Work Bench Phase Two - pegboard

Installed furring strips and pegboard on one wall.  Will do the same for the other wall.  A shelf will be installed above the pegboard.

  Furring strips glued and screwed to the wall.

Pegboard attached to furring strips.  Pegboard will be painted white.

Pegboard complete.  First coat of many  polyurethane sealer on the bench. 

Air Hose

I was tried of tripping over the rubber air line hose that came with my compressor.  So I clamped the quick disconnect fitting to the side of the workbench with a 1/2 inch copper pipe standoff. Now I plug in a 25 foot coiled hose into the fitting and can reach the whole shop when  not in use I can hang the hose on a coat hook  out of the way and not be tripping over the hose.

What to do with some scap lumber

After building the bench I had some leftover 2 x 4's.  The former owner left two sheets of 1/4 inch plywood that was getting in the way.  So I decided to it to good use and make a portable work table with two sawhorses that I had.

 First cut the plywood to size 20 x 60 inches

Next cut 2 x 4's and build the frame.

Glue and screw plywood to the frame.  Put the table on the sawhorses and add tools.

miter saw and drill press.

I drilled holes in the table to bolt down the saw and drill press.
