    The efficiency, of vacuuming, the same dust twice, seems a bit questionable, but i really love everything about this bench, except the vacuum, lol, I'm in process of basically duplicating it, many thanks for the ideas, and the video! I will be attaching a boom to closest wall by my bench, to manage air line, vacuum hose, lighting, and electrical. Also hope to come visit you someday, bought me 1.3 acres of a mountain, not to far from you.

    There is certainly an efficiency loss to cleaning up the clean up, but it's maybe a couple minuets every other month. So not a big deal. I do think a boom would be better, and I will probably go that route as I build my shop more.

    I was in a car accident 38 years ago that left me in a wheelchair, I am a long time wood working hobbyist (since grade school) and it would make building projects so much more enjoyable to be able to raise and lower the height of the project. I have been looking for a lifting table for many years and still cant locate one. the closest that I got was an obsolete hospital bed that I thought was strong enough to work on and I was going to purchase it, but the bean counters at the medical building thought they may have liability selling it to me so they changed their minds…oh well, the hunt continues! you did a great job modifying it and when I finally locate one, I will do the same...thanks for the video and continue to make sawdust!

    Vacuum Hose management idea.....Picture an IV pole....now adjust the length as needed. Take a properly sized shaft collar and clamp it on the cut end of the IV pole, measure the distance required for your thickness work bench thickness and position the shaft collar that distance from the end of the cut end. Then when insert into a dog hole the shaft collar will rest on the top surface of the bench top. The OD of the shaft collar will provide support for the IV pole concept, well basically a rod or pipe with one or even two bent rod hooks. The length of the pole under the shaft collar, while inserted in a dog hole, will provide lateral support. To think about it, the pole would not support anything without a dog hole. After the IV pole, or "The Pole with the Crazy Hook Things", is installed; using bungee wrapped around the vacuum hose, hook the bungee hooks on the hook on the pole. Or one could kick it up and install a ……. wait that will be coming soon. Great videos Mike, real down to earth and I enjoy all your videos.

After a few days with the new Parf System holes, my mind is racing with ideas on how to better utilize the 90 degree pattern.

There's a kid on KZread who used Festool 32mm shelf pin hole track to lay out a 96mm grid (every third hole makes 96mm) like Peter Parfitt's system. For tightwads like myself that would reduce the out-of-pocket to paying for the Parf System's long-center-spur 20mm bit, some pins, and Parfitt's slick little spring clips to float guide track up and down on his tall pins set at any spacing.

    Getting your hoes to lie straight is, Donald says, dang difficult and potentially expensive..... Take a perfectly good tall dog and drill through it to then put Velcro/wire/bandage etc through it ...... Revised thoughts pt 2: drill a 45mm dia hole (or whatever size your vac hose dia is plus some wiggle room) through a 60mmx40x80 piece of solid wood. Then turn down the body of the wood to 19.6mm x 60mm into a Festool dog that ultimately has a hole through the top of the dog. Place dog in hole and feed hose through and use to position vac to manufacture 5 more. Place three in bag and post to me. Use yours to continue dust management and consequently make more entertaining vejayos.... Greetings again from SW Australia.

    Great video, Mike! I have linear-actuated lifting on one of my workbenches, but really want to combine that feature into my primary work bench. Also, that Parf bench dog guide system looks amazing! I just wish there was a "rental" of something like that, as it doesn't seem like a jig/tool one would use often, unless you were setting up several bench tops, etc, with dog holes. Thanks for showing us such a cool work bench and configuration!
