    It wasn't done though. I still needed to finish some details to make it even better. I created a French Cleat holder for my table saw, modified my scroll saw to be clamped anywhere, built a French Cleat large paper roll holder, added electrical outlets, and most importantly, built a comfy swivel seat that slides out when in use and hides away when not in use. The seat really makes this a unique workbench. Enjoy!

    I've had the chance to use this table a couple of times now. It's fun to whip out in front of people:) I can see what people are talking about when they say the legs are delicate, but they're design to support a "mostly" vertical load, not be torqued from the side or pushed back into place. If you just let the table open or close on it's own and don't force anything, it works great czcams.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh Once it's set up, it's pretty solid. My only gripe would probably be related to the clamps provided. They're not the highest quality. They do the job, so no big deal, but they could be better. All in all, pretty cool gadget.

    A suggestion - Attach a dolly wheel to the bottom of the stool to ensure it does not fail in the future. Those slides will eventually fail with extended use.

    • @timderks5960
      @timderks5960 Před 3 lety +14

      How would that work? With any attachment directly under the stool, it can't slide in nearly as far as it needs to. Also, it would pretty much ruin the soft puzzle mats he uses. What's the advantage of buying a wheel that reduces how good your workbench is, if you can also just buy new slides in a couple of years? You may even be able to just flip the slides around side to side if they start sagging. It's not like they're going to be extended often, so the only real wear they could have is sag. It'll be many years before those things wear down, so it's just not worth adding a wheel underneath it.

    would recommend that you update the seat so the 4x4 piece under the seat is longer and extends towards the floor but just short, so when the seat flexes when you are sitting the lower "Leg" piece touches the floor and make the seat more stable and help prevent your sliders from bending or pulling out screws. you could even add adjustable rubber foot ( screw type) to the "Leg" so you can adjust the flex amount.

They support up to 400 lbs a piece.

    You could add a fold-out foot on the bottom of the swivel stool to support you when you sit on it and take some stress off the drawer slides. You can build it so it folds up when you slide the chair in and drops out when you pull the chair out.

    I'm currently building a shop in a tiny 12x13 shed. Your bench looks near perfect for the lil space! Thanks for making the video!!

    The best workbenches are the ones that work just for you.

    You are so clever the way you design and build the workbench! Amazing indeed.
