Nice work Attila, and supper strong!! Love the support leg structure. Did a similar thing with my router box table saw extension with 1" square tube and 1/8 AL angle so I could still move the whole saw and extension when needed. Congratulations and Hat Tip for .5C of corporate working and the Perks! Reuse and Repurpose should be the standard in my book. With a little vision, ingenuity and work, scraps can be functional treasures. Back in the day I used some bed rails and gussets to make a 18" hand break when I was making electronic chassis in the shop. Great shop tour and good info on the Al saw blades, Thanks. Always a treat to spend time in the shop with you!! ~PJ
Thanks PJ. I'm thinking of retiring sometime in the next year and this will mean I can make more videos but I can't say I'm not a little apprehensive about stopping full time work. Thanks for your repurpose story and glad you enjoyed the video:)
Nitpicky comment, when cutting with a carbide tipped blade keep the power on till you’ve cleared the piece being cut with the teeth. You can chip off teeth occasionally if it binds or nicks the cut part. Love the finished piece and your videography.
Great find and nice build. Had to do the same job removing and sharpening the lawn mower blades last week, a stainless steel table would definitely been useful.
It’s awful to think of so much that winds up in landfill. Your workshop looks beautifully laid out, and though so much of it is evidently on its second life, nothing looks as though it is a second thought. It makes me feel both envious and somewhat ashamed of myself!
Nice work as always, I would never have guessed those areas of your setup were up-cycled, they all look like custom builds. Thanks also for the tutorial on cutting aluminum with wood working tools, I need to get one of those blades!
I do it similar. My workshop is full of old, reused things. I learned it from my grandpa. He used everything that could be of use. My limited space (17m²) hinders me from making more and everytime I see something usefull on the garbage I think what a waste. But great work, I am a bit envious of your shop/shed...
Kudos to your re-use tendencies. I do the same thing, and my woodshop is full of old cabinets that while ugly still function and hold stuff. I do think that you ought to have an acre of stainless, though... who doesn't need an acre of stainless? Quick question, and not intended to call you out: did we catch Attila between table saw bed maintenance sessions, or is that a special coating? If not, I likely don't have to tell you about the magical properties of T-9 Boeshield. It builds up in the sawbed's metal grain. I just hit mine with #400 sandpaper, clean it, and hit it with the T-9 for an overnight soak. At this point, I only have to do that about twice a year, and I'm in a high-humidity area in the US. I wax it after as well.
I don't know whether it was you or someone else who suggested T-9 to me in the comments some time ago, so I checked it out and the price of a can made me weep lol. I may have to revisit that suggestion soon, thanks.
@@awintheshed It prob was me, an it isn't cheap, no. However, I'm still on my first can. It seems to build up in the grain of the cast iron if you don't use the usual array of degreasers from the sanding stage. I use WD40 to make it easier to sand, and wipe off with rags. The spray can I have is about four years old and still going strong. Again, you should wax it after wiping the T-9 residue off.

Wow. That’s a dream shop, in my opinion: a place for everything, everything in its place.
Thanks.
Great ideas to reuse things that would've ended up in landfill. I wish you were my neighbour 😂
Thanks:)
Seeing how clean those Flexo's are, your workshop now makes sense, will done.
Thanks.
Awesome video. Love the extra narration!!
Thanks Mitch:)
Good work mate, that shed looks well organised and inviting. I could spend the whole day tinkering in a place like that.
Thanks:)

Szuper munka!!A regit is ujra lehet hasznosítani!!
Kosonom:)

Thanks. Yes I'm sure this surface will come in handy many times in the future.

Thanks. I am only a little sad that soon my shed will have reached it's limit and I wont be able to bring new old things in anymore.
@@awintheshed Then I welcome you to my world...😉
A proper yt channel real not fake good on you mate, keep it up, from a big fan UK
Thanks, glad you enjoy my videos:)
How do you keep your shop so damn clean and aesthetic XD. Especially if you reuse so much stuff for your projects
Thankfully the shed has plenty of storage and most of my tools are shut away from the dust, so keeping the place clean and tidy is very easy.
@@awintheshed I think, making videos and show the world your shop helps also a lot...
Thanks tinom:)
great content as always :)
Thanks.

OK, I'll have to get some on your recommendation👍
I have to ask where you got the clear cover for your lathe, I need one!
That's just the original plastic wrapping that the lathe came in.
Damn, brilliant piece of kit. Keep up the good work, I love your videos, and being Australian based it’s great to see relevant videos coming out.😊
