- Hey y'all my name is Doug I have been in the construction business all my life. At this time I do commercial high rise remodel that is why you see so many ladders, lifts, extension cords in the shop. My hobby and passion is wood working, that's what the wood shop area is for. At this time I do not build anything to sell, just for fun and gifts. I sure hope y'all enjoy all the videos. If you have any question i can answer, don't hesitate to ask! I will reply back to EVERYONE.
Thank you from Doug

I see these come up on public surplus auctions all the time. Love your treatment of this one.
When I needed a chip pan for a metal lathe I wanted to have a custom one bent and welded out of stainless steel, but it was far beyond my budget. Instead I bought a large stainless serving table out of a school cafeteria from a public surplus auction. I removed the base and flipped it upside down and chiseled off the ancient chewing gum and bolted it between the lathe and the base I welded up out of square tubing. $50 instead of well over $1000!
Hey my friend you're absolutely right you can find them at all kind of used equipment auction. And it sounds like you made great use of one. You could have kept the old chewing gum and casted in resin. LOL great repurposing idea buddy and thank you thank you from Doug
Doug is an alien!!! Do you recall USCSS Nostromo… that’s his workshop. He’s a very clever guy. Travel with him!!
Camille. I love it you've got me smiling. I'll have to look up. USCSS. Nostromo. And see what I find out. I've heard of Nostradamus. I'll give it a look-see thank you buddy thank you thank you from Doug
What a beautiful build and thanks for showing the construction. I’m fascinated by the stainless steel work surface
Hosoi. Hey my friend so great to hear from you and sorry it took so long to reply. I appreciate that that was a lot of fun to make and boy does it work great. And thank you thank you so much from Doug
The word you were searching for was Lug nut. One of my favourite insults.
That's awesome my friend thank you for the smile. And I appreciate the input buddy. I hope you enjoyed the video and thank you thank you so much my friend from Doug
It must be a Christmas Special-three new videos in one day. There were lots of tips in this one for woodworkers. One more before the holidays?
Pat thank you buddy thank you a million I appreciate that my friend. I'm sorry it took me so long to respond. For some silly reason UA-cam was holding back on this comment. In the held for review section I don't know why. But thank you my friend thank you so much. I'm so glad you liked it buddy from Doug
Oh this is right up my alley. I've been doing stainless steel topped tables since I was around 27 - I even put warming elements in them. A ~78 degree working metal surface is sooo good to work on. The inspiration for this came from a big energy machine shop where they were doing insanely large parts for energy sector - people who did the layouts on giant cast steel parts had gigantic precision ground iron surface plates and they were heated from the bottom. Why? Because even in summer you couldn't rest your hands against the surface plate for very long and they were at the surface plate the whole day - the warpage of the surface plate due to heat was insignificant in a sense because you don't dabble in thousands of an inch when you're doing outlay for giant castings that have a lot of extra meat on them for machining.
I'm so glad to hear that you like it and thank you thank you my friend so very much. I have stainless steel work counters in my general purpose section of the shop. I didn't show him on this video but you can see them on my shop tour video. I've never thought of heating them though. When you live in Houston you don't worry about heating anything you've got heat all the time. 😃 But I can understand. and thank you thank you so much for all the input and information I appreciate that very very much. It's an easy quick way to build a stainless steel top cabinet. And it works great for me. Thank you my friend thank you so much I appreciate you reaching out. And I hope you enjoy all the videos. Take care and stay safe and again thank you so much from Doug
@@fleetswoodshop3339 The machine shop was kept at 65F the whole year - even 65F is too cold for large metal surface in constant contact with bare hands the whole day.
