Heavy Duty Flip-Top Workbench

[@TheJohnno25]

Very nice job, it looks solid as. A guard on the angle grinder is ALWAYS a good idea. Those things make a mess of the fingers if the blade lets go.

[@awatts5928]

Brilliant. Simple and damn effective. Could i suggest using a piece of pipe in the stand and table where the locking bolt goes in, to ensure it doesn't elongate the holes over time. I would also use a locking bolt on each side to balance the stresses on the frame which will reduce the possibility of frame twisting over time.

[@TheBigORanch]

Right on! Excellent work. I had the same concern about the weight distribution.

[@byronglass882]

Nice work, no way to improve it, just great.

[@cindykamaka8510]

This is terrific! I've been looking for an 'easy' flip table and I know I can handle this as a beginner. Thank you so much!!

[@mvukkaz4899]

As usual, great work Mark!

[@paulangus715]

It’s great to see you posting your builds. I love the space saving design too @Mark Susak Well done!

[@MarkSusak]

Thank you Paul

[@TheGbow0704]

Great design Mark, as usual you bring practical useful projects.

[@MarkSusak]

Thank you Greg

[@eugenelayhue1932]

I think this is the cleanest looking and strongest design but I would've installed power plus vertically adjustable fold down wings. I also would countersink for all the screws then plug sand flush for a cleaner look and don't forget to soften all the sharp edges.

Good one Mark! I built one, but with posts for legs, which are wobbling now. I plan to build a new one, with plywood sides for a more sturdy build. Also, I will be using bearings to hold the pole of the flip board to the frame. I wonder if the bearings are over engineering though? I may ask you for an update on your flip bench after six or twelves months.

[@MarkSusak]

Thanks. I was thinking of bearings however I can’t see myself needing them. But who knows haha

[@IsaKocoglu]

@@MarkSusak I set myself a reminder for every six months to check up in if bearings would have been better? I will check up on this another six months from now for one last time, to see how they have held up without bearings, if no bearings have been added 😉🇦🇺👍

[@MarkSusak]

@@IsaKocoglu works great! Haven’t had any issues since I’ve made it. Bearings would be fun. But as it only gets flipped 1-4 times each project. No wear at all

[@IsaKocoglu]

@@MarkSusak that is great news! If it is ok with you, I will request a final update in another six months?

[@IsaKocoglu]

@@MarkSusak one year on, how is it holding up Buddy?

[@growyourworld7947]

I LIKE IT.

You the man bro!!!🔥🔥🔥

[@kevinansell9341]

Hows the flip cart holding up ??

[@jonathanbanuelos6811]

Very good video thanks bud

[@howardaappel194]

Long time no see. Good to see you again.

[@MarkSusak]

Happy to be back and thank you

[@trumpking4874]

U should he able to adjust the depth at which the nail gun shoots the nail and fix that problem

[@tombowden5335]

Awesome build! Hey, how much did the timber for this project set you back? Most of these videos are American...

[@MarkSusak]

Thanks Tom. I used hardwood plywood so this project set me back about 300.. if I used regular plywood which would have been sufficient it would have been half

[@1927Scavengers]

Do you have the measurements in inches.

[@MightyHawx]

Nicely done. What happened to your Jet thicknesser?

[@MarkSusak]

Good eye and thanks! the jet ended up snapping the main shaft when cutting through a whole lot of reclaimed hardwood. Mostly my fault because the blades when dull and I thought I could finish up and get them sharpened the next day. Would have cost more than a new one to fix. This one is from my grandfather. the blower function with the breathable bag is good but I still get quite a few chips shooting out the front. Thanks for watching!!

[@SMee67]

Bloody brilliant mate 👍🏽 Did you turn the dial on the nail gun up to full power with the longer nails?

[@MarkSusak]

Thanks Bill. Yep I did! 1 size down works perfectly though

[@SMee67]

@@MarkSusak Well that's a pain in the arse then, you'd expect them to work if they fit... Those brads are far from cheap.

[@elsekleszyk]

Hi! Nice bench! But i have a question. Have you changed the thicknesser because this jwp-jet is weak or have you just changed?

[@joser1219]

I didn't know butter cuts 😜. Cool build though.

[@bobetization]

not strong enough
