I love these plans. However I have a strange question: where in the heck do you find black melamine? Big box store carries white, so they referred me to local hardwood dealer. Nope. They recommended a place specializing in plywood. Who referred me back to big box store or a hardwood dealer! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This was perfect as a vanity desk for me. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxMAlHv7-BBWMrPRm5-uEoD6rtdT7SG2Qr Especially the glossy finish. Easy to cleanI was looking for something that wasn't the traditional white and with more of a modern feel. This fit the bill beautifully. I put it together with no problems, by myself in under an hour.Make sure you double check where you place the drawer tracks before screwing down. I had one track that needed to be aligned with different holes than the rest.
@@woodwhisperer It just sounded as though you wanted them to add material back on if too loose. All I thought was "I cut this board twice and it is still too short"
I'm a beginning woodworker and found this book ruclips.net/user/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ gives useful advice on different types of tools & their usage, types of bits, safety etc. So when i do start to buy tools and bits, i basically know what to look for, how to use them & the types of woods certain bits are recommended to use on.
18th century piano factories would be filled with fine art so it would inspire the builders to make beautiful pianos. You are your surroundings, if your shop is beautiful, you are more likely to make beautiful projects.
Oh my goodness so many memories. Marc, For what it’s worth after I plowed through every woodworks episode by David Marks, I then somehow found your “the jointer is jumpin’ “ episode via iTunes. I’ve been hooked sense. You truly are our community’s beloved pioneer. Not blowing smoke brother just tellin the truth!! I’ve said this before but it’s worth repeating. Thank you.
To anyone who bought and built this: Approximately how far does your top overhang on the front vs the back? There are no measurements in the plan and I’m trying to eye it up. I’m surprised how much bigger the top is than the cabinet.
I'm wondering the same. With a 48" wide top and a 30" deep cabinet, you have 18" of overhang to distribute. I haven't started mine yet. I'm thinking 3" or 4" overhang in the front. I can probably store some stuff in the 15" in the back.
Ah, Soul Patch Mark. Those were good times... This project looks great. I like the fact that it has very few bells and whistles. Only what you need and nothing more. Gives me several good ideas. Thanks for sharing!
I remember watching your torsion box build... Hard to believe it's that many years ago! I like to see you, Cremona, and others hone their skills by making great-looking shop furniture. it's inspirational, working in such an environment ... Some day, I hope to do the same!
So... Are the miter slots the same from Powermatic to SawStop or do you get to take advantage of the fact that you have an easily replaceable top that you'll have to cut new miter slots into?
"And because I like to be yelled at, I used walnut for the drawer fronts" 😆 I never understand why people get offended by nice shop furniture, especially in your situation, you're spending a lot of time in the shop, might as well look nice, plus it's on video all the time besides lol
Agree. I often make "overly nice" shop furniture as practice for the real thing. If the shop furniture comes out less than perfect, I won't be too upset either, as long as it's structurally sound.
6:12 You sounded pretty confident but I still wasn't 100% sure you were correct in your analysis. So I rewound the video 400 times and watched it over and over and I can now confirm that this was in fact a piece of plywood.
Now that is a useful outfeed table! I really like the well-thought-out storage space for your sled. I always seem to have mine in the way or tucked just out of reach.
Sometimes the one liners are pure cheese, other times I Illol(that's literally laugh out loud because "lol" it's over used). "If it's too tight, trim some off, if it's too loose, due the opposite."
Why the heck would anyone give this video a thumbs down? This is a great video. Thank you for the video, Marc. It offers a lot of great ideas and insight. I do find the furniture a bit fancy for a shop, but then again I've seen the tour to your shop and it is amazing.
Love the high end shop furniture. I agree that enjoying your shop furniture is cool! Use all the walnut you can! I'm going to try it. Thanks for sharing the build
Marc - thank you for this video and the awesome plans. I mostly finished this today - just need top install the top - and I'm very happy with the results. This was my first big "furniture" build (I've never built a drawer before), but I've been a finish carpenter for 10 years so I know the way around nice tools. So one problem I had: I set all the drawer slides exactly the same but there's one on the bottom left side that makes the drawer stick out by almost 1/8" proud of the trim. I can't figure out what's wrong - and hints on where to look? I really don't care much since it's shop furniture - but the next piece is a wine credenza for a very picky "client" - my wife. 🙂
Thanks Marc! I built that torsion box assembly table 10 or twelve years ago based on your video. It is still going strong! I love the outfeed assembly table idea, because I do a lot of sanding and assembly on my outfeed table table. I’m looking forward to building this one too. A lot of my shop furniture is based on your designs. Thanks for doing what you do!
That's really awesome to hear. I think if I had more room I'd happy still use a torsion box. But it's becoming harder to justify the space it consumes. This beast really fits the bill nicely.
Man, you kind of went Norm with the brad nails now that you have your own assistant to put wood filler in all those nail holes. 😜 (Old school Wood Talk reference.)
Dig the Spaceballs shirt! As for the "unnecessary" walnut, all the reason you need is "Because I wanted Walnut". That said, you and Drew over at Fisher's Shop should chat ;) (Just don't start adding slotted screws!)
This is just one of those wondering out loud things - did you really need the toe kick with the amount of overhang you have on the top? Not that it matters, just curious.
The toe kick does more than just make room for your toes. It allows the cabinet to start a few inches off the ground, which is something I like. So I would have designed something into the cabinet to allow for the drawer to start a few inches above the ground either way. So I figured why not just include a toe kick.
Nice out feed table. After watching your video, I’ve decided that’s what I need. The roller extensions just aren’t cutting it. The extra surface would be great! Thanks.
Looks like I’ll have to build a new out feed table now. I built the original outfeed table you made back in the day. Pretty sure that was the first WW video I saw.
Marc you are an artist and great timing - I was just planning a new outfeed for my shop and was leaning a total different direction but I just purchased your plans - will make a slight mod but love the simplicity and style of this one - nice jo
Awesome project. I not sure why, but I love watching shop projects more than I do furniture projects. I really love the contrasting woods used in the project.
Mark, you do great work. I made a similar table last fall. One thing I added was a 1" diameter whole in the plywood top (the sheet underneath the melamine). This way when I decide to replace the top sheet, I can poke a large dowel up through the whole and more easily pry up the melamine sheet.
Marc, you're the man. Question about the oak trim for the top - did you finish it? If not, what strategy would you recommend for finishing the hardwood trim with something like Arm-R-Seal? Mask the gluing surface, pre-finish the trim, then attach the trim? Attach, mask the melamine, and finish once attached? Something else? Thanks!
Undercount slides are fine. Great, even. But for my money, just not worth it - ESPECIALLY for shop stuff. I used them in an island refit for the kitchen. Not for the shop stuff I built and continue to build.
Nice project. I'll take the explanation /voice over any day vs .the cinematic montage that seems to be popular in woodworking videos these days. I must have those stretchy clamps!
As far as side mount slides go Every heavy duty metal toolbox comes with them for a reason, they're strong I personally use them on all my shop furniture, I feel like the under mounts wouldn't hold up as well in a shop environment
When I was mfg. furniture the outfield table was 1 5/8 lower than the table saw. This allowed for 3 rips from 3/4" ply sheet without having to stop and move material.
I don't blame you for wanting nice furniture in your shop. Makes perfect sense. Are you still making custom furniture as a primary job, or has RUclips and all your online (Guild, website) activity taken over for you as a primary?
@@woodwhisperer Well, you are very good at it! You have a gift for breaking things down and explaining them really well. I first found you way back when I made the purple heart cutting board and I've been accumulating tools ever since!
Just started this build and I'm mad at the edge banding method. Took this build on to try new methods, but i sure do hate hardwood edge banding. I think i started getting a hang of how much support my router needed by the time i was on my last panel.
I'm sure some people use them, especially if they use their table as a workbench-type surface. But for me, they'd be a waste. And since I like to draw on this table too, they'd be that annoying place where my pencil punches through the paper, lol.
Nope. that's what videos were called when RUclips's claim to fame was just funny cat videos. In those days, iTunes was king and audio podcasts were getting big. Once it became possible to upload and distribute videos via RSS, the term became "Video Podcasts" to differentiate them from audio. After RUclips became a real thing, the term video podcasts fell out of favor and now very few people even think of iTunes when talking about watching user-generated content. And the term "podcast" is now solely associated with audio content. Sorry for the history lesson, lol.

