Did some stuff to the Lathe. I had to moved it (so glad I put it on wheels), for my yearly backflow test (I dont understand why I even have one). It had made quite a mess. So I am attempting to fix that.
Had some left over wood, a nice piece of pine that was 12" by 96", perfect! Started as a metal project with adding more metal to the base to support this shelf. Then cut out the wood, it was actually a bit complicated, routed out 3 channels in the wood because the steel isnt all welded in on the same plane.
And then I added a piece of wood to the back to help make it so chips dont fall down the backside. This will have more added to it later.
Attached with hinges, and then a bracket I spent too much time on shaping aluminum square. Might need to beef up the hinges, but these where what I had on hand.
Next up, I cleaned up my work bench. Im really bad about making any surface a place for storage. So this was a nice feeling.
So then naturally I started another project, to hook up another LED light in the garage, so I took some of the wires that came with the kit I had bought, and spliced them together.
The light was for the storage area under the stair case. I dont like the wire, but I couldnt figure out a better solution.
