The Best Torsion Box Assembly Table

Remember the last video where I built a cabinet to go under my Husky Adjustable Workbench? In this video I build a torsion box assembly table to go on top.
CNC work by Tum Tum Workshop in Portland, Oregon:

Nice tip about mr plywood, I’ll have to check them out for this, thanks! I’m also in the pdx area.

Ok this is a great video!! Perfect table and very creative!!! I will be making something similar. Thank you for your videos.

Great job. I love seeing the creativity others with small shops come up with to maximize workflow efficiency. Subscribed.

[@GregsWorkshopOregon]

Thank you! I have some other good small shop stuff coming up.

Thanks Greg! Killer table.

[@GregsWorkshopOregon]

Thank you! It's working out really well for me so far.

Nice work Greg. I haven’t been able to take time to watch vids for several weeks, and it always pains me to see your notification and not get to view it. Keep up the good work!

[@GregsWorkshopOregon]

Thank you! I haven't had time to make videos for several weeks, hoping to start up again soon.

8:18 this what I've been wondering the whole time I'm preparing to build the same torsion / dog hole top - what to do when debris and fasteners fall inside!

Great job on this I wish you made a video on the cabinet work under the husky table but mine has 2 drawers under it. I have the same table and neve thought of doing what you did under yours. Ty

[@silverbackag9790]

Just take drawers off. The tables are same except one comes with the drawers. The drawerless model still has the holes for the drawers. Same same.

Nice table adaptation! I had been thinking about doing something like this for several months, so it was great to see you accomplish this. I think I have an add on that would add stability and rigidity to the top. Have you created plans for the table base and top? thanks, and again, nice job.

[@jeanginomiele7690]

Love it. I have the same Husky table, and have been thinking about something like this. Why not also cut openings in the sides to accommodate clamps? Thanks!

[@GregsWorkshopOregon]

That would work well!

[@MrTresto]

Cool build.
Note: another option for 20mm x 96mm grid holes is to get a parf system and have the holes done with that. It costs more than $150 (I think 200-something) and takes an hour or two, but the results are pretty much the same and you can reuse the system, so if ever you make two tops the cost is under 150 (+ time of course), if you make a third one a couple years down the line, it's under 100, etc. With the satisfaction of having made it yourself.

[@GregsWorkshopOregon]

I'm with you on that, the problem is that I never trust myself to get everything perfectly square

[@codelicious6590]

Wouldnt higher density MDF be called, "HDF"?

[@GregsWorkshopOregon]

Haha, you'd think so.

[@piercec2046]

What’s the cost for the machining of the top?

[@GregsWorkshopOregon]

I think it was $150, but I would imagine that's going to vary quite a bit.

[@dionisyj]

Why didn't you cut the holes in the sides rather than the bottom? If you used the holes in the sides, you would have a place to put your tools while using this table top

[@GregsWorkshopOregon]

The sides aren't quite tall enough to cut holes big enough for my hands and still have enough material to keep it strong. When I'm using it I have benches on either side of it to set tools on (outfeed table and miter saw station).
