Extrusions are worth the cost but they are crazy expensive when you get to these larger profiles. We can all agree that 2x pine framing lumber is out of the question. I would have used 6/4 euro beech. Straight lined and thicknessed at the lumber yard, it would run about $250 for this project. It would be plenty strong and a lot prettier. It would take a good deal longer to assemble of course. But the difference becomes insignificant when you consider the overall time this project must have taken from planning to completion.
@@frankshannon3235 The one advantage of the aluminum is that it would be easy to break down and transport since it's super light. Something to consider. This stuff looks awesome but I'm not ready to drop a grand for a table. At that point you might as well make it out of steel so you have a welding table too!
I work for Ford Motor Co. We have stations on our transmission assembly line that are nearly 75% extruded aluminum construction. Triangulation is key, plus the actual shape of the aluminum adds strength. Great video. 👍
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection ruclips.net/user/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
I was a wood worker for many years. I am now retired and cant do a lot, but I enjoy watching you use all these new tools and make those awesome tables. If only, I was 20 yrs younger and had seen your videos then, boy oh boy would I have jumped on that train lloll. No way I could do what you do now but then again I enjoy watching what you do. Keep up the good work and good luck. I have give you plenty of likes and I am a subscriber.
We use aluminum extrusion at work all the time for industrial workstations and benches and I've never had a complaint. A lot of companies make this t-slot style assembly. I personally love it. It's also super easy to disassemble and reassemble and its still as stout as it was brand new
Hey Cam! Just wanted to thank you for all your videos. I've learned so much and actually built my own epoxy table because of your videos. My girlfriend and I successfully built a 4' x 8' river table on our first try. Largely in part because of your videos. I've never commented so thank you! We appreciate your insight over the years.
Led Zeppelin, because I am an old guy and they have been my favorite band since 1974. Even though you haven't poured any epoxy lately, I still learn new things from your videos. I can only imagine the satisfaction you must feel as your shop comes together.
We use a lot of that 80/20 here at my company and I absolutely love it. I had never thought to use it for a workbench or work table build. What comes to mind is if you get a new miter saw thats a different height you don't have to rebuild the shelf for it, just loosen the fasteners and adjust as needed. Great Idea!
Sweet Comfort Band - I gotta say, I really appreciate your voice-over approach. All the dialog is easy to hear & understand, as well as packing more pertinent information into the video. I would imagine it's also much easier for you to not worry about audio editing. So win-win!
RUSH those extrusions to me! I love the workbench and this outfeed table! I also appreciate the way you’re thinking outside the box and making your shop efficient, practical, and sexy (if that’s possible). Keep it comin’!!
To be perfectly honest with you, the reason I keep coming back to your channel is the honesty. That’s not to say other channels aren’t honest, I just like “warts and all” honesty.
Garth Brooks, love the shop builds and the project builds, I get tips from both, I think we aspire to have a larger shop, or new tools, and it is great to see what others are using and why. Keep them coming! And thank you for the work that you put in making them! Stay safe.
ABBA - Actually, I'm more of an individual performer than band person. I like watching how things go together, so whether it is the miter station or the outfeed table, I enjoy the video. I have my brother-in-law watching your channel. He was asking about epoxy tables. I can see he will have metal extrusion tables like these next time I see his place! Keep up the great work. Oh, the knife is for gardening. I have a similar one. They are great for digging in hard dirt or breaking through roots. Have a great weekend!
As soon as I saw that you were building a bench out of standard extrusion I knew it woukd be the world's most expensive bench. A lot of people talking that don't know what they are talking about, aluminum is actually stiffer, by weight than steel. That said, nice bench, more than I need, I"m pretty set with my 1948 Unisaw that I completely restored and steel base aluminum top router table that I made my self, as I am a machinist and welder.
The aluminium extrusion looks like it would be perfect for building a router table or router slab flattening jig, versatile stuff! Great build with lots of useful little tips and techniques.
