An inexpensive yet versatile molding bench

From molding systems to gating, what goes on at the molding bench will make or break a casting.

When I bought my truck it had this silly diamond plate tool box in the back which really got in the way of my habit of hauling junk home. Now it is a molding bench.

That does look like it makes for a very nice sand storage/work bench, plus the cats cant get in it when it is sitting idle.

That's a great idea. I use an enormous rubber made box. It only holds 200lbs or so.
