I'm watching this one shortly after watching one of your older videos and I have to say your VO style has improved dramatically. It sounds more like an actual explanation and not just a boring script read. Much appreciated!
I built one, (not quite as fancy as I have a limited budget) Bought a solid core exterior door 36" x 80" for top, utilized some re-purposed 4x4's (from neighbors' fence) and made a cantilevered shelf on one end for my old craftsman tablesaw, large hole in shelf with garbage bag (one end cut off) as a sawdust chute into shop built wooden box on castors to catch sawdust. End vice, storage drawers x 4, shelves for tools i seldom use Glue & tape rack & clamp storage- Tyler (I wish you tube would allow posting of pictures)
Thanks for this great video for an excellent project. I'll be starting my version of this next week. I need to incorporate a router with a fence that is easily removable.
If a guy that was setting up a new shop was building this table, I would recommend that he incorporate a router lift into it. I would also suggest changing the top to incorporate a downdraft table. But the way you built it...man I am in love. Beautiful project.
That's a great idea! I already have a router lift built into my table saw, if you squint real hard you can see it in the thumbnail picture but I agree that would be a great addition to a table like this.
Nice work. I also made an out feed / assembly table 14 or so years ago. The annoying part was when you need ur table say when you are assembling something at the same time, and your work piece gets in the way. 👊
Not sure you covered this, but formica is a brand name. There are several different names that can be used, wilsonart being one of them. The correct terminology is laminate and there all pretty much the same. Great build keep up the good work.
very nice set up. I have a similar outfeed/assembly table but I did t-track. I hate the t-track and wish I would have incorporated something with dog holes and match fit tracks. plan to replace the top to something similar to yours soon but my top was torsion boxed so I have a very thick top.
I'm new here, but after a couple of videos, it was an easy decision to subscribe. I'm enjoying your style. You have lots of compition on the tube, but it seems like you are up for the challenge. Keep up the good work.
theres so many little things with these tables that i think people notice after the fact like what happens when something falls thru the hole? how do you retrieve it. Also when dust falls in there, how do you clean it up? i think a table that addresses this and the other little things would make an ultimate table. I know dennis from hookd on wood addressed this issue and well thought out. Cant wait to make mine. great video still
Awesome build! One suggestion - if you didn't want the T tracks on the sides to protrude - just bore 1" holes on either end of the t track before installing it, it works great and you don't snag anything on the edges!
I have an outfeed table with a pre-fab maple top with a similar dog hole pattern. I enclosed it underneath, slapped a DC fitting on the end apron, and now the entire thing is a down-draft table. Super handy! Not nearly as big as your tho. Nice work!
@@MWAWoodworks I need to use a block of wood if I want to use a hold-fast, because they’ll whack the little 1/4” ply if whatever I’m holding is thin, but that’s a small compromise. I just screwed thin plywood rails at a slight incline onto the front and back apron, slid the plywood in, then held it in with blue tape. So if I drop something in there (and can’t get it with a magnet), I can take the tape off and fish it out. Or fish it thru the dust port. Even if you have a shop vac on a random orbit sander, it’s nice to have that to really get the dust flowing away from your face! I just disconnect the hose and use it for my router table or drum sander. Super handy.
Seems to be popular in my feed today- this is the second I've seen (the other was Jason at Bourbon Moth). Very similar, but with some differences that reflect personal preferences/needs. Nice work putting this together- lovely finished product!
Thing i love about your style is you make it look all so easy then you explain what you would do if it was not working as expected that's the trait of a good teacher
@MWAWoodworking...that sir...is a thing of beauty! I'm totally jealous of your work shop...Just found you today...loving the humour...man glitter...lol.
Aren't you as cute as a speckled pup in a red wagon...🐕 Great job! Awesome shop too. What is so nice about your work bench is it can be configured in many ways but remain the same size and shape. Thanks for sharing this video.
Very nice project. As a fellow woodworker, I am convinced we spend most our time building nice projects for our shop rather than use our shop to build nice projects for others!! 😁😂 I have often wondered when I finish building all of the shop projects I think of, what will I do then?!?
This is a very nice design, well thought out. I did something similar to my 40x90 workbench, breaking into 3 pieces so I could CNC whatever type of top I want (dogs, t-track, combo, etc.) One recommendation is to give access to the top t-slot of your extrusions. The Kreg Automaxx clamps fit and they are brilliant for top or side clamping, quickly and easily. They were a game changer when I added extrusion to all 4 sides of my bench. I hardly use my Festool clamps anymore.
That looks absolutely incredible! One question though, how do you keep debris out of all those holes? Will it fall into the drawers or am I missing something?
So those bessy clamps you have.... the holes on the end are for a bracket you can buy and turn 2 of your 50 inch clamps into a 106 inch clamp. Awesome build!
