New Shop Table

[rfulford]

I just completed the prototype for a shop table I have been thinking about ever since I built this workbench for my garage. It has a 5'x12' surface and is almost entirely cut from 3/4" shop grade plywood. The top is 3/4" MDF with 1x2 poplar edging. The pieces are cnc cut and aligned with 1/2" dowels during glue up. I am really looking forward to building more and slowly getting rid of the 20 year old swayback tables currently on the production floor.

I like it. I need to make some more tables for the shop, if you don't mind me asking how much did the materials run?

Thanks,
Chris

That looks very similar to the table my father built me when I first started. Except he never put in the dividers so the whole bottom was open for storing larger things, and the lower shelf was accessible from the ends as well as the sides.

38" from top to bottom? Thought mine was high. It's shy of 4 feet
