Custom Ratchet and Socket Set Storage
I love creating custom French cleat tool holders, so here's a simple and fun build for storing my ratchet and socket set. Is it necessary? No. Should you make one for yourself? Absolutely.

Making a Crosscut Sled
Переглядів 4 тис.3 місяці тому
I'm not claiming this to be the end-all of crosscut sleds. Plenty of woodworkers on UA-cam have already done that. Take it or leave it. This one is mine, and I made a video of how I built it. Rant over. Here are some great resources if you want more inspiration: Inspiration for my old sled: ua-cam.com/video/0O1V1_k98Fo/v-deo.htmlsi=Z0qIfkkXCxEpuJP5 "Simple and dirty" sled by David Picciuto: ua-...

It is so much fun to build organizers for my tools. Nice job on your socket set wall hanger. It looks sweet.
Thanks!
Nice, simple, and practical.
those push ticks are dangerous when running big material. doesn't create much downward pressure and is better suited for thinner material
Looks really good. I especially like the coaster holder, I'm going to try that style. simple, modern, and clean looking. Thank you. Subscribed.
Glad you like it and thanks for subscribing!
Great build.
Thanks!
How do you like the Wen track saw?
Love it. Works great and does everything I need it to as a hobbies woodworker for a fraction of the cost.
Awesome build! I'm currently building something similar for a client and they are picking up this exact saw. Would you be able to tell me the height of the base? ie. the measurement needed for the drop down section so the top of the base runs flush with the workbench. I've scoured the internet and cannot find a consistent answer. Is it 3-3/4"? 3-7/8"? THANK YOU!!
I imagine it’s because of the discrepancies of the little rubber feet on the bottom. What I recommend is actually building the top part of the workbench (which will be flush with the saw) a bit higher, so you can shim up the saw with some washers or something thin. It is not quite 3 7/8” (more like just under 3 13/16) so that’s the height I would make the top part of the bench to give you some wiggle room to shim.
@@kspencer_handcrafted This is exactly the kind of answer I was hoping for. Thank you so much!
New subscriber alert: Great build! I like your video's style and presentation. I have similar tools and would love it if you made plans available so I can do my best with recreating it (I promise to notch the BACK of the table for the drill press post, lol)
I know, I really need to try and get plans made up one of these days. Since woodworking is already just a hobby, I don’t seem to ever find the time!
Thanks for the sub! I know, I really need to get plans made one of these days. Since woodworking is already just a hobby, I cant seem to find the time for it all!
Very nice❤❤❤❤
If you turn your block plane at a bit of an angel it will slice thru your timber much easier. Also with the iron retracted you can wax the sole of your plane then buff it up. This is a FANTASTIC video. I have a new Saw Stop CTS. I am going to copy almost every bit of what you built. The biggest change is I will use a Kreg Tool Bench as my carcass. What do you think of that? I see where another comment said “Full Plans would sell like flapjacks. I would buy these plans pronto! This is the best CTS bench build out there. In fact it may be the only CTS bench build. Then you could buy your young son a Saxophone and a Bazooka for fighting off the Boogie Man. We have that same issue at my place sans the 2 year old.. Well Done Indeed!
Thanks. I’m a bit of a hand tool novice…although I just picked up my own Lie-Nielsen block plane from Maine. (I was borrowing my father-in-law’s $5 Stanley garage-sale find that wasn’t the sharpest.) Interesting idea about the Kreg Bench. Will you notch out the top part of the bench for the saw to drop down into? I know, I need to get those plans made one of these days, but there just aren’t enough hours in the day since woodworking is already just a hobby!
Enjoyed your content and presentation. Liked and Subscribed.👍
Thanks for bringing us on your journey ❤
You bet!
Nice station. Great tip on using the Bessey miter clamp to hold panels at 90 degrees. I was wondering what I might use these for as they've been collecting dust. Thx Jeff
Beautiful. Full plans would sell lie flap jacks.
Well thought out project..great use of reclaimed cherry (drawer pulls well worth the effort) overall a great miter saw station
Thanks so much!
Would you share or sell the plans?
I plan to eventually make them in a software in which I can export plans, but I currently don’t have the option. Sorry
Nicely done!
Do you have a build video on the table saw stand for the dewalt table saw with the out field? I really like that and I have the same saw. I have the dewalt planer that is the next step up from that one you have and want to build a tablesaw /planer stand for them, constantly moving them to the floor is very awkward and very unenjoyable
Don’t have a build video, but here are some pics to help plan the build… instagram.com/p/CbtkDOyMLJ5/?igsh=MXFuOWRhdmF1dGZ2OQ==
I have the Sawstop great table and awesome video!
Thanks!
Measurements? Great craftsmanship!
Well, it was all just based off of my scrap wood dimensions, but I figure it was about 12” wide (to fit through my planer) by 18” or so.
