Squirly Shed
I've been using something almost exactly (4' x 8') like that for the last 20 years (but without the wheels). However, as my tool collection has grown, I've run out of room and now need to rip this workbench down. The wheels are a super sweet idea. I LOVE the wheels on yours! Now, I think I'm making two smaller tables, one stationary and one with wheels. I'll keep the two together, but pull the one on wheels out when I need that 8' run. I've got a lot to think about on a Sunday morning...with the football kickoff clock rolling. Thanx guys!
Love this video!! What whould also be cool is 3 levels of tools. I know its about skill but tools do help. Would love to see something like thag
Very new woodworker here and was excited to see your design looked very similar to what I built this summer. My jaw dropped when you had the same reaction I did with the 49x97 for the MDF and I had to stop the video when you stepped on the sheet to fit it in place and broke the corner in the exact same place mine did when I stepped on it to fit! Glad to know I’m not alone!
Yes Daniel! I am just a regular dude out here breaking stuff! hahah
Build ideas:
- tool storage/ charging station combo (update from your original video and could be a three level video).
- Mobile miter saw station
- man cave shed or a shed large enough to swing a golf club in!
- floating shelves
- dining room table
- night stand
- end table for the end of a couch where the top incorporates a sheet of 12x12 mosaic tile
I loved this! The basic tool series will be awesome. I’d like to see more shop builds this way since I’m just setting up a new garage. Miter station, router table, etc. a kitchen table with basic tools and maybe even a 3 levels of kitchen table and chairs build with basic tools would be cool. I know in the podcasts you said the crazy epoxy builds perform better, but I like to see these instructional and shop build videos more myself
Thanks austin!
@@John_Malecki 😌😌😌😌😌
Suggestion: how about a foldable version of this workbench that can fold flat onto the wall for garage workshops?
As I was watching I was trying to think of a way to do just that. Would be great for smaller shops .
You wouldn’t have the lower shelf, but attach the legs with carriage bolts. I just did this to mine not long ago. There are a few good plans for it and videos if you do a search.
John I've used those casters on a couple of shop carts. You'll want to re-drill the mounting holes for 1/4" bolts and bolt through. The screws will pull out with that much weight regardless of what the packaging says. Otherwise they've worked great for a couple of years.
Hey John. It would be cool to see you make a sled for that Dewalt table saw
it would be even cooler if you made a sled, for the snow
@@travischristensen746 or a sled to deliver presents for christmas
I'm an avid maker and just moved as well and was looking to build something exactly like this. Buying the plans so I can knock it out with ease. Thanks John and Team!
Good content, fun presentation but the camera work is making me nauseated.
i had to skip video only to the important parts....
This is a fantastic vid. This is a close copy to the most useful thing I have in my shop. Mines 4x6 and doubles as an outfeed table for my table saw. I will say mine's not as fancy but I get it from a video making perspective. For those who don't have a helper, 1/2 " plywood weighs a hell of a lot less than the particle board and is back to being affordable. The hardest thing for me to get used to is that this isn't a work table you worry about, you just replace pieces. I cut, paint, epoxy, feed animals, store crap, and once I took a nap on it. Thanks again for the content.
Maybe a French cleet wall system depending on what you are doing in your shop for wall storage
Do a epoxy Coffee table with just the basic tools! I believe a lot of your watchers including myself are interested in making epoxy tables, but don’t want to drop a bunch of money on planners, CNC machines, and bandsaw‘s etc.
Love watching your videos by the way! Keep up the good work!
Hey John I love the videos by the way I'm 14 and I'm learning a lot from you
I just finished building this exact table... Topped it with black melamine. Do a video doing add-ons to the table!
1st off, if you already havent. Im going to need a Squiggles, Never Swirls by John on a shirt!
2ndly, lets be honest. It will take the regular yin way longer than 3 hours just because we'll have to keep driving to the big box every hours because we forgot to buy something! 😄
I feel attacked. (lol)
Hey! I resemble that remark.
Should have bought closer. Takes me 3min to drive there from my house and I don't even have to get on anything other then a residential street 🤣🤣
Basic saw horses, like the ones you used in this video.
Yes!
John thanks for the preview of the new shop. And this video of course!! Name the new shop "The Squirrelly Nest"
Finally I can say I've made a somewhat more advanced version of something on this channel. lol
I made my own "t-track" using steel strips and so the whole thing is capable of being a part of various different jigs I'm making. So far the router sled jig has been fantastic.
Though my caster system is more off the shelf, unfortunately..
Are there pictures of your build anywhere?
Malecki Makes, as the new shop name! Malecki Makes Squirrely, Malecki Makes Awesome, Malecki Makes Everything Better!
Hey John, Building shelving in your new shop by using this method would be great and fairly simple.
A simple 2x4 bench was the first thing I ever built and its the reason my wife let me buy a table saw. I made it with a circular saw and some screws. Highly recommend.
Would love to see you make a custom Steelers pool table...maybe a random #62 easter egg in it...
