Great build, here is something new from another YTer that you might consider for your next bench build kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ptyGpbmV1qedf3k.htmlsi=NH830UumYEeNfDH2

@nguyenthanhtien7939 Жыл бұрын

I am a beginner to woodwork, the main test I have with this bundle kzfaq.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt is that I think that its hard to settle on a choice of the plan and outline to use as there are a large portion of them there. Nonetheless, I like the simple stride to step directions laid out there.

@tomconway6808 2 жыл бұрын

Nothing sticks. The rolling tool chests that Husky makes are really nice, but the ability of this workbench to have the adjustable top is a pretty huge feature that tips me toward this DIY approach. Having a place to store stuff, a surface to work at, AND ability to roll one over to a saw for an outfeed table (and potentially a second one for an infeed table) is awesome.

Great build ! Definitely on my to do list for my next shop. But UHMW can stick ! In the ski/snowboard industry we use UHMWPE as Base and Sidewall material, UHMW can stick very well with the right preparation, so instead of using screw to secure it you could do a rough sanding (like 32 grit) on the "bottom" surface, clean it with Isopropyl alcohol and then "Flame Treat" the surface. To Flame Treat, you just need to use a propane torch about 2-3 in from the surface, move at about 1m/5s or about one to two feet per second, you should see a small change in "glossiness" on the surface right before the flame. The surface should not burn or melt in anyway. Glue with a good epoxy and this thing should stay glued forever. If I do something similar I would glue it to a plywood and screw the plywood to the bench from underneath. It would also provide a way to surface it on a cnc router when the surface become beat up.

Interesting and a no non-sense tool improved upon. That is what I do as well because I don't need to have "exotic" wood storage and what not. It is in the shop and does what it needs to. Nice build and it gives me ideas as well. Thanks Jonny! Be safe sir!

Nothing sticks! This is a great idea. I need a multi functional table for the work that I do, and the Plexi top screwed onto the table top would not only keep things clean, it will keep the surface nice and flat. Husky is a great and trusted brand, and customizing one for my use seems like the perfect way to go. Plus adding that vice will allow me to do so much more. Thank you for sharing this.

This is awesome! I’m not sure when UHMW came on the scene, but I do remember when I was a kid (ca. 1980) my dad had a workbench with a white plastic top that looked just like this, stapled to the top. NOTHING would stick to that stuff. I can’t say it was UHMW, but my uncle was a research chemist for Conoco, so it could have been anything. This is fantastic! I wasn’t sure what my workbench was going to look like… but now I’m getting a pretty good idea. :-) THANKS!

So cool that *nothing sticks* to the top. I know some people don't like buying work tables or toolboxes, but I really think that if you can just make some tweaks like you did to customize it to your needs, it's the way to go. I like the workbenches that I've made, but my Huskey toolbox is likely my best investment in my garage storage.

Nothing Sticks: I'd never considered this as an option but after watching this I'm sold. Maybe the Husky isn't the brand I go for but the concept has me convinced. I'm working in a very limited space so the versatility of an assembly table that I can raise to a height comfortable for me to work on but move and lower to be an out-feed table is brilliant. I'll do something different in the space underneath but the ideas are starting to swirl around in my head. This is gonna be fun

I had the same idea about the base. only I used two of the smaller bases, already had one that i ruined the top on, so i built a new top that was the full width of my tablesaw. 52"X60". two of these bases with a rod connecting them and a full Plywood top worked wonders for an outfeed and assembly table. but i never knew this type of plastic existed. thanks for clueing me in. now have a full top of 1/8 and I no longer have to sand down the glueup squeeze out every month. after reading up on the plastic I now buy a feet to have on hand and use it in a lot of areas. the recycled verion is about half the cost of the new and still same properties. makes great draw slides for heavy drawes.

Awesome video - I am totally going to do this project - maybe without the vice, not sure. Here's an idea I had for mine - Build a frame with legs, attached to the table top itself, that is just a bit higher than the floor to tabletop height when all the way down. Install the casters on these legs instead. This way when you are using the table, the frame is sitting on the ground directly, and when you crank it ALL the way down, you actually pick the legs up off the ground, leaving the table sitting on the casters giving you mobility. Locking casters not necessary. Question: What is the difference between UHMW, HDPE, and ABS for this project? and what impact would each have on the finished product's uses?
