Build a Work Bench / Assembly Table with T-Track
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- This assembly table is built to keep everything I used most often close at hand while building and finishing! It has a "rough" side where I keep common tools, screws, clamps, joinery aids, etc.. the "finish" side carries finishes, brushes, cloths, stand offs, paint sprayers, etc. And each end holds a lot of clamps or the power tools I constantly use, my drill, driver, and brad nailer!

I bought this for my friend for his birthday as we just moved into a new house and he finally has room for a workshop. The bench was very easy to set up ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh They center support is a little difficult to snap in and out of place at first but at least then we know the bench is secure. It was a pleasant surprise when we saw it came with clamps. I apparently missed that in the description. My friend loves the versatility of the bench. Great starter bench for his workshop and easily transportable all over our property. I wish the bench was a little taller but the other features of the bench more than make up for that.
Great!
I think I've watched about fifty workbench build videos over the last couple of weeks, and this one is by far my favorite. Love your use of built in storage, the t-tracks, and nice finishing touches without making a monster of a workbench. I'll be buying a set of these plans; thanks!
Thanks! My preorder has lasted a lot longer than intended. Should be out by the end of the week though!
No worries! Just pre-ordered them, so I'm willing to wait! Thanks for the follow up.
Love how u said made in America. Im Canadian and always buy Canadian followed by USA when possible. We should support our own or our cousins to the south.
Agreed! Sometimes it's just not affordable, but when possible it's nice.
Nicely done! I’ve had a horrible outfeed table for 17 years now. I really need to fix it. Thanks for making me feel bad about mine :) Richard at 42fab is a great guy!
Hahaha anytime man! An outfeed table is high on my list.
Beautifully made and well thought out, over here (in the UK) we would refer to that as "The Dogs danglies" which is high praise indeed.
Thanks! And thanks for explaining that phrasing, I’d have never guessed that was praise 😁
@@YouCanMakeThisToo very welcome ' me old china' ( china plate= mate)
I watched this with my 12 year old shop partner and he really was impressed. It's a nice build. I like it a lot. You always have some great ideas that I will absolutely borrow (steal).
Thanks! Imitation is the highest form of flattery, haha. Glad you like it and got some ideas!
This bench is amazing, i bought your plan, will translate it to metric and give it a try for my small shop
Hope it suits you well!
Love it. Got some great ideas from watching.
Awesome! Thank you!
I really appreciate the torsion box bottom. I'm all about the structure.
Gotta Have a solid foundation
this table is sweet. Cant wait to build it.
Thanks, have fun!
I have watched far to many videos on workshop work benches and this is by far my favourite, but I just don't think I have the skill level to make it. Fantastic bench.
Thanks! It’s just plywood and pocket holes though. Take your time and go one step at a time and it’s very approachable. I even have plans available for it so you don’t have to work out dimensions.
Awesome table - functional, great for maximizing your workspace and rather sharp looking to top it all off! And the Victory in the background was rather awesome too! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Unfortunately the Victory isn’t around anymore.. look forward to when I have space for a bike again!
Each time I consider a DIY project it turns out more expensive than ready to use, mass products. I bet this one is not an exception.
Yes and no. If you have to buy tools for every project, that raises cost.. but you have to spread that cost among every project it can do - not the one where you bought it for. There’s also the quality consideration. I could find used cabinets and a door for free on the side of the road, or buy ready made that’s stamped steel or chip board that won’t survive a move. But that’s like comparing a pocket knife to a chefs knife. There’s also that this is exactly what I wanted, and nobody makes it. So I can make it far cheaper than hiring a custom shop to make it for me - because that’s the only way to buy it. If you try to DIY exactly why you can buy, and you’re fine with one time use quality, then you’re right - it doesn’t make sense to DIY. But if you want something that has the potential to last your lifetime, and be what you want that can’t be found on a shelf - then it’s huge savings compared to custom work with quality material.
I like this table a lot Caleb, very nice
Thanks, Danny! It’s served me well
Thanks you confirmed my fears with building an assembly table with holes in the top. I kind of thought that they would allow way too much Saw dust and wood chips to pass through and make a mess out of everything.
