I Built A Workbench Like No Other

Join me as I aim to conquer my cracked and uneven garage floor with this one of a kind workbench.

I love this. Seeing someone who is obviously very talented sharing a complicated project in such a way anyone can understand. Theres so much going on here between the woodwork, the electronics and the software plus the challenges requiring lots of critical thinking to get each component to work together and be functional. Nice work!

[@FirthFabrications]

Thanks so much! I appreciate the kind words and I’m glad you liked it.

What an amazing project, the perfect blend of impracticality and usefulness, if you squint hard enough. And great production value on the video!

[@FirthFabrications]

Thanks!

[@SalsaSharpie]

Ride em cowboy! Glad Mechanical Bull mode made it to the video!

[@FirthFabrications]

You’re my hero. Thanks for all the support and suggestions!

[@homestead_diy]

Great build. I love the final product.

[@FirthFabrications]

Thanks!

[@TheNewJankyWorkshop]

Dude, fantastic freakin' video and build. Knocked it out of the park!

[@FirthFabrications]

Appreciate it!

[@Vidar93]

Man you deserve way more subscribers than you currently have. Absolutely wonderful video as long as you put out videos of similar quality and not even necessarily scale Im sure you will definitely gain a fanbase on the engineering side of KZbin. Keep up the great work man.

[@FirthFabrications]

Thanks for the kind words! I’ve got a lot of projects in the works and hopefully I can get out some more videos sooner rather than later.

[@labellesworkshop]

Such a cool project. Love how you powered it off a tool battery. Keep up the great work!

[@FirthFabrications]

Thanks!

[@FabricaBenedicta]

Great video! I really enjoyed your innovative approach to creating a self-leveling, height-adjustable workbench. As a fellow woodworker and content creator, I'm working on a similar project using linear actuators and your use of an Arduino for self-leveling has inspired me to explore incorporating that into my design as well. Keep up the excellent work!

[@FirthFabrications]

Love to hear it! Good luck with your build and let me know when you finish! I’d love to take a look.

[@Sneakybike17]

Saw this on Reddit and wanted to know more haha!

[@FirthFabrications]

Welcome! Hope your curiosity was satisfied

[@stefcamps8395]

Very nice work! Cool project. What lineair actuators did you use?

[@FirthFabrications]

Just some off Amazon. I think the brand was ECO-WORTHY. They’re 12in stroke length and rated for 300lbs each

[@stefcamps8395]

Thanks, i'll have a look!

[@wafflebeaver]

Okay it’s time for me to finally learn some arduino or esp32 automation haha

[@FirthFabrications]

It’s a great skill to learn!

[@PunkR0ckz09]

Any parts list, code and whatnot to reproduce this? I have a VERY sturdy workbench I would like to modify the top to adapt to this (it can go on gravel and grass, because it has very big wheels, and I use it to cut wood regularly, I don't have an extractor/air cleaner/shop vac setup, andI feel like this would be ideal as I have access to some actuators.)

[@FirthFabrications]

That would be helpful, huh? I might publish some more info on GitHub in the future if there is a strong demand for it, but right now I’m more focused on the next project rather than cleaning up the documentation for this one… sorry.

[@PunkR0ckz09]

@@FirthFabrications Totally understandable! I was able to find the information for the actuators based on a screenshot I took of your video but its not really helpful without the code and PCB :(