@@chronokoks yeah that sounds like that would be a bit too cool and thank you thank you from Doug
Doug: Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Michael so good to hear from you and thank you my friend you are very welcome it's my pleasure and I'll keep them coming buddy thank you so much from Doug
Awesome job Doug ! Very nice to see you again my friend. Thanks for sharing
Kevin very good to hear from you my friend I hope you're doing okay and all is well thank you buddy thank you so much. I put out three videos today. I had two ready but I had forgotten about them if you can believe that. I appreciate it buddy very much Merry Christmas and happy New years and thank you so much from Doug
I love those corners! And the chamfered corners are also a great tip! Great bench! Thanks for sharing your knowledge :)
You're so welcome Miss Lucy thank you thank you Chandler corners are a wonderful easy thing to do. Thank you my friend from Doug
This is exactly what I wanted to do for a couple years now but just couldn’t figure out how, thanks for the video, perfect, I’ve had my stainless steel table for 2 years and now I can get busy, thanks again
James my friend you are so very welcome. Thank you thank you and if it gives you any problems or issues just reach out my friend. And thank you so much for reaching out right now I appreciate that that means a lot to me. Thank you buddy from Doug
I like those grommets! The hole thing looks good.
Greg thank you very much buddy thank you those are actually sprinkler head rings that I repurposed they work great for grommets thank you buddy from Doug
I am here to watch, because of the Bauforum24 video. Nice work Doug keep going! Greets from Germany
Andi. I'm so glad to hear that my friend thank you so much. I sure hope you enjoy all the videos. I sincerely do I'm so glad you came to watch and thank you thank you from Doug
impressive video and practical implementation of a commercial work top. Thank you, take care and God bless
EJ thank you buddy thank you very much I appreciate you taking the time to reach out. That works pretty well I've built several of those in the past. and thank you my friend thank you God bless. Have a wonderful Merry Christmas and a Happy New year's and thank you so much from Doug
I'm in love with this idea!
It sure works well for me my friend it's an easy way to get a stainless steel top workbench and I hope it works great for you too buddy thank you so much
absolutely BRILLIANT. Thank you Sir
Antony. Thank you my friend thank you that is so kind of you. I'm so glad you like the concept my friend really does work very well. And I hope you enjoy all the videos my friends. From Doug and thank you again so much
Hey Doug I know this is an older video now, but just thought I'd share something with you, being that you're always sharing with us. Those little nuts are called Acorn Nuts or Cap Nuts. Some people called them Domed Nuts or Crown Nuts. Barrel nuts are something different.
Also, if you have never tried PL3X Premium you should give it a try. Its a polyurethane based construction adhesive. Once I've learned about it, I've never gone back to Liquid Nails. That's all I use when installing my treads, risers and newel post. I think its way better. There's also a PL8X that is WAY stronger yet, but is much more expensive. It's actually overkill if you ask me. Anyways, construction adhesives have some a long way and they definitely have their place. Hope this helps you or others.
corners
Hey there my friend how are you doing. You can respond any video you like the never get old to me buddy great info buddy. And yes my friend I've heard of pl3x. Been using it for a very long time. It would just be away overkill on that type of project. Like you say it's very expensive. I use it in the commercial business everyday. And thank you for reaching out my friend you can come in on any old video anytime buddy.from Doug
Dang Doug, you do really nice work. Need to start taking notes during your vids. Liked that plywood chamfer trick. But loved the Padauk corner details you ended up going with. Hope you and yours are having a great holiday season.
Hey Mr t how you doing buddy haven't heard from you in a while hope you're doing okay. Thank you thank you I've used that little champer trick for years. Makes for great corners. So good to hear from you my friend. Merry merry Christmas and happy holidays buddy from Doug and thank you thank you
Brilliant Doug Brilliant
Thank you Mark thank you so much my friend. It worked out pretty well and I've used a couple of tables to do the same similar thing in the past and they're still going strong. A million thank yous buddy Merry Merry Christmas and a Happy New year's my friend from Doug
Awesome! I'm going to do the same thing! That corner chamfer is a nice ez way totally doing that!
You're absolutely right my friend chambered corners are very easy and make for a very pretty look. And I'm so glad you like it thank you buddy thank you so very very much. From Doug
Hallo Doug,
das war wieder ein cooles und auch lehrreiches Video. Ich freu mich schon auf die neue Werkstatt-Tour!
Bis dahin wünsch ich Dir und deiner Familie schöne Feiertage! ✌
Mathias. Hey there great to hear from you my friend. Thank you so much I'm so glad you liked it and thought it was informative my friend. I'm working on that woodshop tour. And some Christmas gift bowls that I need to get finished real quick. And I'll have them out soon I promise. And a million thank yous always great to hear from you. Merry Christmas and a very happy New year's to you my friend. From Doug
What a woodshop looks like with unlimited funds.
