I would say that Shop Nation sent me, but I've been a fan for a while now! Great ideas presented in an enjoyable format!
Thanks for letting me know you've been watching - I appreciate it very much!
Great videos Tommy, love your work and problem solving.
Thank you!
Really enjoyed your build
Я в шоке) что следующее воткнёте в старину, интересно)) 👍.
Genial!!! Impresionante!!! Gracias por compartir tus conocimientos. Me encanta ver como trabajas. Aunque no entiendo nada de lo que dices las imágenes lo dicen todo. Felicitaciones. Un abrazo desde Perú.
Really nice proyect!!!!
Thank you!
This is superb. Especially when you're new to woodworking and can't afford all the high end gear... :o)
Parabéns pelo projeto desta mesa de corte feitas e 7 parte, vai ser de grande valia para eu montar a minha mesa, obrigado.
Great project. Great job👌👍👍👍
Me: I cant get into wood working because i cant afford all these tools and i don’t have enough space in my garage.
Tommy: Hold my pin nailer.
😂 😂
Also, watch the heat that builds up on the sanding disk. You don't want the ply to start to de-laminate from heat.
I have a homebuilt sander that I've been using for over a year now, and I use it all the time. So far, no de-lamination. I have thought about adding metal to the face, but haven't got around to experimenting with that yet...too many irons in the fire, as they say. Anyway, I hope this helps!
I am impressed. A couple of questions. First, can balancing the sanding disk be done after the large fender washers and the sandpaper are attached? Second, can NEMA 34 motors be used instead of the portable items? Again, I am impressed. Not sure if I can raise my mattress high enough to clear the MicroShop, but it is tempting.
Thank you! You can balance the disk at any point in time, but be aware that every time you change the sandpaper, the balance will change slightly. It's really overkill at that point. For example, when you buy a disc sander at a store, every time you add a sandpaper disk, the balance changes slightly, but it's not enough that requires re-balancing...there is an amount of tolerance that is acceptable for every system. The main point of balancing is to take out the major lopsidedness of the arrangement to improve the life of the bearings. I'm not sure about using stepper motors for this. The point of steppers is constant variation (like in a 3D printer or CNC machine). For woodworking, you usually want only a few specific ranges of RPMs. With enough torque, steppers could work, but would likely be overkill (and expensive) for the application. Basically, it's cheaper to buy tools that are already built for this exact purpose. Anyway, I hope this helps! Good luck!
For the people who keep commenting that this is a pointless build and we should just get “proper” tools, I live in a condo with a single parking SPACE and a balcony about the size of a postage stamp. This setup is PERFECT for that, not to mention brilliantly thought out, and maybe instead of dogging on someone else’s work you should go and build something...
True. I have a small shed so this build is perfect for me. Excellent series of videos.
Do not worry of what the others say. You re doing a wonderful job. Keep it up. Thank you for a job well done. Best regards.
@@abdullahn.alfadaan9713 I agree..
this project seems a bit overkill, as in re-inventing the wheel, but I sure admire your skills and work. As always, a thumbs up.
Thanks for the thumbs up! As far as overkill goes, I'll give you some more background on this thing: I have a friend that is a total shop guy. He had an old school Bridgeport mill in the center of his 2-car garage (which took up about 20% of the total space), and every other tool you could imagine all around it.
He's also a boat guy. He would buy old boats, restore them and sell them. His ultimate goal was to buy an old live-aboard boat, fix it up and live on it. Well, he achieved his dream a couple of years ago, and downsized all of his equipment. He's been on the boat for about 2 years now, and has been working on it the whole time. It's a 1977 Grand Banks 42', and it's slowly gone from being just an old boat to a really beautiful piece of work.
I help work on it fairly often, and we often times have to pack up and come to my house so we can use the tools here. We were working on the boat one day and needed a table saw to make just 3 cuts. We didn't want to come all the way back to my house, so we made an impromptu table saw out if his cordless circular saw and a piece of plywood. It got me thinking about how many tools he needs on the boat, and how little space he has. He just has a circular saw, a small miter saw, various drills and battery operated tools, and lots of small hand tools. Even with that small amount of tools, they still take up a lot of space because of their awkward shapes.
