The clever Workbench

- I have been using these stage pedestals as workbenches for years and I love them. Now I made two super useful modifications to them that makes them even better.
The hole grid is the same that Festool uses for their MFTs.
And making Adapters for the side railing allows me to attach accessories and clamp my workpiece vertical.
Super useful.

After doing a little bit of digging, these seem to be very similar to the Mott Stage Platform 2,0 x 1,0m ODSC (€559
/£476.67 new on the retailer website I found), if they aren't the actual one. I also stumbled across a similar looking model by a manufacturer named Diprofa, but the images I saw didn't resemble what Laura had quite as well as the Mott. Hope this helps people find ones for their use a bit quicker, depending on how much info a seller provides. Laura, I don't suppose you have specific model info you'd like to put in a pinned comment?
Mine are from the company Schnakenberg. But there are many other companies that make them. If you don‘t need them to be height adjustable you can also just get the Pedestal and cut the legs to your desired height. Those are even cheaper.
@@laurakampf Cool! Thank you :)
@@AvilerED @laura kämpf I was about to post this too. I've never seen this type in the US. I would love to have these personally and at our local Hackerspace. Thanks to you both for sharing.
@@laurakampf do you buy them from Ebay or something or directly from the manufacturer?

@Boris Crismancich Already done!
Good old Schnakenberg stage elements. :) I am a sound engineer & stage technician from Germany & share a hate love with these elements. Nice concept, but if you're building a stage with 100 of them, you're getting wasted, because they're really heavy. Great idea, I got a bunch of these old elements too & also decided to use one as workbench. I use the element with a motor & a lift, so i can use it also for working on bikes etc..
Using the clamps through the table + the magic arm for filming are both *such* awesome time-savers. Love it!
It's always enjoyable to watch someone take something and repurpose it, even down to milling the bolt for the bench dog and modifying the f-clamp, it shows a lot of ingenuity.
Absolutely love this workbench, I am a wheelchair user so the height adjustability really is something else! Now just hope my new home to be will have space for something this size, especially love the ability to add lighting and cameras, and I love the colour you chose too. Thanks so much, I know people who may be able to find one of these for me.
that magic arm holding the camera idea is so nice. you always want that camera angle above the middle of the table where a three leg tripod cant reach.
Yes-it works so well. Even having the magic arm on a tripod is a really cool solution for interesting angles and quick changes of perspective.
Genius! Prices of second hand stage elements has just skyrocketed! !
😀
Sehr gut! Very clever. Ein würdige Nachfolge von „Zugeschaut und mitgebaut“
Making one of those from scratch is also an option now that you've shown us exactly how they're built. I'm watching this while repairing plastic toys for my kids, I'm really missing my carpentry shed over winter...
Re-watching this and i still geek out the moment the lamp / bolt fit perfectly in the grid. 😶🤯
I love Smudo 🤩 such a funny dog , and his name suits him so well 🥰
This is genius! I love the combination of the blue legs, the beat up frame and the gorgeous top 💛 Looks amazing AND is practical.. awesome!
Thanks!!
You are simply a creative genius with an unmatched zeal for life. Ich liebe dich! ❤️
Adam Savage uses doctor's stools as shop stools, Laura uses staging elements for workbenches. I think once you reach a certain level as a maker you start seeing the potential in equipment outside of the standard range of what's found in a shop. Then it turns out that creative hunch leaves you with something that works better for less money than what's available on the market.

When you start looking at the problem you have rather than the solution to someone else’s problem, thing start to become clearer. 🛠👍💡
I am a home computer enthusiast. I use a dining table for my computer. I have a full surround sound system connected to it. The subwoofer sits on a little side table which sits on the dining table above my computer's monitor. It's stacked. :-)
All of you sound like people I would like to hang out with!
Adam also uses the carts that Stewardesses use to serve drinks
You are as adorable as your cool projects. Very inspiring! Thanks!
This is amazing. I love your channel. It's great to see makers who are women. And you're German! Meine Mama kommt aus Mainz.
slamming the like button for the cinematography alone, honestly! fantastic work!
