SMART, STURDY WORKTABLE

摘要

In the shop, it's pretty easy to construct durable benches at optimal height, but at the job site is another story. For years, I used plywood or an old door resting on sawhorses, and I have even turned garbage cans upside-down for a work surface-disappointing solutions at best. Fortunately, better options have come along. I've used Festool's MFT, a great portable bench, for several years now. The ability to accurately line up a saw track perpendicular to a fence was a game changer, and the 20-mm grid simplifies almost every clamping or work-holding task. But without buying additional leg braces, the bench is rickety and has a small work surface.
