Assembly table - Best gluing jig ever!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 มิ.ย. 2024
- This is one of those tools where once you have it, you can’t imagine doing without it. And like most good shopmade jigs, it’s simple to build and easy to use. Nick’s assembly tables offer a flat, rigid surface that has been slotted and perforated so you can attach a clamp anywhere you need one. The table helps hold the project together and keeps the pieces and parts properly aligned while the glue cures. Not only does this simplify assembly, your project comes off the table perfectly flat, square, and true. Plans are available at workshopcompanionstore.com/pr...

And thank you so much for your time and interest!
I’ve watched a million woodworking videos and this one is up there with the best. Not for the idea, which is excellent, but for the way he presents his videos. No whacky stuff, no silly gimmicks, no ridiculous music (the speed up music is fine) and no filler. Everything to the point. Excellent. Subscribed.
Thanks and welcome. But -- full disclosure -- we get a little whacky on occasion.
@@WorkshopCompanion hahaha..
Einstein is the best out there, I agree 💯!!!... He has the best way of explaining himself!... If he was my teacher at school, I would never have gotten distracted (I suffer from ADD)... Most often he's too clever for me, therefore I watch all his videos at least 10 times!... Unfortunately I am able to like (👍) each video only once... I wish TH-cam would allow me to like and subscribe to this absolutely great channel a million times!!! 👍👍👍🏅🏆🖐️🍻
He definitely does wacky, corny jokes, but he’s cool as ice, so he pulls it off no problem.
@@frederikmare9002 If you give a thumbs up to comments, or reply to other comments it all adds up and increases the benefits to a channel.
This guy is the shop teacher I would have loved
Nick has a gift for explaining woodworking techniques. It is very useful to understand the different ways this jig can be used and modified. I love how he explains everything. I didn't understand why the slots were 6 3/4" apart versus 6".
The clamps I use most often -- bar clamps -- have a throat of 3 to 3-1/2 inches depending on the brand. So I don't let the distance between the slots extend beyond 7 inches. That way I can reach every square inch of the assembly table with the clamps I keep closest at hand. But if you want to space the slots at 6 inches -- or 5 or 4 or 3 -- you can. If all your most treasured clamps all have 5-inch throats, you can space them at 10 inches. Your call. In fact, I encourage readers to modify my jigs for their own needs. I present the jig designs on this channel as a jumping-off point.
I knew Nick was the Wizard of Wood! Seeing him magically make these tables appear just proved it😳
This man is such a legend!!
I have been watching a lot of wood working videos, and it occurs to me that I want to go and listen to all of them. Thank you sir for being the first person on u-tube to make me want that.
Good luck! Come back to us in 10 or 12 lifetimes and tell us what you learned...;-)
You are the goat Mr. Gepetto.
Congrats!!
25 yeaes ago I was an exposed (finish) timber framer when I met my wife, who was terrified of me getting hurt. So I made a shift to working for a finish carpentry/bench carpentry contractor. Not having a clue about how to work with such little and fine pieces, I picked up a book, I think it was titled the "Finish Carpenter's Handook", by Nick Engler. I learned everything I needed to know to be a successful carpenter to this day. I am so delighted to find you here, online. I have the chance to say THANK YOU NICK! You are an inspiration, a teacher and a wizard. I am grateful for all that I have learned from you!
Most welcome.
This more I watch you with the assembly table the more I learn!
I feel like you know this about yourself Nick. I feel like you're the type of guy who understands himself really well and is truly genuine. So it should come as no surprise to you that the way you spin your hammer in the intro (and the clamp in this video) is exceedingly charming.
If you don't current have any sons, I'd happy fill out an application to be one of yours.
Also, I'll be building this gluing jig.
It's late, I'm working my way through today's correspondence, and yours made me laugh. Thanks for that, and for the kind words.
You need your own syndicated television show!
I sincerely appreciate your sentiment and compliment, but TH-cam, Facebook, and other streaming media are crushing syndicated television. I was once a successful how-to author, and that career was wiped out as social media replaced print media as a way to share how-to information. Can't afford to go that route again.
