can you elaborate on the router lift in the next video? i.e. briefly how it works and what type of router (fixed base or hand held) they are designed to incorporate.

Hey man, clean out your nailer and add a dry lube to all moving parts and any place a nail contacts. WD40 makes a dry lube spray that works great.

Without giving away,too much, where in midwest? Thanks. And what do you think of doubling up shop vac for dust collection on mitre saw?

Travis, on behalf of the internet...thank you for the mitred corners! 👍🏻😆

I have done some woodworks in the past but this woodwork plan kzread.infoUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG helps me do much in a far lesser time than i used to do i have already built several projects with this plan and i intend to do many more soon. Thank you so much!

Always refreshing to see others struggle with projects as much as I do. Thanks for keeping your content fun and approachable

Helpful hint for MDF: Since you are mounting your router lift directly on an MDF rabbet you can soak the area where the jack screws will be with super glue. Once it dries it will create a solid surface less susceptible to denting from the perimeter screws on the router lift. I use that trick to strengthen MDF.

That's a great tip

YT is all about perfection, and I am bored with it. Thank you for showing everyone you are human! The work you have done on this channel is epic. You mentioned that you felt compelled to make a cut because of YT eyes. That is a lot of pressure, you all know us beginners are going to cut those corners square off. Please don't stop with your epic videos.

Dude, I love that you make mistakes and have no shame in sharing them with us. You'd think some of the other KZread woodworkers out there are gods they way they don't ever show their screw ups. Thanks for being a "regular joe" like the rest of us!

Agreed, one thing I've learned early on is to own your mistakes, shows character and builds respect. Peers will be more willing to help you move forward.

The screwup and bacon were the best part, glad you kept it in the video. Those mishaps make the avg joe feel more comfortable when tackling projects of their own.

Just purchased these plane, blown away by the level of engineering and design. Glad to support someone who puts this kind of effort into his product. Well done, and can't wait to get to work. Will post progress pics as I progress through this project.

Thank you so much for leaving in the mistakes and showing we are all human. I love the work and the integrity. The mistakes help show us that it is okay and can be over come. I am new to the channel and working on the back library and looking forward to more greatness to come!

Love the bench! ...and you're honesty in mistakes made. Well done Sir!

Lol.... the drawer slide thing and the magnets, UGH! I love it when people leave in their mistakes. We're all human, god knows I've done it before myself. Ohhhh, how I hate those stupid bearings on the router bit! And the bacon bit was good too :) Good info and entertaining.

I know this is an older upload, but I love how you show your mistakes. And putting in you center panel the wrong way is definitely something we have all done.

Dude, watching you hammer in every brad nail had me cracking up 😂 I just dealt with the same thing on my Ryobi Airstrike and ended up taking it all apart and added a generous amount of silicone lubricant to the inside piston. Worked like a charm!

I feel you added alot more of your personality in this build and it was great. Be yourself, the community loves it.

Great feedback, thanks!

5:55 - the nail gun - check if the hammer inside does not have damaged tip and if it's well lubricated. and of course, remove any dirt that may have accumulated around any moving parts.

I had the same problem with my ridgid hyperdrive brushless brad nailer. Ridgid told me to take back to Home Depot tool desk for repair. When I did they told me ~8 weeks! So I went to HD customer service and told them. My receipt was loaded into Ridgid LSA website so I pulled it up. They gave me a gift card for the purchase price (about 1.5 years ago) and I bought a dewalt pancake compress combo kit with a pneumatic Brad nailer. I’m much happier and the nail head is below the surface!

Travis, Thank you for sharing your trials and tribulations, it makes for an entertaining and learning experience.

Love the video so far! Would like to build one as soon as I get rid of the mess in my garage. Also, thanks for showing the mistakes we all make but hope no one actually sees. It really brings the videos home for us, the weekend warriors.

I like that you aren’t shy about sharing the “WTF did I do that for” moments. There’s a good chance I’d do all of those things and then some!

LOL...I call those "thinking errors!" At least you caught it. Great channel!

