Why a Torsion Box?
A Torsion Box is a method to create a table top that cannot bend, flex, or warp in any way. And above all else to be perfectly flat. And that’s really it. The ultimate goal is simply to have an unchanging laser-flat surface.
This table is a request from several of my Patreon members and followers of the channel. It is multi-purpose and completely upgradable.
When I first put videos on TH-cam, many asked me if I had a video of my old torsion box assembly table. I didn’t since it was created long before I ever brought a camera into my shop. I politely said no, but the questions never stopped, and eventually I decided that this is a must do project. And probably the most requested project I’ve ever done. I sent out some feeler questions to see what people would like to see. And I tried to combine all of those with my thoughts and create something that could take on many sizes. And in fact I did design this in 3 different table sizes with full plans for each. A Full Size 4’ x 8’ Table, A Mid-Size 3-1/2’ x 7’ Table, and A Smaller 3’ x 6’ Table. Each table has the identical set of functions, but of course the drawer count and size goes down on the smaller units.

Thank you for the invite , Mr. King, i have pushed the buttons so we will see if i pushed the right buttons,I look forward to any info i may gain with this group. have a nice evening.
How about plans in Metric ......Please so I can buy the plans from you.
Hi Jaques, you need them in mm? If I get time I could make the conversions. I just usually don’t because it is so time consuming.
Sorry if I spell something wrong english is not my first lanuage.Do understand that this must take huge amounts of time to do video's and editing and then a guy" me" Looking for the plans in metric.Think if you make them in metric also available you can make more money seeing that it is almost only the US and some countries still using the imperial messurement system.Thank you for your quike response.If you can it will be nice if not I will see and make a plan.All the best to you and your team.
King's Fine Woodworking Father’s Day sale
Very nice project. Looked solid and strong.
Also pleased to see American craftsmen using Robertson screws more and more.
this warms my heart seeing your daughters doing woodworking !!!!! and what a great build !!
Beautiful girls James, I would have driven anything to be able to spend time with my dad working together. I'm also happy to see other women enjoying Woodworking. Wish I could have done this as a young women.
Thank you! We actually have 5 daughters and they all enjoy woodworking. It’s been really nice being able to work with them every day. It’s a dream job.
Love you table and your two daughters and two sons work well with you nice to see families working together well done
>> Neil from South Australia
Beautiful family,beautiful work bench,beautiful knowledge of woodworking.
You are very kind. Thank you!
Seeing kids involved is super cool
Hello James, I realize that you have posted these videos many months ago but I wanted you to know that I have used them to instruct my student remotely during this pandemic. I wanted to thank you for making very user friendly videos that I could share with my students without worrying about anything inappropriate. You are a class act. I'm glad your daughters play an active role in your shop. I have a mixed group of students as well and the girls ussually pay more attention to details than the guys. Thanks again.
"If you're new here, yes, that IS the right amount of glue." Love it. Every one of your projects makes me want to head out to my shop and build something.
You are very kind. Thank you!!
I showed that part to my wife, she tells me that I'm using too much glue.
Watching your videos are better than watching a movie, your attention to detail is impressive
Those legs are so strong, well done
Recently re-watched this and wanted to comment: Excellent explanation of use of strongback and of how to make the torsion box. Thank you.
Just bought the plans. Going to give it a try.
I don’t think it’s cheating to make the bridle joints like this . It’s fast and efficient . It is a beautiful and functional piece of cabinetry . Bravo James et al.
After watching your videos my wife is now doing woodworking with our 3 girls because of you keep up the great work
Hi Paul! That is so awesome! Thank you for telling us. And tell her and your girls hello from all of us! My wife & I have 5 daughters. And we all love making things. 😁👍🏻
paul maguire that’s fantastic. I hope someday my kids will take in interest in woodworking, come work in my shop, so I can teach them what I know.
Just purchased the plans and am looking forward to this project.
Awesome! Thank you!
