Thank you Martin. If you mean the cart, here is the video link ruclips.net/video/5sKLZc4Meqs/видео.htmlsi=SPLzx7vjthW47B9k

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you. My son is a dab hand on the editing and graphics side and if a picture is worth a thousand words, moving graphics are even better

Hello Derek, Firstly, I trimmed the blocks down, gradually, until they were a tight knock in fit for the hollow legs. I did wonder whether I would need to put something like a Domino through the hollow leg into the block but during the construction I just used some 6mm (I think) screws with pre-drilling so that the plywood was not over stressed or the screws snapped or heads rounded over. With taking the time to trim the blocks carefully, the high level of friction plus screws seemed enough and I thought I would leave it at that. I have had 300kg of steel box section for my koi pond project on the bench and was able to raise the bench, move it within the workshop and drop it down without those blocks moving at all so I am reasonably confident that it will do for me.

Hello Derek. I'm sad to hear of your disappointment. I do my videos to put ideas in circulation, as a way of thanking the You Tube folks who have inspired me with their ideas. There are no drawings, as the inner legs were built to a square size as a consequence of the plywood scrap thickness in my store. I then made the double thickness legs to size to accommodate the laminate and castors. Laminate to provide a durable running surface and the castors were the smallest height castors I could find to keep the legs as small in cross section as possible. I disregarded the supposed load of each castor as you see so many cases being dragged along with broken castors and I worked on the basis that if I put a group top and bottom, any "tall poppies" might be squeezed down until all in the group were in contact with the laminate running surface. As to how many to choose, they were cheap by the 100 and the lateral forces say when bumping my heavy bench over the threshold onto my patio to get something large through the workshop and into the garden would, in my mind, quite considerable and a collapsed leg would have been a disaster. Do please ask other questions and I'll try and answer them.

I did wonder about using the space for Systainers but having it as storage is really useful for dropping in and then using offcuts does work well. If you have a look at my bench video ruclips.net/video/2NVK7pJcMOs/видео.htmlsi=DxW4BcvlAtIt_z2E you will see the drawers were made just slightly larger than a Systainer and so contents +/- trays are in each one for the relevant tool above and the Systainers are in the attic, in case of a service need.

And still growing, Ben. He's both skilled and strong.

Thank you again, Karl

Thank you for your kind comments Karl.

Thank you Andrew. Hope to get back to making more in the Autumn.

Hello Polpo_wood. Yes, I'm still happy but also fair to say my woodwork has taken a back seat this year with me building and commissioning an unusual koi pond.

Hello Paul. I hope to start producing more videos in the autumn.

@@alistairmarks thank you Alastair.

Hello Ricky. Thank you for your comment. If you have any friends who 3D print, they can download the Tinkercad file in the video description and be able to print it and indeed tinker with it if it doesn't print quite right. Tinkercad is a free web based CAD program.

Hello Paul and thank you your interest in my channel. I shall get the second part of the sled done at some point and in the end reversed the bearings and rail to get better accuracy, with the rail on the removeable pieces and the bearings on the sled. I bought the saw as a kit, with the saw, side table, fence, back table and sliding table. It was priced in a way that meant you got all four accessory pieces for just under the cost of three separately I had no need for the back table and sold it on and use my bench if I need an out feed. I have rarely used the sliding table although to be fair have been busy building a home extension and koi pond this past year anyway. The side table and proper fence are both a must, in my view and I use them as my default with the cart I made. Please look at that video if you haven't already. Does that help you?.

Hello sikosis999. The most important thing here is that I'm not an engineer, just a retired vet. surgeon in a home workshop showing what I did, as is, with no guarantee of success or correctness. I do tend to take a rather Victorian attitude to construction, meaning everything ends up very very strong, just in case. When I made the bench I had another 8x4 foot bench which is now away so if my new bench fails, I'll struggle to fix it. I need my bench to be able to bump over a half inch threshold to park it on the patio if I need wide access through to my back garden and that in a heavy bench, I would image is a significant lateral load on the structure. Your 750lb island is much heavier and if things go wrong potentially life altering, if it fell on someone and I'm not sure what "pucking up the top and bottom of the actuator" means. I would be very wary of that weight, in the circumstances and probably best to get advice or at least duplicate something commercially tested and safe. Thank you for your interest in my video and good lick with your project. 😀

@@AMBuilds excellent so i wasn't missing anything, you are a bit more of 'better safe than sorry' guy than i am :) i think i've settled on a metal H frame under the island with the casters and actuators attached directly to it, then racking that H into the bottom of the cabinet base. . . i'll get back when it's done :) i'm playing concrete monkey right now heh

I'm just a guy in his workshop making things for it and sharing the ideas so that others can make their own or indeed evolve the concepts into something better and hopefully share that. I'm sorry but I don't have a budget or equipment for full video recording and the few pounds we make from YT doesn't even cover the video editing software license. Even as they are it takes quite a few hours for me to write scripts and sort photos and even longer for my son to create the videos. It is an altruistic pursuit to pay back for the knowledge I've gained from others on YT

@@AMBuilds I for one, hope that you will be returning to share your experience on YT again. Kind regards from one who appreciates your contributions this far.

@@AMBuildsI welcome this valuable contribution.

Hello Steve, I haven't made the files public because the precise spacing of the files for your printer is specific to your printer, so the templates to lighten the back may not fit your MFT that you have made, without some tweaking. More significantly on the various thickness drop ins for the rail, the position of the rail retaining piece is arrived at by experimenting with your own MFT and rail. It would be extraordinary if you happen to choose the same position as me to a fraction of a millimetre, I designed all of the pieces on TinkerCAD and they are a relatively simple (as I'm a beginner on CAD) combination of basic shapes and so any TinkerCAD user could duplicate them to suit their MFT and their rail position. Does that make sense. Kind regards Alistair

Hello Peer If you mean Part 2 for the Crosscut sled, I do have the resources but just not the time at the moment, as I'm restoring my garden after building my workshop, garden room and a koi pond and the calendar is beating me hands down, so far this year. I shall get the part 2 posted at some point. Kind regards Alistair

Thank you Bryan. I hope I understand your question by answering I don't think the handle locks, as such but I have found it stays in place indicating a constant depth when planing multiple pieces unlike my previous cheap combi planer/thicknesser where the handle "unwound" indicating the workpiece would be planed slightly thicker on subsequent pieces put through.

Thank you.

Thank you Paul. There are vids on making the big MFT style top, the linear actuator legs and the planer drawer, on the channel. We hope to feature the rest at some stage in the future but can't promise when. It is based upon a torsion box joined low down to the ends and then self contained cabinets and a one sided torsion box, sitting on the cabinets with spacers to make it as flat as I could manage and then above that, the green top. Do you have a specific question? If so, please ask away and I'll do my best to answer

Thank you. That was our very first video and my son was just learning about video editing. He'll be pleased to hear your comments.

Thank you for your interest
