    This has to be the best 30 minute woodworking video I have ever watched. Cinematography was excellent, narration matched what your were doing, no run on's, no anoying music when it was present I hardly noticed it, which is how it should be. I love how when you make a mistake you show it, it makes the beginner feel like a normal person. Most of all the subject and instruction were helpful. I am inspired to produce content like this. Great job.

    I'm a retired engineer that took great pains to design tools and fixtures that met specific needs as well as be flexible enough to meet future ones. Your ability to identify a need, create elegant solutions and build them with extreme skill and care was a pleasure to watch. You have a rare and wonderful mix of skill and talent ... you are a true craftsperson. Cheers

    I applaud you for crediting the videos that inspired you. So many times I see videos that people present ideas that are their own but are inspired (sometimes blatant rip-offs) by other's designs. Everyone likes to take the best ideas and try to combine them into their design. It's also convenient that you posted them to give us inspiration or a design that we like. 🙂

    First time watching your channel and my first thought was, "You really have a well equipped shop!" I have been a finish carpenter for 25 years and mostly I carry a portable shop in my van and I set up what I can on each job, depending on available work area. Mostly, I build stairs and balustrades, custom doors and some built-in furniture. My shop at home is only a table saw, a drill press and a workbench. I have been making so much for so long with so few tools that I am now able to build almost anything with nearly no tools! You do nice work and I like your presentation.

    Great video. Clear visuals, concise narration, and perhaps best of all the background music was not annoying! I've been combing through videos and articles on drill press table builds for the past week, with the intention of "stealing" the best ideas I come across. Unfortunately, most of these builds are simply regurgitations of the same tired ideas. You have presented 3 ideas that I haven't seen before: the miter-gear elevation crank, your use of magnets for mounting the extended table to the drill press's metal platform, and the tilt-down extension wing are all concepts I'm going to include in my own build. Thanks for posting this!

    You are so OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), and that is a good thing, for a maker & carpenter.. loved the build.. I'm a retired master carpenter (I have detail related OCD (I'm a perfectionist))
    I was a carpenter back in the day, way before computers or even phonematic nail guns or any battery tools.. Lots of tricks of the trades were lost, cause most tradesmen never shared their tricks with anyone, but they're apprentices and children.. Thanks to youtube and the early DIY shows on PBS, most of the old skills, methods & tricks won't be lost, also love watching the younger generation with a passion to build & create with they're own hands..

    One idea for Drilltable or Fence MK2.
    When i made my Drilltable I decided to keep the fence low.
    Because sometimes you will use small Drillbits too.
    It´s bad when the drill chuck touches the fence.

  • @mravx2993

      Valchromat is similar to MDF, but you could also look for a pure plastic alternative by using the search terms "Recycled Plastic Lumber", "Recycled Plastic Wood", etc.

    Very nice setup. The off set replaceable insert was a great idea. I have one like that I made and it has a small square insert in the middle. I should be able to make mine round and off set like yours. My Fence does not split, I just take it off if I need full death. One thing mine has is the Drill head can move forward about a foot so I have a 90 degree surface in front with T tracks and hold downs clamps. This allow me to drill dowels holes in the end of stock if the parts fit from the table to the floor.
