I have never had room for a large shop so I have spent years on the lookout for multi-function designs like this. I think that this is the best small workbench that I have ever seen. So much functionality in such a small space. Very nice work.
Hi Kevin, same here. I never had much space to work. I was stuck in small appartments all my life...until my very late 30s. I recently bought my first house after saving for decades (so now my whole life is about paying a morgage ;-P ). I wanted it with a garage...couldn't afford it...so...gotta make good use of the space I have, hence the need for such a compact and multifunctionnal tool. If I had the room, of course I would prefer a large cabinet table saw, a dedicated router table, and a large workbench for woodworking only...but yeah!
I’ve never seen anyone marking with a blade before then using the square. I think this is something a lot of people will start doing including myself. Great stuff
Hi, thanks for the view. I have spent a large part of my life not knowing about the basic idea of measuring and marking with a blade. But once you get the basics its really kind of amazing how such a simple technique can drastically improve your accuracy, precision, cut quality. Thanks to UA-cam and old school Paul Seller's channel. Thanks!
Loving the design so far, very sturdy looking ... away to watch the rest of the build 👍 Only thing I'd change is to make the corner pegs longer and have them held in place by the lower bolts ... I have a thing about being able to take things apart in case I need to ... in reality there is never any need to 😁
I really like this design, and the construction. My one issue with it is that IMO cutoff switches should be placed where you can activate them with a knee (or foot, but that means having two switches) whilst keeping both hands and your eyes on the workpiece, it's what i've become used to with my old Triton 2000 and anything else feels notably less safe to me.
Damn, your using the 12 layer plywood...thats for rich people lol I hope to be as capable to builds so precise one day...I have very little room and basically do woodworking out of a converted bedroom haha But I make it work. Thanks for the vid, you are very skilled!
Hi and thanks for the view. Indeed, it is pretty fancy russian birch plywood with thin plies. This type of plywood is great for furniture making, since it is pretty straight, and has nice finition plies on both sides. Regular plywood would not work well for this. The finish is terrible, and its never straight and full of voids. Hard to laminate properly, and very ugly. What is for the rich are these fancy hardwood wood working workbenches. I can't afford that, and i don't have the room, nor the tools to work hardwood. Too expensive. I thought of using MDF to save costs, but everytime used MDF, I ended up dissapointed. This is very cheap material. And nowadays, its almost as expensive as construction plywood, which is ridiculous. Fortunately for me, I was able to buy most of the plywood I needed at pre-pandemic price of around 80$CAD per sheet of 5' x 5'. Needed about 8 of these. I bought only 5 of them to start. The last 3, i bought at post-pandemic price, for about 120$CAD/piece. And its now almost impossible to find since this dumb russian war. It's quiet a shame, and it is theft if you ask me. I can assure you I am not very rich ;-) . I am single guy who lives alone and I couldn't afford to buy my first house until I was almost 40. My house is really not new. Still have a lot of work to do on it to get rid of its old 80's looks, which i can't afford, since I have to pay for it alone ;-). But after spending about 20 years in small appartments where i couldn't make any noise, I got fed up, and once I got the house, I did like you, and converted a room in a small shop. I wanted a garage...but can't afford it. I probably won't keep the house for very long, but i at least wanted to have a few years with a small workshop before I possibly have to go back to renting. My car is getting old, and I can't afford new payments on that ;-). I feel you, i keep whatching youtubers from the States and think "how on earth can they afford to own so much shits"...well, I guess this is what they call the "American dream". I sure am no american. Fortunately for me, the time i took to film everything allowed me to barely get this channel monetized for a while, just enough for the project to pay for itself. So in the end, it cost me almost nothing (appart from the router and table saw i already owned). Sorry for the long comment and history. I hope you enjoyed the video. I got to go back to house renovation now, and perhaps I'll do some more vids later. Cheers!