I built a torsion box workbench/outfeed a few years ago. It's so nice to trust that it's deadly flat.
It's a great trick -- just used a torsion box design to make two huge doors for a barn. They came out dead flat too.
Look at the twinkle in his when he shows prying the panel off with the clamp. He’s so proud of that clever feature. Love this.
Twinkle in my...what? I love that you left that to the imagination.
Whooooooaaaaa!!!!! your the director of the Wright Brothers Aeroplane Company??? How cool is that. I have been watching your wood working videos and had no clue your an Aviator.
As always, your videos are thorough, well demonstrated, organized and easy enough for individuals like myself to follow. Your contributions to our great community is both timeless and obviously selfless. Thank you for your time and efforts, they sure aren't wasted on this individual.
My sincerest gratitude ... Cheers!! dave
I love this channel! So much useful information without the constant advertising of useless tools. Keep up the great work sir!
That's good to hear. Thanks.
Has quickly become my favorite channel. The way projects and information are presented is truly easy to understand, even for beginners.
Thank you
I want to make the interior 3 inches. Drilling 1.5 inch holes in 2 inch plywood gives me the flutters. I bought the plans. This guy is woodworking TH-cam all star.
This guy is amazing! Very enjoyable to watch, why Disney didn’t cast him to play Maurice in the live-action Beauty and the Beast is beyond me
I was drawn to watch this video as I'm at the planning stage of building my own aircraft (a Jodel D11.) I thought this jig would be ideal for setting up fuselage bulkheads and I suspect it will have a great many more uses too along the way. Thank you!
If my former life, I built replicas of historic wooden aircraft for museums, and we made many jigs like this for assembly.
Love the glue table. Keep up the good work. Have a blessed day.
Thanks. You too.
I just built this last night. Genius. I took a cabinet job never making doors before. I have all the equipment to do so just never did on a production scale. Well your jig just saved my rear end! Thank you for all of the fantastic content and making our woodworking lives a little easier! Keep the lessons coming! Thank you!
Most welcome. Glad to have been of some help.
Thankyou, I benefitted from your presentation . . . Chris . . . Norwich, England
Thank you! Newbie here needs a lot of small and big tricks like the ones you show in all your videos!
You're welcome!
What a hoot. You made me smarter and I’m pretty sure you also lowered my blood pressure.
Most impeccable work, sir.
Thanks.
Actually this is even better... thank you Nick for all you do
You're welcome. And thanks for your kind words.
Referred by Growth Rings (AKA Mr. ToolHunter). This stuff is Gold. Thanks!
Scott's a gem -- thanks for taking his advice.
This design is really great for a small shop. I've seen a lot of work bench videos but this modular design is truly unique.
Thanks for saying.
Wow. Right when I thought I was subscribed to every woodworking channel out here, I stumble on yours. I really enjoy your videos and learn a lot from them. I like this jig a lot and hope to make it soon.
Thanks for the kind words.
Very Nice Multi Functional Assembly Table. Perfect For Any Type Of Projects.
Yes, thanks
Excellent I have learnt a new way of working smarter
Made it. Love it. You deserve an award!!!
Glad to have been of help.
This is a fine example in how woodworking never gets old! Fine work indeed.
Oh, and love the music. =)
I can’t thank you enough for sharing this! This is exactly what I’ve been needing!
You're very welcome.
I watched the build a few times then I built one and plan to start using it next week when I build new kitchen cabinet doors and drawers with my Shopsmith Mark 7. I always enjoyed your sawdust sessions fro back in the day. This was a simple build but it still takes time but I know that I will find it very useful. I used up some melamine that I had and ended up with a 22 x 37 surface. Thanks for all you do!
You're welcome -- and good luck with your new kitchen cabinet doors.
Great video. I’ve used my perfectly flat SawStop table saw as my glue-up table because it’s perfectly flat. Now that I bought the plans to this jig, it will free up my table saw! Thanks for the cool tip!
