Beautiful work, we did our bench work a lot quicker and dirtier. After figuring out the layout, had a sheet of 3/4" plywood CNC to L- shaped pieces at 4" wide with a vertical leg of 18" and horizontal leg at the depth of our benchwork. Simply bolted 2x2 to existing studs and then the L shaped legs to the 2x2's. Placed the legs 32" O.C . And then a 1x3 as fascia. Cost $150 and installed an entire 12' x 17' room in about 8 hours of work. No legs on floor, minimal holes into the drywall, quick and easy!

@redbarnz Год назад

Another tip I might offer is that when you make the cross pieces add three holes. This is an easy way to thread your bus wires through and keep it neat underneath your layout!

@jamesbach2021 3 года назад

L girder bench work is bullet proof, but is really a center of the room thing. What Ron is doing is around the periphery and the style of bench work he chose is correct. Basement floors are not designed to be level for a reason. When they flood, and they will, they are designed as such so the water on the floor will go to the drain. That's very important. That is also why you must use a level when attaching your bench work to the studs. Wood does need to acclimate to the conditions to where it's being installed prior to it's installation. I am a hardwood flooring contractor and I can tell you from experience. Keeping the wood in the garage is a huge mistake. Unless that's where your layout is to be built. If the layout is being installed in the basement, that's where the wood needs to be prior to installation. When I started in model railroading almost 30 years ago I had local lumber yards that I could go too. Their lumber was always top notch. I cringed when I saw Ron's 1 X 4's. Lord. My options now are big box lumber yards and the quality..... well... pretty much sucks. But with some patience and picking and choosing you can get some decent stuff. When I assemble bench work I use wood glue on all the joints and use a square all the way through. Once you get out of square, your problems multiply. Predrilling is important when going into the end grain, but counter sinking in pine is not an issue as you can "suck" your screw heads in making that unnecessary. Skill Saw's are cheap.... Instead, go with a DeWalt, Makita or Milwaukee. They will cost about twice as much, but they will be much nicer to use. A 40 to 60 tooth blade will work great. The 24 tooth is a bit rough. Ron's suggestion about setting the depth is spot on. Have fun building your layout. Preplan, preplan and then preplan some more. If you can, visit and work with others existing layouts. That may change what you thought you wanted in the first place. Most importantly, have fun!!!!

@DinsdalePiranha67 3 года назад

For those of us who don't have three drills at our disposal, there are drill bits available with which you can drill and countersink without changing bits. My dad had one of these when I built my first HO layout as a kid. I have a countersink bit, which I bought at the time I built my teardrop trailer, but I might spring for one of the bits I just described. Along with building benchwork at some time in the future for an expansion of my switching layout, I have some remedial work to do on the teardrop now that the roof is delaminating.... OTOH, if you really want to own three drills, cordless drills are pretty cheap at Harbor Freight. :)

@RonsTrainsNThings 3 года назад

...or you can always borrow one for an afternoon. Good tip on the countersink bits. I've seen them but never owned one.

@dkaustin98 3 года назад

I can tell your are helping the beginners by all the detail you are giving in your video. When you got to the circular saw you forgot to mention the sacrifice board on the sawhorses. Remember that the big box stores do sell all metal and all plastic sawhorses. Using a sacrifice board attached to the sawhorses will save the sawhorses and a blade. The sacrifice boards can be cheaply replaced as those get cut by the saw and begin to get very ratty looking over time. My sawhorses are heavy steel. Those came with pred-rilled holes so I could screw lengths of 2x4 to the tops from underneath. That way I don't have to worry about wasting a 40 tooth saw blade because it cut too deep cutting into the metal. My boards have been on there for two years without replacement. Another option if you are cutting on a workbench is to throw a 4x8 1/2" sheet of extruded foam on the bench first and then placing the plywood on top. If the user sets the depth of the blade like you showed the foam will get cut and not the workbench.

@LegionOfWeirdos 3 года назад

Makes me excited to start working on my slot car layout... which I've been waiting for cooler weather to do since it's going to be in the garage. Of course, last week it was in the 80s and 90s and this week it's in the 40s... GAH! But I already started clearing out the area and laying out the supplies. I'm also going to cantilever, but from the top. I'll be using detachable-pin hinges to stabilize it on the wall side and a chain hoist from the ceiling to all four corners, that way I can pull the pins and hoist it up and out of the way for parking and lower it down for play time.

@RonsTrainsNThings 3 года назад

That sounds very cool. I can't wait to see how that comes together.

@makodrummer 3 года назад

Great benchwork Ron. I have ran into those imperfections as well where exact measurements still do not butt up correctly. I have combatted that by using an oscillating saw by setting the blade flush on the piece that doesn't stick out and cut into the piece that does. It basically shaves off that excess for a flush feel. Of course removes screws into the section your cutting. Looking forward to next week! - Jason

@chriskennedy7321 3 года назад

@chadportenga7858 Год назад

Great video, but one thing not mentioned, but critical, is that screwing directly into the end of a piece of wood (end grain) does not have good holding power. The threads of the screws tend to cut the grain and will pull out. It will work well enough for a fascia board, but not for things like braces and shelf brackets.

