Work Table

Nice, Fred. I’m guessing that, since you call this a “work table”, it’s not your bench. Seeing no vise, or bench dogs, what is the primary purpose of the table? You mention assembly and TS extension – what else?

Fred,

That looks really good and sturdy!!!! I like the idea of the 45 degree angle in the tray..

Come to think of it I don’t have a vice or bench dogs on my on my work bench. Good looking table.

I like all tables, benches and the like, because ….......I don’t have any. Maybe the Princess will have pity on me and give up her car space. Not likely.

fred, I like your work table and bench. I hope that I’ll get there some day.

I like the design. What are the dimensions?

I like it. For grins you could drill a few dog holes and add some wonder pups.

Bill.. take a look at Obi’s table—you could suspend your table from the ceiling!!

Very nice! I love the simple design and implementation. Makes me want to make one for myself.

A nice bench indeed. I need to make one for myself too.

I have since added an undermount vice in the top right side of the “table”. I haven’t found the need to add bench dogs yet. I assemble all projects on the table and I can access all sides of the project. I put a drop cloth over the table and put on some “T” stands and do my painting and finishing work.

The “T” stands are made of 3/4 plywood. I also use the “T” stands (6”x36”) for glue up of the projects. That way it is easier to clamp the bottom of a project and from all sides.

The dimensions are 62” x 33” and it is 34” high.

Nice work bench. I built a very similar bench myself. Same type of frame and top. Used it many years.
