So I downloaded your plans, but there is something that looks different to me. The plans are telling me to use 1/2" and 1/4",, when it looks like in your video you are using 3/4" and 1/2". Maybe its just my eyes I dont know. Also, after downloading the plans I see there are different ones. I am 5 foot 10 inches, but I have a bad back and don't want to be bending over to much. Do you think it would be better for me to go with the taller plans instead?
Michael, thanks for buying plans! The build is 1/2” & 1/4”, and that is indeed what I used in my personal build. It is more than strong enough...using thicker material would increase weight and cost, but not performance. So, stick with the plans and you’ll be fine. Now, I’m 5’10” as well, and the standard plans are built so that I can joint and plane boards without having to engage my shoulders. This means I use my legs for the majority of movements, which helps prevent shoulder injuries. The best way to to see if it works for you is to build a temporary stand (by stacking material, maybe), and setting your tools on the temporary stand. Make sure the tables of your tools are at the same height as they would be in the final build specified in the plans. Then do some test cuts. If you don’t like it, move it up or down until you like the way it works. With that info, you can customize the build to be just right for you. I hope this helps! If you need anything else, feel free to reach out. FYI, the best way to reach me is email. I don’t always see all the comments. Best of luck!
Or you can change the caster wheel size to a larger size or add shims between the casters and the cabinet to raise the work height if it is determined that you need another inch or so.
I really appreciate how much you continue to contribute to the woodworking community without crazy expensive gear, really highlighting that anyone can do this and not be limited to their available tools
Brilliant! Great for a small shop like mine that’s a double car garage that has to have room for the cars all winter! Thank you for sharing your creativity!
Tommy, you sir have ascended high in the esteemed ranks of makers and UA-cam creators to become my #1 source for DIY shop furniture, shop systems and fixtures. Coincidentally, I have some of the same equipment. Everything you build is ingenious (well thought out, not too expensive and easy to build). For the time being, until I 'pull the trigger' on whether to build a shed/shop in the back yard, or convert a bedroom into a shop, (no garage) I have a growing collection of shop tools and equipment, all still in boxes. This jointer and planer combo stand with integrated dust collection is near the top of my priority shop to do list. Your 'simple track saw' will probably be the 1st. So thanks for the inspiration Tommy, and please continue to build great projects and videos.
Thank you! Those some are some very solid compliments, and I really appreciate you taking the time to let me know how much you're enjoying my channel. Good luck getting your shop set up. Hopefully you'll be able to get all those tools out of their boxes before too long!
I bought the plans for this some time ago when I decided to buy a planer and have wanted to build it since. It was perfect because I have the same jointer and planer as you do in the video. I finally built it and finished it today and it is a nice addition to my shop. I modified the plans only slightly so the stand would have the same look and feel as other cabinets and projects in my shop. I used a white Formica laminate on the top horizontal surfaces and trimmed the edges with 1/2" red oak to hide the plywood edges and give it a finished looked. Used the same wooden drawer pulls I have on my other cabinets as well. I also used 3/4" ply for the base. Don't know if it needed that, but I had it on hand so decided to use it. The rest is according to the awesome plans and video. Thanks Tommy! I enjoy your videos.
You are an excellent craftsman ... esp. for things and types of builds we amateurs would be doing. Your "thinking on the fly" solutions are great. Keep up the good work!
I can't begin to tell you guys how long I've been wanting to build this board milling station. It was such a pain to setup for jointing and planing before, and it is such a breeze now. Words can't describe how thrilled I am. Let me know what you think!
One Minute Workbench curious if you’ve had issues with your machines getting clogged up with waste. I’ve heard from a lot of people that shopvacs don’t have enough power to pull heavy waste that comes out of jointers and planers, and you need a dedicated 1-2HP dust collector for them.
Thanks! I'm glad you got something out of it. I think there's a lot of misinformation out there about 3D printing. Some people think they are only for printing Yoda bobble-heads and other toys, or that 3D printed parts aren't durable enough for actual use. If plastic is the best material for a part, then a 3D printer is great for one-offs like those vacuum adapters. I'd like to incorporate more 3D printing into my videos, but only when it makes sense - we'll see. Thanks again!
I enjoy 3D fabrication, but invested in a CNC router before a 3D printer. It was the right choice for me, but I love the idea of creating parts, as needed. I look forward to future videos.
So I bought the plans and mede his tall version. Everyone that comes in the shop loves it, all the storage, dust collection.... wow, that 5 gallon bucket fills so fast with planner I am thinking of removing the planner and replacing it with some other shop tool. It was a very fun project to do, pretty easy. Thanks for the idea!
