Current Work Bench Option

[BleakChimera]

I just bought a Glowforge Pro! I have worked with one extensively before, so I’m excited to have my own. I looked for good workbench options in the forum, but unfortunately none of those listed in the forums are available anymore. At $350 it’s a little spendy compared to other possible options, but the drawer dimensions are pretty much perfect for ProofGrade materials, with a large drawer for other items. I wanted something as compact as possible and on wheels.

Here’s a good option using Ikea hardware/surfaces:

IKEA Glowforge Table Hack w/ Drilling Template and Leg Clamps

All, Since anything that is worth doing is worth overdoing, I way over thought the IKEA Table that others have shown off before. [Finished2] I wasn’t super thrilled with gluing the feet down to each layer, so I came up with some laser cut parts to secure each layer to each other. [ringsScrewsCloseup] I also created a video showing the process of assembly and how to use the template. Video can be found here: https://youtu.be/UJM3_4iAEds Instructions: TEMPLATE.SVG Instructions Materials: …

That’s beautiful! I really wanted closed sides because it will be living in an office space more than a workshop. I absolutely love the way that looks, though, and it seems perfectly functional.

Thanks @eflyguy for mentioning my table video! After using the IKEA Hack table for a couple weeks, I’m still super happy with it. I can see how @BleakChimera might want closed sides though, but I do like being able to see materials I have on hand with a quick glance.
