Hi , thanks for posting , I know how much work goes into creating these vids . Although I've been a professional cabinet maker for decades I love watching newbies and often find interesting solutions or work arounds. One thing that jumped out at me is the drawstrings from your hoodie dangling above your working tools , please consider your safety and remove the strings or the hoodie altogether. I once had a router bit eat the shirt off my belly in a moment of carelessness, I was lucky it didn't reach skin. That table saw blade would grab your string and pull you face first into the blade before you would have time to react. Woodworking is awesome regardless of your skill level and videos like yours help promote this to others , thanks again. Be safe.
Thanks, Jamie! I’m glad you brought that up - I completely intended but failed to mention that at the end that I wanted to give caulking it a go and see if there was any improvement.
your skills and hands on are great. time to believe in your tape measure. leveling track is fine, but if your tape says all the right numbers for your build. well your there, you can build any where level flat crocked, on site. nice bench. i'm not trying to be a jerk, but your skill is really good
Ok, I have 2 queries.. that is not MDF, it is chipboard/particle board.... Or is that what it is called over there? as I am in Melbourne Australia and we call that chipboard/particle board. Also, why not cut the suction hole round which would allow a better flow of air into the suction hose instead of just cutting holes with the Forstner bit and leaving all that excess around the sides, surely that will obstruct the flow of air and make the suction less efficient. Also my last comment is that the cutting in and out of the music and then you talk is very obtrusive, why not just have the music going but at a much lower volume and then talk over the top of it when needed, it would make for a much better flow of audio.
It actually works pretty great if you move away from the face with the port, the only kind of dead zone I’ve noticed is if you move away from the hole along the face (to the left bottom corner). I’m thinking as an upgrade later, I could make a slightly more graded vent angle to approach the issue.
the music is unnecessary and annoying, the fact that you didn't make the circle you cut for the duct a full circle was annoying, everything else was good. subscribed

Love the splashes of color! 🧡💛💚
Well done. What a cool project. But also with a good video. Good shots, well paced, good mix on the sound/music and and a useful end product! Win/win.
Thanks so much, Bil!
this is a great idea! Could you also caulk the inside joints of the down draft box to increase suction?

Well Done!
Try drilling a pilot hole before sinking the wood screws; this will keep the wood from cracking. Nice work!!!

What a joy, skills!👏😎
Thanks, Jules! Kicking off a series of up grades - should be fun!

What pocket hole jig is that?
I envy you. Your garage floor is flat. If it's level, then I REALLY envy you. Nice work as always!
Haha, definitely sloped - but yes, glorious flat! Thanks, Chris!
That is a great idea!
Thanks, Ron!
This is great!
thanks!
Nice
No you are!
How is the suction away from the vent hole? Does it exist or just collect in the tray?

why does everyone remove the riving knife when ripping? is this like the YT carpentry version of tying an onion to your belt?
that's not MDF
