I understand that this is a modular design where I could potentially pick/choose how I want the workbench to be designed (as far as I know). Is there the option/capability to have a miter saw built into the bench as well?

One argument for putting extra effort (like painting/finishing) into shop furniture is it's a great learning experience - you can improve your technique, learn new stuff, and when you need to make something that *matters* you're just that much better at it.

@@ShopNation you're a complete moron if you can't realize how paying a couple extra hundred dollars for the saw stop up front is way better than losing your fingers and paying tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills. you must not actually talk to people in the field. go talk to some of the guys who've lost their fingers to table saw accidents, and they'll gladly tell you they would have rather forked over a extra thousand dollars on a table saw and have their hands function normally.

So true

Nice workbench! Just a tip regarding the router blowout and struggles with your cut. Your first pass (going right to left against the fence) was going the opposite direction you wnat to go. This is called a climb cut and meant you were fighting the direction the router bit was spinning. The second cut was going left to right against the fence and you probably noticed that was a lot easier. This follows the direction the router bit spins and makes the cut much easier.

Nice table. Like the color. Suggest making multiple shallow passes with the router instead of hogging-out in one pass.

The frustrated ‘mask into the dust collector toss’ is an instant classic.

My grandfather used to say that it's not that you make a mistake, it's how you recover from those mistakes that makes the difference. Great job! Going to be building something similar but smaller for my shop. The mask going into the dust collector had me rolling. 👍

The mask in the collector made me laugh so hard my wife came to see the joke and gave me that look (you guys know what look) because I was watching another woodworking video.

I know "The Look" all too well. Plus the accompanying phrase, "If you keep watching wood working videos for new projects, you'll never finish the other projects"... sometimes she's right...

Thank you SOOO much for making this video and leaving in all your.... lessons.

"I don't want to talk about it." I laughed so loud at the mask in the dust collector! Love your style, awesome video as always!

The new workbench looks absolutely fabulous. Also, I really appreciate you leaving the mistakes and safety issues in the footage. It helps the rest of us feel like our failures are just part of the process and we can all strive to do better.

I respect that you show your mistakes and errors 👊 So many people on KZread want to be perfect, but you just admit your mistakes and that’s truly humbling. When your mask got sucked into your dust collector! 😂 I’ve lost screws and instructions the same way haha. Thanks for great content!

This is about how most days in the shop go for me. Deep breathes and keep going.

I love that you’re not afraid to show the mistakes. Sometimes I feel like I make more mistakes than not and it feels good to know I’m not alone. Great channel!

Thanks for adding the bloopers. Most would have deleted that out to show they are perfect. But no one is. Thanks for all the great videos.

What a fantastic video!

My thoughts from making this awesome table: - The plans are complete and easy to follow - I learned a lot about woodworking, and my crappy tools need upgrading - I wish I did not buy my plywood from Lowes but went for Baltic Birch - The blast gates do not fully close after the first use. Not sure what the issue was but I need to find another solution - This is my first table router and I cannot find any info on what type of router to use. For example, can I just take apart my Craftsman router? The internet was not helpful in this area. - Routing the channels for the t-track was a disaster. Seriously. Almost started over. - My woodworking hobby is draining my bank account.

What router plate did you buy? did you buy the Kreg one from the video? if you tell me what model you bought i can tell you if your router will fit

Paint away! The color you use really sets it off. Looks great.

I watched this series and made a workbench of my own using some things from your plans. I even had a cutout for my tablesaw. Unfortunately, a week after I finished it, our house burned down and all my tools are gone. Time to rebuild and make better.

Travis the best mistakes are the ones unplanned and captured by camera 📷!!! Had you planned to screw up you would never have been able to do it so naturally.!!! When you hit the nail and the mask shot up the dust extraction pipe i would have put my tools down turned out the lights and gone indoors as I would have carried on screwing up for the rest of the day making me lose my head and make way more cockups, different day less cockups!!! The build looks great by the way and the shop is all tieing together now!!! As always buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.

What a great lesson. Thank you so much. And your right it is frikin awsome

So awesome. I just wish materials weren't so expensive right now!

I do appreciate you leaving the mistakes in the video. I personally try and use them as learning opportunities when planning out work. Love the content, thank you.

I'm so glad to see the mistakes included. No editing out the reality of woodworking. Also, double clamping . . . Yes! Can't tell you how many times I've had a guide fence or guide board move during a cut or route.

So I have built many cabinets and been a woodworker for many years, but that drawer mounting technique is solid gold. Never seen it anywhere else. Subscribed!

wow, the paint made a huge difference.

This is awesome!!!!👍

Not going to lie, you had me rolling when your mask got sucked up into the DC!! I'm glad you got everything worked out and that bench looks slick, man! Awesome job.