I normally have issues with either the design of something or how it's put together, but this beast is one of very few things I've seen where I can't disagree with any aspect of it! Very impressive. I personally prefer to not use pocket holes but I also have a Domino, so I'm lucky there. I have avoided figuring out what I'll do for a proper bench when I move my old small shop into the new big one I'm building because I didn't think I'd find anything I'd really like and would have to design my own. But you've fixed that, so expect a plans purchase from me!
Can’t wait to settle down and be able to make something like this
Hi Forrest, it sure was a fun build!
Nice bench. Also great seeing a family working together.
What I like is you're passing your knowledge along to your children. Good job
Wow everyone ! The bench looks awesome with all the Purple Heart accents and the vises plus. Little add ons I’m looking foward to many. New projects and videos with you guys using it despite being a fan of your channel and not a chauvinistic guy i still get a kick out of brightly painted fingernails Using a tablesaw and other. Woodworking tools James i envy you a great deal as my daughter showed very little interest in my Woodworking growing up i do have a younger son that did like to. Be with me and help on many projects today he is a grown man and is quite handy although he chose to work in the computer industry as his living he has always had general construction and Woodworking to fall back on if he needed to earn a living or extra money i of course never forced my daughter to Work with me. As she was the type of child that was happy reading books and has really turned out to be a very smart and successful Woman, wife , and Mother as well as educating children. For her career choice
Brilliant architectural thinking. Kudos!
Great video! Love how you have the whole family working together.
Thanks for teaching your girls the basic skill for men and women and how to be independent.
Just opened this up. That is a vise to kill for. My god, purpleheart!
Love seeing your helping hands. You have a great voice for video. Nice workbench!
Fantastic work table/storage. I really enjoy the fact you have your family working so well together and learning the tricks of the trade from such an expert. This is something they will be able to use the rest of their lives. Another excellent video and teaching tool for the rest of us too. Thank you.
Thank you very much!
Congratulations! You're a blessed man to have the family working together. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. I certainly am very lucky to get to spend such time with my family.
Thank you and your family
You proved that there is no nicer teamwork
Thank you from the heart
Thank you for such a kind comment.
I'm a big fan of pocket hole joinery, to. Easy, strong, fast, and doesn't require jigs or lots of experience to make anything. It's a lot harder to set up a dovetail jig! Great ideas I can use, even if I don't build the exact cabinet you show. I have about ten but twelve foot space for my workshop so some of these will work great! Thanks again!
Your videos are great. I like your narrative and how clear your descriptions are. I also like how you include your family, that adds class to your videos.
Thank you. That’s very kind.
Beautiful and useful...bought the plans.
Mr. King, i have been watching your you tube videos for the last few months, you are a detailed wonder and easy to understand, this project is amazing video, can't wait to see the rest. Great job to you and your family, even the photo bomber helper. To see a family working together is more of what the world needs. I am a Golden, resident would really like to shake your hand some time and quiz you on some wood topics. Keep it going my neighbor.
Hello! Thank you very much! I’m surprised to see so many woodworkers here from Colorado. Are you in our Facebook group? We try to hold get together every so often. We’d love to meet you at one.
nicer than my new kitchen cabinets. Maybe I should haven called you for them. I would have had to reinforce my house to support extreme kitchen cabinets of course. Lol. Great job James and family!
I love building kitchen cabinets, haha. I did that professionally for a long time. Thank you for your kind comments.
Really enjoyed this build! As soon as I get my space built. I think this bench will be one of the first pieces I build for my maker space. Thank for sharing! Eagerly awaiting the next video.
Hi Scott, Thank you!
Built like a tank! Was need to watch. I wish I had room in my shop for something like this , maybe I might be able to squeezes in the 3x6 one, my only personal gripe is I miss the nerdy t-shirts but this is just because I am a big nerd.
Thank you! I think the girls miss those too, haha.
As always what a fantastic job James & Family
Thanks Andrew.
James- wonderful! I am on my third view as it is so informative. But I also want to say how wonderful it is to see your family (direct and extended) helping out. I grew up in a family that always worked with Dad on all sorts of things. He wasn't a woodworker- but he taught us gardening, cooking and lots of other stuff. Keep up the wonderful job you are doing and kudos to the family for their participation!
