A MAN CAVE Workshop Table in 5 Minutes | Aluminum Extrusion Workshop

[@onelastmarine]

I'm looking into building a modular gaming desk right now and I want to thank you for the ideas and knowledge I found in this video I have some design changes to make now that I know of all these other connectors like how you bolted the tabletop to the frame.

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

glad to have helped…

[@onelastmarine]

My local supplier wanted like 1800 per desk 60 * 30 might as well buy a secret labs desk lol ​@@TheAluminumCarpenter

U can get many types of designs from our range of workbenches. I’ve listed most of them on the website already. This should save you a lot of money. Thealuminumcarpenter.com

Korean chill out music is perfect to watch with this.

[@thezfunk]

Just wish aluminum extrusion wasn't so freaking expensive

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

I cannot agree enough.

[@Curious_Skeptic]

The exact reason it's not worth it for workshops. I think it is an awesome way to build 'industrial' looking office desks and such. Then, it becomes a value! For the shop? Cheap lumber 2x4, 2x6, 4x4s, and some ply? Not doing anything stronger or better than that! By the time you properly cross brace your legs, the cost just keeps going up and up on metal. Looks like fun to work with though. On my bucket list of materials to try!

[@MrFreddiew1]

This is a really neat build. Isel-Automation do some great flat aluminium profile for workbench work surfaces with T-Slots at different spacings. You can fix tools to the worktop and still adjust the position later and the profiles are much lighter than wood.

[@onlycharlotte]

Luv the simplicity look & its durable structure

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

Thanks again Charlotte!

That was awesome. It gave me an idea on how to build a kitchen Island that my wife has been asking for. Still, I'm unsure on how to get started. Any suggestions? Thanks Ken

[@patrickschardt7724]

For the tabletop brackets, get the brackets placed and then mark the hole locations on the table underside. Then remove the table and drill/tap. Easier than flipping the table Looks great

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

Great advise! 🙏 will do that!

[@garybecker4490]

Nice. id like the links to the rails, stops and fences from your cutting and router stations

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

Thanks. Means alot to me and us.

[@royr327]

@@TheAluminumCarpenter It appears that it does not mean enough to you (to me and us) to provide any links to @garybecker4490 though.

[@alexgilbert2272]

What size extrusion did you use for the legs? Great video 🥳

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

3030 size.

[@jpgomez6649]

Thanks for the video and not making it painfully long.

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

Thanks for watching!

Excellent work. Subsicrbed 👍

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

Thanks for the sub!

[@gab882]

Always curious, how do you put back the inner "railings" properly when unscrewing, disassembling and moving houses? Is there an alignment tools for that?

[@crodles]

would it be strong enough if you didnt have that giant lip at the front? or move it more to the middle so you sit with legs touching the wood instead of metal? or you could make it like half the size, also in my scenario i would use it as a desk

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

Its Kelvin’s required design. His weight requirements. I made it for him accordingly. You are right in all your scenarios, it just depends on the user.

[@TheDragonfriday]

What is this 3d model you use? If i get it does it come with those models so i can get right away making stuff or i got to sources them myself

[@Therealabedjoud]

Hello! Amazing work! I am kind of curious though, is it better if you put the horizontal support beams the way you did, or on top of the legs where the weight and the support beams are completely perpendicular to the table legs rather than the load being parallel to the legs? I've seen it being done both ways, but I don't know which way is better.

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

Thanks. Yep, thats a question i get alot. My way in the video is better. Multiple reasons into this method.

[@jribolla]

@@TheAluminumCarpenter Of you don’t mind describing why, I’d love to learn. Basic physics would suggest that putting them on top of the legs would be better. I understand that there is often more to things than the most basic answer and I’m curious about what the relevant concepts are here. Thanks!

[@fernandoiturbidecortes2946]

Amazing video, which software did you use to make the CAD model?

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

Thanks 😊 shapr3d is the software.

[@hinduspl]

Is 3060 strong enough for 160x90 worktable? Especially center part, so it doesnt bend in time?

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

Yes

[@diegomoreno7440]

You think this same setup works for a 2.40*1.60 cutting table?

