    As a Canadian I dont know if I should proud or insulted with the use of the Hockey pucks!!!! Great custom leveling feet!!!
    Fantastic work overall!!! That table will survive the coming zombie apocalypse!!! Seriously built!!!!

      I`m retired and have a small shop where I perform woodturning, create musical instruments, and some cabinetry. I have a shelf full of woodworking textbooks - but I found this woodworking guide, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . The comprehensiveness of this book is surprising. It has decent coverage on every topic.?

    OK so it’s five years later. How has this work clinched it up overtime? The half lap joints on your bracing? I was curious as to whether they were still solid and tight or have they come loose over time. I’m in the process of building a workbench right now and I was going to half lap my table braces so that it can be disassembled later and moved with me next year.

    Hockey pucks look like they need a few washers. One 5/8 washer between bolt head and puck. A big diameter washer and 5/8 washer between top of puck and nut.

    • @chrismoore9997

    • @timzak1
      @timzak1 Год назад

      For my table saw base on the horizontal 4 x 4’s I have the bolt going through the puck, a large flat washer, a nut that I drilled through and pinned to the carriage bolt, another nut and washer. Drilled a hole through the 4 x 4. Pounded a t-nut through the bottom. Threaded the carriage bolt into the t-nut and put a washer and nut on top. To use you loosen the nuts on both sides of the 4x4 and with a wrench adjust the nut at the puck up or down. Then tighten the top 2 nuts. If I was making this adjustment day in day out I might be worried about the pin breaking but basically it’s a one time adjustment. Nice to be able to have the table saw in line with the outfeed table.

    PERFECT!!! I've been looking for a good, sturdy build since I need to make some new tables for my garage shop. Dealing with the floor slope is such a pain...but using hockey pucks is the PERFECT solution. I'll be adding a levered drop caster system to my table so I can roll it out of the way, but other than that I can't think of a single thing I'd do differently. Very nice work!! Subbed.

    Great build! Only machinery needed is table saw to clean up 2x4s for gluing. Also needed is quite a bit of long clamps. Hand saw can be used to cut half lap joints or use the table saw. Substituted leveling feet with lockable caster wheels so i can use as outfeed for the table saw when needed.

    I would think the leveling feet would negate the advantage of the wide legs. Did you end up having problems with racking?

    • @chrismoore9997
      @chrismoore9997 4 года назад

      With all the glue and screws on the joinery, I would guess this table is as solid as a single block of wood could be. Wracking shouldn't be a problem. The leveling feet should improve / reduce wracking, not make it worse.

  • @treborx3
    @treborx3 2 года назад +1

    She's a beaut! But yes I would say more along the pro level. Even though mortise and tenon is a more primitive joint. You also do not have to have a planer. But I think Corey did an awesome job English explaining and for how it came out. My man was meticulous, and his bench shows. You just will be doing more hand planing. And if you don't have the electric Sanders, just do it by hand. People think that they have to have all these powered tools, and that's just not true everything he just had is offered in a manual version, down to a hand cranked drill. Some people prefer to do everything by hand. Believe me I'm 40 and I've done a ton by hand. When I was a teenager, my grandfather had me to. I wasn't allowed to use anything powered for the most part. He wanted to teach me. So that way I would be able to get things done the right way the old-fashioned way to us. And It's really not that bad, if you split it into little jobs don't try and get it all done, and overwhelm yourself. Trying to get it done in a day or 2 spread it out. Make sure you have everything you need, and Bam. I'm getting ready to try to do one of these myself. And I want to try and do a butcher block top for it. Corey here has giving me a few different methods on the top. +1 Corey. My top is going to be with two different kinds of wood, and do them every other it comes out for a really sweet look. I wish they had a rating system like one through five stars. Cuz people like things but not necessarily a lot or they like it a whole lot but you don't have a way of showing that. But 5 Stars 👍🏽

    Excellent piece of work. Design and workmanship, attention to the details. Now my often expressed question. This is an heirloom quality tool. Why did you put all that time and labor, valuable time and skilled labor into a build useing home center kiln dried pine lumber? Please don't tell me it's the cash. If part of the build plan timeline was to save up the money for some sturdy rot resistant lumber it would be time and money well spent. First and last, a very nice piece of work. When I have the time and money, in the meantime I'll have to stick with my solid core door and PT four by four's

  • @JustJimWillDo
    @JustJimWillDo 6 лет назад +6

    Nice build, certainly very sturdy. I don't see what the hockey pucks are doing though, since the bolt goes all the way through and contacts the floor anyway.