Sehr gut gemacht
Awesome bench. I've designed a very similar bench but haven't gotten to the point to build it yet. I'm glad I came across this video because I wasn't sure how I was going to build out the drawers. Also your solution that allows for the table saw fence to move was clever and simple. I'm going to redesign and incorporate a couple of your ideas. Thanks for posting this video!!
Awesome! That’s great to hear!
Very nice workbench. Good example for the one I would like to build. Nicely presented. Nice dad. A little sad though your cute (and handy) son is so into bad guys already...
Well, he was very into superheroes for a while thanks to his big bro, and knew they “got the bad guys.” 😆
Nice job sir I am in the same process with my workshop at home and I am a joiner 😂but I am lucky l have a double garage and I am just getting around to it 😂and no cars to go into 😊l have put a lot of draws and pigeons holes for my Milwaukee packouts l do like yours small draw’s good idea for these little spaces 😊
Do you have the planset for sale?
Not yet unfortunately. Slowly working on learning Fusion so I can get shareable plans available.
Great build. What do you do for a living? For your first build of this kind, it is beautiful.
Thanks! I’m actually a director of church music and worship. This is just my hobby
enjoyed this one!
Thanks!
This is great. I'm planning to redo my workbench and wanted a Sawstop. Just wasn't sure which one to get. I only have half of a small garage and my laser take up a lot of space. is this the smalled Saw Stop?
Yes, this is the smallest one available
are there plans available for the build ?
Sorry, not at the moment.
I have a Ridgid contractor saw in my table, getting ready to replace it with the same Sawstop you have. Glad to see it can be done and I like the added wing. Well done
Tremendous workstation. The planning and measurements must have been daunting. you are extremely talented and have created so much in a compact beautiful workstation. I wish i had a fraction of your talent.
Thank you very much!
Great job. I'm going to build this exactly the same for my garage workshop
Good luck!
Looking to build a miter station and I have the same miter saw and drill press. Out of curiosity, is there a reason you didn’t take the base off the drill press to install it instead of cutting the shelf? Whatever the case - good video. I followed and liked. ❤
If I would have realized the ramifications of a possible screwup, I definitely would have done that. I was trying to avoid disassembling the drill press as my original solution seemed the easiest, but in hindsight, I think a hole through the work top would’ve been the simplest solution.
It's nice to see that walnut being put to use after our "milling" process! Great build.
Ahhhhh, Toddlers armed with drills, takes me back to that day the wife and I were installing our first home upgrade - Solid Maple Cabinets, I was down to attaching doors and I heard my son running the drill behind me and thought oh how cute - until I turned around and realized he had been dragging it across the faces of the installed doors. Good Times Good Times.
Ouch! That’s painful to hear. Glad you can laugh about it now!
😂😂
❤❤❤🎉😢
Nice touch putting the kids hand prints on the back. It looks great too thanks for posting
Thanks-it definitely made the gift.
Regarding the drill press, I would have just cut the hole. Removed the drill from the pole and slid the pole through the hole and then reattach the drill head. No need fir a slot at all.
In hindsight I agree completely.
Nice build! I’ll have to make some of these handles. BTW, I really like your tabletop dust collection for your router!👍🏻
Thanks! Here’s my video on the shroud: ua-cam.com/video/OttqyLUlDzw/v-deo.html&si=RVtIr_S6T-1L1ulb
@@kspencer_handcrafted Awesome, thanks!
Great tip with the straw!
Great looking piece~! Very clean design. Also, I see that you and I both own somewhat of a shop unicorn...the Craftsman tilting head bandsaw~! That was my 1st bandsaw from '91/'92 and it still serves me well today. 😃
That’s awesome!
Cam at Blacktail Studio has his “diamond hard” N3 nano kit for $180, that covers 75sqft. That might be a bit spendy for coasters, but it’s the best, IMO.
I’m familiar with it, but haven’t used it. Figured I’d give it a try on my next table build…so I could justify having some on hand and try it out with coasters!
That is a really cool coaster holder. And the coasters look awesome as well!
Thanks!
Nice video! Thank you and God bless you sir.
Thank you too
Awesome job. Really cool. Best regards from Germany 😊
Thank you very much!
Make a sacrificial fence for your miter saw for more safety
Love the blue tape drill bit hole trick! Also, you gave the handles some whacks and then finished the board with wax? Or is it ax and whacks?😂😂
7:06 in the video. Just exactly why UA-cam has proven such an informative platform. Had not seen that little practice of drilling the voids for the expoxy or even glue adhesion. Great tip.
I agree. I’ve learned so much on this platform…wanna pass along tips I’ve learned or discovered.
Where do you get your brass? Great video!
Got them from Amazon. Was gonna include the link, but they’re unavailable from the same seller.
Very nice project! I especially like the drawer pulls. 👍👍
Thanks!
Thanks for that router dust collection I will make one soon...............Subbed
Thanks for the sub!
