Great build, here is something new from another YTer that you might consider for your next bench build kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqe5o4mapqZshacsi=NH830UumYEeNfDH2

[@nguyenthanhtien7939]

I am a beginner to woodwork, the main test I have with this bundle kzbin.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt is that I think that its hard to settle on a choice of the plan and outline to use as there are a large portion of them there. Nonetheless, I like the simple stride to step directions laid out there.

[@MrEtienneboucher]

Great build ! Definitely on my to do list for my next shop. But UHMW can stick ! In the ski/snowboard industry we use UHMWPE as Base and Sidewall material, UHMW can stick very well with the right preparation, so instead of using screw to secure it you could do a rough sanding (like 32 grit) on the "bottom" surface, clean it with Isopropyl alcohol and then "Flame Treat" the surface. To Flame Treat, you just need to use a propane torch about 2-3 in from the surface, move at about 1m/5s or about one to two feet per second, you should see a small change in "glossiness" on the surface right before the flame. The surface should not burn or melt in anyway. Glue with a good epoxy and this thing should stay glued forever. If I do something similar I would glue it to a plywood and screw the plywood to the bench from underneath. It would also provide a way to surface it on a cnc router when the surface become beat up.

[@JonnyBuilds]

This is awesome. Thanks for the insight and info 🙌🙌

[@tomconway6808]

Nothing sticks. The rolling tool chests that Husky makes are really nice, but the ability of this workbench to have the adjustable top is a pretty huge feature that tips me toward this DIY approach. Having a place to store stuff, a surface to work at, AND ability to roll one over to a saw for an outfeed table (and potentially a second one for an infeed table) is awesome.

[@mrpink7395]

I’ve been using these husky workbenches in my shop, and in my office as a super solid standing desk. I never thought to turn the base into storage. Great idea!

[@craiglawrey7518]

“Nothing Sticks”. Thanks for the video. I love how straight forward and honest you are. And bringing in your Oopses is perfect.

[@Lutzboater]

Nothing sticks, but this idea is sticking in my head. Nicely done. The storage you made with this bench has made me jealous.

[@stephenlipton525]

Nothing Sticks.! Loves the simplicity and versatility of this bench.

[@fudpukker]

Nothing sticks. Goes to show that building everything from scratch is not always the answer. This build has taken a solid concept and improved it's usability 100 fold. Well done!

[@shandraehansen]

Nothing sticks. Love the idea of an adjustable height work bench. Trying to unload or move large pierces of wood would be much easier with something like this in my shop. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@Rebecca-zw4pm]

Nothing sticks! This is a great idea. I need a multi functional table for the work that I do, and the Plexi top screwed onto the table top would not only keep things clean, it will keep the surface nice and flat. Husky is a great and trusted brand, and customizing one for my use seems like the perfect way to go. Plus adding that vice will allow me to do so much more. Thank you for sharing this.

[@MoyockScorpion]

Interesting and a no non-sense tool improved upon. That is what I do as well because I don't need to have "exotic" wood storage and what not. It is in the shop and does what it needs to. Nice build and it gives me ideas as well. Thanks Jonny! Be safe sir!

[@vernonbuell3943]

The genius of the human mind never ceases to amaze me. You took something already built and made it so much better. Keep the wheels rolling. Nice build!

[@terryevans1976]

Love those Husky workbenches. The UHMW top and the drawers are a fantastic idea.

[@brycequincy]

Great build … I’m in a wheelchair and seem to always need my tables at a different height. And I really like that “nothing sticks”

[@digitaldaydream420]

Have 2 of these! Pro tip, use a hex bit on your drill instead of cranking away forever. 👌🏻

[@MHAUSMAN]

I’ve done the same thing for my out feed table and my computer desk. The hex bit is quick and easy. I’m thinking of adding a Paulk work bench top that can be placed on top of the Husky adjustable bench and easily removed too.

[@MichaelBrown-kk6ck]

@@MHAUSMAN Great idea, was thinking of doing this myself. Would you put this magic plastic top on your Paulk top?

