I bought the workbench and some kind of a large metal Graco partition that had a bunch of Graco aluminum accent pieces on it. I couldn't leave the accent pieces behind!

I bought lot 718 and 721. I passed on the other stuff but maybe should have bought it , but I only have so much room!
That overhead shop lighting assembly was pretty neat but "BIG". I wouldn't have had the time to take it down! LOL
Heres a picture of it, just after I finished cleaning and wiring it. It sits in the same spot in my shop now, but I've got the glass panel replaced and all sorts of Cities Service cans sitting on top!

They are actually very easy to transport, as it takes about 1/2 hour to take it apart into 3 pieces and the 2 side cabinets are easily handled by one person. It wouldn't take much of a trailer to handle the rest either. It was all loaded by hand with 3 people.
I had a 5 hour drive-one way to get there, but I had been looking for quite a while and was determined! LOL