Very Nice, appreciate that I'm not the only one who screws up from time to time or even regularly. Keep on with Shop Greatness

My dad used to say"if you didn't make a mistake you weren't doing anything ". Great job Travis.

Mistakes are one thing , not thinking things through , being in a hurry and fumbling around are another. we all have bad days, but a bad day in a carpenter shop may have serious consequences, if one of my staff is having a bad day I give him some grunt work with no power tools. TMW is another day with all your fingers and nothing stuck in your eye.

I’ve been watching all of your videos up to this point and I have to say they’re both entertaining and useful. I do really appreciate you taking the time for finishing details. It goes a long way and probably explains why you’ve done well here on KZread.

Great video. Especially the "that's a good sound right" and the following mask sucking up! I have never laughed so much at any you tube video. 😂

One note on painting cabinets and making the shop the way yours does is professionalism. If someone is a pro woodworker and customers come by the shop and they see a dungeon with cabinets that look thrown together they may think twice about doing business with the owner. If the shop looks great the the cabinets look professional that speaks to the quality of the woodworker in the shop.

Great job. Laughed out loud when the dust collector sucked up the mask!

So. Damn. Nice. I just built a (loosely-based) version of this, and didn't put a router in it, because I have a router in my miter saw workbench, but the potential to rout large pieces, move them all around, etc., by having it built into the workbench is tempting. Have to see if I can retro-fit it....

I recently got the ISO tunes free. So far I love them. They don't get that loud but that's a good thing. They block all the outside noise so well it doesn't need to be.

My 8 year old daughter and I have been following your build! She loves watching the construction and we've been waiting for part 4!! Thank you!!!

Finally see a cover on the Corvette. :)

Your organizational and procedural skills are way up there, Great Job.... Thanks for the bloopers, makes it all real and we know "Yah we've done that".. Never wood I have "Painted" that wood... but put coats of varnish and/or stain on them...Very Nice.

Travis, I always smile when I see your new videos pop up on my computer because they are always filled with very educational information. Even when you know the mask flies onto the table and slides close to the dust collection hose, where nit is sucked up because it was turned on, of course. That was a priceless move that can not be duplicated with such finesse or any script that called for you to create it my, friend. As far as the workbench, it turned into another masterpiece. The functionality is top-notch, and you always finish with such Shop Greatness. A superb build, sensei! Felix

Dang. That looks sweet. I gotta build it.

I love the fact that you are essentially a perfectionist but mistakes are seen as an opportunity for growth rather than a setback! And that you're willing to admit you're human. It makes your projects more appealing by showing that anyone can do it.

Do the plans include mask collector attachment feature? Haha! My fav moment in the video. It's like you are channeling me in your videos! Nice work and thanks for sharing the ups and downs of wood working.

The work bench is amazing!!! Great work and love this build series. I will be getting the plans soon so I can build my own.

Was wondering what color the vette was going to be after the painting was done, Props to the wife for getting the cover for it!

Just bought your detailed plans and can't wait to get started! Beautiful work!

Especially love the paint job

nice job on the work bench, I like the honesty you put in your project videos. Would make a suggestion for you though, I notice every time you have to cut out a square hole you drill 4 holes then get the jigsaw to finish it. Although it works well and has for years, and you tend to use Rigid tools, you may want to consider getting the Jobmax. They make it in corded and cordless , and you can get interchangeable heads for it allowing you to use the same tool for more than one purpose. Great job on the work bench!

Thanks for sharing! Love that you show your mistakes. We all do it.

Blowout, mask in the dust collector, then hitting a screw...... this is totally something I would do an appreciate you leaving it in the video. I literally laughed out loud and got that look from my wife. Love the workbench and will be buying your plans and doing this myself over the next few months. Well done Travis!

Real dang nice. You forgot the cup holder though.

This is awesome! I love how you show the mistakes too! It’s kept me from making them! Thank you! The PPE! Yup we are guilty of that one! I’m working on my upper cabinets now and want to build this bench after I finish the lowers! Thanks so much the great content!

Completely agree on your philosophy about painting your shop furniture. I recently built some suspended 2 x 4 & plywood storage shelving in the garage and took a shelf from my existing Seville metal cabinets to Home Depot to have the paint color-matched. Now I need to go back and paint the bike rack and stick-tool storage center I previously built....love the videos - keep it up.

Love your videos. You have a great way of telling a story and educating the viewer as well. Thank you!

Thanks for the videos of your workbench. Found some great ideas to incorporate into my own current build. Also appreciate the mess ups too, shows I am not the only one and the end product can still be great. Like the way you broke everything down, looks awesome. Thanks Travis,

As always really enjoyed the whole series to get to this point, really cool seeing it all completed. 👍

Great job! Also thanks for showing we all screw up sometimes, that’s how we learn.

