This has to be the best 30 minute woodworking video I have ever watched. Cinematography was excellent, narration matched what your were doing, no run on's, no anoying music when it was present I hardly noticed it, which is how it should be. I love how when you make a mistake you show it, it makes the beginner feel like a normal person. Most of all the subject and instruction were helpful. I am inspired to produce content like this. Great job.
I'm a retired engineer that took great pains to design tools and fixtures that met specific needs as well as be flexible enough to meet future ones. Your ability to identify a need, create elegant solutions and build them with extreme skill and care was a pleasure to watch. You have a rare and wonderful mix of skill and talent ... you are a true craftsperson. Cheers
As a long term subscriber, and a commercial carpenter myself in hospitality sector, every time I just can not stop to admire you and your projects! Keep moving forward!👍👍👍
I love your attention to detail. You must spend a lot of time checking out all the smaller components. Then you build it with a sense of style. Great job!
I applaud you for crediting the videos that inspired you. So many times I see videos that people present ideas that are their own but are inspired (sometimes blatant rip-offs) by other's designs. Everyone likes to take the best ideas and try to combine them into their design. It's also convenient that you posted them to give us inspiration or a design that we like. 🙂
First time watching your channel and my first thought was, "You really have a well equipped shop!" I have been a finish carpenter for 25 years and mostly I carry a portable shop in my van and I set up what I can on each job, depending on available work area. Mostly, I build stairs and balustrades, custom doors and some built-in furniture. My shop at home is only a table saw, a drill press and a workbench. I have been making so much for so long with so few tools that I am now able to build almost anything with nearly no tools! You do nice work and I like your presentation.
Great video. Clear visuals, concise narration, and perhaps best of all the background music was not annoying! I've been combing through videos and articles on drill press table builds for the past week, with the intention of "stealing" the best ideas I come across. Unfortunately, most of these builds are simply regurgitations of the same tired ideas. You have presented 3 ideas that I haven't seen before: the miter-gear elevation crank, your use of magnets for mounting the extended table to the drill press's metal platform, and the tilt-down extension wing are all concepts I'm going to include in my own build. Thanks for posting this!
You are so OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), and that is a good thing, for a maker & carpenter.. loved the build.. I'm a retired master carpenter (I have detail related OCD (I'm a perfectionist)) I was a carpenter back in the day, way before computers or even phonematic nail guns or any battery tools.. Lots of tricks of the trades were lost, cause most tradesmen never shared their tricks with anyone, but they're apprentices and children.. Thanks to youtube and the early DIY shows on PBS, most of the old skills, methods & tricks won't be lost, also love watching the younger generation with a passion to build & create with they're own hands.. Thank you so much for sharing, you earned my subscription...
for years ive been watching your videos in great appreciation of your ideas and your amazing use of space and now since a few months I have a shared workshop! To tell you the truth it is the best feeling ever to finally be able to make all these nifty things for my own space :) thank you so much for all the content!
I will never own a drill press in my life, but I'm looking forward to watching this video. For me, it's all about the designing process and Cris' sense of aesthetics.
this just show up in the "suggested for you" and so glad it did. so its so good to see woman doing this kind of DIY. amazing job well done, great design to with the crank handle.... now a subscriber.
Don't know exactly how long you've been doing this, I consider you to be very much a professional woodworker congratulations. Keep up the good work looking forward to your next project
You are just one of the coolest and smartest people I have seen on Tube. Over the years, your videos have taught me a lot and gave me ideas that I wouldn’t have been able to come up with without your inventiveness. Love your work.
This was a very nice project and video coverage was great. I have to praise you too, for the use of interstitial music. I like a little music, but not when someone is talking. Also, I hate it when the music is so loud that I have to yank off my headphones. You got everything perfect on this one!
Oh wow, thank you!! I try to level out the sounds so they're not annoying or the voice becomes inaudible. Thanks for the feedback on that! I really appreciate when people point out these other aspects of the work.
This is by far the most beautiful and functional drill press table I have ever seen! I had to laugh though when you repaired the dado. Been there, as all woodworkers have! Great job!!!!
