Quote HistoryQuoted: I like your movable workbench. Thanks, it's a desk I had that was just sitting in the garage forever. I decided to put some wheels on it and use it for an assembly table. It is super solid and flat. It is so damn convenient to move it around and be able to work from all sides of it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Two thumbs up. All butt joints? No tenons or dowels? No, just pocket holes/screws. Pocket holes get a lot of hate from "real" woodworkers. I don't care though. I'm not making fine furniture, and have only been doing this a few months. If it weren't for the Kreg pocket hole jig, I never would have gotten into this. It made building things and joinery possible for me just starting out. Sure, I'd love to learn more and finer joinery methods, but these work great for what I'm doing and make it possible. I will delve into the world of classic joinery as I go along, but as I'm learning things, this suits me. |

Looks Cool. One suggestion for the next one.
Hidden magnetic unlocking system. No power needed.

That is neat, it would look good in a rec room or man cave.

4 coats of semi gloss polyurethane. I think I'm done. I was going to put X braces on the side, but now I'm not sure. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out considering I built my first wood project like 3 and a half months ago.
Thanks for all of the positive replies!  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

It looks very nice, nice work!
I need to build some small tables for the sides of my bed, and I think I'm going to steal your sliding top design, make a hidden locked space for a pistol |

Awesome.
It’d look even better done with something other than framing lumber. |

Wow dude, that's a hell of a good idea and it came out great. Two questions if you don't mind... 1. What happens if the battery dies on the fingerprint scanner. Is there a manual bypass? 2. Would it be possible to mount the scanner on the inside of the frame for concealment? |

Nice job, OP. You can also use magnetic locks, where you wave a magnet past the locks and they release. That's what ai use in one of mine.

It wasn't that long ago that I learned to make panel doors and made four of them (plywood center) and then one with glass (barrister style bookcase). I still need to learn how to set up a radial arm saw and a router table. Need to buy feather boards for the tablesaw. So much to learn and it doesn't end. Want some fun videos with woodworking hand tools? Watch Mark Estlea on Youtube. English trained. His method of instruction reminds me of my instructors at Trinidad State. |

Is there a manual bypass? 2. Would it be possible to mount the scanner on the inside of the frame for concealment? 1. There is a bypass with a micro USB key (can't really explain it) but worst case, I can remove the pocket screws that hold the bottom on if it ever came to that. 2. No, because that is the compartment. There is a piece of 1/2" plywood that is flush with the bottom of the top frame pieces. You can get a RFID lock just like this, but it has a key fob or card fob to open it. The cool thing with that, is you can put the fob inside a remote, coaster, trinket etc. I didn't do that only because that would be too easy for my little boys to open. You can also do a magnet lock, but again, that wasn't good for my situation. |

Looks great OP.
If you're like me, you'll build stuff, then get more tools, things like jointers and planers, then look at your earlier projects and have resist the urge to re-do them when you realize what you can easily do with the new tools  But that table looks good enough to stay just the way it is. You might mock up some cross braces to see if you like it, since it was your original plan, but it looks fine without them. |

But a Keltec? At least it’s not a HiPoint carbine Red LEDs would be less glaring as another poster noted the light giving you away & save your night vision |
