It's been a long time since I posted here. I moved to Germany for work in the meantime. I can see a few familiar names. Who's still around...Gunner? Igor? Bob? Eric? Ernie? Leon? Brian? Harold? Spehro? Wayne?

Here are pictures of my latest project. I just built a sturdy workbench for my new basement. It's designed for quick dismantling. Paint and a 40 mm thick plywood top are yet to come:

Very nice!

I am wondering, why did you choose not to weld the top frame?

Because that would stop me dismantling the bench into small parts for transport.

It's actually very rigid because of the arrangement of bolts. When you push on the bench in a perpendicular direction, two bolts in each leg are loaded in shear, but two are loaded in tension. The two which are loaded in tension stop the other two from slipping, even if they aren't very tight.

Nice design. Nice work.

Maybe apply the same to fixturing if you are planing on doing any welding on this table?

Goot nabin mein herr! Good to see you back on the groups!

Nice job on the bench! What top did you put on it?

As to the regulars..most are still here..some are not. Some of us
have been doing hobby or work stuff and cant get here as often as we'd
like.

So what job are you doing in Deutchland?

Looks nicely done! You must be renting to build something that can be
quickly dismantled.

I like the design. Not what you usually see. But it works well and is
simple enough. I'll bet you could easily use the same angle iron for
the top as the legs too. Weld the flat piece the bolts go through and
then add a triangle shaped strut between the flat/angle for rigidity.

Good to see that you're still here. I remember the pictures after your operation and they looked pretty painful. Think that was about the time I drifted away from r.c.m.

So what job are you doing in Deutchland?

I now teach courses for mechanical engineers in English.

I could have used the same angle for the top frame, yes, but I was looking for a quick and reliable design which was simple to build. It might be more awkward getting the legs square with angle around the top. As it is, the legs are almost perfectly vertical. I can't detect a lean in any of them.

No, but it needs to be shipped and carried through a basement door on my own. It's just more convenient if it comes apart.

Cool!! Sounds interesting. I lost most of my German when I had the
stroke right after the heart surgery. Lost my Finn, Vietnamese and
German, most of my Spanish..but some of it has come back..though Im
not doing really well in English either (Grin)

Good to see you back! Hang around and join in. It will be fun having
metalworking discussed for a change.

Nope. Repair and assembly together with a bit of woodwork. But the bench is designed so that it could be fitted with a metal top suitable for welding at a later date.

Mark Wieber claims he called someone and Cliff was taken care of. Nothing could be further from the truth. I spoke with Cliff's sister and confirmed what I suspected all along... Cliff had been sick and bed ridden for years. He finally passed away from his many illnesses.

I should also add that Cliff had aliened his entire family including his sister, Melissa. In our conversations, I found Melissa to be a very compassionate person and very nice. She raises Arabian horses.

No he didn't you worthless, lying ****. There was nothing sudden about Cliff Huprich's death at all.

Cliff Huprich had been sick for many years and was often bed ridden. In the end he contracted pneumonia which finally killed him. This can be confirmed by anyone who wishes to talk with his sister, Melissa.