[@carboranadum]

Nothing sticks! I LOVE this table and this video! Well done. I have found my next project.

[@bigterp75]

Thanks for leaving the glue spill in the video, great stuff!

[@tylergeek]

Nothing sticks! I love this build - I'm tagging this video for when I have an opportunity to setup a new shop in a few months. Thanks for the ideas!

[@jasonricchio5139]

pretty slick bench. The adjustable height & nonstick top are my favorite features.

[@richardmayrand4724]

Nothing Sticks. Nicely done. A good combination of store bought and build elements. Love the top.

[@richardhaggarty5758]

Nothing Sticks. Working on something like this currently. Bad back prevents me from working to low. Great video!!

[@philipng6598]

I own 3 of these workbenches in different lengths and I can’t believe I didn’t think of doing this. Totally taking the idea and adding drawers

[@cyrus3055]

Nothing sticks. Very nice build. It allways inspires me when people come up with good ideas.

[@JustinCiriello]

That Ed blip at the end sold me. I was already mostly on board. Just look at it!

[@markfrye9178]

Oh my! Great project with tips and tricks to learn from. NICLEY done!!!

[@presidentmegtawma6845]

I like this one a lot. Simple, budget-minded, great function, and nothing sticks.

[@DanStratton1]

Nothing sticks to my brain like adjustable workbenches. Thanks for the great tip and the improvements. I gotta do this!

[@stephenpalazzi720]

Dude I have searched the internet far and wide trying to find build plans or KZbin videos about tricking out these tables and even started watching this once before but thought that it wasn't what I was needing, wow don't I feel silly lmao. Seriously though AWESOME video that gave me exactly the direction I needed to fulfill what I had in my brain. Thanks!

[@davidb2161]

Nothing Sticks - thanks for sharing this is a great idea and will be doing this soon.

[@rogermccaslin5963]

I did something similar but much more heavy duty. I bought a Harbor Freight motorcycle lift and mounted a 4x8 torsion box top on it. The lift is rated for 1000lbs. I covered the box with a sheet of melamine - smooth, flat, easily replaceable, and relatively inexpensive. At the time I built it, I was building patterns and molds for boat parts and some of them can be pretty heavy. The lift allowed me to raise or lower the project for the best height to work on a particular section. Good for my old back. The lift is also on casters so I could move it around the shop as needed. I've got $5-600 in a lift table that would cost many thousands to buy from one of those industrial table companies.

[@JonnyBuilds]

That’s a fantastic idea!

[@OneTequilaTwoTequila]

That's hilarious that you equate that Harbor Freight motorcycle lift to "much more heavy-duty." That thing is a flimsy piece of junk. Adding a 4x8 top to that would make it unstable for serious work.

[@rogermccaslin5963]

@@OneTequilaTwoTequila "More heavy duty" is a relative term. Compared to the table in the video, it is definitely more heavy duty. I've used it to take a 350 lb outboard, stacks of plywood and melamine, etc out of the back of my truck. It works for me. I guess you know better than me how something I built and you've never seen is apparently junk.

[@matthewn2559]

You just gave me a great idea for building a small workbench in my basement! Thank you. Great workmanship.

[@rickfromtexas4659]

Nice project. "Nothing sticks" is a cool feature.

[@Tamb1]

This is great. I have that work bench and the 2 drawer smaller one in my art room. They are perfect. I love what you did with this. 👍

[@danschramm1397]

Nothing Sticks ! Love these projects !!

[@seanconnolly903]

Nothing sticks. Thanks for the video! I have the same husky table and have been looking to add cabinets to it and now watching this gives me a better idea of what to do.

[@joshuagrafton8781]

Nothing sticks. Nice and simple project that is really useful. Thanks

[@carboranadum]

Just finished building a cabinet for under my second table. I haven't found a supplier for the top yet, but the cabinet for my second bench was built to hold small part storage containers. Thanks very much for this video!

[@BenButler1]

Great build Jon. Nothing Sticks

[@stevemclean2817]

Jonny, that’s awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@rcwoodshop170]

Nothing sticks! What a fun project!! The "design on the fly" builds are always my favorite. You're only like 2 hrs from me lets do a collab project sometime! 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@Halak014]

that is a good showcase of something to consider when doing more or a workbenches.