Thanks for being a customer and for sharing your experience! I used to have a big bin for my planer, but I personally enjoy dumping the smaller one more frequently than the larger one less often...it was a pain and real mess. That said, before you move the planer somewhere else, you could just hook it up to a larger bin that is more stationary...or at least easy to move around. Let me know what you think!
Hey Michael, my jointer is 75 lbs and planer is 75 lbs. They each require about an area of 24" by 36" . Just need to make sure I will have the surface area and strength and thank you for your time. Will definitely be using the tall since i am 6' 3". Happy to like and subscribe.
Pretty impressed. I really wasn't even going to watch this because i didn't think it really applied to me, but i really enjoyed your project and it looks super functional. The way you incorporated the vac and dust deputy to the cart really is very slick and your bucket method is very creative and obviously effective.
Finally got the time to build the Milling station and I’m pleased with how it turned out. One of my drawers is a little wonky though and won’t flush up with the cabinet. Not sure what I did wrong but still really happy with it. I have an 8 inch jointer that is a bit longer than yours so I ran the depth on my cabinet to 34 inches to accommodate the length of my jointer. I lucked out and was able to fit my shop vac on the short side of the cabinet. I have a dust stopper and it fits on the tall side. So I didn’t have to do that whole electric set up or cyclone build. I have a 2 outlet box with a delay on it for the vac and was able to run the planer and jointer straight to the box. Lastly… the height design you came up with is spot on and works great for me. Kudos for a well thought out project and excellent plans!
Wow! Thanks Tommy! What a great video with some awesome tips. I like that you include your mistakes and how you corrected them. I really appreciate that! I'm looking forwards to more of your video tutorials.
I like the design! I have the exact same jointer and thickness planer so it was great to see something built specifically for what I already have. Good job!
Just found and watched (UA-cam recommendation) your video! Awesome shop space saving solution. This gave me some excellent ideas... Thanks so much for sharing!
Bought the plans, completed the stand for my Jet 6” benchtop jointer and DeWalt DW-735 planer. Added black microdot Formica to tops and drawer faces, easier than I thought and really dresses up the stand, plus the slick surface is great for dust cleanup. Half inch plywood construction is stronger than I expected, but still added two 1” tall ribs on the planer side, made from 3/4” plywood. Also, drawers at 10” are a bit small, if I could do it over again I’d move the interior wall (that separates the front from the rear) back another 2” to accommodate 12” drawers. There’s a lot of empty space on the rear, it’s an easy change. Also found that 10” drawer slides are very limited, e.g., no soft-close or soft-close with less than full extension. At 12” the slide options explode. Lastly, for $10 at big box stores you can buy a Defiant AC adapter with a small wireless on/off fob. So much easier than routing a switch plus switched receptacle. Lastly lastly, I used a 2-gang junction box instead of two one-gang. Much cleaner, and less wiring because everything is in the box. Next up is to solve the Dust Deputy non-standard connections. I don’t have a 3-d printer so the video’s solution didn’t apply, unless I can buy those adapters somewhere. (?) Fun project, learned a lot!
This is my new favorite channel. I love the flexibility of the dust collection system. I started making a similar cabinet today except I have added a folding out feed table for the planer. It also helps the reduce the noise of the vacuum when the jointer is running.
Great build and very good use of space. The best trick in this whole thing is having the cyclone on top in the dead space between machines and the bucket down below - that totally makes everything work! (I've got some rethinking to do for my shop...)
Beautiful build, I will be incorporating many of your ideas into a similar project that I'm planning to start soon. Thanks for the inspiration! I have one suggestion for your dust collection system. It would seem that since your planer already has a blower, you could just route its hose to another hole in the top of the cabinet, next to the Dust Deputy but still over the bucket. The dust deputy is there to filter the dust from reaching the vacuum. With the jointer, this is necessary but since you aren't relying on the suction of the vacuum for the planer, the dust deputy isn't actually doing anything when hooked to the planer. Leave the vacuum/DD combo hooked up to the jointer and let the planer dump its dust directly into the bucket and you won't have to move hoses anymore.
Thanks David! I'm glad you're inspired to do a similar project! I appreciate the suggestion...so you know, the dust separator actually divides the particles of dust out of the air and gives the air a place to escape. So even though the planer has it's own blower, it has to go through the dust separator for the dust to wind up in the bucket, and the air to wind up in the....well, air 😉 I hope this make sense! Good luck with your build - let me know how it goes!
@@OneMinuteWorkbench Are you not concerned about fine dust particles being pumped into the air when you're planing? I would think adding a 1-2 micron bag to the collector would capture that so you're not breathing harmful dust.
