![Portable Bench Build [video 426][Gifted/Ad**]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/7OqrljJHOaw/mqdefault.jpg)
Probably the most friendly woodworker on UA-cam. 😊
Thank you.
The shop teacher I never had.
Your added tips and commentary are tremendously valuable and really make this video special!
Was just about to drop $$$ on an MFT. Found this video just at the right time to save a good chunk of change. My wallet thanks you.
Nice video. No small talk, very eficient, very precise. I love his perfect English. No slang, no hickups. Like Pierce Brosnan. Nice tips and tricks. Thanks, I learned a lot.
Wow, thanks!
Been watching your vids for a while and just realized I wasn't subscribed. Always a useful and easy to understand presentation.
Thanks!
Love your work, so refreshing to see a local doing what you do on UA-cam.
Thanks Michael!
....I just discovered your videos and webpage after buying a MFT yesterday and looking for videos on squaring it! Your ideas/tables are OUTSTANDING and look forward to buying your plans and creating my own customized 'MFT Extension Table' in the future... Keep up the awesome work!!
Thank you ajalbetjr !
Your personality and joy is infectious and always makes me want to rush out to my workshop and just do anything! Thanks!!
Infectious personality, or just highly contagious excitement for power tools? 😉
absolutely love this project and the versatility of such a small platform. This is definitely a work multiplier.
Couldn't agree more!
Enjoyed your video. I like the way you present the information you are sharing. Clear and concise. Thank you
Love your attention to detail Dave , it's great to see another struck with the same affliction
Thanks Superbradthestrong!
Awesome. So well explained that even my wood brain can follow. This will be my next project. Thanks for this, David.
Absolutely love this Dave !!!! This is my next build. I can hardly wait to get started. Love it !!
Hope you enjoy it!
Your tip for the router depth stop to figure out the bottom of the t-track is genius! I'm always fighting with the plunger spring trying to get the correct depth. This seems so much easier. Can't wait to try it!
Who knew a router depth stop could bring so much joy? It's the little things in woodworking, right?
I was searching for comparisons between having a T slot vs MFT style table. You went off and combined the best of both worlds. Thanks for sharing your build process!
My pleasure Michael Morrison !
Thanks Dave, you have one of the best wood channels on UA-cam. You have a true gift of teaching. I drew a lot of inspiration from this build for my own portable project table. Will post when it's finally finished!
Thanks Chilipal, looking forward to it!
Dave, you're a good teacher you don't seem to miss out any tiny little thing it's so nice to hear somebody talk like you ,and include, All the Little niceties, it's when you explain something, so many good technicians who do not know how to teach. great video but it was too short, thanks.
Very welcome
What a brilliant video Dave, got a few things going on just now, but this is definitely getting added on my to-do list. Thanks for sharing. Calum
Thanks Calum!
Really good video. Really enjoy watching your vids, you're genuinely happy to do this kind of work. It's contagious.
Thanks Daniel!!
It's so inspiring watching your videos Dave. That is really a beautiful piece of gear you ended up with there.
Thank you Klaus Pedersen !
David thank you again I've not been subscribed to your channel long but in that short amount of time you have helped me out with my own shop so much. This is the best thing yet my shop is rather small so as I watched this Video ideas just started popping off in my head.
Thank you again.
Send me pictures to share on my livestream! davestantonfans@gmail.com Thanks for the compliment!!
Very nice Dave!! Looks very handy! I admire your attention to detail sir
Thanks Jim!
Dave you're a genius!
Thanks Aidan!
Looking forward to my ujk system to arrive and this type of worktop is first on my list. Followed by Timothy Wilmots MFTC. Thanks for another great video Dave.
Man o man I wish I was as patiënt as this man. The level of detail is off the charts. Simply beautiful.
Thanks Dragan Bakema!
Best video yet dave! Keep up the good work! You are the bob Ross of woodworking 👍
Thanks!
You are the master of MFT workbench . I’ve just finish my MFT with festool profils .
Thanks Jean michel Bottin!
Thanks for sharing. That's a good looking workbench there, and some great ideas which I hope to copy. I like the way that you added the legs and how easy it is to set up anywhere. The bench dog system has proven itself effective for clamping all kinds of things, particularly carcasses.