Hello Matt, love the videos and I have learned a great deal from you. I have an existing outfeed and work station. You inspired me to change the top to an MFT. My question is, what is under yours? Drawers, cabinets? Where does the dust and other stuff drop into? Thank you and I appreciate your efforts!
Even though I have a large table saw, I still end up using a track saw to break down ply wood. So I think my out feed table is going to incorporate track saw accessories, festool dust extractor and cyclone. Maybe even integrate sanding storage 😅
Hey could you do a video of your miter station, a review I guess, what you like, what you would do differently? Is the depth you went with the right depth? Also how many sheets would it take to build that miter station you have? Thanks a lot love your videos
Hi. Great video. What size Aluminum Extrusions did you use to properly hold the dovetail clamps? I like this as an option to routing out my own in hardwood. Thanks.
I think it's probably best that you put the edge banding on your table top, after the formica. This actually conceals the razor sharp edges of the formica. GREAT BUILD!!!!!!!!
At 7:37 I would have clamped the middle of one leg to the middle of the diagonally opposit leg. Clamping the top will only correct the top corners and the bench will have to be rolled over to do the bottom 4 corners. Cheers.
Weird question -- would the dog holes on the top, lead to sawdust getting into the drawer that they are on top of? I built a similar workbench but with my custom dimensions and just thought about that as I was drilling in the dogholes. Was thinking like a "crumb tray" design to prevent dust getting into the drawer but still allowing access to dog holes... not sure if you had any insight or suggestions :)?
Perfect. I’ve been looking for the perfect outfield table that incorporates MFT dog hole, some clamping, etc. Great job. Will be ordering your plans. May mod it to put some sustainers in it may not.
I really like the workbench you built. So much so, I am looking at purchasing the plans. I do have one question though. How are you mitigating the dust, glue, and other debris that falls into the dog holes from getting into the drawers?
I dont do anything to mitigate it. I'f I'm doing a really messy glueup I have silicone mats that I put on the table. Every once in a while I vacuum out the upper drawer, maybe once every 6 months
@@MWAWoodworks Oh I bet ! I'm fixing to build me a new outfeed/assembly table. Gonna have to steal a couple of your features to add to mine. I'm very impressed.
How about routing grooves in between the dog holes for track clamps? Gives you other options for holding down your workpieces. Something similar to the new track clamp work bench Woodpecker came out with.
That is quite a build and amazing out feed table. Could be main workbench for normal woodworker like me 🙂. I didn't realize 80-20 works for Festool and microjig clamps - thanks for sharing!
Have learned a lot from your videos and putting to good use. Nicely done. But how many of us has access to a CNC tool? Would a heavily waxed wood surface work against wood glue adherence? Thanks!
At one employer, we had a "spindal saw". It was a cast block with a movable vertical mounted motor, to which a blade was mounted. I could raise the spinning blade up or down by 150 mm.
Question. Has adding the Formica to the table top interfered with being able to use your festool clamps? I have the bessey ratcheting clamps which are exactly like the festool brand. The metal “L” section of the clamps barely clear the dog hole on just 3/4 mdf. Lowe’s says the thickness of the Formica is .35 of an inch, which sounds too thick from what I saw in this video. Thank you in advance for your reply.
Great bench! Building mine based on this design - with some tweaks! Did you build your bottom rails low enough (or high enough) to go over/under the dust collection port? How did you integrate your dust collection with this setup?
Nice video. I now might have to re-make my outfeed table. I like the look of the black Formica, but I chose white for my mine because I can draw on it full size to make sure parts fit. Yes it does get dirty, but it's a shop.
I always see tops edge banded before formica and I think you did it right lol AFTER formica because it has thickness and that edge banding protects the formica from chipping up.
Yes but also really difficult to make the edge banding 100% flush with the formica if applied afterwards. You can have it slightly proud and then trim rout it flush "from the side" but that's a delicate operation not routing into the laminate. Anyway, nice build.
Couldn’t see how you planned on getting sawdust out of the dog holes? Just plan on vacuuming from the top? Or did you have some other solution? Thanks!
Can you give some detail on how you decide the drawer mount spacing? It looks like you are using a scrap piece of plywood to set the mounts locations??
I design everything in Fusion 360. Once I see where the drawers need to be o calculate the distance up from the base of the cabinet and use my scrap of plywood as a way to make sure the slides are the exact same height on both sides.
Yeah, I don’t have access to that program. Im building this table from your plans and dimensions are to your plan specs. Any chance you might remember placement heights to give me a place to start?
Is that a roll of wide paper dispenser you drafted under the top? Looks like the same idea I did on one of my benches. A friend works at a napkin/placemats factory and he brings me the partial rolls 24 inch wide when they switch over.