[@clearskiesandtailwinds]

Nothing Sticks: I'd never considered this as an option but after watching this I'm sold. Maybe the Husky isn't the brand I go for but the concept has me convinced. I'm working in a very limited space so the versatility of an assembly table that I can raise to a height comfortable for me to work on but move and lower to be an out-feed table is brilliant. I'll do something different in the space underneath but the ideas are starting to swirl around in my head. This is gonna be fun

[@YouT-DJ]

Hey Jonny - that's a winner. the adjustable height is awesome.

[@IraDuncan]

nothing sticks. You just got another subscriber, Jonny. Nicely done. I need to find a sheet of this UHMW now for one of my benches.

[@anornor691]

Really great build. So glad "nothing sticks" to the top of the table. I just wish these dang tables were not so expensive.

[@bryangoodwin6579]

I bought that table not too long ago and have been wondering how best to utilize it. This is just what I needed!

[@sheribrockmeier127]

Very cool that nothing sticks. My wheels are turning. Thanks for the build and ideas.

[@asoggyburger479]

Not sure how I just discovered your channel. Glad I did, I’m also in OKC! Going to check out your other videos.

[@jasonm.7358]

This is awesome! I’m not sure when UHMW came on the scene, but I do remember when I was a kid (ca. 1980) my dad had a workbench with a white plastic top that looked just like this, stapled to the top. NOTHING would stick to that stuff. I can’t say it was UHMW, but my uncle was a research chemist for Conoco, so it could have been anything. This is fantastic! I wasn’t sure what my workbench was going to look like… but now I’m getting a pretty good idea. :-) THANKS!

[@baja1980s]

Definitely getting on this.. thank you for sharing and teaching us, entertaining us. Well done 👍🏾

[@jasonbailey9139]

So cool that *nothing sticks* to the top. I know some people don't like buying work tables or toolboxes, but I really think that if you can just make some tweaks like you did to customize it to your needs, it's the way to go. I like the workbenches that I've made, but my Huskey toolbox is likely my best investment in my garage storage.

[@PhilCaplinger1]

perfect timing... I'm putting my miter station together with two of these tables. Thanks!

[@crisscome5376]

This is awesome. I was just talking about doing something similar with the adjustable height worktop in our shop

[@patriotwoodworker6092]

Yeah that is a pretty nice build man! Screw organizers are a must! I have 5 on mine. Love em

[@joshbonney9624]

Awesome video - I am totally going to do this project - maybe without the vice, not sure. Here's an idea I had for mine - Build a frame with legs, attached to the table top itself, that is just a bit higher than the floor to tabletop height when all the way down. Install the casters on these legs instead. This way when you are using the table, the frame is sitting on the ground directly, and when you crank it ALL the way down, you actually pick the legs up off the ground, leaving the table sitting on the casters giving you mobility. Locking casters not necessary. Question: What is the difference between UHMW, HDPE, and ABS for this project? and what impact would each have on the finished product's uses?

[@steveferguson1232]

Wow what a great assembly table

[@nbdcbn]

awesome upgrade, just awesome

nothing sticks! Nice build. I actually have a motorized adjustable height desk in my office that, aside from testing when purchased, I have never, ever, adjusted the height on. So I've been considering replacing it with a standard desk and relocating the adjustable one to the shop for a similar purpose as this.

[@mickeymallette2663]

@@JonnyBuilds How much play is there in this Husky workbench (62") before and after your modifications? I was wondering if the casters were removed or a better locking caster was used, if I could use two of these spaced out to be 62" wide by 48" for my OneFinity Journeyman CNC, with the addition of the drawers in this video on each table so that I had drawers on the back and the front. The footprint on my Journeyman is 60" wide by ~46 deep. I wondered with the drawers and the torsion box top if it would be stable enough not to shake during CNC operation.

[@JonnyBuilds]

You’re going to want something more stable and heavier for cnc operations.