Geo thank you buddy thank you so much . I wouldn't say unlimited funds though. I've been working in and on that shop as I could for over 25 years now. And thank you my friend thank you so much I sure hope you found some ideas you could use for yourself. And I appreciate you watching I sincerely and truly do thank you buddy from Doug
Looks very classy. Would love to see a darkwood such as walnut to contrast with the bright shiny stainless top.
Thank you. Thank you. Your probably right . Walnut would look awesome there. I'll do that next time and thank you thank you so much. From Doug
Can’t wait to see those Christmas projects your working on Doug, thanks for sharing that bench, stainless is great for general work so you don’t damage your bench wood surface
Funny you should mention that I'm pouring some resin on those bowls as we speak. And yeah in certain cases those stainless steel tops work wonderful just wonderful. And as always a million billion thank you so very much I hope you enjoy them all my friend from Doug
Another awesome build, thanks for sharing Doug!!!
Thank you Danny thank you a million buddy I appreciate that very much that one was a lot of fun thank you buddy from Doug
Oh - nice! Well built! It would be great, that i come today to Houston to carry it to my home here in "Desaster politic korona Germany" So i can pay you direct in your shop :-) So many greetings, Jörg
That's awesome my friend. I hope you do come to Houston one day you let me know. would love to give you a tour and thank you. From Doug
As always... great job my friend! Best regards from Germany
Danke Ralf! Ich helfe Doug gerade in seiner Werkstatt. Video folgt.
Beste Grüße,

Hey there my friend thank you buddy good to hear from you did you figure out who responded to you
@@fleetswoodshop3339 @Andre Das hört sich sehr deutsch an. Ich find den Doug einfach klasse... ein total lustiger Typ mit unglaublichen Projekten! Ein Andre hat mich übrigens auf Dougs Kanal gebracht...
@Doug It looks like you have great German support in your shop.
@@RalfsBastelbude Doug ist ein absolut feiner Kerl! Videos folgen...
That is beautiful. That would go in my house, not the shop.
Johnny that's awful nice of you buddy thank you thank you it came out pretty well. I wanted to put a little more bling into it but my friend wanted it like it was. A million thank yous my friend from Doug
I’ve begun the process of building a portion of my 12x24 garage into a usable workspace. Being wheelchair bound, space in general is vital but limited and in an already small shed, I’ve had to change a lot of things along the way, make a lot of sacrifice, and alter my goals. I was going to build 12’x5’ exotic live edge tables (sarcasm) but as it turns out, I’ll be the best luxury bird house man on the east coast. (Also sarcasm)
Jeremy great to hear from you my friend glad to hear you're building a workspace. I know what you mean about being wheelchair bound I was having to use one of those for about a year many years ago after a car wreck. and I totally totally understand your frustrations there. And I know what you mean by making sacrifices. You ought to build that live edge table. There's a lot of good ideas on that out there my friend. I hope you found a couple of good ideas in the video. And thank you thank you so much my friend I'm honored thank you for taking the time to reach out. I'll keep the videos coming and you have a very very Merry Christmas and Happy New year's my friend thank you Jeremy thank you so much. From Doug
We always put cross members under the top and shelf. Like a lower case T. The leg channel should also be flat to flat...meaning the turn back should face down towards the ground not a hollow channel between the top and legs. Strange build...not even sure if it's NFS.
But that doesn't matter in a woodshop. 😁
Sorry I meant NSF not NFS 🙄
Thank you buddy thank you very much it worked out pretty good the way I do it. Can't get everything right every time but I try my best. I'm not quite sure what NSF means. But it's okay it works out and thank you my friend thank you thank you from Doug
Very nice 👍👍👍 best wishes from Austria 🇵🇪
Thank you my friend thank you so much Chris. Best wishes Merry Christmas and a Happy New year from Texas buddy. And thank you so very much from Doug
@@fleetswoodshop3339 Also Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you 🎄🎆
You're too kind my friend thank you thank you so much Merry Merry Christmas to you buddy from Doug
Great work I might try something like this for making a really nice router table
Chance that's awesome buddy work pretty good for me I hope it works wonderful for you. And thank you my friend thank you from Doug
Beautiful work!
