Let's see your shop refrigerator

[#41]

This time of year one of the work benches doubles as my fridge.

My "shop" refrigerator is not for storing food. I do a lot of personal custom CF/FG composite fabrication, hoods, trunks, shrouds, diffusers, spoilers, etc.
Purchasing the resins/epoxies in larger quantities keeps costs reasonable. The problem is the liquids seldom have a shelf-life thru experience and manufacturer claims of more than a year. I have extended that to over 8 years storing the resins at 40F. All my body putties, etc are also keep within. The freezer side I keep completely stocked with .5 liters of frozen water bottles, since this is Florida and I might lose power.

I learned that Florida makes lite work of anything like that stored outside, or in a non-climate controlled environment.

My tire plug glue, sprinkler pipe PVC glue, thread locker, and any opened gasket sealer goes in the shop frige butter dish area.

Nope, you shouldn't. It works just fine.

It doesn't matter much IMO how big your gas tank is, it matters how far you can go on what gas you got.

Closing the door and a defrost might help.

A cold PBR or two should make you feel better...

Nice anvil.

 

[RemCharger]

How about the garage sale tea towel the missus bought me for a quarter lol

Nice anvil.

Thanks! I use it a lot. Years ago my widowed mom was dating a local guy and he felt he should give something to my brother and me. I got a school house bell and he got the anvil. I weaseled the anvil away from him! I kept the bell too.

I like the anvil, too. I hope the Roadrunner can drop it on the Coyote!

I used to have one of those old square cornered fridges, with freezer on top. I sanded it down, and painted it red. Then, using black pinstripe tape, taped it off to look like tool box drawers.Then I bought generic drawer pulls and attached them with self-tapping screws. It looked like a tool box with top tool chest, and it fooled a lot of people. The compressor eventually quit, and I junked it.

Cool idea, literally!
You can do a lot of neat stuff with tool boxes, in the office, bathroom, even the kitchen. I've seen some cool bathroom vanities made of toolbox. Winter project anyone?
