My Multifunctional Outfeed/Assembly Table (MO/AT): Workbench on Steroids! 

Very cool! Well thought out. I’m in the middle of a “Ultimate table” build on my channel and I picked up some great last minute detail ideas. Thanks for sharing!

I bought this for my friend for his birthday as we just moved into a new house and he finally has room for a workshop. The bench was very easy to set up ru-vid.comUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh They center support is a little difficult to snap in and out of place at first but at least then we know the bench is secure. It was a pleasant surprise when we saw it came with clamps. I apparently missed that in the description. My friend loves the versatility of the bench. Great starter bench for his workshop and easily transportable all over our property. I wish the bench was a little taller but the other features of the bench more than make up for that.

I've designed a number of automated machines and various other machinery from Misumi's catalogs... great product lines. Nice to see them getting some use in the woodworking world. The presentation is clear and concise... keep up the good work.

hey man, I appreciate your humility. You are correct, there are few truelly original ideas out there, but that's not important. It's about finding what works for you. Too many people can't keep their ego in check. Well done.

Huy, brother, super well done. The functionality, thought/engineering, and culmination of several ideas is just off the charts. There are definitely some ideas here I plan on adding/changing to my "relatively newly rebuilt" MO/AT (stealing your term!). Thank you so much for the detailed explanation!

I love your hardboard top idea... I made one for my Paulk bench this week and love having the flexibility of a flat top while protecting the surface of of the MFT style top below. The best of both worlds!

Love the way you adapted these other ideas into your way of working. You passing along credit for the ideas is great too.

I love this worktable! Very well (re)designed. I love to see how you use it. I mean, not explaining, but actually use it for a project. Great work!

We don't have to marry our assembly tables to our cabinet saw, do we? I decided to purchase the SawStop outfield table, projecting an enough 33" of support; now, I plan on having an assembly table as an island, independent in its height and not exacted to the top of the table saw, affording to walk completely around with enough margin from my table saw in my small shop; especially, with the outfield accessory folded down. With that said, I do truly admire your integrity in research and adoption. You're a decade ahead of me of where I'm at in woodworking.

You raise the bar on "shop projects"!! Thanks for the video!! I appreciate how you list sources for obtaining the small things like casters, t-track, and aluminum fence. You should consider affiliate links for the stuff you recommend. I'd like to see a "review" video on your bandsaw or miter saw, but then it's time for a build video! Keep up the awesome work!

Great video! I've been watching a lot of work bench and shop videos and yours is the first to truly incorporate the "best of the best" of the various benches. I have built several Paulk benches and they are great for portability and my customers like them so much I frequently leave them upon completion of a job. Your bench is the best representation of what I need in my shop. Thanks for the inspiration.

Respectively you have put together an excellent system using three design elements from youtube's woodworking engineers. Steve Johnson, Ron Paulk's and Timothy Wilmots. Please include yourself, as we stand on each other's shoulders to achieve a collective mind-set. Thank you. I look forward to viewing additional work from you.

Very very well produced video. I can't wait for the next one now!

I love seeing woodworking projects through the mind of an engineer. Great table Huy.

Just came from the router table videos. Much better sound. :) Thanks!

Very nice and practical modifications - thanks

Thanks for taking the time to make this video! I might have to implement some of these ideas in my own shop!

Great design. Thanks for the detailed explanation and overview.

Hey. Hi from 🇨🇦 First time I seen your channel and I’m hooked. I’ve subscribed and looking forward to more videos. This table is a Cadillac compadre to what I WAS going to build . BUT after seen this. I will be adding ( SLOWLY $$$) some of your features. And though it will be much less fancy it will be better than what I had in mind to build. So TY for taking the time to explain the table.

Hi, love all your video's, its so nice to watch something and understand fully all the functions, so many just gloss over their designs without explaining why they have done it.

Nice table. Really like the way you have the crosscut fence setup.

Some great ideas here, and beautifully constructed. Thank you.

I am re-making my multi purpose outfield/assembly table and will use several of your/others ideas. Thanks for the info.

Great video and perfect timing as I am about to re-do both my layout table and miter saw station. - Fellow HSV Wood worker/Egr

Huy - Nicely done. Another source of leveling casters is Zambus and there is a Woodriver brand that is available from Woodcraft. Steve

Thank Huy! Very nice presentation, you're a natural at this!!

Really good design, sourcing is quite helpful. Heads-up: didn't find those leveling casters at Caster City, but they were easy enough to locate, merchant I found who carries them is called "Caster Connection", about $20 apiece.

Great video. I like “adapt & adopt”.

Great presentation and I agree completely. Everything I have made is adapted from someone else's ideas. Keep up the great work! Jeff

Awesome bench, new subscriber! We’re brainstorming about a new bench for our wood shop and this has such an inspiring combination of ideas.

Thanks for the credit Huy, really nice job!

Wow, great design. I was thinking about designing a multi purpose outfield table and will incorporate many of your ideas into the table. Just subscribed, keep up with the great work.

