  • Have you ever seen those adjustable height workbenches at Home Depot? They’re a great option for a home shop and add a multitude of storage possibilities if you build a cabinet to go underneath. In this video I’ll show you my design for a storage cabinet that can be easily modified for any of the lengths of table available.

    Great job! With lumber prices as they are, I've got to seriously consider modding a steel store-bought base. Thanks for keep'n it real...if you haven't Kregged anything backwards, you're just not living.

    I love the way your bench comes out. One piece of advice when routing out a channel for t-track is to make multiple passes. That way, your router bit isn't bogged down and will make a cleaner up. It's okay to sneak up on the depth measurement, just like when you are carefully sanding to a line. Hope this helps!

      You are correct, I should have made more shallow passes.

    I have a basement shop and one of the several drawbacks is the low ceiling. Really glad your video popped up because the adjustable table would be asset and it had not occurred to me. It should have, though, because I have used an old hospital bed "feeding table?" for in/outfeed support for years and the height adjustment concept has been right in front of me the whole time. Wish I had been born smart instead of pretty.

      Glad you found the video useful! It's been a great table for me.

    I love the work bench build. 👍🏻👍🏻 We all make mistakes, that's how we get better at what we're doing.
    I just subscribed. Looking forward to more.

    Hey Greg, I am in the middle of copying your work. If you get a chance, can you please give me the dimensions of your two side panels? I have the bottom cut and ready to go. I know I can get it close but want to make sure. Thank you

    I am trying to make an almost identical system, but I have gotten stumped on one thing! You mention “3/8in flat head machine screws” to bolt the base of the cabinet to the metal legs… but I can’t find that size anywhere. All I can find of 3/8” are hex bolts, lag bolts, and carriage bolts. If I were to use a hex bolt and washer, and counter sink to make it flush, I would take half of the plywood thickness just to do it.
    How did you make it flush? It is kind of breezed over and barely shown for a second or two at a distance. Do you have links to the hardware you used for mounting the cabinet to the leg?

      You're looking for something like this. The top of the head is flat, the underside is cone shaped.

    Thanks for posting this build. I have the adjustable Husky bench with two shallow drawers. Your idea will solve several "small shop" issues.

      Glad I could help. The adjustable table is a great foundation for a small shop.

    what a great idea. I have the husky 2-drawer version and was trying to come up with a similar idea. Thank you so much for posting this video.

    Great workbench modification? How would a table top of 4’ x 8’ work with this type of setup? Is there a frame out there somewhere that will work?

    • @GregsWorkshopOregon
      @GregsWorkshopOregon  ปีที่แล้ว

      I think 4x8 might be a little wide, you'd have a hard time keeping it stable on the outer edges since the underlying table is only 2' wide.

    Really well done! I’ve been meaning to make a new work bench, and this has given me some great ideas. Thanks!

      Thank you! I'm pretty happy with it, it's probably my favorite shop project so far.

    Interesting. I have a few of these table and I’ve just upgraded the wheels. How do you think it would work to attach the wheels through the plywood bottom directly into their threaded holes, so I wouldn’t have to get different casters that mount directly to the plywood.

    • @GregsWorkshopOregon
      @GregsWorkshopOregon  ปีที่แล้ว

      It would probably work well assuming the threaded end is long enough to fully engage the threads in the table leg. You might be limited in the thickness of plywood that would go under the table.

    THATS AWESOME!!!! i just bought this same bench to use as a cutting board/ vac pack station / island in my home (single guy didnt wanna buy a pre made island )and was tryin to picture how to add storage underneath!!! This answers my question perfectly GREAT JOB!!!! THANK YOU!

    • @GregsWorkshopOregon
      @GregsWorkshopOregon  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Glad you found it useful! You could probably use better plywood and finishing for household use but I was seriously considering getting a smaller one for a kitchen island.