The whole idea got me cooking up an idea for something that would take up less space than his current tools, yet do more than they do, and do a better job than they do. So this thing was born actually as a gift for him. And when I'm done with this serious (which is hopefully soon 😂), I'll give it to him. Of course, first I have to build a marine grade sealed container that doubles as a stand for the MicroShop.
So is it overkill? Maybe, but I couldn't find anything on the market that gave all the functionality of this thing in as compact of a foot print. I have seen some small "all-in-one" sorts of tools that have similar functionality, but they are all VERY small, and made from flimsy plastic. None of them would hold up to the sort of work required for a real job like restoring a 42' boat.
Anyway, I now realize that was a pretty longed winded explanation...haha. I hope it makes some sense though!
@@OneMinuteWorkbench gosh, thanks for the explanation.The Microshop is a wonderful project. I meant only the sandpaper wheel seemed like too much work (for me). I looked up the 77 Grand Banks 42' and what a beauty she is.
Maybe I over thought it 😂
Good job, man. I'm enjoying the series and how practical this station is. Keep on rocking!
Thank you!
Is it weird that I was worried on the wait? Been enjoying the series thus far! Keep up the good work!
How much wood is needed for this project? Which sort and thickness?
Could someone please answer my question? Want to know if it is available in the region where I live in, before I go out and buy the plans.
Hey Tommy, this whole series has been fantastic and I’ve been looking for a compact multi-station for some time. Before I go ahead and place the order for the plans though, I have one question. It seems that most if not all of the materials used have been sourced from Home Depot. I’m from the UK and am concerned about how to source some of the more obscure components, for example the bearings used for the sanding and jigsaw stations and the electrical switches that allow quick power off. Have you had any feedback from people outside of the US about problems getting components?
Steve, thanks for the wonderful compliments, and thank you for your interest in the plans! I haven't heard any issues finding components to use. For example, the bearings are just standard skate bearings, which are actually metric - even here in the states. You'll need a 5/16" rod (just VERY slightly under 8mm), but any metal supply shop should carry both. Again, here in the states, I can buy an 8mm rod as easy a 5/16", and I'm sure the same is true there...you just have to go to a metal shop, or buy one online if you don't have a good metal store nearby. The switches on the other hand will be different from what I have here, and I don't know a great deal about European switches. The plans indicated to reserve cutting the slots for the switches until you've purchased them, so you can measure and fit them based on the actual measurements. Alternatively, you can always find safety switches like the ones Darryl Bertie did here (scroll near the bottom, and look for the posted added on 1/17/2020 It has lots of images of his build, and the switches he used): oneminuteworkbench.com/project-photos/customer-gallery/ Darryl is located in the U.K., by the way. Anyway, I hope this helps! Thank you again!
One Minute Workbench Thanks for the quick and comprehensive response. I recognise the types of switches used and they would be ok but I liked the safety aspect of the ones you used where you can quickly power off by hitting the switch cover. I’m re-assured and will start searching online for suppliers of bearings and steel rod and will be buying the plans soon. What else do I do with my time right now? Stay healthy everyone.....
I'm in the UK (hello); do a search for NVR switches and you should find there are plenty to be had. These typically feature (a) a big off switch, and (b) a system that prevents them coming on automatically after electricity is restored after a power cut, or a fuse blew etc - even if the appliance was on when the power went out. You can also get bearings from eBay. Good luck with your build!
@@perlyking Thanks for the tips - much appreciated
Been building stuff my whole life You kinda remind me of me 40 years back but you have a lot more talent and skill, Enjoy the videos and always learning something new, thank you, keeping the brain active
Brain health is important, let’s keep it plastic!
This has been a fun series to watch. Thanks for sharing it and describing the successes and small failures along the way. Look forward to the next installment.
Thank you!
