Hooked on Wood workbench!

I am making the second version of my workbench. This is


pretty much the same as my first version, but with this
version, I will increase the stability.

My tabletop is made of Full colored MDF. This is not


comparable to standard MDF. It looks most like
Valchromat, but this is cheaper.

In the Netherlands, this is widely available.

My new workbench is ready and I will upload the video


after my summer break. This plan is how I made my new
workbench!

I am making a video about the process of building this


workbench. Together with this plan, it should be easy to
make this workbench.

These drawings are only for an impression and the


measurements are only roughly. So you have to keep that
in mind.

If you have questions, feel free to ask!

3D drawings are from: Jonathan Keswick,


Thanks you very much!
Best regards,

Hooked On Wood

Step 1. Table top!

The table top is 1800 mm x 800 mm and made of 18mm black MDF

At the front, this is 400 mm deep.

step 2. Table top!

At the inside I put 82mm high 18mm plywood against the back site
and 40 mm high against the side of the front. This is because of the
dogholes (see picture)

I planned to make 3 crossbars from plywood, but I ended up to make


them from 20mm MDF.

At the short sides I put some short crossbars (2 x 18mm) these are
150 long.

Step 3. Table top!

I put a 220 mm plywood around the inside of the table


top as shown in the drawing above. I did this to get
maximum torsion stability. I do not want to close the
bottom because if something falls in the dogholes you
want the possibility to get it.

Step 4. Connecting the chassis

I place the chassis against the front plate.

At the other site I leave at least an overhang of 80mm.

If you want a Bessey clamp to place fully under the table top,

You need a overhang of 90mm