Wow, Tommy, that was great and a good idea to combine the two. If I had not already build two separate cabinets, I would definitely be doing this build. Great video (sound, explanation, closeups, etc.) . Very, very good job. Your channel has some great content and certainly shows those building out their small workshop how to build many things for themselves vs purchasing. Good for you!
This is how I'll replace the lost gasket seal on my whole house vacuum. I inadvertently threw it in the trash and they don't make my model anymore and couldn't find a replacement ANYWHERE! You're a genius. I have the Dewalt but now need to get the jointer. I'm just retired and getting my shop started.
Ouch.. hand planing a plywood edge.. I feel for you! (and your plane!) Great project!. A quick timesaving tip - when you mark the outside for pins and screws, just mark the middle. You don't even have to measure - the middle ply will tell you where when you transfer it around the edge. Also.. you don't mention it, but I'm sure you thought it - watch where you pin the wheel blocks. If you hit a pin when attaching the wheel, it could compromise the strength of that screw holding the wheel. Or just make it go in crooked. :-)
Thank you, and thanks for the feedback and suggestions! Definitely could just draw a single line, at least on the outside. Since the plywood can have a bow to it, I like to have two lines (again, at least on the inside) so that I can line it up along its entire length from either side of the board I'm standing on. I guess that could be avoided too though. You'd just need to line up the ends with the middle ply, and then use a straight edge to make sure the bow was pulled out of it before firing a couple pins in the middle. The pins I used on this job are 23 gauge (very wispy), so they are no match for the screws that hold the wheels...actually, since I drill pilot holes, they are certainly no match for the drill bit. If it was a 16 gauge brad nail, that'd be a different story 🤣 Anyway, thanks again!
At first I was thinking eh it doesn't look bad but towards the end I can see you really put some for thought into it and I admith the dust separator location and setup you have is really a nice idea.
Turned out great...I guess I should have shown longer/closer in the video. I do this often when I have a piece of plywood that is overhanging or otherwise just a smidge to big. The trick is to keep your plane irons really sharp, and never use the plane so that it goes "off the edge" but instead use it so that it comes towards the edge. If you use it so that it goes off the edge, it'll create chip-out at that corner. If you go towards it....and your plane is nice and sharp, you'll be okay.
Thank you - I'm glad you like it! It should fit a wide variety of jointers and planers, so don't think you have to buy the exact ones I have. If you do build one, let me know how it goes!
Great video! Love it! I have the exact same jointer and planer. This will be great if I can make space in my small shop. I'll be looking into that and getting your plans. Thanks! 👍
Excellent execution and engineering as usual! I am trying to design and build an ultra workbench infusing ideas/the basic design from your integrated bench with the dust collection from this build. I love the inclusion of homemade adapters via 3D printing. Ingenious. Absolutely ingenious. Well done.
@@OneMinuteWorkbench you're welcome. Redesigning the bench interior now...can you tell me the total height (from the base of the 5 gallon bucket to the top of the hose (where it bends)? ....Trying to see if i can embed it all in the bench interior.
My Dewalt 735 planer just came in last night. I have been wanting this planer for a LONG time. I first watched this video about a year or so ago and immediately knew that when I got my planer, this was the plan I was going to use to set up my milling station. I just bought your plans this morning and I am hoping to start the build this weekend. Thank you for sharing and making the price of the plans affordable. Please continue to provide us rookies with great content! Again, Thank you
Congrats on your new planer, thanks for buying plans, and good luck with the build! Also, thanks for letting me know you’ve been enjoying the channel - it makes my day 🙂
Knocked out my mobile planer / jointer mobile base over the past few days. Added some leftover oak to trim the top edge to help keep the plywood from getting chipped.
Nice design. My only suggestion is to use a 2” hose for your shop vac. It doesn’t require an adapter to fit onto the dust deputy and you’ll get much better with the larger diameter hose.
That is one awesome set up! I'll never ever have the wherewithal etc, so I"m going to continue to sweep up the chips and dust after. My vacuum kept sucking in the sides of the plastic bucket so i put a large pot inside to support it. One day I opened up the lid to empty the dust and a very powerful shock zapped me... scared the you know what out of me... so... for safety's sake, I'm gonna let that stuff fall on the floor.
Very clever to mount the dust deputy to the top of the stand! One of the main issues with the dust deputy is that it tends to tip over. One issue might be having the planer and shop vac on same circuit. It can trip the breaker for some people, especially if you first start up both machines at the same time. Switching on one then the other would be possible with a mod to your system by adding an extra switch.
