Orange gloat

[Trent Mason]

Well, I managed to fit a 12" Ridgid MS, stand, compressor, and nail guns in our 2 door (NEVER AGAIN :no Honda Civic, along with my suitcase and other tool boxes. Needless to say, it was a tight ride home from Charlotte. :swoon: But alas, I'm back and got some new toyls! :eusa_danc:eusa_danc:eusa_danc Here's the proof. :icon_thum

As for the previous MS table, I turned it over, took it apart, and cut the legs shorter with the circular saw to make it an out feed table for the TS/work bench. I'll probably put some casters on it shortly. :thumbs_up:thumbs_up I figured I'd leave the MS on its stand so I can quickly load it up to do carpentry work.

Converted to a TS outfeed table/workbench

I also got those boxes of books out of the shop, so now all I have in there are tools and equipment. Well, and the grill, but it can stay. :gar-Bi

Thanks for lookin :icon_thum

Congrats! If you need some hauling while I'm up (hopefully picnic) I got a good toy hauler (F250 Longbed). So let me know if you ever need the help while I'm around.

Nice gloat Trent, congrats. I've been very happy with my Ridgid MS, it will serve you well.

Nice gloat. Just a word of caution tho...before folding the MS stand you have to slide the MS to the wheeled end....and make TRIPLE sure that you re-lock the clamps holding the MS to the stand...DAMHIKT !!!! Close call.

That's a heck of a haul in a go-cart :rotflm: and a nice cluster of gloatage.

I like the compressor set up. Is it quiet? my PC pancake compressor is LOUD!! Scares the bejeepers out of everyone when it fires up. Wonder if it would fit conveniently in my van.

Wow, that's some serious gloatage and some incredibly packing talent!!! Congrats!

Hey, Trent. You can gloat all you want, but personally I don't believe it -- not about the tools, about the Civic! Oh, I just got it -- you rode on top with your arms stretched to steer. Must have been a tiresome drive! :kermit: Congrats on your ingenuity and the new toys. Rich

Congratulations on your new toys. :eusa_clap I thought my daughter and SIL were the queen and king of creative Honda packing when I sent them back to CT with a Skil tablesaw and stand (similar to yours), and a dehumidifier. Reading your post I see they have been dethroned. :rotflm:In all fairness, I should point out that on a few occasions they have crammed a week's worth of luggage, two complete scuba set-ups, a telescope, and a metal detector in her car for a vacation in Key West. I recently freed up some shop floor space by hanging my plastic sawhorses on the shop wall, you might consider doing the same.:wsmile:

Thanks Glenn. I've been driving a Honda Civic for over 10 years now and was also a former bell captain at a resort. So if there were a college course on how to pack a lot of stuff into a small car, I think I'd be qualified to teach it. :rotflm:

As far as saving room in the shop, I think I need to hang a lot of things on the wall. :swoon:
