Added on March 16, 2011

From: Taylor

Location: Adelaide, Australia

Hobbyist or Pro: Hobbyist

Finish Used: Two coats minwax wipe-on poly followed by cabinetmaker’s wax

Wood Species: MDF, ply, hardboard

Project Description:
I had an old workbench that had a steel top so after watching Marc’s torsion box assembly table video, I decided to give building one a crack myself.

The box is primarily made from 1″ MDF and a hardboard layer on the top skin. I also put quite large dog holes to accommodate clamps so it would serve as a multi-function table also. I finished the edges with 1/2″ plywood which made it look great.