Thanks - I'm glad you like it! I only ever run the vacuum with the jointer, because the planer has its own blower, and therefore doesn't require it. While running the vacuum and the jointer, I've never had it trip the breaker, and I always run it on a 15-amp circuit. I'm also not quite sure what you mean about adding another switch. Could you explain that a little more?
just an extra switch wired for the dust collector, so you can turn on the tool first, then wait 15 seconds and turn on the dust collector conveniently. You may already be able to do that and don't need it since the planer has a built in blower. I think the planer is the biggest energy user. I don't have dedicated circuits in my small basement shop, so a few other things are on them, nothing heavy duty, but I pay attention to some of that. I'm no expert on electrical stuff, though.
I'm definitely no expert on electrical either. I've learned most of what I know from Sparky Channel on UA-cam...good stuff. That said, I do have the vacuum on a separate switch. I can turn either tool on without the vacuum, I can turn the vacuum on without either tool, or I can run any combination of them in any order. I hope this makes sense.
I've been going crazy on how to integrate my planer & jointer. Came across your great video. Bought your plans. They are very detailed and in logical sequence. However, I was given a bunch of different size 3/4" plywood and two small pieces of 1/2" plywood. Will using 3/4" throw off the dimensions ? I'll wait to precut the drawer lumber until the cabinet is done. Thanks again for your idea & plans. Keep up the great work.
Larry, I'm glad you found the plans, and I appreciate you buying them! You can substitute 3/4" for 1/2", but you'll need to make a couple of adjustments. I'll send you an email with some more details. Thanks again!
Thanks! That's an awesome compliment! I've been working on the plans non-stop, and am putting the finishing touches on right now...should be about 30 more minutes before they're on the website ;-)
I like the lever to lift the waste bucket. You can also use a 12 inch (child’s size) bicycle inner tube. Pump up to raise the bucket release air to lower bucket. For easy access use an extension hose. You might also find a way to use an inner tube as an expanding seal at the top of the bucket.
Hope you don't mind, but I think I'll yoink your bucket sealing idea and adapt it for my new all in one workbench. It's a really great idea. Thanks for the inspiration!
For the adapters, there is an even simpler option than a 3D printer: PVC pipe and a heat gun. Get some pipe that is roughly the right size, heat it up with a heat gun (I had to set mine to 450 F), and once it is soft, press it onto the opening. Hold it for a bit while it cools, and you have a perfect fit. Unfortunately, the PVC isn't very "sticky", so even though the sizes are correct, it sometimes slides off the fitting. A makeshift gasket can help with that. I haven't tried anything fancier like plastidip or something, but that might work. Of course, then you don't get to use the 3D printer.
Once again another video that has already given me Ideas to improve my work space. You are so right! usually when using one machine you also need the other so there is no better place to put them than together. Currently when I run my machines I just let the chips pile up on the floor figuring it is just easier to clean up after I am done. With the dust collection built in that will make that job much easier. My only question is why didn't you incorporate a couple of blast gates so you don't have to stop and reconnect hoses? All in all a great video.
Thanks! I'm glad you like the video and are getting inspired to improve your shop. I thought about doing blast gates, but it seemed like a lot of extra work (in 3D design & printing) or expense (in actual money 😉) for not too much of a saving in time. It would definitely look slicker, but I'd still have to close one gate and open the other so it'd be about the same time. The other issues is that every time I read the reviews for those things, it seems like people are unhappy with leaks, clogs around the gates or restricted airflow at Y-joints; and this would probably require a Y-joint. So that takes me back to the idea of doing the work myself and just 3D printing it so I can be sure I get the performance I'm looking for...lot of work, lol. I've been cooking up an idea for a Y-joint that has a divider right at the Y to direct airflow (and dust) more directly, and I've been thinking about it off and on for probably a year. I just haven't quite figured out how to do it in a way that won't leak and will be very smooth/streamlined inside so as to avoid clogs and buildup. If you think of something, let me know! Thanks again!
@@OneMinuteWorkbench I can see you have already given it a lot of thought. Sounds like the subject for a future video. looking forward to future ideas!
Good solution to a common problem, did you think about bypassing the dust deputy for the thicknesser as it has it's own blower, just put the thicknesser directly into the bucket through a hole in the plywood, and leave the planer connected to the vac / dust deputy all the time.
So the thing is that the air needs a way to escape, while not allowing the dust to escape. For example, if you just hook it up to the bucket, and the bucket is sealed, all you've done is plug the blower. The blower is actually powerful enough that it'll push air past the seal, but dust will come with it. You could put a hole somewhere to allow air to escape, but then you'd need a filter to keep the dust from coming with it (and it would clog very quickly). The dust separator works to remove the dust from the air based on its geometry. Anyway, I hope this helps!
