Its a beauty. Very Clever using that circular saw. Also that blue paint against that tan paint looks fantastic. You are the man when it comes to making wooden power tools. wow.
I think you should have done a melamine top as it would have held up to abuse a little better and made the surface nice and slick. It would have also required much less finishing time. I mean from an average joe perspective it's a much better option...the mdf I mean as it allows anybody to have access to the materials you used for the build. Great job as always. I understand this saw is temporary, but do you foresee any of your joints failing on this saw in future projects that may require hefty materials?
This is so much better than the first table saw my Dad made for me. It was a 3/4” piece of plywood with a circular saw mounted upside down. The homemade miter gage ran along the edge. The fence was clamped to the table. The case was a milk crate. I used it for two years until I could afford a bench top saw. I went through two bench top saws in eight years and purchased a contractors saw. That is still going 20 years later. So is the original circular saw from 30 years ago! Thanks for reminding me of my Dad. 😊
Excellent video and build. I have a Shopsmith since I did not have much space, but now that I will, I think I will build one for my shop! It never hurts to have more than one table saw! Thanks.
He briefly mentioned that he has already ordered the parts for his permanent table saw, so this *new* one is a temp saw until he gets all the parts to start on the final one.
I really like that one as well. Only his one is much more complex to build than John's saw right now. But given the added complexity, it sure comes with some features that Johns saw doesn't have like a tilt mechanism and a raising and lowering mechanism. But as John already pointed out, this saw is only temporary to build his big table saw which will surely have al those things as well.
You could also drill 3 holes next to each other in the center of the hinge plate and clean up with a file. You would need to counter sink the slot with a file. Then si k a screw in the middle and start adjusting. Once it's straight and flush, sink in the standard 3 holes with counter sink screws.
Agreed. I have a feeling that John's permanent table saw is going to make my planned purchase (Grizzly G0833P) look like an expensive investment. Oh well. Money or time: the most common trade-off.
Alan R - I am holding off on buying a new saw personally. Stopsaw's pattent will expire in about 3 years. I think that the teck will be in every saw as soon as the pattent expires. Maybe even before then.
i agree as well, but an "entry-level" woodworker most likely wouldn't be able to build it. it's not just time you need, but experience and expertise (and tools).
@4:07 I totally agree. I have a table saw, but I'm, unhappy with how short the table is for in-feed and out-feed, as well as the cut width isn't big at all. I like this design quite a bit. Thank you for this video, definitely inspires me to rebuild my saw to be more useful for me.
I came here after seeing your newer one. Now this one I think I can have a go at. I don't think I'll live long enough to get enough skill to try the other one! This one is a great tool, the newer one is a work of art.
I’m so jealous of all your little shelves and drawers for keeping things organized, especially so since you can pull out the entire little cubby to bring the screws and things with you. My workshop is in a garage and it was my grandpas before me but it’s fairly disorganized and there’s so much to go through and I’m trying to replace things and organize it and etc
Great build, it really looks fantastic. My favourite part is when you dashed the hope of those who thought they might be able to educate you about of self centring drill bits! Can't wait to get to the build article.
Great work! I have a huge 4x8 foot table saw/router table/saber saw table consisting only of a sheet of 3/4" Baltic plywood. Made it years ago, works great. I hang it on my garage wall and lay it on saw horses to use it. I have a 4 way switched outlet on mine. If mine can produce quality cabinets and drawers, I KNOW yours can. Some day mine will give me a hernia setting it up, I like yours much better.
John this is simply brilliant. I have a small Dewalt job-site table saw for my hobby shop, and I've been looking at ways to make it a bit more practical for my use. It has plenty of power for my needs, I could use more surface area on the top with a better fence and miter slots. I'm going to look into adapting this build, and instead using the motor/blade from my job-site saw instead of a skill saw.
I just bought the plans...quite a deal since he included the fence system as well which I was already looking at building. Ultimately, I still need mine to be mobile so I'll have to make some modifications, but that's no big deal. I also plan to build a router lift into mine on the right side, so I think I'll end up building an additional fence with dust collection for that part.
Thanks John. Had to buy your plans after watching the video. I already do have a commercial table saw but I've never been happy with the saw alignment and dust issues in my shed. Aluminium frame for the saw seems too weak to hold the position even after it was properly aligned after much effort. I particularly like the hinged approach for adjusting the depth of cut and getting to the saw itself. This seems like simplicity itself, rather than a complicated build around the saw then the handle to raise and lower it from without. The other thing I was rather taken with, was using el cheapo chipboard for the base components - I just happen to have plenty looking at the garbage bin for their new home - until now. Look forward to having a go at it.
Is there any particular reason you've used particle board, chipboard here in the UK, rather than your usual plywood? I suppose I'm mainly curious because I find particle board to be a bit of a pig when it comes to taking screws securely.
I love the effect of staining the particle boards. Had to read the article to figure out if you had bought coloured particle boards or done something yourself. It looks great.
At first glance I thought the top was that recycled plastic material I see some outdoor furniture made from. It looks really good with that blue finish on it. Sweet build John!
I have 16 sheets of particle board that I was very close to selling.. I never knew it could look so good. Think I'll give this saw a craic.. Good man John 👍
Nothing better to start the day ( after a long night Shift) then a video from my favorite yt creator ! Again a superb article and eyecandy video. Nice work John
I built a temporary table saw 2 years ago from battery powered saw I made it work on battery or wall power. not much cut depth but its used for sheet goods works for what i intended on using it for
Best approach ever to the electrical wiring. if you know what you're doing you're going to bitch that it's wrong for your region and if you don't know what you doing you shouldn't be doing it anyway... Love it
fantastic build, i did something similar but used the motor unit from a contractor saw - the thing is awesome and the quality of cuts far exceeds the original saw. i love your diy approach to outfitting your shop. look forward to more videos
I'm curious if you can put a dado blade into this type of saw? One of the projects I'm looking at using the table saw for is to make some dado cut fence boards to hold cattle panel fences so think 1/4" dado the length of a 2x6 and I'm not sure if I should use a circular saw or a cheap table saw and build a similar top and cabinet for it. Or? Some other solution.
I haven’t seen one or any of your videos in a long while. Life has been busy. It was extremely satisfying watching this one because when I was current on your videos I was excited for this one to come out.