Enjoying the building process. I am currently in the design phase for a new mobile work bench in our shop and honestly have been avoiding it because of the cold weather we have been having (I'm cheap when it comes to running the heat)... but today the casters came in so no more excuses lol. Stay warm and welcome to the north!

really like the background for your second into (Vette). Thank you for keeping in the little mishaps you have along the road. Reminds us that even the really good woodworkers out there make mistakes.

What a great design. And Looks dope. I’m going to build one just like it, seems the perfect solution for me. I was also looking for casters like that!

Love your creativity very thought provoking and great presentation as always , keep up the great work, wont be long and your shop apprentice will be running things

Just added a router lift to the ext wing of my table saw. I've been waiting to come up with a good enclosure. Think I just found a GREAT ONE!!! Magnets are the magic to key to everything. Thanks!

Perfect timing, got my top attached last night! I also had fun with the flush trimming, except mine was on top, and I clipped a chunk off a corner and can’t find it! That was after I installed the stretchers on the wrong sides ha. Overall the build is going good, I took a lot of time making sure everything was as flat as possible before installing the top as well. Regarding the brad nailer issue, the only suggestion I have is making sure you have a fresh battery in it.

the Travis realization was priceless, great content!

Brad nailer solution: buy the Gen2 Milwaukee. Haha nice build man!

Even though these cordless nailers try to present low maintenance, I still have to clean and lube the firing mechanism area where you would normally disassemble to clear a jam on my makita cordless. Also solves the problem of the firing pin not retracting all the way back up letting a new nail slide forward.

Suggested dust collection improvements for the router... make the box bigger and drill holes in the top.i did this with mine, virtually no dust !

Thanks for leaving the mistakes in, it helps us mere mortals remember there is no such thing as perfect woodworkers. Also I was happy to see the snow outside your garage window, I know I am not the only one suffering with cold and snow here in Indiana -- fortunately I have a heated building :)

And, you need to have enough air for the router to cool itself. Routers have a fan built in the top, which blows air down through the body. Having the added benefit of blowing the dust and chips out ot the way so you can see the bit. Block off the air flow, and you burn up the motor. (Learned Lesson: Don’t ask). Also you have to realize that the router when mounted upside down in an enclosed cabinet, will suck up dust, and you need to take it out periodically and run it outside of the table while shooting air into the inlets on the top to help get the dust out of the body.

Man I like that table. I am going to be buying your plans. I am just building my dream wood shop. It only took me 50 years but this is the nicest table I’ve seen yet and I’ll post it on my KZread as a video when I am done as well.

Great video. I started building, this last weekend. I told myself while watching the videos that building the base would only take one day. NOPE... with gluing and trimming finished I will finally get to start putting the pieces together after work today (hopefully) but I did already glue up the top in the meantime. I will finally have a solid surface besides the floor to work off of.

I had that same issue with my Ridgid Brad and 15-Ga Finish Nailer. Sent in for repair more often than I can count....I fixed it by replacing them with Milwaukee ;)

Had that issue with a ridgid finish nailer. Just got it back from repair. Not a huge deal for me because I have plenty of pneumatic nailers

Great vid man, try cleaning the tip of the nailing gun by opening up the tip as if it had a jam. Then use a little DW40 to allow it to slide better. I notice that mine will actually stop shooting the nail altogether when it builds up grit. I thought it was broken but after cleaning the area of the tip that the firing pin slides over with a clean rag and spraying a little DW40 it worked like new. It’s not meant to have grease so i wouldn’t try that. Also, shoot a few nails into scrap first to clear out the DW40 or it will get your work piece dirty.

i must say... nice execution and improvisation when bearing broke - need is mother of innovation :)

Building my first drawer slides tonight with push to open sliders. I’m really glad I heard the tip to put them on before Assembly

I would love to see you build a table like this, but with a miter saw on the same table. Great video.

As always quality video Travis! Can't wait for #3, pretty sure I'm building this when my shop(garage) is no longer less than 20 degrees F!

YES! Air FLOW, not vacuum, is what makes dust collection better. Good on you for getting that way early in the process.

Nice Build man!! Looking forward to seeing things come together. This is becoming the bench I’ll need in my new shop in Florida

Liking this build. Appreciate the quality of the video and all the shop tips!

thank you for including your screw ups. they do make me laugh, but also remember that even the big youtubers make dummy mistakes like me :)

completely agree about including mistakes. Makes me not feel so bad about what I went through making my workbench.

