I bought this for my friend for his birthday as we just moved into a new house and he finally has room for a workshop. The bench was very easy to set up ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh They center support is a little difficult to snap in and out of place at first but at least then we know the bench is secure. It was a pleasant surprise when we saw it came with clamps. I apparently missed that in the description. My friend loves the versatility of the bench. Great starter bench for his workshop and easily transportable all over our property. I wish the bench was a little taller but the other features of the bench more than make up for that.
Hi I just read through some of the comments regarding this video. I have to say WOW. Only in today’s society does somebody watch a video for FREE and make negative comments regarding this guys son playing with the wood he cut out to length. My dad left at 7 and never came back-i would pay anything to be able to play with my dad. Are you kidding me??? Btw, not only did your videos on this series inspire me ( i was looking for ideas to do something similar) i am going to biy spme RC cats and set up an obstacle course with my son too. Thanks for sharing EVERYTHING!
This is fantastic. I've been looking for a way to have large in and outfeed setup for my RAS and simultaneously have 2 workbenches (one for woodworking and one for mechanic work). This gave me exactly the idea I needed. Thanks man!
I have enjoyed your build. I am in the planning stage of a new work station for my RAS. I also like that you had an RC Airwolf sitting in camera view at the start.
Ha! I think you're the very first person that noticed that Airwolf fuselage. Most of the younger folks probably don't even know what Airwolf is. My dad got that fuselage in the 80s and was planning on putting an old Heli-boy rc helicopter in it. He never got around to it but in about 2010 I got into big electric RC helicopters and planned on putting a Trex 700 in it. Needless to say, I got busy with other projects and never got around to it either.
You're right. Very simple and strong. It can be tough finding straight 2x4s but you could use a jointer if you wanted them perfectly straight. Or just use some clamps, glue, screws, and a mallet like I did to force them into submission.
Hi Tommy I use your bench design to inspire me to design and built my own version and have started building them. I also made a version of your mobile benches, my one has fold out wings. I recently purchased a Dewalt Radial Arm Saw and have also built a table for it. I hope to add the adjustable fences to them just like yours. I will put a video up on my channel once everything is completed. Once again thanks for the idea and keep up the great work and videos. Cheers
Just what I needed. Purchased the plans and I plan on starting the build this weekend. Perfect for a garage. Thanks. Keep the knowledge coming. Also great value with everything included in the plans.
Brilliant concept! Expect I'll look into this and buy your plans this summer after I get my under-sized and over-stuffed too-small one car garage cleared out to make room for a small 12x18 shop. Space will obviously be at a premium. Planning to build Ron Paulk's Smart Bench and Smart Station, hoping these will roll nicely under your top bench. Or I might add an MFT top to your rolling benches.
Glad to see someone using glue aswell ,because builds I've seen they use big lag bolts,and in 2x4's they are over kill,but don't do anything for making it ridged,they still have movement,I built mine similar to yours only that I put a bottom shelf,as had a nice three draw melamine under desk draw I installed on the shelf,very happy about that.
Great video and excellent build! Idea for keeping stuff square - I have built shop tables and benches for years using a similar 2x4 leg design (BTW - your video gave me a couple of improvements, thanks!) and I've found building each complete leg assembly before you install the long rail makes it much easier to keep everything square. I.E. the only difference is to install the top horizontal piece of the leg assembly before the long rails. I like your shop!