However, IMHO bench dogs are NOT GOOD for registering angles as the workbench holes top and bottom rims get damaged when the dogs twist under clamping pressure.
Thanks Jeff. Can't say that I have had that experience with the parf dogs as they are such tight tolerances.
I did a video of something similar not too long ago. Next time I make one I'm going to use some Arm-R-Seal...buffing out 3 coats of paste wax wasn't fun. Looks like you'll get a lot of use out of that. Great video 👍🏻
Exactly what I need.... well almost. I will be building one next week I don't think I have ever seen such a versatile portable bench that's as affordable. Thanks for making this video.
Good luck!
I have had a few comments relating to using shorter screws to hold the t track in. I like the fact that if the bench is used "upside down" that you know exactly where the steel screws are if using a track saw.
Thanks for posting this well conceived workshop staple!
That screw/saw blade conflict issue is 1 of 2 reasons I use epoxy for this task instead. The 2nd reason is that the short embedment of the short threads easily pull out of the plywood if there’s a strong enough load applied to a track fixture, and the continuous adhesion of the epoxy will not allow that to happen.
Why would that worry you? You surely wouldn't be planning to let any saw cutting be hitting that piece in any way, would you? I know I wouldn't, I actually wouldn't mind making one for myself, thank you for posting this video. I'm going to go and check out your other videos Re: the construction of this table and the positioning of the holes etc. I was thinking you were just using longer screws due to after routing, there wouldn't be a great deal of meat left on the plyboard, so you would want the screws to at least be past the self-tapping thinner tip, and have all the screws in deep enough to have the full thickness of the gauge of your screws and just grind off and file down as you did because they would be in the way otherwise, I like SuperBardley's Idea and I may use Epoxy Resin when I do mine :)...
I love watching and re-watching your videos Dave.
Thanks Shane Southwood!
Hi Dave , just found this Channel , absolutely Awesome , great tips and great set up
Welcome Robe999! Share the channel with your friends and don't forget to watch the live shows, same time every week.
Brilliant Dave! Just moved on to my top five build list!
Number 1 I hope!!
Wow, I'm so happy I found this video. Thank you!
I love the idea of adding the t-slot track. If you don't want to flip the bench over to switch from cutting and holding, you could cut the t-track to create a gap near one end of the workbench. This would leave a safe path for the saw blade. Peter Millard adds a piece of sacrificial stock along the cross-cut region on his workbench.
Glad it was helpful!
This is great. Would love to see your attempt at making the MFT with legs. Been trying to find a really sturdy and minimal DIY leg design for my diy MFT
I love this mate. I'm definitely making it and it will be so handy to put in the van and take with me to work. Keep the great ideas coming. 👍
yes its good eh
Just found this channel .. I must say David comes across as a really nice guy …. I am sub now and look forward to watching more …. thank you David, nice one !
Thanks Troy!
Dave I really enjoy watching your videos. You are a very good teacher. Did you teach for a living? You have a great way of making your points, no wasted time and wrapping up at the end. Good topics too.....
Thanks for the compliment. No, not a teacher. I am a retired builder who works part time a couple of days in a tool store.
i love the versatility great job Thanks!
Only just got round to this Dave. Very professional mate, lovely job, great video.
Thanks Graham!
Great work Dave ! Keep on doing this art of work , liked it very much , greets from Germany
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent worktop for home and site work - very cool!
Great project made comprehensible and thorough. Keep’em coming!
Thanks Kenneth!
Very nice David. You brought so many handy shop items together and have them working in concert to create a super work surface that an be easily transported to wherever its needed.
Heaps of fun working it out and creating the bench Bob!
Great work bench. I am a completely new woodworker, but I downloaded the plans and I am going to try and build this. I hope I can get it done. You experienced guys make it look so easy.
Take your time with it Bory, enjoy the process! By the way, the slots for the cushion strips need to be 1.5 mm deep, not 2.5 as per the plans.