I’m happy to see that someone with a higher skill set then me makes mistakes as well. Lol But I also feel like I can make it myself. Thank You!

I know this build was a couple of years ago. But I have to just come on here and say that I love the humble and humorous look at some of the mistakes you made along the way. Particularly needing to hand saw the edge banding. None of us are perfect and it’s good to see people make light of it. 😊😂

You probably need to replace the flux capacitor in your brad nailer, it worked for me. the segment with your little helper is adorable, the dog almost got a bite!

This is pretty awesome. Can't wait to see the rest of the series!

Superb build, can't wait to see the next vid.

I’m enjoying this build. Thank you.

Noticed your drawer screwup immediately, because I have done that once or twice myself!

I have the same Brad nailer with the same issue. I called Ridgid and found out there was a recall on the piston. They sent me out the parts to fix it for free. Hope that helps!

Just found your channel a few weeks ago...great videos!!! Provides some great inspiration for me!

The size is perfect 48"x72". I built mine the same last year, I used 1"MDF for the top and walnut trim on the sides, it's your shop and your in it a lot, so why shouldn't it look nice? I've been working with wood since 1966. It's always fun to be working in the shop. I'll send a picture of mine, you'll see what I did, and those feet you used are like mine and they do work great. Awesome job. Keep it up

Love it , I’m pleased you leave n the mistakes, they are the best form of learning 👍

I had that brad nailer issue. I found that my other battery worked better. My bad battery was saying it was fully charged but wasn't charged all the way. The snapon man showed me a trick to jump start it and have it charge properly.

Nice build, thanks for answering the questions on the casters and how everything was put together. I wonder if air powered nailers have the same issue or not? Let everyone know what you learn on the nailer.

I've gone through 3 of those rigid airless nail guns. Same issue every time. Works great and then doesn't drive the nail all the way.... I've asked you if you've encountered this before when I saw you had it. I just went back to the air nailers I had. Little extra work but drives it all the way home every time

Does everything that a good workbench should. Fold and unfolds with ease! Clamps are sturdy and easy to use. ++++!

You know how when you find an awesome TV series with some episodes released but not all of them yet? Watching these first 2 videos without the third is like that! Haha Can't wait for Video 3! Great videos.

Glad you like the Kreg track saw. Would love to see a full review video of it some day. Keep seeing it teased in videos. For brad nailer I’d make sure you’re using the biggest battery you have for it. I know some tools work better with higher Ah batteries.

Beautiful plans. Good job.

I have a similar issue with my ryobi, and believe it to be temperature related. I put mine inside over an air vent to stay warm before use. This seem to fix the problem temperarily.

This is really coming along very nicely.

My electric brad nailer did the same thing - if you set it too high, it seems to actually reduce the power, so back it off slightly and it works out better. Not sure why mine does that, but that worked.

Great work bud, really appreciate your channel.

A few tips and comments: 1) it is much easier to route the edge by flipping the top instead of working uspide down. However, I assume that it is extremely heavy and you were alone. 2) For low quality router bit with bearing, you need to tight them every time you use them. I'm glad you didn't injure yourself with them tho. 3) Extremely nice work table!! I love it :D

My OCD kicked in at 9:59...you can see driving the screw forced the two top pieces apart. Nice build though! I really enjoy your channel!

Thank you for sharing all your mistakes. So many KZread videos are perfect projects, and your average-joe (like myself) rarely ever does anything perfectly. I've had the same problem with the magnets, so I feel your pain. Keep making awesome vids. I love when a new one of yours shows up in my subscription list!

Little man is getting big!! Bench looks great!

I have the same brad nailer and it did the same thing. Planning on taking it to a repair shop.

Router lift install, very helpful. I felt your pain with the magnets. Good work. 🇦🇺👴🏻

The build is looking great mate. Nice work.

I do not have a battery operated brad nailer, but I've had this happen with my pneumatic guns after I made the mistake of using 18ga brad nails with my 16ga nailer. The nails would not go in all the way and the gun would jam. Good luck! Great build so far.