Hi Joe! Thank you so much for all the kind words!
I really find your videos interesting in many aspects. I find the TEAM work really valuable and I'll encourage you to engage in referencing that, the TEAM work in your videos. Many times you speak in singular, when it would be better if you speak in PLURAL, WE did this, WE made this..as is not only you making, are your talented girls also part of the TEAM. Keep up the good work!
Hi Oscar. You are so correct. I have a very bad habit of saying that I did something when, in fact, it was not me. Thank you for pointing that out. I will try very hard in the future to say "We". My daughters are all very talented woodworkers and I am enormously proud of them.
~James
Great, James! Your videos are amazing and they show how collaborative work can make things happen. Many Woodworkers TH-camrs work on their own, you are one of the exceptions and having that Team work, makes everything different, that's something you can further 'exploit' for your channel. I'm really sure your kids feel proud of being part of an amazing team. Again, keep up the great work! have a great day'
I want it!....never mind that I have no room for it and could use only 33.3% of its capability.
Thanks for your great videos. I've learned so many useful tips and tricks from your site.
Your videos are amazing. You do a wonderful job of explaining. It’s great your entire family helps. I think you have some of the best woodworking videos on TH-cam. Keep up the great work.
Hi Don. Thank you!
Tell the kid the blue looks good but would look better with pink or purple highlights :) Thanks for finally sharing this table, we are going to be moving soon so need ideas for a table once I actually get a garage vs my basement shop.
Haha, I’ll tell her!
The horrible thing about such an amazing build video like this....waiting for the next video to finish the build. Love the video and cant wait to see the next one on how you finish the build!!! Well done King family!
Thank you so much! We are working diligently. :-)
Awesome! This thing is built like a tank and I'm sure it will last for a long, long time. You guys always do great work.
Thank you Mike!
Awesome i hope i can see at the next up-grading.
As a gear head, it's great to see your daughters involved in the trade...Many a dads would love that...Keep up the quality work.
You've got plenty of cute children, and they are all woodworkers. You're a blessed man!
I do feel very blessed. Thank you for such kind comments.
This is the woodworking equivalent of Make It Extreme.
Haha, thank you very much.
Great job. I love the pocket screws. I do it 3 too 5 different ways. Tennons, dovetails, etc. Very Nice. Need more cameos of the Girls doing the woodwork. Backup and get them in the whole picture. Women can do! You are a inspiration.
Excellent table design and construction - excellent video production too.
Thanks Randy!
All I have to say about this project is WOW!
WOW, I've never seen anything like this . I HAVE GOT TO HAVE ONE OF THEES.
Nice start. That is pretty much bomb proof. I just started rebuilding my shop. We moved 6 months ago and I finally built my mitresaw station. I reused my old kitchen cabinet carcasses. Saved a lot of time and plywood. Not finished yet, but got a good start.
Awesome! My very first Miter Station was old kitchen cabinets. That is a fantastic use for them!
King's Fine Woodworking this is my second, my first was built from scratch. We just renovated our kitchen, so I kept whatever lower cabinets I could. I’ll build all new drawers, i just don’t have the space or time right now. It’s a hobby and a work in progress.
Gladious789 you can buy a oak kitchen cabinet set cheap. Sand down and refinish. I would get orders for 5 others then sell pre fab units to pay for my own unit.
Love the photobombs!
This is a beautiful build. We were starting to worry! Love all you do!
Hi Debra. We got very backed up on a large custom order. But we are getting back on track now. Thank you!
Definitely a strong table. Great job James
Thank you very much.
Nice work! Super heavy duty, excellent!
Hi, thank you very much!
Wow. Massive, Gargantuan, and Sweet. Thanks for the video. I await the next installment.
Hi Bert. Thank you!