7:58 you can buy liner berrings I've seen guys make sliding table for tablesaw with this stuff. Your only limit is what you can think up its like an erector set we played with as kids back in the 60s
Hey Cam, I really enjoy watching all your videos and have learned a lot over the last year. I did an epoxy river table last year following literally all your advice and skills. Literally all. I use the same epoxy, dry black walnut wood, the same techniques and finishes. Long story short, the girl i did this table for texted me yesterday and the epoxy had cracked across and is separating from the wood in a few spots. This pour was done back in July of last year, and cured for about 2 months before attaching a frame and legs to it and finishing it. the wood was sealed with shellac and roughed up and cleaned before the pour. the table was about 1.5" thick and i did it in 2 different pours as suggested. i monitored the temp for the first few days and had a fan on it and the mold was raised up to allow air flow under, just like i've seen you do in many videos. The temp never exceeded 105 degrees. Even so, the finished product came out great and it has been 6 months since the pour. Im confused why now it cracked and its having problems as opposed to back then. Also i am looking for advice on how to fix it and not have a repeat. I would love to know if you can point me in the right direction. Thank you and keep up the great work.
@@BlacktailStudio Thank you very much, for some reason i thought 1 of your videos said that was ok to use, maybe it was another video i saw, appriciated.
I personally got to design this structural framing and it’s so nice to see people still using it. Structural aluminum framing will take thousands of pounds of force it never rusts you can always drill it and it’s incredibly versatile.
I've watched a couple of your videos where you struggle with flipping a large tabletop over. Have you considered some sort of simple block and tackle system secured to the ceiling? If rigged properly, you could use it to gently and safely raise the slab to verticle, then lower it onto the other side. You might also need some sort of stops to keep the slab from sliding while being raised or lowered.
Really Enjoy all of your video's so far. I have watched about 20 so far , 2 or 3 of which with my father who is 80yrs old and had a stroke a few months back. First bit of bonding we have done in 20yrs or more. Your very talented and I'm glad you were here for my circumstances :) A very warm thank you and love from Scotland.
Alice In Chains, getting ready to start on my out feed table/work bench. It’s been great to see different ideas from people as I build my shop also. Thanks for the shop videos!
Third Day is my favorite band... I was yelling at the screen, it's a bird call! A BIRD CALL!! I keep one of those around my neck when I'm out hunting, I use it to talk to the chickadees and nuthatches that drop by while I sit in the woods. :D
I don't really have a favorite band but more a lover of many genre of music of my childhood. Glam rock, late 80's/ 90's hip hop and just all country music. I have no question but loving the content even a year later.
Journey - Loved the idea of the extruded aluminum table. I've been working with EA for almost 15 years and always wondsred why more people didn't take advantage of its rigid construction properties. CNC home builders swear by them. Great job. By the way, you might consider picking up an inexpensive Lavalier Microphone. Your on camera voice sounds very "tin-ee" and like your speaking into a can. Again liked the video very much.
Men at Work. Your tips and product suggestions are very helpful. I would say with your line of videos they make for a complete discussion and presentation of a real working wood shop. I value this approach as should most who do any woodworking as it helps with what I mentioned, suggestions. You also have a huge advantage with space and tools which we know can be a huge part of the battle of producing quality product. I work in my garage with what many could call a mini shop and of course limited tools that come with that but I feel I put out some pretty good stuff considering my limitations.
I like the shop videos, lol I like getting ideas from others! Instead of favorite band, maybe who do you listen to while in the shop?? For me it’s Disturbed lately!
I subscribed because of this video, I am a disabled Veteran HOPING to learn to make wood crafts on a CNC and eventually a Laser Engraver, I was researching options to make as easy, sturdy, and flat a 5'x5' table as possible for a Onefinity CNC I will have to start with a heavy 2x4 table but I will save for an extruded aluminum one soon as I can.
The Eagles. Long time watcher here, first time commenter. Love all your builds and also enjoy the shop build. I'm currently in the middle of my "ultimate shop build" and really enjoy seeing what other craftsman are doing. I haven't made a resin table yet but there is definitely one in my future. Thanks Can for all you share.
"The Blue Nile" again a fantastic project and build. Watching you with the 120lb slab and NO safety shoes on made a little queasy Cam. Brilliant from Bonny Scotland.
Black Crows. I am with the others - projects are great (they were the reason I began following) but these shop videos (best tools, stations, products, etc.) are great for some of us. I have not even started to build my shop (or do a project) - yet I am fairly addicted to everything you have been doing. Appreciate the effort! Hopefully will save me a lot of mistakes...
I've made several tables from extruded aluminum including a router table & planer stand. I was lucky & used it in the shop I used to work for so, FREE!!! Plus, I got the drill & fixture for free too!! They're really cool & extremely sturdy!!
