Classy!I previously posted this on my shed thread but thought I'd share it here.
If you have already seen this, just disregard.
Started life as a Menard's Over-The-Range Microwave display they were selling for $5.
I turned it into a bodywork cart.

You have a welder. Everything is reversible.
I like that.I posted this back in 2013 in this thread. Repurposed a whole house fan into a 2-speed fan for my garage.
The repurposing thread
I don't believe I've seen a thread like this so I thought I'd start one. Show off your repurposed items. Prefer "useful" things versus scrap turned into "art". I'll start with my plasma cart made from an old pressure washer cart. Welded some shaped round stock around various places to hold the...www.garagejournal.com
I built a similar one about 40 years ago to cool air cooled motorcycles during tuning and such. Two different bulldogs I have had over the last few years both laid claim to it.Harvested a blower from my old furnace. I repurposed the extension cord, electrical box, and HF cart as well. Only had to buy the switch (which I didn’t really have to use).
Breezy days in the garage now!
Gnarly, man!New grate for my repurposed Weber kettle fire pit from rebar salvaged from the horrible planter demolition:
The outer ring is 3 separate pieces bent with my conduit bender. Not perfect, but more robust than the Weber grills that don't last long burning oak on them.

What size is that bar? #3?New grate for my repurposed Weber kettle fire pit from rebar salvaged from the horrible planter demolition:

No. Just 4 screws on the frame so it was quick to change. A slot would be easily doable though.
Is that the opposite of weird?It’s getting Wierd in here.
The 1/4” rubber mat or an old section of conveyor belt make the best work top surface out of every material I have ever tried. I used mat tops in industrial machining and maintenance for 30 years and they can take the punishment.
Love this!
Nice coping!
You need to learn to cope if you're going to make in this world.
That aluminum trim also makes a great French cleat.I had several modular drawer units with ball bearing drawer guides, so I bolted a stack of 5 together and set them into an angle iron frame dolly that I made for it to create a roll around cabinet. There was a new roll of golf cart floor mat material in the contingency materials building, so a piece got cut for a work surface top. To retain the mat there was a wide piece of aluminum trim from an old storm door on the metal rack, so it got fitted and attached to the upper corner to provide a hold down for the mat and a retainer lip to prevent small pieces from rolling off. This cabinet now gets used next to a tooling storage rollaround in the machining room for small metal drops for various milling machine and lathe projects, and for additional worktop space.
Does copecetic fit into this somehow?
Hopefully "The wheels on the bus go round and round" gets stuck in your head for the rest of the month for posting that link....
