id put a top on it.. that what stuff wont fall through

[yancy]

depends on what you will be doing with it it could be handy like that if you will be cutting on it, but for welding I would put a top on it or at least on half of it.

[Redneck5]

I will be doing welding on it, I was thinking putting a top on half of it. I was also thinking I shoud be painting it JD Green instead of IH Red.

if you want it to work properly then better paint it red. :laugh: I make a good living welding JD's back together.:D

Not...paint it Lincoln gray....then it will last forever.......:waving:

Put a full top and back splash on it. Hang some of the basics on the back splash. Paint it the old BLM tan so it will set where you saw it last it.:)

Paint it green!!! Then you can sell it for twice what you have in it!!!! :alien:

That's too funny...

[Jolly Roger]

Well you could compromise and paint it Allis-Chalmers orange.

[tapwelder]

Use it as in for a while, then add what you need later.

You guys are making this tough. I also thought about Cat Yellow.

Redneck, my top is in two halves with a gap about six inches between the halves.

I did it like that originally because that's the plate I had, but I now like it because I can clamp things in the middle.

I also find that when I'm working on it, the work piece ends up on one half, and the tools, rods etc end up on the other half. The seperation works well.

I think I will end up doing that, leaving a gap. But we all know that it will not work well with out a good paint job.

Thanks for all you help, this is all most as bad as picking out a a new born baby's name;)

I can only picture two right now.
The lighter, older "Y" block blue, and the darker blue that was on everything for about 25 years.

What was the other one?
