Finally finished (almost) my assembly table. I started this over 2 months ago with slow progress. I first saw the design on a shop tour by Terry Hatfield on Wood Central. The Wood Whisperer also did a blog on a table of similar design last month with a torsion box top. Couldn’t believe he stole my design ….which I stole from Terry. I used 2 solid core doors for the top which alone weigh over 150 lbs. the whole thing weighs close to 400lbs (loaded) I included a pic of my old work station which served me well but new one provides much better oragnization/storage. Construction is face frame style. I hope to put in many hours working at this table.

How understanding of your wife to let you turn the kitchen into a shop ;>)

Nice bench.

Dock, You are blessed to have such a nice / large shop. You ought to be able to work more efficiently now with this improved assembly table. An organized shop makes for more enjoyable woodworking. Congratulations on the nice job!

I like to old one. It looks lived in.

Just kidding.

Looks like a great table.

I agree, the space in your shop is desirable. Can we see pics of the other side of your shop? (Nice bench)

Those solid core doors are great work surfaces. I have one on a 2×4 frame that is my bench. Rock solid and heavy… I can only imagine what two on that base would weigh… Nice work.

Bob A I will be posting some other inside pics of my shop when it doesn’t look like a tornado aftermath: yeah kinda messy. Shop video can be viewed at the following site: http://lumberjocks.com/jocks/DocK16/blog/1055
Yes I feel very fortunate to finally have my dream shop after many years in a small room in the basement. It’s an ongoing labor of love.

doors make great counter tops too.

Nice work table. I would kill for a shop that size. Two of those tables would fill my shop completely.
