I was just woke up by a delivery man , at just gone 08.00 , he,s keen. Any way just received this monster of a workbench , one condition the wife said before she left for work was , " now you have no excuse for that Sh--ho-- of a place you call a garage , and you can get all them boxes from under the pinball machine and put them in your new workbench. , , ,! Anyway , I,m loving it , Looks like I,ll be doing some tidying on my last day , to try and get it in the garage :clap::);):thumbs:image.jpg image.jpg
 
Yeh , yr right but my pins are in the conservatory , this is for the half of a garage I have left after she pinched the other half for a utility room ,
Now comes the master plan - if I keep building up the collection of pins and workbenches , she will have to give in to the need for more space - move house or get a big garden room with a workshop on the side , ! It could be a long drawn out Master plan , but the seeds are planted now :thumbs:
 
The big boy is in and new flooring down , loads more to do but most of it will have to wait till I get back from Africa. image.jpgBefore , - I,m embarrassed by the clip of the garage :pimage.jpg image.jpg The flooring , p.s. If anyone wants any flooring , halfords have it on special. £15 for a box. Or you get 2boxes for £20. The cheapest I have seen it on ebay is £26. Inc delivery for one box. Get yourselves down to halfords. :thumbs:
 
Lee,

Is it solid enough to put pins on (as a flooring for a shed over the top of the wood or similar) or is it a little too spongy??

Cheers :)

It is a bit spongy , it is about 15 mm thick , if you put something on it that is heavy on a small footprint it compresses to about half the thickness , but I would say that is ok once the pin legs have bedded down , and the surface is a bit stronger material than the rest so I would dare say it would not rip and I imagine it would go back into shape if you moved the pin , I'll get a tile and put it under the front 2 legs on one of my pins and see what it goes like :thumbs:
 
Here's a photo , Paul of the legs on the tile , it has just gone on 2 mins ago , I,ll take another couple of photos during the rest of the day image.jpgAnd I,ll show you how indented the tile is after the pin is removed and see if it goes back to its original shape
 
As long as it's stable-ish and doesnt shag them up too much then thats a great...

I have some on reserve now :D

Will be interesting to see the results of your experiment Lee :) cheers :)
 
Here are some photies of the flooring now and with the pin removed and replaced , I, will take another in an hour or so to see if the indentations have gone ,.
But no ripping of the tile and the pin is just as steady. I think they will do a good job and last , as long as your not like the hulk throwing the machine around to stop the little shiny ball from going down the drain. ;)image.jpg image.jpg