Mat, this has been a pleasure watching you put this together. Exceptional tool work, fantastic design (Best I have seen) I’m giving you a straight 10/10
This looks amazing. My workshop is my single car garage and I'm constantly putting away and getting out tools. I could see a little modification I might try where the Table saw is removed up out of the table where I could insert my mitresaw (in its own little box) and my planer (mounted in a similar modular box).
Very nice design. I am very slowly trying to design something similar, but my goal is that the saw fence is shared with the router, so it shoulb wider so i can also plug a hose for a vacuum cleaner, to absorb better the dust from the router. Also my goal is 1,6x0,8 m total exterior dimensions, so its nice to see that is an achievable target size, give the dimensions of your table. :) Now i have to see the rest of the series.👍
Hi Lance! Thanks for your comment. As you will see later in the build, my intent is also to use the saw fence for both the table saw and the router. And in the vents that I integrated, one is planned to be used to have dust collection at the blade, from the top of the workbench. Thanks again and i hop you enjoy the serie.
Hi Blake! Thanks for the comment! If enough people ask about them, i might take some time to put plans together. But they are currently pretty rough. Tks!
Tu es un artist! Vraiment impressionnant, un des plus beau setup que j’ai vu. J’ai le même banc de scie et cherche à me faire une table de travail de ce type. Est-ce qu’il est facilement démontable? Merci Mat et Bravo!
Bonjour @robertcreti6591 et merci pour le beau commentaire. Oui l'établi est démontable, mais pas démontable facilement. Disons qu'il peut être démonté pour un déménagement, mais pas vraiment sur une base régulière, l'opération prendra surement quelques heures. Mais c'est ok pour moi ainsi. Le prochain vidéo s'en vient dans les prochaines semaines. J'y travaille actuellement. J'ai aussi l'intention de partager des plans, donc reste à l'affut si intéressé. Merci encore!
Hi Mikkel, thanks for watching! I might share some plans if i have enough request. It would still be quiet some work to lay out some 2D drawing with the necessary info. I also found some mistakes in my model as I was building, so I have to fix a thing or 2. But I'll keep that in mind, and it's likely I will do so if there is interest. Thanks again!
@matsworkshop566 thanks for the lesson...pre-slicing the plywood is clever. I'll have to remember that trick. It looks solid...may I ask why you chose those materials? FYI...mdf is very toxic to breathe in the dust. It's made with formaldehyde among other stuff...please protect your lungs.
Hi fdort3971! Thanks for watching! I chose this plywood because its much more nice looking and straight than regular construction plywood. I think it looks great when finished. Its also much cheaper and easy to work than hardwood, which would have cost a fortune. MDF all the way is out of the question. While MDF has the advantage of being very stable and cheap, I also hate to work with it. A big part of why is the same thing you mentionned. It leaves a nasty dust. I generally wear a mask whenever i cut wood, especially with MDF. I may not always have a mask in my video, but i can assure you that I wear it almost everytime i cut this. I used MDF in certain area as a cheap filler material. Thanks!
Fantasticly overengineerd! I like this! 🙂 This comes on my 'later, when I'm really good, I'll make this' List. Looking forward to the rest of the build. 👍👍
Vraiment impresionant ! 35 years in the industry and I’m shrinking my operations, and your design will be part of my mobile shop...., j’imagine que tu Es francais comme moi.......on As le meme accent lol
Salut Secureteam! Merci pour le bon commentaire. Oui, je suis francophone. Je vis au Québec. Si des parties de mon design peuvent servir à en inspirer d'autres, tant mieux! C'est en fouillant à travers les designs des autres que je me suis moi-même fait mon idée. Et je suis d'avis que tout le monde a des besoins et des moyens différents. C'est tout à fait normal qu'il y ait de la variété et des adaptations. C'est aussi là que se trouve tout le plaisir. Merci encore!