"If it is tight, cut the fronts and backs a little smaller or make the rabbits a little deeper. If too loose do the opposite" Wait. What?
I realize that may sound confusing but it is correct. :)
@@woodwhisperer It just sounded as though you wanted them to add material back on if too loose. All I thought was "I cut this board twice and it is still too short"
just cut the fronts and backs a little larger and make the rabbets a little shallower! You mean you don't have that setting on your table saw?
Same difference
great video thanks for sharing
All my shop uses lots of Walnut. When it only costs you $1.00 - $1.25/bd ft.................why not!
Do you have an affiliate link for the track saw square?

This guy! Mark, he's one smart cookie. The scrap dado trick for locating the matching groove was life altering potentially.
"Because I like getting yelled at" - haha. Life is too short for shitty wood. I used Cherry on my outfeed table.
Indeed, Cumaru is on almost all of my shop furniture - leftovers from a decking project and I enjoy it every day.

So... Are the miter slots the same from Powermatic to SawStop or do you get to take advantage of the fact that you have an easily replaceable top that you'll have to cut new miter slots into?
Incredible work on this one, Marc!
Curious, with the overhang of the top, was the toe kick necessary? I really like the looks of this table.
I'm disappointed that you didn't use ebony for the top and mother of pearl for the pulls.
There's always next time! :)
I liked this plan so much that I just now bought it. Kudos to you & your design skill set that I am obviously lacking.
straight 2 x 4? do those exist?
Very nice build, love the solid wood trim over the plywood idea.
For what they cost right now.. better believe I would be searching through the pile for the best ones.
I’ve looked in many places, could you point me in the direction to order and get black melamine?? Thank you

Hey!
Without combing through 304 comments, could tell me what you mean when you say "when its loose, do the opposite"? (Time stamp 14:11-ish)
As far as side mount slides go
Every heavy duty metal toolbox comes with them for a reason, they're strong
I personally use them on all my shop furniture, I feel like the under mounts wouldn't hold up as well in a shop environment
Also, using side-mount slides looses less volume for drawers much wider than they are tall.

For those soft-close hinges, on light doors, you can disengage the soft close mechanism on one of the two hinges to make them close a little faster.
I came for the information, I liked and subscribed because of the spaceballs shirt!
Grab a straight 2x4? Well, I guess that rules out Lowes and Home Depot.
Yes sir I do the same making my shop furnishings as nice as I can for the same reasons
What size Brady clamps are you using on this project. Thanks
Looking good. Also the outfeed table turned out pretty good
Nice. And you’re right about T-track. I spend more time cleaning them out than using them.
I'm sure some people use them, especially if they use their table as a workbench-type surface. But for me, they'd be a waste. And since I like to draw on this table too, they'd be that annoying place where my pencil punches through the paper, lol.
It looks like this out feed table CAN'T be used if your saw has a rear rail? Or, is it possible to modify the table to make it work?
I wish I could get plywood that nice. That many plies and it looks great. Sigh
You are very precise! Congrats!!