Plans look pretty complicated for my new woodworking skills, but I have watched your videos several times and I think I am beginning to get it. Took me awhile to figure out what you were saying about the slots on the 90 degree board, but I think I understand now. You just want me to drill the 20mm hole all the way through and screw the Rockler bench dogs to the top into the brass inserts. I do not have a domino machine, but I do have a DowelMax machine. Can I use dowels instead of the dominos? How many dowels do you think I need to install? You want me to cut the slots for the cushion strips to 1.5 mm deep. I have noticed that during the video you stated make the slots 2 mm. I guess the cushion is compressing so you don't want the slot as deep. Any information that you think will help me with this build please feel free to let me know. I really enjoy watching you do your thing. I am a 70 year old man so I doubt I will live long enough to get as good as you. Takes a lifetime of experience to get as good as you. Thanks for your help and concern in this matter. BJ
This is an awesome idea! I'm going to build it. Dave you are the best.
Thanks Joel, you speak the truth!!
I like this idea. I am working on my workbench, which is my family's old kitchen table that my grandpa made. I have been hesitant to drill a bunch of holes in it, this will eliminate that problem. Well done :)
I didn't want to drill into my new bench either. Great minds think alike!! Thanks for watching Jason!
This is great! I've been thinking of building a table. But this is something that I could do much more quickly. I would love to be able to put this on the edge of my table and be able to use to hold things for my Domino. And now... I'm sure it will be great for cutting with my TSC 55 I got just today. Loving your channel
Hi Angie, the bench is a great 3rd hand! Thanks for watching.
Every so often somebody comes up with a brilliant idea for a product that every one will want or want to make. I think, Dave, you've just done it. Congratulations! Could this be another 'Workmate' type success story?
Thanks Richard!
@@DavidStanton how come we don't see u on UA-cam any more David
Matthew, I'm on every week
That bench top is a work of art. Thanks for showing it to us.
Glad you like it
I enjoyed watching this series on making a portable MFT bench. I have watched Peter's video on the UJK system and plan to order it from Lee Valley in the near future. The interesting part of the video on the mft3 bench was your use of the Bench Cookie(s) from Rockler. I had seen the bench cookies over the years and never paid much attention. In preparation for building your workbench, I order eight Bench Cookies from Amazon. I just so happen to begin working on a home project that required me to cut some 4 x 8 sheets of plywood. Rather than drag out some timbers to separate the plywood sheets for cutting, I used the Bench Cookies. I was amazed at how they kept the sheets from sliding apart and then how firm they held smaller pieces when making more intricate cuts. I still plan on using the cookies for the portable bench, however, I may need another 8 for working around the shop or in the home. Thanks for the tip. I enjoy the UA-cam videos and the super chat on Sunday.
Regards,
Chuck
The bench cookies are very surprising! Thanks for watching Charles, hopefully I can keep interesting content on my little channel.
Excellent video and concept.
My only comment is what you said about painting, yes it might not stick on the waxed wooden surface but it will stick on the t-track and the anti-slides, so a newspaper or some nylon will be needed underneath.
You are correct! Thanks for watching!
Dave, just got the Festool Slideway Non-Slip tape from eBay, the last part I really need to buy. I' think I'll use MDF at 1" thick, but I'll test drill some scrap first to see if the Quick Clamps will have enough clearance to install If Not 3/4" Birch Ply will work just fine. Yep I'm home for good in a little over a month!
Nice work. Good ideas for using existing tools and clamps on hand. I’m thinking of converting a 1960 36” square card table to something like your with legs.
Fantastic!!!! This is going on my project list. Thanks Dave!
Thanks Charles! Send me some photos when you are making it!!
Great video Dave, I'm thinking I can incorporate this top into a new outfeed table that I need to make for my table saw. Thanks
I am sure it will do the trick Dave! Send me some photos when done!
Absolutely amazing I'm going to make one now slightly bigger thank you so much. I'm a contractor and this is going to help
Glad it helped
Hi Dave
Absolutely brilliant, I don't have a lot of room in my workshop but could tailor fit one to my table saw which would give me a nice work area and when I'm finished with it, it can sit down the side of table saw. Thanks for the tutorial.
Regards Edd .
Thanks for watching Edward!
You're a woodworking legend, mate!
Thanks John!! Not dead yet.
That's *sophisticated* woodworking. Thank you, Dave.
My pleasure.

David Stanton you have saved me from sleeping on the couch! I’ve been in a tussle with my wife on creating a portable workbench that would have taken away space she wanted for shelving. Your solution allows me to have my custom MFT and her shelving. Bravo!
Great idea Dave.
That's a project for every carpenter!