One thing you might consider is putting footies on the bolts as it will most definitely gouge your into the concrete after a while if you don't...then you will have to move the table to keep it from rocking....it wouldn't take much....a square of plastic that you can replace every few years might even be enough...(I am thinking hdpe....maybe get a plastic cutting board from the dump and cut it up in the bandsaw??)). On a different note, you have a budding Mechanical Engineer on your hands! ; Also, I want to say that I appreciate the revival of the radial arm saw that you are helping to bring about :)!! ..When things (like the radial arm saw) go 'out' of vogue, they really go down hard and fast and it is amazing some of the misconceptions and bad information that starts circulating. But hopefully people (in a general sense) will stop whining about 'the inherent IN-accuracy of a radial arm saw' and instead just start figuring out WHY THEIR radial arm saw (or their FATHER'S radial arm saw....which is most often the case) is not 'cutting accurately'....and then find a solution to the problem. Hint: to those in the above category.....it's not the mechanics of the tool that is the problem, but the implementation of the tool by the operator. The old adage, "The tool is only as good, {or as effective} as the operator handling it." has not become obsolete.
Great idea with the plastic footies for the bolts. I did plan on finding some rubber feet for those so that they stick to the floor better without wanting to slide around. I just haven't found any yet. I'm happy to see that you approve of my efforts to help revive the radial arm saw. They get a bad rep but they can be a great tool when used properly!
Honestly, an easier solution is to do without the feet and just shim with paper or wood slivers. Plus, there's more service area for the feet to contact the ground.
The reason why I used threaded bolts was so that I could easily fine tune and adjust the table top so that it sits a hair below my radial arm saw table top. As things settle and shift over time, it's very nice having the ability to fine tune each table leg. I have no regrets in that area.
Ive been cleaning and organizing our maintenance barn and found a Radial Arm saw and a drill press. I plan to put them to use. Have been watching your vids. Ordered the Mr Sawdust book and im 10 kinds if excited to get started. Question: just using a standard everyday shop vac with this??
Nice build. I have always wondered about using those adjustable feet or simply bolts like you did... Do they remove any of the stability of the large bench? Seems like going from a 4x4 contact to ground would be far more sturdy than a 3/4 inch bolt head. You have yours setup, do you notice any less stability?
4x4 contact to the ground would probably be a tad bit sturdier but the bolts still work great. For me, it's more important to get the height adjustability on all 4 corners of the bench so that I can ensure that it's level with my radial arm saw table.
Looks like you had a month's worth of coffee in 5 minutes.I tried it once.Slept for a week after it wore off.Great work,though.My table would look like a Salvador Dali sculpture.
sorry if it's been asked but I've just got a dw 1251 and the Mr sawdust book but I'd like to add a laser to mine. do you have a video where you covered fitting it? I've seen this build from video one to this but I've not seen it in any of them
There really isn't much to adding the laser. I just bought this one which fits the 5/8" arbor and you put it on along with your blade - DONE. amzn.to/2MPncSq
Thanks for sharing your efforts. I like the design, but have a concern about the length of the unsupported front 2x4 on the two end units. Now that the workstation has been in service for a while, is there much bowing/deflection of the front 2x4?
Loving these videos! About to set up a shop with a craftsman radial arm saw with my dad that might be about as old as yours (the saw that is). where did you get the laser?! I’m planning on buying your plans, and I just ordered mr sawdust. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks! I have a Sketchup file with all the dimensions for all of my new shop tables that I plan on making available soon. I have a more work to get done first with this new shop build so subscribe or check back soon.
Cool build. I noticed that when you were building the top part you had something in your ears, are they ear protectors or headphones, and what brand are they? Thanks, on to the next vids.
I played drums in a band for a long time and had in-ear monitors that piped all the instruments into my ears. They're basically a really expensive set of headphones that sound amazing and are custom fit for my ears. If you detach the wires, they make really nice and comfortable ear plugs. I'm probably the only guy that uses them for this, but I have them so why not? Here's the link: pro.ultimateears.com/ue-11-pro
Damn, thats what I though, was hoping they were a cheaper option. Didn't think anyone would use them as ear plugs, but if you've got them why not. Thanks for the reply.
@@TommyTompkins I always assumed that Radial arm saws were obsolete because most people have a sliding miter with a blade stop but I guess they are more versatile than I thought. You should do a video on all the things you can do with a RAS since you don't see them used much anymore.
