Torsion Box Assembly Table

Really nice table Bill.. I need to make one also, along with a lot of other things.. What did you use for the top, bottom, and braces of the torsion box?

Nice assembly table. Looks like a good set of tools also.

Wow, that’s impressive. I remember watching Marks’ show where he built the torsion box. I wanted one, and the space I need to go with it. You have a good looking shop, sir.

Nice looking table, and also your shop looks great.

That table will come in handy.

Great table. I could really use one of these, but I don’t have room in my shop.

Wow, that is great. Awsome storage and workspace.

Yes, you are difinitely addicted. That is too many tools to accumulate in a year’s time. The only cure is to get rid of some of them. Send me your address and I’ll send a truck by to haul some away for you. :-)

Hi Bill;

That will be real handy for general assembly, as well as veneering. (not to mention the added storage).

Nice shop!

Happy New Year;

Very nice job, Bill!
I’m making the same table now- the cabinet is done except for the doors and drawers, and the top’s inner gridwork is about 3/4 done. It should be finished next weekend.
I’ve made a few changes, though. I’ll be using it for an outfeed table for my unisaw, so I increased the height to match the saw table. I miscalculated the cabinet height, so I had to reduce the top thickness from 4” to 2 5/8”. I changed the grid members from 3” to 1 7/16” high. I don’t think it will affect the rigidity of the top, and it will be a bit lighter.
I’m also going to build a bridge piece between the saw and the outfeed table that will have the miter slots routed out. That way I won’t have to mangle my brand new tabletop.

With that kind of support we are all going to grow in each of our pursuites and it’s going to be a great year. PS Myron you will be glad your table is 2&5/8” thick when it time to lift it can’t wait to see the results.

Well heres another ataboy, if you can stand it. Nice job, looks really cool. Now I want to make one. I”M using an 8 ft. long by 3 ft wide 3 quarter inch thick table to work on right now cause my work bench is to cluttered. I mean piled to high. Take my word for it. mike

Sweet. Someday I hope to have the space for one!

Looks like you duplicated it perfectly, nice bench. Congrats, that’s a lot of work. You’ve got some cool tools there, what kind of access to your basement? Hope you have an outside door and not lugging that heavy stuff down some old stairs. Keep up the good work!

wow really nice table. i recognized it as the one marc made right off the bat. great job.

Hi Bilip,

I am glad that this one came back up on my review list. I don’t know how I missed it in the initial posting. This is one nice torsion table. I have been debating on building one of these (if I can break away from the computer that is). This one looks solid.

Thanks for the post.

Wow, nice assembly table… I would love to have one of these right in the middle of my shop. Great job on this…