Moody Blues. We moved into a condo pre-retirement and I really miss doing doing projects in my garage (we have no garage). Thanks for what you do. Love all you videos.
YES - You need a shirt with "I put hot sauce on my Habanero🔥" I laugh, my shop is maybe twice as big as your outfeed table. I joke that I have to make whatever was originally on my mind because there isn't any room to change my mind.
Journey. I know that this is well over a year, but I do enjoy videos like this since it is slowly giving me ideas and suggestions for things I might want to my own shop one day. Plus, it is nice to see how it grows and you slowly build your shop to your desire. So I work in the aerospace industry, and we have a lot of those extruded aluminum products, and years ago they started having some of the manufacturing desks replaced with desks made of those, and I would like to know how things have turned out for you over the past year+ using it and it holding up. One of our biggest problems is that overtime, the hardware holding things together, such as those angle braces, slowly become undone causing the desks to wobble, and become unstable, and it really frustrates everyone. Hopefully you have not run into similar issues, but I love how your table came out, and looks sharp!
Usually after dinner I sit and watch some of your videos. My 9 year old son was watching with me and said 'I don't know why but this is satisfying'. Keep doing what you do and keep talking 🙂
With the insane cost of wood (yesterday priced a 2 x 4 x 8ft at HD for $31) metal makes more sense. My 2 x 4 outfeed table is ready for the firewood pile. Getting ready to build a new 16 x 20ft shop, will be framing with metal...will then be building new tables with 80/20. Great video...love the idea of just sending the dimensions to Frametech and let them package everything...definetely worth not having to figure out all the hardware, cut lengths and bits and pieces..THKX!
DEVO... I think that really dated me, but it was the first concert I ever attended. Even though I don’t have a shop to move into yet, think I’m going to order myself a kit for a garage work station, then convert it into an out feed table later on. The shop has really come together. “If you’re not putting hot sauce on your sandwich, you’re doing it wrong” epic!!
For anyone considering something like this. If you want to save a ton of money, you can tap the ends of aluminum extrusions, and drill a corresponding hole in the piece it attaches to, which creates a poor man's version of the fancy connectors in this video. Just a pan head socket screw in the tapped end, then run your hex driver through the through hole to tighten the screw during assembly. Does require a fair bit of planning and measuring to make sure things line up right, but it works just as well as these connectors. Alternatively, you can also use flat plate style brackets for those kinds of applications which are pretty cheap as well. Those connectors are around 6 bucks each depending on distributor, and honestly I would expect like at least 30-40% the cost of this build is just in those connectors.
Zach Brown Band - I can't speak for everyone, but I equally enjoy the shop transformation videos. I am always looking up ways to maximize efficiency and seeing you implement different ideas really helps!
Level 42 - I can see tons of uses for that aluminum extrusion - but that huge outfeed table is just about a perfect project. I might use it for my torsion box assembly table base.
Mannheim Steamroller - I really like these videos of your shop because I am designing my own shop to be built later this year (with a new house). I don't know that I would put out $1000 for the frame, but the speed of setting up shop is important to you to get production going again. Many people have videos on making a table that is on wheels, then can drop into place and have storage underneath. I think that makes more sense for a small shop that will have limited space, your big garage it makes sense what you have done. I for one, am looking forward to your new vacuum system setup video. Keep up the good work.
impossible to pick a favorite band, cause of the amount of music I listen to. but if you give me a place in US will name one. its just amazing to see the level of customization and the quality and design in tools. I can only dream of this level of work and workshop prep. this is all high-end stuff.
Aluminium extrusion is the bomb! I built a CNC out of it, and it literally took me just over an hour to assemble all of the mechanical parts, without having to fit and re-fit.
Every time metal is folded or extruded with right angles the strength is multiplied. Just like flat stock is easy to bend and angle iron is not. I never questioned the rigidity of this aluminum product you showed for this purpose. Nice build.
The Beatles would LOVE this table! I'm lucky....I live in Thailand and they have a HUGE extrusion factory 20 minutes from my home and their prices are very reasonable....and they make all the connectors, etc., at the same factory. I see a lot of extrusions in my future. :-)
Florida Georgia Line - I do miss seeing your projects but am enjoying your workshop videos also! I wish I would have seen this video before I made my router table video that I’m uploading next Wednesday. That router inlay kit would have come in very handy. I ended up just tracing my router plate outline onto the board and cleared it out with my router by free hand.