Share it around James!
the head cam footage of putting the tape on is some seriously good ASMR
Thanks Tom Courtney!
I am so making this, photos to follow, thanks as always Dave.
Thanks Simon!
Dave, absolutely a brilliant idea. Excellent presentation & guidance. Only problem I have is you state "make this bench for under $150 (in materials) & for a few more dollars add some accessories, including the UJK part guide system. This bench will not work without the dog holes, consequently the UJK part guide system should be used to locate the holes. I find the cost of the UJK part guide system(in Australia) cost prohibitive & makes your work bench an extremely expensive project, especially for a DYI person(who are essentially the bulk of your audience). Still, an excellent job & brilliant design. Congratulations.
Thanks for the compliment! Re the Parf guide, I know of a lot of people who have purchased a parf guide system as a group, Men's sheds especially. Are you a men's shed member? They might have one or be interested in getting one?
Straight away this caught my eye, so I had to leave the previous film, I'll catch up on it later! Very interesting indeed!
Thanks AoToGo!
Hy Dave i made my first recline bench whit the parf guide sistem! Your video are so great!! Thank you so much
Glad it helped!
Fantastic video! I bought the UJK Parf system when it was first released and I've made a couple of quick benches out of MDF. This Parf system should be one of the first tools for the new woodworker or any woodworker.
I will be building a table like this because we're headed into autumn and my garage is not heated. Thanks again for the video!
Glad you liked it Tim. Send me some pics when you make it!
Definitely adding this to my to do list. Looks supremely versatile! Love your vids David.
Thanks Parrish!
It looks like my inserts for 5/16" only need a 3/8" pilot hole. People should check theirs before drilling. Thanks for the video David. It saved me a lot of time when I drilled my benchtop.
Yes, 3/8" is correct.
This Is fantastic. I am always looking for ways to hold jobs especially when I am away from the shed.
Hope it goes well for you Rob!
Great Video, thanks for sharing!
This will be one to keep!!
My pleasure J G!
My wife laughing at you, thinking that's exactly the sort of thing that excites me! Love your Vids Dave, I will be building this when I get home in December! Outstanding!
Hahaha, well it is good that your wife knows you and I bet you have a giggle at some of the things she watches?
Spooky, ye know me too well?
This is incredibly helpful, thank you for taking the time to make it!
You're very welcome!
Dave, i just watched this video. Very clever! I bought a Festool track saw back almost a decade ago, and I CNC’d my own large “MFT” top. (I worked for a small engineering shop then, and had access to their CNC router.) I did not need the portability of the MFT/3, and I wanted my bench to be large, for use as an assembly table, and also outfeed table for my table saw. But there are times I would like to have a second, smaller table. At the time I CNC’d my top, I did not have room for a full sheet of MDF in my basement shop, so after cutting all the 20mm holes, I routed the top to 3 feet wide and 7 feet long, from the standard 4’ X 8’ sheet. It turns out that 3’ is plenty wide, and I have never really missed having the full 8’ length. My top is still in great shape, but I would definitely get the UJK tool to make a replacement top, after watching you use one for your portable bench.
You showed that the long Parf dog could be inserted upside down, but mentioned you were not sure why anyone would do this. I use this feature all the time. I have several portable tools like small bandsaw, scroll saw, and arbor press, that are mounted on plywood, and have 20 mm holes in two corners, which align with the dog holes on my bench. I secure the tool to the main bench by dropping the long Parf dogs down thru the tool base, into the bench thru its dog holes. Most tools are heavy enough that anchoring the dogs with screw handles is unnecessary. However, I may add a T-track to my main bench, just to give me other options. Thanks for your great videos!
Thanks for the compliment Lee Reep!
Absolutely brilliant Dave. Just found your channel and have been engrossed for a few days. I can see you are going to be a bad influence, already ordered up some mag switches, and now I can see I am going to have to knock one of these up too. Cheers from Florida...
Hi Steve, it's a slippery slope! Enjoy the ride, thanks for watching!!
I don't usually comment on videos but I really liked this one. Well done.
Thanks Andy! Share it around if you know of someone else who may enjoy it.
Excellent production. I like it. I only wish I had a bench top like yours to start with. You've got the shop that we all dream of.