$150!? That's absolutely nothing compared to the time cost of doing that top yourself! Nice job, I appreciate the design focus on this, there's more than enough build videos on youtube as it is. Thumbs ^ and subscribe my man, well deserved.

Awesome presentation.

Good content. I appreciate you taking time out to inform.

Thanks for your ideas and presentation!

That is such an amazing MO/AT! I am planning my assembly table and I want to have some kind of track setup like the MFT, I do like your track setup with the scrap 1/4" board. Well done!

Very good idea and learn a lot about how to design work bench table. Creation start from imitation...I think many thank for sharing this video

Great job Huy. I built the Paulk Bench, but yours is the ultimate work bench. Keep the videos coming. I am, however, wishing you sold the plans for the MO/AT!

Another great video! Thanks for this. Too many look what I can do's vs this is why I did it.

Don't forget, Norm Abram introduced torsion box style many moons ago as well.

I enjoyed your video and the design of your work table. God Bless my friend.

thanks for the great video, would only work for me if a) had time to make it b) had the skill c) had space. My little garage has only 10th space your shop has. But it certainly gave me some ideas when I expand out to my drive on fine days. Thanks again showing how a professional set up his space.

Hey, just found you today and keep watching your videos. Great job

Great design! Enjoying your videos. Rod

great video! thanks for posting this, gives me ideas for my shop.

I just found you. great build and video (s). Good job.

I really enjoyed this!!! GREAT JOB

Nice, I wouldn't even know what to do with that many clamping options.

Wow man, impressive, completely awesome!

It's really beautiful also!

The best and only vietnamese woodworker by far lol

Thanks for sharing this along of good info.

Really like the presentation. I'm actually in the process of building one myself as I come across this video. This is the closest to what I am planning on doing, though you have some cool design elements for the top I may incorporate. Interesting about the CNC. I wonder if local sign makers here have one.

great stolen ideas! I like the way you put 'em all together thanks for sharing

Man, how do you keep that shop so clean? Further inspires me to paint my shop floor. Amazing setup and congratulations on your accomplishments.

great presentation!

Well Done. Some great ideas.

That's a great set up. I'm enjoying your vids. Keep it up!

Great video Huy. I noticed you have an Incra 5000 crosscut sled. Next time you have your camera out, could you show us how you mount it when not in use? Thanks

Awesome MO/AT!

If your MOAT is at 34-3/4 inches and is 1/4 inch below your Sawstop, what mobility system/device(s) are you using for the PCS? I ask as I am planning the purchase of a PCS, and also deigning my outfeed table, benches, etc, to accommodate the saw table top elevation, and would like to have it clear in my mind what is elevating your PCS above the standard 34 inch elevation. Thanks a million for the great videos. I only recently found your posting and I find them exceptionally well done. I appreciate the engineering terms as I too am one although in a different field of practice.

That table was so functional, I learned a lot , thanks 😝🤑👻

I'm really enjoying your channel and videos! If you put out plans for this I would buy it in a heart beat. I'm originally from Northern Alabama, so when I saw the channel name I had to check it out. Roll Tide! ;)

Nice job on your build. As you have suggested, for some time I have been viewing videos such as yours for constructing my own “M.O.A.T.” Your combination of functions seem to suit my needs as well. Can you give me a ball park figure of what you have invested in this table?

Nice combination of ideas.Never let anyone say that combining great ideas isn't true design, some of my best accomplishments combined what was old and made it anew. I was curious about the 96 mm center-to-center spacing for the dog holes (drawing @ 7:47), what is the design consideration that led to this spacing.

Great build, I'm curious what the height of your torsion box and openings are? And do you find that the openings are sufficiently sized to lay drills and other tools in?

If you get a chance, would you show a bit more about how you actually use the Festool saw for crosscut and rip on that table. Moving into new house soon with small shop but want to adapt this to my size. RTR but WDE first!!!

amazing work buddy

Huy, what an incredibly well thought out build. I especially appreciated your approach of sharing the many design elements and crediting those whose prior work inspired you. Your build comes closest by far to what I am planning to build and I really, really liked your phrase at the end, "Adapt and Adopt" as I think that sums up perfectly how we should approach these projects. I have a few questions that were not specifically addressed in the video that I was hoping you would be able to address. 1. I have the same question as at least 2 others. How did you control and eliminate any flex in the top given that you required that it be a dead flat reference surface and still incorporate 20 mm dog holes for clamping and the like? 2. how did you install the ¾" MDF top so that you can replace it in the future? I read your response on the hardwood blocks and ¼" - 20 inserts. But having a difficult time visualizing how you implemented that. I.e. Did you screw through the top? if so, how did you line up the insert and the screw hole up so they would mate properly. How many screws did you apply per foot? Did you use hardwood blocks on each side of each interior truss? 3. Would it be possible to obtain a copy of CNC G-code file as I have access to a large CNC machine? (my address is james_collard at yahoo dot com) 4. It looks like the bottom of each of the two end boxes for your lower drawers are twice the thickness of the center drawer. May I ask why that is? 5. Are the openings on the torsion box 8" high or is that the height from the top surface of the floor to the bottom surface of the top? Again, great job and another thumbs up subscriber.