I like that this is so compact. Have you considered adding a couple of fine machine screws through the edge of the table supports to act as a 90 degree reference? That way you could keep the table folded down, but quickly lift it to precisely square for use.
That’s a great idea, thanks for sharing it!
Hex head and carriage bolts are both made with the body only partially threaded, so you could have used two of those instead of threading your own rods. You still would have had to cut the bolts to size though.
You are correct, they do make versions that have a smooth shank under the head, I just didn’t have any of those on hand (mine were full thread). I mentioned the option to buy smooth shank bolts and cut them down in the blueprints, but I should have mentioned it in the video as well. Thanks for pointing it out!
I just binge watched all 7 episodes and learned alot !!!! Thank you for your expertise !!!
Awesome! # 8 coming soon!
I work with a small scale cabinet builder on occasion. I'm primarily the 'gofer' and detail guy for the installs. He likes to take ALL the tools that might be needed on the jobsite, i.e.; miter saw, small table saw, drill, jigsaw, etc. I'm the guy that gets to load all this stuff. This little gem 'all-in-one' tool would be so AWESOME for him. I'm sure it will be in his future! And the sooner it is, the better for my back! :)
Also, I may surprise my DIY sister with one for her new house!
Tommy, I couldn't quite get the drill to fix and zip tight without moving. Every time I switch on the sanding disc, the drill will move outward for about 1/8 of an inch. Any suggestions to fix or lock the drill in place?
Send me an email to remind me. Include pictures of the parts in question and a thorough description - we’ll figure it out!
You deserve more than a like, it's a very very very good job. Thanks bro for your time and the knowledge you shared.
Thank you for the wonderful compliment 🙂
New subscriber here...Just binge watched this whole series and this thing is awesome!! I find myself trying to figure out a way to be able to raise and lower the table saw blade and that part of it would be perfect. Can't wait for the next video!!
Jeff, thanks for subscribing and welcome to the channel! I just lower/raise the blade via the build in functionality of the saw. There is a small lever that locks/unlocks the movement. Anyway, I hope this helps! Thank you again!
@@OneMinuteWorkbench Roger that...When I attempt this I'll make sure to get a saw that has that movement. I haven't had a corded saw in ages it seems LOL. Thanks again!
Thank you brother for your video !
What I like most about your videos is the fact of your extremely well articulate explanationing of your step by step instructions!!
These guys that show them building things ONLY by video with NO I instructions to me is pretty much useless and worthless, BUT you explain EVERY single detail step by step, This is a sign of a really Good Teacher!!
So thank you brother, another job well done!! 👍
Thank you! I’m glad you’re digging my videos!
Wait... is that it? Noooo.. Its Easter, I'm on a lockdown, got no job to go to, this corona thing, I'm not even allowed to go out! I've watched all the Netflix episodes, this is going make me insane!!!!
Lol...keep your shirt on, Don. The last parts coming soon!
Hi Tommy, I'm soon gonna be full time rv'ing and was just telling my wife that I need to create a very compact portable shop to set up for small projects to keep my hands on wood while traveling (this is extreme downsizing). This seems to be the perfect solution. But I do have a couple of questions before springing for the plans. 1. How long ago did you build this? 2. Have you used it much and does it seem to be holding up and staying relatively accurate? 3. Have the plans been updated to reflect your adjustments of the small errors shown in the videos? I was thinking about just using some of the portable tools (various brands) that I already own, but after watching the videos, it seems that to use the tools remotely would as well as in the unit might be impractical. Do the Harbor Freight (Chicago Electric) tools tend to hold up well?
One last thing.... I'm assuming you designed this yourself...Good engineering work... And also thanks for the detail in the videos...
Thanks
I don't say this about many, probably because I am self adsorbed and cocky, but this cat is beyond clever bordering on genius.