Looks great. Love to see how your casters work in moving the workbench around.

This is a fantastic project! I think I will include much of this in my upcoming workbench project... when I get time :D Thank you for sharing!

Great video series. Love the color scheme in your shop. The waste board idea with the router blowout was a good addition. Definitely use several shallow passes with the router, though.

I've wanted to build an outfeed table like this for years. Ive been busy with many major remodels on our house and just havent had the time to fix up my small garage woodshop. But now the house is about 95% done FINALLY and I can get to the garage. Luckily I am in sales for a local Home Center/ Lumber Yard. This video series inspired me to finally get my shop put together. After watching this build I bought all of my materials the next day (2022 might not have been a good year lumberwise to be inspired). I plan on using some of the design of this table. Thanks. I appreciate your videos.

Awesome workbench.

What a fantastic build! Thanks for sharing the bloopers, blunders, and an exceptional project.

Awesomenessification!

Big thumbs up for design, build and finish. Awesome!

Young man, you just keep putting better and better videos and I appreciate all the hard work it takes for you to create this. THANK YOU, it's educational, inspirational, and entertaining. The flashback, I remembered that from your previous workbench video, was excellent. Keep up the awesome work, your shop is looking GREAT!

Great build series and video! Your bench (painted) looks fantastic and of course make everything come together. I am considering adding a little color to my drab shop area! Thanks again and boy did I get a laugh on the face mask, great !

Great job Travis. The pains you went through with routing for the T-track and your duct mask reminded me of some stupid things I've done in my shop. Keep up the great work. Shop Greatness at it's Best.

I gotta say, I enjoyed the "real world" build on this. Great job, I can't tell you how many times I had plans and still messed up and had to redo some stuff. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the inspiration Travis. I’m currently building my own version of this, with my Delta T2 table saw being mounted on the front end so it’s all one piece. You may want to route out extensions of your table saw miter slots into your table top so you can use various jigs, like a crosscut sled. But the table looks sah-weet! Great job!

Amazing finish to a great project!

A clean shop is a happy shop!

Amazing video. Great seeing it all from start to finish. You are definitely achieving shop greatness!

Love the MDF and track system. The storage has me wanting to build. Dust collection is a must have and the build in router is over the top epic! I'd just add a long wood vise that utilizes the track for large projects. Hands down one of the coolest shop builds I've seen. Thanks for sharing

It is a delight to know you make mistakes like I have. I'm not alone anymore at blunders. Thank you!

Very useful! Thanks for sharing!

Great job Travis. Thx for sharing your mistakes, we all make them. Hopefully we all learn from each other’s mistakes.

Hey Travis I want to say thank you for doing this because I am one more than loves painting woodworking projects as well. No doubt that there are cool-looking bare wood projects like walnut but painting them today is a super modern way to go. By the way that is one of the main reasons that I decided to follow you. Thanks for sharing this!!

I recently built a router table. That’s the only thing keeping me from building your workbench. Soooo nice. Thanks for sharing.

Great job - I like that you are real and you show when you make a mistake and then show how you corrected it. Enjoy the new workbench and I can't wait to see what your next project will be like. Thanks for the education and entertainment. Keep up the greatness. I appreciate that you want to take care and show pride in your shop. It is hard to focus on creating something great for ourselves at times. Plus I can look at a video and if I see any part of your shop in the picture I know is you from the color of the cabinets!

Looks very good and functional

Excellent results, lots of well-worth-it hard work!!!

Hey Travis, Great work! I've been waiting to see it all come together and you did a fantastic job. I downloaded your plans (they are awesome BTW) and am still on step 2 from your video series. I'll send a pic when I'm all done. As a note, I happen to have a Sawstop and the dimensions are 1" shorter. I planned accordingly and if I were to do it again, I would only take out 1/2" from the height of the table. Also, for those out there who do have a sawstop, you can adjust the organizer pullout drawers so that they have an even gap of 5/8" with the following centerlines: 1.125, 6.75, 12.375 and 18. I happen to be an amateur/novice woodworker and for those out there in the same boat, buy the plans! you will up your game.

Thanks for putting this together, been watching it, and already started my own build in my new shop/garage. Would love to see a video on how you pick out the wood for your projects. Seems no matter what I pickup, no matter how it looks in the store, it has some bends & twists when I go to use it. Warped plywood is terrible for building drawers! The wood you get seems 100 times better.

I have been rolling around, pausing every few seconds after the next oops, laughing, then thinking about when I did the same thing in a build. Thanks for sharing!

Outstanding. Love your videos. I did the same thing, routing through a screw in my workbench. This one had some funny parts, for sure.

I can only dream to have a shop that size with a table like that. Awesome man love your work!!