You just answered my prayers, I am going to build a homemade Cnc router and I was going to build from wood but did not want the weight this will fit the Bill much better
Very nice! Please consider making another video using the router inlay trick. Many would view and benefit if you were to make one that covers specifically how to use an inlay kit to make a recess,for a router plate. Lots of content out there, but none that really uses that method which looks as though the results cannot get much better. Love your content, thank you for the consideration!!
sir shop builds are a must to go with normal builds.... there have been many times I like to know how to make the table's and that to make the builds that people do... so both are needed in my eyes
The Beatles. That extruded aluminum table is awesome, if a bit pricey. But like you demonstrated, it's light and strong, and it can be assembled rather quickly.
Colin Hay. Obscure but the best...oh and I learned a bunch here on this one. I am going to be building a new shop soon so I will watch all of yours for tips. I have an electric table using the 8020 and it raises and lowers 3 feet I believe. Great stuff
The Police! Really impressive setup. I'm using an old desk I got from Goodwill and cut t-slots into for sleds. It's "propped" up on blocks to match the saw height. I told myself I'd build a proper outfeed table when I got the table levelled. that was 3 years ago!
Traffic, Low Spark of High Heeled Boys - Thank you for the video. Love the extruded aluminum for the outfield/router table. I am going to look into that one.
First time i am seeing the inlay concept starting at 4:00. that is actually pretty hard to conceptualize and accomplish without those matched flush trim bits and the bushings. I and a lot of people will use a rabbiting bit to reduce the original template, then try to squeeze a drill bit into the final piece to create a hole for another round of flush trimming. usually there is some kind of flaw at that starting point with the drilled hole. 👍 good stuff, wish I would have seen this a couple months ago when I was making molds for fiberglass boat hatches and receivers..
Dire Straits. Cool shop table! Great that you can attach so many things to those aluminum channels. i enjoy your videos regardless of furniture making or shop builds. Always very interesting. Thank you!
I have spent so much time googling aluminum track and could never find out what words google calls it. I am saving this video so when I am ready for a track system I can go right to their web site. Congrats on two companies sponsoring a video. I like the bench but in a small shop under bench storage is king. I’m sure you will figure that out for another video. Great job
4:12 "we needed to make it a little more difficult" feels like mine and my father's motto when it comes to our projects. For example, I recently made a tabletop hook ring toss drinking game and instead of using a straight dowel which could easily be placed in the center of the two different sized boards, I decided to use a curvy branch and had to find a way to mark the points where the branch would be placed so that the two different sized boards would be properly aligned.
I use this same style framing in an Industrial environment at work but from the 8020 Brand, it's solid stuff but with anything that will be subject to vibration loctite is a must. It's amazing all the different things that can be built with this extruded aluminum.
Metallica. I just mounted my router table into my saw table last week. I did it freehand and I was happy with how it turned out (until now 😉). Thanks for sharing.
Theres a really neat trick/extra function you can add to these 8020 extrusions that I have not seen on any MFT builds as yet. Its a very handy feature for any woodworking shop.
Lonestar, my favorite band by far. Your shop is looking amazing. I too will have a good size shop..... someday. I have use some of your shop storage ideas and they work great in a small shop also.
Nice Hori Hori. My favorite garden tool. I have a really hard time choosing a single favorite band, but if a knife was at my throat I might say LeBrock, or The Midnight, or Detritus, or Jessie Frye. Mostly New RetroWave stuff.
Allman Brothers. These workspace videos are great, your build vids are always good but having the right workspace makes a huge difference, it's good to see other people's ideas on workspace organization
I really love going backwards in your videos. Just love all of them, thanks so much. I wish I had the space and money to do some woodworking myself because I have some idea but alas, I must wait for the future. But I appreciate the inspiration nonetheless.
Tool! Wish I had seen this two weeks ago; I just built my new work table in my new to me garage. Although functional, it’s not nearly as modular. I really like the t nuts, it reminds of setting up parts on the bed milling machine.
Foo Fighters! Neat way to include your routing table with your work bench. I was going to try something like that on a much smaller scale in my work shed. Keep up the great work!