Quick tip on combining boards if they’re not joined: Crown them the opposite way when gluing or screwing together That’s what framers do(or are supposed to do) when building headers on a house. That way the crowns of the boards are fighting each other and it becomes super stable.
i built quite the exact same bench for myself but i used cheaper material. Wooden stick used for roof. So i ended up adding a fifth leg in the middle of the bench and it is very sturdy. Highly recommend.
Ceiling mounted storage!
Wow, your new shot is HUGE.
Nice design, simple and easy!
Nailed it
From the photography world, I keep hearing it all the time that if you can't get good photos from a cheap kit, you won't do any better with high end gear.
I believe it's the same with wood working. Big shop gear gets thing done much faster, but the know how is all on the user.
Cool serie, by the way!
You sir are inspirational, every time I see your videos it inspires me to build more things (even though I have no room for them lol) 🐿🛠 thank you my friend.
You Daniel inspire me !
Signed up for skill share, thanks.
John I keep coming back for the humor and the great builds. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your videos. I like how you talk throughout the video. You add humor and also show when you mess up to show us how to fix it if we mess up too. Thank you again! I will be using this video as a guide to build my first table.
Very nice job. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends Keep making. Stay squirrely. God bless.
I just made a table like this last week, although a little smaller (3'x7'). Used 4x4s for the corners and 2x4s for the rest. Also used pocket holes and castors. Only used drill and portable circular saw. Not that I have this table, I can get some more power tools for bigger jobs.
Atta boy Justin! Crushing it!
Cocktail station with a wine rack. 3 levels.
Firewood holder. 3 levels.
Expanding dinning table.
Just watching some of your old videos while I am supposed to be working and noticed you using the speed square for a saw guide.. I have never seen anyone do that, that is the slickest easiest idea I ever saw using a saw....Why did I not think of that?? yeah I have a miter saw, but lazy to carry out of the basement....
lol you went from if you have small shop to , we need rolling tables because our shop is this big in 30 seconds. lol just busting your chops . nice work and nice table.
I got hurt at work and had to give up my business, I did mobile boat repair for 30 yrs. so now I'm starting woodworking out of a 10x16 portable building with not much recent knowledge, I helped my uncle with woodworking as a kid and loved it so my knowledge is windmill's , with the guy sawing wood or a chicken pecking at the ground.
and then the price of wood now limits me to reclaimed pallets for something to do. you are a blessed man to have big beautiful shop like that . loved your video have a nice day.
Jordan rockin’ a THE Ohio State ball cap! O - H!
I-O!
Nerds
Easy beginner work van layout
im going through this now and its hard to efficiently organize your tools/materials
Love to see some good idea's there barely anyone making that kind of vids
Thank you, as a beginner I’ve done single width finger joints (for shelf brackets in garage) and lap joints (for a plant stand) and I’ve played with plywood end grain (for a mirror frame). This inspires me to keep going with saw skills and joinery practice. Thanks!
Sweet bench! I'm thinking about doing something similar but with hinges in each leg so it can fold/collapse! I have almost zero room in my two car garage and need a bench that can be out of the way for other projects!
Sounds like a killer idea Jake!
@@John_Malecki Thank you! P.S. new shop name could be Squirrel Farm? Thoughts? 😂
Couldn't help but notice that new powerstack battery! I'm so jealous right now
Those casters are perfect. Thanks for showing them. Dad put wheels on his big 'ol bench that I inherited, and I hate that it's 4" taller now. Gonna have to get some of those instead.
I would call the new shop "The Mega Nut"
And for other 3 tool jobs, some storage shelves, and maybe a tool board
Would love to see a project that takes a jobsite table saw and makes it a workshop one, like building it into a table
this type here is my first workbench, even the same lapjoints, instead of the mdf top, i used 2x4s and hand plane it. super sturdy, bought the same caster from amazon and its been great for the past 2 years
Love the design. I was thinking of doing something similar and glad you had a great "How to" video. I was oing to do this with Lag Bolts on the Corners and Top so I can disassemble and reassemble easily.
The sales pitch in the middle of flushes the massive potential this video had. Search continues for a good workbench video. Would have subscribed.
As soon as I heard you say "yinz" i subscribed, great video!
I can dig it
I like for a base to start off with I am thinking add a drop section for chop saw in middle of long side and drop section for table saw on a short side.
Shop looks nice. Glad to see you kept those sweet doors you made.
Best quote of the video "It'll buff out!" PMSL
I liked your bending technique with out staining Back and knees . 😹😹
What about a modification to this work bench to incorporate a shelf for the table saw? This bench would act as the outfeed table. Love the channel, love the work!
We have a lot of people asking for this, so its on the list! AJ
I batch cut all the time with a miter saw. I can get 5 1x's on there at a time or 8, 2x4s.
You left out the tool in the red hat. Yes, Jordan, I called you a tool. 😂
Just a tool playing with a bunch of power tools
You work 3 hours to create it and then you can use it for 30 years. I love it!
