DIY Workbench Split Top & Gap Stop
Просмотров 56914 дней назад
Join along as I build a hardwood workbench top out of reclaimed cargo container flooring (along with some scraps). I really wanted a split top bench so I could more easily clamp down workpieces. Through the process of planning, I decided to try a poor man's version of a solid gap stop as I often need workpieces to not slide around when doing various tasks. I'm very pleased with how it turned ou...

Making a Crosscut Sled

    I really dig those holders. If you use a stop block cut with a 45 , it will eliminate that buckling. Just take the offcut from cutting the miters and clamp it with the long edge against your Miter's fence. if the offcuts are small use one with a 90 on the other end and butt it up to any old piece of scrap wood and clamp that down.

    • @kspencer_handcrafted

      Thanks for the tip. I ended up making a zero clearance fence which eliminated the sketchiness on my subsequent coaster sets.

  • @peterdement
    @peterdement 15 дней назад

    Would you lose any function by cutting 50% of the back fence off and 45 degree cuts off of the sled base to further reduce size, weight and awareness?

    • @kspencer_handcrafted
      @kspencer_handcrafted 15 дней назад

      I don’t imagine you would lose any function. Yes, it would cut down on weight, but my only fear would be the rigidity. Plus, I’ve trimmed some pretty hefty workpieces on one side of the sled, and I like the support the full size bed gives. If you’re working with mostly smaller pieces, I bet it would work well. Let me know if you give it a shot!

    At 10:47 it looks like the stop-block knob is preventing the wood from reaching the actual stop-block. Nice build, it looks like it gets around the size issue of the smaller SawStop - now I don't have an excuse to buy the SawStop :) Like most people (with a limited budget) I use trim routers in a small table. Putting a full size router in the larger table is a good upgrade. Subscribed.

      Good eye. Yes, I was aware of it as it was a temporary stop from my drill press. I made a custom one (with plenty of tolerance) from cherry to match the rest of the miter saw station after that build because I was tired of that stupid knob being in the way. 😆 Thanks for the sub!

      Yes, I realize that wasn’t the safest.

    • @kspencer_handcrafted
      @kspencer_handcrafted Месяц назад

      Yeah, it is pretty heavy, but yeah, I did enjoy it a lot until it started malfunctioning. For some reason it started timing out if you don’t engage the trigger right after depressing the nailer. You have to remove and reinstall the battery to reset it. Looking into the new Dewalt, or the Ridgid which is $100 cheaper.

    • @kspencer_handcrafted

      Yes, i could see that being a good solution too. I eventually may install a designated shop vac that powers on when the miter saw is engaged, but I love the suction power of the 2 HP collector, especially with the combined hood and saw extraction (which isn’t great from the stock dust shroud.) I wonder if some of the aftermarket shrouds would negate the need for a hood…

    Really like the coaster holder. I have built a few coasters, but struggle with the holder and how to make something that looks good. Just a tip as well, when using a router on square pieces like this, I would recommend doing your champher or roundover on the grain end first and then the sides. If you have some tear out on the endgrain, the missing chunk can be mitigated when you rout the sides. Yes it has happened to me on a couple of occassions. I was helping someone learning to use a router a couple months ago, and they didn't really understand what I was saying. They understood when the router tore a piece out of the side of the endgrain, and they were able to fix it by routing the sides.

    • @kspencer_handcrafted
      @kspencer_handcrafted 2 месяца назад

      Thanks! Yes, I’m aware of that tip, but have actually found it to often backfire on minimal chamfers/round overs. Sometimes the tear out from doing the end grain first is more significant than the small 1/8” round over on the sides can cover up, but for some reason doing the long grain first helps the end grain from blowing out when doing it second because of the transition already in place.
