Big holes made ...Bob Axsom DIY safe room project that doubles as work bench you can build airplane parts on   Randy, Clayton and I were talking yesterday about tornadoes and what they do to our part of the country.  I found a safe room design online for $3K-$5K that could double as a family tornado shelter (another design).   Since I don't have that kind of money laying around, we thought maybe you could buy steel 3/16 C-channel locally cut to a specific length, maybe workbench height, and then weld them together with the stick welder here in the hangar.   Unlike the online version this would have the rough stuff pointing outward - smooth interior walls. You could tie the four walls together in the corners with some angle iron and bolts. Use a hammer drill, more angle, twenty HILTI expansion bolts and more to tie it into the garage slab.   Bolt on a work surface made out of thicker steel C-channel welded together and then cover that with wood to become a workbench.  Cut in a door with some bad boy welded-on hinges and we're good.  Paint it safety red and put a RESCUE arrow on the door pointing to the knob.   I'm guessing something like this might support the weight of a car, and might even stay attached to the slab if an EF5 decided on us.   Maybe there is an engineering type out there w/something better than MS Paint that finds this interesting, too.   We're thinking about things like this with a renewed vigor around here.   Anywho, if it comes to fruition, we'll keep you in the loop.
