Thanks for watching, tune in next week for more videos :)
I don't understand how this video has so few plays. The quality of editing, image and the magnificent workbench you have done does not deserve it. You have a new subscriber, greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina ! (the other side of the world)
Hey Argentina! (Sebastián) greetings from Norway :) and thank you so much for the kind words!
IT takes youtube a while to recognize a channel with this potential. He's breaking out now.
Meh. It takes more than editing. He has some very good ideas but then screws the pooch on many of them with a severe over reliance on MDF to make heavy duty bits like this workbench. Not to mention the complete lack of safety by not wearing some type of respirator while cutting that toxic garbage or using a push stick only occasionally.
you probably dont give a damn but does anyone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb lost the login password. I love any help you can give me!
@Abdiel Rogelio Instablaster :)
It's probably outside of your remit, but I'd love to see a video from you about your 3D design process. You know, from conception, to measuring, modeling and printing!
And here I am with my tiny workshop where I barely can walk because it s full of stuff and saw dust. I now have the urgent desire to get it more organized. Good videos, thank you for sharing.
Hello I'm from Indonesia and love your content.. inspiring people
Loving this workbench. I like how you did the drawers. I'm really enjoying your style of video as well. And thank you so much for free plans for the router template. That's amazing! I know how much work goes into that!
big up brother, inspired me to build my own workbench
3D router templates and guideplates = GENIUS!!! Great video! SUBSCRIBED.
I am so impressed with your video quality and content structure, especially given you somehow only have 39K subs. Definitely one of my new favorite channels. Also, if you ever make merch, “Glued. Screwed. Dried.” would make a great t-shirt
Great great video. Thank you 👍👍👍👍!
Outstanding... One of the best workshop videos I've seen on UA-cam... Definitely subscribing!!!! 👍
I love the quality of the work. That table must weigh a ton. It’s exactly what I would want but on a small scale. Good job Alexandre.
amazing finish
Very nicely done. You might consider routing small notches in the bottom of your shelves for the pins to fit into. This will keep the shelf from sliding in and out when sliding stuff on top of it.
Since today the Thingiverse-Link is working. Thanks a lot Alexandre
I'm annoyed that I'm addicted to your videos and the annoyed part is I already went through your videos like fuck your good wish there was more. I'm excited for next video
I would suggest to mill the inner part of drawer front till bottom part to allow any dust get out. With current execution you created some kind of pocket inside of drawer front.
Great build, and awesome channel keep it up!
flyingvish thank you ☺️
How deep is your love?
AC: "I have got a little piece of tape on my "drill bit" here so I know how deep to go."
Awesome job..... love it. Thanks
انت تستحق المتابعه - مبدع بمعنى الكلمه.. 😉😂👍💜
Mmmmmmmmm..........biscuits I'm feeling hungry :) Really good design ideas, I'll have to take some of them for my next project.
You should consider 3d printing a little stop for your drill bits instead of the tape.
Good stuff, looking forward to the drawer organization videos! And anything else, really :)
You need to put some kind of sealant on that raw material to keep moisture out of it. Over time, it will become soft from moisture infiltration.
Отличный стол. Супер подход к работе.
Î think for drawers box joint it will be best
Nice work, looks like its serving you well. I think Chris has a good point about treating the surface with something to keep moisture out and make cleaning easier. Shellac or thinned polyurethane are supposed to be good, you'll just have to do a few coats because the MDF like to soak up the finish. Looking forward to seeing more stuff, subbed.
I remember in one video you stated which screws you always use. Here they look like flat head torx screws. Does anyone have a link to these particular screws?
5:49 Do you recall what your depth of cuts were?
Great video. What is the name of those sliders?
Blum or Hettich.
Awesome!
Why didn't you run a line from the big dust collector / cyclone separator that you built?
I love those router templates, but why not use a flush trim bit? Do you need the part attached to the router? I'm new to this so I'm probably overlooking something.
I made a few of my own router templates out of hardboard that I use with a flush trim bit and they work awesome! I can make a dozen copies with them no problem.
I never considered 3D printing a template though! Making a perfect template is hard work, that could seriously help.
