Thread: Working area in small spaces

Here is a short pictorial as to how to get a work-space into an apartment, rental, or small area.
HF 4ft bench, Assembly required! About an hour in another room with space to get around it; then have a buddy help you move into place. A buddy is good to have help you put it together also. I did it myself then a buddy came to help me move it after his workday.

Flooring is just one box of inexpensive click together flooring to cover the floor carpet. That makes it easier to slide a stool or clean up after bench use. Easier to locate dropped stuff too. Obviously, if you have more room, then cover more area with the flooring. A buffer is not recommended!!

A Bench pin...Google it! Mount it to a removable board to allow its clamping to the table. That will make cutting scales out with a coping/ Jewelers' saw ( blade cuts teeth pointed down.) Or, just board with a "V" slot in the front, like the one at the right side of the bench above. The notch should be about 1+ inches out from the benchtop.When screwed to the table top. Using Screw anchors to allow use of machine screws would make mounting and un-mounting faster!

I chose to add two cheap "Assembly Required" cabinets from a local store. I did not attach the bench to them! I slid the bench into place wedged with a heavier plastic foam..."sill sealer" About $6 a roll at a local hardware/ builders' supply.
Total with the cabinets, about $150

Have fun!
