I needed some more space in my garage so I picked up this Yukon 48 inch workbench to see if it would help me out and I’m actually really surprised with the way it came out!
I really enjoyed this video, to the length of it, the way you laid it out, to the edits. Thank you for making this. 🤝🏽 im definitely gunna get this now
@@woodwaker1 Bummer. I literally picked mine up an hour ago. I have three HF near me so I went to the second closest one bc my main one said limited quantity. Good luck!
I used lock washers on all the bolts and added a cross brace (2x4) under the bottom shelf. it is solid as a rock. Time will tell if it stays, but it should. I plan on adding an articulated magnifier/light and rollers to the legs when I figure out a way to finagle them on. It's just for working on electronics so it won't have much weight on it. Also tossed the electrical outlet and replaced it with a six outlet with a breaker on it. I won't be running anything heavy duty other than my o-scope, power supply, soldering station and a Dremel or two, but I didn't get a warm and fuzzy feeling about the outlet that came with it and had some good ones laying around anyway.
They upgraded the hardware with serrated flange nuts, they work better biting in to the metal on the bench, those lock washers are cheap and will back off over time. Use nylon lock nuts and or locktite in place of the lock washer. On the old are units before they were rebranded Yukon, yes, definitely use the lock washers & regular flat washer.
The sharp corners and the screw heads fray my shorts and other clothing when they get caught and they always seem to get caught! So be careful of that.
