Hi Dave,

Nice project and very useful as well. It serves a dual purpose as an outfeed table and an assembly table. I like the addition of the levelers.

How thick is the top of the table?

Top is 3/4” – When I get around to building my real assembly table, I build a torsion box for the top.

Very nice table. Looks like it’s built very well. Nice and sturdy.

Heh…Tyler stole my comment. Great job. I’d love one of these if I had the extra space.

Nice table Dave! I like the levelers. Charlie and Tyler: Checkout the Knockdown sawhorse bench I made, it is great for guys like us who are short on space. I use mine all the time and it stores away in less than a minute! It is so easy to build a monkey could do it using just a chisel!!

Nice able Dave – I like everything about it – but like Tyler and Charlie, I wish I had the space to put one.

Very substantial assembly table. Wish I had the room…

Did you laminate it after the photos? It looks like bare wood. I mounted hard board followed by 10 coats of thin clear gloss poly on mine to facilitate easy repairs to scratches and to make it an easy build. I wish I had laminated mine. It’s so much better of a surface for an outfeed table, but for an assembly table I would feel anxious about drips from glue ups and finishes. It’s a good table anyway.

Nice, sturdy and well planned. I am curious to the materials for the legs and stretchers – dimensional lumber?

It’s laminated in the pics. The laminate is a wood color marble I picked up at Lowes. I thought about using hardwood but then I decided I’d never replace the top once I had put it in place. It’s not very difficult to get glue off laminates and I can always cover in paper if the job is going to be messy.

Legs are plywood. I just glued two pieces together to add strength.