Hi Ray. Thanks for the compliments! I am very fortunate to have my shop the way it is but it didn't just land in my lap. A lot of work to get where I am.
@@DavidStanton Oh, I realize that. I was just meaning that I'd love to have the space you have. I'm in a tiny little shed but I am very fortunate to have what I have. Oh well, I'm close to the end so it makes no sense to have more that I have. But, I sure do enjoy seeing what the rest of you all have. Maybe in my next life. LOL.
taking the end off of a quick-release clamp and threading it through dog hole - that blew my mind
Thanks ltandrepants!
Great Job! Very well made video. Entertaining but still technical with a bit of humor and a nice touch of reality.
Thanks corndog77511!
So handy Dave! Love the wax idea too.
Thanks Mark!
I love everything I see in you Chanel the best is the way you have everything in you shop congratulations and thanks for teaching to us.
You are so welcome.
Very detailed , informative with great vedio . This is a project I can use in my shop.
Thanks David!
Hey Dave very good invention I like it a lot, even people who keep their workshops tidy are talented !...lol you get the joke.
Cleanliness is next to inventiveness!
A really inspirational pair of videos Dave. What a great teacher you are. I love how your joy of building something so useful came through. The under $150 title part was a little bit of a letdown though, since the fantastic and brilliant tool to make the holes is about a $270.00 investment by itself, at least here in the states anyway. I am so glad that we found your channel. We signed up strait away. Thank you again!
Thanks for watching Larry. Some people join together and buy the parf guide system as a community item and share it as they will more than likely use it once only. 10 people turn it into a $27 tool.
Thanks for this. The best instructional video I’ve ever seen on UA-cam.
Thanks for the compliment Rim Veitas!
Mate!! Thanks for this! I’ll definitely be having a crack at this whilst I’m off work for Christmas!!
Thanks Ritch Partridge!
this is what happens when you get your shit together. im still using saw horses and a workmate.
genius my friend!
Thanks graham!
Hi Dave, I'm a festool fan and user.However I don't have to use my festool tools every day hence I'm not desperate to but a festool bench especially after I found out how much it is.Then I came across with your video.I defo going to use some of your tips.Thank you.
Thanks Tomasz Ignielnicki!
Great idea Dave. Gives lots of food for thought. I just need a bigger table now!
Regards
Mike B
Thanks Mike. I am sure you are capable of building a bigger table.
Yes but not a bigger workshop!!
Cheers Dave
nice one davo...gunna make one when I get my new garage...subscribed ; keep the content coming. cheers mate
Thanks Paul!
Brilliant! Just brilliant, mate.
Nice coloured shirt!! Thanks Fredrik.
Some people are so talented. .....and then there is me.
Awesome video. Thanks
Make one samlol23. Then send me a photo! Thanks for watching.
Only just discovered your channel. I have recently moved to an apartment after retiring so no longer have the space for a dedicated workshop so something like this bench top would be ideal.
Plans available at my website. www.stantonbench.com.au
Hi Dave, good job and video, very clever tips... Cheers...
Thanks Sergio!
Brilliant idea and job Dave. Made one of these myself (99% copy of yours) with the exception I used wood threads. I bought a set of the Wood Whisperer's thread cutters (both metric and imperial) that have a much tighter tolerance than metal taps. That way I can flip the table, screw in the risers and cookies from the "bottom side" and now have a raw surface to use my Festool track saw on. As long as I keep the depth to 1mm+ sheet good thickness I don't do too much damage to the table bottom and preserve the track and the anti-slip strips in tact. Using the bench dogs to position the track it will be in the same spot all the time (may need a little fiddling lining up the sheet) but the kerf in the table will be in the same spot.
Well done Alex! Flick me some photos to davestantonfans@gmail.com and I will put on the live stream.
This is an incredible setup man!
Thanks for watching Bobby!
Love your work David . I am from oz and sometimes it's hard to get some of these bits and pieces. But can only keep trying
Stephen. I purchased all of this stuff in Australia from Carbatec
David Stanton Thanks David I didn't pick the accent.lol. I'm a big fan and have subscribed. Look forward to watch more of your videos. Jus t stumbled upon your page. I'm on central coast of nsw , so carbatec Sydney is the go. Thanks
I have been waiting for a jig that does this, and I think this is my Christmas present.
Thanks David Crook!