Great build, love it. Question (from many), what is the name of that song/track playing from 7:28 - 13:55. I can’t wait for the plans to become available. Agree with others, will pay for it. Music is great, perfect volume, enjoyable to listen to and at the same appreciating all coming together. Since age of 5, I was trained as a classical pianist, so don’t listen to those few that complain about the music, IRRELEVANT. Keep video and music coming. Again, super job🙂
Hi, and thanks for watching! Yes I did see some comments of people who would prefer no music, or music that changes from video to video. I will remain open to the criticism, since I too find it sometimes annoying when the music is not my type or when the same track plays over and over...but its either music, or the sound off accelerated music (and tools noises) I was listening too when building (which could give me copyright issues), or complete silence, which is not very entertaining either... Anyways, the songs I used are from a pack of music I bought on AudioJungle, so it can legally be added to a video. The specific one is here: audiojungle.net/item/atmosphere-corporate-upbeat-music-pack/43982156. These are not full songs, just background music. Thanks again!
It's in the back of my mind indeed ;-). This is part of the reason for using slotted aluminum extrusions. This way, it should be easy to fit various attachments. However, I have to say, I kinda doubt I will need DRO level precision on this tool...we'll see. Thanks for watching!
Very interesting design. How much deflection do you get from the far end of the fence? It's not supported by a rail on that side so I'd be slightly concerned that it'd move (causing an inconsistent width of cut) when pushing hard against it.
Hi Don, Thanks for watching! I did not measure the deflection, but that could be an interesting information to collect and share. I'll keep that in mind. I was worried about this as well. I can only say that it feels very solid, more than I expected...but I will have to experiment more to see if this causes any issue.
@@matsworkshop566Any follow up to this? I’d be worried about pushing stock through the saw and into the fence…the fence deflecting…and then when you put less pressure on the fence it pushes the stock back into the blade and causes kickback. Seems really unsafe if you don’t keep the pressure against the fence consistent.
Hi Bahete! I hope so yeah. I have started putting them together, but it's going to take a while. I mostly used my 3D model directly when building and haven't really made 2D plans with dimensions for each component, so I need to do this...and there are many parts. But I am working on it. I also need to finish the build itself, film it and make another video. So if all goes as I hope, when I post the next vid, I'll have plans available. Thanksfor watching!
@@matsworkshop566 Ok thank you. Your design is a great for what I've been looking to build. I'm learning woodworking from the woodworking for industry text book so I'm looking for good quality home projects to gain some experience.
@@matsworkshop566 Looking forward to your plans - this has almost everything I ever wanted in a workbench with integrated table saw! Have you considered flipping the location of the router table and adding a sliding attachment?
Whats the name of that drill jig that u use? U could include an affiliate link in the description. I ordered one recently and awaiting delivery. I hope it will be good enought
why do you use a scalpel to mark and not a pencil, I understand for a precise mark, but when you practice like that, why don't you line them up when gluing with extra clamps on the short and long side??? everything is wonderful, only for that I have a small complaint... greetings and all the best
Hi and thanks for watching and commenting. I do like use the marking knife technique as well as a regular pen marking. Often both. Quiet ofen i use a marking knife for more precision, without it being really necessary. As you mentionned, for a lot of what i do, pencil lines are precise enough. This project does not really require any fine joinery, so its not that critical. But since i discovered the marking knife techniques i like to use it pretty often. I can confirm that it can be way more precise and repeatable than simple pen lines. And you can always come back after making a knife mark and place your blade again in the same mark and be exactly a the right place. With this technique you can acheive sub .005in (or about .1mm) repeatability easily, which is a lot harder with simple pen lines. Pen lines themselves are rarely narrower than 0.5-0.7 mm. And even if you try to use line edges for precision, you are still less precise than with a marking knife line. Plus, with line edges you always expose yourself to the risk of error of using the wrong side of the line. Finally, i would add that using knife line helps a lot to reduce fibers tear out when cutting, since you make sure to cut the superficial fibers very cleanly before coming in with a rougher saw blade. All that being said. I consider myself a simple woodworking enthousiast. I am far from being an artist, even farther from being a professionnal, so my techniques can obviously be questionnable at times. But to me, what matters is the result. The path to get there is always a learning experience. Thanks again for watching. I hope you enjoyed. Chears! Mat
Yes, it is, except for the top that also has some MDF thicknesses hidden inside it to give it weight at low cost. Thanks for whatching and for the good comment. I am glad you enjoyed! Chears!
