A week or so back I posted pictures of the workbench/assembly table
that I was building and finally today I am just about finished.Â* I'm
debating whether to add 2 attachment bolts to hold the two units
together.

I elected to not drill the 32,548 holes in the top.... My Festool work
table has enough.Â* ;~)

The legs. With material storage on the wings that stick out.

I had wondered the purpose of the wings in the construction photos
earlier...

Forgot to address in my precious response.

The top wing, if you will notice, extends out a few inches further than
the lower wings.

It extends past the side of the work surface so that I can have a place
to put my track with parallel guides.Â* It is normally an issue finding a
place to put it when working with multiple sheets of plywood.

See?Â* The fishing works.Â* ;-)

I like it.Â* A lot!Â* How do you deal with cutting the top of the bench?

I built my cutting bench on a solid-core door with a sheet of 3/4" MDF
just sitting on top, held in place by side rails 1/4" shy of the
surface.Â* I'm not short on space so portability wasn't important. It's
on casters but it never moves more than a foot or two.


Flat surface doors make great make-shift work surfaces.
I've been known to buy hollow core cheapies for on-site work benches.
Dead flat, light, cheap.


And that is a great use of those cheapie doors too. LOL

I finally wanted something 96" long and wider, 40". I can sit in the
middle of these torsion box sections and I get about 1/16" deflection.
