I hope you have enjoyed the build. For a full list of tools check out the website www.start-making.com .
I have watched. So many woodworking videos and in particular recently, bench building videos. This is THE BEST by far. Very clear and concise narrative all the way through. Thanks. Will be watching for more. Cheers.
Hi Chris. Thats really kind. I appreciate the comment. Thank you.
For thoes who may want a simple topper for a workbench as us contractors we have to set up temporary solutions per job and we use frp or shower wall sheets. They are smooth almost impervious to glue paint whatever and they are 20us a sheet. I can't get milmine for that and frp glues down with with basic construction adhesives. Might save someone some effort and it's very impact resistant!
Wow, that is a great idea. Thank you for sharing.
So many other builders never show their mistakes. Glad you do. I thought it was just me who made mistakes.
Speak for yourself but i never make mistkes.
Speak for yourself, i never make mistkes.
Hi Steve. Mistakes are half of my builds lol. Im not a good enough editor to remove them all so I just leave them in.
@@startmaking1 i like your honesty. There are a lot of people on RUclips that appear to get every build perfect. I'm a nearly retired brickie. We only work to the nearest inch or so. Lol.🤔
The whole bench is a mistake. I’d be ashamed to put my name to it.
Think he should get a job on a checkout in Tesco
Who doesn't love hardwood edging, nice job
It seems to add to the tactile nature of it. Though it was a. bit of a pain if I am honest.
It amazes me how much you can learn about a woodworker by his (or her) bench. I'm building one right now too, and it will have almost nothing in common with yours.
Everything that makes us different goes into the table we use. Whether we buy or build, our skill level in the build if that is the approach. Attention to details / caring about what shop furniture looks like. And then what type of tools we use. And this is maybe 5% of the differences. You are spot on bud. I know that I care way too much for the aesthetics of there workshop and its contents but then I consider the workshop as a kind of therapy room. Sounds strange but then I remember that your therapist is Rex and it all makes sense lol.
@@startmaking1even across the pond here in Kentucky, some problems for some craftsmen are universal. I too have very limited space. I have zero indoor workspace, only tool storage. I've designed my bench on 8" pneumatic casters because I have to work in my gravel driveway and/or back yard. I'm hard mounting all of my tools to it. The mount point for each tool will essentially be an over glorified flip cart top so they will store beneath the top when not in use. Like your build, I'm insetting my table saw into the end of the bech, but im building a router table into the bench to the left of the table saw. I also have no power in my work area. I'm dependent on running a heavy extension cord from my house, so limited power access is a major concern for me too. I hadn't considered your answer to that issue, so thank you for the potential solution. I run. Lot of cordless battery powered tools for that reason, but the addition of a mobile power station like you have might be really nice touch. Thank you for the idea!
You and a handful of other creators here have inspired me to record the build. I'll try to remember to tag you in it when I manage to get the video edited & posted!
Definitely tag me in it please. I would love to see it, Sounds like you are adding in a huge amount of interesting features./
@startmaking1 absolutely! My number one problem is that currently, I spend every bit as much time if not more, dragging tools out and later breaking down & putting away as I do actually using them. This bench build will eliminate much of that.
Love it and am slightly jealous! Will be first on my list if build once my workshop is built!
FYI: If it is the first item in your shop, be sure to factor in
the things which will be against the walls and hanging On the walls.
You don't want to be tripping over or getting hung on things as you
make your way around the bench. 😁✌🖖
Yours will be amazing Jack I have no doubt. I am looking forward to the workshop build first.
Awesome build! Looks like it will be really useful. I like the low glare top
It works really well, though it looks a little battered already. But that is inevitable.
I love your honestly when you make a mistake and even though you said you were sort of building on the fly it turned out great!
Thank you very much. I tried to make a plan and after one drawing it made me stressed so I started cutting 2 by 4s. I felt better then so I carried on lol.
This is great Mark, it turned out so well! Looking forwards to seeing it more in action over the next few months.
Thank you Alex. Amazing how different two benches can be. I really wanted to have a tactile slab like yours but space is limited.
You are going to love the fence on your new saw, because you can dial it in to perfection. The bench is actually very good. Well done. (you could could have been the most loved cast member of Monty Python, by the way :-)
I already do. though I was a little disappointed to see that the top is not perfectly flat. There is a slight dip between the blade and the fence. But I will be using a sled a lot of the time so I guess that will even it out. And thank you for the kind comment too. Monty python lol.
I got the bosch saw because I like the size of the top and power of it, but had to ultimately upgrade the fence to a delta t square fence which cost as much as a small table saw. the dewalt rack and pinion is nice
You seem to have covered most of the design aspects that I did when I built the table for my much older DW745, but there are some important things you missed that I’m sure you would eventually stumble on, so here are some lessons learned.
