- In this video I leave the safety of the workshop for wilderness of my back garden where I build the cheapest #DIY #MFT -alike that I can, using scrounged or #recycled materials, and a basic toolset. Enjoy!

Rag 'n' Bone Millard!! I like it 👍
Haha! You taught me everything I know Keith! 😂 👍
Whats next Ten Minute Brown?
What I enjoy about low cost, simple builds (and videos) like this is they lay the foundation for future projects as skills improve and tools increase.
Basic builds are exactly what I'm here for. Expensive tool builds are fun to watch but budget tool builds are what make me head to the shed and start projects.
Love the idea of basic builds! Looking forward to them!
Thanks! 👍
Me too!
Me three.
Love how you are turning the expensive world of high-end tools on its head a bit!
Haha, thanks! Love a cheap tool me! 😆 👍
Thanks Peter for another excellent video. I’m now retired and living in Orlando,Florida having had my own business for 40+ years making fitted furniture. How I wish I was working again, if for no other reason than being able to utilise your great ideas. My working life, although treasured, could have been made that much easier. I’ve nothing but admiration for your skill, your content and the relaxed way in which you present it. My very best wishes and long may you continue to inform and entertain us.
Thanks Bryn! 👍🙌
I like the basic concept and showing how most can do it in a backyard
An excellent (slight) change of direction for the channel. Hooked!
Thanks! 👍
Loved this video. As someone without a workshop or shed this has inspired me to build one of these. Thanks so much.
Thank you! 🙌👍
Same here and absolutely agree.
I'm going to start gathering up the supplies and give this a go later on in the summer too. Think I may make the dogs out of dowels but otherwise it's going to be basically the same.
Thankfully there's an IKEA not too far away!
Finally am good starting video. Not needing an ready workshop to build your workshop is highly welkom 👍
Having just retired and taking up a new hobby of wood working to keep my mind ticking, I would love to see some basic builds.
Watching this video has shown me that to build something so useful you don't have to own the most expensive tools. I really enjoy your videos but could never justify expensive tooling for a hobby. This is a game changer for me. Thank you Peter.
Thanks Steve! 👍
Truly my favorite channel for woodworking. Appreciate the ideas and advice you give!
Really like the basics idea. Loved the simple build MFT. Looking forward to seeing how well it works out. Thanks for the share.
Looking forward to the basics builds! This type of content makes me realize that builds can be so much easier and affordable if you want to. Inspires me to not overcomplicate shop projects. I’m very interested in seeing you routing a t-slot. I wonder if they provide enough strength to clamp to. I’ve wanted to try this, because it seems so easy compared to store-bought t-tracks.
Thanks! Yes, I think as makers we do tend to make things complex for ourselves, sometimes! I’m also interested in the t-slot cutters, because I’m also curious about the strength aspect! 👍👍
It's a great idea for a series - I'm really looking forward to it
Excited about the series. A big thanks for this helpful/informative and well-presented content.
Maybe, some people complain about video quality outdoors, but it is better quality than required for learning something that is a huge help. Very well presented and easy to follow.
Thanks very much for South Africa.
Thanks again Peter I really enjoyed that and show what can be done on a budget and a size to suit someone starting off in woodworking. Almost makes me wonder about a basic builds workshop…
Great idea, Peter. Nicely executed.
What an excellent video, and so refreshing to see the basic builds concept of videos coming. Thanks Peter, really appreciated.
Thanks Steve! 👍
Thanks Peter. That's a whole lot more conducive to my budget.
You have completely converted me from the evolution mitre saw and rage table saw - to the track saw. Thank you! Yes - I am going to build this sort of table, as I have to make ideally looking 12 steps on my single stringer staircase. Your video about dowel pins gave me enough confidence to spend £1000 on ash and to start glueing. Thank you!
Excellent ! Really enjoyed this one. Plenty of food for thought in modifying my bench set up.
This is exactly what I need to modify my existing built-in bench in my garage. I was considering cutting mft holes in the existing surface but did not relish the sawdust falling through into the storage areas below. Thank you for showing how to do it without spending a fortune.
Love the idea of basic builds with basic tools so look forward to those. Given that routers can be pretty inexpensive, t slot routing would be interesting too.
Brilliant video! Makes things seem so much more achievable for us novices. Thanks so much!
Thanks! 👍
Excellent, looking forward to this series!
Hi Peter. I like the idea of a basic builds series. Keeping things simple is always good. I look forward to it.
Also I would like to see you build something unique for your workshop. I watch a few woodworking channels and really enjoy yours for its short and sharp focus.
Great video Peter, you've convinced me to have a go
As always informative and interesting. Basic builds is a good idea.
Looks brilliant and just what I need for my workshop will have it to fit on my Stanley workhorses
This is the show I’ve been waiting for. This is for the weekend DIYer who isn’t a pro, can’t afford pro tools, but would like to get better at building beyond rough carpentry. Thanks Peter.
