I wanted to make modular design so I can make another shelf without problem and it is super sturdy, you can mount tool racks to legs etc. Also shelve is not bolted down to main table and main table is not bolted to its legs. Easy to disassemble if needed.

I would seriously consider bolting the shelf down onto those legs to prevent lateral movement, and probably not so urgent but the even the table to the legs if you put something heavy on it. That shelf will end in tears, trust me on this.

Thanks for concern but I tried to shake workbench around and both things were nice and sturdy. Shelf should become even more sturdy when more stuff on it. Those table legs weight 30kg each so they are not rocky or anything. One of the reasons why I bought it

The former being what happened does not necessarily preclude the latter also being the case...

Hi, my first post here in this topic.

After I manage to finish the workbench (waiting for some parts, and for more $$) I update the photo!

Not mine, this is from rfdude.com
Example of using shelving behind the table (useful for larger gear).

Nice shelves of gear, but why on Earth hasn't rfdude re-hung that light batten?

TOCXO?

OK, I give up. Google, Urban Dictionary and encyclopediadramatica don't know it, and neither do I.

I'm guessing it was meant to be tcxo because the light is heating up the box beneath it which happens to be a gps disciplined temperature compensated oscillator.

I laughed

Ahh yes. I was on the right track. I know my reference has the double oven in it, but I'm not sure if that is normal or not.

Pens and pencils in a stubby holder, must be a European thing.

 I have a mug of pens and pencils on my desk. So does my GF on her desk on the other side of the room. Not European here.

The green and black object in the left hand mug is a stubby screwdriver, so I guess that makes it a stubby holder:



Sort of European here. For the time being, at least...

Nope, not just European.  I have coffee cups on my workbench and desk with writing implements, scissors, uRuler, etc.  Been doing it forever.

I actually use one of those stubby beer coolers (which I got in Australia) for pens and small tools.

Doesn't that make the coffee taste kind of funny?