Thank you for sharing a very nice build. However, a word of advice from the 1:03 portion of the video: Never rip cut a piece on the table saw that is wider than it's length. There is an issue with instability because the piece will be more prone to pivot and not track along your intended cutting line. This will cause it to bind with the blade resulting in a very violent and potentially very dangerous kick-back. Glad that you had no issues here! Let's go build something, but let's all try and work safe because a trip to the ER is never fun! Thanks again.
So I downloaded your plans, but there is something that looks different to me. The plans are telling me to use 1/2" and 1/4",, when it looks like in your video you are using 3/4" and 1/2". Maybe its just my eyes I dont know.

Love the build. Drill and countersink in one is a great little pickup to save a step when assembling. Speeds up your efficiency.
Thank you!
Thanks. I just get excited when I see something I can use to make my shop better.
You're very welcome, William! If you build one, let me know how it turns out!
First time watcher. Project....very cool. Production value. Great. A calm music track is good too! :)
Thanks, and thanks for the feedback about the music!
One Minute Workbench Hope I wasn’t insulting. Wife said I’m a jackass. Edited now. :(. Sorry
lol 🤣 no worries! I'm sure your wife is a very sharp lady...If you ask my girlfriend, she might have some choice descriptions of me as well 😉
@One Minute Workbench You’re just one of those nice people, Tommy. You’re gentle. I wish I was more like that. Have a merry Christmas!
Thanks Brent! I hope you and your family are enjoying the holidays!
Excellent design and execution.
Thank you!
very clean work! the drawers came out looking nice
Thank you!
Great job! Very efficient putting both machines into one milling station.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Just found and watched (UA-cam recommendation) your video! Awesome shop space saving solution. This gave me some excellent ideas... Thanks so much for sharing!
Bought the plans, completed the stand for my Jet 6” benchtop jointer and DeWalt DW-735 planer. Added black microdot Formica to tops and drawer faces, easier than I thought and really dresses up the stand, plus the slick surface is great for dust cleanup. Half inch plywood construction is stronger than I expected, but still added two 1” tall ribs on the planer side, made from 3/4” plywood. Also, drawers at 10” are a bit small, if I could do it over again I’d move the interior wall (that separates the front from the rear) back another 2” to accommodate 12” drawers. There’s a lot of empty space on the rear, it’s an easy change. Also found that 10” drawer slides are very limited, e.g., no soft-close or soft-close with less than full extension. At 12” the slide options explode. Lastly, for $10 at big box stores you can buy a Defiant AC adapter with a small wireless on/off fob. So much easier than routing a switch plus switched receptacle. Lastly lastly, I used a 2-gang junction box instead of two one-gang. Much cleaner, and less wiring because everything is in the box. Next up is to solve the Dust Deputy non-standard connections. I don’t have a 3-d printer so the video’s solution didn’t apply, unless I can buy those adapters somewhere. (?) Fun project, learned a lot!
This is my new favorite channel. I love the flexibility of the dust collection system. I started making a similar cabinet today except I have added a folding out feed table for the planer. It also helps the reduce the noise of the vacuum when the jointer is running.
Thank you for the awesome compliment of being your new fav! Good luck with your build. Let me know how it turns out!
This is old but I’d love to see the out feed on the planer
Great build and very good use of space. The best trick in this whole thing is having the cyclone on top in the dead space between machines and the bucket down below - that totally makes everything work! (I've got some rethinking to do for my shop...)
Thanks, Rob! I'm glad this project got you thinking about efficient use of space...that's pretty much what my channel is all about! Good luck!
Nice! Loved it. Thanks for sharing the plans.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Nice build, well done.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for making this and providing the plans for purchase, this is exactly what I was looking for; I even have the same jointer.
These are my next 2 tools exactly. I just built a workbench that will accomodate both of them. I like the dust collection system.
Thank you! Good luck getting setting up!
I haven’t seen the depth stop by wood trick before. I like that. The cart is good, probably with do something similar.
Beautiful build, I will be incorporating many of your ideas into a similar project that I'm planning to start soon. Thanks for the inspiration! I have one suggestion for your dust collection system. It would seem that since your planer already has a blower, you could just route its hose to another hole in the top of the cabinet, next to the Dust Deputy but still over the bucket. The dust deputy is there to filter the dust from reaching the vacuum. With the jointer, this is necessary but since you aren't relying on the suction of the vacuum for the planer, the dust deputy isn't actually doing anything when hooked to the planer. Leave the vacuum/DD combo hooked up to the jointer and let the planer dump its dust directly into the bucket and you won't have to move hoses anymore.
Thanks David! I'm glad you're inspired to do a similar project! I appreciate the suggestion...so you know, the dust separator actually divides the particles of dust out of the air and gives the air a place to escape. So even though the planer has it's own blower, it has to go through the dust separator for the dust to wind up in the bucket, and the air to wind up in the....well, air 😉 I hope this make sense! Good luck with your build - let me know how it goes!
