      I would not normally complain about background music in a video, unless it is particularly obnoxious or it drowns out the informations being provided.. The information provided is more important to me that the backhround music.However, I find that I prefer videos that have no, or very low volume, background music, and I am more likley to subscribe to and revisit that type of video. Having said that, it's your channel, so your choice.

    Hello from Canada Zack. I want to send you a thank you for the GREAT video. I know this was 3 years ago, and you were just new to RUclips but I have to say that you did an amazing job of explaining your process. Also your volume and music was not OVERPOWERING like so many other creators videos. The build was very easy to follow. And your plans are simple and clear, and adding in the part where you show the best way to maximize your 2x4’s was a very considerate addition. I took bits and pieces from your plans and made it my own. And that was the BEST part of this design, a very solid simple design that can be expanded on. MUCH APPRECIATED.

  • @jonputnam5745
    @jonputnam5745 Год назад +3

    Just found your channel and you've definitely got the camera and editing skills. I think I may do a modified version of this. I'm thinking the base for the saw will get its own legs, the sides will have the rockler step casters, and use the toggle latches like on your modular assembly table build. This way they can serve multiple purposes. Sometimes I just need that bit more assembly room! Also nice to see someone finally build something at a reasonable work height. I'm 6'5" and feel your pain with all of the kitchen counter height stuff. My 42" tall saw horses always annoy my Father In Law.

  • @dougwhite8394
    @dougwhite8394 Год назад +4

    Great video! I noticed you had some splitting of the particle board when you added the first screw on the left fence. Just a suggestion but after drilling your pilot holes, use trim screws near the edges. They have smaller heads and won’t cause that split like the drywall screws did.😊

  • @swampybman7741
    @swampybman7741 2 года назад +1

    Very nice work and plans! May I suggest that you raise the height of the fence by 1/8 in. This allows sawdust to escape and not throw off your measuements along the board's length. Yes, one can clean out that space with a brush, but to make the plan perfect raise the fence by one eight of an inch to keep production going. You made the build very well done! Looking foreward to more builds!

    • @tedtitanbinski1255
      @tedtitanbinski1255 Год назад +1

      Great suggestion. I would also add a half circle on the back side for the saw's power cord to go down and /or dust collection in the future. But this is a start and it really gets me in the right direction.

    Exceptional video! I'm in early retirement and have recently fallen in love with DIY projects. I've watched hundreds of videos on RUclips and elsewhere. I like the speedups through the actual build with the narration. I didn't notice the music. I was to busy watching the excellent craftmanship and attention to detail. I subscribed and hope to see many more videos from your channel. Oh, and thans for the free plans!

  • @BAMLilMessi10

    Thanks for the video and the plans. I just finished my mitre saw table and next up is the latching modular workbenches. That will be my project for this weekend. On the mitre saw table, I had to put adjustable legs on mine since the garage floor is uneven and I used sanded plywood for my tops and fence. I then put paste finishing wax on the whole thing and I like the way it turned out. Thanks again for the video and plans.

  • @garrettswoodworx1873
    @garrettswoodworx1873 Год назад

    Great video! Not sure why I'm just seeing it 2 years later but at least I'm here now. Music doesn't bother me too much but I wouldn't mind if it were a bit lower. Here's a tip you might want to try (assuming it hasn't been suggested already): When you were gluing the legs together they slipped around a lot. After you spread the glue, sprinkle a "pinch" of table salt into the glue. Grains of salt are very sharp and will help eliminate the slippage while you get the clamps installed, then dissolve. Keep up the great work!

  • @KenOcton

    I like your table(s). Pretty much what I want to build so will follow your plans. You mentioned that you got some rough edges from the circular saw when cutting the melamine faced board. That's probably because you have to turn the board upside down so that the circular sawblade cuts into the melamine not out of it, giving break out.

