Love your US ARMY FLAG. I AM A RETIRED PARATROOPER

Nice Shop. I’m just getting my shop set up. I’ve got a full cabinet Hitachi table saw, Boch 12 in Miter saw, a Delta 6 inch joiner, and table top drill press, Dewalt 13 in planer, Hitachi Scroll saw and Band Saw, plus a craftsman hand planer, Dewalt and Boch orbital sanders. Plus an assortment of hand saws and chisels. Now I need to get power to My shop.

I've had the chance to use this table a couple of times now. It's fun to whip out in front of people:) I can see what people are talking about when they say the legs are delicate, but they're design to support a "mostly" vertical load, not be torqued from the side or pushed back into place. If you just let the table open or close on it's own and don't force anything, it works great kzread.infoUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh Once it's set up, it's pretty solid. My only gripe would probably be related to the clamps provided. They're not the highest quality. They do the job, so no big deal, but they could be better. All in all, pretty cool gadget.

I am amazed by your cleanliness and order in your woodshop and I wish I could afford all those great tools and the great wood you are using for this build. Ten thumbs up! I have spent quite a bit of time by a tablesaw in my previous job and I have seen and experienced some scary moments with this helpful tool. I am not trying to be a besserwisser here but one of the main things about using a table saw over time is to establish good safety habits. The prime one in my book is where you place yourself when using the saw, and especially so when ripping. At 1:35 ish into your video all the safety bells in my head was chiming... I am sure this is not how you usually place yourself when ripping boards but if it is PLEASE change your stand so that you are not exactly behind the sawblade. Take my word for it - even with a riving knife attached it is not IF a kick will happen it is WHEN a kick will happen. I hop I will some day be able to make a bench as beautiful and sturdy as this one. Happy woodworking!

Love the clean shop and the craftsmanship!!

I use draw boarding all the time when using dowels

As a Canadian I find that I am sort of in the middle of the metric/imperial systems. I am completely comfortable using either. That being said, with woodworking I eventually switched completely to metric and my accuracy has increased greatly because of it.

I learned the upside of the metric system when I lived in Germany years ago. It can definitely make things easier and more accurate

In the UK we still use both, but it’s roughly marked by a generation split between baby boomers and gen x. When working on jobs with my dad I switch to imperial. His bench is imperial, mine is metric.

I thought I was the only one who used my pencil sharpener for that.. made my day

Appreciate your honesty. I enjoy wood working but one downfall is I have a slight case of dyslexia. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve written 45” instead of 54” or cut the dove instead of the waste EVEN though the waste has been marked. But we move forward!

Our shop once built a large 42” wide chest for an installation 3000 miles away. It wasn’t supposed to be 3’ 6” wide... sigh. We laughed about it years later, and still do decades later. But it cost us plenty. Let’s say what it taught us, was how to be very clear when calling out dimensions on paper.

Out of curiosity, are you in some sort of event production in your day job? I notice your router is using true1 connections.

What I do when there are multiple possibilities for layout I use chalk to layout, in other words put the legs in there position and mark location of joints and hardware so it elements confusion when dedicating the execution. I know it sounds simple but when you have distractions it’s easy to be confused.

Awesome video - as usual. I might have missed it, but what are you building this out of? Base looks like it weighs a ton

Why did you decide to move away from the "traditional" double tenon-dovetailed leg joint?

@EastOakWoodworking

3 жыл бұрын

I think that joint looks great, but it really isn’t necessary. The through wedged tenon will more than hold the top in place, so for me it was a matter of not complicating things more than I needed to.

@@EastOakWoodworking That's what I was thinking. The idea of transferring the dovetail layout to the other side of the benchtop sounds awfully finicky.

Not a Roubo workbench but nice job

What are the leg and stretcher dimensions for your workbench build? Nice job by the way and great video too!

@EastOakWoodworking

Legs are 5 1/2” x 5 1/2” x 29 3/4” at the shoulder (plus the thickness of the top for the tenon) Stretchers are 1 3/4” x 4” x 18” for the short stretchers and 40” for the long ones

Are you using a brad point bit to drill the dog holes in the leg and top?

No, that’s an auger bit made for drilling dog holes. The “Brad point” is threaded to pull the bit through the wood.

It really depends on the lumber. The vise hardware is around $500 depending on what brand you choose. The lumber for mine was around $900, even the same wood in different regions can have huge variations in price. I also built mine pre-pandemic.

Firstly, thank you for your service… Is that oak or ?
