I've lived seven years in this house and was never curious enough to have a look in the roof cavity until I watched your video. I'm in awe of what you achieve up there in such a small space. Subscribed
😁 You've got to use a cup of tea to christen new work benches! It's the law in this country! What a fantastically designed and made bench. When you lift that cup up, you'll find the true definition of "benchmark"! 😁😉
Love your ingenuity in making use of an otherwise junk space in which to be creative. Some great ideas which I shall shamelessly be stealing when I make my workbench after I move house next year. Just wondered what the overall dimensions of the finished bench are as I have a mini bench already designed to go on top of the main bench and want to know if your bench would be wide enough. Like you, I have all my plans in my head, so I'm prone to making the odd booboo from time to time. I think we should show our mistakes as we learn from them and they can become OPMs for other people. (OPM Other People's Mistakes)
Hi. The bench top was cut from 2 x 12mm x 1220 x 610 sheets. The finish size is 650 x 1150mm with the nosings. The base is 600 x 1000 and stand 900mm high. Mistakes are all part of the process. I've dropped some real clangers in my time. OPM are a bit cheaper! :-) Regards JP
Hi John, another great video thank you. I’ve only recently found your channel (and subscribed) and I’m really enjoying the content of your videos. I wonder if I could ask a question? At 00:44 you mention fitting your “grooving blade” in your table saw. Would you please let me know where I can get one of these blades because I’ve searched the internet looking for “flat ground blades” and always drawn a blank. Many thanks if you can help but no bother if you can’t. Cheers.

My brother! Great video! This would be a cool DJ table. Is it stable to hold DJ equipment. I like how it folds! Great design! Sending you positive vibes from San Jose, California

Hi. I bought it on Amazon. Its a 6mm kerf - I think they also sell 4 and 5mm. I made a video about it here ruclips.net/video/UL1R2T-35Zo/видео.html. Thanks for watching Regards JP
Even though your joiner by trade, 10 out of 10 for the way you utilise the space and the ideas. Was wondering if you could give any info on your saw set up. Ive got the top, the same fence and a track square. Also got 2 large dogs that slip into the track so was wondering is your track permantly there? Sure i seen you slip it out of the wall & a table on another vid. Any info would be a massive help. Good luck. Keep it up.
Hi Steven. Thé Benchdog square and fence lives almost permanently in my fold down MFT along with my 800mm track. I use the 1400mm tracks for cuts elsewhere. I have the height set at 21mm so the saw just hovers over the stock I’m cutting. The front end of the track is supported by my diy rail support. Thank you for your view and comments. Regards JP
Great design. Narration too soft, music too loud, video sometimes too jerky, some details not clearly visible. But, I subscribed anyway. Likely to build this, or a close copy.

I saw those benches on ebay when I was investigating buying my latest MFT top. I'm sure they copied my design 😁 regards JP
@@Smallbarnworkshop narr been on ebay for a few years ....seen loads on RUclips USA home builders....no copying...but yours is good
Nice bench mate👍where did you get your grooving blade and what is the radius, curf and the bore size? Info will be appreciated.

Thanks alot for taking time out. Im only 7 months into my journey so i fully appreciate your info. Keep them vids coming.
No worries Steven. Keep racking up the experience. 👍
That clamp that you bolt onto the top do you have any other info on how that's made? Like the folding workbench.
Hi Pat. Thanks. This clamp?

@@Smallbarnworkshop This is the one I thought you made it. I have a torsion box top so these wont work for me.

How many kilo does it weight ?
Good question. I will come back to you on that - away with work at the moment.
Hi. Not sure if you prefer KG or Pound? So pounds in brackets. Base 16.3 kg (36) top 9.3kg (20) out of interest why do you want to know weight?
Sorry, but what is MFT?
A web search comes up with around a hundred MFT acronyms, but none seem to be relevant.
