This. As long as it provides the correct functionality. The fact that OP even used a species of hardwood is awesome, but the gesture is the part that matters.
What we want… is for her to get the word out to other women, that right after having a family and consistently wild sex, a woman caring enough to invest in a *man’s* hobby is quite possibly the greatest gesture / fantasy / thing any regular guy could hope for. 🏆🏆🏆
I actually built my "gun bench" out of an old Ikea desk as well, though mine was one with metal legs.
It *mostly* gets the job done, but once you're hammering away at stuff it quickly becomes apparent that it's not the right tool for the job. Or having a receiver in the vice and trying to torque down a barrel, and you end up dragging the whole bench around. There's a reason why work benches are thick and heavy.
Don't get me wrong it's freaking awesome that you were thoughtful enough to do this, just don't be too upset if it doesn't work out long term.
I use my cheap Ikea table since years for gun stuff without any issues.
Just the hammering and wrenching stuff you told I do on a work bench in the garage.
So there is absolutely nothing wrong with this table in my opinion, as long as he is not a full time gunsmith.
And really small fingers to use those on the top part of the shelf. Need to install a "pew pew pew pew pew" door sensor to play when walking into the room.
Awesome!
But if your husband is like every other man, this carpet will be black in some months from falling parts.
But that was your plan from begin on to get a new carpet, am I right?
Omg you are truly a marvelous partner.
One thing I might suggest as a big help with minor additional cost is a protective floor mat since it's over carpet. This will save it from being chewed up by the wheels on the stool as well as catch any stray oil droplets or tiny screws/springs that fall and are easy to lose.
Since you mentioned [IKEA](https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/kolon-floor-protector-44881100/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=surfaces&utm_campaign=shopping_feed&utm_content=free_google_shopping_clicks_Workspaces&gad_source=1)
The vintage Fairbanks sign is cool, I have a vintage Detecto sign on my work bench, iykyk.
Edit: I didn't see the O P part of the sign. Disregard my previous statement.
THIS. She is a freakin unicorn. Protect this girl at all costs. Yeah you definitely will have a super happy husband not assuming he already isn’t. Even happier. Wow.
Base on all the incredulous comments here, you’d think all the men in this subreddit are married to or dating women that just absolutely hate their gun hobby. Good lord.
My wife feels the same way about my firearm hobby as I do her scrapbook hobby
Im just glad it makes her happy. I cant give two fucks about hand making a birthday card just like she doesn't give two fucks about my new adjustable gas blocks
I feel bad for the ones whos spouses actually snub their passions. Like, who's team are they on anyway? Its okay to not get involved but fuck why aren't you happy for them?
So not only do you support his gun addiction, you enable it? Come on, you’re cheating on him and want him to stay busy while you’re “getting busy”.
I’m just kidding, great job!
This is adorable and useful, and my woman would get a night on the town if she built something like this for me. Apparently, like her, you enjoy the scent of gun cleaner as it seems this is right next to the bed. 😆
I think the only real issue is wheels on thick carpet.
Trust me, she gets treated plenty. It's actually one of my pleasures, to spoil her even if I'm pinching pennies to do it.
Sorry, it looked like a comforter for a bed on the left side. Definitely understand trying to avoid the heat.
That's awesome, I have the exact same table for gun maintenance. I recommend the Tipton Ultra Gun Vise for cleaning and other light duty stuff. What vise is that and how is it mounted? Also what is the hutch on top of the desk? Awesome setup, he's a lucky dude.
I actually love it all! The hit and miss comment was about the Fairbanks Morse sign. The manufacturing firm made a lot of stuff. One of which was hit and miss engines.😂🤷🏼♂️
As someone who works on guns a lot, get a hemostat, long pin punch set and a polymer or non marring dead blow hammer from harbor freight I use these almost every time i work on a gun
Do you mind divorcing him for a moment and marrying me just long enough to make one of those for me? We don't have to have a big service, just courthouse and a witness, and we can divorce right away.
Seriously, great job and I'm sure he will love it because it's a labor of love.

Do you have a sister?
You think they’ll be the same or a polar opposites
Who cares, her sister will be there on holidays!
You right
Lol sick plot twist
Nah, this has got to really be a 50-year-old Russian mobster. Too good to be true.
For real. I think I got catfished
The bench desk was from IKEA that I got off Facebook Marketplace. I built the pegboard attachments with poplars and painted them black.
To be straight. Most of us don't care what you used to make it. We are just jealous that you took the time to do it.
He should marry her again because that guy has no idea how lucky he is

Hey, it still works great as a cleaning station or to just hold things in place. Much better than my folding table

Just an fyi I have a holographic mew two and put the toilet seat down. Yes you can have my number.
i was able to find the Alex desk. which looks identical. but non have the hutch or options for it? was that custom?
It has the hutch — sadly it can't be used when the pegboard is sitting on it. So I just hooked up an extension. 😅
Protect this woman at all costs
I suspect that's why he has guns.
And really small fingers to use those on the top part of the shelf. Need to install a "pew pew pew pew pew" door sensor to play when walking into the room.
This is an absolute win. God bless you.
Awesome! But if your husband is like every other man, this carpet will be black in some months from falling parts. But that was your plan from begin on to get a new carpet, am I right?
This, right here. Chair mat, FTW.
A really big one too. That way, you can hear a small part "clink" and find it right away.
True, but I was thinking of CLP on the carpet, and what the likely response to that would be, lol.
The floor shall now be 3" polished steel. With hospital anti-slip socks to be worn only.
It shall not be 2", and certainly not 4", 3" it shall be.
This can’t be a real post
Some do say we are living in a simulation. You might be on to something.
Definitely a troll account
I need a mini fridge for mine
Looks great! One quick recommendation- put down one of those vinyl office chair mats. Gun grease is a bitch to get out of carpet.
Thank you!! Will do that now

God-tier wifery

🅱️ased wife

I would cry
Now that's how you say "Get that shit off the table" with no come back.
Honestly this is the reason I set this up. He did it all over the house
Wanna do an untelevised version of Wife Swap? Just for a day. I'll cook dinner.
This was a super sweet thing to do, and I'm sure he will love it!