@@OneMinuteWorkbench Are you not concerned about fine dust particles being pumped into the air when you're planing? I would think adding a 1-2 micron bag to the collector would capture that so you're not breathing harmful dust.
Hi love your quality and aesthetic approach. Like the detailed plans too.
Thank you - I appreciate the compliment! Sounds like you bought the plans; thanks for that also! Let me know how it goes with your build!
Excellent video and process. Thank you for the inspiration and the excellent plans.
Thank you! I'm glad you dig it!
Wow, Tommy, that was great and a good idea to combine the two. If I had not already build two separate cabinets, I would definitely be doing this build. Great video (sound, explanation, closeups, etc.) . Very, very good job. Your channel has some great content and certainly shows those building out their small workshop how to build many things for themselves vs purchasing. Good for you!
Thank you for the wonderful compliments!
the bucket sealing is very very clever ;-)
Thanks! I'm glad you dig it!
This is how I'll replace the lost gasket seal on my whole house vacuum. I inadvertently threw it in the trash and they don't make my model anymore and couldn't find a replacement ANYWHERE! You're a genius. I have the Dewalt but now need to get the jointer. I'm just retired and getting my shop started.
Excellent job. Very clever. 👍
Thank you!
Fantastic use of space. I face the same challenges and love this concept.
Thanks! Glad you like it!
This is the second video (that i can remember) where the adapters needed to hook up to odd sized vacuum ports were made with a 3D printer. BRAVO!
brilliant on the seal! congrats on a great build and video!
Ouch.. hand planing a plywood edge.. I feel for you! (and your plane!) Great project!. A quick timesaving tip - when you mark the outside for pins and screws, just mark the middle. You don't even have to measure - the middle ply will tell you where when you transfer it around the edge. Also.. you don't mention it, but I'm sure you thought it - watch where you pin the wheel blocks. If you hit a pin when attaching the wheel, it could compromise the strength of that screw holding the wheel. Or just make it go in crooked. :-)
Thank you, and thanks for the feedback and suggestions! Definitely could just draw a single line, at least on the outside. Since the plywood can have a bow to it, I like to have two lines (again, at least on the inside) so that I can line it up along its entire length from either side of the board I'm standing on. I guess that could be avoided too though. You'd just need to line up the ends with the middle ply, and then use a straight edge to make sure the bow was pulled out of it before firing a couple pins in the middle. The pins I used on this job are 23 gauge (very wispy), so they are no match for the screws that hold the wheels...actually, since I drill pilot holes, they are certainly no match for the drill bit. If it was a 16 gauge brad nail, that'd be a different story 🤣 Anyway, thanks again!
Wow that's awesome great job
At first I was thinking eh it doesn't look bad but towards the end I can see you really put some for thought into it and I admith the dust separator location and setup you have is really a nice idea.
Thanks! I’m glad it won you over!
Yet another great idea and terrific video!
Thanks, Chris!
Great plan about halfway done. Just bought the plan. Tried to build from video. No way. Thanks for the plan.
Peter, thanks for letting me (and the world) know that you're enjoying the plans - you made my day! Good luck finishing up the project!
That is really nice. I absolutely love this build. I will buy those plans when I'm ready to make my own.
Thank you - I'm glad you dig it!
excellent video and project. since there is no love button because I love this project, i pressed the like button very hard.
Awesome comment - thanks!
@@OneMinuteWorkbench I saw you plane a plywood edge, how did that turn out
Turned out great...I guess I should have shown longer/closer in the video. I do this often when I have a piece of plywood that is overhanging or otherwise just a smidge to big. The trick is to keep your plane irons really sharp, and never use the plane so that it goes "off the edge" but instead use it so that it comes towards the edge. If you use it so that it goes off the edge, it'll create chip-out at that corner. If you go towards it....and your plane is nice and sharp, you'll be okay.
Very nice project! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! I'm glad you dig it!
That's a nice simple solution. Thanks for sharing
Thanks and you're welcome! I'm glad you dig it!
Awesome dust extraction system!
Thank you! Glad you think so!
Very practical table, good job. Thanks
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
That's a hell of an idea. Once I get my shop set up I'm going to have to make this
Thanks! Time to get going on that shop! Let me know how it goes!
@@OneMinuteWorkbench well, I've got 4 horse stalls, a tractor, 2 riding mowers to move and a bench to build.
Lol, sounds like you’ve got your hands full 😂
Damn that’s nice, great thought put into it. Great craftsmanship
That's an awsome milling station great video
Thanks!
what a great setup you have gave me a few ideas
Thanks! I'm glad you found it helpful!