Nice job but i think it would be more of a inconvenience having machines built in to my workbench it would all get in the way of each other and having to move things around all the time
Hi Ifithomescom! Thanks for your view. Its not all that bad for now...and I have to optimize the very small space i have. I might be making a video about the advantages, inconvenients after using it for a while. Thanks again!
Hi Shoop! The MDF is mostly there as a filler material to make the top stronger and heavier. I chose to glue it, because i thought it was the fastest and most rigid approach. But i could have just srcrew them on the top, it would have work as well. Screws are long to install, and expensive. Glue is fine to me. And the use of nail is just to hold the pannels together, since clamping would have been challenging in this configuration. I hope this answers your question! Thanks for watching.
Almost...I am nearly done with the drawings. Stay tuned for part 6 coming this fall and i'll explain how to get the drawings...Thanks again for whatching!
@@matsworkshop566Thank you Mat. People like yourself make the world a wonderful place! Great little workbench for small shops. Just what I was looking for.
I dont know if you mentionned it in one of your videos, I havent been through all of them yet, but how many sheets of plywood did you end up using for the bulk of the build ? Great build by the way!
I believe i ended up needing 8 (say 9 cause i of course fucked up on some cuts). This type of plywood is mostly sold in 5'x5' sheets. This is what i used. I mostly paid pre-pandemic price of about 75$CAD. But for the 3 last sheets, i paid the post-pandemic price of about 125$CAD. Thanks for watching
Ohh thats not so bad, I dont know if there is one near you, but the Canac near where I live has 4*8 sheets of pretty good birch plywood (at about 110 CAD each right now)
The fact that YOU are still alive is a dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm miracle !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the fact you got all of your limbs !!! A MIRACLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Si t'es du Québec, désolé pour les vidéos en anglais...mais tant qu'à faire, j'me suis dit "aussi bien faire ça en anglais pour rejoindre le plus de gens possible". J'espère que t'as apprécié mon petit projet ;-). Beloeil, rive sud de MTL
Ça ne me dérange pas. Je comprends les deux langues parfaitement. Très bon travail! Faut vraiment être minutieux pour avoir réalisé ce projet à ce niveau
@@matsworkshop566merci boucoup for English version...bonjour from Nova Scotia...unfortunately I've forgotten more than I remember when it comes to French...besides I only learned Acadian French...trying to relearn
Hi Antonio! Currently, I do not. But, if I keep seeing some interest in the next few weeks, I might assemble some plans and explain how to get them. Thanks!
@@matsworkshop566 plans would be great. It looks so well thought out that I think you can charge some money if you make good plans. I'm deffinately interested.
Hi Michael! Thanks for your view. The drill plunger is a very cheap tool i bought for about 30$ online many years ago. I don't have the box anymore and there is no brand name on it. I suspect any such tool you can find online is equivalent. Again. This is very cheap...not great...but it does the job.
Using a Dewalt jobsite saw in a shop is a fundamental mistake. It's insanely loud (not neighbor friendly) but still it lacks power for high tooth count blades, it's fence cups over time, and it's table is anything but flat. I sold mine years ago, no regrets.
@@matsworkshop566 he says, you did it wrong.... The saw and router should be places vice-versa... Have no idea, why he is saying this, just give you a translation 😉
The materials used for the table top is wayyyy too much😅😅! 4 layers…Could have built another one of these with that material. Or with the cost of the wood, could have just bought a cast iron saw. Be that as it may, it was a nice build.
Yes! I did see his design at some point. There are similarities indeed. However, his is made with hardwood and other fancy materials. It is beautiful and seems to be a great tool. But much more expansive than my design. Thanks for watching!
