It's not often I watch a tutorial type video from beginning to end without skipping but God danggit I didn't want to miss a single second of this

And confirmed that by eyeballing it. I love this guy

It's like I'm watching myself do a woodworking project, but cuss a lot more. Thanks for the video.

😄 Thanks for watching!

I bought a small table saw, I found that the sliding part was not allowing my saw to cut anything I needed. I also figured out that the surface is not big enough, so I started watching videos. Many videos. many. They were all technically over my head and way too ambitious for my small area I have to use. Two of them, took up at least a 1/4 of a garage!!! I just needed some ideas to use to make my saw be functional to do any kind of work at all. Then you showed up in my feed and I have some good ideas to use. Also the fact that you make mistakes makes me feel better as I am classically trained in music not shop class. BTW My first cut to make my little bird house was right down the middle of a board about 5 feet long. Scared as hell, and hoping I set up my moveable guide straight I started.....my neighbor upstairs got an earful, but it turned out useable. Thanks for taking the time to make understanding videos. If all the makers would back up and think about the idiots like me, it would be much better for beginners. Ciao! from Italy...

know you did this two years ago, but just want o say - great sense of humor while making a VERY USEFUL design - thank you!

I love that you show the reality of how many of us learn to woodwork! Great video!

Let me just start by saying I'm pretty damn handy. I've gutted and remodeled every room in two houses. BUT... woodworking and I have a love / hate relationship. I really DIG how REAL you are in your videos! None of this, "INCREDIBLY EASY four poster bed project," done by a guy with a dozen years of wood-working experience and $250K worth of tools, in a 3,500 sqft workshop. Wood fights back... It doesn't "go together" as easy as those guys make it seem to. You're honest and show what ACTUALLY happens. But, most importantly, you persevere, figure it out, and show us how you did it. Great job!

Great video because you explain WHY. Most videos are vanity videos - oh look-I have a saw. Oh look-I can cut wood. Yours explains your thought process, design decisions and how you coped with mistakes. Great job!

We learned through every body’s mistakes,amazing video ,keep them coming

It’s actually really relieving watching fellow woodworkers make plenty of mistakes during their projects. I was over here beating myself up over issues on my first ever project making a jukebox out of birch and thought I was the dumbest or worst wood working alive.

Thanks for an honest video that shows all the steps as well as the mistakes. As another poster mentioned most woodworking videos are made by guys with many years of experience and more/better tools than I'll ever have. These guys also sort of assume you know what they are doing and don't fully explain the procedure. Great video. The humor makes it fun.

First of all: WAY to give credit where credit is due!!! So many "woodworkers" on YT steal other makers ideas and make videos without giving reference to the idea maker. And B: Great video! I had no need to watch what you were making. But your delivery is SO funny and it was so much fun to watch the video that i loved watching the WHOLE thing!! Thanks! You have a new subscriber!

I really enjoyed watching this video, you've done an epic job of telling the story about this build, which for me supersedes the design and build itself. I'll be sure to learn some of the lessons shown, and will definitely be ready to iterate any design flaws I'll inevitably make. Cheers from NZ!

Great video. Love your honesty. Personally I usually make 6-8 visits to the big box store for every project. One idea I had in addition to your folding side extension is a folding infeed extension for when you are using a sled. I am going to be building my own table shortly, and I plan on incorporating that into my plan.

Thanks for your video! I like when woodworkers talk about their mistakes and how they fixed them. Forgive me if you already know this, but when using the router bit it's recommended to remove material 1/8" at a time. That's probably why your router bit fell out the second time. It also makes a cleaner cut. I think I have the same table saw. I hope to make a table just like this.

Just saw your page and this is the first video of yours I watched. Congratulations on your shop and getting into woodworking. Honestly I was cringing watching you cut those wide pieces like that. You should use a circular saw and straight edge to get them to more manageable sizes before running through your table saw. It would be a whole lot safer. Jay Bates has a video about it. And watch Stumpy Nubs KZread video about table saw kickback. Best of luck on your woodworking journey

Sorry, Michael, I don't. I have the free version of Fusion 360 which doesn't allow generating PDFs.

how have you handled the dust collection? not sure how your saw works, but i have a little ryobi and a ton of sawdust just mounds up below the saw. i was also thinking of screwing mine down to the shelf but that would make cleanup a drag. do you just lift your saw and clean it out?

@FedLearnsToMake

Жыл бұрын

The saw has a dust collection port in back, and I run my overhead hose down to the saw. That helps some, but I still have to get back there with the hose and that crevice tool and clean it out. I don't pull the whole saw out, though. Someday, if I can be in a larger workshop, I'd love to have one of those dust collection shrouds over the saw.

Can you tell me the height of the workbench length of the legs thx

@FedLearnsToMake

The total height of the workbench, including the hardboard, plywood top and casters, is around 33 1/8 inches. Re: the legs... there are inner legs and outer legs. The inner legs are around 23 3/8. The outer legs are around 29 3/8.

Performance of DeWalt saw

Any plans for this?

May I make a suggestion; Watch more & BETTER videos on to build a project. You did more work than needed. You did well, but your carelessness with the router could have cost you more than a bad edge. You'll learn, we all had to. Keep going & enjoy yourself.

Do you have the plans for this you can share?

I don't. I have the hobbyist version of Fusion 360 and it doesn't allow for generating plans (used to, but not any more). Besides, the bench, as modeled in Fusion 360, has lots of errors. I didn't go back to the design and update it with the modifications you see in the video.

Please stop crosscutting against your fence. If you need to cut a board on a table saw that’s wider than it is long, move the fence out of the way and use a miter gauge or make a crosscut sled. If you think a router kick-back is scary, wait until you see one on a table saw. It’s like a bomb detonating and throwing the workpiece into your face (if not right through your appendix). An angel was watching over you as you crosscut those two pieces near the end of the video. That angel might be busy doing something else the next time you try that move though.
