MEP-803a work bench

[m32825]

I really like my generator but it takes up a big hunk of floor space. I can move it around with my pallet jack but it always seems to be in the wrong place. I decided to do something about the situation to get the generator out of the way and make better use of the floor space: I built a work bench to park it under. The frame is 2x2x1/4 angle. Height is 42", size is about 4' by 7'.

I wanted a full sheet top to prevent dust, small parts, and liquids from raining down on the generator underneath so I decked the top with 2x6, put down a 1/8" sheet of steel to tie them all together, then put a sheet of matte white Formica on top for a nice, high contrast work surface.

I added a beefy mount for an old Craftsman vise I got from my grandfather to make it special.

Nice, looks great. Do you pull it out with a pallet jack when time to use or test??

Thanks, I'm really happy with how it came out. Yep, pallet jack to move it, table stays put, action shot below...

Very clever utilization of already committed storage space. I like the extendable/removable arm you incorporated for the Vice. Very nice job with the bench!
