flarud Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 When you take those clamps off, the concrete and water is going to be sent shooting straight up thru the ceiling.Ā Really it will,,, I saw it happen in a cartoon once!Ā LOL Gene Howe, WayneMahler, amazingkevin and 5 others 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new2woodwrk Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Crossing my fingers for you. However, if it's that warped, I'm concerned for you and the outcome. Foxfold, amazingkevin and OCtoolguy 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say you weighted it sufficiently. Ā amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look carefully at the bottom I have some pieces in there sandwiched between some really thick mdf.Ā It just came in handy to put my big A3 'car' onto while I clamped it.Ā Ā It is incredibly strong, when it's empty I turn it upside down and use it as a step to reach things on the top shelf.Ā amazingkevin, new2woodwrk, WayneMahler and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingkevin Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 I,m very impressed to see a woman,s work shop. As I expected not a spec of saw dust anywhere! Just like the car it could be covered with dirt, snow, rain and it still has the potentials to be a hair raiser in any given secound!!! Let's see more of your shop pretty please!!!

I'm not sure you were asking me but I forgot to add, if I don't have enough clampsĀ I use landscaping bricks sitting on another piece of wood on top to hold it down.
