One thing I think that stands out with your table, is the tools are actually at appropriate heights for being used. As in all tools are at the right height to utilize the table as feeding/outfeed surfaces. VERY well done IMO.
Amen to THAT! And, absolutely NO ONE talks about that. And, while the “right” height, can be somewhat subjected, it would be nice to see someone talk about the height, and relation to other tools, as a subject in and of itself. This young man did a great job with this.
I’ve seen a lot of these benches in the quest to build my own. This is by far the best I’ve seen. It checks off a few issues for me. Dust management, compactness, multiple tools, just to name a few. Well done sir! You’re light years ahead of the other benches I’ve seen so far and I’m not trying to take anything away from those other folks hard way.
Thank you, and yes that sounded bad. I'm very blessed and grateful to have the space I do. I meant as in a comparison to a designated wood shop or professional space.
I'm sure you are loving the extra space and increased productivity! Being a retired design engineer I am very impressed with your work, one of the more functional wood working stations I have seen to date.
Hey buddy, firstly great job! Secondly, that outcome (the workstation) comes from well identified issues, thoroughly thought out problem solving and execution with serious detail. It’s a monster and if only I had that level of thought, ability and skill. Thanks for the vlog, definitely inspiring.
I have a 10' x 20' shed. Along the walls were my miter saw, drill press, band saw, sharpening station, shelving for additional tools, lathe, compressor, vacuum, trash receptacle and in the center of the shed was my table saw with workbench/outfeed table. No room to maneuver. I saw a video where this guy was set up in a shop and had three tools concealed on hinges to swing up for use. I gave my brother in law my table saw and workbench and built a bench that housed five tools, band saw, drill press, grinder, miter saw, and surface planer. I used a 4' x 7' birch plywood top with 180 degree hinges to conceal my tools and vacuum. I bought a portable table saw and sold the attached rolling/folding stand, making a box with drawers to support the table saw independent of the bench and housing a router table between the fence arms so that I could use the fence on either tool. To support each of the five tools I used 3/4" plywood hinged to my bench frame and aligned them so that the surface planer and miter saw table was in line with the bench top. I made a plenum that I attached to the shop vac that allowed me to select which of the tools received the vac suction. Door hinges supported the fold down tools and we're also attached to 3/4" thick triangles to swing under the tool supports when using each tool. I also added drawers to house small tools and supplies and accessories under each tool. I have not yet completely enclosed the sides of the bench yet, that's next.
@@phillipreborn no problems, I used door screws to mount them to my 2x3 stud cabinet framework and made triangular hinged supports that swung under the horizontally hinged tool support and just raise the tool high enough to clear the vertically mounted triangles.
This is a great design. I've seen several done, but I really like this. The one thing I would change if I were doing it is how the casters function. Having them move independently will most likely cause the racking and eventually send the unit out of true. If you use a piece of angle iron or square tubing to connect them, it would cause the end to go up or down in unison rather than each corner by itself. Other than that, I think this is an excellent design. Well done!
Super impressive buddy, you’ve gone beyond the call of making something so diverse as this unbelievable workstation & ticked all the boxes, great work 👍👍👍
Nice job. Tip for you... When enlarging a hole from a hole saw, put the size you want on the arbor and then add the size it is now. Should be enough room to thread them both on. Now just put original hole saw in and the bigger one will cut the hole larger. This is especially useful when the center of the hole(s) needs to stay put. They pop apart fairly easy with a screw driver after. Enjoy.
As an engineer over all a great design, but i would take advantage of the gap between the hinged tops that i did on mine. Use a router t-track bit and route the gaps for a t-track hold down system. the only other is the absence of a vise. An end vise instead of the top mounted type with dog holes is a great add-on to any bench.
Great job, thanks for doing this. I've got a larger shop but it has multiple work areas (Glass, metal and wood) and this is exactly what I needed to create my separate areas and have my separate setups with my tools... Genius! Well done sir.
There's no way I could work like that; having to setup and breakdown every tool as I needed it would kill any desire to build anything. Kudos for working through it! Also, I've watched a few videos with builds like this bench and this one struck me as one of the better ones!
@@phillipreborn Still giddy as a school girl over your design. We all want that 4 x 8 mobile work station. I see great things for you. Add on lock in sectional pieces. I have to calm down. You have the ball, now run with it sir. Good luck and hurry before someone steals your....hmm...you need a catchy name also.
