For my new shop, I made some simple, sturdy and super modular work tables WITH MAGNETS!!! Tables, UNITE!

It's finally time to start setting up my new shop! Everything is still shoved against the walls, mostly still in boxes and completely unorganized. As a first step towards making the space usable, I decided to build a work table. I debated about making one large 4x8 table that could act as an out feed table for my table saw. I was worried that such a large item would start to eat up my large open space as I really want to try to keep this shop as open and flexible as possible. On my Twitch livestream recently, I opened up the discussion for input about how to make a table more useful and modular. We had an AWESOME collaborative design session and eventually the project turned into tables, not just table.The idea we ended up with was multiple tables that could snap together (using magnets) to create a large 4x8 table when necessary, or split apart to be useful in different places or configurations. They turned out to be really simple, really sturdy and super cool :)

Common responses to comments: Digital Plans - www.iliketomakestuff.com/product/modular-work-table-digital-plan/ 1. The new style is an experiment and will continue to evolve.The music and talking won't be what everyone likes. I understand that. 2. My beard is long, don't sweat it. I'm not asking for beauty advice :) 3. I did end up adding a second set of magnets at the bottom of the legs. 4. The 2" casters are actually fine, turns out I had one caster with bad bearings and it wouldn't roll. 5. I know you have to keep the tables clear to open the storage. That's the point :) It will force me to keep the tops tidier.

@addman 6 лет назад

my really only worry about this design is what if you're working on the table with the stuff you need that with in it. I do like that the top opens though, maybe adding putting a large pull-out drawer opening on the side. so that if you want you can pull out the drawer instead of opening the top?

I was that little girl when I was that age, always helping my dad, a carpenter, and learning what I could. Now I am an adult, and I can literally overhaul/renovate an entire house, including the plumbing and electrical work, all by myself. My husband is the brains, I am the brawn lol. So keep encouraging her, her future husband (or wife, you never know) will thank you for it. More girls should be encouraged by the men in their lives when they show an interest in things like this.

Simple suggestion for 2X material from 4-12"! When in a sawmill, the first cut for length is 16' from the bottom of the tree which is most stable. 14'-12'-10'-8' are from the tops of the tree less stable and are still twisting & moving. Always buy 16' lengths and cut your own pieces and for storing them level on the floor and strap together will keep them straight and true. Hope this helps. Great channel!

Great work, Bob! Definitely considering rebuilding my assembly table, all of the holes in my Paulk bench cause screws to fall through during assembly a lot of times. Gets SUPER annoying!

@suzisaintjames 6 лет назад

You should center the hardboard on the large table leaving 1/4 inch on both ends, then with your router put a 45-degree bevel around all sides. This will not only look nice and be more comfortable when you put your forearms on the edge (yes, I am a girl), but will erase the fact that your board was short, make it more likely that boards exiting the table saw will not catch on the edge thus making the boards last longer. You should also paint the two smaller tables different colors so you won't constantly be going to the wrong table. For example the red table has the wrenches and the blue table has the hammers.... What about splitting the big table top in half and putting a recessed hinge down the center for more storage. After all where are you going to put all the little stuff that goes with the air compressor and shop vacuum attachments? Looking forward to watching you set up your shop. xoxo from Arizona 💋

Bob these things are so perfect, I have a two car garage workshop and I've been looking into different work benches. I love the different sizes that you get out of these. Thanks for sharing the knowledge bob you're a great teacher.

@sjstrutt 6 лет назад

Suggestion: Might be worth it to paint the frames of the two smaller tables differently, so you can quickly mentally reference what's inside of them. It could quickly become annoying if you forget which table is which and keep opening the wrong lid looking for something.

@Cwjespersen 4 года назад

Imagine having to clean your entire workbench to get a tool, only to realize it’s in the one you just stacked all the crap on to.

@johnguthrie6579 4 года назад

Thicker washers would help

@chrisman3673 3 года назад

John Guthrie my thought exactly

@Loosehead 3 года назад

And maybe make your tables 47" instead of 48", so it doesn't matter if your hardboard isn't 48", or if you rough cut it first then get the exact size when its smaller and easier to handle.

@seansysig 5 лет назад

Bob I made these but changed the build order. I cut my MDF tops then placed 2"x4" frame on top of MDF and pocket hole screwed them to MDF so no screws holes on top. I added leveling feet so when they are used on each side of my portable miter station the magnets they can align. I routed in a T track and measuring tape to the left hand table. The struts were the ticket! Thanks for this great shop idea, it's perfect for my 12'x16' shop.

@steelman774 4 года назад

I love that you included a measuring tape to one side like on a table saw. It’s the little things that make the difference... (and need a quick measure reference) 🤣👍

Very nice! The lifting top made me realize how much wasted storage space is hiding under the countertops I put in my garage

@brucelee3388 6 лет назад

I looked at that, and then immediately thought 'As soon as I put something on top of the table I will need something in the storage under the top'.

@videoscrapheap 6 лет назад

You would want to limit what you put in there to stuff you don't need regular access to. This would make sense for an out feed table since you normally would not have stuff on that.

@JeremyCarlsten 6 лет назад

Or make it a drawer and a lift top!