[@seymourecarnage]

Great video! What is the approximate weight capacity on a bench of this size, and is there an easy and practical way to add casters so it could easily be moved around a shop?

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

Weight is up to the strength of the horizontal extrusion, but this table wasn't built to take abuse. Its for light battery repair work. Adding castors, its easy. We made so many structures on castor wheels. You can browse the designs all over our website : thealuminumcarpenter.com , hope this helps.

[@seymourecarnage]

​@@TheAluminumCarpenterThanks. I found your designs after I commented. I'm actually looking to build a large DJ booth on casters, with both an under shelf and an upper-tier half-depth shelf. Your designs give me an idea of how I'd have to go about designing it.

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

Really glad to have helped. I do know what you are referring to. We've received so many enquiries on how to build these for mobile media cases, etc.

[@sakshamshrestha6839]

Did you stick your metal branding plate using adhesive? It seems like magnets but i thought aluminium wasnt magnetic

[@tommylee85]

Great looking table, I'd like to know the price for all the aluminum profiles.

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

The prices differ drastically from country to country. I am unable to advise you unless you are our local.

[@ILordSpawnI]

This build is easily 1k with all the profiles and fasteners. If you're doing something simple as a table then use lumber. It will be cheaper and rigid. This table definitely has some shake to it.

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

I disagree with the 1K, due to drastic price differences in different countries and for my country, lumber is expensive. So we are on opposites. And this table has no shake nor flex.

[@cyclingtothemoon2539]

What size thread do you recommend in the end of 3060?

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

M8 is the recommended. But it depends on your profile if it allows.

[@Ginatto]

Brother what tool do you use to cut your t slot to size? Is it a mitre saw?

[@MozTS]

Nail file

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

Yes i have a mitre saw. But no. They were ordered pre-cut, precise accurately cut.

Please make a Growbox, because it will soon be legal in germany ( 120cm * 120cm * 200cm ) I know a lot of people who do not like tents and want a closet that looks good.

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

I’ve made one a year ago… i didnt thought of releasing the video till you said so.

[@Danielttt425]

@@TheAluminumCarpenter Will you release it ?

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

Not sure yet, i unsure abt the demand until you mentioned it. And due to the vast amt of videos backlogs, i am currently overwhelmed with editing and building. Pls let me know what is the demand from your country 😊

[@Danielttt425]

@@TheAluminumCarpenter Of course, demand depends on various points. 1: How much will the box cost 2: What tools are required 3: What technical skills are required Overall, the demand will be high, why ? People are converting Ikea cabinets, but these have very cramped dimensions and the only manufacturer that sells these cabinets is G-Tools, these cabinets are not cheap and are of poor quality.Legalization is in all the media in Germany and it is assumed that other European countries will follow suit, people everywhere on forums are asking for help on how to grow. Why don't these people just get a tent for 200 euros ? Because a tent looks bad in the apartment and Just because something is legal doesn't mean social prejudices disappear. That's why many people want a grow box that doesn't stand out as such. With the right video title, it will be your most viewed video for sure

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

@Danielttt425 ok. In that case, i do up a youtube shorts instead first. Should be able to complete in 1 or 2 days. Pls keep a lookout.

But how much did it cost?

Few hundreds. I cant recall. But seriously materials differ in prices all over the world. I can bring costs down doesnt mean someone else can do that too. It depends on shipping.

Wtf is this nonsense music 😂

[@mjremy2605]

Adding music to a DIY demo is the fastest way to ruin the video, hurt the ears, and irritate the viewers. DO NOT ADD MUSIC. Add natural building sounds. We all like that and it is instructive. This is not an exclusively 'Man' cave table. it works for women too. I am female and need a garage worktable for my saws and projects. Don't be sexist and call it a 'man cave' table. It is a project table that works for DIY, Woodworking, Construction, Crafting, Sewing, Gardening, and for Office work. If you added folding brackets instead of stiff ones at the leg joint, it would also be a Camping table. This is what I am looking for. Folding legs. Good video and demo, thank you!

[@TheAluminumCarpenter]

Respect your views. Not sexist. My video launched yesterday shows 2 females as my fellow builders. It is youtube keyword SEO reasons that i came up with man cave. Appreciate all views here. Dont worry.