Wow, lots of thought and insights went into this build. Awesome work. Who thought about building the band saw into the table and stead of sitting on top of it! Fantastic.
I all seriousness I need to make something like this. We have a two care garage that doesn’t fit either of our vehicles. I would normally say that is a dream but space is at a premium!
Yes, this was very inspiring! I am in awe of the great design work & your ingenuity. It’s given me more to think about than being shot sighted in trying to solve individual workstations. Very well done. This video is greatly appreciated.😊
AWESOME build! I love the hand-drawn old fashion planning too. (and I might add, I'm incredibly jealous of wherever you live that you can work outside at night with your garage door open and not get eaten by mosquitos!) - Rock on bro!
@@phillipreborn I couldn't think about running a saw, my neighbors would be calling the H. O. A. the police the Mayor. They have nothing to do but watch, listen and report. Can't wait till our house sells and I can build a shop and get as far away from the granny gestapos as we can. One question for you, if you had a chance to buy a 2k radial arm saw for an incredibly low price would that be something that would be useful or something that is taking up space? Thanks for your reply, your work table was incredible, going to make an exact copy in about 5 months when my shop is built. Take care!
Ingenious design! I'm in the same situation where I have (half) a 2 car garage for my workspace. I've been researching bench builds that incorporate my table saw and at least 1 other tool for almost a year now. If I can get over how daunting of a build this is, I might have to give it a shot. Definitely earned a follow.
Very cool! Wish I had room for something like this. But my garage is for parking vehicles first, storage and work space second. So, I wouldn't have room to store something this big. For now, I'll just have to keep everything separate and do things the harder, more time consuming route.
I honestly thought that the way you were describing the Planer vacuum that it was going to be a mess but I was wrong, pretty clever design that looks tidy
Super impressive built. Only thing I'm going to add is that I built mine similarly in terms of framing and rough length and with just a 12" miter saw in the middle, that front lower 2x4 started sagging after about 9 months. I jacked it up in the center to take out the bend, then sistered 4 layers of birch to the front and that seems to be holding it for now. So watch out for that with this one and maybe consider beefing up the bottom 2x4 under the miter saw when you start noticing it.
Boy oh boy getting everything right is a must. I can imagine having a tool too low, and having product banging onto the exit plane, swinging doors getting out of hand and loosening up the screws/hinges but if everything was done fastidiously then what an incredibly space efficient system! I love that after you move it you can set it down on the floor and its solid as a rock. And you could plug it in and use the whole set up outside! A truly amazing design! You should approach a manufacturer and make them a deal. I would love to buy your system built for me! To build that would be like rebuilding a car from scratch - it would take me a year full of redoes...
Here is an observation you have probably already seen: @14:24 you are showing where your router table will go and the planer exhaust. The router table doesn't need to be very far from the edge. You could off-set the spacing so the planer has more room and the router table has less. You would end up with a longer door on the planer and shorter on the router table. It's a thought! I love your work bench. I'd love to have one that fits through a 30 inch door and is 5 feet long. That's what I'm trying to design and build. Thank you for your inspiration.
I know this is over a year old now, and I love the design as I too suffer from a 2 car garage. Some of my machines are older and therefore heavier, I think some incorporating some Gas pistons / Lift supports would help me with smoother (and assisted) lifting of the tools.
Thanks mate I appreciate that. Its my pleasure to share the build. Cool country you have there, I hope to visit someday. Have you seen the UA-camr "Self Sufficient Me"?
Thank you I appreciate the generous compliments. Here is a link to the plans and a link to a video that elaborates on them a little. www.etsy.com/phillipcreative/listing/955545412/simple-4x8-full-shop-workbench-plans?Copy&ListingManager&Share&.lmsm&share_time=1614306374860 ua-cam.com/video/UvVJFht_9Vw/v-deo.html
This is awesome. I neither have the money, nor need to make this. None the less, this is cool as shit and the special kind of genius that looks simple.
Fantastic project! Gas lift springs would be a good safety add on, prevent lowering “mishap”, (more me, than you). Thanks for sharing. Now, just need to get everything, and buy some time and skills...