I picked up one of these which is battery powered and just attaches to the motor shaft: www.amazon.com/Oshlun-LG-R01-Radial-Laser-Guide/dp/B002PMV4UQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485321890&sr=8-1
Hank Frydale I had to make it that high so I could fit the rolling workbench underneath. I wanted the rolling bench a certain height so I could fit my larger tools in there. Check out my rolling workbench video so you can see how that works.
Great bench, I will definately be using your design very soon, my only concern is that you cut MDF without wearing a mask, I thought that MDF causes cancer ?.
This particular bench is 42" tall which is basically bar height. I love it at this height and keeps me from having to bend over to see my work. I used 3/4" MDF.
Ah yes, that would make more sense since that's more of a guitar solo :) That one is New on the Block by Silent Partner: ua-cam.com/video/D4Em00zKzfk/v-deo.html
I really like what you've done here. Look's like what I want to do. I used to come to MN often and always winter, 3m. I'll be watching. Jerry in As labama
Is that worktop MDF? If it is you should really wear a dust mask, I don't want to come across like I'm teaching you how to suck eggs but you vacuumed up after the cut. I like this bench, not having a brace across the front means you could wheel other tools underneath it unobstructed! Awesome work! Sub'd
Tommy Tompkins ok cool that's about what I figured. If I were to buy the plans could I just change the total length of the table. That shouldn't be too difficult right.
Hi Jared - you could certainly modify the plans to suit your specific needs. Changing the length of the table would be as easy as making the horizontal boards and table top X number of inches longer or shorter to your liking. You shouldn't have any difficulties at all doing that.
o k So I stand corrected. I started this video series at the end and then went back to watch the front. I really need to stop doing that. A question from some were nearer the front. The shelf that you made to use part time and is stored on its own shelf. Couldn't you build a storage for it under the table to gain that much more space? I mention this because just before I found you series on this build I had just watched another woodworker on here whom built a large flat drawer under his shelf that both gave him more storage but also acted as a stop for stuff rolling under there into NO MANS LAND!!! I liked that idea enough that I will be adding one A.S.A.P. as I have all to often had that same thing happen to me. Cause after seeing your shop you have no idea what lack of space means. Wow must be nice, makes my tinny ( and yes I know I will hear about this from folks who have even less if any at all space to work in. But let me promise you all I am currently working on rebuilding a usable wood working shop into my tiny 8' x 10 ' trailer and no im not rich it was a gift ) two car garage ( a first in my life I might add ) seem like a tiny house. I'm being so sheek or is that shake, what ever. Thank GOD that waist of hide is out of office. Now maybe we can go on being real Americans not second world poppers. Sorry my wife says I get on my soap box to much. it's just that I went from owning my own home and making almost 300.00 a month to renting to own and not even breaking 1500.00 for that same month. LATER B O !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Again sorry for my out burst. enjoy that shop brother you look like you enjoy it.
Are you using Phillips screws?? OMG. Didnt they die in the first ice age? Use Tork. Nothing else is working. You do such a great job with glue and all,- Tork screws.
Yep - I had a bin sheet rock screws that I had to use up and although not ideal, they worked and continue to work just fine years later. I typically use Spax but didn't in this case.
Sooo.... Step 1. Find a kid. Step 2. Attempt to be productive Step 3. Observe kid misappropriating building supplies. Step 4. Give up on productivity and play with kid. Got it! :)
I started adding “home videos” to UA-cam for myself, my family, and mostly for fun. When I started with this video, I never thought anyone would have any interest in watching these, let alone make a career out of UA-cam. Next thing I knew, I had over 14,000 subscribers and they’re growing daily. I thought that was weird too. But thanks for stopping by!
Thank you for your response. I totally understand. Glad you have a hobby that is beneficial. Many others are benefitting from you work. People are watching and enjoying!
Workbench turned out pretty well. Nice to have your son helping you. Greetings from sunny Jamaica.
Thank you and greetings from MN!
Great video series. The 'racing scene' was a great addition to the footage. Enjoy your kids, they're grown before you know it. Thanks for sharing.

