    I've had the chance to use this table a couple of times now. It's fun to whip out in front of people:) I can see what people are talking about when they say the legs are delicate, but they're design to support a "mostly" vertical load, not be torqued from the side or pushed back into place. If you just let the table open or close on it's own and don't force anything, it works great ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh Once it's set up, it's pretty solid. My only gripe would probably be related to the clamps provided. They're not the highest quality. They do the job, so no big deal, but they could be better. All in all, pretty cool gadget.

    So, I got the plans and worked on my implementation of this great workbench. it turned out just as great as how you have it. it serve me very well because of the width. the 24" is perfect for my garage and I opted to keep the half with the Miter saw as a "permanent" Miter station to be moved only if I need to cut large sheet of goods. I changed the way they lock together by using a clamp lock instead of the magnets. I just felt they would have less movement this way, and could get the magnets fast enough :). I am now in the process of adding a Miter fence after changing the height so that the saw sits flush withe surface instead of above it, and a dust collection system of some sort. I have also added a small cabinet where I installed my Ryobi table saw on and added caster to make it the same height as the workbench, again for large sheet goods. So, basically with your great design, I was able to establish my woodworking workshop that I always wanted. all thanks to you for the great concept and ease of design. Thannks

    Nice and simple. I like that you show us how to build a work bench, and are not working on a work bench to build it, since that is what most people needing to build a work bench will have to deal with! I'd like to add in a jig to hold a fence for when you might want to use the cross cut saw in lieu of a table saw for ripping certain pieces. Excellent. I think this may be the bench I build.

  • @ronevans8238

    This is my new favorite design.
    I had 1 main question: how do you account for uneven garage floors effecting the benches joining together for a smooth top? I would imagine the 2 tops wouldn't align well which could throw off builds that needed both tops. Also, thank you!

    Of course, when I have an idea, there's a video already completed on it. Thanks for the walkthrough. I like your method of having the "what's happening" written on the project pieces as you're doing it. Keeps it simple and yet explains what's happening.

    The funny thing is that today I was coming up with a similar idea to use magnets to join a couple of smaller workbenches together when I needed it, and then while looking for small workbench design ideas on UA-cam, I came across your video which not only shows that it can work, but your design is possibly the best I've seen all day. Thanks for sharing your design and building process with us!

I have a garage that is used for other things too and, not just a workshop and being from across the pond from you, in the UK, its not really the biggest of areas to work and, I have been pondering over possible solutions but, coming up empty until I saw your video. Thank you so much dude and, giving a cut list too, is the icing on the cake. thanks again.

    What a fantastic video!!! Having a big bench is great!! I love mine!! Yours is 100 times nicer! I also have 2 sheets of plywood for my top, I screwed them together w/o glue, this way when the surface gets boogered up I still have 3 sides to go. I figure I'm good for 10 to 20 years. My shop is no showpiece, but maybe with a little practice, I might make a few pieces to be proud of. Great music too!

  • @wingman358

    I like the modular saw section. And the table splitting and tucking under the lumber storage racks is nice.

  • @sigpi222
    @sigpi222 4 роки тому +2

    The split design and the sunken miter section gives me ideas for a swappable miter/jobsite saw section. The back half of the table then can rotate to be an outfeed table already at the right height. I will say however, with the price of lumber right now, that doubled up 3/4 ply top is not a cheap option.

  • @michaelkulman7095
    @michaelkulman7095 2 роки тому

    I'd store the mitersaw on a waist high shelf or hang it from french cleats on wall rather than bending down so far. One advantage of this set up is it's easy to take the saw to a remote site and set it on sawhorses with planks across them.
    Also as you say you can make other inserts.These two reasons, other inserts and
    remote work keep me from going for a rotating set up.
    Thanks for the detailed plans!

    CUT LIST.
    G&G did not post exact measurements so I kept it as simple as I could. The following cut list is ONLY for the mitre station half of this project and will build a bench 96" wide x 24" deep x approx. 36" high (height will depend on size of caster you choose). Happy building!
    2x6x31 (4) "outside" corners
    2x6x24 (4) "inside" corners
    2x4x24 (4) vertical supports
    2x4x18 (12) cross pieces, including 2 for inset
    2x4x34 (4) top horizontal braces
    2x4x28 (4) 2 for base of mitre station and 2 for inset
    2x4x96 (2) long horizontal pieces across the bottom
    3/4x24x96 (1) plywood slab for base (I used oak plywood--very sturdy--so did not laminate the bottom or the top). You'll have to cut out notches for the casters but I just did that by eye.
    3/4x24x?? (3) the top slab you will need to measure and cut to fit your desired mitre slot. My mitre slot is 28" wide (fits my 12" compound saw) and centered in the bench, so the middle piece is 3/4x24x28 and the outside pieces are each 3/4x24x34.

    Man your Workbench Plans & Cut List should be used on every set of plans on the internet.I would have to make a very small version of this ,as my shop size is only about 10 x 15
    Not sure that I would use the magnets,Was thinking more in the line of a two blocks with a long dowel pins - eye screw to a small rope and if needed a cotter pin .Kinda like the way a folding futon locks together with dowel.But at lot more tight.
    Looking forward to watching more of your videos

    Very nicely done. Would challenge you to make that miter section a flip-top instead of a manual-move for the saw.
    I'm currently taking apart my static work benches built on top of 1/2 sections of rigid steel shelving and moving to this design. I want to be able to use as in-feed and out-feed tables, or snap together for large assembly or paint/finish.
    Thanks for the ideas.

    I'm a little late to the party, but I wanted to say this gave me some good solutions for a shop in a 40' container. 12' will be framed and insulated for reloading, batts and electric (for solar), and water pump and tank. That leaves 28', but my convertible will take up 17' when we are traveling. This design will allow me to use a section for an out feed, another for my miter saw, or side by side for glue ups and push against the wall when done or push them to the center of the container to get my car in. Thanks.

    There are two components on these how to videos: first is the content (in this case the workbench - very cool, and I am stealing some ideas). But the other thing is the making of the video itself (i.e. making it clear, to the point, and entertaining).
    Not talking all the time but instead writing what you're doing on the materials is another level of brilliant.

    I Love this design its simple but effective and you give very good detailed plans and cutting charts. If you have a large surface area like that its good for a “rip saw” Can you do a follow up vid on this showing how you would integrate a folder way rip saw.

    What is the music used, especially the guitar music at the end? Just built this a few minor mods. Very sturdy.

    Nice idea and I like the way you captioned the steps right on the wood. Very creative. I also like the idea of putting the bottom shelf under the frame; much simpler that way and gives some extra vertical space for internals. You must be from California; put on some shoes when you're working in the shop! Safety, safety, safety.

    I've been putting ideas together for a mobile work station. I almost laughed out loud when I saw you using a banquet table for assembly etc, (since that's what I use too) I built a table/stand for my job site table saw so I can use the banquet table for my outfeed table. The table saw stand when upside down allows the saw to fit inside for easy transporting or storage. I too still like to actually park in my garage. Lol.
    Nice build. I enjoyed the video.

    Great video. Thanks for sharing it. I'm going to try a scaled down model to fit the size of my work area.