First, the leading edge of your outfeed table looks square. There is nothing more frustrating than pushing an ever so slightly bowed board thru and having it droop just enough to get stuck on the leading edge of the outfeed table while the blade is still cutting thru the wood, it’s dangerous. Put a small ~1/8” (~3mm) round over on the leading edge of the outfeed table and sand it with some 400 grit so the laminate and wood blend smoothly. This will reduce the chance of boards getting stuck. I’d actually recommend doing this to the edges of the side supports as well, for when you’re sliding wood around during prep.
It’s probably too late for this suggestion, but you could have put the outfeed table closer, the farther away it is the more chance of boards getting stuck, as described above. Put the outfeed table in as close as you can, then cut a small relief cut away in the outfeed table far to the right for opening the fence locks. However, that means adjusting the fence to the right every time you want to take it on/off, which can be mildly annoying at times. I even put a second one on the left for the occasional left mounted fence cut.
Eventually, you will want to use those miter slots for more than just small miter gauge cuts, like table saw sleds of various types, which require miter guides to extend beyond the table saw top, but the outfeed table will be in the way. You will need to cut relief slots into the outfeed table. Just route them out ever so slightly wider than your miter slots. You don’t need them for alignment, just relief; the slots in the saw will do the alignment.
Next, you don’t want to lock the table saw down. You do however want it to be stable and to quickly realign on all axes when you put it back. After all it’s a portable saw so why not keep it portable? At the least, you will need to remove it to clean and maintenance. The dust capture housing is actually open to provide relief for adjusting the blade angle (unless they have made improvements since my model). You’ll notice a cut away on one side, just underneath the table top (look under table insert on the right). This means a significant amount of dust escapes, even with a good strong shopvac attached, which eventually clogs up the gears and other moving parts. I have to clean my saw’s under carriage and grease the gears 1-2 times a year. You’ll know its time when you raise the blade and it screeches at you, it’s a common thing with these saws. You’re on the right track with your idea, but there is a simple better way. Instead of retaining the rubber feet, retain the metal framing tubes. First, cut two strips of wood for mounting parallel with the full length (between the rubber feet) of the framing tubes. Second, cut 45deg chamfers along the length of the strips that will act as wedges against the under curve of the framing tubes. Effectively, you want to make a V-channel out of the two strips for the framing tubes to rest in. The metal framing tubes won’t compress over time, but the rubber feet will, the V-channel will help reduce this. You don’t really want the V-channel to take all the weight. Just leave it sitting shimmed like it is now, then abut the wedge strips in snug and screw them down. This will keep the saw from moving forward, back or yaw (yaw wrt the miter slots parallel to the outfeed extension slot cuts described above). Finally, add some more wedge type retainers on the side tubes to inhibit left to right motion. The framing of my older model is slightly different so you will have to figure that out, but something similar in concept. So, why is this better? The goal should be to remove the table saw and quickly replace it at exactly the same position, height and angle, so it is flush with the outfeed and aligned with the miter slot reliefs in the outfeed. All while keeping the saw stable. With the simple V-channel supporting the round tubing I can plop my saw right down and it self-aligns in all dimensions, with no fuss, and it remains stable when operating. I wish I could post a picture, because this sounds complicated, but it is really just a few simple strips of wood with 45deg cuts.
Finally, from what I can see DeWalt still hasn’t added a lock to the blade height adjustment wheel. The vibrations are enough that during extended operations the weight of the knob will turn the wheel until the knob rests at the lowest position, unintentionally repositioning the blade height. This isn’t a problem for thru cuts, but if you’re cutting rabbits (rebates) or dados which require critical depth of cut, especially when making repeated cuts on multiple pieces while leaving the saw running, you may find that the cut depth starts to vary. Simple solution: make a wood wedge, set your blade height, and jam the wedge behind the blade height adjustment wheel to lock it in place. Not really a bench issue, but something to save you a few headaches.
Btw, 3x3Custom Tamar has a great video for tuning your DeWalt that helps a lot. Also, the fences are notorious for not being square to the table top, in the vertical direction. There is no direct mechanism for calibrating it, but it can be done, so if yours is off here is a video ruclips.net/video/pvNrTNFAON4/видео.html&lc=Ugzxtra0wchK6j7QWWF4AaABAg.9IYcuIjl6DS9LloubqTMaV
Sorry for the length, it was a slow day here, Good Luck!
Please don't apologise for sharing so much information with me. I am learning and this is one of my greatest sources of information. People are so kind and generous in the comments sections of these videos, I feel I could write a book just from the comments.
you are right on all counts, no surprise and I will do my best to adjust what I have and see what I can include moving forwards. thank you
Cracking advice ChristopherMoore, really helpful as I'm also embarking on the same build.
Great project Mark. It should suit your needs for many years to come. Have fun building your projects on it.
Thank you Bill. I am really happy with the table. Especially as I was winging it.