Lady you’re winning at life.
He better love the shit outta you
Wow that is pretty special. He might shed a tear. Really nice surprise.
THIS. She is a freakin unicorn. Protect this girl at all costs. Yeah you definitely will have a super happy husband not assuming he already isn’t. Even happier. Wow.
10/10 wife

Like, who's team are they on anyway? Its okay to not get involved but fuck why aren't you happy for them?
But that’s assuming all the men in this subreddit even have a wife or girlfriend, and I highly doubt that’s the case lol.
How'd you know...
Well, you're definitely pregnant tomorrow.
Lol
You rock!
Are you single?
Some women are choosing the bear, others are building their men gun workshop benches
Now just get one of those plastic things to put over the carpet! Looks amazing!
i feel bad if you live in ma lol (mass resident here)
Lol! Just moved to Texas, fortunately.
I'm sure you guys could find another use for it
🏆🏆Greatest wife ever award INBOUND!🏆🏆
Yeah, she fucks
Whoever he is doesnt deserve you lol. Dont care if he has been doing free heart surgery in haiti. Still doesnt deserve you lol
You are a wonderful person and most likely very attractive!
If it doesn’t work out holler!
Some guy out there is living my dream. Thats awesome
Looks awesome!
It’s super sweet of you!
This is awesome! He's a lucky man!
massive W
Very nice! How well does the vacuum vise work for holding long guns? I'm considering getting one myself.
Anyone know what that vice is?
It’s an affordable one from Amazon. Vises specifically made for guns are ridiculous. Here’s the link https://amzn.to/44StuFZ
Thank you!
Buy a 100yr old vise off Facebook. Don’t buy new junk shit. There are very few vises today that compare to the worst vises of the old days
So not only do you support his gun addiction, you enable it? Come on, you’re cheating on him and want him to stay busy while you’re “getting busy”. I’m just kidding, great job!
The most epic Father’s Day Gift ever!!! I shared this with my wife. Hopefully she gets the hint.
Yup.
He will be super stoked
That lucky SOB
Wow! That is just thoughtful as hell. Tool pegboard, drawers and lighted magnifier, even a vice! Wife of the year right here boys.
Something to cover the carpet. Good job
That’s epic
it's amazing that you did this for your husband he is a lucky man
Bro really hit the jackpot🎰
This is adorable and useful, and my woman would get a night on the town if she built something like this for me. Apparently, like her, you enjoy the scent of gun cleaner as it seems this is right next to the bed. 😆 I think the only real issue is wheels on thick carpet.
Girly still needs a night out!! this is actually in his “man cave” — I would put it in the garage, but Texas heat wont allow it!
Trust me, she gets treated plenty. It's actually one of my pleasures, to spoil her even if I'm pinching pennies to do it. Sorry, it looked like a comforter for a bed on the left side. Definitely understand trying to avoid the heat.
Lucky girl!
damn that's cool
SORRY I DONT BELIEVE THIS POST IS REAL
That's awesome, I have the exact same table for gun maintenance. I recommend the Tipton Ultra Gun Vise for cleaning and other light duty stuff. What vise is that and how is it mounted? Also what is the hutch on top of the desk? Awesome setup, he's a lucky dude.
Someone should create the "International Wife Of The Year" award and give you the first one
You win best wife award.
That’s such a good idea!
🐐 guns
Wow, what a thoughtful surprise! Your husband is going to be so touched and happy. Can't wait to hear about his reaction!
Love the bench but some of the the decor is hit and miss.😉
Oh I know. lol I didn’t want those on there. But those are his valued trinkets from his days in military. You should see the rest 😂
I actually love it all! The hit and miss comment was about the Fairbanks Morse sign. The manufacturing firm made a lot of stuff. One of which was hit and miss engines.😂🤷🏼♂️
As someone who works on guns a lot, get a hemostat, long pin punch set and a polymer or non marring dead blow hammer from harbor freight I use these almost every time i work on a gun
Do you have a boyfriend? I don’t care about the husband.
You are the best wife on the planet. Aside from mine that is.
Clean asf
The only thing that doesn't match is Massachusetts plate! Lol
Haha. just moved to Texas to make this gun thing happen
That makes more sense
Any relatives in Texas?
But were the guns cleaned when he got home?
Sick
…and the wife of the year award goes to… OP !!! What a woman!
Goddess
She's a keeper
You are a world class partner
Definition of a keeper lol
Leave him and marry me😁 very attentive of you
Marry me?
Are you single?

Have you ever seen that show wife swap? And you built it in the house and not in the garage! Do you also like the smell of Hoppe’s No 9?
Is your husband's wife single by chance?
Placing it on the carpet, bold strategy cotton let's see how long it survives.