I subscribed a long time ago because your imagination was taking you to places. Great craftsmanship. It is also nice to see personality in the narration. Thank you for opening the curtain to the challenges and errors you've experienced, it makes you relatable especially the way you secure the glue with paint cans. I laughed but heck yeah I will do the same thing too. Keep on inspiring.
I love your methodology and presentation style, I also remain jealous of your drill bit selection and your ‘drawer setup’ Very nice result to all your efforts!
Just found your channel! LOVE IT. I am just starting to get into woodworking as a hobby because I am retired military and tired of just walking around in circles LOL!! Love the attention to detail
You are a perfectionist to the max and I love it. That is the most aesthetically pleasing Drill Press Table I've ever seen and I've researched many. Great job! Also, your video production is killer! 👌👌
Kudos!!! This is the sickest drill press table I’ve ever seen by far…. Super jealous… the moving of the height adjust was the biggest revelation of all. LOVE IT!! You’ve got a huge fan now which is not easy to do. GREAT JOB!!
This the first time i saw your video, i wasn't expecting too much,... I'm not easly impressed but you, you are one of a kind, your skillset, dedication, patience and perfectionism, i'm blown away my jaw dropped with disbelief. Me myself they tell i'm skillful and handy comparing my level with yours i'm just a joke. You are amazing, well done!!! Subd
I must say, I just discovered your channel. I am so impressed. Your creativity is a gift. As a creative person myself I admire your attention to detail. I really love this project and I'm so impressed by how you solved some problems that others did not have adequate solutions to. I look forward to seeing more videos from you as I continue to build my own channel and workshop! Bravo 👏
The most fancy drill press table i have seen on RUclips. Everything is so well thought off. One thing i didnt get was how the 2 fences stay aligned when connected. Thanks
Excellent how-to video. Couple reasons. Showing us all the features up front is exactly the right thing to do. Brisk presentation with lots of consumable details. And a useful, thought-out design. One thing though: I'm not a big fan of music backgrounds. I get that people feel they need to do this, but I don't agree.
I want to congratulate you! You did an awesome job on your tabletop. I'm pretty old school, so my drill press top is really basic. But yours is a piece of art. You should be proud cause really, you made me want to remake my drill press top. Congratz
that is one of the best drill press tables that i have seen made. it is so great i think i am going to have to build one. and it is so perfect i cant thank of anything to add to make it better lol .the front crank is my favorite part. I am always banging my knuckles or cant get to it. thanks for the ideas
I enjoyed this. I made a drill table some years ago that works quit well but I saw you moved the crank to the front. This is going on my list of ToDo's! Nice Job!
1st timer and WOW! Beautiful work (not sure about using black on t-track tho) and the both look and feel must be right to have a finished job in my humble opinion. You’re desire for the ‘just right) is admirable and others need to take note and stop the “oh it’s ok for work or in shop” we are part of that viewing group and never treat us a throwaway!! Beautiful work, beautiful video, beautiful editing………….just those black t-tracks jumping out at me lol Bob England
I think this is the first time I've watched one of your videos... first I really like this one, second DUDE!!! You've got some AWESOME tools!!!! I'm sure it's taken a while to get everything, but it's nice to see someone showing all of these different tools for very specific purposes vs "let me make this with a hand saw so anyone can make this". I like those too, but seeing all of this stuff is effing cool. Please keep it up! -Happy new subscriber :)
Looks great. One idea for Drilltable or Fence MK2. When i made my Drilltable I decided to keep the fence low. Because sometimes you will use small Drillbits too. It´s bad when the drill chuck touches the fence.
I liked not only the project but the way it was presented. Many if not most RUclips’rs have trouble integrating a music track along with dialog. The music is either tedious or downright annoying. Yours is perfectly done. Keep up the good work.
@GetHandsDirty I love that you show your mistakes. It's only human to make mistakes, even if it's a silly mistake. Oh, and I do like those concealed hinges. Great project 👍 👌 👏 🙌 😀
Excellent. Enjoyed all of the many many steps. Fun colors with the Valcromat stuff. I know it’s available in US but it is prohibitively expensive. When you turned on dust collection it reminded me of when I first turned my new collector on and sucked up all the paperwork off my workbench. Gone in a blink.
Just found your channel - I like seeing how individuals make use of small shop space. I think for sacrificial centre on my own table I'll just use a 3D printed piece as it's the easiest way for me to produce circles that fit. PLA is recyclable.
I'm just setting up my shop, I was just given a floor standing drill press and will be copying a lot of your ideas. My Katz-Moses router plane is suppose to arrive today too! Great build :)
Your equipment and tools are some of the best in the world when it comes to wood, and if I wanted to design a wooden space station I would have to ask you
This has to be the best 30 minute woodworking video I have ever watched.

