In this video I make a new universal workbench top for woodworking outside. The worktop contains a Kreg router plate and dog holes for a Benchdog square and Fencedog dimensional fence, along with a Festool TS55 Track-saw and rail.

That is such a slick mft table design. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. After I build mine and work out the bugs I will build one for my son. He is a father of four beautiful young children and a career soldier in the US army. One of the busiest and hardest working people I've ever met. He loves woodworking and this will be such a blessing to him.
Fantastic, I hope he enjoys it. He deserves it. Regards JP
Brilliant job and attention to detail. I'm going to "borrow" some of your ideas since they are fantastic. Love the thunderbird reference!
FAB 😊
That’s now becoming a true “multi function workbench”!!!
👍🏻
Thanks Mark. Regards JP
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing ideas that are practical and thus useful!
Glad you like them! Regards JP
Excellent. I have been looking for something like your set up. Well done!
Thank you. Regards JP
Bloody brilliant! I love this! I think it is grand when creatives share their mistakes, makes us regular punters feel like we can do what you do.
Thanks Mr Gunn. it’s all part of the leaning process. regards JP
Enjoyed that. Very glad I found you. Subscribed 🎉🎉
Thank you 300. Regards JP
Very inspiring. This kind of "Thunderbird" MFT might be just right for me 😀 👍
Thanks for the view and comment Steven. currently working on the next phase. regards JP
A neat job, I'm doing something similar with my indoor bench, my small workshop can't justify a separate router table. Subscribed
Thanks for the sub! Compact woodworking is where its at. Less space required, less materials but all the fun! Regards JP
Well designed multi function table - Festool or Kreg should learn from you!
Thank you! And thank you for your view and comment. Regards JP
Great table Paul, I can’t think of anyone else’s wife who would let them be building this in their kitchen / house 😂. I love the layout and think the only thing that would make this work better for ‘me’ is to have the sacrificial strip run all the way to the end as I know without fail I would at some point be cutting through the trimming which probably serves good purpose keeping the sacrificial strip in place
Thanks Nick. Sometimes it easier to seek forgiveness than permission! I was afraid the saw wold kick the strip our with no restrain cut I do have a kerf mark in the noising. Good thing about the set up is the cut is always in the same place. Regards JP
Nice update to the bench. You really do have to think hard for solutions to a small workspace, and you have given me some great ideas
Thanks Paul. Glad you found it useful. Regards JP
Brilliant! Well Done!!!
Thank you. Regards JP
Love the interchangeable mini-table at the end of the main bench. Can't wait to see what variations you come up with.
Thank you Mark. stay tuned for more …..regards JP
Removing the tape backings is second only to finding the opening end of plastic bags among the many things i hate😂
😂😂
Awesome inspired video as always keep up the great work.
Thanks
Thank you for your kind comment 👍 regards JP
Brilliant!
Thank you. Regards JP
Great video. I had already built an MFT top with my parf system now I’m going to build yours to save on space. Thanks
Hi. Glad it helped! Regards JP
‘oles ❤ 🎉
Great work. well done
Thank you Ralph for the view and comment. Regards JP
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
nice build !!!
Thank you Michael 👍 regards JP
Genius! Now I get why you didn't set the Kreg plate on a rabbet, nice one. Totally with you on the fiddliness of double-sided tape, please let us know if you find a good (affordable!) product. Miser that I am, few things in life are more frustrating than trying to lift a corner on poundshop tape... Thanks for the fab post, this and the previous build are the best portable bench solution I've seen on YT. Thunderbenches are go. Cheers.
Thunderbenches are go 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the watch and comment Regards JP
Neat cameo from your mum❤
Not my mum but a lady that became famous in the UK when asked on the news about another general election 😂👍 Regards JP
@@Smallbarnworkshoplol kinda guessed it wasn’t your mum. But it was a amusing insertion ❤
Still watching and your colloquialism and antidotes are funny ❤
I’m in Essex and it’s pissing down dark and gloomy, you’ve cheered my day. Oh and neat new top.
Thank you 😊
Very nice bench build 👌👍 and yes, some double sided tape can be a real pain, especially the spongey ones 🤬 😂.
Thanks. I definitely need to find another brand of tape. Regards JP
DO you have plans for the folding portable table and bench top. I love it
Thank you. Unfortunately not, but the build for the base section video is here. ruclips.net/video/o0DS9VnkOBQ/видео.html Regards JP
🤪 And working in flip flops !!!
Ironman Flipflops! Regards JP
Great video and a very well thought out bench. Does your Benchdogs square sit in holes that are in line with the ones for the fence dogs or have you put some further back?
Thanks Bruce. The holes are in line. The fence sits in front of its support dogs so it avoids a clash with the square. Regards JP
Can you provide a link or name for the fence system you attached the track too? Looked like TSO but hard to see clearly. Thanks
Hi Richard. It’s a benchdog product. Regards JP

I really like your bench, its compact and does it all needed. I am trying to set up my fence same as yours. you rested the fence on the collars fitted to the dogs of square, is it okay with accuracy? or any issues that you might have come across?
HI. Thanks for the comment. The fence is very acute. I am truly impressed with it. Regards JP
Hi. Nice work!?
How should I paint the MDF "". its very hard to paint the wood eadges. Thank you
Hi Hector.
There are some good videos on this on RUclips so I would advise to watch one of them. As you say it is not easy but it is possible. it depends firstly on how good the quality of the MDF is, in my last build I used a little bit of quality MDF made by Caber, Medite or Kronospan are similar quality brands. Most MDF that you pick up from DIY shops are lower quality non-branded makes, so not as dense. This bench top is one of them. In terms of finishing the edges will need more coats and more sanding back than the faces , to allows the finish to totally soak in. Alternatively, design out having exposed edges by introducing a nosing, like I did here around the bench top.
hope this helps
regards JP
Any drawings or sketches of the material part
Hi Larry. I've not published a drawing, but if your would like a marked up photo I can send you one - I would need your email address. In essence the top is cut from 2 x 1200 x 600mm MDF sheets from my local DIY shop and laminated together with a 100mm (4") stagger at the joint. The MFT holes are at 96mm centres and are 20mm in diameter. The noisings are 21 x 44mm planned timber. The T tracks are set 100mm from the router plate. The router plate is sat centrally between the MFT holes. The tops overall dims with nosings are 650 x 1150mm. Regards JP
@@Smallbarnworkshop i am looking at making this and putting it on an old workmates that I have around
How do u get that all
In/ out your loft when trusses are @600mm centres
The hatch is 900 x 550 so it just fits. Regards JP
Way too much detail! Just want to see how it works :D
If you watch al the other videos you can see it in action 😂 Regards JP
Oh look another cheap top made with an expensive one use tool. Glad you saved a few pounds by reusing your old top. Sorry if that seems harsch but every damned one of these cheap top videos uses a expensive uni-tasker tool. A DIY guy is not going to wear out a MFT tope every four months.
Hi Mike. It depends on how much you use it. I explained n an earlier video why I bought the his. Now 5 tops and around 6 jigs made with this. Regards JP
