In my efforts to better organise my workshop, I finally made use of the last of the TV trolleys that I got from a department store several years ago.  They consisted of a base with a cabinet, which housed a video player.  There are two round, hollow columns on which a bar to hold a TV is mounted and positionable for the ideal height.  You will all remember walking into a store and seeing a promotional/instructional video being looped.

One I chopped up a few years ago and used just the base for the grey cupboard into which the drawers unit (I posted a few weeks back) went into.  

Another, I converted to a mobile work space that I can move next to my mill or lathe to give me a surface to hold tools etc:

   

The last one I decided to use in a similar fashion, particularly when I am working on cars, as I never seem to have enough space to put things.  I cut one of the columns to sit below the top surface whilst the other extends through.  I'm going to turn up a collar that will sit over this and allow a smaller diameter tube to be positioned and locked off at a specific height.  This will hold the oil drain pan that I made, as it wouldn't fit under my friends truck when it was on my hoist (due to its height).  This will solve that problem.

I made a couple of storage boxes for the base, into which I have put my chain block, shackles and some of my chain.  The black bag holds my slings.
