Another rainy day saturday in the shop project finished

[BarryC]

I finally got back to finishing my assembly table by wrapping it with red oak. It is 4 x 8 and has 2 3/4 sheets of MDF and topped with hard board. The legs and rails were made by glueing together 3.5" strips of 3/4 ply. It is really easy to make a mortise and tennon joint this way until I can get a dedicated mortiser.

The amazing thing is it is only 1/8 out of level on one end and that may be because I have it sitting over an expansion joint in the floor. It looks like the rest of the top is dead flat.

Boy, someone was very busy this weekend! I didn't know it rained THAT much!
That is a very large work surface and looks quite sturdy. Good job.

You Gotta love tha assembly table Barry, 4' x 8' is a great size, and it doesn't seem to be taking up too much room in your shop. Here's to having many future projects assembled on that table:eusa_clap.

Looks great Barry! Like the way you did the end panels to prevent racking!
