I have tore up my workshop from the floor up.  Now I’m in the process of fitting everything back in plus add some cute.

During the last series Part III or Buzz, Buzz….light I “wired” the shed {actually just ran a long extension cord…but did it cute}!

Now that I have power I can take apart my two old large work tables {they have been stored in the garage} and reusing the wood, screws, and nails rebuild them with space planning in mind.

Below is a picture of the tables in my previous workshop.

DecoratingBlogWorkTablesI built three tables but gave one away when we moved.

My plan with the two remaining tables is to build one higher without a back.  Then this table would fit over the other one.  Both have locking wheels.  The smaller table would have a shelf to hold as many tools as I can fit…think clowns in a Volkswagen.

DecoratingBloglumberThere’s a small part of the mess I made taking the tables apart.

It’s been a long while since I worked with screws and bolts I had to keep “Righty Tighty, Lefty Loosey” running through my mind.

But this is what I came up with.  Move your mouse over the picture below; then click on the picture to see the two tables at work.

Using the router I created a place to inset a metal ruler on the larger work table.
