Good morning gents, I have seen a company I think in Northern Ireland that Make heavy duty workbenches with built in cupboards and drawers, but now I can’t find them. Anyone in the know?
Moving out of a container into a workshop so would like a decent work bench with storage.

Think I may also make a couple of these
As the price bought are eye watering.

nice looking gear and although fair bucks, reasonable for what they're offering ...... hope the bench top is at least 3mm though ... can not beat having a good solid bench top for chucking gear about on ..... and'd need to be min. 8mm without plenty of support (like they do have)

Have a mate who has transmission biz .... made him half a dozen of these over the years for stripping gear boxes on ...... sloped 1" backwards ..... to a catch tray, which sloped to the centre and from there it was piped to a catch drum
6mm tops, muti-ribbed underneath
think this must've been one of the first ones .... can't find any more recent pix :unsure: ..... but should have some somewhere ??

45kg per drawer, that’s just one spanner for @wee_gus :LOL:
I wouldn’t even know where to put my lunch box lol.

I see there is some in Leeds auction at end of Nov also, I will watch and see what the ones in dromore go for and possibly bid on some of the leeds ones if they do for reasonable money, may even take a run down to leeds and get a look

A grand gets you a solid 8x4 workbench built from 20mm plate and scaffolding, a fair few second hand Bisley drawers, and probably change for a decent second hand vise...

Workbench cost probably £400 (less if you go thinner),and drawers average £40 each second hand, so you'd get 15 of them for £600 change left from the bench.

All better built than anything Sealey can make :cautious:

Keep a look out on https://www.sweeneykincaid.com/
There’s always machine shops/fabrication shops been auctioned off some tidy stuff on there from time to time.

I bought a lot of stuff from the hewden auction in Glasgow when they went bust.