Holy cow! Look how far you've come! Great job. I can't tell you how many times I've made and modified my workbenches; in fact now that spring is around the corner, we are , once again, revamping the shop. I'm still working with a broken wing; it's limiting, but I'm taking my time and living with analgesics. This table saw is aces and will serve you well for years. We love the rack and pinon fence, you will too. Looks like you've gone to the Meat studio school of over-engineering. It costs a bit more to do this; but, generally, it will not fail. God help you trying to move this around the shop. I know how heavy that piece is. Ah, wheels, bravo! Happy to see you using the mask whilst gluing. That's the most brilliant thing you did during this build (well, maybe not the most, but very good). This was an excellent build video as you gave some great tips and techniques that were shared. You're a pro now!
Hiya Meat. Hope you are well bud. Sorry to hear the broken wing is still causing you grief. I really like the table saw, though I meant to ask, have you found that the top is not perfectly flat. Mine loses 1mm over 100mm from the blade to the fence. Just kind of dips down a little. The fence is magic though. Once I calibrated it. I can just get the table onto the casters but it is a struggle so it wont be moved much. I cant lift it from one end anymore. Think the floor will break before the table. That glue is really toxic smelling. I would;d not last more than a few seconds in there mask less. Plus it would be irresponsible to not show it. Bad enough that I have not sorted dust filtration yet. Though, one step at a time. Take care bud.
@@startmaking1 I've not really noticed the flatness since the jobsite saw has never been used for precision work but more for like your shed build and the tolerances are fine for that. The difference, I find, between a woodworker and a carpenter is 1/16". In other words, those of us who started our careers out on the construction sight are glad to come to within a sixteenth of an inch for measurements. Now, my friend the cabinet maker is as anal as a machinist and he'd wreck himself over the slope of the table top. Chin up you are doing great!
Love the workbench, Mark! Building the table saw into the bench is a great idea.
Thank you very much.
It is a great idea until you have a project all over your workbench and you have to use your saw.
This was an incredibly interesting video to watch. Especially watching somebody with roughly the same skill level as myself. If anyone watches this as the first video from you , I have no doubt they will subscribe. Very well produced vid.....and a fantastic work bench , which I will be copying 👍👍👍
Thank you very much. that is a really kind comment and I appreciate it.
Basic built bench but the added touches make it look mint. 👍🏻
Great work. 🤝🏻
YEs, it is a mess beneath the nice exterior. Much like the workshop lol.
Love that one Mark, the skirt is a cool idea. Have you thought about a deadman? I used Steve Ramseys' weekend woodworker build for my first bench and adapted it for the second bench. Replaceable tops, easy construction, no joinery, really. 12 years on and still going strong. 2nd tops in situ, well tops flipped over as all the holes still fit if you plan for that ie. 2 inches in from either end etc for dog holes. Now heading towards a Roman style workbench based on Ryan's Mountain Top Joinerys' L shaped saw bench. Hope this helps someone. Can't wait to see how your bench turns out Mark. Great share.
Thank you Ian. I think I have added in a dead man of sorts. Not quite the same and slightly undersized but it could fill a similar purpose as the skirts alone will not quite be strong enough. I like the flip of the top idea. Very clever. My design is not going to allow that as I have screwed the first layer down , the. the second to that layer and then laminated over the screws. But I do have a few accessories that I have made that should help with the longevity of the top. We will see. I love how no 2 people have the same bench, or so it seems.
For the tops on my benches i put the border 3mm above the top, then double tape a sheet of Hardboard to the top that way if it gets damaged its cheap and easy to replace.
What a great idea. Really simple and replaceable.
Another fine video, sir. Great project, too! I worked in a custom display house for a few years; and laid thousands of square feet of decorative laminate, so miles of finishing razor sharp routed edges. FWIW, the most common method used was to just break/relieve that razor corner with a file, typically held at about 45 degrees for one or perhaps two passes. Your solution of course is much more elegant. The wood edging gives an attractive touch to what is often just a utilitarian shop fixture. Enjoying your videos! Keep up the great works.
Love the comment thank you,. and great to hear from someone with your experience. I love this comment section, best place to learn.
Nice build Mark! I'd love to show my workbench some love. It is by far the number 1 used thing in my shop and PROBABLY the most neglected. 😂 Someday...someday.
Thanks bud. It's funny how much I prioritise things like this. I think it is because I am not making non workshop things at the moment. I really need to get back to being a real woodworker rather than a YT one. lol. Hope you are well bud.
Wow, Mark. That is what I call a real upgrade of a bench. The black laminate looks great.. Love the way that you save so much storage elsewhere by having it under the bench.. Well done.
Thank you James. I figured that I would build the bench first and then storage on the walls as I see what I can fit in the bench. Like anything thouhj, I guess it will never stop evolving.
Great video. Wish I had the space in my shed for a bench that big. I made the Paul Sellors plywood workbench in mine. I have the same tablesaw and I have it on a purpose made rolling box so I can bring it out into the center of the shed when needed
Paul Sellers workbench is brilliant. I considered the rolling box for the saw and using a bench sideways as the outfeed like I see in a lot of shops and in truth it probably would have been a better way. Definitely would have meant more assembly space on the bench but this way felt more fun. Daft isnt it.