@Deltabravo604 3 года назад

Nice video Ron, several guys mentioned ripping down some 3/4 ply. I would agree. I have a basement layout and most of the solid lumber warped as it was acclimatizing. I bought four sheets of sanded 3/4 - 7 layer ply, ripped them to 3 inches and have had no warping issues with it. I would also suggest pocket holes for the end screws. These holes are way stronger than end screws. One more suggestion would be to use constructions screws over drywall screws. If you are using an impact driver you are much less likely to shear a construction screw. Keep up the good work, I can't wait to see the Helix construction.

@chrisrabbitt 3 года назад

Great video as always, very informative and perfect timing for me but if I could offer some advice about storing timber before using in building benchwork, what you said was spot on about allowing timber to acclimate to the room before use for about a month but when storing it put it on either a canvas or plastic sheet off the concrete floor of your garage as unsealed concrete can allow moisture to pass through it into your timber/lumber causing bowing.

@paulgermain4374 3 года назад

I would have used a chalk line with line level to mark along the total length of the table extension. I would use a level to check the level of each cross piece as well the level of the extension along the length of the extension. I agree with Mr. Curtis below that 3/4" or 23/32" plywood would be a less costly alternative to using 1x lumber. Of course, you would have to rip a plywood sheet with either a skill saw or table saw depending on what you have in your tool inventory. Once ripped to length, the chop saw will do the cross cuts.

@Vman7757 3 года назад

Hey Ron another option if you are able. is to use Plywood cut in to 3.3/4 widths. A sheet of ply can be $30 or more. but a single sheet 3/4 inch cut down to 4" gives you 12 say 1 X 4 X 96 boards. Just a thought. Some places do charge per cut. But it would no be that hard to cut them your self. Just a thought.

@dhemmelgarn1 3 года назад

Great Video! I'm in the beginning stages (plans & room measurements) of building a new layout. My past layouts have been with wood, as you described in this video. Now I'm looking to make my layout modular (2' x 4' sections) and light weight. I'm looking into using metal studs & tracks for the table frame with 1/2 inch plywood mounted on top. Have you tried or have info on using metal studs and tracks for the table frame? I can't seem to find out the Pro's and Con's on using metal studs. Thanks again for great videos!

@michaellerner1369 3 года назад

Thanks Ron for another great video. Q. Why don’t you wood glue and screw everything together? Also, I find that putting a sheet of foam underneath the plywood sheet creates a more stable surface for ripping and prevents chip out on the bottom side.

@RonsTrainsNThings 3 года назад

Hi Michael. Great questions. As for glue, it just isn't necessary. The screws are completely adequate to hold the benchwork together, and If I ever tear it out I can reclaim the wood. The foam trick is a good one, but setting proper saw depth keeps from damaging the wood and I just don't find it necessary to damage a foam sheet for this purpose. That's probably my past construction site experience talking.

I know the video is a year old but Im watching everything again getting ready to build my layout. So since you are attaching right onto the stud wall, do you not finish the walls? Seems it would be a real pain to sheetrock or whatever around all the supports etc.

@RonsTrainsNThings 2 года назад

In this particular case this is just a partition to support this part of the layout. The back side that is visible is drywalled, but the layout side is covered with backdrop (hardboard) above the benchwork and a curtain below, so I did not drywall this side.

@rdanscale3416 3 года назад

Tin Lizzy.. Thats a Cool 😎 Productions there Mr. Ron so is that Benchwork.. But could I use this type of Benchwork in an Apt. Setting one thing I've noticed in our Apt is the Walls are not perfectly flat but that Benchwork would be perfect for a Shelf Layout I did see some large L brackets which I've used as Well for my shelves that set above my Layout would using MDF in the thickness you used Rom for sub Road Benchwork be as Good I know a few places that where once in business used MDF when building Speaker Boxes for there big Sub woofers because they said the wood is good at holding up and MDF is supposed to have pretty smooth surface with 0 knots But that plywood with the sanded surface looks Good as Well Ron on your sub Roadbed do you Slightly round the Edge with a Router so you don't get any Splinter started.. I definitely think adding the small boards to the Studs is a Good way to go! I wasn't sure how you was going to add the Backwall up to your Studs but I Assume your going to add either some flat pine 1/2 or 3/4 painted of course and attached with wood Screws so if there's ever a need to add more Electrical Boxes or for other sources you can just remove the Screws and your into the studs.. Can't wait to see more of this 🙌 and if have some check out my Little Layout and tell me what you think of it, soon in the not to distant future I'm thinking of moving my Inner Route to DCC operation like my outer Route is it'll give me little more control over my Engines and might make operation a bit more Fun..

@RonsTrainsNThings 3 года назад

Hi, Allen. In an apartment, since holes in the wall can be a big deal, I would probably use legs to support my benchwork rather than screwing it to the wall. I have never used MDF for benchwork, but I know other who have. It is less strong than plywood and more susceptible to moisture if that is an issue, but it is free of knots and will not warp.

BACK to about Moisture I try and keep the Door 🚪 shut Ron on our Bathroom which is next to our Bedrooms and keep my Bedroom Door shut or just Cracked open my Table Top is made of Particleboard which has pretty much stayed flat and True since 2015 when I started my Layout...