Rush! The aluminum extrusion framing is great. Yeah, a little pricey, but super easy to work with, modify, and extremely strong and straight. Excellent video, love the progress on the new shop.
Another bonus, it would cost you the same to build it out of wood here in 2021
😂😂 well said

I've made several tables from extruded aluminum including a router table & planer stand. I was lucky & used it in the shop I used to work for so, FREE!!! Plus, I got the drill & fixture for free too!!
They're really cool & extremely sturdy!!
Moody Blues. We moved into a condo pre-retirement and I really miss doing doing projects in my garage (we have no garage). Thanks for what you do. Love all you videos.
YES - You need a shirt with "I put hot sauce on my Habanero🔥"
I laugh, my shop is maybe twice as big as your outfeed table. I joke that I have to make whatever was originally on my mind because there isn't any room to change my mind.
That’s funny!
I have a friend that has a T shirt that says he puts sriracha on his sriracha.
👍 for YES
@@dandyeh sriracha barely qualifies as hot sauce.
Journey. I know that this is well over a year, but I do enjoy videos like this since it is slowly giving me ideas and suggestions for things I might want to my own shop one day. Plus, it is nice to see how it grows and you slowly build your shop to your desire. So I work in the aerospace industry, and we have a lot of those extruded aluminum products, and years ago they started having some of the manufacturing desks replaced with desks made of those, and I would like to know how things have turned out for you over the past year+ using it and it holding up. One of our biggest problems is that overtime, the hardware holding things together, such as those angle braces, slowly become undone causing the desks to wobble, and become unstable, and it really frustrates everyone. Hopefully you have not run into similar issues, but I love how your table came out, and looks sharp!
Snarky Puppy, hands down.
Usually after dinner I sit and watch some of your videos. My 9 year old son was watching with me and said 'I don't know why but this is satisfying'. Keep doing what you do and keep talking 🙂
Too expensive
No it’s modular. Awesome for changing your shop later.

Dave Mathews Band of course! Dave has all the right words.
Great content Cam.
With the insane cost of wood (yesterday priced a 2 x 4 x 8ft at HD for $31) metal makes more sense. My 2 x 4 outfeed table is ready for the firewood pile. Getting ready to build a new 16 x 20ft shop, will be framing with metal...will then be building new tables with 80/20. Great video...love the idea of just sending the dimensions to Frametech and let them package everything...definetely worth not having to figure out all the hardware, cut lengths and bits and pieces..THKX!
DEVO... I think that really dated me, but it was the first concert I ever attended. Even though I don’t have a shop to move into yet, think I’m going to order myself a kit for a garage work station, then convert it into an out feed table later on. The shop has really come together. “If you’re not putting hot sauce on your sandwich, you’re doing it wrong” epic!!
DEVO?? Didn’t see that one coming david!
Wow this is quite strong. More than capable to hold 99.99% of any woodworking projects
For sure!
For anyone considering something like this. If you want to save a ton of money, you can tap the ends of aluminum extrusions, and drill a corresponding hole in the piece it attaches to, which creates a poor man's version of the fancy connectors in this video. Just a pan head socket screw in the tapped end, then run your hex driver through the through hole to tighten the screw during assembly. Does require a fair bit of planning and measuring to make sure things line up right, but it works just as well as these connectors. Alternatively, you can also use flat plate style brackets for those kinds of applications which are pretty cheap as well.
Those connectors are around 6 bucks each depending on distributor, and honestly I would expect like at least 30-40% the cost of this build is just in those connectors.
Very nice!
Zach Brown Band - I can't speak for everyone, but I equally enjoy the shop transformation videos. I am always looking up ways to maximize efficiency and seeing you implement different ideas really helps!
That’s awesome to hear shade
Level 42 - I can see tons of uses for that aluminum extrusion - but that huge outfeed table is just about a perfect project. I might use it for my torsion box assembly table base.
For sure Kurt
I love those extrusions. I'd like a crossmember at the bottom though and plywood dividers and then you'd have plenty of storage with drawers.
Mannheim Steamroller - I really like these videos of your shop because I am designing my own shop to be built later this year (with a new house). I don't know that I would put out $1000 for the frame, but the speed of setting up shop is important to you to get production going again. Many people have videos on making a table that is on wheels, then can drop into place and have storage underneath. I think that makes more sense for a small shop that will have limited space, your big garage it makes sense what you have done. I for one, am looking forward to your new vacuum system setup video. Keep up the good work.