What an amazing build man!
Thanks! I'm glad you dig it!
Smooth bro, real smooth.
Very nice setup.
Great project. Will definitely watch again when I can get the planar and jointer. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you - I'm glad you like it! It should fit a wide variety of jointers and planers, so don't think you have to buy the exact ones I have. If you do build one, let me know how it goes!
Awesome job. So nice. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you! I'm glad you found it inspirational!
Great video! Love it! I have the exact same jointer and planer. This will be great if I can make space in my small shop. I'll be looking into that and getting your plans. Thanks! 👍
I’m glad you dig it!
Excellent execution and engineering as usual! I am trying to design and build an ultra workbench infusing ideas/the basic design from your integrated bench with the dust collection from this build. I love the inclusion of homemade adapters via 3D printing. Ingenious. Absolutely ingenious. Well done.
Thank you for the compliments, Brad -I appreciate it very much! Good luck coming up with your dream build!
@@OneMinuteWorkbench you're welcome. Redesigning the bench interior now...can you tell me the total height (from the base of the 5 gallon bucket to the top of the hose (where it bends)? ....Trying to see if i can embed it all in the bench interior.
I’m out of town at the moment - send me an email to remind through the website, and I’ll get back to you in a few days. I hope this helps!
@@OneMinuteWorkbench will do! Happy Thanksgiving!
@@OneMinuteWorkbench Tommy, please check your email...sent something last week
My Dewalt 735 planer just came in last night. I have been wanting this planer for a LONG time. I first watched this video about a year or so ago and immediately knew that when I got my planer, this was the plan I was going to use to set up my milling station. I just bought your plans this morning and I am hoping to start the build this weekend. Thank you for sharing and making the price of the plans affordable. Please continue to provide us rookies with great content! Again, Thank you
Congrats on your new planer, thanks for buying plans, and good luck with the build! Also, thanks for letting me know you’ve been enjoying the channel - it makes my day 🙂
Brilliant!!! You made this look so easy!! LOL
Best video ever. Well done 👍
Thanks!
Good job Tommy!
Thanks!
The depth stop idea when you drill is genius. I can’t believe I’ve never seen that before. Good video.
Knocked out my mobile planer / jointer mobile base over the past few days. Added some leftover oak to trim the top edge to help keep the plywood from getting chipped.
Great video and really like the concept
Thanks, I'm glad you like it!
Nice design. My only suggestion is to use a 2” hose for your shop vac. It doesn’t require an adapter to fit onto the dust deputy and you’ll get much better with the larger diameter hose.
That is one awesome set up! I'll never ever have the wherewithal etc, so I"m going to continue to sweep up the chips and dust after. My vacuum kept sucking in the sides of the plastic bucket so i put a large pot inside to support it. One day I opened up the lid to empty the dust and a very powerful shock zapped me... scared the you know what out of me... so... for safety's sake, I'm gonna let that stuff fall on the floor.
Static is real, and the results can be shocking! ⚡️⚡️
Clever as hell! I've not seen another setup quite like this one, kudos.
Thanks, Randy!
Very clever to mount the dust deputy to the top of the stand! One of the main issues with the dust deputy is that it tends to tip over. One issue might be having the planer and shop vac on same circuit. It can trip the breaker for some people, especially if you first start up both machines at the same time. Switching on one then the other would be possible with a mod to your system by adding an extra switch.
Thanks - I'm glad you like it! I only ever run the vacuum with the jointer, because the planer has its own blower, and therefore doesn't require it. While running the vacuum and the jointer, I've never had it trip the breaker, and I always run it on a 15-amp circuit. I'm also not quite sure what you mean about adding another switch. Could you explain that a little more?
just an extra switch wired for the dust collector, so you can turn on the tool first, then wait 15 seconds and turn on the dust collector conveniently. You may already be able to do that and don't need it since the planer has a built in blower. I think the planer is the biggest energy user.
I don't have dedicated circuits in my small basement shop, so a few other things are on them, nothing heavy duty, but I pay attention to some of that. I'm no expert on electrical stuff, though.
I'm definitely no expert on electrical either. I've learned most of what I know from Sparky Channel on UA-cam...good stuff. That said, I do have the vacuum on a separate switch. I can turn either tool on without the vacuum, I can turn the vacuum on without either tool, or I can run any combination of them in any order. I hope this makes sense.
@@OneMinuteWorkbench Yes, it makes sense now, thanks. I'll try the sparky channel.
I've been going crazy on how to integrate my planer & jointer. Came across your great video. Bought your plans. They are very detailed and in logical sequence. However, I was given a bunch of different size 3/4" plywood and two small pieces of 1/2" plywood. Will using 3/4" throw off the dimensions ? I'll wait to precut the drawer lumber until the cabinet is done. Thanks again for your idea & plans. Keep up the great work.