Hey John, its looking really good! Is this now the real table saw? If so do you plan to adjust the build with an angle setting?
I think you should have done a melamine top as it would have held up to abuse a little better and made the surface nice and slick. It would have also required much less finishing time. I mean from an average joe perspective it's a much better option...the mdf I mean as it allows anybody to have access to the materials you used for the build. Great job as always.

That is a good looking saw John. Excellent work as usual.

The blue stained top has a cool textured look
even though this is a temp table saw this is still one of the best table saw builds i have seen on youtube cant wait for the big table saw build,
I don't think this is a temp anymore. The old one was.
He briefly mentioned that he has already ordered the parts for his permanent table saw, so this *new* one is a temp saw until he gets all the parts to start on the final one.
Have you seen Cosmas Bauers table saw build? You should check it out, and his channel in general.
I really like that one as well. Only his one is much more complex to build than John's saw right now. But given the added complexity, it sure comes with some features that Johns saw doesn't have like a tilt mechanism and a raising and lowering mechanism. But as John already pointed out, this saw is only temporary to build his big table saw which will surely have al those things as well.
it's table saws all the way down!
the blue top finish sets it apart and gives it a really classy look...excellent build
For the hinges alignment you could use CA glue, put the top in place with a perfect fit then open and add screws. Just a thought.
You could also drill 3 holes next to each other in the center of the hinge plate and clean up with a file. You would need to counter sink the slot with a file. Then si k a screw in the middle and start adjusting. Once it's straight and flush, sink in the standard 3 holes with counter sink screws.
This thing is better than a vast majority of entry-level table saws. I can't wait to see you build the "real" one.
Agreed.
I have a feeling that John's permanent table saw is going to make my planned purchase (Grizzly G0833P) look like an expensive investment.
Oh well.

Love your Sunday video, it's our gift for the week :) Thanks John. Very nice built.
Two gifts if you read the build article, there is a bonus video there.

I have the same saw and the same idea!

I also plan to build a router lift into mine on the right side, so I think I'll end up building an additional fence with dust collection for that part.
That's a kick-ass saw John. Looking forward for future videos with this bad boy!