@@startmaking1 time will tell if it was the right decision, the wrong decision or just the right decision for now which changes as you evolve along your woodworking journey 😃
I thoroughly enjoyed that video building a simple effective and efficient workbench. Good job 🌞
Thank you Very much Ray. Appreciate the comment.
Looking good mark workshop is getting there 👍
Thank you Mark. This was a big step to getting there.
Mark the bench looks absolutely amazing so far can’t wait to see it finished. Great job. This is exactly the kind of bench I want to build because I have the same table saw and want it right in my bench also. Thanks for sharing
Thank you Jim. There is one more video with the extras on it and I am calling it done for now but is it ever done? Kind of like the workshop .I have to say from having the bench for a few months of light use so far, I have no regrets about the table saw in it. I have had a lot of advice and one that sticks is to make it easier to get the saw out and back in for cleaning and maintenance. And to round the lip where the cut wood slides off the saw to the bench itself. kind of where the bench becomes the outfield table.
🎉🎉🎉 Thank you for sharing your techniques with us. I’m not interested in building that kind of table BUT I love learning everything you do.
I haven’t built anything in a very long time but this really inspires me to do something.
Blessings,Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸
Hi Carlos and thank you for your honest comment. Much appreciated. I hope that whatever you build brings you happiness.
The top replacement, sacrificing the feet, is a great idea 👍
I confess it was a lucky mistake in many ways. Like so many other things.
I'm in the process of building my bench, incorporating a table saw. I was going to get the same saw you got, but then SawStop brought out a very similar one-but with of course their safety technology-for around the same price (here in Oz at least), so I got that instead.
I'm building my saw into one corner, rather than the middle of one end, and plan on having a router table to the right of that. I don't see how that would stop me using the fence. If the router is lowered, the fence will just pass over it.
The rest of the bench is in two halves, split longitudinally. One half is thick and solid, using three layers of flooring chipboard glued together (because that's what I had), topped with 9mm MDF, for a total thickness of about 66mm. The other half is one layer of the chipboard flooring topped with 'FormPly', a cheap plywood for concrete forms, that has a thin plasticised surface that glue doesn't stick to very readily.
For castors, I'm using ones such as those featured in a video by Carl Holmgren titled "Retractable Casters for Power Tools" (although numerous other videos with similar setups are around also). You don't have to keep fitting and removing them to move the table.
Oh wow, I would definitely go for saw stop over this, Im a little jealous. And building in one corner is really smart. When I get a larger router I will look to adapt. Using the same fence is a really good idea.
I had a similar plan initially to you. I put in extra bracing as I was going to have one side for hand tool and one for assembly. But I had a different plan that was more simple. Will not be quite as good but easier. I think. It will be in the next video.
Great overall advice thank you for sharing.
Great video, Mark. I’ve been waiting for this for some time as I’m getting the same table saw (dwe7492) and also want it on the end, like yours. I love the tip about putting the saw just above the level of the table… I wouldn’t have thought of that and haven’t seen it on other builds. I know you’ve got your Moxen vice but I definitely want a fixed vice too, with dog holes. Keep talking about how the bench is working out because it’s going to be when you’re using it in anger that you’ll really know what decisions have worked and what ones will make a future “so here’s what I did to fix that” video ;)
Really enjoying watching you grow. It’s very encouraging.
Hi Roger. Put the saw just below the level as you then can shim it up to just above the level. Saves any errors setting you back. I have dog holes but as yet, no fixed vice, that may change. I really like the decision I made to include a dust cyclone. That will be in the video weekend after this. Think you can consider that.
I@@startmaking1 I've got a dust cyclone already. I'll be interested to see how you've incorporated it. Looking forward (as ever) to your next vid.
Good job, nice build
Thank you Very much. Appreciate the comment.
Great job!
I like the way you speak honestly.
Perfection is hardly ever necessary
Thank you so much. I am not sure I have ever reached perfection. In fact I am sure. It's over rated lol.
Excellent build! Great idea running the power from the ceiling, too.
Thank you.
I love that your planning as much as i do... :D my build is a chaos in progress :)
Yeah, it's the only way I can do it. Usually leads to a few retries later on but thats still quite fun.
I had to laugh so hard.
absolute in a good way!
Its was so nice to see that i wasn't the onley one working this way. But at the end if it's working and you're glad about it. That's the onley thing that matters.
How dou you edit all the movies parts? If i may ask?
I post them seperatly now.
Great video! Nice to see the progression of your shop! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you as always for watching. Always appreciated.
Great video. Workbench looks great.
Thank you Very much John. Appreciate the comment.
Lovely stuff pal, much appreciated
Thank you very much.
Great looking bench and I'm very envious of the table saw (one day, one day!) Freshly minted woodworking newbie here, just getting into Steve Ramsey's WWW so this channel is going to help me tonnes (or 'tons' if that's your thing)👌
Steve Ramsey is a great place to start. Really encouraging and the right tempo for learning. And thank you. It took me over 5 years of woodworking in some capacity or another before I bit the bullet on a table saw.
