Many of us don't have room in our shops to have a separate Assembly Table, Outfeed Table, and Woodworking Bench. And we are always short of storage in our woodshops. This table is a request from several of my Patreon members and followers of the channel.
Why a Torsion Box?
A Torsion Box is a method to create a table top that cannot bend, flex, or warp in any way. And above all else to be perfectly flat. And that’s really it. The ultimate goal is simply to have an unchanging laser-flat surface.
With that we can now use it to assemble and build our furniture. The surface becomes a reference surface since it is perfect. We can check square from it, and parallel from it. And it makes assembly much easier and much more accurate. It enhances all aspects of a furniture build and becomes the focal point of both the assembly phase, and nearly all aspects of your woodworking.
People asked me if I had a video of my old torsion box assembly table. I didn’t. So I decided that this is a must do project. And probably the most requested project I’ve ever done. I sent out questions to see what people would like. I tried to combine all of those with my thoughts and create something that could take on many sizes. I designed this in 3 different table sizes with full plans for each. A Full Size 4’ x 8’ Table, A Mid-Size 3-1/2’ x 7’ Table, and A Smaller 3’ x 6’ Table.
It’s an upgradeable tool for the workshop. The Extreme Torsion Box Assembly Table can start out in life very simply. I’ve engineered the leg assemblies in such a way that you can start with just the basic leg unit and the torsion box top and have a fully functional assembly table. Then as time goes on, you can upgrade by adding cabinetry. You can do it with shelves or even cabinet doors. Then as time and finances permit, you can push it to the extreme and add a bench vise, with bench dog holes, full drawers and even clamp racks at the ends. This will help break the cost of the project down into thirds. And it’ll let you upgrade whenever your needs change to warrant it.

Please like and share our videos. Thank You!
We love teaching the world to do woodworking.
Watched all 4 parts and that's a classy bench I've seen poorer made coffee tables ,respect to the ladies for doing most of the work .
Beautiful peace of art
Thank you!
Does RUclips have awards for Build Projects of the Year? This one has my vote!
Haha. Thanks J.P.! You are too kind.
Without a doubt the nicest, most amazing assembly table known to humans. Amazing job King family!!!
Thank you very much. It was kind of you to speak on behalf of the humans. :-)
No doubt, absolutely beautiful. What would the cost run with just shearer hard wood? I'm super curious.
James...you and the girls did an awesome job! That wood combination just turned out beautiful! 👏👏 And, your wife did an outstanding job with the camera! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much, Bill!
James, a wonderful video. I have a 4 x 8 table saw table with a router lift setup at the other end, but I need to upgrade both the saw and table, and I probably will purchase a router table. Bottom line, I am thinking about making your assembly table and torsion box. You and your family do amazing work. Congratulations.
Another home run, James.
The things I have seen you build are of heirloom quality. - They wouldn't DARE to fall apart!
Thank you, Paul. That is very kind.
Never miss any of your project!
Well done. I really enjoyed the build. Thanks for the tip on the laquer verses the poly.
I have just finished watching all 4 parts, This is not a work bench this is a piece of ART. I am a novice woodworker so please could you explain or demonstrate ALL the features one by one, even the ones you think are inconsequential. Keep in mind I am a complete novice to woodwork but I am trying to get started. Like how do the holes work on the top and on the sides. Why are the tracks there and how do you use them? A video showing what is a torsion table is and why is it so integral in wood working would be so cool I know there are a lot of beginners getting started that would love to see a video on how the table all works?
that is one awesome build. Kudos to you for giving your kids real life skills, something sorely missing from most of today's generation.
I've watched this table build series at least 5 times now and can't get over how easy you make it look. This table is epic. I just wish I had the space for something like this.
Thank you. You are far too kind.
Defiantly the best work bench on you tube and probably the world. Thanks Kings team. Well done.
Hi Matt. Thank you!
James,
I've watched this series 4 times now, and still glean from it. I've ordered the plans for the assembly table, and can't wait to build it. I'm in the process of building my shop, and as soon as it's done I'll take some photos and show you. Thanks again for your videos, I love your channel.
Hi Nathan, that’s very kind. Thank you. I look forward to seeing some pictures!
Dear James,
How refreshing it is to see women doing what was once a predominantly man's sphere. To see them turning ( & with great skill I may add), routing & beyond, drilling & fastening stuff together. I admire parents whose bonds & relationships with their children is such that there is a closeness that one seldom sees anymore. Your work table is exceedingly well built, well executed & finished thanks to your skilled & dedicated family team. One wonders what other awesomeness will rise from this table. very well done to you all. Kind regards.