@@matsworkshop566 being a Paoson Fan, I do see similarities in the construction method and materials (layering and glueing plywood) other than that you can clearly see you used a completly diferent aproach to a similar issue and you deserve all the credit for it. Saludos!
Hi Girt, I can understand your feeling. I have asked myself the question whether I should use music or not. And unfortunately, UA-cam does not offer anything such as a separate background music track that people can mute...this would be a great suggestion for them though. But, I have also started without background music, and hearing the accelerated speed clips machine sounds and accelerated ambiant music I was listening at during filming (which changes between each 15 sec takes) It makes for quiet horrible background soundtrack. Complete silence is extremely boring as well... And to put music on UA-cam, you can't just choose whatever music you want, 'cause you'll have copyright issues. So I had to buy a music bundle...which means incomplete songs that are not that great and that cost about 50$, so 3 or 4 times a regular artist album...so yeah...it's another type of business I guess...that's another issue. But I tried to choose music I found enjoyable...and I also had good comments about it, so...too bad it prevents you from enjoying the rest of the videos, but I can relate. Chears!
@@matsworkshop566 thanks for explaining, Mat. For a lot of people with an hearing aid, this background music makes it simply impossible to hear what's going on. What I ussually try if switch of the sound volume and put subtitling on. But in general, the less music or background music, the better, even for automatic subtitling.
And jeeeeeeeeeeeez the AMOUNT of energy you just throw away is AMAZING do you even realize that with all the energy you put into this you could've made three of these tables do you even realize that or ? No ? Work smarter man come onnnnnnnnn man !!!!!!
13:56 at this point I reallllllllllllly need to make a comment first I noticed a few minutes back that you have to many fingers and you want to get rid of some ? Yeah ? Ok well I mean if 10 is to much for you please continue the way you saw !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and now I see you do something even worse you put pressure on a VERY sharp blade if that one SNAPS and it can because they are break off ones then it will launch itself STR8 into your main artery in your wrist ! I have to say mannnnn I mean you are a smart guy you know your way around in the shop you know your thing about wood and stuff but boyyyyyyyyyyyy safety is not your thing huh !!!! The fact you are still alive is a MIRACLE !!!!!!!!!!!! A MIRACLE I TELL YA !!!!!

Vraiment impresionant ! 35 years in the industry and I’m shrinking my operations, and your design will be part of my mobile shop...., j’imagine que tu Es francais comme moi.......on As le meme accent lol
Salut Secureteam! Merci pour le bon commentaire. Oui, je suis francophone. Je vis au Québec. Si des parties de mon design peuvent servir à en inspirer d'autres, tant mieux! C'est en fouillant à travers les designs des autres que je me suis moi-même fait mon idée. Et je suis d'avis que tout le monde a des besoins et des moyens différents. C'est tout à fait normal qu'il y ait de la variété et des adaptations. C'est aussi là que se trouve tout le plaisir. Merci encore!
What a MAT-terpiece
Great build, love it. Question (from many), what is the name of that song/track playing from 7:28 - 13:55. I can’t wait for the plans to become available. Agree with others, will pay for it. Music is great, perfect volume, enjoyable to listen to and at the same appreciating all coming together. Since age of 5, I was trained as a classical pianist, so don’t listen to those few that complain about the music, IRRELEVANT. Keep video and music coming. Again, super job🙂
Hi, and thanks for watching! Yes I did see some comments of people who would prefer no music, or music that changes from video to video. I will remain open to the criticism, since I too find it sometimes annoying when the music is not my type or when the same track plays over and over...but its either music, or the sound off accelerated music (and tools noises) I was listening too when building (which could give me copyright issues), or complete silence, which is not very entertaining either...
Anyways, the songs I used are from a pack of music I bought on AudioJungle, so it can legally be added to a video. The specific one is here: audiojungle.net/item/atmosphere-corporate-upbeat-music-pack/43982156. These are not full songs, just background music. Thanks again!
