Building a welding bench for my new workshop, to gain space I am going to put the chest freezer which stays in the shed underneath the bench. Quite difficult seeing as I want a minimum of 12mm thick top plate.
Made up my own hinge out of 6 needle bearings inside three 38mm tubes with a 24mm bar as the hinge pin. Going to need to use some compensation to aid in lifting the top when access to the freezer is required. I am thinking gas struts.
The top will be 1500mm x 1000mm
Here is a few pictures so far.
and the freezer