I have been looking at building an outfeed table for my table saw, but my garage is not solely for woodworking. I was wondering what you would think about making an outfeed table out of 4 separate tables that could lock together. any thoughts on ideas for locking these tables together? Thanks. BTW, I love your channel. The various shop ideas have inspired me to get most of my tools off of just clamping to the bench top and actually making individual cabinets for each. I'm also about to start a built in cabinets for my wife based on your quick cabinet designs.
I've never see someone try ti wrangle four tables into one but I have seen people do it with two. I think they used barrel locks to secure them together
Excellent build. I like the setup and all of the storage space you have. Your narration also makes it simple and easy to understand what steps you use. I agree with one of the other comments that edge banding after the Formica is easier and more accurate. After all is said and done, what do you think the total cost of building a table like this would be? What is the total size of the table. I have a single car garage that I'm getting setup and, to be honest, I did it out of construction lumbar and rough plywood covered with Formica bc of the cost. Looking forward to watching some of your other vidoes as well.
Sick workbench, been thinking about making one and really like the design! Can you maybe do a vid showing different ways you use the bench dog holes? I feel like a lot of workbench videos show them built in, but don't really go over what you use them for haha
Unless I'm mistaken, the stretchers between the legs are usually inset from the outside of the leg, not the inside. Why did you put your stretchers so far back from the outside of the leg?
I have always thought that the cut outs in a table like this to accommodate the table saw miter gauge look unfinished, and expose the MDF particle board. Has anyone thought to place some sheet metal on the floor of these cuts to trim them out, perhaps some pieces of aluminum or stainless? I literally just thought of it. Nice assembly table. Thank you!
I’ve gotten to drawer building and hit a problem. I can’t find 5/8” plywood locally. All out of stock. Would it be better to go an 1/8” smaller to 1/2” or 1/8” bigger to 3/4” to build the drawer boxes? Both of those sizes are readily available.
Excellent video! One question please: at 3:28 you're using what looks like a black aluminum fence with some stops and dogs attached, which seems like a handy MFT accessary. What is it / where an I find one? I looked on your website list of all tools but didn't see it. Thanks!
Great video! thank you. This is my first time in your channel. If you allow me one question please What do you do with all the "wood dust" that is into the drum of the dust collector? (min 2:46) Do you recycle it, use it for a new project? I'm new in the wookworking world Thanks in advance and sorry for my Egnlish I'm still learning Have a Productive and Healthy day!
Great build! Thinking about replacing my outfeed/assembly table so this might work nicely. One question though....I'd like to do the dogholes but get lots of sawdust and shavings on my tabletop, any ideas on how to keep all this from falling through and making the inside of the drawers and cabinet a mess? Thanks!
A small 1/4 hardboard sloped towards the sides of your table under the tabletop can allow most of the dust fall towards the sides but shield things underneath.
This is great, and I plan to build this or something very close to it very soon. Thanks! One question though. I too like the idea of dogholes in the laminated top, however I do not have a CNC. What would you recommend as the cleanest way to bore these dogholes without getting tearout in the laminate?
I took my top to a CNC shop, and they just charged the equivalent of 30 US dollars. Their rate is just 1 dollar per minute. I live in Mexico City, BTW.
Have you changed out those handles yet? I installed those in a kitchen I renovated about 20 years ago... I soon began to regret my decision after ripping two pairs of shorts from catching on those style handles.
@@MWAWoodworks I loved the way the looked, but they were at just the right height to catch on my pockets. FYI, I'm ordering some formica for my bench tops to try out. That's why I was back watching this again.
I wish I had some more lumber yards near me.I’m currently getting walnut slabs live edge from a guy on offer up they cost 60 a slab they measure 2 in thick 18 in wide and 6 ft long would this be a good price?I just started wood working I truly enjoy but I got a lot to learn

I'm about to do a similar top on some old kitchen lowers. I've never made a counter top. Do I need to account for any overhang?
Hey could you do a video of your miter station, a review I guess, what you like, what you would do differently?
Is the depth you went with the right depth? Also how many sheets would it take to build that miter station you have?
Thanks a lot love your videos
I've got a video on the miter saw station on my channel as well as plans available 😉
I have a similar top that has aneurisms wherever moisture got into the particle board below. Hope yours does not have the same malady.

I did not join them
How about routing grooves in between the dog holes for track clamps? Gives you other options for holding down your workpieces. Something similar to the new track clamp work bench Woodpecker came out with.
You could do that. Probably reduce the number of dog holes otherwise there won't be much actaul table top left lol

Try going to a CNC shop. They are really affordable

Did you use 20mm or 3/4 Dog holes? Also, what spacing did you use? Thank you, I watch and click like all your videos.
20mm and I used Festool 96mm spacing. Basically an MFT top
Great Bench. Here is dumb question. What do you do to get rid of all the saw dust and wood chips when you empty the bin? Where do you dump it?