@@phillipreborn Dood !!!! I would like to invest in what you have done. Every man wants that. Not sure you line of usage for that, but you can stop right there and tweak that baby a little more, not that i think it needs it but for mass production worldwide. Big Bro hug, You have solved 1 mystery of the world. Proceed to the Billionaires lane.
Man, this has really inspired me. Great design and thank you for posting!! I’m gonna try to come up with a similar set up for my needs now. This is truly great!
Great job. Very neat and organized. Looking forward to seeing the projects you will work on. The shirtless part of the video will get you a lot of attention. Take inspiration from Jamie Olivers the Naked Chef. :)
I'm so glad I found your channel! I've spent weeks looking at workbench builds, trying to figure out how to fit all my tools and supplies into my tiny 10' x 10' shed. I added an 8' x 8' deck in front of it so I could wheel my really old Craftsman table saw in it's 60-year-old plywood cabinet with drawers and a built in small outfeed table, It worked well in the first year of working in the shed, but more and more tools were added, then lots of furniture parts and other clutter took over and now I can't even walk inside. I'm going to make your 4x8 workbench and have a home for all my similar tools, and make everything else either have a shelf or vertical pull-outs and get rid of the clutter so I can use the space again! I can't wait! Thanks for this great idea!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I also have a small shop in a two car garage that I have to standup and take down. This seems to be perfect for my needs as well. Now to see if I can actually build it LOL. Liked and subd! 👊👌
I'm very new to the craft, but I've been looking for a not so difficult way to create a work table/tool storage. Like you said accomplishing this will be fun and full of lessons lol....Amazing job
Wow man this was incredible!!! I’m looking forward to seeing more of your content. I’ve never seen someone have so many unique and creative solutions in one build. Are you an engineer? Amazed man!!! Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much! I would like to be an engineer but no I am not. I got a lot of ideas from youtube then adjusted them to what I needed and the tools I had.
Wow 👏🏻 next level man! Really need to get something like this built for my garage. This has to be one of the most creative workbenches I’ve seen to date. Subbing and looking forward to more content!
this is amazing! I'm curious, if you could go back to the drawing board, would you move the plainer to where you intended the router to be and vice verse. I saw (see what I did there) the fence of the table saw could block large board.
Thank you! That is a great option to move the planer. For what I needed it made sense to keep it next to the miter saw and share a vacuum tube with the router. The fence on the table saw is removable. 👍
I have been watching these types of videos for over a hear and this one by far meets everything I was looking for. Love the concept and thank you for sharing your ideas. Do you have some type of a power trim helping you lower the tools? I assume it's not just gravity, correct?
Beautiful build. It’s been a few months, I’d be very interested in knowing how the dust collection worked out. It seemed to me to be woefully underpowered. Other than that, I dream of building this table myself. *****
All kidding aside, I'm finishing my workshop now and the space is smaller than I would've liked to have had. So this has really been inspirational. Fantastic job!
Ok, you climbed into my head and solved the puzzle. I have all these tools and have been wanting to do something like this but didn’t have all the details worked out yet. How about I fly you down to Florida and you help me knock this out? TY for giving my brain a rest.
I've used a really small Kobalt moter saw and one of their 18 or 20 volt (not sure which voltage they claim, even though they're all the same) drills, and I must say that I was very impressed. I've had nothing but crap experience with their hand tools.
Great workbench. Well thought out and versatile with a place for multiple tool. Would be overkill for my needs. I like the large work surface but I would only be needing the table saw and miter saw. I'm thinking though I could build a bench like that and add the other tools later. I have a small shed turned shop so I'd build mine to fold up against a wall. Very good work and video.
You get a sub and thumbs up for showing your normal (messy) shop space. The film crew & helpers, $10K tools, and 2000+sqft shop channels get old with their builds.
There's nothing I hate seeing more than someone working with power tools while wearing flip flops. It doesn't seem like a big deal until something goes horribly wrong.
I liked this anyway, however the video is unwatchable for me. Hearing the background music in both ears, while at the same time your commentary only being on the left side does my head in too much. Too hard to focus.