Larry, I'm glad you found the plans, and I appreciate you buying them! You can substitute 3/4" for 1/2", but you'll need to make a couple of adjustments. I'll send you an email with some more details. Thanks again!
Man, a 2-position gate for the dust collector hoses would be perfect, like an A-B switch. One would always be open.
Great design and build, even better video! I never buy plans but this might be too good to pass up...
Thanks! That's an awesome compliment! I've been working on the plans non-stop, and am putting the finishing touches on right now...should be about 30 more minutes before they're on the website ;-)
Plans are up! If you buy it, get in touch and let me now what you think!
Nice build
Great built Tommy, really complete and full of awesome features 👏👏👏
Thanks, Bunchi!
Excellent vidéo! Gets right to the point. You are now my favorite new channel. :-)
Thanks - I'm honored to be your new favorite!
I like the lever to lift the waste bucket. You can also use a 12 inch (child’s size) bicycle inner tube. Pump up to raise the bucket release air to lower bucket. For easy access use an extension hose.
You might also find a way to use an inner tube as an expanding seal at the top of the bucket.
Really great cart. Love your channel.
Thank you! I'm very happy to know that you're enjoying the channel!
Awesome build! I shall have one
Thanks! If you do build one, let me know how it turns out!
Hope you don't mind, but I think I'll yoink your bucket sealing idea and adapt it for my new all in one workbench. It's a really great idea.
Thanks for the inspiration!
For the adapters, there is an even simpler option than a 3D printer: PVC pipe and a heat gun. Get some pipe that is roughly the right size, heat it up with a heat gun (I had to set mine to 450 F), and once it is soft, press it onto the opening. Hold it for a bit while it cools, and you have a perfect fit. Unfortunately, the PVC isn't very "sticky", so even though the sizes are correct, it sometimes slides off the fitting. A makeshift gasket can help with that. I haven't tried anything fancier like plastidip or something, but that might work.
Of course, then you don't get to use the 3D printer.
Once again another video that has already given me Ideas to improve my work space. You are so right! usually when using one machine you also need the other so there is no better place to put them than together. Currently when I run my machines I just let the chips pile up on the floor figuring it is just easier to clean up after I am done. With the dust collection built in that will make that job much easier. My only question is why didn't you incorporate a couple of blast gates so you don't have to stop and reconnect hoses? All in all a great video.
Thanks! I'm glad you like the video and are getting inspired to improve your shop. I thought about doing blast gates, but it seemed like a lot of extra work (in 3D design & printing) or expense (in actual money 😉) for not too much of a saving in time. It would definitely look slicker, but I'd still have to close one gate and open the other so it'd be about the same time. The other issues is that every time I read the reviews for those things, it seems like people are unhappy with leaks, clogs around the gates or restricted airflow at Y-joints; and this would probably require a Y-joint. So that takes me back to the idea of doing the work myself and just 3D printing it so I can be sure I get the performance I'm looking for...lot of work, lol. I've been cooking up an idea for a Y-joint that has a divider right at the Y to direct airflow (and dust) more directly, and I've been thinking about it off and on for probably a year. I just haven't quite figured out how to do it in a way that won't leak and will be very smooth/streamlined inside so as to avoid clogs and buildup. If you think of something, let me know! Thanks again!
@@OneMinuteWorkbench I can see you have already given it a lot of thought. Sounds like the subject for a future video. looking forward to future ideas!
Good solution to a common problem, did you think about bypassing the dust deputy for the thicknesser as it has it's own blower, just put the thicknesser directly into the bucket through a hole in the plywood, and leave the planer connected to the vac / dust deputy all the time.
So the thing is that the air needs a way to escape, while not allowing the dust to escape. For example, if you just hook it up to the bucket, and the bucket is sealed, all you've done is plug the blower. The blower is actually powerful enough that it'll push air past the seal, but dust will come with it. You could put a hole somewhere to allow air to escape, but then you'd need a filter to keep the dust from coming with it (and it would clog very quickly). The dust separator works to remove the dust from the air based on its geometry. Anyway, I hope this helps!
Thank you for sharing a very nice build. However, a word of advice from the 1:03 portion of the video: Never rip cut a piece on the table saw that is wider than it's length. There is an issue with instability because the piece will be more prone to pivot and not track along your intended cutting line. This will cause it to bind with the blade resulting in a very violent and potentially very dangerous kick-back. Glad that you had no issues here! Let's go build something, but let's all try and work safe because a trip to the ER is never fun! Thanks again.
Thank you, and thanks for the safety advice!
Well thought out. Nice job.
