Reader Project: Hefty Woodworking Bench — The Family Handyman
And so what do you do with a xxx-twelvemonth onetime cedar deck and a sagging dining room table? If you are Dennis Dever, you salvage the wood and build this behemoth woodworking bench.
And then what practise you do with a 30-year one-time cedar deck and a sagging dining room table? If you are Dennis Dever, you salvage the wood and build this behemoth woodworking bench.
"Nigh all of the material used below the table top is from the old cedar decking. I used two v/4" planks laminated together for framing. Smaller internal pieces like the drawer guides are cedar ripped down to desired thickness. Only the glue (over a half-gallon of Titebond), screws, 1/2-in. Air-conditioning plywood for drawer bottoms, and drawer pulls are store bought. And a power strip discreetly recessed under the table on the correct side.
The piece of work acme is of 3 ft. ten 5 ft., 2-1/4-in. thick lamination; i-inch hardwood surface, 3/four-in. AC plywood, one/2-in. AC plywood. Pino fascia conceals the plywood edges. You might say in that location are actually two tabletops. The top of the base is cedar board that provides a weight distributing platform for the heavy work elevation that is attached by 2-1/ii-in.- loftier transverse runners merely inward of the vises. Advantages to this system include ability to run bar clamps under the work pinnacle, room for a shallow simply long pencil and notepad drawer, a surface for the extension table slides, and infinite for some rolled upwards polyethylene sail handy for protection from paint or occasional engine repair, etc.
Laminated 4-in. x 4-in. (actual dimensions) cedar makes the table legs. With one inch thick embellishments all around, the over all thickness is half-dozen inches requite or take, equally there are slight variations in plank thickness and cupping. No planer was used on this project. Just a lot of innovative clamping…and olympic weightlifting plates.
I extensively used ideas from two The Family Handyman manufactures: "Bomb-Proof Woodworking Bench" by Dave Munkittrick, and "DIY Workbench Upgrades" which I institute online. So I threw in my preference for the Gothic." — Dennis
