My dad found a few of these used Lista workbenches for sale and knew they would be a nice addition to the new shop if we restored them, refinished the wood and, repainted the metal. I decided I wanted to restore one of them in a video, so I did. In the new shop, I am moving off of the welding bench and onto my own bench (this one)

As a woodworker, all I could think was “man I wish I could run the top through my planer before he glued it back together. Could have saved this man hours of sanding.” 😮‍💨

I was thinking the same thing. Or better yet just coat it with epoxy that can take 3000 f temperature the kind you use on kitchen counter tops. I belive the years in a work environment add charter to it.

I have a Lista toolbox with workbench from my employer. I was told to throw it away but my production manager at the time said I could have it but to get rid of it immediately. So I had an operator help me load it up into his truck and he drove it home real quick and grabbed his other truck and came back. After work he followed me to my house and helped me unload it. Of course it's over 20 years old and beaten up but still works. Would love to get it restored.

My dad has a smaller Lista work bench he inherited from his old work place. He worked for Parker Hannifin. They had an old building, and they were getting rid of a lot of old equipment before moving into a newer building back in the early to mid 2000 range. There was an old Lista work bench he wanted. The workers were going to throw the bench in the dumpster. My dad saved it and restored the work bench kind of like you did. He repainted it all black with a clear coat. The wood top was restored and was given a honey oak polyurethane finish. He still uses the work bench to this day. You did a lovely job with this one. Nicely done.

The steel top is a nice add on . The wood glue is stronger than the wood itself, biscuits or dowels help with alignment and that's about it. If the glue fails in your lifetime, you'll be glad you didn't use either of those. As for wood finish, you did well, any product will need to be touched up or redone in time. Solvent finishes do make the wood look nicer, water based polyurethanes hold up very well and are easy to reapply when needed. The only other upgrade I'd see as useful is a back panel to increase rigidity in the long run. Nuts and bolts will loosen over time and use. I had a metal cart that had nuts, bolts, lock washers. As a job-site cart it got moved frequently, it always needed tightening. Solution, tightened them all one last time, welded every joint and lap, removed nuts and bolts.

Overall it’s a decent table. If you’re not using it for big heavy projects. Its gets unstable when using my jigsaw and handsaw. Table starts to shake and lifts off the ground. Maybe I’m doing something wrong?Also the folding mechanic works great kzbin.infoUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh when setting up, but I can’t get the table to fold down.

Over three summers, I had to find another desk for a teacher in the workshop. More areas were being used for academic rather than practical lessons. Every year someone had got a brand new modular desk and the old worn beat up desk was being tossed. Mostly particle board construction with a veneer, I have new life to those desks with four coats of satin yacht varnish. Each coat was rubbed down and the finish was great. Thank you for this video. I have an old workbench in the garage I need to update…

I disagree with your comment. To me it looks like he prioritized what was actually important. Everything he touched came out awesome. His quality of work is high. Absolutely nobody is going to see the bottom of the bench, that was in pretty good shape anyway. It had clearly always been the bottom. Also the inside of the drawers on this style bench get beat up pretty easily with how they slide.

This was a fun watch - I especially enjoyed the dent repairs and reinforced bolt holes. But that hinged top... So wherever you put this thing you'll need to keep the wall totally clear behind it if you ever plan to fold it up - and not cover outlets like where you have it now. And you'll have to figure out how to keep it up while you're working and jiggling the table so it doesn't come slamming back down on you. I was hoping to see some planer magic on that wood top. lol!

Beautiful job. Way more work than I have time for though. My only suggestion is all four casters to be swivel. You even had a prime example in the video. You had to lift the fixed end to get it out. That will be way to hard when it's in use and full. Ask me how I know😉 I switched the fixed casters to swivel and life is better. A little harder to roll straight but way more maneuverable.

Just an idea to consider. Your refinished benchtop is beautiful. I find that within weeks of all that work, my benchtop is looked pretty haggard. I put a sheet of 1/4 inch plywood on my benchtop with a few countersunk screws. When it becomes covered with glue, paint stains, beat up, etc. I can simply change the plywood and have a new benchtop. I then do not have to refinish my benchtop nearly as often. It nearly always stays presentable. Just a thought. A little more difficult if you have benchdog holes or certain vices, but something to consider.

So every Navy shop I was in had these. The damn things will fold up unexpectedly if you over load them. My frist supervisor taught me this, get some descent wood, fit it to the J channels that make up the legs and make them fit tightly, drill and fasten with carriage bolts. This prevents the metal from folding, provides rigidity to the legs and if you decide to mount a vise mount one or two additional wooden supports to that one legs exterior. Also along the back side, run either a wooden rail or a steel rod with ends threaded and bolt the rail in place. Putting anything heavy can deform that bottom metal shelf and pull the legs inward and ....well....thats one reason why the damn things collapse. BONUS, adding the wood makes that thing quite down otherwise if you hammer on anything it can be like hammering a bell.

Saves working from underneath. Then just turn the whole thing over. Would also save jacking up the drawer cabinet. Brilliant idea with the steel top, hinged as well! Good restoration though, great to watch.

Walnut draw frts would look good. As for the metal top, if the hinges were installed on the underside of the top and you added strips to lift it off the wood top you could weld on it provided you did something to keep the heat off the wood top and had plenty of support parts then you could fold it up on the wall as a back splash. Pick a wood color you like but it can be thin its just a layer over the metal.

The fasteners you took off looked brand new. Perhaps the previous owner had the same idea but less fortitude :D