The smaller the shop the more important it is to make a workbench like this. My shop is 10' x 20'. With a full size table saw, full size bandsaw, 8,000 lb benchtop surface planer, large drill press, and a 3' x 7' assembly/workbench I had to learn how sidestep any time I entered tha shop. No fun, I couldn't even walk around my old workbench/table saw off feed unit. Since my shop was about 18" off the ground I was able to position my shop vac and dust collector outside my bench, the main hose running under the shop to a diy plenum that was connected to each new benchtop tool, my table saw, and my router table which was built to fit between the arms of my table saw fence. I plugged all my tools into an automatic vacuum switch. The diy plenum has 6 blast gates mounted to it's top side, no debris to block the gates. I can rip full sheet plywood or 8'+ lumber and have off feed support for router, table saw, surface planer and miter saw, neat.
My man, you show some great joinery skills as well as carpentry and engineering. All in all, if I could follow your design and get it all in my 12X16ft shop and fit my basic budget I will be in heaven. This holds everything my dream shop would have. Aside a few hand tools drill press etc... But my man. You are over the top. Wish me luck. For me, this project won't be overnight. Most likely an all-winter project. With some carryover.
I want to see how the dust collection systems works. Love the build! Need to get one of these together for my new barn. No benches yet. Working off of saw hoses and plywood. Lol
Kudos for the woodworking and imagination. As a retired design/builder, would have been glad to have hired someone this thoughtful with attention to detail.
Great project, I like the ingenuity to keep all the heavy hitting tools in one spot like that. The biggest drawback to this system, I think is that it requires a bit of modification each time you decide you want to upgrade a tool....say a new table saw or planer.
Very impressive and inspiring, been out of the industry since 2014, evaluating the possibilities of something similar but different incorporating a radial arm saw, may just be an addition to my bucket list, lol. In any event,great engineering!
This does a great job of identifying a solution to a common problem. Now imagine if one of the major tool companies took this and ran with it? They could do things you can’t like put the dust collection ports in a good location and really integrate. If they were smart it would be somewhat modular starting with the table saw, bench, and dust collection and add on from there.
Didn’t think I would spend 26 minutes watching how to build a table but I was fascinated watching you work. Great design and execution. I’ll be lucky to get a shop vac crammed under my table next to the saw…
great idea, thumbs up on the video. the only issue I have is the audio was split and your voiceover is only coming out the left ear. I bought those very same casters from Amazon because of this video. thank you!
Thank you for ruining my idea to build a nice, simple table for my shop. Now, anything less than this will seem completely and totally inadequate! Phenomenal build. Super impressed my friend.
I love the this build idea. To have the the miter saw and the table saw on the same table is fantastic. Drop the table-saw's blade and you've got your self one wicked miter saw table that's 8' long.! Stow the miter saw, and you've got a 4' wide table saw, that has at least 6' beyond the table for run-off. And it has casters for crying out loud.!
Well despite all the great comments, it would be real nice to see if it all works, and especially the dust collection, you spend so many hours and me and many others needs an update thanks for sharing.
I like it I think it's neat forget a beautiful job I like the way you fixed it up and it made all the storages and things in place I'm going to try to make one myself too bad I don't have the plans and make it easier
I can tell that you spent a considerable amount of time, seeing how each tool could properly function at the same level. Great concept and attention to detail. Thank you for sharing.
“Only 2 cars garage”? I know I’m picking on words. But you really live in paradise.
Yes, I am very blessed. I meant in comparison to a designated work shop.
Seriously, one of the best work table ideas I’ve seen.
Thank you very much!
One thing I think that stands out with your table, is the tools are actually at appropriate heights for being used. As in all tools are at the right height to utilize the table as feeding/outfeed surfaces. VERY well done IMO.
Thank you! That was a very important part of the design.
That is very true super well engineered for sure
The bandsaw is the one that reallyu captures my attention!
Amen to THAT! And, absolutely NO ONE talks about that. And, while the “right” height, can be somewhat subjected, it would be nice to see someone talk about the height, and relation to other tools, as a subject in and of itself. This young man did a great job with this.
Am I missing something? Why does that stand out? How would it make sense to not have these things level with the table?

Very cool build, I am impressed and would love to build something like this for my one car garage shop. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks, I appreciate that. I hope you do build something for yourself soon!
Wow! That’s very impressive! Good work man.
Thanks a lot!
Very very clever. And the beauty is you're safely storing your power tools when not in use, all in the same design.
Very true! Thank you.
Love the build. For me though I want to see how you measured everything to make each piece fit
Thanks!