M8 bravo. That looks amazing. Can't wait to see what u fill all the cubby holes with. And also your first use of the table saw. Great idea though putting push sticks etc etc near the table saw although my 1 bit advice get wooden push stick made trust me if one those plastic ones get snagged by the blade you'll wanna change your underwear don't ask how I no 😮. Am certianly gonna take inspiration from yours to make mine. Hopefully gonna start mine shortly once a get these planters out today. Maybe next week or week after. Definitely needing one. Speak soon 🏴👍
Thank you Michael. Much appreciated. The table saw is a game changer for me. You were right. And you are right about push sticks. I have spent a fair bit on safety stuff and I do need to make a wooden push stick. Now the planters are out I bet it feels like the workshop has doubled in size.
@@startmaking1 well am heading back down today hopefully to just stand in it and look figure out mitrewsaw set up and if we're and what size a can get a workbench in but yea suspect it'll feel huge again. Think a sent u a laser file for push stick if a didn't let me no I can send u one. Start making push sticks?? Sounds like merch 🤔🤔 you'll love it am thinking may have to upgrade my saw just for fence accuracy etc. 🏴👍
That saw is fantastic and I bought it for the same reason, the fence. Noisy though! I have a standalone saw stand and I've put a cheapo bathroom mat underneath the saw and surrounded 2 and a half sides with plywood flocked with left over insulation. It really does help absorb some of the high pitched screaming. I always use ear defenders but for reference I can now just about tolerate the motor whine without them and it's helped with noise transmission to the outside too. If anyone else is building a workbench I really recommend buying an old solid wood table off Facebook and using that as the top surface. It's actually cheaper than ply!
Wow, loads of great advice here. Thank you. I was actually considering lining the surround of the table saw bit with insulation to see how much difference it makes. There are gaps at the top and of course at the front where the controls are but I suppose that every little will help. I cant work in the workshop without ear plugs as the Scheppach dust collector I have is like an aircraft engine. Desperately in need of an upgrade and a surround with sound proofing.
@@startmaking1 i got a wet and dry vac from Lidl which has an auto power on socket, works really well on the table saw, not as good as yours though! Definitely try lining the table saw. I figured that the motor was just throwing sound out and it was being bounced back up into the workshop by the flat wood underneath. I reckon carpet tiles would do the job nicely and look better for video purposes 😅 the workshop I built with help from your videos is still going strong too, despite amber wind warnings!
Floor tiles are a really smart idea. It will take me a while to get round to as with most things but I will definitely give it a go. I saw that vac from Lidl and it looks quite a similar shape to the festool. I am not planning on keeping my scheppach I dont think. I think I will get a dust extractor that hangs on the wall for the table saw and thicknesser and then a vac for hand tools. Well, sanding basically.
@@startmaking1 I do want a dedicated cyclone etc and I believe table saws work better with low volume extractors, but it works ok for now. Looking for spares for the Lidl unit they're actually made by grizzly. Whether that's a good or bad thing I don't know! I'm fairly sure all the Lidl and Aldi tools are rebranded big names.
I think that you are right.
Great video! Table looks great!
Will you be covering drilling the MFT style holes in another video?
Yesterday's shows it a little. to be honest I did a terrible job of it. From what I have seen using a template and a plunge router base is the best option for nice straight holes. I trashed a forstner bit doing mine. Still, they work ok.
Man ! Love the content brother. Thanks for the tips along the build
Hey. I keep seeing you videos pop up on my home page. Really enjoy the builds especially. All done for the sheer amount that you man age to make and keeping the quality high. PS well done for addressing that horrible troll too. I was clapping as I watched.
Very similar to what I'm hoping to build this summer. I think I have the next size up in the job site saw, and the biggest problem I have with it is outfeed, so a nice long table with the saw at the end should solve my problem.
I have found it really helpful having the extra space and support behind it. Especially as this is my first time having a saw.
Power Pack, Great idea. I Worry about the fine dust around the workshop long term !!.
So far it is ok but I think you are right. I may end up putting a cupboard door on the front of that section. As for the rest of the fine dust, I am working on a dust system in the coming months .
Our species did not evolve in a clean room. So we've been dealing with particulate matter in the atmosphere for time immemorial now.
I'm currently building my bench as well and think I might incorporate some of your ideas. I like the idea of adding layers of plywood under the feet to allow additional layers on the top later. One thing to note: Since it appears you just purchased this saw and probably haven't had much time with it, when you tilt the blade to co cut an angle, the dust shoot moves with the blade so you might have to adjust the hole you made in the back of the saw cavity to account for this.
Hi Todd. Thank you. That came to me when I realised I had made the bench a little too low. lol. happy mistakes. And you are spot on about the dust extraction. Took me way longer than I care to admit to realise what had happened. Fixed now. I hope.