    • @CoreyRametta
      @CoreyRametta  6 лет назад +3

      The bolts don’t contact the floor, the hockey pucks do. I can raise and lower them as I need to make the table stay level on my uneven garage floor.

    • @HWoodCreations
      @HWoodCreations 6 лет назад +6

      Nice build. It looks like the whole weight of the table though is on the small shoulder of the hockey puck (where you drilled for the head to be recessed). Not sure what a hockey puck is made of, but I'm wondering if the nut on top will end up pushing through and breaking the puck. I definitely need to get this on my project list. Great job man!!

  • @billonthehill9984
    @billonthehill9984 5 лет назад +2

    ...Nice bench build Corey. I Like the joiner being used on this project too. Cutting mortises without the need of shims really is an art form. I have been following Paul Sellers from the UK on mortise & tenon chisel work. In fact he has convinced me to invest in a #4 Sweetheart smoother planer as well. Your finished project here is beautiful & very well done sir...

  • @JasonShowell
    @JasonShowell 6 лет назад +3

    I liked this build, the only thing I think I would have done in addition was to have welded the nut above and below the hockey puck. This would ensure they don't come loose but more importantly, you could use a spanner to raise or lower the leg without fear of the nut coming undone.
    Nice build, some good ideas in there.

  • @tstuff
    @tstuff 5 лет назад

    Nice work and the leveling foot are a good idea. My garage is the same. They didn't put the floor in level nor flat. The only difference I'd make is they would need to be locking wheels. I don't have a lot of room to leave all my tools set up and still use my garage for other things. Maybe in the future I'll build a shed where everything can be set up and left.

    Do you remember getting a bad cold while doing this project? Real bad sore throat, difficulty breathing? I hope not, but regardless, please read up on welding galvanized steel. Just a heads-up, nice build!

    • @jerrybobteasdale
      @jerrybobteasdale 6 лет назад +2

      Been there. Definitely recognize that the fumes are poisonous when welding galvanized. Don't hunch directly over the welding action.Use a fan, or weld outside and hope for wind. Be prepared for the root weld to not stick well. Welding galvanized may require hitting 1st bead with wire brush, then a 2nd pass. And don't make it a habit. It is sickening.

    • @jameshorrocks2939
      @jameshorrocks2939 6 лет назад +2

      He did grind on the area where he welded. I've welded galvanized metal several times. I prefer not doing it when a reasonable work around is available. However, I have never had an issue because i grind as much of the zinc i can away prior to striking an arc.

    This is definitely one of the best workbenches I've seen on RUclips. Its somewhat similar to Jay Bates workbench in my opinion. Although I do have a one question about your workbench. Why is it that most woodworkers lay the 2x4's upright as opposed to flat side down. Wouldn't you use less wood as your top? 2 inches of material seems like it would be hard to tear into. Right?

      Actual thickness of a 2x4 is only 1.5 inches. After planing you’ll only be left with 1.25”. This way the top is thicker, and heavier, which is preferred when working with hand tools.

    great job, not sure it is a DIY project, I only have a couple of the tools you used, and if I buy the others I am probably better off just buying the table

      Well said, I'm in the same boat.

      @@johnnelson9309 I did end up making a table with just a circular saw and a drill looks exactly the same and very sturdy

    Beautiful! Now THIS is my idea of a serious dinner table. I believe in "over-engineering"... so, keeping that in mind, how much reinforcement would you use to use the work bench for iron ware? Is there enough steel in the world? Kidding aside, great job!

    With the weight of the table top, is it really necessary to glue it? I mean I realize there is no harm in gluing to the legs, but it seems like the weight alone would secure it