Thank you very much! I am very lucky that my girls love woodworking.
Dear James,
Thank you very much for your courteous & hearted reply. I do concur with your good self; you are indeed a very blessed man to have children who share your passion. The King's tradition shall live on. Kind regards.
Instead of the guide board on the end you could have chalk lined the path for the dog holes and put a witness mark on the far end of your jig. Either way, beautiful work man. And it's awesome that you involve your family, they're learning very valuable skills thanks to you.
James's method is far more accurate.
What a work of art. Beautiful
Thank you. You’re very kind.
Thanks James (and family), another quality video(s). You all do some amazing work. You have a beautiful family and are very lucky to spend quality time together in the shop.
Thank you Adam. I feel very lucky indeed.
I love the way you explain things, and how you build also. Just found this channel. Love the content.
Thank you Kaleb. I really appreciate that.
WOW that was amazing and look like that also!! Funny your girls are a better carpenters then i am and i'm 60 years old. I like all your videos and the voice over you do it's great. I went to buy some wood glue and they said you had just been into the store and bought it all up!! LOL
Hi James, I do enjoy the projects you share with us. Thanks so much. Although this project is a couple years old, I have most all of your videos. I must tell you that I have watch the series on this table 10+ times as I have compared and contrasted the torsion style to many others for my latest assembly table. I decided to go with the torsion style you showed in the end. Just finished it this weekend. My is nowhere near as loaded as yours, but I'm in a much smaller shop and that brought on some special challenges. In the end, I think I will enjoy this one for years to come. Thanks again!
Too bad I recently discovered this channel. I have built an assembly table that works but I needed to build another table as outfeed for my homemade tablesaw. If I did something like this, I wouldn't have to and get my space back. I've a pretty small workplace so probably end up rebuilding some stuff. I like your explanations and calm voice. Keep up the good work!
Great video and the final product is just beautiful. Wish I had an Army of helpers. It's what I imagine it would be like to be in Santa's shop and watching him directing all of his elves. ;) Wonderful video, you have amazing daughters. thank you!
That's simply awesome. The level of detail and the efforts put in to make something utilitarian into an heirloom like piece is just too much. Congratulations to all of you
Thank you. You are very kind!
Thanks for sharing the entire build. It was a pleasure to watch your entire family work together so well on this project as they always do. That's a beautiful table in the end.
Thank you very much!
Hands down the most informative instructional video I have watched! I may not be able to build such a beauty but there were countless tips in this series that are going to help me every day in my shop. Great Job King Family!!!
You are one of the best woodworkers I've ever seen , keep that hard work , love ur videos❤
That is very kind. Thank you!
He definitely gives that norm guy I grew up with on PBS a run for his money!!
I have never seen a more beautiful assembly table, you sir are a master craftsman. I will be buying the plans when my shop is finished being built, keep up the amazing workmanship James. Your videos are by far the most informative and more importantly, engaging, I am totally hooked and for that I thank you.
hey james this was awesome ...well documented clear instructions .....there isnt a lot of 30 + min videos ill watch but seriously i will make popcorn and watch these videos i only wish i had the space and equipment to attempt these incredible pieces you produce .....please keep these coming
Hi Justin. You are so very kind. Thank you!
Such a beautiful workbench and so lovely that you have built it with your 2 talented daughters.
I'm quite new to woodworking and hadn't thought to use my plunge router to do perfectly 90 degree holes - awesome tip. :-)
Hi Maria. Thank you!
:-) :-)
You are a great teachers and well thought out explanation of all the steps. I have been in manufacturing of RVs for many years. in years gone by say the 50s and 60s we made real cabinets not just paneling and plastic film wrapped cabinet faces. Like your youngest daughter I started very young. Its a great skill that no one can take away from you.
It is art in wood and you are a master.
Thank You
Outstanding table James. I can't help but run numbers in my head in regards to what this could be sold for. With the materials you used plus the labor you and your "crew" put in I keep coming up with a $10,000.00 minimum figure.
Haha. If somebody offered me $10,000 I'd sell it. I've certainly sold furniture for that but never shop furniture, Haha.
You have a whole family of talented, skilled people, and this project was beautifully done. True quality content.
What a Beautiful table. Great job King family!!
This was an amazing series James. Outstanding build!
Hi Moy! Thank you very much!!
