Assembly Table

Looks pretty nice to me. Wheel are great for something this size.

Nice. Great job.
Good idea to add a power outlet also.
Looks like you managed to find some nice plywood. A lot of people have been having trouble finding it.

Thanks Guys,
My plywood came from a local lumber yard, not home depot. Much better quality. The design with the drawers and doors is repeated on the other side of the unit maximizing the storage. My pancake compressor has its own outlet inside the left door bay so I can just leave it in there and cut down on the noise. I have been debating weather or not to cut a hole in the side for the air hose to come out. Right now I just run it out the door.

This is a nice table. You have a solid work surface, plenty of storage available and the addition of the electrical outlets was a good idea. And making it mobile makes the table really versatile.

Nice post. I enjoyed looking at this.

nice job, it looks really solid from where I’m standing. I’m planning an assembly table also so its good to see a few designs around so i can get some ideas. thanks for the post.

oh man, that is so nice. I really would like to have something like that for my garage.

I have the plans I drew as a pdf if you want them.

All of your stuff right there at arms reach while assembling your work, and movable too! Nice job!

This is great! I wish I had room for one.

Very nice indeed, what are the dimensions? Where did you get those wheels? How do you like the PC dovetail machine?

Nice table. It must be nice to work on it.

I added some pictures of my plans… there are 5 wheels, 4 at the corners, one in the middle. All the wheels are double locking casters from woodcraft. I’ve had a few issues with the Omnijig. Nothing too Major though. Overall I like it.

Now this is a great project ! I think I might make one the same height as my table saw and use it as an outfeed table when necessary….Now if only my flloor was level !!!! hahahaa

Very nice, I built one similar but was afraid to put it on wheels cause it was soooo heavy and I wanted it to be stable since it doubles as a work bence. I am curious how are those casters holding up?

The casters are still working great. If you look in my second side view plan I calculated how many pounds the unit is and estimated loading it with 500 lbs of tools. Each wheel fully loaded will be around 216 lbs of pressure. Each wheel is rated for 300 lbs, so there should never be a problem. I also (occasionally) use this table as an out-feed table for my table saw. That’s why its 35.5” high (same height as my table saw).

Way to go … you don’t mess around with little simple projects. I would love to make a table JUST like that if I had the room. I will tell you here … WELCOME TO LumberJocks. You will be a great addition.

Hi Hozer

Great minds must think alike. I am in the process of putting in a new shop and was going to do what you did with your work table. Put it on casters and same top. You did a great job on yours. Thank for posting and thanks for the plans.

God Bless

Thanks for including the plans. I have been meaning to update my assembly table. This one certainly gives me some ideas.

Nice table … have you looked into adding a fixed pipe/valve to the side of the box (possibly in a small recessed box to protect it) ... I’m just thinkin’ out loud … but if noise was my main concern … I might look into that rather than simply cutting a hole in the side for the air hoses … which would obviously defeat the original purpose … anyway … enjoy your table … looks like she’ll serve you well!

Great job!! I wish I had the room, sigh, but for now I use an 84”x36” hollow core door clamped to my workbench.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Great job!

Thanks for the post

This is a great design, I plan on doing somthing similar, but making an outfeed table.

Looks great. Very nice job. I used two sheets of 3/4 plywood glued together and then use a 1/4 sheet of birch ply on the top. The birch ply is sacrificial and I can replace it if it gets too badly damaged. I really use my table. Also I drilled holes in the top for bench dogs and then mounted a bench vice in the end for clamping or holding long pieces in place. Unlike your table mine does not have wheels and I wish I had them from time to time. Only one question. Your calculation is for 5 wheels but in the drawings I only see 4. Where is the 5th wheel?

I thought of adding the 5th wheel after I drew the plans. I should have tried to draw it in but I figured it would be confusing. The 5th wheel is located on the bottom, directly in the middle of the table.
