So I've been contemplating making a new work table ever since I started perusing the forums here. I had some tables but they were too tall and poorly constructed not to mention they were not functional. So I started with the premise that I wanted 12 feet of table with 4 foot of that being shorter than the rest so I could mount a router table on it.

I snooped around the Internet and found the attached and used that as a basic guide.

I then changed the design as needed to fit my application. I'll post some pics of construction and finished product in a second.

Most of the construction complete.

I built pockets for in - table storage for things that would normally take up space on the table top. I tried hiding the hinges but didn't get the desired results.

I had hell getting the thing level so I stole an idea I found here and used inserts and carriage bolts ad leveling feet.

Little polyurethane and this part is done. I need the space to keep working so I'm going to add the 4 foot section at a later time. For now it's waiting for the thing the dry and getting organized.

Trying to figure out which way is up has gotten me dizzy. And a sore neck.

Not sure why my pics are right on my phone but they uploaded upside down.

Here is another picture that shows the completed work bench (and is not upside down).

I still have another 4-6 feet of table to build - I am going to be mounting a router table to one part and a miter saw to the other and offsetting the heights of each so that the entire table space from miter saw to the workbench pictured here, can all be used as an even surface for cutting long lumber.

I'm pretty excited about it actually.
