Posted on can a hollow core door make a legit torsion box table?

I would say probably not… and I don’t think the MDF would help much because it only adds weight and not sheer strength. I suggest starting from scratch. However, my “utility” work bench is made from two solid core doors glued and bolted together and “edgebanded” with 2×4s. It was cheap, fast and extremely strong and heavy. It may sag a little, I don’t rely on it for flatness. But in two years I haven’t noticed any sag. I even have a vice mounted on it. I got the doors from a salvaged building supply warehouse for next to nothing. -- Happy woodworking! |
