Thanks. I got it from webrestaurantstore.com shipped for less than my Vaporshrak rDNA. :laugh: It's funny really how the cost of one thing vs. another thing can shed light on how we value a dollar -- and this is something that will have multiple uses. It was nice to see my wife excited for something I bought that is ecig related. ;)

Here is my model: Regency 18 Gauge 24" x 48" 304 Stainless Steel Commercial Work Table with Backsplash and Undershelf

All is good with a happy wife. My wife like to puff on my ecig from time to time but doesn't inhale. I'm just getting started in the DIY stuff and the startup costs are mounting and my wife complains a little about it. Maybe she needs a SS counter top. Hmmm? We live in a small apt so I don't see me having a nice setup like that but maybe someday. Thanks for sharing your juice bar.

My supplies are taking up a few shelves in my pantry, so out of sight. But on juice making day, I have a good spread layed out on my kitchen table.

This is a great thread. I love seeing everyones setup.

This is my general workstation not only for DIY liquids but builds and such.
I just started DIY about a month ago and its amazing the amount of 'stuff' that accumulates so quickly :D

I like the parts bins with the little pull out drawers, I have been thinking about getting some of those, but the ones I have seen are junk, those look like better quality. Do you remember where you got those at?

Thanks

See attached pics of this little guy...



The cutting tool had to have a way to get rid of the holes.




A Walmart flashlight, pvc "t" fitting, an old hotel ball point pen, a dime, and some epoxy made this happen. Notice I hand filed the "saw teeth" notches and beveled the outer edge on the business end of the flashlight/punch/drill to allow cleaner cutting all the way through.

Well hot damn. Now we're thinkin! I love it. I may do something similar with the styrofoam.

These things work great. They are stackable and are pretty stable as the feet sit in pockets (If that makes any sense). The doors on the front close if you need to transport or pack away in a closet etc. too.
I actually got the idea on ECF in another similar thread some time ago. Highly recommended!

i am defiantly going to be buying making this thanks for the diea

You make me proud! The multi colored cabinet is from Walmart. My local store had 4 in stock yesterday. The flashlight (hole cutter) is another Walmart item. I found mine in the hunting & fishing department (about $2.00). Making this hole cutter was my biggest challenge.

Good luck, and be sure to post your pictures...

Thanks for the kind words. Being retired, I have more time than anything else. The colored molded things are made from a mixture of our VG and unflavored gelatin (Knox). Amazon.com : Knox Original Gelatin (32-Count Envelopes), Unflavored, 8-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 2) : Cooking And Baking Gelatin Mixes : Grocery & Gourmet Food

The flat white trays are Styrofoam sheets from Lowes (or Home Depot). I cut them to fit the drawer and then started to figure out how to easily, cheaply, cleanly, reliably, quickly create the small holes in a neat pattern without destroying the underside of the sheets. That took some trial and error. I finally built a hand tool from an old flashlight... See attached pics of this little guy...

I've really got to thank you for the cutting tool idea Rowdy! My daughter is beginning a foray into perfuming (she uses TPA as well) and your cutter tool has saved me a ton of aggravation and time getting her work area set! Thanks again!
