Been looking for a shop table / work bench


Apr 27, 2020, 9:03 AM

Not really for wood working, just small projects and tool storage.

I found one on buddybook for $125 that looked perfect, sent message, "someone is on their way to look at it" so it musta sold.

In the pictures, realized it was some kind of kit.

Found kit: https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200631533_200631533


Purchased kit

Anyone ever built one of deez? I don't assume there is any issue using pine for the frame, but I also don't know any better.

I don't see why pine would be an issue.

Based on the pics from the link it looks a little low for my tastes to be considered a worktop. But you could solve that probably by putting some blocking and/or casters on the bottom of each leg.

correct, only 36 inch, will be lifting a bit

Looks like TIC will be approx $220

That's too short for a workbench. Pick a spot to put one, buy a good saw, drill and a few phillips bits, 5 lb box of 3" wood screws and a stack of 2"X6" 8' lumber and go to work building exactly what you want. Might want to buy a few 1/8" drill bits for pilot holes. Use a glass or pan of water for a level.

I've been looking for one of those toolbox/workbench


Apr 27, 2020, 9:32 AM

combo's.

You have the 5-6 drawer tool box on casters and the top is a wood table type with pegboard behind it.

I've been dual purposing the fluffer


Apr 27, 2020, 9:35 AM

but I think in another 3 or 4 years I can afford to pay both positions.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


So your fluffer has been asked to do additional duties


Apr 27, 2020, 9:38 AM

not related to the job without being compensated for additional duties?

You sir will be hearing from our fluffers union.

Good day sir.

Apr 27, 2020, 2:55 PM

Or my wiping butler? Those are completely different stains, you know.

ringofhonor-rhtig.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


These two look pretty easy to make.


Apr 27, 2020, 9:54 AM

And can be easily modified to different sizes.

GO TIGERS!!


Had less than $100 in material.


Apr 27, 2020, 11:44 AM

Granted, I already had the Pocket hole jig which is kind of pricey, but a really handy tool to have if you do any sort of woodwork.

Can I just have yours?

Apr 27, 2020, 12:48 PM

because of the reviews. You would disagree that it is hard to put together, rough edges that slice fingers off, and sags in the middle badly?

rubber mallet, this thing is easy to build. Clearly the configuration of two shorter shelves would more closely suit McLovin's needs. If I can find this unit on sale again I will buy a second one.

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-aero.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We have four of these in our garage


Apr 27, 2020, 1:13 PM [ in reply to I got one of these on sale cira ]

except we bought them from Sam's. Easy to put together by yourself. No issues.

McLovin looks himself in a closet.

Get it? You would be the tool in that case.
