Man the military style overbuilding of this would probably make it harder to disassemble than it was to actually build it. This thing would survive a direct impact bomb blast. And I gotta say, as everyone else has, love the fact that you have your daughters and son and extended family helping you. That's the most awesome part. Also, I love the cubby storage for smaller items to keep them off of the surface of the table, nothing gets lost, broken or damages what is being assembled.
James. These vids say alot about you and your family. My kids didn't want to even acknowledge we were alive when they were that age let alone spend that much time in the shop with us. Just awesome!
Another great Video James and family. This table is a BEAST. I wish I had a dedicated shop instead of moving everything in my garage so we can still park my wife's car in it. The amount of detail you put into your builds is fabulous and your daughter's do excellent work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I really want to build a torsion box assembly table when I get a new shop. This is a great design. And... don't apologize for that "blatant" advertisement. We know it takes time (money) to make these videos. We all gotta eat. I'm glad to know how you support yourself. It's also good that you kept it short. I don't mind the ad.
Wow. I need more children to build the full sized torsion box! You are a blessed man. I can’t wait for part 3. Excellent idea on the epoxy fillets. No screws in the top panel to the frame, but they will never shift. Genius!
I have watched many of your videos, and I will say that of all of the woodworkers on UA-cam, you are my favorite. Your camera work, attention to detail, and explanations are simply outstanding. You also do a fantastic job of anticipating the most common questions viewers will have during your assemblies. Best wishes to you and to your family; you all seem like lovely people. And, I can only hope that my own children will want to spend time in the shop when they are older.
This is a class act all the way from the craftsmanship to the family/team effort. James you are a breath of fresh air to the woodworking community and UA-cam. Excellent!
I am pleased that you are sharing your creativity with us. I am even more impressed with your fondness and active efforts to spend time with your daughters and share that creative impulse with them. What a gift! I hope what you give to us and them will come back to you as blessings many times over. TFW
I recently discovered your channel and the more I watch your videos the more I appreciate the depth, skill, and education that you provide. I also enjoy who you involve the whole family in your operation. Keep up the great work! I plan to continue to follow your content.
Wow!!!! The workbench/outfeed/or whatever else you want it to be, Delivers all of that and more. Great job James. I already purchased the plans for the 6' version. I think you were right when you said the weight is because of all the glue. LOL, I am still wishing I lived next door to you so I could be an intern to your basics to master class. You rock! Thanks for all of your great, and on point content and for sharing it with the world.
I think the other woodworking UA-camrs are going to have a hard time competing with your level of detail and commentary 👍 I love it! Awesome job James and Family. Wish I could get my daughter off Netflix and into the shop with me.
James - I love your videos, the care you take in the explanation, and your daughters' involvement and expertise is truly endearing to this father of three girls!
Yes! Someone who is not just saying "I'm making a torsion box because it's a really flat reference surface" and then randomly glues&nails two skins on some studwork! Just the right amount of levelling time. Good idea to (hot?)glue the sawhorses to the floor to keep the reference location during the build.
Dare me huh? Look up Estlea's Roubo, or Cremona's Roubo..Creeves bench, Farrington's workbench...All are better and use 17 gallons LESS glue than this bench. The visible dried squeeze out inside the torsion box holes turned me off to the entire build quite honestly...Good joints do not require this much glue..Sorry for the brutal honesty, but it's true.
@@jc51373 negative replies are still opinions,,, just sayin,,,this is a small family operation,,it is by far superior to most any shop and benches,, organization and effort is all Positive in Nature,,
A really spectacular bench! Great job, James and family!! Love all your videos and thanks for all the effort you and your family put into this channel and to the online woodworking community. Glad you're sticking with the longer form videos, rather than the quickies under 10 min. Your videos are chalked full of helpful information -- well worth the time :) Looking forward to seeing Part 3 in this series!
I've now watched a few vidoes. Excellent craftsmanship. Finally, in this video the family dog makes an appearance. Seems most diy folks have a dog. I like to see the family working together. Those girls love their dad. Photobomber, untied sneakers, covered in saw dust at one time a spiderman T shirt but under no circumstances forget the ear rings. Thanks a bunch, I always learn something.
Looking like a great work-bench/assembly table. So wish I had the money and space for such an awesome bench. Great job giving credit to you team members. See you on the next one.
Omg...! and wow,wow,wow.. I literally can't believe what I just watched.My goodness James you have some serious talent my brother.That box is insane..! Thank you for sharing and what..? No glue on the draw bottoms.Big mistake.. lol
Great video as usual James and family. Your detail is outstanding and easy to follow. I wish I had some space in my shop for one of these but if I built one now I wouldn’t have any open space. Perhaps sometime in the future or even after I finish my current shop reorganization project I’ll have room for the small version.