Go easy on the compliments, I’m not going to be able to fit my head through the doorway 🤣
Very nicely done Tommy! I like how you explain details of what you are doing & how you alter minor mistakes on the fly. Great job............. 👍👍
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Hey Tommy. I'm from México. I really like the serie of videos about microshop you've shared. I 've been watching them many times. I want to build that one because I have no room in home for a big work bench. Thanks you
I'm glad you've been enjoying the series! If you do tackle this project or one like it, I wish you the best of luck!
Thanks so much
thank you very much ; it is just perfect
Pretty fantastic job, dude! It's looking amazing! 😃
Rather than make your own partially threaded rod, get some shoulder bolts and cut them to fit your needs.
Indeed that is a good option - thanks for sharing!
Son...You are an Absolute genius...I hope a great future for you...
Thanks for the compliment, but my girlfriend is right here and she has reassured that am not a genius 😂
@@OneMinuteWorkbench my own Father would have been proud of you..I know that not too many people can do what you did..Thank You again..
That's a wonderful compliment! Thank you very much!
OMG I love that bench ... Awesome
Thank you 🙂
Great job! And you're right, the sandpaper disk will fall off the plywood shortly - then you will apply varnish to the disk surface :-)
Thank you for your comment. Am thinking about crafting some wedges or four-sided devices to be covered with Velcro (edges only) and was thinking about how to attach the fabric. Now it's a matter of varnish or shellac.
your videos are truly amazing you are one of my favorite woodworking champ :)
Thank you!
Hebat
Not only does it look great but it is a excellent idea. Thanks for making this series.
Thank you, John!
Hey Tommy, how are you? I am a big fan of what you do on your channel, but I hope you will add Arabic translation to your clips so that we can benefit well. Thank you, I wish you luck.
Thanks about making this. I think you had mentioned in a previous video designing one for better dust collection. Is that still on the table?
We'll see...I've got to get through this one first 😂
@@OneMinuteWorkbench no problem. What would you do to add better dust collection using a shop vac with a small separater?
I'm not 100% sure yet, but I've kicked some ideas around. Ideally though, you'd want to seal the whole box so that you only needed one vacuum attachment. I hope this helps!
What more can you add to that, The router, Saw and drill press should have been it. Now all of the other stuff is just showing off lol. A sander and a jigsaw.... Bruh, extensions.
😂
Use CA glue, its faster and easier than clamps, pins, etc..
I use CA for certain applications, but find PVA to be the standard for most woodworking tasks. For one, it's longevity is better, but it's also a lot cheaper, especially if you're applying a lot of glue. Either way, thanks for sharing that suggestion - CA glue is really amazing for certain tasks.
Actually, you use CA with the PVA. You use the CA as the clamp. Use mostly PVA, with gaps left for CA. The CA holds it while the PVA sets up. Just another technique.
Interesting - I'll have to give that a try!
Great continuation of this project. How are Harbor Freight tools holding up?
So far so good, but I haven't really used it that much...I've spent almost every waking hour editing video since the build 🤣
@@OneMinuteWorkbench Thank you for the information and I look forward to the video.
I'm surprised that a smaller diameter disk wasn't needed for proper torque. I can see now why an oilable AC motor with a connected fan assembly is normally used, either inside or outside the motor housing, for sustained operation.
I might be late to the party but do you have plans that can be bought?
Yes! Here's a link: oneminuteworkbench.com/product/microshop/ I hope this helps!
Hey Tommie does the disc sander need a very powerful hammerdrill to work properly or would a smaller, less powerful drill like the Drillmaster from HF be sufficient to power it?
This is insanely smart. Your problem solving is crazy. I love this series! It proves you don’t need to spend a ton of money and get a huge shop to be a woodworker. Thank you so much for sharing these
Thanks homie!
Really enjoy the thought process of the build. Having the table fold out of the way was awesome. Good job...
Thank you!
In your last video (#7) you mention changing the speed of the sander, but you have to change the zip tie on the drill which would be very imprecise. You also don't show where you located the power switches for the drill press and sander and the jig saw. Otherwise, pretty cool.
