MFT Work Bench Build - My Ultimate Work Bench !
This workbench is a hybrid of several designs. All these idea's inspired me to create a solution that allowed me to build "my ultimate workbench". I have previously built two others, but I'm sure this one will be the best and final one. The design incorporates, MFT dog holes, a router bench, a track saw cutting station, an extension wing and plenty of drawers and cabinetry to store my things.

The MFT holes were made using the following jig:

    Great design and nicely built, I think that I would use hex head bolts (not coach bolts) and large square washers at bolt head and nut end to stop biting into the timber on each assembly, also stronger surface area. I would fit outboard legs for safety and stability at least a third of the way up but I am sure that you would have done this anyway. Cheers.

      Thanks for the feedback. Definitely you have some great insights. The structure definitely needs support arms, particularly when fully extended. I didn’t go into this aspect during the video. However I adapted various strategies depending on the available space in the area I was putting it up. Suffice to say you need something.

    So glad I found your video. I own a two story house and have been delaying some major home maintenance work on the roof and exterior because the commercial scaffolds are so expensive. I tried to use the extension ladder and that alone was hard for a woman to set it up against the house. I want to build a simple wood scaffold that can be assembled and dissembled by myself and this is exactly what I am looking for. Thank you so much!

    An excellent design for a timber scaffold. Can you comment on warping issues over time and after exposure to rain. My timbers will be often exposed to rain and stored undercover outside when not. Also, do you have any advice on working on uneven ground.

    • @diycave5144
      @diycave5144 Год назад

      Great question. I bought some cheap paint to help protect it a bit from weathering. This seems to have worked well. Working with this scaffold I always will use additional bracing to either tether it to a wall or to the ground to support it from rocking and tipping. In addition when the ground is uneven you will need to to prop up with additional pieces of timber.

      For an MFT table, the holes not only need to be spaced accurately, but they need to be perfectly in line and perpendicular to each other. If you’re using the holes for clamping and don’t want it for accurate cutting I would think the divider method would be fine.
