Looking for Plans for work tables

Metal, wood, PVC ?? What kinda surface on top ?? Do you want it on wheels ?? Fold down ?? Are you vonna build it or have it built ?? Need more than just...... I want a table.

The drawers at the bottom would be annoying, youd always be kicking them and theyd catch dirt. Recess in the legs and bottom so when youre reaching across the table your feet can go under and you dont bust your shins.
Same goes for the bins at the end, dirt catcher and youd always be knocking them off. The end of the table is about useless with them there.

 

lol, don't add them?

 

casters that stick out, dumbest thing ever. how can you not trip on them 100 times a day.

that table looks like it was designed by someone who doesn't actually work...like an engineer or something

 

ddarlak, did you watch the video? Those casters come off. It is for moving the bench.
And he was asking for information for plans to build a bench.
The plans for that bench is solid all the other ship don't add. And the stuff you do want add.

My bench doesn't have all at stuff on it but I am not a woodworker I am a sign guy I have stuff on it for a sign guy.
LOL, man this is a tough crowd I can see why people don't like helping other people. So where are your plans?

 

wooden table

 

That table looks too overdone.. just a simple table with one middle shelf works very well.

 

This style is for major or light work 8' long by 3' or 4' wide you can use bottom for sh elf

 

Your sketches show how artistic you are. Nice plan.

 

The all time best tables I've had were the simplest. Get a 3'x8' banquet table at Staples or some such and scew a sheet of MDO to the top of the table. If you want bigger than 4x8 MDO comes in a couple of larger sizes. Put on a cutting mat held down with a bit of banner hem tape. Cheap, easy, and fast. I've been using a couple of these for the past 15 or so years. Still perfectly flat. If you need casters you can pop the caps of the banquet table legs and replace them with casters. I have one on casters and one not.

 

I just said that its a shin buster because we have a work table that is not recessed on the bottom. It sucks. Even look at your cabinets at home, the bottom has a recessed toe kick so you can get right up to it. Why not just use casters with brakes? My criticism isnt aimed at you, its the the typical laziness that comes from the Walmart of hardware stores. They have the brain power and resources to do better than this.

 

Never mind the tables where can I get a worker like the one in the video?
Seems like someone who gets stuff done.

 

I put the same castors on my 2 tables as what is used in the video, they are expensive but awesome, the problem with standard locking castors is the even when locked, there is some wiggle in the table. With these castors, when the table is stationary the wheels are completely off the ground and the table acta like a normal sturdy table, but you can put the wheels down in seconds and move it around, really is the best of both worlds.

Also, I have yet to bump into or hot them with my shins.

 

Thank you player!

 

I like Johnny Best's plan. So much so I built basically same thing 8 years ago using 2X6' and those no-split screws used for mounting ledger boards for decks. Guttering on sides, Harbor freight castors. Made mine 5X9 to fit limited shop space. Have two similar smaller tables same height I can butt up for larger surface.

 

saw horses and MDO.

 

I realize you already have your table built but for anyone else, when looking at casters, there are "total-locking casters" which stops the wiggle of the table as it locks the spinning feature of the caster as well as the wheel. We found these when building our tables and they work great.