You're very welcome.
This Guy HAS to be a retired wood shop teacher, if not he missed his calling lol
The title says it all!
We thought so.
I make quite a few cutting boards and have been trying to design my own gluing jig to ensure squareness and flatness. This is exactly what I've been trying to come up with. Thank you! I will be purchasing your plans immediately.
WE made the larger version when we did the cutting board video, but have since found it useful for almost everything we do.
Omg that is exactly what I need. I'm gonna make one of those for my next project. Thanks!
That's an elegant solution to an age old problem. Thanks Nick. It's on the "to build" list. That pipe clamp rack is a lovely addition. Sure beats chasing the rolly suckers around!
Thanks for saying.
That probably was the best glue up table I've ever seen thanks. Now I I have to go buy alot of "C" clamps. Whew !
Excellent fixture. Just perfect for someone with a nice workbench that doesn't have many clamping opportunities in the design.
Thanks for saying. We have three of these in our shop, and they all stay busy.
Love the simplicity and versatility of this design. I think the best part is that I could use it for a glue up and then move the whole piece to another location so I still had access to my work area for another project while the glue cures. Doing a large panel glue up causes me more dread in that I won't be able to use my work bench for several hours, rather than all the work of doing the actual glue up. Great jig Sir.
Thank you for your kind words. We have three of these (one big, two little), so we can do multiple glue-ups. We move these around constantly, our workbench remain clear, and we're always tripping over the glue-ups...;-)
@@WorkshopCompanion this makes perfect sense. It just reinforces the idea that the better you plan, the better your project will go. I will slowly start making some of these jigs, as it conveniently allows you to do more glue ups. Love it.
Great idea - very useful! You are an exceptional teacher sir!
Thanks for saying so.
Can't get enough of this guy! Excellent instructional videos ..best on TH-cam !!! Thank you so much🙏
Most welcome.
The jigg is great, but not only that you provide a handfull of useful tips on clamping and glueing.
Thanks 🤩
You're welcome.
You are 1 of a kind. A true teacher. Heck of a video
Thanks.
Wow, I need to build that asap. This guy reminds me of a mad scientist. Awesome content!
Perfect timing. I've been looking to build an assembly table for my VERY small workshop that I can store out of the way when not in use. Most of the videos out there are for workbenches that incorporate into the top, but I already have a very solid bench now. I just needed an assembly table I could use on occasion.
I just ordered the detailed plans and am going to build the perfect size for me. Good Job and thank you for the great video. Subscribed for sure.
You're most welcome...and welcome!
Very nice thank you! Another little project to build
Great job Nick! I came across your videos today and was instantly hooked. I binge watched about 10 and just subscribed so I can come back later. You sir are extremely talented. I’ve purchased a couple of your plans already. Thank you for your outstanding videos. I plan to stay tuned so don’t stop doing what you do! Cheers
Thanks for the kind words; come back often.
Nick, I built the Assembly table. Which I made a little larger than the smaller size. I have to say your design is well thought out and the table functions very well. I built the infinity clock as a Wedding present for my niece and the assembly table made that project go very well. Your plans are very well written and detailed. I now have a friend building his table after he saw mine and how well my glue ups went together. Thanks Marty
That's awesome. Thanks for the feedback.
Nick, you’re awesome. Thanks for what you do.
Most welcome.
I have been thinking about a similar design for a specific purpose. Great to see a pro like you using the same theory!! Thank you for the video!
Most welcome.
Exuding passion for woodworking excellence. Bravo!
Thanks.
I love your tips, thank you.
What a brilliant idea!
Just found this today and will incorporate these features into my next assembly table build well thought out and executed should have them in every trade school
Thank you. I originally made this for my own students.
Love how simple this is!
All the best jigs are simple. When I was writing woodworking books -- when people read to get this kind of information -- we had a rule: No jigs with more than ten wooden parts, and we worked hard to keep it under that. This comes in at nine.
