I just finished my assembly table. I took the design from the wood whisperer.com and in my opinion made it better. I added a backbone down the middle of it so that I could put it on wheels and not worry about it sagging in the middle. Also I changed the shelves from fixed to adjustable. Instead of a torsion box I just used 2 sheets of MDF and put a laminate on top. Its perfectly flat any very sturdy. When you lock the wheels you can push as hard as you want and it wont go anywhere

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.

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

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).
