Tool Stand from Trashed Desk
 

I picked up this child's desk this morning by the curb. The top appears to
be maple and it has sturdy legs and a nice shelf for stuff. It even has a
sticker for Papa John's. I'll remove the top, do a little sanding and glue
it back together. Spray on a little grey paint on those metal portions
Viola!! my new tool stand.

Grey? Not yellow? Did you get NOTHING from my webpage?

I picked up 2 "student tables" at a garage sale a few years ago for $5
each... 2 x 4' with same shelf and adjustable metal legs...

One is one the patio covered with the wife's gardening stuff, the
other is the foundation for my Jet mini at the moment... used to have
my router table on it...
They work great, because they're built "kid tough".. *g*

My son don't try to keep his father's tools he borrows (hehehe) As far as
learning from your pages. I book marked several of the pages with some of
those great links.....

You might want to save any links you're especially nterested in.
I'm mostly adding links just now, but anything I see that I'm not
interested in anymore I'll discard.

Your son must not drive yet.

I knew that years ago.

size of their toys (probably also price which makes the desks a real
bargain. L-)

but the old saying still holds true, Glenna...

He who dies with the most toys...

Still dies