They sure do
How awesome is this!! I’m redoing mine now that I’ve gotten inspiration from you brother!!
Haha, thanks, Chris! Glad you like it brother.
YouCanMakeThisToo very much so!
This is great! I'm up for making one. The only thing that disappointed me was no drawer slides.
I’m pretty sure I used drawer slides in this. Unless you meant you don’t want to, that’s an easy change.
Awesome T-Track table build! I'm seriously considering this for my table.
I love it man.
I’m really impressed by how much storage you were able to get on your bench! Everything you need is right at hand! Subbed and liked, and considering becoming a patron!
Thanks! I actually filmed a video today talking about changing some things for patreon, it’ll be out next week. Definitely interested in any feedback you have on that!
This is the type of table I would have if I had a shop nice work!
Thanks!
Nice job and execution. One of the more thought out designs I have seen.
Great build Caleb! Very informative. I never trust the home center to cut my sheets either. They cut first, measure second.
Thanks, Luke! So true. I used to let them do it and planned for about an inch of fluff and to recut their lines to size.. but then I had them be off by 1/2” and another guy run the saw backwards.. it just got bad.
YouCanMakeThisToo running a saw backwards......what could go wrong. LMAO!
Yeah.. good thing they don’t let professional customers use their equipment. 🙄
Hands down the best assembly/workbench I"ve ever seen! Outstanding work, my friend! You've definitely given me some ideas. :)
Thank you! That’s very kind, and quite the compliment coming from you! Hope to see you put those ideas to use!
Great build! Looks great and super functional. I have the same issue of workbench just getting cluttered. I love all the little drawers to place things as you use them.
Thanks! I've done a few little projects on it and I'm really liking it. The only problem is forgetting all my tools have moved to it and needlessly walking to where they used to be, haha.
Melhor Bancada de trabalho que já postaram. Parabéns!
👍👍👍
She's a beast! That came out awesome Caleb.
Thanks, Jonny! I’m really glad to have this done and in the shop.
Beautiful bench my friend! I hope to copy something similar.
Thank you and happy building!
Hi. I've watched tonnes of work bench videos that are as good as this but I have to say I loved the narrow vertical pullout drawer for the power tools. Genius idea. T track was cool to.
First video of yours I seen. Great job.
I'm subscribing now.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks! I took inspiration from Paul Jackman for the drawers. Glad it was insightful for you. Thanks for subbing!
Great table! Love the walnut. Good choice. Also like the use of the camera slider 😎
Thanks!
Looks awesome, Caleb! I need to make a scaled down version of an out feed/assembly. Thanks for the inspiration. I can guarantee my table will be super crude and nothing close to what you did. There are so many shop projects I want to knock out.
Thanks! I’m sure it’ll be awesome! This is the first I’d like four critical shop projects that have been on my list for over a year, haha.
Great video sweetie! The workbench turned out really nice...I like the added walnut to class it up even more. Very functional. And I see you had some good company there for a bit :).
Thanks! I sure did, some pretty epic video bombing.
Very nice
Thanks
Love the shirt at 4:46. Really cool build, Caleb! I love how compact all of those clamps are...I need to do that. The walnut is a nice touch...treat yo self! ha ha
Trying to represent! Haha, I can always trust you to pick up my jokes and corny references
I've only watched 2 of your videos and I'm hooked. You have excellent presentation skills! Subbed 👍
Thank you! I super appreciate that. Glad you’re enjoying it.
Looks so good!
Thanks, Sarah!
I also just finished installing t track in the top of my assembly table. I bought one intersection to use as a pattern and made the rest myself. Those intersections are just soooooo overpriced. Your bench looks great.
They are pretty pricey, glad you had luck making your own! Fortunately aluminum is easy to work with.
Awesome workbench!
Thanks!
Nice truck
Thanks man
@@YouCanMakeThisToo Nice assembly table too.
Awesome build man
Thanks brother!
Thanks
Awesome job Caleb! I really like the design and the drawer layout! Keep it up!
Thanks! I haven't done any big projects on it yet, but so far I'm really enjoying it!