Thanks jon 👊
impossible to pick a favorite band, cause of the amount of music I listen to. but if you give me a place in US will name one.
its just amazing to see the level of customization and the quality and design in tools. I can only dream of this level of work and workshop prep. this is all high-end stuff.
Aluminium extrusion is the bomb! I built a CNC out of it, and it literally took me just over an hour to assemble all of the mechanical parts, without having to fit and re-fit.
Crazy right??
Every time metal is folded or extruded with right angles the strength is multiplied. Just like flat stock is easy to bend and angle iron is not. I never questioned the rigidity of this aluminum product you showed for this purpose. Nice build.
Well said mike
The Beatles would LOVE this table! I'm lucky....I live in Thailand and they have a HUGE extrusion factory 20 minutes from my home and their prices are very reasonable....and they make all the connectors, etc., at the same factory. I see a lot of extrusions in my future. :-)
Florida Georgia Line - I do miss seeing your projects but am enjoying your workshop videos also! I wish I would have seen this video before I made my router table video that I’m uploading next Wednesday. That router inlay kit would have come in very handy. I ended up just tracing my router plate outline onto the board and cleared it out with my router by free hand.
Oh dang!!
Lake Street Dive, baby! Nice table, looking forward to the day I can build out a big shop!
Thanks Jesse!
I saw a video on "lake street" great sounds! They did a remake of Jackson 5's ...? That girl's voice is outstanding!!
You just answered my prayers, I am going to build a homemade Cnc router and I was going to build from wood but did not want the weight this will fit the Bill much better
Nightwish. I know I'm late to the party, but the love I'm seeing for Rush is great. Them and Led Zeppelin are easily amongst my faves.
Ducting video please! Your videos are super helpful because you actually explain the decisions and thought process and mistakes.
Very nice! Please consider making another video using the router inlay trick. Many would view and benefit if you were to make one that covers specifically how to use an inlay kit to make a recess,for a router plate. Lots of content out there, but none that really uses that method which looks as though the results cannot get much better. Love your content, thank you for the consideration!!
sir shop builds are a must to go with normal builds.... there have been many times I like to know how to make the table's and that to make the builds that people do... so both are needed in my eyes
The Beatles. That extruded aluminum table is awesome, if a bit pricey. But like you demonstrated, it's light and strong, and it can be assembled rather quickly.
Colin Hay. Obscure but the best...oh and I learned a bunch here on this one. I am going to be building a new shop soon so I will watch all of yours for tips. I have an electric table using the 8020 and it raises and lowers 3 feet I believe. Great stuff
Foo Fighters - seeing more and more makers using 80/20 in their shops. Great build.
The Police! Really impressive setup. I'm using an old desk I got from Goodwill and cut t-slots into for sleds. It's "propped" up on blocks to match the saw height. I told myself I'd build a proper outfeed table when I got the table levelled. that was 3 years ago!
Now it’s time!
Fleet Foxes. Somehow I have not found your channel until now! I've been binge watching all of your content. I love seeing your new shop unfold!
Thanks for coming along Scott!
Traffic, Low Spark of High Heeled Boys - Thank you for the video. Love the extruded aluminum for the outfield/router table. I am going to look into that one.
Oh awesome
First time i am seeing the inlay concept starting at 4:00. that is actually pretty hard to conceptualize and accomplish without those matched flush trim bits and the bushings. I and a lot of people will use a rabbiting bit to reduce the original template, then try to squeeze a drill bit into the final piece to create a hole for another round of flush trimming. usually there is some kind of flaw at that starting point with the drilled hole.
👍 good stuff, wish I would have seen this a couple months ago when I was making molds for fiberglass boat hatches and receivers..
Dire Straits. Wow that is the "ultimate" wiring video! Thanks for showing a different approach. Food for thought.
Great band!
Dire Straits. Cool shop table! Great that you can attach so many things to those aluminum channels. i enjoy your videos regardless of furniture making or shop builds. Always very interesting. Thank you!
In this moment, those aluminium tables are impressive and can hold a lot of weight I love it!
Very versatile and handy.
Everyone should have one.
Thanks Dennis!
I have spent so much time googling aluminum track and could never find out what words google calls it. I am saving this video so when I am ready for a track system I can go right to their web site.
