Safety First ;-)

Making stuff has been on hold this week while we do a few fixes in the shop. There's nothing like molten silver trying to roll off the bench onto the floor to get you moving! And then I thought what if it had made it to the floor and melted a hole in the acetylene hose...not good. Time to re-level.

Supplies: A couple of extra-long deck screws

Tools: a level, a length of pipe, a hydraulic jack, and a cordless drill with a screwdriver bit

Step 1: Place jack and pipe under front edge of bench and raise it a bit for support.

Step 2: Undo screw holding brace at wall.

Step 3: Place level on bench and raise jack until bench is level.

Step 4: Fasten brace to wall using extra-long deck screw.

Step 5: Repeat for additional brace.

The best part was that I never even had to move stuff off the bench. Thanks, Ed!
