Good example, how to make a DIY workbench from improvised materials. The author used an old table and used metal boxes. It turned out to be a good table, besides being mobile, thanks to the wheels attached to the lower frame.

 

It’s clear that you won’t even be able to make a homemade table for free, but the cost of metal workpieces and paint is not so big if you look at how much a factory workbench costs.

DIY workbench drawings

To make any design, you need to have a drawing, diagram, plan - something that you can build on in your work. If there is a clear model, the floor is already done, do it yourself will be easier to do a bench workbench. How do you like this option?

• For stiffness, a 5 mm thick steel corner with an edge of 35 mm was used here.
• For the tabletop, a 2 mm steel sheet mounted on a 50 mm board was taken.
• Thick boards are not needed for shelves, you can use plywood with a thickness of 10 mm or more.
• Also, for drawers and shelves, a corner thickness of 3 mm is enough, why should the iron be wasted in vain.

If you are planning a stationary structure, fasten the structure with anchor bolts (for concrete floor) for wood - with screws. Along the contour, a wooden tabletop with a metal sheet on the working surface is closed with 20x20 corners. Do not forget about safety impregnate the wooden parts with a refractory compound. Shelves can be made as you wish, open or closed, with doors, of course, more practical, less dust, and they can also be made of plywood. This diagram is not shown here, but you need to think in advance what equipment will be installed on the countertop in order to pre-drill the mounting holes. It is also necessary to calculate the number and size of tools, perhaps it makes sense to install another special stand with holders.

The author used welding to make a workbench, although it can be assembled with bolts. True, it takes longer to drill holes in the metal is not an easy job, especially since there will be a lot of holes, plus you will constantly need to sharpen the drill.

How to make a steel vise for a bench

Vice metalwork are made of different material, most often found iron. They are well suited for various types of work and are relatively inexpensive, cast iron itself is a cheap material, has a relatively low melting point, good fluidity and casting. However, it is brittle and not as strong as most other iron alloys, such as steel, for example. In addition, it is very difficult to weld effectively, so as a rule, cast iron vices are not durable.
Vise made of steel is quite rare, and their prices, to put it mildly, bite.Therefore, you can be satisfied with the cheap and hope that it does not break, or put your budget down a bit to buy a good quality vice. There is also a third option, do steel vise do it yourself. The version presented by the author was made by him in one day. All you need to do is cut the parts and weld them together, even more precision is not required here. Low costs: studs, nuts, welding wire and square pipe. No matter how much you save money, now you will have your own metal vise, even if you break it, how it is your job can be easily repaired.

Mounting a bench vise on a workbench

Fixing a vise on a bench is not a difficult task, but it has its own nuances. The first step is to calculate and drill holes for fastening. Check that they pass normally in a vise and countertop. In order to provide some additional protection against damage to the table surface, place a piece of steel plate above and below the table surface. In this case, 75 mm galvanized steel was used, which is cut with a bimetallic plate up to 165 mm square. After all the holes have been drilled, lay down the top plate in the desired position, and insert the side bolts through the washers, then tighten the bottom bolts.