Plywood is called "compensato" in Italian, because the wood compensates for movement by having the grain in successive layers placed at right angles to that on each side. This means that any expansion or contraction in one direction is stopped (or compensated for) by the adjacent layers.
I Love this build. The FAA needs to take notes, you can land a 747 on that thing. In addition I have done some math and have figured the numbers to help you (plus or minus 2%) Total weight in wood used so far is about 450 pounds Total weight in glue used is about 900 pounds.
Hi Shaun. That is not Andy's vise. But I am building a traditional Roubo woodworking bench very soon and Andy's vise will be the featured element on the bench.
I missed you guys so much, I'm gonna watch this twice. I love it! don't have nearly the space for it, but one day if I do I'll know where I can get a set of plan.
Damn, you make it look so easy. Even if it was if fact easy, I couldn't do it because I don't have $1000 worth of clamps. Seriously though, this makes me want to find some place that gives lessons in woodworking. I have some tools in a single car garage and I pretty much don't know how to use them. Funny side note...I also have a crap load of Baltic Burch in my garage.
just a heads up. if you learn to keep some plastic straws handy (Californication Disclaimer) they work great to remove the inside edges and you can ad that glue back to the bottle.
Wow! untill you explained why you were reinforcing the table the way you were i was so very confused as to why a assembly table would need to be so reinforced to park a truck on it ! LOL i’ve used a lot of West Epoxy myself as a retired Woodworker and a Wooden boat owner The West System has been a part of my life for years although i’m thinking about switching to Total Boats System mainly for cost savings inthe future inthe future as many people i know have and like the performance of it well
Enjoyed the video. Been watching your woodworker series also. As a role model, which you are, I wish you would use dust masks in your videos. Fingers wrapped around a 2 x4 being pushed through a jointer would violate any shop safety rules. Safety and health are keys to being a great woodworker.
🤣🤣🤣 I'm listening to this as I'm working in the shop and heard him say he's going to use "scrap" wood... then he cuts up a 2x4 that in 2020 costs more than my truck! 😂😂😂
Hola como están? saludos desde Ecuador, les felicito su trabajo es muy bueno y ejemplar en trabajar en equipo, estoy aprendiendo mucho con ustedes sobre carpintería.
Funny you say that, as a newbie woodworker, I have a 30' x30' garage with an air compressor and bandsaw in it, that I'm converting into my wood shop and I would have never known where to start with this!! Haha!
I see it's been a couple years and a half. Curious what happened to the base or to the torsion box when the two were screwed together. If this was tooling, the flat table would be "bedded" to the base, so that the structure of the base does not impart undesirable forces on the torsion box. Amazing work btw. pleasurable video to watch.
I'm glad to have found your page. Your videos are great and I love that your family is involved. One thing I don't see on your project list is what drawer slides you used. Is that on the project plans? Thanks and keep up the great work!
If you don't have enough room around your table saw to cut those half laps… a router with a couple clamps, a couple straight edges, and a whitesides 1072 bit gets it done no problem
Just like you outlined the grid on the top piece to know where to lay down the glue, you could do that same for the bottom piece to know where to screw it in.
A very enjoyable way to spend a Sunday evening (Australia). A way out left field question... Your girls wear there watches on the Right wrist which is typically left handed ( I am). but they are not Left handed.. What makes them wear the watch on the Right Wrist???
That is a very good question. My wife and I have asked them that same question many times in the past. But they don't have an answer, they seem to just like it that way. Perhaps they are just crazy. Haha (now they are going to read this and I am going to be in trouble)
Thank you much for the quick reply, James. My saw has a table height of 34 inches, so was wondering what the best workaround would be so I could use the table as an outfeed table in addition to an assembly table. I've been considering building a multi function table for a while, kicking around ideas in my head, but with your design I believe you have "nailed it" and wish to follow your concepts. You certainly designed a winner!!
Hi, That’s an easy fix. Just drop 1-1/2” off the leg assemblies. Or shrink the grid inside the Torsion box from 4-1/2” wide to 3” wide. Or change caster size. We’ve built in a lot of options for height adjustment.
Dear James, I'm new to your channel and a huge fan already. You are blessed for you have a wonderful family! I do wonder though, what is the difference between this torsion table and the work bench you made later? Are they used for different purposes? Thanks
Hi Joey. There is a rumor that if you start a UA-cam channel and always use way more glue than you are supposed to, the gods at Titebond will look favorably upon you and bless you with a drum.
@@KingsFineWoodworking i think you spent more on glue than most of us would spend on the whole workbench! my head hurts watching the monumental attention to detail on this.
Very nice build! I have a question regarding the top and tracks... does routing the grooves in the top weaken the torsion box? Would there be any advantage to doubling the top surface so that your track grooves didn't go through over half of the top material?
Man the military style overbuilding of this would probably make it harder to disassemble than it was to actually build it. This thing would survive a direct impact bomb blast.