👍👍
Love that plunge saw rail bench dog jig, genius! Thanks for showing that a woodworker with your level of experience can still build with simplicity. All the best from Wellington, New Zealand.
Thank you! 🙌
Yes indeed this video is ideal for those people, which is most of us, who are not carpenters but DIYers. There is a much bigger need for this type of video than those with people whose domino tool alone is worth more than most DIYers entire kit. There’s people with 10-30 thousand dollar shops trying to show DIYers how to make cabinets for example. The reality is that anyone with tens of thousands in tools is likely to already know how to build cabinets.
But this video is great in that it starts at a base level and tries to promote ingenuity and skill above sheer raw high end tools. Great idea and well executed Peter.
Thanks Michael! 👍
Genius idea for a series. Just building my first hobby shop, compulsory viewing, thank you.
Thanks! 👍
Like it so much I have already purchased the MFT top!
A month too late! I built my own MFT bench after watching your track saw series (best thing I have watched on UA-cam) and I'm now cutting up square and straight 18mm MDF as if I was born to it.
No, you were a month too early, Paul! 😂 And thanks - great to hear it's working out for you. 👍👍
Hi Peter
Hope you are well my mate, I just love how you make things look so easy. Thanks mate 👍👍👍👍
Cheers Carl! Yep, all good here, hope you are too! 👍
Great project Peter. Looking forward to the Basic Builds.
Thanks! 👍
Thanks for the great content. Many channels only highlight the fanciest tools and biggest workshops, but your videos make us normal people realize that you can be a true craftsman in any scenario. Keep it up!
Thanks! It's s tricky one; if you have the gear, then you'll want to use it, but I 100% understand the frustration when a UA-camr finishes something with a few thousand's worth of power tools then turns to the camera and says "...of course, you can also use a hand plane..." 🤦♂️
@@10MinuteWorkshop I agree. I love a new fancy tool as much as the next person, so I think you're doing a good job balancing content. No complaints here
Great idea about the Basic Builds series Peter. Looking forwards to it.
Thanks! 👍
loving the basic builds videos. I'll be watching them from my 6x5 shed :)
Nice and cosy! 👍
6x5? Ha! Luxury! 🤣
Love that Peter. Fantastic idea, as always. Gardens looking well too lol...
The new series sounds brilliant. Can see that doing very well. Look forward to those. 👍👍
Cheers Barry! 👍
Great video as always Peter. Looking forward to the “Basic Builds” videos. As I only have a very small work space and budget tools myself will be very interesting to see what’s possible. 👍
Excellent Peter you really had me at the intro. First class skill, imagination and taking a brilliant idea and stripping it right back is shear genius. Well done and like all others can’t wait for the “basics build series” to unfolding.
Thanks David! 👍👍
Loved this concept. As you said can't build a bench without a bench. So many UA-cam videos are making an upgrade bench, router table or what ever when they already have a bench or router table to make the new one. I experienced this making a torsion box bench. These video's will really help people starting out. Well done and cheers mate 👍
Thank you! 👍
That plastic pipe as a bench dog is a genius cost saving idea!
I love this minimum toolkit mind set. Thanks a bunch.
Nice build. You make it look so easy.
Thanks. And sorry about that, that’s the last thing I intend; it’s never easy, it just gets less difficult the more you do it. 👍👍
What a brilliant money saving build.
Thank you! 👍
Nice job Peter I need one in my life
Yet another very clever design. I nearly fell off my chair, when you made the bench dogs using the conduit. It's so simple and does the job.
Thank you! 👍
ua-cam.com/video/7_1I4zv_V2Q/v-deo.html Pop up conduit bench dogs from Small Space Creation channel.
absolutely tremendous Peter looking forward to more basic builds 👊
Thanks! 👍
Really like this one, about to build somthing similar. On a tight budget, as a lot of us are and will be😬 Looking forward to the next in the series 👍
Crates and a board! I love it. I have so many (not so) fond memories of making do out in the field. 😂😂 But seriously, it's refreshing to see someone--especially of your calibre--demonstrating how a simple setup and basic tools can be sufficient. This is going to be a great series!
Thanks John! It was a bit like going back to my handyman days, lol! Worked out OK though! 👍
Great job - ingenious!
The usual high quality of production and information! I have a table saw, but you've convinced me that for large sheet goods, taking the tool to the work is a much better and safer option. So I've just bought a Mafell tracksaw (it's only money), and have re-watched most of your tracksaw videos before purchase. Now of course I'm going to have to build an MFT-style bench. Even my wife says your videos are easy to listen to... Hope she doesn't take up wood-working! Looking forward to your new series. Thanks and all the best.
Thank you! Mafell’ as great saw. 👍👍
Love this Peter, thank you. Nice to see Ikea shelving still has a place in the Millard household (well, garden). Happy to take your Festool stuff off you now you've progressed to Macallister.
Haha, thanks! 😂👍
Thank you.
Great video, and a fantastic idea to have a basics build series
Thanks Nico! 👍
Excellent build Peter.
