My assembly table can lift a car! | The ULTIMATE Woodworking workbench!

We are building a assembly table that is overbuilt and overly pricey in about every way. We are taking a car lift and building a torsion box style workbench out of MDF on top of it for the ultimate assembly table. #workbench #assemblytable If you want to help support my channel checkout my page on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/squaresplinter Check out @Mike Farrington and his awesome workbench. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlM0aQ-VpUM Information on my lift model/specs: Snap-On by Wheeltronic Model - EELR338A 6500 lbs Capacity Tools that helped me out: Awesome quick connect dust fittings from Rockler: https://amzn.to/3FoPoEk www.rockler.com My Amazing Makita Track Saw: https://amzn.to/3vJIRAF Favorite Jigsaw: https://amzn.to/37jvZYO Awesome trim router: https://amzn.to/3ybu0AR Great level for layout and leveling of course: https://amzn.to/3kHMUHy FOLLOW ME on Social Media: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/squaresplinter Instagram - http://www.instagram.com/squaresplinter Facebook - http://www.fb.com/squaresplinter Website: www.squaresplinter.com A torsion box consists of two thin layers of material (skins) on either side of a lightweight core, usually a grid of beams. It is designed to resist torsion under an applied load. A hollow core door is probably the most common example of a torsion box (stressed skin) structure. The principle is to use less material more efficiently. The torsion box uses the properties of its thin surfaces to carry the imposed loads primarily through tension while the close proximity of the enclosed core material compensates for the tendency of the opposite side to buckle under compression. Torsion boxes are used in the construction of structural insulated panels for houses, wooden tables and doors, skis, snowboards, and airframes - especially wings and vertical stabilizers. ~~Credit Wikipedia

45 Layer Epoxy & Wood Veneer Light fixture

A 45 layer Epoxy Resin and wood veneer light fixture project sounds great unless it almost puts an end to your Youtube adventure. This project got strung along for almost 10 months with me getting kicked out of my old shop and having to move which pretty much devastated my motivation. This was one of my most challenging build to date. As always this project is mostly for inspiration due to it being very difficult and also really expensive to replicate. Either way I hope you enjoy the video and I thank you for sticking with me and the channel.