Congrats on two companies sponsoring a video.
I like the bench but in a small shop under bench storage is king. I’m sure you will figure that out for another video. Great job
Check out my miter station build a couple weeks ago
4:12 "we needed to make it a little more difficult" feels like mine and my father's motto when it comes to our projects. For example, I recently made a tabletop hook ring toss drinking game and instead of using a straight dowel which could easily be placed in the center of the two different sized boards, I decided to use a curvy branch and had to find a way to mark the points where the branch would be placed so that the two different sized boards would be properly aligned.
Beatles. This new table is cool. You’d think that anything made to specs would be beyond belief expensive. You have great ideas.
Kula Shaker. Who are they you ask! Best live band I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen a few. I like both types of builds, great channel. 👍
Thanks Chris!
Iron Maiden. That aluminium table is giving me ideas for when I finally get my workspace sorted.
Oh awesome
you are not only a very good carpenter and entertaining to listen to,,,,you are good at assembly with the equipment,,,,merry Christmas
Boston. I love your workshop build videos, don't stop. The build videos will come. I also love your narration over the build much easier to hear.
Thanks Cary!
I use this same style framing in an Industrial environment at work but from the 8020 Brand, it's solid stuff but with anything that will be subject to vibration loctite is a must. It's amazing all the different things that can be built with this extruded aluminum.
Queen, the shop is coming together nicely. Great use of space. Love the look of the mat black.
Great band!!
Metallica. I just mounted my router table into my saw table last week. I did it freehand and I was happy with how it turned out (until now 😉). Thanks for sharing.
Shop envy is real.
I’m sure it’s good 👊👊
Theres a really neat trick/extra function you can add to these 8020 extrusions that I have not seen on any MFT builds as yet. Its a very handy feature for any woodworking shop.
Lonestar, my favorite band by far. Your shop is looking amazing. I too will have a good size shop..... someday. I have use some of your shop storage ideas and they work great in a small shop also.
Very cool! I am currently using 1010 extrusion for an argentinian grill surround, truck cap platform and track cap roof rack. So fun to mess with!!
The construction of the workbench is too cool
Pink Floyd is my favorite band. Enjoyed this shop build video very much.
Led Zepplin is the greatest band of all time!! All these great videos,and none of "shop sountracks & shop audio equipment"
That is the correct answer
I love both the shop and regular projects. Infrastructure is a cornerstone.
Nice Hori Hori. My favorite garden tool.
I have a really hard time choosing a single favorite band, but if a knife was at my throat I might say LeBrock, or The Midnight, or Detritus, or Jessie Frye. Mostly New RetroWave stuff.
Allman Brothers. These workspace videos are great, your build vids are always good but having the right workspace makes a huge difference, it's good to see other people's ideas on workspace organization
Hey man, I am trying to watch all your videos, just for fun. Not a woodworker, just a old gal enjoying what you do
I really love going backwards in your videos. Just love all of them, thanks so much. I wish I had the space and money to do some woodworking myself because I have some idea but alas, I must wait for the future. But I appreciate the inspiration nonetheless.
Tool! Wish I had seen this two weeks ago; I just built my new work table in my new to me garage. Although functional, it’s not nearly as modular. I really like the t nuts, it reminds of setting up parts on the bed milling machine.
Oh for sure
Depeche Mode - love the shop builds but cant wait for some new tables ! the black finish on the out-feed table looks very professional
Thanks Murray!
I know the video is almost 2 years old but I enjoy going back and re-watching these from time to time. By the way, my favorite band is AC/DC.
That’s a solid band
Tool is my favorite band...I love the shop video's just as much. I'm working on my shop so its a big help. Thank you!
Damn, I forgot Tool in my list. Great band and Def one of my favorites
Great band!
no favorite band. Great job. A friend of mine built a rolling utility cart from similar aluminum extrusion material.
Foo Fighters! Neat way to include your routing table with your work bench. I was going to try something like that on a much smaller scale in my work shed. Keep up the great work!
Rush! The aluminum extrusion framing is great. Yeah, a little pricey, but super easy to work with, modify, and extremely strong and straight. Excellent video, love the progress on the new shop.
Thanks dean
Pearl Jam. The shop videos are just as informative as the build videos. There's always something to draw from to make your shop better. Thanks!
Thanks!
