Great idea. Good execution. I won't be watching more of your videos because of the continual product promotion and way too exposition. That's not actually a complaint. You seem to have a healthy following and there is an audience for the detailed instructions. Just not for me.
Hotdog - great ideas! And I’ve been woodworking for over 55 years. Made my first chest of drawers with a circular saw and a homemade sawhorse for a workbench. Keep it up! Great help to those getting started!
I would like to recommend you make sure the grill on the router (where it sucks in air to cool the electric motor) does not get clogged with dust. One easy way to do this is to use a large diameter hose and clamp it over the router's business end. That way you can let the dust collect and swirl around in the box underneath knowing the router can get fresh and cooler air to get cooled down. You can use pvc pipe and heat the end to make an adapter that fit the router if the hose sizes do not work out well... In your case (since the router is close to the bottom of your dust collection box (DCB) you could simply use a slightly over size pipe and mount it in the bottom so it loosely encloses the router and prevent the majority of the dust from getting to that grill. You may need do some messing with the router itself (electronically) since the speed control can not be reached if the dust shield pipe is in place. You could opt to remove the speed control from the router and wire it in a plastic box on the outside, say the outside of the DCB. I assume the router in the table is there to live there for the rest of its days...
Loving these builds, I’m only up to the dust collection box and thought I would post, if you mad the box a bit deeper and placed the vacuum hose at the bottom, instead of at the back, the sawdust would automatically fall that way and it would more likely collect more of the dust without there being a build up.
Hotdog! Some great builds and tips in this video thank you, I appreciate videos like this. I'm just getting back into woodworking and only have a 10x12 workshop that I will be expanding with an additional 300sqft in the next few weeks and will be recalibrating my shop for efficiency, can't wait!
Man that burn waterfall table is fabulous. This is my first time seeing you. Wow. I hope I can some day get at least half as good as you. Keep up the good work. Ray
Hot Dog!! The only tools I use are Ryobi! I have been using them for 15+ years and have never had an issue with any of them! I do have one Dewalt corded random orbital sander only because I got it at an estate sale for 5 dollars! Your views on projects are the way I like it! I don't care too much what it looks like just as long as it works!
Took me 3 separate attempts to finish video in its entirety!! You guys put a lot into making these videos, the least I can do is watch it all. Nice trip down memory lane Bud. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
Hotdog lol. Thank you for this. I lost everything, tools and all, in the divorce. Starting over without all the extras is much easier with your method of teaching that assumes we are starting with nothing. Thank you
HOTDOG:) great video. Watching with my sweetie explaining what you are doing and answering questions. He’s watching my Christmas ideas😹😹 love the video! Great job! Keep it up. Just found your channel and subscribed!
All GREAT projects Eric. Only two gripes; 1. How do you pre-drill? Would that be grabbing the drill and bits?? 2. I didn't hear anything about cleaning up the leavings in the parking lot? Small thing but we all have to do our part. Keep the vids coming! !! !!!
Had that same exact issue with my Ryobi router. Did the same swap out too. And then I went and bought a Dewalt and shelved the Ryobi. I have a lot of Ryobi tools, they're great. The router just couldn't hold up. Great video, thanks for the plans and ideas!
Hotttdog! I'm a bit behind in becoming a talented wood worker, but your videos are helping me catch up and get up to optimal orbittal speed 😂 thank you for neing an excellent mentor and very relevant content creator.😊
And yet, I’m super jealous of his “less shop space” because my “shop” is a 4x8 concrete pad in my backyard and my carpeted living room, lol. You work with what you have available
Hotdogs. I just looked up the big pocket hole station, wooser - $400. I have a total of 3 Craig brand styles, I think i need this too. Jonesy Nw Arizona
Hot Dog! What about building a butter fly table top. Thinking about doing this for a table in our kitchen. Now it's just the two of us, but we have great friends that stop by. With the table extensions hidden under the table it would be a quick way to expand when we play cards, games, or just come together to break bread and give thanks for great friends!!
Hey. I know you like your SawStop table saw but you should look into putting an "INCRA" TS LS Combo 4 with the Wonder fence Joinery package upgrade on it. You'll then have the most accurate and reproducible guides and setup out there. I did it to my older Rigid TS3650 saw. Love your videos. Keep it up great work!
Making all those hole layout marks and the subsequent drilling looks so tedious. :) When I made a vacuum table for my hobby CNC I used the CNC to drill the holes. If I take the CNC's table out I can just put the CNC on top of whatever I'm working on. It's a great project. I'm going to build one too. Thank you for making these videos.
As I watched this, my Amazon wishlist grew and grew and grew. I never even knew those Krieg cupboard jigs existed and now I want them. I don't need them right now, but....
Another "tool" you should get if you're going to be working on the floor - a garden mat or yoga mat! Save your knees. Mats are usually cheaper than kneepads, more comfortable, and can be used for many things. Or high density grey foam from computer/appliance packing. Or even the pieces of "pink foam" you use to back the wood to cut.