@md51236 6 лет назад

That's true. If you are assembling something on the table and then realized you needed a tool that was in the table top, you would feel hassled to take everything off the table just to get your tool.

@murishani047 6 лет назад

To quote Adam Savage: "Drawers are where tools go to die."

@BronkBuilt 6 лет назад

Strong magnets to attach the tables together is brilliant. I know you already answered this but for my I'd use large drawers as I know as soon as I put my work on the table I'd need something from within it.

I watch all your videos and I can honestly say you are one of the people that really inspire me to continue with woodworking. Keep up the fantastic work, Bob! Also, I'd love to see a "How to setup a new workshop" series! It could include tips for working with the space you have, general design, necessities for beginners through adepts, or even just a documentary of you designing your own new shop. Again, I love your content and I will continue to watch all of your videos!

I know this is one of the older videos, but I'm so glad I stumbled upon it. I'm also in the process of replacing the worktable I made 20 years ago, and this is just what I was thinking about, but hadn't fully conceptualized yet. I'm taking it one step further, and along with these 3 tables, I'm building one for my miter saw, and one for my table saw, that will be the same height and can also connect via magnets. That way I can have customized infeed and outfeed tables. I already have my cut list - just a matter of going lumber hunting. Thanks again!

@krtwood 6 лет назад

I like the modularity of it but don't think trapping tools under the work surface is practical. I guess it will discourage piling crap on them at least. It will happen anyway though. You could paint the bases different colors to make it clear which one is which.

@jerrybobteasdale 6 лет назад

yep, shallow drawers or an undershelf would be better.

@ThekiBoran 5 лет назад

Yep, I have a Rubbermaid tool cart with a 1 1/2" plywood top that opens and closes. It has 3 t-tracks routed into it that accept Kreg quick clamps. It has hinges and gas struts. I have the same problem you mentioned. I used to pack it full of little stuff like spare pencil lead, jetline for shimming, hinge bits, etc... I found that opening a top that has gobs of tools or materials on it is a whore's nightmare. It's now empty except for an out-of-square framing square that I never use. LOL!

@donniefontaine8018 4 года назад

Yeah, I assume this was probably discussed during the collaborative design session and he decided to go for it anyway but the minute he mentioned a hinged top, I cringed a little.

@dakotamax2 4 года назад

@thecrimsonraven707 5 лет назад

@Coldmiser487 4 года назад

Now that you've been using them for two years how are they holding up? Are there anything you would have changed? Did you ever make a follow-up video with all the additions you put in them and how you use them? I love the idea of magnets, but I would probably put them closer to the bottom I occasionally work with computer equipment and would rather keep the magnets far away.

@SolidRockMachineShopInc 6 лет назад

Nice tables. I use the hard board for covers on our milling machine, works great. Some one watching our video mentioned using material that they make white maker boards out of so you can write on them. Would that work well on your table top? Steve

@Iliketomakestuff 6 лет назад

It would, but the stark white surface would make shooting videos a bit more difficult. I had a whiteboard covered desk in my old office and it caused some video problems, plus basically always looked dirty. :/

@ctrl-alt-awesome5189 6 лет назад

One problem with the magnets is as soon as you do any form of metal work or cutting ferrous metals it will stick all over the magnets the same as with screws and nails, it really will be a pain in the ass. I know this as I had the exact same idea a few years ago, one thing I have done that fixes this is I got another shop vac nozel and brought a 9v battery and 9v electro magnet with with a switch I cut a hole to put the magnet into the nozel so when it comes to cleaning the strong magnets you can engage the electro magnet to remove bits and once you move it away just disengage it and start up the shop vacant really helps you can even use 12v magnets with the 9v cell Hope it helps Best regards

@alexoliva2012 6 лет назад

@Blueinyourface 6 лет назад

For some reason my comment didn't post so if this is a duplicate...I apologize. Why did you decide on hinge table top opposed to drawers? I see pros/cons for both (especially for the different configurations) but with my luck I would probably need something form the storage after I covered the top with my work materials. I need to build work benches, and this seems to be the best design for my space. I will probably add holes to the top for pegs. Thanks for the upload!

@ryansealey1787 6 лет назад

Blueinyourface I get your point. Maybe draws further down could be added to the bench also. As for peg holes you could make one with peg holes and one without!

@Blueinyourface 6 лет назад

What's great about this table design is that you can customize it to fit "your" needs (everyones needs are different). I think I would add a drawer to the largest table but leave the smaller tables "as is".

@mrpogueman 6 лет назад

Blueinyourface you could also cut the top I'm half but still have both halves on the hinge so you can open up halfway if there are things on the table

@kcocgibkcusuoy 6 лет назад

I made a few changes to the design to suit my space and needs and it turned out really heavy duty and awesome work space. Thank you very much Bob. Keep it going and let’s all learn and MAKE together.

What happens when you need to get one of those tools under the tabletop, but you have a bunch of stuff on top of it? No bueno.

The 48 inches is nominal size just like a 2x4 is only 1.5x3.5 inches. A half inch was shaved away from planing and drying decades ago when people wanted dry and smooth lumber and then it just became standard a long time ago.

Super clever unique approach to the common "workbench build" video!

This is brilliant! I have a very small shed with a big table that is in the way when I'm not using it. I will be building something similar to this. Thank you for sharing!
