- Watch along as I go through why I decided to buy a Veritas drill press table and fence from Lee Valley, rather than build my own.

Lucky you, to have a LeeValley store in town. LeeValley is to me what amazon is to most people-I don't really care for amazon, actually.
I did buy one of those tables, but went with the smaller version out of fear it wouldn't fit my drill press. Had I watched your video back then, I woulda gone with the large one.
It's a mixed blessing. I find it so easy to pop down there and pick stuff up. haha. It's honestly a fantastic store. I'm always surprised to find the things they have in stock.
Hey Ryan, I may have a second and third reason to build one. While I grew up with access to my dad's workshop with all the milling and fine woodworking equipment one could ask for, and I work in the trade myself, I never developed the desire to really immerse myself in the world of woodworking until recently, as I approach 60. I've been looking at Lee Valley's $179 CAD drillpress table (in Toronto) but keep coming to the conclusion that I'm going to build it instead. My primary reason for wanting to build it myself is the advantage of developing and refining my knowledge and skills on tools I am less practiced with through the process. I also just like bringing my own concepts to life. For me, these more than pay for the time. It is an investment of time that pays dividends by adding something to what I am made of and adding a little of me tangibly into the world. Or I could just have a drill press table...lol. Cheers, Paul.
That’s a great addition! I tried to mention in the video that I love building shop furniture. I think you hit the nail on the head that it is a great place to hone your skills. And for most of us, the joy is in the building. I’m quickly running out of room in the house for wooden furniture. 😂
I also need a cross-cut sled for my saw, so that would further justify the expense of buying a sheet of baltic birch.
Yes, that makes sense! Any justification for more projects is great justification. :)