BTW, I love your channel. The various shop ideas have inspired me to get most of my tools off of just clamping to the bench top and actually making individual cabinets for each. I'm also about to start a built in cabinets for my wife based on your quick cabinet designs.
I've never see someone try ti wrangle four tables into one but I have seen people do it with two. I think they used barrel locks to secure them together
Very professional work sir. 🤙
Reminds me of Jason’s (Bourbonmoth) outfeed. Nice
table nice! talking , drywakll screws?
Great work Matt! Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome 😊
Great video, question how do you manage saw dust in the dog holes?
Nice Table😀
How well does a 3/4” top function for dog holes? Is it thick enough to hold clamps in the holes?
Excellent build. I like the setup and all of the storage space you have. Your narration also makes it simple and easy to understand what steps you use. I agree with one of the other comments that edge banding after the Formica is easier and more accurate. After all is said and done, what do you think the total cost of building a table like this would be? What is the total size of the table. I have a single car garage that I'm getting setup and, to be honest, I did it out of construction lumbar and rough plywood covered with Formica bc of the cost. Looking forward to watching some of your other vidoes as well.
Sick workbench, been thinking about making one and really like the design!
Can you maybe do a vid showing different ways you use the bench dog holes? I feel like a lot of workbench videos show them built in, but don't really go over what you use them for haha
Good thoughts!
Unless I'm mistaken, the stretchers between the legs are usually inset from the outside of the leg, not the inside. Why did you put your stretchers so far back from the outside of the leg?
So that the cabinet sides sit flush with the legs. Makes adding drawer slides way easier
I have always thought that the cut outs in a table like this to accommodate the table saw miter gauge look unfinished, and expose the MDF particle board. Has anyone thought to place some sheet metal on the floor of these cuts to trim them out, perhaps some pieces of aluminum or stainless? I literally just thought of it. Nice assembly table. Thank you!
I never thought of doing that. I actually kind of like the contrasting colors of the raw MDF and the black Formica
You just made an instant fan.
Woo hoo!
I’ve gotten to drawer building and hit a problem. I can’t find 5/8” plywood locally. All out of stock. Would it be better to go an 1/8” smaller to 1/2” or 1/8” bigger to 3/4” to build the drawer boxes? Both of those sizes are readily available.
For drawers that big I'd think 3/4"
Excellent video! One question please: at 3:28 you're using what looks like a black aluminum fence with some stops and dogs attached, which seems like a handy MFT accessary. What is it / where an I find one? I looked on your website list of all tools but didn't see it. Thanks!
That's a recent addition from Benchdogs UK
And just when I thought I had my new outfeed/workbench table drawn up, I get new ideas. Now I'm back to the drawing board, lol.
Haha awesome! Glad to inspire your work!
Another great build!
Thank you Jay!
Hi what router table are you using thank you Ed form Scotland
Great video! thank you. This is my first time in your channel. If you allow me one question please
What do you do with all the "wood dust" that is into the drum of the dust collector? (min 2:46)
Do you recycle it, use it for a new project? I'm new in the wookworking world
Thanks in advance and sorry for my Egnlish I'm still learning
Have a Productive and Healthy day!

Awesome outfeed! I’d love to make a smaller 4x4 version for my shop
Nice!
Great build! Thinking about replacing my outfeed/assembly table so this might work nicely. One question though....I'd like to do the dogholes but get lots of sawdust and shavings on my tabletop, any ideas on how to keep all this from falling through and making the inside of the drawers and cabinet a mess? Thanks!
A small 1/4 hardboard sloped towards the sides of your table under the tabletop can allow most of the dust fall towards the sides but shield things underneath.
This is great, and I plan to build this or something very close to it very soon. Thanks! One question though. I too like the idea of dogholes in the laminated top, however I do not have a CNC. What would you recommend as the cleanest way to bore these dogholes without getting tearout in the laminate?
There's a link in the description for a product called the parf guide system for creating mft style tops by hand (with a drill)
I took my top to a CNC shop, and they just charged the equivalent of 30 US dollars. Their rate is just 1 dollar per minute. I live in Mexico City, BTW.
Have you changed out those handles yet?
I installed those in a kitchen I renovated about 20 years ago... I soon began to regret my decision after ripping two pairs of shorts from catching on those style handles.
I have those handles all over my shop and I've never been snagged bt them.
@@MWAWoodworks I loved the way the looked, but they were at just the right height to catch on my pockets. FYI, I'm ordering some formica for my bench tops to try out. That's why I was back watching this again.
It was the best decision I made for this bench 👍
I wish I had some more lumber yards near me.I’m currently getting walnut slabs live edge from a guy on offer up they cost 60 a slab they measure 2 in thick 18 in wide and 6 ft long would this be a good price?I just started wood working I truly enjoy but I got a lot to learn
Yeah you better buy them all at that price!
There's that "mystery" Kreg jig box again!
Ha! It's in the landfill now 😂