I loved this build. I also found your daughters very talented and very careful at everything they do. You a very blessed man and enjoy this lots. Building such a nice work table also speaks lots about your building in général. As customer if i walked into your shop i would not question quality and that cant be a bad thing.
Amazing build series, James. You again taught me a lot of different techniques.
Thank You Sensei.
Hi Felix. Thank you so much!
This project is so ridiculous I love it.
Haha. Thank you!
"If you made it all the way to this point thank you verry mutch." No thank you verry mutch. Wish it would go on. Love you RUclips Channel. Greetings from Holland.
Thank you!
This workbench is finer than the furniture in my house 🙂
Haha, thank you!
A beautiful crafted work table, love it
Fantastic build series. What a great workbench for the shop. This will definitely last a lifetime for you and your daughters to continue to make beautiful furniture. I've learned so much from your videos and enjoy every one. Thanks.
Thank you! And thanks so much for watching.
James you never cease to amaze me with your builds ....but this Table is Awsome !
Thank you! That is very kind.
very thorough build, watched all 4 episodes. Fantastic results and I did learn alot - blind dove tail drawers- I have the exact same porter cable jig you show. Thank you for taking time to explain each step. Man with that kind of help around the shop you can take on much larger projects vs working alone. I found the process about making the top flat very interesting- using boat building technique. Your helpers are becoming highly skilled wood workers with a great instructor to teach them the techniques.
I love this build series James. Just came across it today. Going to scroll back and catch it from the beginning. Great bench!
Hi Javi! Cool. Thanks. 😁👍🏻
Very well designed table. It looks like it is worth every second it took to plan and build.
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WORKBENCH IN THE WORLD
Hi John, you are far too kind. Thank you!
thank you James and the girls . yup work of art .
I'm jealous. What a nice looking and useful place to make the magic happen! Another awesome make!
Thank you!
Lovely work James, Maya and Sai. I have watched a number of your videos James and you should be congratulated for your teaching skills. Your explanations are clear and concise. Some of the best videos on RUclips for woodworkers. Regards- all the way from Tasmania, Australia.
Hi Michael. Thank you very much!
Fantastic series. Thank you very much.
Really enjoyed all these videos on building this extreme torsion box! Thank you for sharing. I learned a ton and can't wait to build my own! Thanks again!
Already bought my set of plans to add this beaut to my shop!
Hi Bob! Thank you! Will you send us some pictures if you get time?
James This is a very impressive project. You have taught your girls well, They are indeed fine craftsperson's and they show their care and skill at the trade. You can be proud. I had three girls who also became skillful in woodworking. Thanks so much for the videos. John in Pensacola
Hi John, thank you very much!
I just bought the plans and can't wait to get started making this. Unfortunately big leaf maple is not in the budget. Your table is amazing! Thank you for showing how its done.
Perfect explanations and it is the most BEAUTIFUL work table and that big FAMILY, especially the girl who looks out and smiles SALUDOS DESDE MÉXICO
Awesome job and awesome table !! Thanks for taking the time to film all of this build , I really enjoyed watching !
Amazing workmanship James and family. Love that you all work together on this project also enjoyed your explanations for your processes thank you for your time and effort.
Terrific project James (and your fine family of help).
absolutely love this torsion bench one of the best I have seen and will be using a lot of the info in my own bench when I make one , love the detail in the video as well thanks
Ah the final part & it looks great. Great job.
Yes. Finally done! Thanks Andrew.
Absolutely the most amazing beautiful work table I have ever seen, the kids and yourself should be very proud. Great job!! Thanks for sharing!!
I use paste wax on my bandsaw table and jointer/planer to assist with the wood sliding over - it seems to help keep the rust down as well. I just reapply every so often just like you. Love this table.
Great tip. Thank you!
Awesome work guys and gals. Alot of details and great ideas. I came across this after searching out table saw outfeed tables and watched you build your sled. All great ideas. Cheers mate. 😎🍻
Excellent 4 part video, thoroughly enjoyed it and am now feeling inspired and looking forward to building my own bench and incorporating some of your techniques.
Beautiful work James, Mia and Cy ! :-) Dennis
Hi Dennis. Thank you so much! There are many ways to spell their names, (I am not criticizing, I am delighted that you did) but we spell them as Maya and Sai. Thank you very much for watching. :-)
~James
King's Fine Woodworking ok great ... sorry
It’s all good my friend. :-)
Beautiful table james well done and thanks for sharing your work with us
Thank you, Warren!
