Portable and Functional Work BenchI have a kreg saw horse and work table and saw that you could add a couple of 2x4’s and a top and extend it out to make a large work bench.
I don’t have a lot of room nor storage and wanted a work top that was large and had clamping ability.
i got 2 2x4’s and form ply off cuts and okumu panels as they were cheap. I needed the two as I had to rout deep grooves to place in the Track.
i laid the 2x4’s in the hooks between the two saw horses and then attached the form ply off cuts. I roughed up the tops and the lathered them with glue and placed the okumu panels on top. I screwed through from underneath and weighted the tops down.
I purchased t track from amazon and then routed grooves in so that the t track sat flush with the top surface of the work bench. I placed in, screwed and glued the t Track in. I siliconed around the T track to fill in the gaps as this table will be in the elements.
I oiled the tops and attached two wheels along 1 of the 2x4 ‘s so when I took it off I could wheel it to where I needed to store it.
its been great! I can attach stops, clamps, corner angles so I can put together all my projects. It’s very functional for my tiny workshop and provides a great space to work on.
i also made a base for my pocket hole jig that attaches using T Bolts. I think I will make one for a router table in the future.
That's certainly an impressive build, @RainbowDiY.
It's fantastic to see someone improve their tools. You've created a fabulous piece of kit there.
Many thanks for sharing.