I know this is over a year old now, and I love the design as I too suffer from a 2 car garage. Some of my machines are older and therefore heavier, I think some incorporating some Gas pistons / Lift supports would help me with smoother (and assisted) lifting of the tools.
That is a good idea. If its in the budget I think that would be nice.
This is one of the best designs I’ve seen. A really good job. Thanks for sharing 👍😎🇦🇺
Thanks mate I appreciate that. Its my pleasure to share the build. Cool country you have there, I hope to visit someday. Have you seen the UA-camr "Self Sufficient Me"?
Awesome build. I have a similar situation of a small shop. Would love to see the plans once you get around to it. I love your ingenuity.
Thank you I appreciate the generous compliments. Here is a link to the plans and a link to a video that elaborates on them a little. www.etsy.com/phillipcreative/listing/955545412/simple-4x8-full-shop-workbench-plans?Copy&ListingManager&Share&.lmsm&share_time=1614306374860

This is awesome. I neither have the money, nor need to make this. None the less, this is cool as shit and the special kind of genius that looks simple.
Thanks for the feedback.
Fantastic project! Gas lift springs would be a good safety add on, prevent lowering “mishap”, (more me, than you). Thanks for sharing. Now, just need to get everything, and buy some time and skills...
My pleasure to share the build. Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Amazing job. So clean and functional. Being able to move this station outside is a game changer!
Totally agree! Thanks.
This is SO SMART. 🙌🏼
Thanks!

@@phillipreborn Dood !!!! I would like to invest in what you have done. Every man wants that. Not sure you line of usage for that, but you can stop right there and tweak that baby a little more, not that i think it needs it but for mass production worldwide. Big Bro hug, You have solved 1 mystery of the world. Proceed to the Billionaires lane.
Man, this has really inspired me. Great design and thank you for posting!! I’m gonna try to come up with a similar set up for my needs now. This is truly great!
Awesome! Thank you!
Great job. Very neat and organized. Looking forward to seeing the projects you will work on. The shirtless part of the video will get you a lot of attention. Take inspiration from Jamie Olivers the Naked Chef. :)
Thank you!
I'm so glad I found your channel! I've spent weeks looking at workbench builds, trying to figure out how to fit all my tools and supplies into my tiny 10' x 10' shed. I added an 8' x 8' deck in front of it so I could wheel my really old Craftsman table saw in it's 60-year-old plywood cabinet with drawers and a built in small outfeed table, It worked well in the first year of working in the shed, but more and more tools were added, then lots of furniture parts and other clutter took over and now I can't even walk inside. I'm going to make your 4x8 workbench and have a home for all my similar tools, and make everything else either have a shelf or vertical pull-outs and get rid of the clutter so I can use the space again! I can't wait! Thanks for this great idea!
sounds good, you're welcome!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I also have a small shop in a two car garage that I have to standup and take down. This seems to be perfect for my needs as well. Now to see if I can actually build it LOL. Liked and subd! 👊👌
You're very welcome! I appreciate that.
I'm very new to the craft, but I've been looking for a not so difficult way to create a work table/tool storage. Like you said accomplishing this will be fun and full of lessons lol....Amazing job
Nice work man! This was very well planned out and neat!
Thank you for the generous compliment.
Wow man this was incredible!!! I’m looking forward to seeing more of your content. I’ve never seen someone have so many unique and creative solutions in one build. Are you an engineer? Amazed man!!! Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much! I would like to be an engineer but no I am not. I got a lot of ideas from youtube then adjusted them to what I needed and the tools I had.
Using the leftover knockouts from the electric boxes! You are speaking my language there!
They were perfect for the task.👍
Well done! I'm so happy my shop is 24' × 20' and it's still not big enough LOL!
Thank you! 👍
Great setup! I've been looking for portable inclusive multi-purpose (p.i.m.p) benches like this for hot minute. 📏📏📐✂️
Haha, thank you!
Wow 👏🏻 next level man! Really need to get something like this built for my garage. This has to be one of the most creative workbenches I’ve seen to date. Subbing and looking forward to more content!
Thanks a ton!
this is amazing! I'm curious, if you could go back to the drawing board, would you move the plainer to where you intended the router to be and vice verse. I saw (see what I did there) the fence of the table saw could block large board.