It's so simple in execution but the result looks like a quality cabinet saw. If the real deal trumps this then I'm very excited to watch it unfold.
Really very nice one to make.I was all along waiting for such a circular table saw make. Thanks for the post.
You make it all seem so easy.
I'd say you knocked this one out of the ballpark John. Great video.
Sir... You are tempting me!!! Really nice job!
WOW....thats one hell of a build.....WOW.
Selalu hadir... Salam dari indonesia,,,selalu berkarya yg luar biasa 🙏
VERY well done John! !! !!!
Very simple, no frills design. Great job John!
Nothing short of super awesome
Very cool design and build ty John.
Brilliant John. Well Done.
Looks like a great saw! Low on dust enclosed like that much better than my jobsite ridgid one
The David Attenborough of the woodworking world :) Great build !
Nice one sir plz keep it up
Advance congratulations for 1M
Nice work. I like that blue particle board. Actually it gives me an idea...
Oh, you don't need any ideas from me - you have already too many of your own :D
Is there any particular reason you've used particle board, chipboard here in the UK, rather than your usual plywood? I suppose I'm mainly curious because I find particle board to be a bit of a pig when it comes to taking screws securely.
Why not just buy a tablesaw?
Paint it green?
@@davidl8425 he made his own f clamps and most of the tools are diy ,,why should he not make it
Well done, John. Keep it up.
Thanks - will buy the plans and build it. And the Fence.
Wow. This rocks. I don’t know if I will ever get around to building it, but I intend to buy the plans in support of this great content!
great work John !
Excellent job John!
Another awesome video John. Great job editing.
Nicely done John! Looks like the perfect solution for a small shop............. :)
Fantastic video. Very well explained. Thank you
Very cool!! Keep up the sweet vids. I will be purchasing the fence plans once I get my work bench built.
Man you just rock ! And for the accuracy, you ve already said it : it will be as accurate as you want it / make it to be.
Very cool build and Van Halen rules!
Good work. Thanks for this clear/instructive video.
I love the effect of staining the particle boards. Had to read the article to figure out if you had bought coloured particle boards or done something yourself. It looks great.
Muy buen trabajo felicitaciones que Dios te bendiga mi hermano
Good video. Great project.going to get the plans. Just ease up on the get the plans banner
I love people who make there own things, specialy you an april are my favorites
That's the best video and the best table saw design that I've seen. Well done. Thank you and I hope you are compensated handsomely for this work.
Nice job Senor John...!
At first glance I thought the top was that recycled plastic material I see some outdoor furniture made from. It looks really good with that blue finish on it. Sweet build John!
Nice saw John.
Just bought plans. Very well done!
excellent build
nice great work John
Excellent build, John!
I have 16 sheets of particle board that I was very close to selling.. I never knew it could look so good. Think I'll give this saw a craic.. Good man John 👍
Ein tolles Projekt das Freude macht und Spass macht beim Arbeiten 🙄👍👍👍👍👍
Well done ..... Dimention will help us as pension without wood experiences ... Thanks a lot
Thanks, plans are crazy cheap!
You have out done your self with this build.
Now I want to see what your final table saw will be like.
Thank you for sharing
Nothing better to start the day ( after a long night Shift) then a video from my favorite yt creator ! Again a superb article and eyecandy video. Nice work John
Great build homemade tools are awesome.
I agree with your assessment. That is an incredibly slick table saw. Extremely well done!
Nice build.
That is quite a gift you have.
Like your way of building. Thank you for sharing.
Very nice build, John!
Applying the polyurethane to the parts as you go along DOES make sense! Really like the finish on the top as well.
fa-vo-lo-so, bravo john un saluto from Italy
What a neat build! Wish I had a garage/workshop to put this in
Thanks for sharing. What a fabulous project.
Really nice John.
An awesome table saw .
I built a temporary table saw 2 years ago from battery powered saw I made it work on battery or wall power. not much cut depth but its used for sheet goods works for what i intended on using it for
It's here! The table saw is finally here!
Very nice work looks good
very talented guy
Great video mate.
Pak jhon, saya mau tanya apakah. Set table saw ini dapat dibeli, bagaimana cara membelinya, teruma kasih? "
Thats awesome john. Thanks
Nice video John!
Best approach ever to the electrical wiring. if you know what you're doing you're going to bitch that it's wrong for your region and if you don't know what you doing you shouldn't be doing it anyway... Love it
Just bought your plans,can't wait to build it .Keep up the great work John.
Awesome bulid ! Thx for sharing john !
I thought you'd given up on the table saw build, glad to see you decided to build it.
I am from malaysia.. i really like it so much.. 👍👍👍
fantastic build, i did something similar but used the motor unit from a contractor saw - the thing is awesome and the quality of cuts far exceeds the original saw. i love your diy approach to outfitting your shop. look forward to more videos
this is what I would like to do- how has it worked for you for the last 4 years since you posted this?
Great build video John! Top notch! Thank you
I love this. I so want to build one but have nowhere to put it.
WoW ! Beautiful
well done,a cabinet grade table saw for a fraction of the cost,great design
Cool build John!
