Great job. I’ve seen a few other people do this. Just a hint though, you could probably cut down the video by almost 10 minutes as most people already know why they need to save space and clear their benchtop. Most people will come to your channel already having a problem. You just need to film the solution. Also, I will go out on a limb and say that most people with quite a bit of tools I have access to a pick up truck with a receiver hitch. The system I’m setting up currently is based off of my pick up female receiver hitch. I can fab or buy a matching one from eBay or Harbor Fraud, bolt it to my bench top, and just fabricate 2 x 2 steel tubing with flat plate for my vice, Grinder, drill press,etc. **** bonus: you can now take these items and put them on the back of your pick up if you are a mobile mechanic or have a second shop location. i’m currently working on a UA-cam video for this. BTW, love your fabrication welding table. Keep up the good work!
Man you need some diagonal supports under that high shelf with all those heavy things on it. Wow, what a disastrous crash that would make if it came down.
Excellent idea. I'm going to incorporate it into my small basement workshop. But, why-oh-why did it take 15:16 to provide five minutes of useful information?
rlm98253 some people may not have the experience or background you do. These videos and this channel are here to show everyone that they too can do this stuff. I try to show from start to finish with plenty of explanation how and why so they are less intimidated and more likely to give it a try themselves.
I really like this Idea alot! Kinda reminds me of alot of the clamp-on bench tools used for hand powered work, like a bench block/pin for sawing as an example, or a clamp on "anvil." Anyways, I think I'm going to adapt this for a wooden workbench, this seems alot more solid than a flip-top solution, which for me seems inconvenient as I prefer to sit at my workbench. I wonder if it would be reasonable to try to build some sort of bench tool similar to the setup you showed here but taken a step further, to mount a bench-top tool like a sander, a scroll saw, or a grinder/polisher, on poseable arms (heavy duty monitor or tv stands of some sort or the like?) that would allow you to move a given tool say up high and against a wall when not in use, but then be able to swing down on a spring or pneumatic assisted arm and locked into place either from free floating, or into a locking plate attached to your workbench or a seperate stand. I think it might be a cool idea to make the most efficient and easiest workshop/laboratory setup for a given space; especially for small workspaces. I wonder if it could be even be done on the cheap using simple pulley technology. Thanks for the video, it was very informative and helpful!
Hey I’ve got fabrication woodworking machining and just general tools and I’m thinking about doing this in my whole garage. Did you ever do any kind of follow up just to show what the workflow is with us technique? I’d really appreciate it.

Thank you appreciate that! The truck hitch is a great idea, I would have mentioned that but don’t have a truck to demonstrate on. At least not yet.

I can’t believe I missed this video! This is awesome I’m considering putting something like this in my garage

Great idea my friend
Thank you! Hope it helps other people in small spaces, make the most of what they do have.
I just did the same but added locking bolts on the side. Sick shop
Good idea! Thank you!

Absolutely. Good luck on your project and thank you!
First! Lol very cool idea!

I haven’t. I still use the mounting idea for most of my tools off of my new weld table. Still works like a champ.
Nice shirt!! Not a bad video either.
Max Haslip lol thanks