You should have added a digital meter to the fence for accurate essay movements
It's in the back of my mind indeed ;-). This is part of the reason for using slotted aluminum extrusions. This way, it should be easy to fit various attachments. However, I have to say, I kinda doubt I will need DRO level precision on this tool...we'll see. Thanks for watching!
Good job and Amezing👍👍👍
Very interesting design. How much deflection do you get from the far end of the fence? It's not supported by a rail on that side so I'd be slightly concerned that it'd move (causing an inconsistent width of cut) when pushing hard against it.
Hi Don, Thanks for watching! I did not measure the deflection, but that could be an interesting information to collect and share. I'll keep that in mind. I was worried about this as well. I can only say that it feels very solid, more than I expected...but I will have to experiment more to see if this causes any issue.
@@matsworkshop566Any follow up to this? I’d be worried about pushing stock through the saw and into the fence…the fence deflecting…and then when you put less pressure on the fence it pushes the stock back into the blade and causes kickback. Seems really unsafe if you don’t keep the pressure against the fence consistent.
Mat's workshop are you making the drafting plans available?
Hi Bahete! I hope so yeah. I have started putting them together, but it's going to take a while. I mostly used my 3D model directly when building and haven't really made 2D plans with dimensions for each component, so I need to do this...and there are many parts. But I am working on it. I also need to finish the build itself, film it and make another video. So if all goes as I hope, when I post the next vid, I'll have plans available. Thanksfor watching!
@@matsworkshop566 Ok thank you. Your design is a great for what I've been looking to build. I'm learning woodworking from the woodworking for industry text book so I'm looking for good quality home projects to gain some experience.
@@matsworkshop566 I'm also looking forward to seeing your plans.
@@matsworkshop566 Looking forward to your plans - this has almost everything I ever wanted in a workbench with integrated table saw! Have you considered flipping the location of the router table and adding a sliding attachment?
@@diyenthu2844 working on it. coming soon
great job, I would like to have the plans too if you want it. Thank you very much
This guy is a whole cnc machine 🤣
Incredible work. Also watch Paoson Woodworking here on UA-cam. You'll be double stunned!
Whats the name of that drill jig that u use?
U could include an affiliate link in the description.
I ordered one recently and awaiting delivery. I hope it will be good enought
Honestly, it does not work quiet as well as i'd like. Its a very cheap tool, probably 30-40$. Its no great, but it helps in some cases anyways
impressive
why do you use a scalpel to mark and not a pencil, I understand for a precise mark, but when you practice like that, why don't you line them up when gluing with extra clamps on the short and long side??? everything is wonderful, only for that I have a small complaint... greetings and all the best
Hi and thanks for watching and commenting. I do like use the marking knife technique as well as a regular pen marking. Often both. Quiet ofen i use a marking knife for more precision, without it being really necessary. As you mentionned, for a lot of what i do, pencil lines are precise enough. This project does not really require any fine joinery, so its not that critical. But since i discovered the marking knife techniques i like to use it pretty often. I can confirm that it can be way more precise and repeatable than simple pen lines. And you can always come back after making a knife mark and place your blade again in the same mark and be exactly a the right place. With this technique you can acheive sub .005in (or about .1mm) repeatability easily, which is a lot harder with simple pen lines. Pen lines themselves are rarely narrower than 0.5-0.7 mm. And even if you try to use line edges for precision, you are still less precise than with a marking knife line. Plus, with line edges you always expose yourself to the risk of error of using the wrong side of the line. Finally, i would add that using knife line helps a lot to reduce fibers tear out when cutting, since you make sure to cut the superficial fibers very cleanly before coming in with a rougher saw blade. All that being said. I consider myself a simple woodworking enthousiast. I am far from being an artist, even farther from being a professionnal, so my techniques can obviously be questionnable at times. But to me, what matters is the result. The path to get there is always a learning experience. Thanks again for watching. I hope you enjoyed. Chears! Mat
Is this bench made solely from different thicknesses of Plywood??
