From the BillyBob Shop log - March 10th 2014 On saturday, I got the hoist off the truck and stowed away. A couple of strong young guys had loaded it but Im moving on in years and always aware of how easy it is to injure myself these days. Anyway, it went well and Ill figure out how to put it together when Im ready to move BillyBobs engine. Then, spent a few hours putting together a workbench from Global Equipment. Im getting a collection of bench tools but have no workbench to put them on and rotating them on and off the Black & Decker Workmate is getting old. I wanted a mobile unit so I could wheel it around and keep the flying metal bits from collecting in corners of the shop. There were a few units I liked better than this 30 x 48 inch model but they were shipped fully assembled and I am rarely at the BillyBob Shop during delivery hours so I have things shipped to the Krash Lab where I can load them in Deerslayers bed. I am therefore limited to the size of shipments. It took some head scratching to put this thing together as there were no step-by-step instructions and the general hodge podge collection of SAE - Metric, allen head machine screws and self-taping sheet metal screws were provided. I laid everything out and studied it awhile with a cigar before diving in. When I finished and manhandled it upright, I had a good base of operations for future metalwork.