That rail idea is very nice. Thanks 👍🏼
This is genius. The camera arm is perfect. The power strip.
You're always a Sunday morning highlight. Well done.
Frühstück mit Laura.... 👍👍👍👍
Very nice ideas ! Looks like I'm changing my work bench layout.
Awesome job love it. Please keep the dog in the videos love him
Clever, pragmatic and stylish!
Simply brilliant, Laura! Cologne is gonna be sold out of stage elements in 3...2...1...
My cat was absolutely mesmerized by this bench modification build video.
Neat idea! Pegboards are great!
Really appreciate your verbal/visual organization of all you videos. The information is top notch. Wishing you great continued success.
My new favourite DIY channel!! Everything from Köln is good, even water!! 😊
Absolutely insane how good these ideas are. Inspirational.
smudo's participations are always awesome
OUTSTANDING! There is nothing more satisfying than successfully modifying a workspace. Cheers, Laura - Thanks for sharing & Happy Sunday:)
A movable power strip!? Great idea! The bench modifications look perfect for your setup and are very inspiring. Another awesome video :) Also your pup looks adorable! Always a fun addition to your videos.
You are just... AMAZING !!!! Always enjoying your videos !!!! 😍
My god, a Black & Decker workmate on steroids! It's brilliant!
That is the most creative and functional desk I've ever seen! If I had to make any modifications to it I'd hammer metal inserts into the grid holes so they don't wear out with frequent use.
This was an interesting project. With a lot of folks you either love "shop organization" videos, or hate them. Me, I'm somewhere in the middle. What I really like about this though, is that it's repurposing an existing product, especially if it can be found used and considerably cheaper than buying something new. I'm not a woodworker so much as a fabricator working with all kinds of materials, so something simple and sturdy like this appeals to me. You really increased the utility of these benches amazingly by drilling the holes and adding the edge details. I don't have the space for something like this right now, but you can be sure this idea has been committed to a short list of "great shop ideas" and I'll be on the lookout for these sorts of "benches" in the future when I'm able to set up my own dedicated shop space.
What a creative build! Additionally, I'm building a cart for my MFT and your power strip solution is a perfect addition - thanks for the great idea.
You did a superb work bench. I have seen woodworkers use the uk parf drilling .You did not need this uk drilling guide save your self some money. Laura you make nice woodwork projects.
I like your use of Festool.
The doggy is cool AF!
Aaaaand subscribed. The production quality is incredible
I've been tinkering with making a height adjustable desk/project table. This could work quite well. Glad to have had this channel suggested for me.
Laura … that’s a gamechanger. Thank you!
Excellent way to repurpose something for your use. The height adjustments on those legs are such a great feature. Your videos are such a treat to watch...always look forward to notifications. 😎
Hallo Laura, super Idee. Ich habe mächtig über mich lachen müssen, dass mir die Idee nie selbst kam. Ich habe 5 Jahre Theater gemacht und ständig diese Teile durch die Gegend getragen. Aber die Verbindung Holzarbeit und Bühnenpodest. Danke für die Idee!
Love your videos! Not to mention your ideas.
Ich sehe diese Bühnenelemente an vielen, vielen Wochenenden, aber da bin ich noch nicht drauf gekommen. Die ersten zehn Sekunden im Video -> Facepalm. So einfach. So genial.
Ich werde diese Idee stehlen.
this is the greatest thing i've ever seen, and i must make one immediately. thank you so much for this Maximum Utility gift, it's such an elegant solution to so many every day challenges.
Nice. this has given me an idea. There is about 4' of space under my shop. Now Im thinking of using electric screw jacks to lift a bench from floor to working height. Thats a long travel though :D
Wauw, what a very nice workbench!! with that handy grid!
Wonderful!
No video is ever complete without the appearance of Smudo!
great working bench and good luck 👍🏽 I am Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 woodworking youtuber
That doggy is adorable.
I love your projects Laura. Thanks for this interesting video !!! I really liked the versatility of your table and I bought a used Rosco Nivoflex that I also use as a work table. The best workbench I have ever had. Great idea!!!!
Super nice, lovely way to share.
