  • When my backyard neighbor passed away, his family sold me this large workbench that had come from the Brown & Sharpe factory in Providence, RI, where he had worked for many years.

    Great workbench (in every sense of the word), and the new concrete lip looked like a really good upgrade to the floor!

      Thanks! It’s been a great addition to the shop!

    I love that you brought the tabletop around and then used it as an outdoor workbench for a few months 😆
    Keeping it real!

      Thanks! It was super useful for that purpose! I have since moved - brought the bench with me and glued the part I cut off back on.

    That’s some interesting cement work on your original floor. Super jealous of the fact you can find stuff like that around there. Where I live historic stuff starts in the 1950’s

      Yeah, it was kind of an interesting way they sloped the floor. 😂

    Maybe you should abandon the basement for a workshop and build a 20x30 workshop out back. BTW My Grandfather work as an inspector for Brown and Sharpe from 1918-1949. I thought I recognized that workbench. (not)

      Re: your grandfather - cool 😎! I ended up abandoning the basement workshop. For another basement workshop. Fml