You need a vise. A vise on a workbench is so useful I'd consider it essential. So much work revolves around being held in a vise. It is like having an extra hand. A really powerful hand. So start researching what kind of vise you can make, or buy, that'll work on your workbench.
I think that you are right. Though in the next video I will try and prove you wrong lol.
@@startmaking1 I know what you're going to prove if you're honest. You need a wood vise. Just don't hurt yourself proving it to us.
Another great video mate, loving the moby vibes on the video still lol
Moby lol, I get that a fair bit. Or Jimmy Summerville.
Great video 👏 Subscribed to see more form you :) Actually great timing from my point of view (probably thanks to the YT algorithm LOL) as I am in the planning stages for my first workbench. I found this video inspiring, encouraging and useful all at once.
Your "story" is pretty much the same as mine - I am currently using 1/3 sheet of 18mm ply over two Stanley sawhorses with the other 2 pieces available to extend the size as required (rarely) in my 1 car, low ceiling garage. The set up has actually proved to be quite usable but certainly has limits.
I also have recently acquired the same table saw as you and want to build it in because I am much older than you and lugging it up and down all the time is killing my back ;). BTW I strongly recommenfd fitting a soft start module if you haven't already. It's a 10 euro, 10 minute job that even I could do thanks to a million YT tutorials but what a difference it makes!!
Looking forward to seeing more of your well delivered videos. Thank you !
Thank you Steven. I am glad to offer some inspiration. If this is not the right type then Scott Walsh, Paul Sellers and a few others offer really good videos for more hand tool style work benches.
I looked at the soft start module. I will have to do some more research as it looks to be a seriously good ideas. Thank you for the recommendation. And for subbing.
@@startmaking1 Do take a look at the soft start. Also, I think that a video from you on that would be a great addition to YT because you have a great presentation style and I am sure your take on it would be very easy for viewers to follow.
The collection that I used were not the clearest at times which was a shame because it really is such a simple job LOL
Hi Mark, That is the ultimate and the dream workbench, I would love to have an Island workbench with a table saw and off feed table. The best way to build is not to over think what it should be its down to just cut the timber to size and thinking on the move as you build it, in other words winging it. most of the time doing that works out better than planing it, saying that do need to thing what you going to put in to the bench but the building of the bench just go for it. I do like what you have made and I would love to build one, all I can say is that is one great workbench well done mate. As always a great build video, Take care
Thank you Shaun. I agree. I cant plan too much in advance I find it stressful rather than the calm I feel when I am building. I appreciate the kind words too bud.
Great job looking to make something similar so I’ll save your video and reference it when I start the build which will be in about 4 months from today. ❤❤
Good luck when you start. It's a really doable build.
Well done! 👍
Thank you
Thanks for a great video,
Thank you Very much Paul. Appreciate the comment.
Yes mark looks like your enjoying your self ha ha funny as well belting rkid best thing about diy bench is like you say to you own sizes yep dile it in mine was goved by the beach table top I found from a pub in Manchester City centre frame and legs are from hardwood internel doos I picked up of Facebook marketplace free keep it up rkid love you vids
Hey bud. Thank you. This was fun but I am more looking forward to using it now. Great that you managed to get your hands on a nice table top to use. That will be really solid I expect.
Nice job....... right at theis moment I cant even afford the 4x2 or ply so am using off cuts and an old table I bought off FB.....I need to sort a decent table though.......
Thank you. You know, I loved building on the ladder with a board on it. It felt like I was beating the odds in a way. I had a scrap of kitchen work surface that was my only hard wood source and I carved 10mm slices off it to make stuff with. And I loved it. This bench is way over the top for a normal hobby woodworker in truth. Whatever you use I hope you continue to follow your woodworking.
@@startmaking1 The reason is I have spent all my money on my barn/shed...... its nearly done inside now but I still have outside landscaping to do...... if you want to see it go and have a look at weekend shed head live chat (I cant remember which one.....he did a montage of my build as I sent him pictures!!! cheers
I will try and find it. Thank you.
I’m excited to see how the power station works. It could be game changing for ppl like myself who would do well with a shed for a shop than taking over a small garage but it’s always been the power issue that’s stopped me. Curious to see if the bluetti can actually power not just a tablesaw (mine pulls a lot of energy) and a dust collector, lights, etc simultaneously
It's an interesting one as I would have given anything to test this out when I was in the shed but the channel was just too small to get one. Mine can definitely do the table saw. On its own it drained around 30% of the battery to rip cut 50 pallet boards. I thought that was not too bad. A hobby woodworker would probably do that many cuts in a day I would guess. And my table saw is thirsty too. Lights and charging of batteries doesnt ask a lot so it would just be the dust collector. I will be doing all of these tests though to find out. That and charging it in the sun etc.
Great build Mark, your enthusiasm is brilliant and the bench looks so good. Will you be putting out any plans for it.
Thankyou Jim. I will need to figure out sketch up first, But maybe. just maybe.