Bob, the speed of the sander is changed via the hose clamp. Since the hose clamp has a nut, it's easy to turn and gives you as much control as the trigger on your drill will allow. You can't dial in a specific # of RPMs, but again, it's as variable (or more so) than just about any disc sander you can buy. If you check out the intro video for the series (the one before the first build video), I give a better showing of where the power switches are. That said, they're basically the big red paddles you see in the thumbnail for the video. I hope this helps!
Can't wait to try and build something similar for myself.
Good luck!
I'm loving this build, I've got a two car garage for a workshop but it never seems big enough no matter what I do. I might just build one of these to help free up some space !!!
Finally got around to getting the plans! Excited to start.
Thanks for buying the plans, Robert! Good luck with the build - let me know if you need anything along the way!
I love how you actually start using the microshop as it starts to come together :D
I love woodworking! I really enjoy watching all your ideas which give me more ideas at my own workshop. Pls. keep doin a lot of great ideas like this. Keep safe bro.........Eric here in Philippines.
Thank you Eric!
Pretty Cool.
Thank you!
Great little workshop. Really enjoyed watching. 👍 Can't understand what bit of it is 1 minute. 🤔 But worth every minute.
One of the most satisfying elements of this build is the way you specifically designed the process so you could increasingly use the workstation to build itself! It’s like a low(ish) tech version of 3D printing parts to build 3D printers!
Wait... is that it? Noooo.. Its Easter, I'm on a lockdown, got no job to go to, this corona thing, I'm not even allowed to go out! I've watched all the Netflix episodes, this is going make me insane!!!!
How do you detect the heavy spots ?
Just rotate the disc and let it come to a stop. You’ll see it start to do a pendulum motion, and will also come to rest with the same exact spot at the bottom...that’s the heavy spot. I hope this helps!
Thanks for sharing that, well done!
Hi, Tommy. This is fantastic! I just watched the whole series, and I’d love this, particularly because I don’t have a shop. I have to set up tools on the patio whenever I do something. So, what are the chances I could pay you to build one of these for me? Serious as a heart attack. Let me know. Thanks!
Jim, thank you very much for the wonderful compliment - I'm glad you dig it! The chances however, are slim to none 😂 I have thought about doing flat-pack kits (via CNC) for this build, and I know there is a growing interest in it, but haven't fully fleshed out the idea yet. Might do a kickstarter...we'll see!
@@OneMinuteWorkbench A flat pack kit would be outstanding! I'm fine with going to HF and getting the tools or using some of the ones I already have, but how much better it would be for me to simply assemble a kit! I can only get so accurate on the patio, and who has the time? If you choose to do it, I'm your first customer! Thanks, Tommy!
Apply the glue to wood instead of paper
Nice one man i enjoying this video end i want an idea thanks
Nice Work
Thanks
Thank you!
How easy is it to change the blades once you have it all installed?
It's not too bad once the throat-plate is installed - it's pretty much like any other. The throat plate installation is part of the final video (part 8), which will be released very soon!
hello,
Nice design and work
what kind of precision in width cut can we expect ?
Best
Thank you! As far as precision goes, it'll beat the line thickness on the adhesive tape measure. I'd say easily 1/32nd, and if you set your blade with a caliper, about 1/64th or slightly better. I hope this helps!
@@OneMinuteWorkbench Thanks your works are really inspiring.
Love it ,need to get a Patton, and sell it to a company that can make that with precision, GODS SPEED,
Is there just one on/off switch? Are each tool turned on/off with this one switch?
In the completed version, each tool has its own switch. In this video, I hadn't gotten to the point of making the switches just yet though. Check out the features video here, which will show them a little bit better: ua-cam.com/video/yIOhdHGaB9g/v-deo.html
Inspiratif
Thanks!
Pretty impressive, did you come up with the idea on your own or inspired by something else?
Perfect lath machine.
What is that "punch" that you use sometimes to tap in t-nuts?
Hey Tommy, I'm not sure what you're referring to...could you give a specific example?
