Coop Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Cool video, short and sweet! Is the bottom side of the box ply? How did you attach the box to the frame? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you attach the box to the frame? Both sides of the torsion box top are MDF. To attached the top, I used lags through the rails so, it's removable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gee-dub Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Thanks, as always for the video Kev. Great stuff. I think this walnut and ply trend could really take off . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ben interested in your storage solutions inside those drawers! I've always been a fan of your shop and storage solutions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been a fan of your shop and storage solutions! Those drawers are super handy. Blade & other wrenches, tilt box, a flashlight, pencils, miter-gauge add-ons, stop blocks, iBox, ZCI's, lions and tigers and bears - oh my! I don't think I do anything very clever inside those drawers. Let me go see if there is anything picture worthy . . . Meh! Pretty low-tech. Except for a few dividers, most of the stuff is large enough to just set there. Your dividers have got me thinking about my assembly table drawers though. They deserve some attention on the inside. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcK Posted February 18, 2019 Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 Been there done that. Great video Kev. Everybody needs an assembly table and 4 foot square is a great size, indeed the size of mine with very similar construction. Mine is trimmed out in old reclaimed oak floor boards. One additional I did make to mine is a pair of handles, 4 in total, to lift the top off the base. Then it can be stacked vertically on edge when not needed in shops with less space. The other thing with mine is I deliberately made the legs so the top surface of the torsion box is just 24” off the ground. When assembling tall furniture, like a chest of drawers, it makes a difference not having to stand on a step ladder avoiding banging bald heads on ceiling trusses LOL. Smaller jobs can still be assembled whilst sat down. Keep the great content coming. BTW I must have missed your shop move from the recording studio. When did that happen?

Thanks! That actually helps quite a bit! That cabinet is a bit low on my priority list right now but, I'm sure it's coming at some point this year.. To be honest, I'm getting tired of working with ply and making cabinets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did that happen? That was 2 shops ago.... I thought about making this one shorter but, I'm now blessed with a good amount of space so, just added wheels to use as an extra surface where needed or roll it out of the way when not needed.

..Kev Posted February 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 If anyone is interested, there's now an "instructables" write up for the table.. Kind of breaks it down step by step and includes a few videos that may be helpful if you wish to build this table. https://www.instructables.com/id/Assembly-Table-With-Storage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