James, you and your family do great work. I am building the 8 foot table, and I think the I-beam concept is ingenious. I originally thought I would build a lesser table but after having watched this video I am going to do my best to duplicate it. The boards for the leg structures are cut and ready for glue up!
YES! I've been waiting for this. Thank you James. Thank your whole hard working family.
Thank you! Sorry it took forever. We have been so busy.
Sturdy like a war bunker! Wow!
Size as desired, completely scalable, big, beautiful project!
Absolutely eternal!
Thank you very much!
Great project ! James and your family kind regards from Italy !!
Hi Ken! Thank you!
Glue... smear it every where. I got bored one day and glued two of my kids together. Ahhhhhhh, great days; happy days.
Hahaha!!!
GREAT WOODWORKING TABLE ...
WHAT A FINE WORK 👏👏👏👏👏
Awesome project and great team work James and family. Looking forward to part two. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Phil. I should have the next one out in a few days.
it's very professional to me，good work，good professional tools and good family.
Thank you!
I agree 100%, pocket hole joinery is a great method for joining two pieces of wood together, especially shop projects like this. Despite what purists might say, if you’re cutting, shaping and joining wood together into a shape, it’s woodworking. Doesn’t matter how you do it. Keep up the good work. I really like the design of this assembly/outfeed table.
I just discovered your channel last night. I am enjoying all your projects. Thanks
Glad to see another video. Missed them!
Thank you Brady!
Your descriptions of the various steps is excellent. Anyone should be able to easily build one of these tables in their shop with help. It’s amazing how much instruction and the quality level of the instruction you provide free to TH-cam viewers. Thanks.
Thank you Don! That is very kind!
I envy all the really nice clamps you have. They are worth the investment though and make glue ups less agrevating. Im slowly doing away with pipe clamps
Dear James,
This is one very gargantuan work bench but very nicely built in terms of load bearing quality as well as aesthetically. I wait with great trepidation to see the final outcome. Kind regards.
Thank you very much. It’s been a while. I hope all is well with you.
Dear James,
Thank you very much for your courteous & hearted reply, more importantly for inquiring about my well being. Actually my well being was & is still fine; the issue was not me rather the lack of internet services due to poor customer service from my provider. I am glad to report that now all is well & dandy (for how long, I just don't know!!!). It's already been the second time this year alone. Hope to see more of you & fine crew very soon. Kind regards to all.
Many thanks James. All the very best. Kind regards.
Great build, looking forward to the torsion box top.
Thank you!
Beautiful
Your full on beast mode, true craftsmanship 🤙🏽
What a great project King family !
Kudos to all involved.
Thank you Matt!
Hello James
I love your channel, you explain everything so clearly and well. I am a novice, but these vlogs are so inspiring.. yours is one of the best, if not the best on TH-cam.
I am from the UK, and I don’t think that some of the hardwoods that you use are not so readily available over here, or are incredibly expensive.
I am watching to discover which are the best tools , over here there are some diy stores with their own brands of power tools, but they really are garbage. We are always better saving up for recognised brands.
Keep up the good work
After having watched about 50 (or what feels like it) Torsion box top videos by about 30 different channels... Your videos on this are the absolute best one for me and what I'm looking to build. Plus they're the most informative as well. Just got my 4 x 8 plans and my new hammer is almost here as well :)
Thanks again for so much great info! Next project is going to be that outdoor bench after the assembly table is built up.
JAMES, BY FAR, THE MOST FUNCTIONAL WELL THOUGHTOUT BENCH I HAVE EVER SEEN! THANK YOU.
That is very kind John. Thank you!
Thank you James, totally worth it the time waiting for your video!!!
That is very kind. Thank you!
My first thought then the girls started spinning that workbench around was "That's one hell of a bench!'
Well Done!
Hi Peter. Thank you!
Beautiful bench! It gives me a lot of ideas for my workbench! The only thing I might have done differently is added some cutouts to the torsion box inserts near the sides so I could put in clamps horizontally and clamp to the sides rather than just the top or bottom. Though you have some really nice clamps on there, you might not need that ability.
Thank you! and great idea!