Well done Laura. Es ist immer wieder so schön zu sehen was du so zauberst!!!!
Man könnte auch sagen "The cleverLauraBench"
With all the random things I have attached to bench dogs, I never thought of putting a lamp or camera on one. I guess you just showed me the next couple of projects for my welding bench 😁👍
Lee Valley sells an insert to adapt a standard (Ikea) lamp to a 3/4" dog hole. I think they have a 20mm variant as well.
@@waltdphila awesome!
I'm obsessed with this concept! So practical!
Super Idee und ein tolles Ergebnis
I once saw old hospital beds used as workbenches. They can be height adjusted very easy also and, they have wheels so you can move them in your workshop if needed.
it's always fun to watch you work and modify things
This is amazing, we have a yearly play that involves a lot of construction, painting and mostly shoddy use of powertools for the set and we use the exact same stage platforms as workbenches for the construction part of the project (and they utlimately go back to be the stage). They are sturdy as hell and the best thing is that they are lent to us by for almost nothing.
Just came across this older video of yours. Awesome bench, love the additions especially the sliding power board.
Excelente!! Voy a tratar de hacerlo. Saludos desde Buenos Aires!
Yeah! So many cool things in one video! This rusty desk lamp looks amazing!
Superb craft and creativity. I’m in awe.
Excellent as usual.
Very creative. Its crazy how many times i had been amazed on they way she sees things and projects she does.
Beautiful project, as indeed all your creations. Thanks Laura, your dexterity and your inventiveness are spectacular. I always follow you. SL
Outstanding,builts ms Laura,thanks Jeep sharing it's inspired us,Joe& Bros suscribe from panamá.say hello.
Excellent use of recycled products. The only thing that I would add would be some sort of a mount for a bench vice on the corner. Maybe a project 2 for the bench. Mount a good vice Wilton or Cheap vice Harbor freight, on a platform that would lock onto you grid hole. The electrical power strip mount is a jewel.
Nice work ! You should use UJK Parf Guide System next time to ensure squareness of dog holes.
Sunday morning, just finished making my coffee and I get a notification about a Laura Kampf video. This is a good morning!
Also, awesome work bench! 👍
Excellente idée que celle de recycler cet établi. Celle qui consiste à utiliser les rails latéraux de cette façon est encore meilleure 👍
Toujours un plaisir de regarder tes vidéos 😉 Merci
You rock Laura!
Hey Laura, I love it, thanks.
Brilliant !! Allways enjoy your content. Presentation and camera work are top notch ! Thanks for sharing !
Spektacular idea Amazing camera work
Great job! Simple and practical, it deserves a blue thumb!!
Laura is happy.. and I'm jealous. Great job!
Good modification !
Nice upgrade for that stage pedestal !
I have been wanting to build a table that is adjustable in height so we can serve as a coffee table as well as a dining room table and a gaming table. This would be absolutely perfect! Thank you so much for sharing.
Good job dear!!! 👏👏👏
Klever gelöst - Glückwunsch 🤝🌷🌷
Love the magic arm for the camera. Really nice! Of course the clamps too.
I've been looking for a new workbench for a while and was going to make one out of Aluminium extrusions and plywood. I might now try to source one of these stage sections locally to me. Thanks for the idea/suggestion.
Nice video and music choice
So many good ideas in this video! I love the lamp and camera mounts.
This is what makes your channel so amazing Laura - really clever use of materials and ways of solving the problems you encounter! thank you!
Thank you :)
You are a genius. That is so practical! Great video as well.
Super coole Idee. Muss ich haben. Wenn das Teil noch rollbar wäre, das wäre mega.
Love the Idea, good for top video shots!!!
You rock Laura! Your content only keeps getting better and better. This project is awesome, im gonna try to find a second hand stage piece as well!
I am soooo happy for you Laura! You are so clever!!!
One of best videos I've seen in years time. Very insitefull.
Great video and adaptation of abandoned hardware from event staging. Making call to get a couple of these right now. 👍🏼
Price of stage elements since now: 100€
Price of stage elements since Laura‘s great video: a Zero more :)
