workbench update - 1

The day after I built my workbench, I added to it.
I guess you could say I finished it.
I put a rail on the back edge of the bench top.

This rail helps to keep stuff from hitting the window!
It works great!

THE WORKBENCH WINDOW SAFETY RAIL BUILD:

I used a 2x4x8 I had lying around.
It was a bit long so I cut it down.


I also notched the rail to fit the rear bench mount and spacer.
Here I am using my workbench to build my workbench.


The bench mount is the vertical 1x4 in the corner.
It keeps the workbench off the wall and secures it to the wall.



The rail allows me to push tools or projects up and out of the way.
Thus making space for more tools or more projects.
Without pushing something through the window!


As a side note:
I created a wire loop and routed my extension cord here.
Conveniently located right under the workbench, its always ready.
The wire loop also keeps the slack up and out of the way.
