    I’m 13 and I really like woodwork, but I can only do it in school as I don’t have anywhere to do it at home, but I do have a shed, so this is what I will be building

  • @jdanielbenham1
    @jdanielbenham1 3 роки тому +1

    Hinging concept is cool. A few things.
    - a door is not a good table. If you got the door for that cheap, it’s hollow core and will not support any weight on the skin of the door. If it is solid core, it’s still not a good table. The skin will get ripped up and you will start to expose the glued together, rough chip wood core.
    - Those table legs are not going to be sturdy. I’m planning on building a collapsible table soon and I plan to have 3 pull out supports that will be hinged up against the wall behind the table and swing out to support the table. Haven’t plotted out “locking” them in place yet though.

    • @ProfessorDIY
      @ProfessorDIY  3 роки тому

      thank you for the comments. It is hollow and have used it for many years without any issues, I have put 300 pounds on it with no issues, the legs are extremely sturdy, It is a workbench and has performed very well since day one, it has wear and tear but any workbench would.

    Can you pls tell me the size of the "large" hinge? I'm guessing 72" long, but I don't know the width. Thx!

    • @ProfessorDIY
      @ProfessorDIY  6 років тому +1

      It is a standard piano hinge, I never measured the width but I believe they are all the same width. Thank you for watching :)

    • @4funrc11
      @4funrc11 6 років тому

      Hey! Thx. There are different width piano hinges. For example, 1-1/2" width and 1-1/16" width. Anyways, I've found a low-cost 72" x 1-1/16" piano hinge, and I wanted to verify it would work before I ordered it. Thx again.