Nice build Mark. You could incorporate your router into your bench, mine sits just to the side of my table saw. I can also foresee you falling down the rabbit hole that is table saw jigs🤔
It is tricky. I really want a router in there but with the table saw on the end I cannot make use of the fence. So I would have to put it in the assembly section. I need to make use of the table first to see if that is what I want. Plus I only have a trim router. If I am to use a router in the table I would want it to be a larger one. But it is a definite possibility. Jigs are going to be my addiction like French cleat I can just feel it.
It's a trim router I used and it seems to work fine for my usage. Certainly makes life a bit easier 👍
Great build, I need to make myself a new workbench, I've been putting it off cause my space is so limited...
I put it off for a long time and space and clutter was the reason. then I realised that the clutter was the wood for the bench and the contents lol. When the time is right you will build it .
Nice one mate, the casters are brill, just ordered them. I know you by now…… what finish did you put on the rest of the bench?
Have a good un.
They are fab. Though I forgot to take them off and have already tripped over them. I guess that shows how useful they are though. You know me well. I am going to cover it in some tung oil once I have finished kitting out the accessories. That may be a while yet. And it is completely pointless really but I have 2 tins of the stuff and it needs to go somewhere. That said, Maybe varnish is better incase glue drips on the legs etc.
This is absolutely fantastic. I need to build a workbench/outfeed table for my latest tablesaw. I was looking at different materials to cover the surface of the bench & had another product in mind which I saw on another video but the laminate you've used also looks great. Do you have a link to the product you've used. Thanks.
Looking forward to seeing what other things you do.
Thank you. I got the laminate from laminateandply.com. They sent out testers for free and the delivery was quick. It's not cheap but you get a really large sheet. I laminated anything that stayed still long enough.
@@startmaking1 thanks for the info mate. Just ordered some samples. Which one did you use in the end & what thickness did you opt for. Sorry for all the questions.
Not a problem. Sorry for the late reply., This is the one I got L & P Charcoal Black UltraMatt H.P. Laminate 3050x1300x0.9mm
I need a workbench too. But. I keep drilling through my melamine sheet. And I am afraid that something decent - will give me a hard time doing so 😂. Maybe…. I’ll need a top that is replaceable. Or at least part of it.
I am a sucker for drilling through anything I work on. I have had to make an accessory to stop me doing that. Well, to stop me doing it to this nice new top. I was planning a half half table with a massive butchers block on one side but in the end I will have an accessory to add on for when I am waving a drill around.
@@startmaking1 that is interesting, when you test it - show us!
Is the area where the table saw is integrated included in the 8x4ft section or is that added onto it?
The table saw is within the overall space. But if you had space you could put it on a cart and wheel it up and away each time. Then you maximise space in the workbench for builds.
Hi mark great looking workbench a RUclips workbench lol can I say one thing I am not putting you down it just how I feel about this video. The video was like one long introduction to the video
I confess that I was really torn by how to do this video. I actually have footage of me talking mid bulld as I was going to spread it over 3 or more videos. But in the end I decided to cram it all into one and the only way I could do that was an after the fact voice over. Sadly that makes it sound like my voice is going throughout. Not my favourite way to go but I may release a shop sound longer version down the line if there is demand for it. Or if I set up a second channel long term.
@@startmaking1: Mark, your voice overs are not a problem, for me.
You are very good at it. Too many voice overs are so full of hemming and hawing
I can't stand to listen to them. No matter how skilled or intelligent the presenter is,
it makes them sound like a fool.
Great video. I like the way you are able to simplify things. I liked your use of a Story Stick.
I first saw the use of that on the US TV show "This Old House", years ago. I have often used
the first part of many, to be the Stick for the rest. (Bad idea, don't ever do that). One day, I'll learn. Maybe.
If you ever need to use glue near your table saw, cover it with some plastic sheeting
or wood. Wood glue is wet and Will cause rust. Along the same lines, Dust Causes Rust.
Cheers. 😁✌🖖
with the power system directly under the table saw, wouldn't it get constantly covered in dust?
I am currently designing my own workbench, to fit into a small 1 car garage type space. and I'm planning to use the space under the table saw, as dust collection. Which, in its most basic of forms, will be a deep removable drawer. I do have a few more cool ideas, but I'm still developing a design, so I'll get back to you on them later 😊👍
This is a good point. I really didnt show it well in the video but the drawers are under the table saw and the battery is under the opposite end. I plan to put a cupboard door in front of it too. It isnt covered after a few weeks testing but a light layer of dust is building. What this weeks video for a good dust collection idea I saw on instagram. Basically I have managed to get a cyclone under the table and it would be really easy to have a vacuum in the next compartment too.
