Creating a High-Rigidity Workbench Using Alminium Frames

I've made a workbench.
In fact, my old workbench was just a PC desk made in China, simply very unstable and awkward not made for the actual workbench.
I went overboard creating an extra rigid, super solid workbench using alminium frames.

【Plan List】

The size is W1380mm(plus a vise) L600mm H700mm
With a height adjustable pad.
The worktop is made of Birch butcher block 40mm thickness. I've purchased it from an online hardware store, very flat with no sign of warped surface. I only had to plane down about 0.2mm!

Those height adjustable roller wheels are from Powertec. Super convenient to move around in your shop.

hi, good work as always, I just wish u explain some stuff that needs explaining (in not saying to say the 90" is 90" when clearly we can see it) in all your videos. like this one. when u just do stuff without saying anything in subtitle I feel detached and get bored in the middle, thanks

beautiful bench,& a rolls Royce price to match for the aluminum.and where do you get it.

[@patrickweaver5290]

It's a very nice bench but rolls Royce I don't know there are a lot of better benches built completely of wood. But I guess preference is a personal thing.

[@timdennis2193]

@@alandavies3921 hi Alan.. not sure where you are based.. but I did a google search and found a supplier around 40 mins from my place.. its obviously more expensive than timber but never warps.. its as straight as anything and looks amazing..

[@pking39]

Unbelievable craftsmanship. The precision and the craftmanship you put into this is speechless

[@velcroman11]

This bloke demonstrates not only his ability as a wood worker but other things like. 1) an incredibly clean workspace. He must actually put tools away when finished. 2) He measures things carefully. And 3). He takes his time, he doesn’t rush. (Haste makes waste). Rushing at a job, I have found has lead me “down the rabbit hole” of screw ups and wasted material.

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

You are spot on with JSK. I started woodworking when I was 10 yrs old in my grampa's shop. He taught me from an early age to keep a tidy work space and through out the day to put things back if your done with a particular tool. This way nothing gets lost. Back then, 50yrs ago, we swept as we went( a few times throughout a build), and we never buried fasteners or small hand tools in shavings that would then be put into a garbage bin. I take it a step further and if I know I've dropped fasteners into the sawdust around my bench, I run a handheld magnet tool I made over the pile and once retreived the dust goes in the bin. I also use the shavings and saw dust around my blueberry bushes so I don't want my grandkids stepping on anything sharp when the pick berries. I can still smell the cherry tobacco grampa smoked in his briar pipe he made himself. He was a cabinet and furniture maker by trade.

"When the full moon rises in a starlit sky, who is the master of my being." Can't help thinking of that old Zen saying as I watch you work. Beautiful craftsmanship. Full of grace. And a damn good bench.

[@macewalker2011]

This thing is so sick. Perfect blend of old school craftsman with new sleek pieces

[@adelker4884]

@Mace Walker I know what you mean by "sick" -- like "bad", meaning "good or awesome. However, you could be misunderstood ! I once wrote in a comment "Poor devils" -- about good people working under miserable conditions, and a viewer "rebuked " me.. By the way, I'm from Egypt but living in the United States; so I've learnt a little bit of slang and nuances of the English language as used by native speakers. As for this workbenches, JSK-koubou has once again produced another masterpiece of Japanese craftsmanship 👍👍!

Mr. Koubou is truly the Master SAMURAI of Carpentry. I was preparing to build a heavy timber work bench and he just completely talked me out of it with this excaliber design. I will be buying this plan right away. He has already influenced changes on my drill press set up and my 6.5" wide Makita Planer to employ his jig plans. I am so delighted to have found his web site. He is truly an amazingly gifted man and a blessing to one and all, and proves to all that "perfection is truly the enemy of good enough."

Excellent build! One suggestion, however, for those who wish to make one of these for themselves. People often load up deep drawers with large, heavy objects. As a result, I’d recommend cutting a narrow dado in the deep drawer sides to capture the drawer bottom, as it will hold up better in the long run than a butt joint. Cheers.

[@tarsinorbert_norbee]

Drága Koubou! Csodállatos asztalod lett. Gyönyörű munka. A precizitás felső foka. Tökéletes. Nézem a munkáidat és egyszerűen nem térek magamhoz. Mégegyszer gratulálok és további szép munkákat és sok-sok videó készítést kérnénk még. Magyarországról baráti üdvözlettel.

That is one cool workbench! Great job! Simple construction very rigid. It incorporates nearly everything anyone could ever want in a workbench.

the optical illusion of the higher speed screw install is always funny because it appears to be spinning counter clockwise. When it slows, it appears to be going clockwise. This is a nice table. I encourage you to sell the plans so others can catch up to you.

[@michaelcherry8952]

Just a little note for those looking for subtitles. There are English subtitles, but you need to select English using the gear wheel menu-they default to Japanese if you just click "CC". This would be very expensive to reproduce, but the point is to highlight the design choices made to create an ultra-sturdy, versatile workbench. The top is made from glue-laminated wood, so wood movement shouldn't be too much of a problem. Despite that, he still included adjustments for wood movement in the top ( 17:20). The numerous holes in the top are for bench dogs to hold wood in position while it is being worked. The number and pattern of holes allows for a wide range of sizes and shapes of pieces to be braced. I expect he will demonstrate this versatility in future videos. A superb effort! Obviously out of the price range for a lot of people, but many great ideas and concepts. I'd love to know where the aluminum frames were sourced, just for daydreaming purposes! Thank you for another fascinating workshop project.