Thank you! That is a great option to move the planer. For what I needed it made sense to keep it next to the miter saw and share a vacuum tube with the router. The fence on the table saw is removable. 👍
Awesome design man! Wish I was as lucky to "only have a two car garage" as a shop
Thank you! Yes, I'm very blessed to have a 2 car garage.
Where in the hell was this video a year ago when I was building my work bench table. Nice job love all your tools in one place to work with.
Was but a wee thought back then. Thank you!
I have been watching these types of videos for over a hear and this one by far meets everything I was looking for. Love the concept and thank you for sharing your ideas. Do you have some type of a power trim helping you lower the tools? I assume it's not just gravity, correct?
That's awesome, I am glad to hear that. If you are referring to folding the tools down it is just gravity and man power for now.
Beautiful build. It’s been a few months, I’d be very interested in knowing how the dust collection worked out. It seemed to me to be woefully underpowered. Other than that, I dream of building this table myself. *****
Surprisingly the bucket head does pretty well except on the miter saw. A little more power is always better.
p.caballero_creative do the magnetic connections work well with little to no air leakage?
I like how you say "the moment you've all been waiting for" and then step into the shot with no shirt. Well, you're halfway there 👍😈🤭
Haha, funny how the timing worked out there.
What? He was talking? 😂 I must have been distracted.
All kidding aside, I'm finishing my workshop now and the space is smaller than I would've liked to have had. So this has really been inspirational. Fantastic job!
Nice build. Would have like to have seen the duct collector in action to see how efficient/effective it is.
Thank you! I did a 2 year follow up video where I mention the dust collection and vacuum.
Ok, you climbed into my head and solved the puzzle. I have all these tools and have been wanting to do something like this but didn’t have all the details worked out yet. How about I fly you down to Florida and you help me knock this out? TY for giving my brain a rest.
Thanks. Glad I could help!
All this impressive shit and dude’s got a Kobalt miter saw. Guess it proves that the tools don’t make the carpenter.
Thank you! I agree even though I'm just an amateur.
I've used a really small Kobalt moter saw and one of their 18 or 20 volt (not sure which voltage they claim, even though they're all the same) drills, and I must say that I was very impressed. I've had nothing but crap experience with their hand tools.
Don’t work with sandals. You gotta protect your beautiful tootsies.
indeed
Great workbench. Well thought out and versatile with a place for multiple tool. Would be overkill for my needs. I like the large work surface but I would only be needing the table saw and miter saw. I'm thinking though I could build a bench like that and add the other tools later. I have a small shed turned shop so I'd build mine to fold up against a wall. Very good work and video.
Sounds good. thanks for watching.
You get a sub and thumbs up for showing your normal (messy) shop space. The film crew & helpers, $10K tools, and 2000+sqft shop channels get old with their builds.
Thank you, it is much appreciated!
There's nothing I hate seeing more than someone working with power tools while wearing flip flops. It doesn't seem like a big deal until something goes horribly wrong.
Yep, safer shoes are recommended.
Shut it bro. The guy builds the most bad ass work bench you’ve seen and you talk about his flip flops.
I liked this anyway, however the video is unwatchable for me. Hearing the background music in both ears, while at the same time your commentary only being on the left side does my head in too much. Too hard to focus.
Yep, rookie production mistake. Stereo vs mono thing.
Offff tough crowd! I didn’t even notice the mono / stereo 😂 good video keep up the work :)
@@MRSCOTTZDyou didn't watch with headphones then. I came here to make the same comment as OP. Very distracting.
Do you have the blueprint for this build? I'm a beginner and I been moving my tools around like you did. Thanks
The smaller the shop the more important it is to make a workbench like this. My shop is 10' x 20'. With a full size table saw, full size bandsaw, 8,000 lb benchtop surface planer, large drill press, and a 3' x 7' assembly/workbench I had to learn how sidestep any time I entered tha shop. No fun, I couldn't even walk around my old workbench/table saw off feed unit.
Since my shop was about 18" off the ground I was able to position my shop vac and dust collector outside my bench, the main hose running under the shop to a diy plenum that was connected to each new benchtop tool, my table saw, and my router table which was built to fit between the arms of my table saw fence. I plugged all my tools into an automatic vacuum switch. The diy plenum has 6 blast gates mounted to it's top side, no debris to block the gates.
