I like your workbench! I made a similar one that I put on casters.

I love this workbench. I just rearranged my basement and need to consolidate. You have plans for this you can share?

Woodworkers do like the Lightning. My wife often finds wood she needs help hauling. In this case both the bed and the trailer were full lol.

She watches a bunch of YouTube woodworkers and more than one has a lightning….
Now if only we could build an Alaska mill on a trailer than runs off the 30 amp in the bed…

One for the list of Lightnings doing things you don't see very often: A visit to the gas station.

In this case to top off a gas can for the snow blower before 1-2 feet of snow start to arrive in a few hours.

Also, team Red.

Did the same yesterday afternoon, I've put more fuel in my snow blower this winter than the Harley.

I've done that a couple times. Filling the gas cans for my Honda generator. Have not needed it for a power outage (at a two way radio site, not at home) for almost a year, but I do replace the gas every few months. In fact I'm due to do that again...

It is a really weird feeling pulling up to the gas pumps in an electric truck...

it does feel "odd" pulling into a gas station - to fill up a few cans for snow machine, snow blower - but not need 'fuel' for the truck. LOL.

I bought them here for $15 4 years ago and it looks like they're still on there for the same price. That's a fraction of what you'll spend on the two pieces of plywood you need. The plans come with 33 pages of detailed measurements and one big pdf with instructions. I didn't regret it. You'll have to modify them to fit the dimensions of your table saw and the depth on the flip table to the table height of your miter saw. If you don't want many or any of the screws to show (it's how the instructions are written), you'll want a pocket hole jig. Otherwise, just slightly countersink your screws into the top. And if you don't have a dado blade on your table saw, you'll be spending a lot of time trying to cut castle joints 1/8th of an inch at at time like I did. Let me know how it goes or if you have any trouble buying the plans.

Beautiful thanks. I figured it was Etsy. Found a few other similar ones.

My brother's truck is in the shop, so he asked me to tow his RV to his camping spot. It is about 70 miles away, all 2 lane, lots of hills (foot hills of the Appalachian mountains). His RV is about 24 feet long and #4500. An easy tow and it made it with 57% battery left. It averaged about 60F on the trip. Could have brought it back if we needed to. :)