I had to look up what "orthogonal" meant..... Great job, both the unit and the presentation. I just bought a SS and the outfeed table is the first thing on the to-do list. Mobility and multi-usage are important to me because I have much less space to work in than you do. You mention Steve Johnson in the video, and he did an awesome job on his, especially a leveling system I thought was pretty ingenious. Like you did, I'll peruse the internet and take the parts of the build that seem to suit my work needs. I was looking at those same casters you used. It's been a while. How did they work out for you? Thanks for sharing you expertise.

I have now added ideas from you for my new bench. I also picked up timothys plans. I currently have a paulk style bench. Question regarding the casters. I move my outfeed to clean often, are they cumbersome to raise and lower? They seem to get mixed reviews. Thanks.

Great presentation

Very nice (MO/AT). ! Nice explanation and tour of the table. I also think you should sell the plans. A lot of people use ideas that other people have and create their own version. And you gave credit where credit is due and made a version that is your own creation. I am also curious about the Domino slots. Can you do an update video on that? Do you use them like Timothy Wilmot does or just as supports for boards?

Great ideas thanks! I recently moved to another state. Sad to say i left my 1620 sq.ft shop when selling the house. Miss it so much. Now i have a three car garage i'll have to do what you have done. Are you still doing ok with woodworking? Hope to see you soon doing more great projects:)

Really enjoyed the video and will use to build similar. I have built one of the Timothy Wilmot workbenches and will utilize that as my sanding table. But I want to build similar to what you did by incorporating other ideas. Question for you is you mentioned the Misumi T-Track, do you have the model number as all I could find was the extrusions which are square (30x30) and does not appear to be what you used. Maybe I am missing something. In any case awesome build.

Nice job. I'm going to use some of your ideas. Something that is puzzling me is how you avoid cutting your tabletop when using your track saw? Thanks

Huy just finishing my bench at home and used your bench as the basis for my design. So well thought out! Just wondering what finish you used on your work surfaces?

Great Job :) I have been trying to find ideas for my ultimate work bench and I think yours is the best I've come across so far. I was originally thinking of 2x4 frame and a sheet of plywood for the base, then construct the cabinets for all my festool systainers then Ron Paulks workbench for the top. I know the 2x4 frame would have added alot of height and I would have lost some cabinet space.......Im interested in how you have gone about yours....also note...im thinking of a bigger workbench...8"x4", im worried about the flex being that big...Ive subscribed btw...great workshop...Im so green

Great video and even better design! My question is how did you attach the MDF top to the torsion box? Did you screw the MDF to the torsion by screwing down through the top of the MDF? Or was it attached to some sort of pocket hole possibly from underneath to the bottom side the MDF?

Do you think you'll ever be doing a "build video" with plans?

Super job!!! Are the dominos slots in the vertical corners of the workbench and/or what do you use them for? Doing research to find a combo bench idea that will fit my needs and your nailed it!!

This is a great overview of this table and great design. Do you have a build video for it? Also, I wanted to see what the leveling / straight edge you have in your hands at 1:59 into the video... Thanks !

Nice work. Did I miss why the outer frame has the domino's cut into it? Just Aesthetics?

Huy just finished my workbench and this bench was my basis for the entire build so thank you! Curious how did you finish your mdf table top? Was thinking arm-r-seal but was wondering what you recommended?

its possible to let know where u send to make the top CNC?

Great work bench! I may have missed it but what are the mortises for on the corners of your table for? They almost look like domino holes.

Awesome job. A lot of thought went into that table. Question, you said, Asumi or Asuni Engineering? Do you have a link? Thank you. 😊👍🏼

Just subscribed! Good job, presentation, and video production. I look forward to what you have coming up. BTW, are you going to attend any of the Woodworking Shows? I'm in Tampa and will be going next month.

When you’re making the cut at 7:20, do you place a sacrificial piece beneath it? How would that interact with the fence you’ve got?

pretty cool

subed, very nice bench

Love it! Your channel is starting strong. Question: Where do you get your butcher paper from?

Awesome table! Do you have the part number for the t track?

Love your modified designs. Newbie woodworker starting to layout shop. Regarding the fence at 6:05, is the that HFS6 2 slot extrusion? Yours looks much taller that the 60mm they have shown. Thanks in advance.

Curious how the tempered hardboard top is protected when you use the skill saw and the various fences. Do you put sacrificial boards down first?

Love the video, do you have a cost for this project?

Thank you for this great video, Huy. I'm planning my own bench and am torn between using 20mm holes vs 3/4 inch. What is the advantage of the 20mm system?

Great bench! What is the function of the domino holes in the legs?

Great set up and video. Too bad I saw this after I built mine... may need to see what I can do to go back and modify. QUESTION: You said you needed it to be dead flat - how did you make sure the hardboard stayed flat even though it's loosely installed. It may be that mine is not 1/4 but 1/8 and it had some waves in it so I ended up needing to install it permanently with screws which was not what I really intended.