@@startmaking1
cool, I look forward to seeing this when the video goes up
Hey mark.! Knock up a Right angled plywood sanding pad for finishing the edges. And if you’d built the whole top as removable you could have done the lot with the flush trim bit.!!!!! Also what’s going on with the floor.!!! The more stuff you put in there - the less inclined you’ll be to do it.!!!! And That O.S.B. Isn’t going to last much longer, especially with the world war one “ TRENCH WARFARE “ exhibit you’re working on !!! 😂😂😂
Very good point Ian. The floor is a bug bear. I have been waiting for better weather to carry all the sheets down there. As I have to store them in the garden while I fit them and I cant remember the last time it wasn't raining. Love the WW1 analogy., I have so much work to do outside. But the fun work is in the workshop.
It looks really nice. I like the look of the black laminate top with the wood border. Is there a reason you didn't incorporate the router table into the top?
It is tricky. I really want a router in there but with the table saw on the end I cannot make use of the fence. So I would have to put it in the assembly section. I need to make use of the table first to see if that is what I want. Plus I only have a trim router. If I am to use a router in the table I would want it to be a larger one. But it is a definite possibility.
Where did the laminate come from ? Great build 👍🏻
Hi I got mine from laminateandply.com . Not cheap but the sheet is huge and so I laminated anything tat stood still long enough.
Where did you get the melamine from and how much do they sell it for? I want to cover my workbench with it when i get around to building one.
The laminate was from laminateandply.com I cant remember exactly how much but around £200 for a really large piece. Way bigger than the work bench. Really good value if you have other surfaces you can cover too.
I think the lack of vise is a big ommission? I just bought a 2nd one - literally last night....
I maybe agree. But there is definite scope to add one in. I use the moxon visa a. lot and have a lot of hold downs I am experimenting with.
@@startmaking1 I use a Moxon vise for fine joinery but I use a bench vise for rougher work. Which is the majority of what I do.
Great build. Where did you get the laminate from?
Thank you. I got is from laminateandply.com
Hi Mark....where did you get the laminate from?
I got it from laminateandply.com you can order free testers which I liked and they were really helpful.
Thanks Mark I really appreciate that!@@startmaking1
Can I ask what that blue tape is and where I can buy it? I am in the UK.
Yes no worries. It is just painters tape or masking tape. To be honest I get mine off amazon. If you struggle to find it head to my website, all the tools and accessories are listed with links.
@@startmaking1 Thank you, I appreciate that. Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it and it has inspired me to get off my backside and get into my workshop.
Nice build Mark - I’m in the market for some laminate to cover my worktops on my benches - can you let me know the supplier / type you have used it looks great! Thanks.
Hi Duncan. The laminate was from laminateandply.com. It is the super matt, charcoal or black I forget. Really big sheet for the cost. So it is worth it if you are going to be able to use it all. A little pricey if not.
@@startmaking1 thanks Mark that’s great - I’ve loads to cover will definitely use a full sheet if not more - at some point I’ll share my workshop creations! Keep up the great work.
I look forward to that,
Who did you order the laminate from?
Hi Michael. laminateandply.com
Are you considering building the router table into this new work bench?
It is tricky. I really want a router in there but with the table saw on the end I cannot make use of the fence. So I would have to put it in the assembly section. I need to make use of the table first to see if that is what I want. Plus I only have a trim router. If I am to use a router in the table I would want it to be a larger one. But it is a definite possibility.
@@startmaking1 I was thinking the same thing, "now, if he could just incorporate a new router table in, it'd be perfect", lol. That can be for your workbench, mk. 2 (or would it be mk. 3?) though - always gotta leave something for those future videos ;p
spot on.
Are your 2x4s over there actually 2x4? Honest question as I am American born and raised. They look bigger than ours which are actually smaller
Ours are all over the place to be honest. I think that the ones I got were mainly around 45mm but 95mm but there is fluctuation between them all.
@@startmaking1 so for us USA idiots, roughly same but slightly larger in width it seems. Ty for response. I guess video made them look like old world 2x4s which were actually 2x4”. And yes, ours are all over the place to.
Where did you get the laminate from?
Do a Google search, for dealers near you.
Hi I got mine from laminateandply.com . Not cheap but the sheet is huge and so I laminated anything tat stood still long enough.
Thanks, much appreciated
Maybe turn saw fence around....
Why, is it on wrong.
@@startmaking1during the making of bench but not in main title picture
support bar flips over I generally have push stick there it is as standard on my 745
Brilliant. Thank you. I was worried. Im not all that experienced with a table saw.
Do you have plans?
Sadly not. Mainly a lack of computer skills. But also as the table is still evolving.
Does anyone really ever stop working on their workbench?
Two days ago, I saw so much wasted space on one side of my bench, so I spent a few hours drilling, routing, sawing, gluing, and scattering magnets and clips where i saw fit. All of my most used tools are now even closer to me. Instead of them being 80cm behind me, they're now 15cm within eye sight. I think i just improved my productivity and organisation by 81.25%. 😅
Your workbench will never be complete. You'll just have higher priority projects that need the workbench as it is now, not how youd like it to be in the future.
I dont think I ever will. But I kind of like that. I think that is why I love French cleat walls so much.
