Rabbit hole of YT workbench videos...ABSOLUTELY! I'm currently lost down that very same hole but your video is helping me (so far) crawl back out of that hole. I really appreciate the "list of must haves" and overall realistic approach to your design based on entirely on your honest assessment of what type of woodworking you actually do. Making forward progress out of that hole is much easier when you say to yourself, "Hey, this is what I do" and avoid getting caught up in, "Hey, someday I might want to do this thing."

You’ve done a great job on the bench. Like everyone else is saying, don’t care so much about other’s opinions when it comes to your work. The best thing about that top is that once you’ve decided to replace it in a few years, it’s s not like you’re destroying the entire thing. You’re just replacing that top.

Wow thank you so much Naomi for the kind words. Really encouraging and much appreciated!

This video showed up on my screen and I thought I’d watch as I looking for ideas for a table like this for my Metabo table saw. A couple points for you. 1. This is a great build, but don’t apologize or care if people come down on you for making your shop enjoyable and beautiful to be in. I do the same in my 12’x20’ shed shop. 2. Don’t beat yourself up by being hard on yourself for making mistakes as you would not be a woodworker if you didn’t make mistakes because you sat back, realize what you did wrong and fix it and this is what a good worker does. 3. You asked what I would like in a table like this, and I want to make a sliding extension for cross cuts. And 4. Myself being a 40 year experience cabinet and furniture maker, I honestly like your work and thought process that went into this. I would like to learn sketchup so I can create designs on my laptop, but I am intimidated by learning a design program. Would you sell the sketchup file, so I can look at it and kind of dissect it to learn process. And lastly, I am now a new subscriber to your channel. Can’t wait to see what’s next. Oh, sorry , I forgot to also mention, that I love the fact that you use affordable tools as, while I do have some expensive tools, like the very same Festool extractor and sander, I also have Rey reasonably inexpensive tools like 2 Wen sanders(ordering 12” Wen disc sander soon, and Wen track saw which I would put up against your Makita any day. Sorry for the long post, but I am excited for your continued growth and what’s next

@vanishingcabinets

Thank you Steve for the thoughtful comments here. I do feel that I will grow in confidence as I get more experience, but really validating to hear positive feedback from an experienced woodworker like yourself. Man I would love to have a sliding extension, seems like a tough component though to actually build. As far as sketchup, honestly, I have also found that quite intimidating and yes it has taken some time to put together some basic designs. I'm using the free version so unfortunately I can't export anything at the moment, but I plan on putting more time into this as well to keep me organized in my builds in the future, and also keep the plans in case anybody is interesting in seeing the specs. Exactly as you notice, as far as tools I have a pretty big range of low, mid, and high end as I really tried to research where to spend more and where to get something more reasonably priced based on the types of projects I plan on using them for. Thanks again!

I'd be willing to try that top. I would still have used 3/4" plywood and then the flooring. I absolutely hate mdf. I also would have put the black handles of the drawers on the maple for the contrast. Other than that, I find this to be a great build. Great job...

Holy crap, Batman. I applaud your use of flooring; however, methinks your construction is way too complex. It works, though, and I salute you for that. You have very specific needs, Just between you and me and the fencepost, this is akin to building a house from top to bottom rather than from bottom to top. It can be done, but it's a lot slower and requires too much extra effort.

It’s a 3 car garage but the bay is split so this will sit in a two car space. Still plenty of floor space to move around when in the center.

You’ve built a very nice functional low cost bench. How are you not getting snipe on drawer fronts? I’m diggin’ the removable wheels, dust collection and the huge outfeed/assembly area not to mention the art work. Keep coloring outside the lines, best ideas are out there. Well done IMO. Only thing I cringed at was the cheap blast gate. Consider replacing it with a high quality metal gate that seals better.