@@OneMinuteWorkbench I can't find it, guess I was dreaming, sorry
No worries! Let me know if you find what you were talking about.
@@OneMinuteWorkbench I think he means the Black thing at 5:40
That is a steel tube that just happens to be about the same size as the outer race of a skate bearing. It came from a car jack I have. If I didn't have that, I'd probably use a wood dowel to remove the bearing. Anyway, sorry for the late reply. I hope this helps!
I love this series...
Thank you!
Perfect
HIII, im your 165000's sub!!!
😎
Uma máquina perfeita, ótimo trabalho.
Superrrrrr..rrrrr !!!!!
Why your video is titled “one minute work shop when it is actually over twenty-three minutes? Just wondering.
The channel is called One Minute Workbench because everything I build for my shop can be setup and ready to use in under a minute. I have limited space, so I don’t have room for a full shop. I found that setup time was long enough to usually keep me from even starting projects (or at least it was a pretty good deterrent), so I designed a workbench that had everything I needed, and only took a minute to setup. From that point forward, every time I add something to the shop, I make sure it never takes more than a minutes worth of setup time, and that keeps me motivated to get started when there’s a job to do. Anyway, I hope this makes sense!
Your handling/working with the steel rods and wood which is clamped into your vice needs more practice to be honest. tbh.
You're clamping workpieces waaay to far from "the point of action". This results in high vibration and therefore unclean cuts and/or in the case of bendable things like the rod - bends.
Always clamp you workpieces as close as you can to the point where you want to work on it. Always.
I've seen this in the other parts before already, but now I can't take it anymore :D
Nevetheless it's a clever built wich can be attractive to people with very limited space or who just want to get into woodworking for the first time as nothing in this project is really expesive.
Amazing series. Cant wait to get started
Thank you, and good luck!
All in one 👍
FANTASTIC MAN
It looks awesome
Thank you!
👍 👍 👍
Nice
So great
Thank you!
I like it a lot.
Thank you!
Look, I think this is a pretty dumb thing to build, but you show great skills doing it.
😂 thanks for the....compliment? 😂
@@OneMinuteWorkbench It is understood by most experienced woodworkers that multi purpose tools do not function as well as separate ones that are each dedicated to one job. Nonetheless, you are a very skilled craftsman.
Ah, I gotcha. I would agree; multi-tools are less efficient and not as well-suited for tasks as dedicated tools. I did my best with this one to create a situation where not a lot of "set-up" and "tear-down" was involved in switching from using one tool to the other (to combat the efficiency problem). I also did my best to make the functionality of this thing to not be compromised due to the fact that it is a multi-tool (for example, with the support arm, it's actually more capable of cutting larger pieces than my DeWalt contractor's saw). And even though building (a good) compact multi-tool is a tough thing to accomplish, I do think it's worth pursuing - there are a lot of people who don't have space for dedicated tools (people who live in tiny homes, apartments, van's, etc.), and most of what's available in the way of compact multi-tools are complete garbage. I actually built this one for a friend of mine that lives on a boat. It was his experience that got me thinking about this in the first place. He's more of shop guy than even I am (he had, all the woodworking and metal working tools you could want, plus a 2-ton Bridgeport mill sitting in the center of his 2-car garage 😂). When he moved to the boat and began repairing it, he had to downsize everything, and switch to using small portable tools. Needless to say, it was quite a transition for him. We were working on his boat one day and needed a table saw, to save us the trouble of driving to my house, we fashioned one from a cordless saw and a sheet of plywood....now there's this thing 🙂 Anyway, I'll end my rant now 😂 I hope this gives you some background on why I choose to go down this road, and I hope it makes more sense. Cheers!
@@OneMinuteWorkbench Hey, good information, and nothing outside of the truth. You are right, there are people with very limited space who would benefit from having something like this that is compact.
“Hey everybody I’m another dad looking white male doing woodworking tutorial videos”
That being said, awesome project ! As someone just getting into woodworking (as a hobby) your instructions are clear.
....thank you? 😂 😂
