I've been taking metalsmithing classes for a while and watching for a bench.

Today i saw these on sake at Harbor Freight and pickedone up. The drawer alignment is bad, but it is solid and i was able to mount a bench pin/soldering station on it.

I'm looking forward to working here now. I can open the window to vent fumes and the lights have magnifiers on them and are nice and bright.

I drilled some holes at an angle in the lid of a cigar box to hold my rotary bits:

I have an other photo but for some reason i can't post it.

I'm going to surprise my wife with a pendant for Christmas. I'm planning in using the loepardskin Jasper cab i did a couple weeks ago bezel set in copper with a black patina.

She doesn't know I've been taking metalsmithing, so i hope this is a huge surprise.

Gotta wait until this house sells to get one though. Hopefully that happens before I die.

This one is a woodworking bench but hopefully can do the job. If you have the space, the bench is about $160 at Harbor Freight right now.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