Thank you my friend thank you so much that's very kind of you was a lot of fun to make too and I appreciate that buddy thank you from Doug

Good idea to build that kind of table in a better heavy table!
Good job done and happy holidays to you and your family too!
Greetings Ray
Ray thank you my friend thank you so much I appreciate your reaching out there buddy. That table was a lot of fun to build and it came out real Stout and strong. And thank you my friend thank you so much and I'm very merry Christmas and a happy New year's to you buddy from Doug

Now I take a look for your older vids...
Ray thank you buddy thank you so much I hope you enjoy them. and I hope your tree is full of new tools too my friend thank you thank you so much from Doug
I’m interested to see a review of your little metal working machines. I’ve been window shopping for a lathe for a long time
Rick thank you buddy thank you I'll sure show it to you and let you know exactly what I think it'll take me a little while I haven't used one in ages but I'll definitely get it out there my friend thank you. From Doug
Thanks Doug! That table looks like a champ! I bet that thing doesn't move much when you bear into it. Happy Holidays, my friend! Hope you and your family are doing well in Texas!
Brian so good to hear from you buddy how are you yeah it's solid as a rock my friend holds up pretty well and works pretty good. I did pretty good today I got three videos out. Caught up I had to finish that I believe it or not had forgotten all about. A very very happy holiday season to you my friend a merry Merry Christmas and a Happy New year's. And thank you so much great to hear from you from Doug
Hi Doug, Great video and a beautiful bench. The Paduk on the 4 corners is a lovely touch and looks fantastic.
Take care my friend.
Cheers, Huw
Huw. Hey bud how you doing my friend thank you thank you so much it worked out real nice my friends got it set up already and it all came out great. thank you my friend thank you and merry Christmas to you and your family.

Hi Doug good to see another one of your great projects again. As you know I think you are the DaVinci of woodworking so it's always good to see what you have planned next. Hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas and a great new years
Got you too much thank you buddy. Your making me smile smile😃😃thank you buddy thank you so much and you have a wonderful Christmas too. I appreciate that my friend. I don't know about DaVinci. But I'll do my best and thank you my friend thank you so much. From Doug
Very nice👍👍
Thank you Paul thank you buddy from Doug
And that's a big thumbs up from me!! Thank you so much for the video. I saw your large parts area with SS benches and I thought, I want wooden benches. However now I see how you made an individual table, I get it. As you explained at the end, it would be handy for some metal work, wet areas and areas where you want an easy clean surface. Loved the grommets, by the way.
Dave so good to hear from you my friend thank you thank you very much different bench top areas for different type of work it works out great for me buddy and thank you thank you those things make wonderful grommets I appreciate you very much thank you my friend from Doug
Just found you and your channel. I am already simply amazed with both your work and workshop. Keep up the great projects!
Anthony thank you buddy that is so nice of you I hope you enjoy all the videos my friend. And I'll keep the projects coming I promise you thank you thank you. From Doug
Another great video as always. Really enjoy all the lessons one can learn in each of these videos. Like the trick with the plywood chamfered corner. I'd love to see more woodworking techniques and tricks. All the best !
You bet you I wil.l so glad you like them and I'll keep them coming thank you very very much. From Doug
Hi Doug, I`m from Germany and I came to your channel after the video from visit from Andrè. Love to see how different sometimes the work methods are in the US. (And I try to learn from it, picking the best ideas) Interesting idea to cover that steel-desk with wood. Stay safe, happy new year!
Rainer. Hey there my friend how are you doing. Greetings from Texas buddy. I'm glad you got to see the video it's nice to see how things are different in other places huh. Thank you my friend thank you so much I hope you like that video and the shop touring all the videos buddy. You take care and stay safe my friend and thank you for dropping in from Doug
Great Job as always Doug I really enjoy you’re attention to detail . my wife would have that work bench in her kitchen and be using it for baking, I’m really looking forward to your updated shop tour and get some ideas to improve my retirement work shop. I really enjoy your videos thanks so much for making them . I hope you and your Family have a wonderful and merry Christmas.take care
Blaine it's so great to hear from you how are you doing. thank you my friend thank you it would work good in the kitchen. Makes great prep tables and baking tables I know what she means. I'm so glad you enjoyed the videos buddy I truly am and I appreciate you taking the time to say so that means a lot. I'll keep them coming I promise and a very Merry Christmas and Happy New years to you and your family my friend thank you thank you from Doug
I'm looking forward to seeing how that machining bench works out. I have limited space and have been thinking about getting a mini lathe and milling machine.