I can rip full sheet plywood or 8'+ lumber and have off feed support for router, table saw, surface planer and miter saw, neat.
Sounds good.
My man, you show some great joinery skills as well as carpentry and engineering. All in all, if I could follow your design and get it all in my 12X16ft shop and fit my basic budget I will be in heaven. This holds everything my dream shop would have. Aside a few hand tools drill press etc... But my man. You are over the top. Wish me luck. For me, this project won't be overnight. Most likely an all-winter project. With some carryover.
P.S. I would like to see more on how you hinged everything. But I usually overbuild. Thanks this will stretch my brain capacity for sure. 👍👍🇨🇦
Thank you very much!
I want to see how the dust collection systems works. Love the build! Need to get one of these together for my new barn. No benches yet. Working off of saw hoses and plywood. Lol
Thanks. Coming soon!
Great design! “Oh how quick, a board does slip, to crack a toe open wide”
Thank you! Yes, safety first.
Great job!! That had to take a long time to figure all that out. You should patent that table!!
Thanks!
Dude that’s seriously impressive. If you’re not an engineer, you should be.
Thanks!
Kudos for the woodworking and imagination. As a retired design/builder, would have been glad to have hired someone this thoughtful with attention to detail.
Thank you very much!
Great project, I like the ingenuity to keep all the heavy hitting tools in one spot like that. The biggest drawback to this system, I think is that it requires a bit of modification each time you decide you want to upgrade a tool....say a new table saw or planer.
Thank you, yes it does need to be tailored to fit your tools. I hope it inspires or encourages others who are building their work benches.
Very impressive and inspiring, been out of the industry since 2014, evaluating the possibilities of something similar but different incorporating a radial arm saw, may just be an addition to my bucket list, lol. In any event,great engineering!
Thank you very much!
This does a great job of identifying a solution to a common problem. Now imagine if one of the major tool companies took this and ran with it? They could do things you can’t like put the dust collection ports in a good location and really integrate. If they were smart it would be somewhat modular starting with the table saw, bench, and dust collection and add on from there.
that would be cool..
Jean at WoodShop Junkies built one of these. It's really a great idea for a small workspace. Great job!
Thank you very much!
my left ear enjoyed your commentary, nice build bro!
Haha thanks. Yep, rookie production mistake. Mono vs stereo audio channels.
You should build and sell them very nice!! With or without tools.
Maybe one day!
Didn’t think I would spend 26 minutes watching how to build a table but I was fascinated watching you work. Great design and execution. I’ll be lucky to get a shop vac crammed under my table next to the saw…
Thank you very much! They make some pretty compact ones now.
great idea, thumbs up on the video. the only issue I have is the audio was split and your voiceover is only coming out the left ear.
I bought those very same casters from Amazon because of this video. thank you!
Thank you. Yes, that was a rookie mistake. I didn't realize it was single channel for some of the voiceover.
Mate I really like that, especially the recessed magnetic ducting! great job
Thank you very much!
The Steve Jobs of table saw workstations!!! Bravo young man.
Thank you very much!
Thank you for ruining my idea to build a nice, simple table for my shop. Now, anything less than this will seem completely and totally inadequate! Phenomenal build. Super impressed my friend.
Thank you! Glad to hear it has challenged your work bench requirements.
I love the this build idea. To have the the miter saw and the table saw on the same table is fantastic. Drop the table-saw's blade and you've got your self one wicked miter saw table that's 8' long.!
Stow the miter saw, and you've got a 4' wide table saw, that has at least 6' beyond the table for run-off. And it has casters for crying out loud.!
I do like how it turned out. Thanks for watching!
Well despite all the great comments, it would be real nice to see if it all works, and especially the dust collection, you spend so many hours and me and many others needs an update thanks for sharing.
Noted. There will likely be an update soon.
Great design and build. Admire your freehand router work. Magnetic vacuum connection very clever.
Thank you. 👍
I like it I think it's neat forget a beautiful job I like the way you fixed it up and it made all the storages and things in place I'm going to try to make one myself too bad I don't have the plans and make it easier
Thank you, plans are available on Etsy, link in description.
All those tools in such a small space...and mobile too! Very impressive!
Nice 4Runner too!
Thanks! 👍
I can tell that you spent a considerable amount of time, seeing how each tool could properly function at the same level. Great concept and attention to detail. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching.
