Building A New Workbench / Assembly Table For The Workshop!
Вставка

- Welcome back to another installment of The Workbench . In this episode I talk about the workbench / assembly table I built for the workshop a few months ago.
I sort of stalled out on this video because I was not happy with some of the shots, as well as the overall length. I shot this video over the course of two weeks, and had about 25-hours of footage, and the end result was just too long. So I speed things up, and loosely emulated Jimmy Diresta's "Diresta's Cut" style of videos to keep the length down. View Jimmy's videos here: bit.ly/19B622s
As I mentioned in the video, I made a mistake when choosing to inset the top surface into the 2x4 top rails, as this will make changing the hardboard top all but impossible. I will rebuild this table when that time comes, and just use a double layer of 3/4" plywood next time.
Thanks for watching, and remember that we still have a giveaway of the Filterpal HD wet / dry vacuum pre-filter going on. Head over to that video at the link below to find out how to win one for yourself.

Appreciate your honesty
Thank you!
Thanks for your honesty. Makes me feel better about my mistakes.
Appreciate the honest thought process. I just built a garage workbench/shelf and I ran into areas where I would of done it differently. now I can’t wait for it to fall apart so I can redo it hahaha.
I love what you have done in here in explaining the whole process. I am not comfortable enough to talk so much so my hat is off to you. All wood construction sheet products (plywood, OSB, insulation sheets) are always exactly 4' x 8' but fabrication sheet goods people use for making other things like counters, cabinets and remodeling projects (MDF, Hardboard, Certain acrylic sheets) are always trimmed just over 4' x 8' even though that is what they are called on the sticker in the rack at HD or Lowes. I still don't know why they are cut slightly oversize but I have found this to at local lumber stores, wood supplies, hardware stores and the like.
Awesome assembly table though, I built mine very similar back in 2015 and you made me feel like I should do a video about it like yours! thanks for the story!
Hey Charles! I'm still researching work benches, so by you showing what you went through really helps. Thanks for including those pitfalls. This is how we learn. SUBSCRIBED!
Works by Solo thanks!
+Works by Solo thanks Bernie!
Thanks for the honesty. Extremely helpful
Lmao...thinking back, I probably should have just bought a table..lol
checkout the Woodsmith Shops Douglas fir workbench. I make most of my assembly and carts using this technique, and they are solid as a rock. They will not rack, they are always square, and I use 1/4" MDF as a top layer to two sheets of plywood. I put four screws in the corners of the 1/4 MDF. When it gets cut up, banged up, and tore up; it costs me like $15 and four #8 1-1/4" screws to replace with new top. Actually I reuse the screws.
i used a piece of hardboard on the top of my assembly table, too. i screwed it down, but i didn't use any glue so i could change it if necessary......which i need to do, lol. it's getting a bit rough after a few years of some hard work on it. but i can understand your frustration on that aspect. i've glued things before and then realized later that i might need to take it apart.
My OCD made me super plan out my workbench and assembly table, and because of the poor stock from Home Depot or even Lowes, the best laid plans always falls apart due to the warped nature of the stock. But in the end, my workbench and assembly table (which triples as my table saw storage and outfeed table) was good enough because putting too much thought into it and then when it gets trashed, I get a bit annoyed at it. I liked your video very much as I've gone through pretty much everything you went through with things not being square despite how hard I tried to get it square. Thanks for the video.
+Edmund Woo thanks for sharing your experience!
At 3:53 you made a statement that will define your work forever if you don`t change your attitude . If a project is worth doin it is worth putting your best into it .
Thanks for the comment, but I pick and choose my battles. That cheap assembly table served its purpose and made me a lot of $$$$. It's being replaced this spring with something a little better. Sometimes when you need to get stuff done, you have to chose what you put the effort into. A $200 2x4 and OSB assembly table is something you beat on and burn when it's usefulness is up.
@@Themakersworkbench Not interested in battle (pissing contest) just a fact if it is worth doing it is worth putting your best effort into.
@@johnwinn4213 I think you mistook my tone with the last comment. I'm not battling, I just know when and where to exert my effort. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for the engagement in the algorithm! I hope you check out some of my other videos!
Very helpful....the thing I liked was that he’s on the same level of woodworking as me..not a top professional cabinet maker whose great work I can never emulate!!
When I need to add weight for glueup I use Home Depot buckets and fill them with water. Easy to set in place and remove. Plus the buckets are handy for other things later.
All of my woodworks I am making with woodprix. Google and try it.
LMAO
Mute. First 3 minutes i counted 15 ummms or uuhhhhs. Nice bench tho
Your going so fast I had to delete is a crappy video
Running At Double Speed is NOT a video editing technique. It's just irritating
IIRC, I sped this up at 500X. not 200x....
