Simply brilliant in my humble opinion. Thanks for sharing your work and veiws. God bless you 👍🏾

Just stumbled across this video this morning. Great design and you did a really nice job of showing/explaining each step in the build process. This would be great for my very small shop where space is at a premium. Thanks!

Great idea guys. I’m in San Diego too. I just made one for my job site work. I have to carry it quite far and putting one hand hole in the middle of the top makes it easy to tuck under my arm and pick it up and place it with one hand. It’s going camping with me too!

Great video. Keep putting your knowledge and ideas out. It only helps to make us all better.

Months ago I did a Ghetto MFT top out of 2’x4’ MDF WITH T-track and Miter Track as Guide. Will definitely incorporate some of your ideas. Thanx for sharing

So excited to finally see you on a screen slightly larger than 5 inches! Best of luck to you...

This is a great project~! I just picked up a 4'x6' Centipede and will definitely be making one of these. Thanks for sharing it~!

Really smart idea I built a Ron Paulk bench a few years ago think this idea will be a great idea for some additional work surface many thanks for posting

Just saw this, an amazing idea. I really liked your innovation on this. Great inspiration, gonna give this a try. Gotta a small shop so this is perfect. Just gotta figure out how to attach a vise and I am good to go. Thanks for sharing this. Outstanding stuff !!!!!!

Great build ! Functional , simple and portable! Thanks for sharing

Thank you so much for this video my man. I have been loving my ghetto bench for a couple of months now.

Built 2 of these and took them from LA to Denver to build some cabinets for my daughter and her boyfriends new home. They took up very little space in truck with the centipedes and other tools and gear. They were invaluable when breaking down sheet goods, assembling and edge banding. Boyfriend was so impressed on how versatile they were, I had to leave him one table for his future projects. Thanks for sharing your design.

Was thinking the same thing.

I started to make one with 1/2 inch birch as suggested but am adding a sheet of 1/4 to bottom because minimum thickness for Parf dogs is 18mm from what I was able to determine. So 3/4 inch may be better if that is one’s intent.

Came here for the centipede modification, stayed for the Scott Brown joke . My man, you got a subscriber!

I wouldn't rely on woodpeckers jig either. Their own "small print" on that jig basically says not for high accuracy lol

Very good ideas, what are those black and yellow boxes you have in the background?

Nicely done. I'm repurposing my garage and will loose 2/3 of the space so this is going to replace my big workbench. I worked at Rockler San Diego, wonder if you bought the clamps from me? :) The T Track source? TH&H?

great bench, well done. just asking, when you put both benches side by side to make the work surface larger, are they simply placed next to each other or are they tied together. In case of the latter can you please explain how they hold together? thank you

Thank you for your video.I'm going to make the same for my Bora Centipede system.

Nice !!

Can you add the tracks to the bora table tops for 2x4? You ll do the same for both halfs of the table. Wonder if that would work.

Great!

Graham is the best. 😂

What kinda track is that....ahh got you dog! 😄

Who does your playlist? 😄 Your flush cut vs precision cut philosophy reminds me of my days in set construction. Don’t sweat small mistakes because you’re gonna fix them anyway before the final pass. Guys that measured everything down to the mosquito’s c__t hair don’t get hired back for the next show because deadlines and schedules are everything and the bosses don’t like to pay a lot of OT.

Which makita and milwaukee routers is he using and why? Great video I'm looking for a router and wondering if M18 is way to go.

Awesome and fun. Loved how you made the slot for the square, never thought to use that technique to make perfectly centered slots and grooves. Two questions, what's your Instagram handle, and what clamps are you using in the tracks? Thanks so much.

I've just found the centipedes and they look great for my small workshop. I need a assembly table for glue-ups but if I could store it when I don't need it, I saves me a lot of space. Would the centipedes also work fine on a concrete floor which isn't super 100% flat? The top needs to be dead flat and accurate for mu glue-ups... Your video is 3 years old. Are you still happy with the centipedes? Thanks for sharing!

Are you OK with the 30" high Centipedes or would you prefer the 36" version?

Are you going to use it with caterpillar type legs? Here’s what I’d do (and I’m planning to do). I’m going to buy two sets of legs for 61 x61cm tables and make TWO table tops. One side of each table is going to get a 2x4” or 2x3” edge so they can be bolted together. I think I’ll go with the 2x4” because it would accommodate a t-track. (In UK, 2x4s are probably sold as 38mmx89mm.) This way I can use the tables independently or together. I’ve putting together an apartment workshop, so space is at a premium. It’s at the far end of a spacious living room, and I need to be able to put away and/or hide the workshop. I’ve got 70cm depth to work with because of the puerta to the kitchen, although actual workspace can be bigger (3 meters or more) when everything is open.

I've had the chance to use this table a couple of times now. It's fun to whip out in front of people:) I can see what people are talking about when they say the legs are delicate, but they're design to support a "mostly" vertical load, not be torqued from the side or pushed back into place. If you just let the table open or close on it's own and don't force anything, it works great kzread.infoUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh Once it's set up, it's pretty solid. My only gripe would probably be related to the clamps provided. They're not the highest quality. They do the job, so no big deal, but they could be better. All in all, pretty cool gadget.