Great video. I like that you started with the basics and kept adding on with all the different functions and that I didn't have to watch 5 separate videos. Thank you. Off to build my own.
Glad to be of help.
This was an excellent presentation. Wonderfully organized. I'm glad I stumbled onto this.
Thanks. Stumble back often!
Timing is everything. I see this after my built in cabinet cabinet project for the bathroom, walk in closet and hall way. Oh well, there is always the kitchen. I'll get to work.😉
Excellent video of a very useful jig. I purchased your books when they were first published and so was really happy to recently find your channel.
Thanks for watching -- and reading!
Thank you for your videos. God bless.
Brilliant Nick. Glad I found you :)
But, but, I like using the dining room table to clamp on. Lol. You did a really good job. Now I need to build one. Thanks
You're welcome. Bon appetit!
Ty so much Sr. for this incredible amount of woodworking knowledge!!!!
Most welcome.
ALL YOUR VID ARE OUTSTANDING
Sir, you are very entertaining to watch. I shal enjoy watching my way through your catalogue of exceptional work.
Sir, you are very kind to say so. Enjoy.
glad I found you! what a great resource!
We're glad you found us too!
Great idea. I am going to look for one of your books.

Great job explaining everything thank you very much
You are a true craftsman
Thank you for your kind words.
Hurray! Was just waiting for this demo and the plans. Thank you!
You're welcome -- and thanks for watching.
I never find one of those carpenter square really 90 degrees but that project is a great idea thanks 😊
Most welcome. And by the way, carpenter squares usually need to be "tuned" to make them truly square. We'll show how to do that in an upcoming vid.
Great design!!
I want one!
Great idea and your explanation was good
Awesome build.
Thanks.
You're awesome dude. Keep up the good work!
love it. fantastic presentation and decision explanations
Thanks.
Great jig to have around!
Your my new guru!
Wow NIck, this jig is super cool, portable and very practical. My small shop does not have room for a Paulk assembly workbench or a shop made version of an MFT table. Bought the plans for the jig and immediately went out for a sheet of melamine. Lost track of you after your sawdust sessions for ShopSmith. Built your drill press table many moons ago. Great to see and learn from you again. Best of success for your new website - looking forward to learning new skills and discovering new project from a master craftsman.
Good of you top say, Tom.
This is my new favorite channel, such awesome tips and tricks. Thanks for your amazing content!
Kind of you to say so.
I love your assembly table...Thanks for sharing.😉👍👍
You're most welcome.
I made one of these this weekend to help with some Door glue-ups, I will be making more of them they are a tremendous help
We have three of them in our shop and they are stay busy. Glad to have been of help.
that clock is amazing
Great ideas, great presentation & humor, really makes me want to do more woodworking, thanks for all the content!
You're most welcome.
Best presentation of woodworking videos that I've seen. I feel like you're a friendly neighbor with great skills that I have the privilege of dropping in on to gain knowledge. Thank you for being "real" and sharing your skills with the videos that you make.
Fantastic. Thank you.
GREAT Video, I will be making this Assembly TABLE soon, makes your work so much easier. THANKS
Most welcome.
Really nice!
THANX. FOUND YOU NOT LONG AGO AND I'M VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT. I LIKE THE WAY YOU EXPLAIN STUFF AND YOUR JOYFULNESS DOING SO. AND THIS JIG IS A BEAUTY.
Thank you for saying so.
Honestly this is wonderful. Thank you.
Most welcome.
Brilliant. Thank you.
Most welcome.
I'm wanting to know where have you been all of my life. You do an awesome job on explaining things.
Thanks.
Practical invaluable content I like that you have shared your knowledge in such a straightforward way so thanks and I've liked and subscribed👍🏼👍🏼 Two thumbs up!
Thanks...and welcome!
I first noticed this jig when you made the cube clock a few videos back -it looks very useful
More than useful. It's become almost essential for some on the things we do here.
Awesome clamping table. It would solve a lot of problems great job
Thanks.
