I’ve been doing “two-week build” projects inspired by maker shows like Prototype This! and obviously MythBusters (i get the sense it was the same production team for both).

I needed a workbench for my shop, so I decided to build my own version of Jamie Hyneman’s “Jamie Special” table, with a few modifications for how I actually work / what I needed in a work table.

He mentions it in a couple videos, most prominently in this one

Some things I changed:

• Framed on all sides (I didn't need a nested version and if I want to add a center support long term having both sides framed will allow for that)
• Bolted through metal instead of relying on screws for top surface installation
• Had to use 1.5" square steel tube since my "local" metal supply didn't have any 1" on hand.
• Didn't put a second layer on top yet but it's modular so I can add that later at my leisure / as my application requires (had dog-hole top suggested which is interesting.)
• Retractable Casters (because I work alone a lot and need to be able to move it around without hearing metal scrape on concrete, but also don't want the casters to be load bearing)

I documented the whole process because I figured other builders might find parts of it useful or maybe improve on it and I couldn't find a full tutorial / buildout of the whole thing anywhere.

Video here if anyone wants to see the full build process:

Curious, has anyone else here built their own version or taken inspiration from Mythbusters shop setups? The wall of bins seems particularly cool (to me anyways, parts organization is the bane of my existence). Also any feedback on the build is totally welcome.