Bob good to hear from you buddy. I hope it works out well I've never turned metal before. But I want to do some small brass turnings that's why I'm trying to get set up. Watch some videos and see what I can do. I've been told it works well. The other proxton tools that I have are phenomenal I have no complaints with them at all. I'll be putting some info out on it my friend and thank you thank you so much. Have a blessed holiday a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New year buddy from Doug
HI Doug, please keep up this cool work! you're an artist and such a cool guy! many greetings from germany and merry christmas :)
Dodi. Thank you so much that is so nice of you. I certainly will I'll keep the videos coming and I love and enjoy the work so much. Thank you so very much for reaching out to say howdy I appreciate that. You are so awesome thank you thank you so very much Merry Christmas and a Happy New year's from Doug
That is a very nice workbench. Great idea using stainless kitchen tables for the framework. How do you like that mini mill?
Ken good to hear from you thank you my friend thank you very much it works very well for me. I've just recently set up the mini Mill and I've been doing a little practicing on it and so far I've been very happy with it. I've had several of those small croxton tools for years and have always been happy with them. So so far so good but it is fairly new to me. As soon as I get it all figured out I'll be doing the video on it. And thank you buddy thank you so much for asking. From Doug
Mükemmel işçilik elinize sağlık. Bende atölyemde aynısını yapmaya çalışacağım.
Hey my friend so good to hear from you again thank you thank you. Again you've caught me on the phone but I'll check it out when I get to the office and thank you buddy from Doug
My friend that's awesome thank you that craftsmanship and work took me 25 plus years working in and on that shop. And I hope you do the same I find it so enjoyable and thank you my friend thank you so much from Doug
Awesome Doug! Love watching your videos really looking forward to the shop tour and merry Christmas!
Jack how are you doing buddy great to hear from you thank you my friend. I hope you've been doing okay. I appreciate you taking the time to shout out buddy. And that is so nice of you. Thank you so much. I'm working on that video and some Christmas balls right now. Got to get them finished for Christmas gifts. and a very very Merry Christmas to you and your family. And I happy New year thank you thank you buddy so much from Doug
Well done! Love the padua accents and the detail. Your metal lathe work top is outstanding. Why the LED lights on the power strip? What purpose do they serve? With a wheeled bench are they needed? Looking forward for your shop update, can't believe it has been 1-1/2 years. Still enjoy that one.
Yeah my friend I know time flies by huh. It was the only power strip that I had handy at the moment. I plan on veneering the outside of it with oak I just haven't got to it yet so I use that one temporarily it was a spare when I had from the inside of an old toolbox lid. and I'll get that other one out soon I promise thank you buddy thank you from Doug
On the wood species list (link on last year's shop tour), what is the difference between # 2, African Mahogany, and # 70, Mahogany African? What is the difference between # 24 and # 25, which are both Bolivian Rosewood?
kenny thank you for asking its a typo on the list
Great shop table and as always very entertaining.
Paul good to hear from you buddy and thank you so much. my friend picked it up the other day and he loved it says it'll work great for him and thank you my friend thank you so much from Doug
Nice work Doug.. Did you happen to weigh that table? Looks pretty sturdy from where I am.. Well you take care my friend and God Bless...
Gary I did it weighs about 85 86 lb. And came out very sturdy. and thank you my friend thank you very much Merry Christmas and a very Happy New year's buddy from Doug

Can this table give an electric shock?
Hello Victor how are you my friend. You could shock yourself on any metal surface if you got electrical conducted to the table. But using electrical equipment on top of the table will not shock you no. most all welding tables and part tables are made of steel on the top. So no it wouldn't shock you all by itself like I say if you stuck on electricity to it it would any metal wood shock you that way. But I'll buy itself no it's a great safe table top. And thank you so much for asking thank you. From Doug