Hot Dog! I find it easy when trying to duplicate a length on the miter saw to line them up as you did (at 1:26:28), (by feel at the far edge) and then bring the blade down and slide both over until the already-cut one touches the blade of the saw, and then make the cut. No inaccuracy due to thickness of the pencil line, and less work. Just a thought. My wife loves listening to your funny comments as she makes my breakfast. Thanks for this video.
Hotdog; made a small donation for the plans, but not sure when or which ones I will actually build 🙃 I am pretty sure the Ridgid table saw base will be one as well as a modified version of your mobile workbench & drawers
I love my ryobi tools. Yes I don’t use them everyday but they have the largest battery power tool line. So you can use the same battery for variety of tools. Ryobi is my choice
to cut the Clamp rack easily add to yhe sucraficial fence in the with of your blade, that will give you positive stops and auto align for the other slots. you just put the cut you made on the spacer
Dust collection box: if you've got excess suction and are intentionally introducing a gap for air to come in, just drill holes where the buildup is happening. They don't have to be big, as the dust 100% won't settle over the hole that's basically an air blower.
My thought for the clamp holder is to drill holes at the back side of the cutout and then you only make two cuts on the table saw to hog out the waste.
I have a question regarding the dust collection box for your router table. The router motor obviously has a cooling system built in that pulls air from the ambient and forces it through the motor to cool the windings and stator. It would seem to me that placing the entire router within the dust collection box would place much more dust within the router cooling air stream. I would think it would plug up the cooling passages faster/more frequently, eventually damaging the router or at best, shortening the life of the motor. What are your thoughts?
I've got a primarily Ryobi garage shop and I haven't run into any show stopping issues. As tools die I'll likely replace them with higher quality ones but that's sort of built-in insurance as the ones that give up the ghost are likely the ones I use the most. Anything that stays Ryobi for a lifetime is a tool I didn't use enough to kill and buying a fancier one would have been a waste.
Just downloaded one of your plans. I received a pdf and an skp file. Do I need to download sketchup software or are the files the same info just in different format? Thanks for all your terrific work. It's inspiring for this retired wannabe woodworker.
I'm not particularly a fan of Ryobi, but the best tool is the one that allows you to complete your task. If you were able to abuse a $50 router for three years before needing to replace it, then it did its job. Though I suspect that when this one dies, you'll probably be upgrading.
For me I might have cut it in half (or thirds depending on size) and used a CNC machine and then dowel it back together since it would be locked into other rigid pieces. - Clamp Rack
project idea: a mobile scrap storage cart with a way to keep the boards and sheet goods from bowing. everything in my garage has a bow from leaning up against the wall. it’s bad for the material and it looks like an episode of hoarders for termites.
Hot dog. Thank you for all the videos you make, I love them, and also, thank you so much for putting your ideas/plans up for free. You're going to help me and everyone else easier to make projects. Keep up the good work mate.
Knockwurst.. ( much better than a hot dog) I have the job site (delta) table saw that I bought 30 years ago when I was young, healthy and building houses. it is in fairly rough condition, but I can't afford to replace it. I clamp a straight edge as the fence, and have to use pliers to raise and lower the blade. but it works. 27 years ago my house burned down, so I lost 95% of my tools. and over the years, replacing them with a VA pension has made it so a lot of my tools are Harbor Freight cheapies. I have still put out some pretty nice pieces over the years. for my grandson's birthday last year I made him a corn hole set, that had folding legs, and stainless draw catches, with a handle on one side of one of the box frames to make it close up like an oversized suitcase with the bean bags, as well as a ladder ball set I also made him, and the balls for that in a portable game kit for picnics etc.
15:53 drill holes at the end of the slots then cut them at the table saw. No need for the slots to be square at the end, and that will save you from having to hog out all that material with the table saw.
As @@matthewkelly1717 I was wondering why Eric didn't do it. Sometimes the most obvious solution is staring you in the face, but you cannot see it. Overall, I love the video... Thanks
I inherited an old Rockwell 10" right tilt table saw that has a very large right hand extension table. I have considered installing a router on the far end of the table. My problem is 1) I dont have bits yet for my new Skil router and 2) I cant find an insert that fits said router. I'm sure I'll come u with something.
The advantage to more tools is not just speed and accuracy, it is higher cost versus the amount of labor you need to put out and the chance of damaging wood that you need to replace if you drill or cut wrong. The ability to make a box that will hold a router under your table if you are willing to spend the money for the parts to hold the router you will need to buy. Oh, and not to mention where do you put the tools you have for fixing cars and where do you store everything that has nothing to do with the stuff you made that doesn't have a place anywhere else that you don't have any other place to put.