I see that you have a metal lathe in your shop. If you haven't already found Tom Lipton's channel yet, it is called Oxtool, he is a fantastic teacher and is very knowledgeable in machining and fabrication. You should check out his channel. One of Tom's montras is "Nothing overbuilt ever failed!". I love your builds, there are overbuilt and awesome!
Great part one, looking forward to part two. Glad to see you have not got on the band wagon of using sped up footage montages, I really dislike those.
Thank you Thomas!
You are most welcome.
Thank you for the great video I will be using some of the tip you gave
Hi James (and other family members). You folks are wonderful, very informative and helpful, not to mention a friendly and happy channel with relatively low trolling. Most of the projects , while beautiful and great examples of woodworking skills, for me personally are out of my reach at this point as a relative newb. If you are looking for suggestions for future vids, I might suggest something that takes off from your basic woodworking 101 series, and shows how to move from just tool knowledge and collecting tools, to a more project oriented mode that gets folks over the hump of making that transition. That may not be the direction you want to take things, and that’s ok too, as I will still enjoy and learn from whatever you put out. Best regards to you all, Dave.
Hi Dave. Thank you for the recommendation. I do intend to do exactly that with the Woodworking 101 series. I plan on having a number of fairly simple projects beginning with a basic work table/bench. That will be in lesson 4 which will hit in about two weeks.
You guys always do excellent work, thank you for sharing.
Wow james it's an amazing bench I'd be afraid off using it beautiful workmanship
Thank you my friend!!
take this table to a woodworking museum...
I order 3D received all he included links for all hardwere you need and material. Recomend 100% this family. Thank you for great work
Excellent design. The bench is built like an aircraft carrier and will last many years.
BTW. I am totally in agreement about using more than enough glue. Glue is our friend. It is inexpensive, It is strong. It is reliable. And if you talk to it nicely and get it to know you as a person, it will never set up too quickly -- or so I have heard.
Great project. I enjoy watching everyone work together. It reminds me of my dad's cabinet shop. All hands on deck!
Best regards...
Hi Jerry. Thank you for such a nice comment. We all enjoy working together as well. I don't often share this, but I am in fact a glue whisperer.
You are, indeed, a man of many gifts.
Love your work mate
I am learning heaps from your work.
Take care and all the best
Buying the plans tonight, and getting started soon. Will make a great addition to the one i have now!!! Thanks!! Great job as usual
Hi Jed! Thank you very much! Maybe you could send photos of the Assembly Table if you build it.
King's Fine Woodworking yes i will absolutely do that. It will take some time with all the other household projects going on, but i will be sure to get the whole process. Thanks so much!
That’s it, I’m moving to the USA, every time that you mentioned costs I got so envious, here in the U.K. everything you said is basically “x 10”, you are so lucky, great video as always...
Oh, that's terrible your costs are so high...
Great video as always. I just purchased the Bosch miter saw that you have. I love it.
Thanks for all your ideas!!!! I made a small 2'x4' torsion box based you this video. Works Great
James and family this is so awesome! You all are great. I can’t wait to see this person. I’ll definitely be building this when I have room!!
Thanks Shaun! And thanks for watching!
Another great build James and family! 👍 Looks like I'll be getting some plans now! 😁 Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much Bill. If you have any questions during the build, just let me know, I am happy to help.
love the giant wood vise
Before I watch this video, I just want to express what a master craftsman you are. I don't know how long or how you learned to do what you do, but I'm envious and wishing to learn a bit/lot from you.
Very nice bookshelf.
I see Titebond loves you. I saved thousands a year, by getting rid of Titebond. Not so much because it is too expensive, but it really wastes a massive amount of time. Consider getting in contact with a company called Würth ans get some of their D3 and quick drying furniture glue. You will cut your production time massively. And, whilst on the topic of trying new things out, get yourself a Pica pencil. They need regular sharpening, which isn’t a problem with the built in sharpener, but you can draw a super fine line, making it easy to do really accurate work. Hope that helps.