There's a hundred ways to make a workbench, I know I've watched all the videos, I like the this one is made, the joints simple but strong, looks good.
Glad to you like it. I still do!
Love the idea of mating two 2x4s together. Real simple and inexpensive but strong, I'm sure. This is how I'm going to model my table saw station.
You're right. Very simple and strong. It can be tough finding straight 2x4s but you could use a jointer if you wanted them perfectly straight. Or just use some clamps, glue, screws, and a mallet like I did to force them into submission.

Built this today, great sturdy work bench. Thanks
Thank you!
Hi Tom
I am new to wood work , i watched your video and enjoy it , nice
work
, Looking forward to learn more about wood working
Great! Welcome to the addictive craft of woodworking :)
Using a clamp to force things into square... Story of my life lol
excellent and all by yourself! great example for us novices
Like your ideas. thinking about doing something similar in my garage.
Drill, driver, glue, screws, mallet and beer, my kind of woodworking!!!!
Ive been cleaning and organizing our maintenance barn and found a Radial Arm saw and a drill press. I plan to put them to use. Have been watching your vids. Ordered the Mr Sawdust book and im 10 kinds if excited to get started. Question: just using a standard everyday shop vac with this??

Looks like you had a month's worth of coffee in 5 minutes.I tried it once.Slept for a week after it wore off.Great work,though.My table would look like a Salvador Dali sculpture.
Just a tip: when driving screws into a 2x4, don’t line up all the screws down the middle. Stagger them to avoid splitting the wood.
Good tip!
Hey Tommy. Do you happen to have a link for the casters you used? Thanks!
Looks like your son has a bright future ahead as Highway Engineer...or maybe a rally road race driver.
Hahaha...we shall see!
sorry if it's been asked but I've just got a dw 1251 and the Mr sawdust book but I'd like to add a laser to mine. do you have a video where you covered fitting it? I've seen this build from video one to this but I've not seen it in any of them

Just finished the bench, came out AWESOME! First project in our first house, but now I have a work surface instead of an old IKEA TV stand 🤣. Thanks!
Do I need to line my raised garden bed?
What guide laser do you have on your radial arm saw? I have an old 10" Craftsman I'd like one on.
This is the laser that I have which works with any saw that has a 5/8" arbor: amzn.to/31DuqwU
Any active coupons for the digital plans of these workbench tables??
Gostei muito do seu projeto... também gosto da presença do nosso filho na oficina e muito divertido.
É inspirador, um grande abraço.
Thank you so much!
How did you get a Laser on that older saw? Great series on the shop
Ken J That’s just a 5/8 arbor laser that I picked up from amazon. You can add them to pretty much any saw with that arbor size.
Great work
Thanks!

How do you have a laser on The ancient saw?
Do you use that old dewalt radial saw in place of a sliding miter saw?
It's cool.
they don't build things like they used to
I sure do. I also use it in place of a table saw. I haven't used my table saw hardly at all since I got my radial arm saw setup properly.
@@TommyTompkins
I always assumed that Radial arm saws were obsolete because most people have a sliding miter with a blade stop but I guess they are more versatile than I thought.
You should do a video on all the things you can do with a RAS since you don't see them used much anymore.
I do go through some of those details in this video: ua-cam.com/video/b7mW3JKAqhc/v-deo.html
How did you get a laser to work on a 1960s radial arm saw? Good videos!
I picked up one of these which is battery powered and just attaches to the motor shaft: www.amazon.com/Oshlun-LG-R01-Radial-Laser-Guide/dp/B002PMV4UQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485321890&sr=8-1
Switch to spax or robertson drive screws and it will make a world of difference.
I use spax quite a bit. But for this particular build, I had a bucket of drywall screws that I had to get rid of.
Nice simple build there buddy, why so high though?
Hank Frydale I had to make it that high so I could fit the rolling workbench underneath. I wanted the rolling bench a certain height so I could fit my larger tools in there. Check out my rolling workbench video so you can see how that works.
Great bench, I will definately be using your design very soon, my only concern is that you cut MDF without wearing a mask, I thought that MDF causes cancer ?.
Thanks! Yeah MDF can be hazardous and I'm almost always wearing a mask when I'm cutting it. If it wasn't in the video - oops :)
Quick question: Did you use just regular framing lumber for these worktables or pressure-treated wood?
Yeah I just used regular framing lumber and picked out the straightest ones I could find.
Very nice!! How tall is the bench? What thickness MDF did you use? Thank You
Great job!
This particular bench is 42" tall which is basically bar height. I love it at this height and keeps me from having to bend over to see my work. I used 3/4" MDF.
Tommy Tompkins Thank you!
I like the laser line, where do I find one for my RAS?
I found mine here: amzn.to/2UKtmEf
Great video mate. Did you use MDF for the top?
Thanks! Yes, I used MDF for the top.
Nice work. Also liked the guitar solo music, who's the artist?
Thanks! That's Swamp Stomp by Silent Partner: ua-cam.com/video/Ug1uiBqVRI8/v-deo.html
Actually Tommy, thanks for the response, but interested in the artist that starts at 5:30 minutes into your video.
Ah yes, that would make more sense since that's more of a guitar solo :) That one is New on the Block by Silent Partner: ua-cam.com/video/D4Em00zKzfk/v-deo.html