It's a really nice build man..
Yes, it is, except for the top that also has some MDF thicknesses hidden inside it to give it weight at low cost. Thanks for whatching and for the good comment. I am glad you enjoyed! Chears!
Nice! Liked! Subscribed!
Also, guessing by the accent, might you be dutch?
Nice job but i think it would be more of a inconvenience having machines built in to my workbench it would all get in the way of each other and having to move things around all the time
Hi Ifithomescom! Thanks for your view. Its not all that bad for now...and I have to optimize the very small space i have. I might be making a video about the advantages, inconvenients after using it for a while. Thanks again!
Please make nice plans available, I don’t think I’m alone in saying that I’d gladly pay good money for them!
Hi @Lorde022, plans are well on the way, perhaps 80% complete. I hope to be able to share them early this fall. Thanks for watching!
Is there really any reason to glue the layers of MDF? Or to nail the 1st and 3rd layers?
Hi Shoop! The MDF is mostly there as a filler material to make the top stronger and heavier. I chose to glue it, because i thought it was the fastest and most rigid approach. But i could have just srcrew them on the top, it would have work as well. Screws are long to install, and expensive. Glue is fine to me. And the use of nail is just to hold the pannels together, since clamping would have been challenging in this configuration. I hope this answers your question! Thanks for watching.
Do you have the drawing and dimensions that you can share?
Almost...I am nearly done with the drawings. Stay tuned for part 6 coming this fall and i'll explain how to get the drawings...Thanks again for whatching!
@@matsworkshop566Thank you Mat. People like yourself make the world a wonderful place! Great little workbench for small shops. Just what I was looking for.
I dont know if you mentionned it in one of your videos, I havent been through all of them yet, but how many sheets of plywood did you end up using for the bulk of the build ? Great build by the way!
I believe i ended up needing 8 (say 9 cause i of course fucked up on some cuts). This type of plywood is mostly sold in 5'x5' sheets. This is what i used. I mostly paid pre-pandemic price of about 75$CAD. But for the 3 last sheets, i paid the post-pandemic price of about 125$CAD. Thanks for watching
Ohh thats not so bad, I dont know if there is one near you, but the Canac near where I live has 4*8 sheets of pretty good birch plywood (at about 110 CAD each right now)
Thanks for the tip. I haven't looked at that material for a while, but when i need some, i'll look them up. There is one near me in St-Hubert. Thanks!

Hi @user-lj4vv6of5k , you can buy the plans for pretty cheap if you follow the link in the description for payhip webside. Thanks for watching!
I need to ask: how weight this table top?
that is really nice. i
Why did you make the worktop 3 mdf thick?
Rob Cosman design
Simply to make it heavy and sturdy at low cost. Did not want to waste relatively expansive plywood just as a filler material. Thanks!
The fact that YOU are still alive is a dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm miracle !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the fact you got all of your limbs !!! A MIRACLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you have plans for this?
Hi Antonio! Currently, I do not. But, if I keep seeing some interest in the next few weeks, I might assemble some plans and explain how to get them. Thanks!
@@matsworkshop566 plans would be great. It looks so well thought out that I think you can charge some money if you make good plans. I'm deffinately interested.
@@matsworkshop566 please make plans too , it will be very useful too
@@matsworkshop566 Plans would be great 👍
no planes? 😢
What drill plunger are you using?
Hi Michael! Thanks for your view. The drill plunger is a very cheap tool i bought for about 30$ online many years ago. I don't have the box anymore and there is no brand name on it. I suspect any such tool you can find online is equivalent. Again. This is very cheap...not great...but it does the job.
What are the dimensions of your shop? Mine is 9’ x 18’
Hi! Thanks for watching! My shop is 12' x 12'
Can't tell online. Is this birch? maple?
Hi @mellymel1100, the plywood i used is russian birch...which is now pretty hard to buy...sadly. Thanks for whatching
Using a Dewalt jobsite saw in a shop is a fundamental mistake. It's insanely loud (not neighbor friendly) but still it lacks power for high tooth count blades, it's fence cups over time, and it's table is anything but flat. I sold mine years ago, no regrets.
