I designed and built this as a (Easter) gift to my 8yr. old son. Drawer is lined and has real tools while the bottom cabinet stores a drill, handsaw, and project supplies. He's all excited over it, but the little guy has to wait for the paint to fully harden. He's even got 3 different hammers on that peg hook!

that's a nice bench.

We are about to have our first baby, and it's a boy. So i told my wife that I gotta get a hammer in his hand when he's about 4 or 5, so that he can start training to run my construction business someday. It might have to be a plastic hammer in the beginning, or I'm afraid I'll be repairing the walls in a lot of places. haha

Great gift for a youngen to learn to tinker with.

Now you better that hiding your good tools, or he will have them apart in no time flat.

I don't know which of the mods moved this from Off Topic to Projects, but that was a mistake--that workbench rightly belongs in Shop Talk!

Which one of those is the radio fixin hammer? :)

He's real good about staying awya from the big shop tools. Then again he's only a 2nd grader and still intimidated by "noisy steel". We'll see if things change if he should become a cocky teenager! :rocker

The "radio fixin' hammer" is privy only to me! It's a 5-lb. hand maul on a short handle that offers maximum velocity! :haha

Speaking of youngins in the workshop. I have a Square D master shut-off box to install so all power is removed from the powertools. I'll have to run one bypassed line to the tv set so I don't have to keep reprogramming the channels everytime I turn it on and to operate the radio as well.

Roger, could I order one of those hammers... now that it is part of my actual job...

I hate motorola, I have reprogammed all the counties radios 4 times (100 plus portables/75 mobiles different makes/models)

Motorola makes you have windows running, dos running, the RIB and then the specific cable for the radio....

Maybe I need a workbench with that to please :help