Muito obrigado!
How long is the table you just made here?
The longer tables are 6' 5-1/2" each.
Tommy Tompkins ok cool that's about what I figured. If I were to buy the plans could I just change the total length of the table. That shouldn't be too difficult right.
Hi Jared - you could certainly modify the plans to suit your specific needs. Changing the length of the table would be as easy as making the horizontal boards and table top X number of inches longer or shorter to your liking. You shouldn't have any difficulties at all doing that.
o k So I stand corrected. I started this video series at the end and then went back to watch the front. I really need to stop doing that.
A question from some were nearer the front.

Cause after seeing your shop you have no idea what lack of space means.
Wow must be nice, makes my tinny
( and yes I know I will hear about this from folks who have even less if any at all space to work in. But let me promise you all I am currently working on rebuilding a usable wood working shop into my tiny 8' x 10 ' trailer and no im not rich it was a gift )

Now maybe we can go on being real Americans not second world poppers.
Sorry my wife says I get on my soap box to much. it's just that I went from owning my own home and making almost 300.00 a month to renting to own and not even breaking 1500.00 for that same month.
LATER B O !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Again sorry for my out burst. enjoy that shop brother you look like you enjoy it.
Hmm...not sure what shelf you're referring to? Do you have a link to that spot in the video?
good
The steps are simple
9:30 You da man!
Are you using Phillips screws?? OMG. Didnt they die in the first ice age? Use Tork. Nothing else is working. You do such a great job with glue and all,- Tork screws.
Yep - I had a bin sheet rock screws that I had to use up and although not ideal, they worked and continue to work just fine years later. I typically use Spax but didn't in this case.
What are you using for your bench top?
Hey Kyle - I'm using MDF.
Who's having more fun,the kid or Dad?
Haha good question!

The meaning of life is a loving relationship with others, minus the metal music
Muito bom gastei parabéns
Did I just spy snow chains on your ride-on mower...
Yep you did. We get a little bit of snow here in MN. It gets in the way of the grass.
Sooo....
Step 1. Find a kid.
Step 2. Attempt to be productive
Step 3. Observe kid misappropriating building supplies.
Step 4. Give up on productivity and play with kid.
Got it! :)
Pretty much! lol

Kids.... Always building ramps.
furniture plan camp .
Didn’t want to watch a boy play with his toy car, rediculus
So don’t watch then. Problem solved.
;-)
downgraded for the forced music appreciation class. Didn't come here for that. Tuning out.
Kevin Travis see ya
If I had a kid and a UA-cam channel. I would exploit my son in order to promote my channel.
2 1/2 minutes watching your kid play wasn't really needed
Chris Cameron Yes it was,he is an aspiring woodworker. Plus father-son time is ALWAYS the right time.
I wish my Dad would have let me be more involved. He's a Great Dad!
I was hoping to see your build but your son was a distraction that soon became too much. A nice home video but not for viewers.
I started adding “home videos” to UA-cam for myself, my family, and mostly for fun. When I started with this video, I never thought anyone would have any interest in watching these, let alone make a career out of UA-cam. Next thing I knew, I had over 14,000 subscribers and they’re growing daily. I thought that was weird too. But thanks for stopping by!
Thank you for your response. I totally understand. Glad you have a hobby that is beneficial. Many others are benefitting from you work. People are watching and enjoying!
A video about your kid? Seriously?
My kid is in the video but I wouldn't necessarily say that it's a video "about my kid." Yes, seriously.
kids don't belong in workshop vids...but terrible music was the final straw. thumbs down and I'll not be watching your videos.
You seem very pleasant to be around. We're sure going to miss having you around.
Buddy Guy bye Felicia...
I'm so glad my Grandpa allowed me in his wood shop when I was growing up.