    I realize this is an older video, but it just showed up on my feed. Since you asked, I think you did something that was fantastic in your editing. The idea of showing the design coming progressing as you build it with animated graphics--keep that coming. Perhaps even add a design review with graphics in the beginning, sort of like a walk through. Enjoyed the video and definitely picked up a few ideas for my miter station.

    This Miter Saw Table looks awesome. It is just what I am looking for. I have just started to build my own woodworking shop and this Miter Saw Table for me is a must. What I really like is that you designed it to take a roll away tool chest as I have one too and this will be perfect for my needs. Many years ago I acquired quite a few sheets of 3/4" plywood so I am going to use that and glue some black Laminate on top of that to make the table top (Hope that works). This is going to be a learning experience for me. Thanks again!

    Zach, actually was going to say that 17 min of that music was annoying, but you’ve already figured that out. Some folks use even worse music & so loud that no matter how great the skills, I move on to something that doesn’t scramble my brain while I’m trying to learn.
    Speaking generally of all RUclips videos.. If the content is good & the teacher is good, why add the distraction of mind numbing background noise? It’s a deterrent to their channels, not incentive to watch more.
    With my rant out of the way… THANK YOU!! Love your style of instruction as well your brilliant plans. I AM now subscribed & a committed fan!!

    I absolutely love this table layout. I'm probably going to do mine with a white melamine board (It's what's available) for this build. I'm considering using melamine for the modular workbenches as well.

So far I've enjoyed the only two videos of yours that I've seen which has prompted me to subscribe. Nice work!

    @GaryBowen73 2 года назад +3

    video and the miter station look fantastic! however that glue on the fence is not going to hold anything since you attached it to the melamine. the brads and screws are the only thing holding it now. and that'll probably be enough for a fence. If you wanted a glue adhesion, you would need to route a rabbet even if only deep enough to cut away the melamine and then adhere the particle board to particle board.

    • @BearMountainBuilds
      @BearMountainBuilds  2 года назад +1

    U DA MAN! I appreciate you brotha! I’m glad you finally got us a way to say thanks!! I talked to you via email not to long ago. I just said the people that appreciate the free plans like myself, would like to thank you with a little more than a thumbs up and subscribe! I could be wrong but I kinda got the feeling you we’re a little uncomfortable… like maybe it would seem like you were begging for money. (My words not yours)Either way glad you did. You’ve earned any money we send.

    Almost finished with my miter saw table. This is only my 3rd build and am learning a lot. Old dog new tricks. I am waiting for the knob kit to arrive so I can finish up. I modified the size to fit my tight space and had to go with white melamine because I couldn't find anyone with black in my area but it'll work all the same. I'll post pics when I am done. Thanks for the instructions!

    this was great. I'm still new to the hobby so i don't have a lot of stuff yet, but i like the simplicity of the builds and not requiring a ton of fancy gadgets/cuts.
    One question: I've seen others use slat joints but on a 4x4 then removing material. is that stronger vs gluing/screwing 2 2x4's together? or is the strength negligible? I'm not looking to put an anvil on anything, but just looking for my own knowledge. Thanks in advance.

      I like the 2x4 option better for a couple reasons
      1. 2x4 is cheaper
      2. The 2x4s will resist twisting and warping after they’re glued together while the 4x4 has a good chance of twisting
      3. Unless you’re planning on putting an elephant on the table strength differences are a wash

      @@BearMountainBuilds really appreciate the response! I figured it probably wouldn't be that big a difference, but the more you know! keep up the great work! can't wait to see more! (i was going to try to clean the garage out and make some space and start on my bench and then it rained -.- so...this weekend! )

    You should scuff the surface of malamine with sandpaper before gluing, so there is something for it to bond to.

    @BearMountainBuilds - regarding your melamine chipping - If you use masking/painters tape over your cut line, it will prevent chip out. Press it down with some good thumb pressure and you will have a clean cut. Cheers

    If you use white melamine you can make pencil marks to reference stop blocks then wipe away.