Dare me huh? Look up Estlea's Roubo, or Cremona's Roubo..Creeves bench, Farrington's workbench...All are better and use 17 gallons LESS glue than this bench.

I would imagine that anyone that has a workshop large enough to use that table, also has the expertise to build one without a youtube video.

Doesn't the sanding defeat the whole prupose? I mean by sanding the top of grid you make it (minimally) uneven, no?
seems like over kill to me. however to each there own. good job to your whole family.
When is part 3 coming?! This is better than Avengers! lol I can't wait to see the rest
Haha. Thank you! Maybe I'll put an extra scene after the end credits.
James you are a lucky man to have such great helpers. Do you rent them out for woodworking projects? Really like the way it was filmed also.

Great video series !!! Would like to know the height of the outfeed table?
Outstanding bench, look forward to the next installment. Did you consider a 4' paper dispenser on one end for covering the top while doing glue ups?
I actually have one. I just haven't mounted it yet.
If your plans are followed, what would the finished height of the table be? Great project! Thanks for developing it.
The height would be 35-1/2", the same height as my table saw.
Thank you much for the quick reply, James.

Or shrink the grid inside the Torsion box from 4-1/2” wide to 3” wide.
Or change caster size.
We’ve built in a lot of options for height adjustment.

I do wonder though, what is the difference between this torsion table and the work bench you made later? Are they used for different purposes?
Thanks
This guy must own the glue factory.
I love your projects but most need a army to put it together. Not to mention the amount of clamps you own is 20 time more then I own.
Interesting. So James, y’all gonna come help me when I get ready to build mine? LOL
Haha, of course!
Awesome build. Is there any risk of the torsion box warping out of flat while being screwed down to the base?
No. All the interior bonding is cured long before that goes on. But we checked flatness at every stage just the same.
Anyone know where I can get 55gal drums of titebond III? Asking for a friend...
LOL
Hi Joey. There is a rumor that if you start a UA-cam channel and always use way more glue than you are supposed to, the gods at Titebond will look favorably upon you and bless you with a drum.
King's Fine Woodworking that may be true. I'll have to check on that once I get my shop done.
Oh lol..... :D
@@KingsFineWoodworking i think you spent more on glue than most of us would spend on the whole workbench! my head hurts watching the monumental attention to detail on this.
Very nice build! I have a question regarding the top and tracks... does routing the grooves in the top weaken the torsion box? Would there be any advantage to doubling the top surface so that your track grooves didn't go through over half of the top material?
What dado stack are you using?
Looks bigger than the normal 8" stack.
Didn't see in description
WOW! Awesome
Thank you, Phil!
Instead of plywood could you use mdf for the top part? If so can you still put the tracks in like you have done.
