I built a similar system with these differences: the cabinet casters removed, and I built a wheeled tray for the cabinets to sit on. They got their own top that performed as a roll-around worktable. This cabinet tray was stored under another bench. So now I had two work benches, one permanently in place and under it a roll-out tray of cabinets also with a work top. As I got into hand tool wood working, both were insufficient and unsteady for hand tool work. They were scrapped and the wood turned into replica antique tool chests. I think your 2x6 lumber top will be fine.

Last vise I did was a 1960’s vintage Record #6 for which 1/2” x 1” copper bus bar was perfect fit. And cheaper buying it as bus bar than exactly the same copper from any of my usual non ferrous suppliers. Holding up well in a machine/fab shop with heavy use. Bonus: makes a good heat sink for small part tig welding :-)

@goaliem288, yeah actually using 2x6's will result in less warpy stuff after you resize it... it's a cool shop furniture secret I likely picked up from @MikeFarrington, but not sure. The big box stores only source 2x4s from trees that grow like curly fries.

its funny you used the revolution ply - its meant for subfloor underlayment material but in my parts, a lot of people use it for interior sheathing. walls/ceilings that just simply need covering w/ no strength like in a garage or cabin/cottage. It does look and perform great, for the price. all over sheet goods are so damn expensive these days.

Funny, the description says, furniture, cabinets, blah blah. At the time it just seemed like the best option. I really do wish it came in thicker sizes, it looks super cool.

@@MikeFarrington ahh, it could be slightly different than what we get here. But I agree it’s a nice material, wish there was 1/2” available as well. This was a nice change up, in terms of video content for you. I think you’ll get some good response regarding organization and shop hacks!