That means you haven't seen a lot of things.

Your ability to identify a need, create elegant solutions and build them with extreme skill and care was a pleasure to watch.

Your craftsmanship is absolutely next level! Someone to aspire to you are!
As a long term subscriber, and a commercial carpenter myself in hospitality sector, every time I just can not stop to admire you and your projects! Keep moving forward!👍👍👍
Thank you Sergio!!
That is a work of art, one of the best drill press fences that I've seen. 10/10.
Best Drill press table I have ever seen!! Very well done.
Most excellent. I've watched hundreds of drill press table builds and yours by far the best.
I love your attention to detail. You must spend a lot of time checking out all the smaller components. Then you build it with a sense of style. Great job!
Thank you very much!
@@GetHandsDirty - except for that ONE hole. ;)
(the rest is awesome - mass motivation to do something like that on mine!)

I agree. The ethical way is the best way for everybody.😊

Brilliant and beautiful. I love it when the pragmatic become art in the making.
“Beautiful work as usual! Love the Synthwave at the end!”
Best looking and best functioning drill press table I have ever seen! Bravo!
Thank you very much :)
BOOM! A great project. I love how your shop projects look as good as they function.
Great video. Clear visuals, concise narration, and perhaps best of all the background music was not annoying!

This is definitely one of the best and most thought out designs I've seen. Well done.
Wow, thanks!
The off-centre replaceable insert is genious!
I will never own a drill press in my life, but I'm looking forward to watching this video. For me, it's all about the designing process and Cris' sense of aesthetics.

i visited Porto because of this channel. it was a tremendous time.
Dear Cristiana, just a lot of compliments for all the details and attentions to evrz step on this project!
This was a very nice project and video coverage was great. I have to praise you too, for the use of interstitial music. I like a little music, but not when someone is talking. Also, I hate it when the music is so loud that I have to yank off my headphones. You got everything perfect on this one!

Very nice result to all your efforts!
Your end results are amazing. I don';t know how you make it look so easy. Very nice once again.
Your skill level is undeniable!
perfect timing ... i have been thinking of upgrading my drill press , this is now my inspiration to action
I just built my DP table last week. I wish I waited to see yours. Really nice. Thanks for your videos!
Just found your channel! LOVE IT. I am just starting to get into woodworking as a hobby because I am retired military and tired of just walking around in circles LOL!! Love the attention to detail
Great great great. You did absolutely fantastic job. And it look very nice. I like the color too.
Nice thunder break! It is storming here too, but nighttime lightning is more awe inspiring!
I admire your material & color selection at the same time the way you making details in the furniture 👏
Thank you so much 😊
You are a perfectionist to the max and I love it. That is the most aesthetically pleasing Drill Press Table I've ever seen and I've researched many. Great job! Also, your video production is killer! 👌👌

Absolutely great idea it turned out amazing great job.

