Default I think I have a problem

Not sure why I keep buying stuff. At my age I should be getting rid of things. Maybe subconsciously, I think that if I have enough to do, I can't die til its done.

Oh well.

First up: Handy TearDown table. These things are awesome. Public surplus from a local vo-tech. I used to use one when working on PS pumps or gearboxes, but they work great for anything you are tearing down that has fluid. Designed for transmission teardown, there is a drain on one side with a removable pan underneath. Keeps messes to a minimum. This one is missing that pan, but I am confident I can find one to fit.

Also, some moron cut a hole in the top on the other side, OVER the locking drawer. Really? Guessing they probably mounted a fixture for holding something; who knows? Anyway, this is why I don't throw away much scrap metal. I cut a hole in this piece of scrap to patch the hole in the table. Ground down the welds and sanded it smooth (almost.... hey, this isn't body work).

It is on heavy duty wheels and casters, so I can bring it right under a car on the lift.
Fits nicely next the South stairs. I also bought a couple of lighter duty work benches, both with maple butcher block tops. Can't have too many work benches. Put one by the Handy table and the other one is on the other side of the shop so my brother can use it working on his Formula 2000 he is prepping for autocross.
