@tomowens2720 Год назад

There are casters out there like you're using except once a bench etc is in place the caster itself can be separated from the plate it attaches to thereby eliminating the dangerous tripping hazard the casters you use pose. Food for safety thought folks.

@jpalarchio Год назад

Nicely done. I built a wood cart a while back with similar joinery for the frame but used a pair of 2x4s in the corners screwed to each other instead of the 4x4. An alternative option that may be a little easier than those 4x4 cuts if you only have a miter saw or circular saw.

Plywood is 100% the better choice for torsion boxes. I love, love, love me some torsion boxes.

@kevinmiller1881 Год назад

Shameless plug for shop the store. Love it.

@jcapogna Год назад

Awesome bench. A slight improvement to your torsion box would be to use MDF or plywood for the inside grid so those peices won't expand and contract and disrupt the flatness. I doubt it will be an issue for you, but it doesn't hurt to be extra safe.

@dillygoggsmakesstuff Год назад

@9bnmadden Год назад

I've got the same style casters you mentioned and love them. Something to consider. Drill a hole in both levers and bolt a 1x2 peice of wood, or a smaller scrap of steel across them. That will allow you to raise or lower the bench in 2 steps as opposed to 4!

@NeonDripKitty Год назад

What's the name of those kinda casters?

@walkercastle7582 Год назад

They also have the same style that come as a mounting plate and removable caster/lever. Gets the casters outta the way on items you’re not constantly moving.

@brentfrench752 Год назад

The workbench looks great! I should have made my top like yours. I only had room for a 36” deep workbench, so I used a solid core door, then put a nice sheet of 1/2” plywood over it, so I could flip it for a new surface when needed. The problem is that the workbench weighs a ton! I put those same casters on my bench as that’s the only way to move it, but waiting for them to snap!

Adding an end piece of plywood would stiffen the frame, adding resistance to flex. I think it would also improve the appearance of your frame.

I recently built a 42x76 work/sewing/craft table out of 8020 aluminum extrusions with a plywood top and an MDF cabinet, and it's so heavy and solid that I'm going to build a work table for my shop the same way. And then someday I can take it apart and get it out the basement door and put it back together again without having to destroy it.

@markusfreund6961 8 месяцев назад

From where I'm standing, bulding the top on top of the top makes a lot of sense.

@mark2talk2u Год назад

Nice video and lots of help. Thank you for sharing. One comment (which some may want to quibble with) … I find the title a little misleading as the video doesn’t come “with build plans”. There is an option to buy such plans … but then, there often is such an option with this type of video. Maybe it is I who is quibbling 😮

@jasonarthurs3885 Год назад

Currently discussing workshop update at work; we could use a few of these workbenches. Thanks for walkthrough. Enabling the drawers to carry more weight, when loaded, also adds mass to the workbench; providing further stability. Tight clearances on drawer fronts will help keep dust out. Great build ILTMS! And many thanks for the AR visualising tool. Also, also: It pains me to watch American builders continue to suffer the Philips head screw, when here in Canada we have a square headed design, the Robertson, that is superior by every measure. Check it out.

@chuckh5011 Год назад

Try cutting the round over off the 2x4s. It makes it much cleaner and doesn't take but a minute with the table saw or jointer.

@jameshayne7822 Год назад

Fantastic video, really like how easy you make it look, at least until I try it myself :) What is your replaceable top made out of? I have a top on mine that is still structurally fine, but totally dinged up. I was thinking about adding a similar top to this one to save it any further damage.

@jdadams77 Год назад

Can you make a video about how to use tools and equipment as a left handed person. I am left handed and I encounter a lot tools that I have to figure out how to use them because they are backwards to me. When I was in a psychology class in college the teacher said left handed people die younger because they improperly use tools that can kill them. Of course she said once a person gets past a certain age everything sort of evens out.

@Iliketomakestuff Год назад

I'm left handed and there's a few tool annoyances but they still work.

@jan-willempolinder405 Год назад

Wouldn’t it stay better flat if you use plywood or mdf for the inside of the torsion box? These 1x4’s will expand or contract right, even a little?

Now you just gotta get some steel bar and weld it across the casters so you only step on the bar once per side, not on the individual casters :)

@brucelee3388 Год назад

As pointed out by Joe Palarchio - Why not use 2x4's for all the framing? In some places what is offered as 4x4 is woefully undersized AND is made from laminated stock anyway, it just costs more than 2x4's because you are paying for the mill to glue up the boards into a '4x4', then the retail lumber supplier puts on an additional 'premium' to the price because they pretend the mill needed to pay more for bigger trees or some similar nonsense.

Did you consider making the inside of the torsion box out of MDF instead of 1x4? I was just thinking it would have fewer irregularities, but perhaps there's another reason i'm overlooking? Nice work been considering something like this for a while now, thanks for sharing.

@Iliketomakestuff Год назад

Nope, that's a good point!

@astralmatrix Год назад

Great project! One question I had is how were you able to ensure the 1x4s for the table top frame were all level and flush for making the MDF layer totally flat? Thanks!

@Iliketomakestuff Год назад

I used a level often to make sure things were flat.