Again, that assembly table/work bench is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing it with us woodworking mortals. Makes me feel like a reel "mud-blood". (And also a bit jealous).
Hi Thomas. Thank you so much for watching.
I think you need to re name it the Rolls Royce of Assembly tables. I have not seen a better version. :D
Haha, Thank you!
Well done James keep it up
joe mccarthy, thank you!
absolutely brilliant. best one i've seen ever
Hi Tom. Thank you!
The only bad part of this 4 part build is it’s over and now I have to wait for your next video.
Hi Jared. In that case, I will hurry to make the next one. Thank you for watching our videos!
Very, Very nice Bench, Just awesome something to be very proud of for a life time. Thanks for sharing your build King Family. You have found yourself a new subscriber.
Beautiful build James! I really like the purple heart wood and the way you used it. I wish I had room for this table in my shop, but perhaps I'll get a bigger shop down the road. Love what you do my friend.
Hi Daniel, thank you!
This is the nicest assembly workbench table I have ever seen great job really love your videos
Thank you. That is very kind of you!
Amazing, im so anxious to get mine underway!!!
Awesome! Send some pictures.
This has to be the nicest outfeed table I've seen haha, awesome work guys!
You must have been a ship builder in a past life. Lol very good.
Very clear narration. Thanks.
Thank you!
Outstanding sir! You and your girls do good work. I think H.O. Studley would like it.
Great job well done team.. Very nice work and great instruction video
What a beautiful table! I've been looking forward to this final video since the first one came out. Love the videos, informative and entertaining.
Thank you!
Beautiful work. I am truly impressed. Can't wait to see what you and your crew does next.
Thank you very much Jimmy!
Amazingly entertaining! I enjoyed the explanation of why, how and what to do, great content.
Awesome build series, I learnt so much. Well done to you and your team and thanks for sharing it with us. It truly is a magnificent work bench and beautifully made.
Thank you so much, Phil!
Another awesome video and learning opportunity for us novices.. fantastic stuff.
Thank you!
I love how it came out hopefully someday I have a place to have a shop and I will definitely build one of them great job as always
You are the hero. I learned a lot. thanks.
Thank you!
An outstanding piece of shop furniture. I like your jig for drilling dog holes. That’s something I’ll need to make once I get to that point in the workbench I’m making. Your idea of finishing up with a drill for dog holes that go all the way through the bench should work. I also like the idea of using paste wax to keep glue from sticking to the bench. I have seen others do that but if it works with all the glue you use on your projects it’s definitely worth a try on my assemble table. I fully agree on your use of lacquer for shop furniture because, as you said, it’s easy to apply and easy to repair. I’ve been using Deft for at least 55 years, but here in California I can now only get it in spray cans. Our government has banned non-water base lacquer in cans. Even though I have an HVLP sprayer I can’t use Deft in it.
Hopefully you will send pictures of your build. I am looking forward to seeing them. I have heard that about California - a lot of chemicals can't be used there. It's probably a good thing.
King's Fine Woodworking I’m working on making a video of the workbench build for my RUclips channel. I’m sure that it won’t be as polished as your build videos but I think I’m doing enough different things that people will get something out of it once it’s done. Yes, it may be good that we’ve eliminated a lot of chemicals out here but at 71 it’s hard to change to a different finish after using it for so long.
Awesome James, that is one lovely beast of an assembly table!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you sir,
looks amazing. I just hope once again the FAA looks into this build for ideas on future runways.
looking forward to the next build, and if that Assembly Table just happens to just up and leave please do not look my way. LOL.
Haha. Thank you! I would chain it down so it doesn't disappear in the night, but it is so heavy that if someone can manage to steal it, they've earned it, haha.
Watched this project. Nice work. Whish I had the skills.
Thank you!
Another amazing build! Well done to you and the family!
Thank you!
Beautiful!
that was beautiful my friend keep up the good job
Very nice job you guys!
Thank you. Your videos are very informational. I have learned a lot. Someday I will build my own.
Hi Eddie. Thank you!
Beautiful! I love the Purple Heart accents.
Thank you!
What a great build series and a really solid assembly table too.
I think the only way you could make this better would be to have a replaceable top for when you eventually get the top dinged up to a point where you can flatten it again you can simply replace the top 3/4" sheet of plywood with a fresh one. I would think you could get away without fixing it in at all and let gravity and suction keep it in place?
Is there a reason you didn't make the top replaceable?
That is one beautiful workbench!
Thank you! I really appreciate it.