The middle of the long stretchers will sag over time. I built a similar bench to this as my first. The middle of mine sags, had to add a 5th and 6th leg to mitigate that.
I was thinking the same thing , might be able to double long support, 2x6 or use an engineered gluelam beam. A couple 45 corner braces could also shorten the span.
@@Belg1970 all good choices. Don’t want to be considered a troll but have to share my experience.
@@AJB326 Not at all I think we are sharing our life experiences and trying to help. I think way too many RUclips creators are getting way too touchy about comments not meant to be critical.
I would love to see a bunk bed and/or loft bed build in the future!
Squirrellyburgh or The Squirrel City for the shop name. Great idea for us guys with limited tools and space. Keep up the slightly above average content!
Thanks Lance!
Hi John and the team. I've recently discovered the channel and I'm hooked. Been binging these vids since. I love how passionate you guys are about your craft. You've inspired me to take a crack at woodworking and I'm going to start with a workbench using some techniques you've shown. Thanks for what you do and keep it up!
haven't heard "yuns" since I went through basic with a guy from PA....took me back
French cleat wall for random storage of tools and supplies. My wife is from Monroeville.....she talks funny too! :P
She sounds awesome Mark!
How about “Squirrel’s Nest.”
Malecki Nation, could be the New Shop name. I know I am late and it most likely has a name but here we are.
that new shop will be awesome.
Beautiful work. Great show! Can you make me one?
I would love to see an attempt for a gaming table or gaming accessories for tabletop games ! I thin k you guys would make an awesome table !
I seen something like this on pintrest, it had a cabinet kinda top on it with a peg board back and an overhead light. Lots of storage. Looked really nice.
You squiggle the squirt, THEN swirl with YOUR wood. That prevents pulling out.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Would thoroughly enjoy watching you men do a Farmhouse Trestle table using mortise & tenon, doweling and joinery. Yes, I know it may have already been done by 9 million other youtube videos but I watch your videos not theirs.
You guys should do a boat build, like a solo skiff but make it fancy, maybe some resin designs
The Squirrelly Nut Hut is coming along nicely 😉
Cheers Boys 🍻
1:28 “I hate being on the floor” if only you had a portable work bench you could do this on
Yinz! 😂 your Pittsburgh is showing!
Bow and arrow rack to store my hunting stuff and a laptop stand for elevating the screen at a desk
New to this channel. Nothing like hearing "yinz" to lemme know either where you're from or where u live now, still 🤣
Yinz are awesome.
Congrats on the new shop. Looking forward to seeing all the new projects to build it out.
What about a basic clamp top foldaway work bench for smaller projects the top winds open and can be used as a clamp ?
I need a sled for my contractor saw so badly and it would be cool to watch a simple (and safe for new woodworkers) way to build one.
You should teach some in person classes! Would love to see tool storage builds. Cordless tool storage and clamp storage specially!
I'd like to see a 4x4 ft table with casters that can be joined with another 4x4 ft table to make an 4sx8 ft table for big projects. I'd like to see it have something for adding heat guns on one leg and a paper towel holder on the diagonals so that I can do my epoxy work.
Oh, yes! I'd like it to be casters that can be locked in-place.
Thanks for your consideration!
The awesome fun factory
This is awesome! Perfect for weekend warriors and beginners! Also, Dewalt power stack FTW!!!
"So I do not have to pull out.." famous last words.
Is this your new shop? It looks huge. Love your content keep it up, very nice instruction for those of us up and coming wood workers.
I have those same casters on my workbench, They're da bomb!
I love bird nesting boxes and these are really important and a big favourite project for all. How about a beginner, intermediate, expert video? For tiny garden birds maybe? Love the content John, Sam and Jordan. Keep it going. From the UK. 🇬🇧
Basic projects? Hand tool cabinet to mount on the wall, think of it as a handtool workshop all in one cabinet that can open and fold out and if you ever move to another shop you can just unmount the one wall mounted cabinet and take all the hand tools with you.
A group of squirrels is called a dray ... so drays ... or even drays nut shop haha
Great video...now build a decent shave/stitching/spoon carving horse..make the heads interchangable.
John you should call the shop...........Get Squirrelly!
How about a video on building a flip top miter saw station? Where the miter saw flips under the table when not in use. Or combining that even with building the table saw into the table so there's an automatic outfeed?
Shop name suggestion: The Squirrel's nest
Needed a shot of John riding the table like Jordan did with style.
I’d like to see more small stuff. Bread boxes, napkin holders, bird houses, desk organizers, and dog houses. Looking forward to some smaller scale metal projects too. Decorative anything, wood and/or metal.
I wish there was a tiny bit more detail in the miter saw station video. It definitely skipped ahead and missed the tool slots and how the cabinets were assembled together. Maybe some stuff about mounting shop cabinets or other things that are basics but skipped by others.
You should do one on a baby crib or a three ways vid on baby cribs
I would name it "The Nest" as in a squirrel nest 😁
