Well, its finally coming back together....

I decided to replace the old hollow core door with a solid core door. I can't believe how much that thing weighs!!!!!! Then again, its lighter than the granite worksurface my father tried to pick up for me when he was getting the new countertops for his new house.....

I mounted the door on the bench I built, then I squared up the thing. Checked it for level every 6" on both axes all the way down, shimmed it where it was not level.... Its smoooooooth. I also anchored it to the bench at the back to keep it stable and prevent my adjustments from getting moved...

Then I topped the board with 1/2" sheetrock and checked everything for square...

Finally, I took the old pegboard and re-installed it, but did it right this time with spacers off the walls. I also hung the old parts divider to get it off the bench....


Ohhhh yeah, notice the fire extinguishers? If you don't have some mounted near your bench, you are asking for trouble.....

looking good jeremy... ive struggled with lighting issues in my model room.. i may go with a setup like you have...i may add an extinguisher as well...
