Hello Barry.

Looks Good, but that bench won't look that empty for long, mines looks like a small twister hit it, then when I get tired of having a hard time finding stuff I clean again(about once a week).


Tight Wraps.

Bob,

New Bern, NC.

The installation under the hip roof is a great use of space in your shop.

Be safe

I would put either a formica top or a good couple of coats of Rockhard Table varnish on the top surface. It will help a lot in being able to dust and clean the surface.

Barry, you might want to think of a neutral color for your top surface. White reflects a lot of light back at you and depending on the surface the glare might not be what you wish to have. I have old eyes, and the neutral colors on surfaces are much more forgiving. I prefer a light gray or a light tan. Either is not as harsh on the old eyeballs. :>)

A pastel mint green would be best for your eyes. Check the RodMaker series on the mobile rod building workshop we did back in volume 10 and 11.

pastel min green would work for me too!! Look at your computer screen when it is all white, and you will see what I mean by glare.