Great channel Travis!👍👍👍👍

I've seen tons of videos that talk about confirming square by measuring the diagonals. This may be the first one where corrective action was taken to make them equal. I wouldn't have thought of using a clamp across the long dimension like that.

I am always in "the Zone" but I live in Colorado and recreational pot is legal so most of us are easily transported into "the Zone". Love your channel, one day I will have a workshop too. I appreciate watching you build yours.

Really coming along nicely man. Appreciate you sharing the mistakes!

Really cool bench. Thanks

Currently awaiting my Plywood delivery. Frames done ✔ Next step is side & bottom panels, I think it is step 8. Knew to woodworking so not rushing. Looking forward to part 3. Regards

Kudos for showing the mistakes. We all have them. I know I have some on every project. Did an internet search for the nailer not sinking the nails and there definitely seems to be some issues on that nailer model but no real solution that I could find. Rigid forum had a thread on it. The HD website had some inquiries also but the only answer provided multiple times was to call customer support. 😩

Another Awesome Project!!!

Travis, thanks for talking about the stringers to which you mount the casters. I had that same question. I was planning on modifying the design to double-up that stringer and set into a blind mortise in the post. I’ll adjust the dimensions on the plan set that I bought from your Etsy store.

Nice workbench! I may have to get a set of plans myself. I think you're going to find that the router box air flow needs to be adjustable (assuming you are going to have fence dust collection up top). As you change bit size and thus fence clearance , you have to be able to compensate with the air flow below. As someone already said, the router has to have ample air to keep cool, esp. when routing big jobs with extended routing time.

it is coming along great.

If the depth. adjustment doesn't work and nails are driven only partially, the air piston gasket/seal might be worn/broken inside your nail gun. I would check and replace that part. That's where your gun looses power to drive the nails.

I agree 100%. This is definitely the issue. I am having the same problem. Just haven’t gotten around to getting the replacement parts. They are free with Ridgid’s Lifetime Warranty.

I use those caster wheels often. They are awesome.

I’ve had two of those cordless Ridgid brad nailers. Bought one, had that same issue of it not sinking the brads. Ridgid sent me a replacement that was supposedly re-engineered to fix that known design flaw in these nail guns. But the re-engineered nailer did the same thing. I gave up on the Ridgid and found a fix, here it is; The Ryobi Airstrike cordless Brad nailer. It works flawlessly and is less expensive than the Ridgid.

I think the cold effects the brad nailer. I live in Canada a my ryobi cordless nailer doesn't work when it's cold either, if I put it by my wood stove in the shop for about 10 minutes it works fine. Maybe store it in your house until you need it. Great build so far .I love the Kreg ACS by the way thanks for costing me $1400 Canadian lol

When I saw you making the router box, I was going to suggest angling towards the dust port. Then you added the slopes. I hope they work for you. I didn’t on mine, and the dust just builds up all around the port (a project modification when I get ambitious).

I like that you own your mistakes and leave them in the video👍👍👍

I've never seen those style of castor wheels before. Very nice

I like the organizers. I might have to incorporate that into my bench.

Great job. Thanks for sharing. Bet that table saw is a Sawstop.

A tip for nailing hardwood that my dad showed me many, many years ago. Cut the head off of a small (4d) finish nail and chuck the nail in your drill. Now drill yourself a pilot hole with the nail and follow up by pounding in a 4d finish nail in the hole you just created. Works well with hammer and nail not sure of an air nailer alternative but hope this helps.

Hey mate, I had the AEG nailer (Australian brand for Rigid) and mine was faulty. 6 year warranty though. Sent it back and was give a brand new one. No issues now.

Awesome. I have the same RecTec 590 Smoker. Love it.

Great smoker!

On the bottom of the nailer in front of the battery slide is a plastic black screw remove it and use a flat head to rotate the motor ..this re adjusts the geared rail that drives the the driver ..these get out of adjustment when you have a nail jam or if you don't let the unit cycle between shots ...if that dosnt work pop the 4 screws off the back of the unit and remove the driver assembly make sure the grease is not built up in any one spot and then re assemble this will stop it from gumming up and creating extra drag on the driver.
