I never new you could build a solid workbench out of Ply, including legs! I always use 2x3 for legs. Thanks for the tip.

Yup back for a third time! I wanted to build my bench 4 months ago, but lumber prices have not gone down yet. Your bench has at least $1000.00 worth of lumber into it at today's prices, LOL. But as I mentioned the last time, you are an inspiration to me, and I am about to build a large circular saw cross-cut jig with Pine boards I had leftover from a closet build I did recently. Thank you for being my inspiration!!.

Love the workbench! Thanks for sharing the video and pointing out the lessons learned. Very informative.

Great table. and yours is the first one I've seen where the grip for undoing the riving knife is easily reachable. Something I'll keep in mind when I start building my table.

Hola! 🖐This is the very first video of yours that I get to watch. This is a very impressive build but I wondered the same as many questioned in the comments below, "why the ply and OSB"? I completely understand by reading your responses. I'm a few short weeks away from building my very own (first edition) work bench and there are definitely some good tips here with your method of building. I think that the leveling feet you made is genius, I'll have to steal that from you, I mean borrow.😂 I'm moving over to watch your shop build video and see what I can learn from it. I currently have a completely emptied two car garage that will, over the course of time, become my workshop. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👍

I would have mounted the casters two to a 3' board that pivots at the center point of it. Sort of a suspension system for the whole thing, where each two casters self level between themselves to whatever the floor is doing. That way the center casters (lengthwise) are always at 50% of the load, and solidly on the floor.

What a thing of beauty!

what a timing! I want to build a workbench the next days so this fits perfect. Awesome work! :)

No worries! I was tempted to buy a European table saw ($$$) at the beginning of the year, but then I realized that it would be probably much smarter for my needs to simply upgrade my DW745 with a new DW7492, and with the money saved, buy a jointer/planer combo (as I didn't have any). That's exactly what I did, and I don't regret it! With my TS55 plunge saw, I can make super clean cuts if I need to, so with my current set of tools, I'm all set ( at least for now)!

Beautiful work, as always! Q: where does the above-table dust hose go? And the cyclone beneath the table - takes dust and chips from the rear dust port of the table saw?

@HODYODesign

3 жыл бұрын

TY! Actually the top hose goes into the cyclone and is connected to a shop vac that turns on as soon as I turn the table saw on. The rear port of the saw is connected to a 4" pipe that goes to the dust collector (started with a cheap $20 remote control). Great setup, although I don't use the top dust collection that much for now as it is often in the way when you cut materials. I plan to eventually build a floating blade guard to fix this inconvenience.

Great video... May I ask what kind of finish you applied to the top? How many coats, and how well you think it's protecting the surface? Cheers

@HODYODesign

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I use hardwax oil for finishing the top, one single coat. Once the top surface looks tired, I sand it with 120 grit, and I re-apply a new coat. As a result, I have a brand new top twice a year, and it takes me only 15 to 20 minutes each time!

Il fait 30mm d'épaisseur et j'ai simplement décalé la règle de 30mm vers la gauche en perçant un nouveau trou pour ses vis de fixation. Il me reste 800mm de largeur de coupe, largement suffisant pour mes besoins.

@HODYODesign

3 жыл бұрын

Plywood and OSB are very stable materials, plus they are widely available here in Brussels, at a very reasonable price. Unlike lumber.

I was hoping to see some details on the new fence…

Question: why did you build out of (expensive) multi layered ply, then cover it over with osb? I am about to build a table saw base unit and several smaller units that will lock together when needed. I will be using 2x4 wood, glued togdther and laminated, then covering the outer with ply of some sort. Nevertheless, a great project with some great ideas others can follow. 2 weeks build. Wow.. Great work...

@HODYODesign

Жыл бұрын

Ply was not as expensive as it is now back in 2020, and I would never build a workbench out of soft wood anyway, as my goal was to achieve a top as flat as possible. Pine is cheap (or used to be), but it wraps, expands and contracts way too much to do anything good overtime. OSB is just personal preference. It looks great in Europe but it is terrible in the US. Not sure why, but it is what it is...