Great video, great attitude, and great build man
Thank you! That’s very kind.
Awesome build man, Mike Farmington does a router table out of MDF and coats it with shlac to strengthen the MDF. Check it out.
Thanks for the tip, that dude is awesome
Impresionante!!! Una pena que no este subtitulado al español. Saludos desde Rep. Argentina!!!
Looks great, bro.
Thanks man!
Great video and awesome design and build! Looks great!
Thanks!
Excellent work my friend! I also really liked your miter station build. Just getting into woodworking and getting lots of great ideas from guys like you! I happened to also go to school with you wife haha. Hope y'all are doing well!
Thanks, Adam! Hit me up if you ever have any questions. And Callee says hi!
Looks good man!
Thanks brother!
Great work Kaleb, that thing looks killer. keep up the great video edits
Thanks, Patrick! I’m starting to have a lot of fun with the edits. Even if they take forever.
Beautiful
Thanks Renee!
Man!!! Awesome!!!
Thank you!
Great video, sweet table. Keep it up
Thanks man! I will.
great video . (putting a seal coat and finish on top before tracts, though, would be big time saver and tracks would not be 'glued ' I place . otherwise 👍👍)
The dados were a snug fit though, and I’d still have to tape them off or clean out the finish so the track would fit. To me it seemed easier to tape the track and then finish, the tracks aren’t glued in place at all.
Had not thought of finish buildup. (I use two medium coats of shellac for a 100% seal (no thickness ) and top off with medium spray of lacquer for hard durability (no roll over). But varnish or urethane finishing (as most use) would impede an already snug insert placement.
Thanks again for great ideas .
@@hj8607 Anytime! If I did your finishing technique, I would've finished first as well. I just went with wipe on poly for simplicity though (and had some on hand). Many ways to skin a cat!
I may have missed it some where, what are the rough dimensions? Trying to visualize in my garage shop and its height etc compared to the smaller saw bench/router table I have now.
It's about 3'x4' and 35" tall
Had to lol @7:13 when you said “Mitre Swation”! LOL
Lol words are hard
Nice work
Thanks!
Beautiful work! Thanks for making this video. I am building one now, and I am a little stumped as to how many intersections are really necessary. Have you discovered anything relating to this ? Thanks
For the t track? Depend on how many tracks you want. You could skip the intersections to save money and leave them empty. Gives a spot to drop the accessories into the track
thank you
You’re welcome
Great job, thanks for that.
You’re welcome. Thanks for the kind comment.
D'aww, thanks man, I'm just a fan, gonna try to build some of your projects one day
I still super appreciate it!
Awesome build brother, I like it. I'm having the issue you describe with clutter, I'm think something like this.
It seriously helped my clutter a lot.
New subscriber 💪😎 Ridgid fan here too
Thanks! Ridgid rocks
Really love. Looks like it solves all kinds of problems. What would it take to line it up with my vintage Craftsman contractor saw?
Thanks! I've had it close to a year now and it's been awesome. It just depends on the height of your saw. You could tweak the bench to match the saw, or if the saw it shorter, might be easier to just raise the saw up to its level.
Well done sir! Prob one of my favorite designs I’ve seen on UA-cam! Have plans?
Thanks! Yep. Links in the description.
I dig it.
Thanks, me too!
nice working
Thanks!
Really Good!
Thanks!
Wow amazing 👏👏😍

Late to the party, and not sure how I missed this video when it came out. Awesome build with 1/2" ply which is surely lighter and cheaper than the 3/4 option. How is it holding up? I was curious about the torsion box base which seems thin (smaller width ribs compared to most) and if it has sagged over time.
Thanks! So I’ve had two downsides. First is it will twist and keep drawers from opening IF I don’t use the feet to keep it level. If I level it off, everything is fine. Second is the lifting caster has pulled out of the corner that I had to just screw into. Should’ve bolted it. Screws just don’t hold in 1/2” that take a lot of pulling force.
@@YouCanMakeThisToo thanks for the response.
One more question. It seems as though the intersection can be used to drop in the tools. If so, is it necessary to extend the t track all the way through the trim on the sides of the bench? Appreciate your help.