Thanks Dave! 👍
Great build peter, i tinker in my shed but being disabled money can be tight so its good to see budget type projects that are made with basic tools, looking forward to seeing more in the future. Thanks for sharing this project.
Thank you! 🙌
Love it! Keep them coming
Thank you - finally something I think I can build :)
Enjoyed this. Coming around to the idea that I need something to make square cuts quickly and reliably using the track-saw. No dedicated workshop sadly, only a chaotic family garage, so something like this might be just the ticket for me.
Very good! I really like your channel Peter!
Many thanks! 👍
Truly an economical MFT top.Yes I would like to see some Micro Jig applications.As always,a very good video.P.S. loved the shot of your patio area
Love Mrs 10 minutes cameo at 2.05 😂
😂👍
Fab video - thank you !
This guy is so bloody good
Thank you! I have the best viewers, which always helps! 🙌👍
Peter, thank you.
Peter is just a genius
I have no issues using routed t-slots. Great for stop blocks and featherboards. I only do light clamping to hold down parts. I tend to route them deeper than aluminum channel to give them more strength.
I've only used wood and mdf. I was concerned about plywood delamination. That would be a good test to try.
Cheers!
Hi Peter Millard ur ar doing amazing work really impress
I did buy the UJK parf guide system so I could basically build my own size top plus they are fun to make. But great build it was nice to see a sunny day where you are. Thanks for sharing love your channel and content
Thanks! I have the UJK Parf guide to try out, along with a couple of other jigs. 👍
Love it Peter at 2mins 14seconds "there you go, budget MFT done" had to laugh. A bit too basic !!!. Really love the build,just the thing that a tracksaw newbie like me needs,thanks so much for doing this,BTW Keith Brown gave a shoutout to Small space creations recently,he has a real good thing on doing benchdogs on the cheap.Thanks once again,come payday,this is on the list,Take care
nice work! I like it! cheers
This minimalistic build is fantastic Peter! I have built my own mft’s and get caught up with a lot of bells and whistles and have thought that a minimal setup like yours would be a great jobsite setup
Thanks! It’s surprisingly lightweight as well - much lighter than the birch ply version! 👍
Thought I could offer you a beverage! Really appreciate ALL your videos. Outstanding production as well as top-notch information.
That’s very generous of you Mike, thank you very much! If you’d care to shoot me an email through the contact form at 10MinuteWorkshop.com I’ll send you links to a couple of members videos, with my compliments! Thanks! Peter. 👍👍
Looking forward to more videos in the series Peter!
I like the idea of adding a new tool to each build to increase capabilities and workflow. Shelves, cabinets and small storage projects like drawers and organizers are great "basic" projects. A step-stool should be one of the next projects; it functions as a tool as well as a project. 🙂
Keep it up! Even as an experienced woodworker (18 years), I'll enjoy the series.
Thank you! Yes, I have a set of steps planned, too! 👍
love it
You can make t track by using 2 bits of flat bar screwed over a hole so it overhangs to provide a slot tile edging also works if screwed in place
outstanding...
F**king brilliant as usual Peter 👍🏻
This is great. I enjoyed both builds. I do have the Microjig thingy and would like to see how you would do that. Always great videos. I look forward to the next build.
What a pain the vac hose can be, watching your video Peter I'm going to try a hanging system wit a washing line, cheers.
Edit, and working in the garden when it's windy. 🙄
Great Job as always. Here in the stats we don't have the 20mm PVC pipe, but you could substitute some benchdogs from Etsy for about $25.
Nice to see rubbed joints. Very old school!
A great idea
Cracking video mate very interesting, also I like the garden mate very smart
Cheers Dan! Garden’s showing it’s age - all due to come out later this year. 👍👍
Great, straight forward build, nice garden by the way 😁. The 20mm conduit is so handy for many jigs & fixtures etc. 👍
Thank you! While garden needs re-doing as the decking’s been down 20-odd years and is starting to go, sadly. 🤷♂️👍
In my youth we made crossbow from them
Brilliant. I'm just starting out and I don't have a bench. Now I know how to build a bench without a bench.
👍
Nice job Peter. Should be an interesting series coming up
Thanks! 👍
I closed my eyes and bought the MFT3 today. The cost of aftermarket accessories is just too much not to justify buying the genuine one.
Thank you Peter - another helpful video. Pleased to read that you will be at Makers Central - look forward to seeing you there
Thanks John! Yes, I'll be there, look forwards to it! 👍
Stanton dog locks to the rescue!
Always! 🙌
Brilliant Peter think even I could do that😂
Love the ikea hacks . Rails
basic build idea is excellent. please keep the series up. perhaps some tool storage etc?
Thanks! Will do! 👍
I think you will like the Micro Jig dovetail clamps. All you need rather than an expensive T slot is a dovetail router bit.
Good idea well executed.
Thank you! Cheers!👍
Back to basics, good idea as not everyone can afford all the power tools that makes DIY easier.