I enjoy the transparency of your mistakes in your videos along with the great ideas and step by step instructions. Thank you for sharing.
Saved this one in my favs! Building a new shop and I'll likely use several!
HotDog!!! I love the way you sorta " dumb it down" for people like me!!! You are a great teacher for beginner woodworkers!! Thank you

Keeping in some of the mistakes and challenges to overcome is very helpful for a beginner like myself.
I would like to recommend you make sure the grill on the router (where it sucks in air to cool the electric motor) does not get clogged with dust.

That way you can let the dust collect and swirl around in the box underneath knowing the router can get fresh and cooler air to get cooled down.

You may need do some messing with the router itself (electronically) since the speed control can not be reached if the dust shield pipe is in place. You could opt to remove the speed control from the router and wire it in a plastic box on the outside, say the outside of the DCB.

While that's true, he would have had to put more effort into ensuring that the hose doesn't slide off in use.

You're right. He doesn't waste one square inch of the available space.
He has mas grande huevos, for sure. I like watching his film, no pretense.

Him and Scott Walsh both. Amazing what they do in that shop space. Mine is about the same, and I can hardly walk though it. I need to organize better.

For dust collection on the router box, put some holes or a slit in the bottom for air to drag the dust towards the inlet of the vac

Ryobi tools are a great value. Place i work has about 50 of the drills. Used all day.
For your clamp rack I would make a router template for one groove ( using a bearing bit)
and a Key so you can move it over evenly each time.

How's the move going, Eric? Looking forward to the 'new house / shop' project videos!
Fun to see where Spencley came from before Festool and Woodpeckers took over the shop. Although I really like where he is now too.
Do you have to use Kreg screws when using their pocket hole jig or is there a more cost efficient alternative?
Finger joint jig kind of thing for the repetitive cutting on the clamp rack seems like it would work.
to cut the Clamp rack easily add to yhe sucraficial fence in the with of your blade, that will give you positive stops and auto align for the other slots.
you just put the cut you made on the spacer
Ryobi isnt bad, I have my main frequently used dewalt tools but my one off less frequently used tools as ryobi.