You can't drop tools into the intersections so the end cut outs are needed.
Really like it. Looks very nice. Purchased the plans. Can you tell us the rough dimensions?
Thanks! It’s 3x4 by 32” tall.
If u did this over again, would u still use ply on top or melamine?
Probably keep the ply
I want ONE
Build it!
I just built a table like this. Do you happen to have any tricks to keeping the caster levers in the down position so I can just step on them? They are always in the upper position and I have to lift the whole table while pressing down.
классный байк!
👍👍
Hola buenas tardes ... Quisiera saber el nombre de los soportes que uso al final del vídeo cuando coloco las maderas una sobre otra ...muchas gracias exelente trabajo...
Thanks! I used Rockler clamps, there are link in the description for everything I used at the end in the track. Hope that helps
thank you friend, I was referring to the round ones that look like a pac of hokey very grateful for taking some time to answer me ... hugs
@@elaprendizspockygarcia7962 Ah okay, those are Rockler Bench Cookies! Amazon carries them.
@@YouCanMakeThisToo thank's master happy weekend god bless hoy...
Sehr schönes Video und natürlich eine ganz klasse Werkbank die Du Dir gebaut hast. Mich würde mal interessieren wie zufrieden Du mit deinem Werkzeug von Ridgid bist? Ich nutze Bosch Werkzeug und bin zufrieden. Leider gibt es Ridgid nicht hier in D.
Thank you. I have some Bosch tools and like them a lot, but I prefer Ridgid. But I think Ridgid is only available in America. I like Ridgid because of the warranty, also I sold Ridgid tools when I was college and worked at Home Depot, so I came to like them early.
👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯
👍👍👍
i notice your tablesaw has no guard and no splitter no anti kickback... do you have any problems with it? I have a Craftsman 100 with 4 cast iron extensions but everyone tells me its not safe because like your saw it does not have any safety features. What do you think?
It’s not ideal, and there are aftermarket splitters you can use. I’ve had some kickback, always my fault... but that’s the problem, humans are faulty and fault aside, the danger at a table saw is super high. But so far, I’ve found being safety conscious has kept me safe for now, though I do plan on getting a saw stop when I’m able. Risk and safety are personal choices, I will say if you’re not super familiar with how and why things go bad on a table saw, get very smart - because the only safety feature is between your ears. That would be my only warning, more safet features are better because people make mistakes. But if you don’t understand kickback, and aren’t going to learn, then a rudimentary saw is a tragedy waiting to happen.
👍
👍👍
new sub! great bench!!! how many sheets of ply did this bad boy take?
Thanks! It was about 4.5
I’m late to the party. But thank you for the video. Do you have rough cost of this build ?
About $200 for lumber. If you use drawer slides, the t track, casters, etc.. about $400.
Hi, most of the tee tracks that I have seen are almost 1/2" deep, as you used 1/2" plywood how did you attach the tee trake?
For the top I used 3/4” and the track is 3/8” deep. I used #8 1/2” screws and the tips just barely poked through the bottom.
Hi. Great video and build. Will you be selling plans for this. I would like to build one. Thanks
I will! I forgot to put the plan link in the description, it's there now. They're on pre-order for 25% discount right now.
Hello, I just watched this build video. I have question about the shims used on that bottom drawer @ 4:21. Will this shimming method help when your drawer is slightly out of square?
It could, but you would have to shim between the drawer and the slide. The slides must be parallel to each other. My problem was the case was slightly out of square, but my drawers were square.
Before I buy the plan can you tell me how many sheets of plywood this took ?
What kind of wax did you apply to the top?
Paste wax
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
👍👍
Bel video
👍
Great video, what's the glue you used to place the drawer fronts?
Just CA glue and activator. That was just to hold them until I could add screws from inside.
Caleb..great bench! I do not see on here where I can order the plans. Where is the link you mentioned?
If you’re on a computer hit the see more button in the description, on your phone hit the down arrow beside the title that’s under the video.
YouCanMakeThisToo Done. Looking forward to this project. Thanks
Thanks! Be sure to email me some pics when you’re done. Would love to see it.
What's the length and width of the top?
3x4'