не правильно........... фрезер с пилой местами надо менять...
I have tried to google translate your message, but I couldn't figure out what it meant. Sorry! But thanks for whatching
@@matsworkshop566 he says, you did it wrong.... The saw and router should be places vice-versa... Have no idea, why he is saying this, just give you a translation 😉
Почему неправильно?

Very impressive work but it seems way overbuilt.
The materials used for the table top is wayyyy too much😅😅! 4 layers…Could have built another one of these with that material. Or with the cost of the wood, could have just bought a cast iron saw. Be that as it may, it was a nice build.
It's a similar design idea to Paoson - ua-cam.com/video/E_uFfol9T5M/v-deo.html .
Yes! I did see his design at some point. There are similarities indeed. However, his is made with hardwood and other fancy materials. It is beautiful and seems to be a great tool. But much more expansive than my design. Thanks for watching!
@@matsworkshop566 It appears that he's using plywood and MDF, with no hardwood in sight.
@@matsworkshop566 being a Paoson Fan, I do see similarities in the construction method and materials (layering and glueing plywood) other than that you can clearly see you used a completly diferent aproach to a similar issue and you deserve all the credit for it. Saludos!

Hi...just the workbench without the router and the table saw is around 1k$USD approx
Совершенно бостолковое видео. ГДЕ РАЗМЕРЫ????
Thanks for the comments. Plans are available through a link in the description below. Thanks
Over - engineered maybe?
Just a bit ;-P...for fun!
Hey, if you do use it you will most likely lose it!
very interesting video, but even so I stopped watching because of the annoying background music. Not sure why people add music to video's like this.
Hi Girt, I can understand your feeling. I have asked myself the question whether I should use music or not. And unfortunately, UA-cam does not offer anything such as a separate background music track that people can mute...this would be a great suggestion for them though.
But, I have also started without background music, and hearing the accelerated speed clips machine sounds and accelerated ambiant music I was listening at during filming (which changes between each 15 sec takes) It makes for quiet horrible background soundtrack. Complete silence is extremely boring as well...
And to put music on UA-cam, you can't just choose whatever music you want, 'cause you'll have copyright issues. So I had to buy a music bundle...which means incomplete songs that are not that great and that cost about 50$, so 3 or 4 times a regular artist album...so yeah...it's another type of business I guess...that's another issue.
But I tried to choose music I found enjoyable...and I also had good comments about it, so...too bad it prevents you from enjoying the rest of the videos, but I can relate. Chears!
@@matsworkshop566 thanks for explaining, Mat. For a lot of people with an hearing aid, this background music makes it simply impossible to hear what's going on. What I ussually try if switch of the sound volume and put subtitling on. But in general, the less music or background music, the better, even for automatic subtitling.
I understand your point and it makes sense, i'll keep it in mind for my next videos. Unfortunately, I can't really change it out now.

Too much complexity for not much functionality.
And jeeeeeeeeeeeez the AMOUNT of energy you just throw away is AMAZING do you even realize that with all the energy you put into this you could've made three of these tables do you even realize that or ? No ? Work smarter man come onnnnnnnnn man !!!!!!
13:56 at this point I reallllllllllllly need to make a comment first I noticed a few minutes back that you have to many fingers and you want to get rid of some ? Yeah ? Ok well I mean if 10 is to much for you please continue the way you saw !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and now I see you do something even worse you put pressure on a VERY sharp blade if that one SNAPS and it can because they are break off ones then it will launch itself STR8 into your main artery in your wrist ! I have to say mannnnn I mean you are a smart guy you know your way around in the shop you know your thing about wood and stuff but boyyyyyyyyyyyy safety is not your thing huh !!!! The fact you are still alive is a MIRACLE !!!!!!!!!!!! A MIRACLE I TELL YA !!!!!
