Here it is......rock shop on wheels! I found this at a swap meet a week or so. The door has a lock on it that works! I just painted it, mounted the genie, mounted some drawer containers, built a new drain and water supply and filled it up! It rolls very easily where ever I want it to go! Wacha think?

Get rid of the drawers and mount a generator in there, add a trailer hitch, and bring out to Woodward Ranch! Cool setup Sheri.

Nice set of wheels. All the drawers will come in handy for hiding rocks from yourself. Thats what I do. Never can find what I want, when I want it. Hope it don't move too freely or you will be pulling it back when working, or do the wheels have locks on them? Ken

Hitch it up to Jasper and tour the neighborhood! No better advertising, I would say! Good for you Sheri! You're gonna get alot of mileage outta that! Jo

The wheels have locks, I hooked up a quick release into the water tubing so I can disconnect quickly if I need to move it away from the faucet. I have plugs for the tray holes if I need to use the misters instead of running water. I have installed a power strip behind the Genie so I only have one plug for everything! Did I forget anything?

Damn, it must be nice to be OUTSIDE cabbing this time of year! We hear in the great Pacific Northwest are over double our 'normal' amount of rain this season already,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and the weather quessers keep telling us this in a El Nino year so our winter should be dryer, and warmer. Well my arse it is so far!
Oh, back to subject at hand. Nice find, and very well put together. Like Wolf said it needs flames. They would go so very nice on the black chassis. Woody

Wheels are definitely under-sized. Get yourself some low-profile with the spinning hubcaps.

Nice setup Sheri! Looks like a 6inch top of the line grinder and lots of little storage nooks
Enjoy Charlie

Hey that's pretty cool! Thanks for showing a pic of how the wheels were added as I have that same kind of bench and may want to put wheels on mine too....Mel

Looks great. I often wish I had two lights on my genie. You do need a set of 22's w/spinners, know what I'm sayin'?
PS, great idea to put the foam in the middle of the trays. I know what I'll be doing today.

Very nice bench. I too wish I could be cabbing outside this time of year. Be careful moving it around, I bet it's really top heavy, and with those little wheels, a crack in the sidewalk is all it'll take....

Nice job! I'm sure that baby will get a lot of use! It looks like you've got everything right where you can reach it. Garry