I look forward to seeing more videos from you as I continue to build my own channel and workshop! Bravo 👏
Excellent design and execution. I enjoy watching you put your skills to use.
Incredible how you worked out where the crank handle would be positioned!
Such a great solution-I love that you gathered ideas and inspiration from other sources 👍
The most fancy drill press table i have seen on RUclips. Everything is so well thought off. One thing i didnt get was how the 2 fences stay aligned when connected. Thanks
Amazing job, just that! No more words needed! 👏👏👏👏
Wow! Super cool! 🤩🤩🤩 You're so creative! ❤
Now that’s what a call a drill press table!! You should patent it.
A ton of cool features here, and more red Valchromat! Really well thought out and executed design here. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent how-to video. Couple reasons. Showing us all the features up front is exactly the right thing to do. Brisk presentation with lots of consumable details. And a useful, thought-out design.

I've been missing the Boooom! Love it.
That is the most awesome drill press table I have ever seen!! Good detail in explaining how other can build it as well : )
Return of the BOOM! Very cool build...

Yay! Love to hear that! Hope you grab more inspiration from my other videos 😄
I already am... 😊
That thunder and rain sounded really relaxing.
Clever setup with beautiful looks, well done.
I'd add magnets on the insides of the split fence to make it easier to align/move as one piece.
Nice job....I think I'm going to "borrow" a lot of the ideas you used on this when I rebuild my drill-press and table.
Genius solution to an age old problem without breaking the bank. I hope you patented it as it has great commercial interest.
Looks great.
One idea for Drilltable or Fence MK2.
When i made my Drilltable I decided to keep the fence low.
Because sometimes you will use small Drillbits too.
It´s bad when the drill chuck touches the fence.
That’s a great build. Your attention to detail is awesome. Glad I came across your channel today.👍🏼
Wow, excellent project - well executed. I am going to borrow your magnet idea with cleats for my drill press table.
I liked not only the project but the way it was presented. Many if not most RUclips’rs have trouble integrating a music track along with dialog. The music is either tedious or downright annoying. Yours is perfectly done. Keep up the good work.
Yay! Thank you so much!! I love getting feedback about all these things. :)
You have what it takes to be a good woodworker. Great job.
Loved your project, and most of all, the tools you used.
Awesome project, really took the drill press to the next level!
@GetHandsDirty
I love that you show your mistakes. It's only human to make mistakes, even if it's a silly mistake.
Oh, and I do like those concealed hinges. Great project 👍 👌 👏 🙌 😀
You never disappoint! Once again you've created something useful and practical that also is beautiful!
This was really impressive! Also, the optional colored MDF now seems mandatory! I like it!
very cool project! keep on rocking! br from Tirol/Austria
Excellent. Enjoyed all of the many many steps. Fun colors with the Valcromat stuff. I know it’s available in US but it is prohibitively expensive.
When you turned on dust collection it reminded me of when I first turned my new collector on and sucked up all the paperwork off my workbench. Gone in a blink.
Nicely planned and well executed.

I'm a first time viewer, and i'm already a subscriber. I have a new favorite channel. Time for some binge watching!!😃😃😃😃
Yaaay!! Welcome 😁
I love the flexibility and style of this. It’s fantastic. Might be worth adding some grease to the bushings and bevel gears, if you haven’t already.
Thanks James! I did put a bit of grease in the miter gears :)
WOW!!! Just Wow!!
That is outstanding. I also love that you left your small 'error' in there, giving hope to us mere mortals.😊 Also, red...nothing bad ever came in red.
Ahaha thanks Danny :)
WOW! What an amazing upgrade to your drill press! I am in awe of the work you do. Thank you for sharing. Cheers!
Glad you like it! :)
Awesome film. Extra Fancy table. Well designed, engineered and fabricated. Mahalo for sharing! ❤😊🙏🐒
Your equipment and tools are some of the best in the world when it comes to wood, and if I wanted to design a wooden space station I would have to ask you
Awesome concept of the magnets to secure the wood top to the cast iron sub base.
Very nice build with great ideas to make drill press much more user friendly and safer. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome well done 👍 ❤
