New workbench from an old, homemade nightstand.
A small move. Or a migration of machines around the workshop; today, the drilling machine is being moved.
Of course, simply up and moving them isn't our method. We're building a fully functional workbench, taking into account all the experience gained over the years.
And now the most interesting part: the new workbench will be made from an old cabinet. More precisely, two cabinets, an old one and a new one, but the first one served as the prototype for the base.
In the video, you'll see metalworking, woodworking, and interesting design solutions. Incidentally, I'm doing a lot of my own work for the first time. Organizing the workspace in the workshop with maximum possibilities in minimal space.
Yes, my workshop is small, and I need to squeeze everything out of every available centimeter.
Also, I should point out upfront that no single workbench in the workshop can be considered a standalone piece. They are all created to complement each other and function as a single surface when needed.
The most interesting thing is that the workbench appears to be made of beech, but it contains more plywood... Saving wood, so to speak.