Usually flush trim bits have the bearing on their tip, which means they have to have the template under whatever you're trimming. For these handles, that wouldn't work. Maybe if you found a trim bit with the bearing in the middle or at a specific height it could work. But that's not the case.
This is great!
Not sure if you know this but there is a site called "Gumraod" you're able to upload your designs to that you're giving away, and if willing they can choose to donate any amount to download your designs. Keep up the great content!!!
Hello. Your video production is great! Why does the drawer have a double face though?
Ahmed Twahir thanks :) that's usually how I make drawers, it's a bit stronger and easier to build this way. Also in this case, to get a deeper holde for the handles.
super strak, leuk kanaal!!!
I like your video and this desk. I'm going to make something similar soon. Do you have a brad nailer? and if so why did you use screws instead of the nailer. and if you do not have one, would you prefer to use one?
PracticalBuilds jeah i have a Brad nailer, but screws pull together the boards better and give more strength. Thanks for watching :)
Hi, to mill the drawers in mdf what speed you use? And the bit what diameter?
Thank you.
Get some kaizen foam to organise all your drawers.
What router bit are you using??
what partnumber is it for the runners ....
Hey Alex. You need one more tool... You need a Gimbal! =D
Nice work printing the template for the hold recess, and overall a good piece, my only comment is please wear a dust mask when cutting MDF it’s extremely hazardous to your lungs.
Thanks! And yes I totally agree! I luckily have pretty good dust extraction, but I'll get better at wearing a mask aswell!
I'm not sure if MDF was a right choice - this material likes water too much. MFP is a new king
is that 18mm or 24mm mdf?
Hello Alexandre the Thiniverse Link can not be download. Is it possible that you send me the file?
Hi! Could you link where to buy those Bloom things? How is it spelled?
You can search Amazon by putting "Blum".
Blum is the spelling and they are one of the main suppliers of hinges and soft-closers... and they make great jigs
@@chrixtianr8888 thanks
Anyone knows what is the name of those drawers slides? Cannot find them anywhere and I love their simplicity.
Not exactly the same but look for hettich quadro v6
Hey, does someone knows the overall dimensions of the table?
I have been watching ILiketomakestuff, and see that he uses something called a "dado-stack" to cut grooves like you did on the tablesaw, but I have understood that those aren't available here?
Felder makes an equivalent available, but the saw has to be able to support them, and the EU has some requirements around that related to braking. That means most inexpensive saws can't use them, which means most home/hobby shops never see them.
Also, they cost around $1000 USD just for the blades.
@@Psychlist1972 Ah, good to know. Looked like a good way to do it this also. And I guess a router would be usable also? But this is not my trade though :)
@@Neslekkim Yeah. The EU generally prefers you use a shaper or router. Those are better for stopped grooves or really large panels in any case.
Speaking of ILiketomakestuff, every time that music plays (Love for the Ocean Tigerblood Jewel Remix), I keep expecting to hear Bob Clagett's voice..... "In the hands of a maker...."

Why not make life easier and put drawer runners on the back shelves? Make an other shelf on runners for the bottom and make them a little shorter on the hinge side in order to clear it.
Very inspiring, but must call you out for not wearing safety glasses! A dust mask also would be good with all that mdf dust.
Surprised you never show how you make the 3D models.. great oppertunity missed there (so far..).
needs more snaps & claps...
How much did it cost to build?

brilliant, but biscuits don't do anything for strength but just for alignment
I think they help a little, if used correctly. There's considerably more glue surface area when the biscuit is saturated with glue and it actually swells inside the groove.
Imagine if you will an almost magical invention, a device that eliminates the tedious and questionable reliability of repeatedly passing a piece of wood over a single saw blade nudging the fence each pass to create a recess in the wood and praying that you can get the fence back into the exact starting position to begin the next series of cuts. This device is called a stacked dado set and you have just entered the Twilight Zone...or you live in any year after 1900 when they were invented.
Imagine if you will other countries with different rules about power tools. You have entered... the rest of the world. All kidding aside, see the comments above about dado stacks in Europe. In my opinion, its debatable whether a dado stack is inherently more dangerous than a regular table saw blade, but sadly no-one in Europe cares about my opinions. Hey, whatever gets the job done I guess.
