Do you think the torsion box was compromised by only using screws on the top rather than glue to all the web surfaces? I didn’t think screws would prevent movement.
I bought this for my friend for his birthday as we just moved into a new house and he finally has room for a workshop. The bench was very easy to set up ru-vid.comUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh They center support is a little difficult to snap in and out of place at first but at least then we know the bench is secure. It was a pleasant surprise when we saw it came with clamps. I apparently missed that in the description. My friend loves the versatility of the bench. Great starter bench for his workshop and easily transportable all over our property. I wish the bench was a little taller but the other features of the bench more than make up for that.
Excellent information and succinctly presented. This is the first of your videos I've seen but notice this was posted almost 6 years ago. I hope you have continued to create videos. I would welcome access to the way your mind works. Thank you.
hi, thanks for this lovely and encourging comment. I have of corse some more material to post but unforetuantely, i have absolutely no time at all to do more than i do actually. As always, i'd like to do more than the planning allows me to.
I often cut and weld. I love paulks bench I was thinking about doing something similar but wondered if I would build it off the side and use some of the holes to clamp down the metal peice so any heat wouldn't be on the wood itself. Still in the planning stages.
Hi, Yep, the fact to add wood in an quite hot environment is quite tricky and could even be dangerous. But in my build the weight was en issue as well. A metal plate of at least 10mm thickness was just to heavy. This is 3mm and really the maximum in weight
@@Felmmingpatpen Thanks for the reply. Another thought The bench with the metal slide out ends could double for cutting and welding with metal instead of wood... Just a thought. That's what I did
Festool CMS. Unfortunately not sold in the US and by now off marked in Europe.. www.ebay.de/itm/FESTOOL-Tischsage-CMS-TS55R-Set-561566-Vom-Fachhandler/133689374081?epid=2255375921&hash=item1f2081f581:g:xAoAAOSwWxxd58xm replaced by TKS80 or CS Precisio
This was amazing! I have been searching for mods done to these plans for the past week as the Paulk WBII plans meet about 80% of my hopes. The leg design was a hold up for me but this completes it. Thanks!
Have an update on this one? I’m in the process of evaluating what I’d like to do for my own version of a Paulk-inspired bench. Would love to see what you’d do differently.
hi, Actually, not very much... i never really used the crosscuts(not accurate enough) what would be great to have is a better alinement of the 2 plates. I'd like mor to use benchdogs and guides for crosscutting but the alinement of the 2 plates needs to be perfect.
@@Felmmingpatpen ... what I’m thinking is a good solution for me is two 4’x4’ tables that way I’ll have the guarantee of square cross cuts. I run most things through my tablesaw for rips, anyway.
if this is "the" argument to rate a build so do so. remeber, it's a video about building staff not how to edit videos. By the way, i wanted to check your videos as good exemple to learn from, but no videos found. How can that be if you are such a critic guy. show the good example first.
@@Felmmingpatpen I'm not the only person to comment about the scream. Just take a bit of constructive criticism on the chin and learn from your mistakes. There are plenty of other makers on RU-vid who have bettered themselves by listening to their viewers and subsequently achieved a lot of success. You my friend will go nowhere with your current attitude.
The video is not about editing video's but woodworking.. i'm not Steven Spielberg and the audiofile was correct @ the upload... By the way, wanted to check your video's with the intension to learn something from you but could not find some?? I always use to say: never expext more from others than you can provide yourself.
it is actually with 97-99 cm wich is a fiew cm too high. Didn't find the time to cut down the legs of the stands who are actually in the lowest position.
Maniwasaki hi, thanks for asking but as you mentionned, i‘m actually very busy on my professionnal site and my private life is quite tricky as well actally. But who knows, maybe..
Very interesting project. Most of the audio is better than your earlier Paulk project assembly video, but this one did have a little fade-in problem at the end.
Great video. Subscribed. Can I ask what/how the fine adjustment bolts work? Are they to adjust the fence side to side? ie. fine adjust the tape markings? or are they to adjust square to the rail?
hi, I noticed that adding the fine adjustment is not too relvant. the guide is too long compaired to the Festool MFT and the gap in the Festool fixations is too large to du unveryfied cuts. this brought me to always verify my settings with a square before clamping it down. the Festool Mft is 77cm large. my bench is 120. only one mm gap on each side provides a very large differance.
Seems you are better at building things than you are at editing videos. BIG thumbs down for that unnecessary scream that hurt my ears when I was wearing headphones.
Awesome ideas and I love the changes you’ve made to Ron P’s original workbench idea, for the Festool router table and cms. Exactly what I wanted to incorporate both of them too, but I will put the whole bench as 1 not as 2 halves and add a frame with a lower shelf and have it all on wheels. Great work, thanks for the inspiration.
your welcome.. it was my case as well as i saw ron's videos. please share some pics of your build... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-20jL4R1u-ZI.html the Video of the whole build.
Hi Patrick, I’ve decided to make it with the 2 part tops as you have done but all on a wheeled frame. I’ve made the cms router insert hole today, tricky trying to get the rebate lip and rounded edge as per the cms table. Next is try to add the cms table saw and sliding table. I’ve watched your video on your workbench build, do you have a video with more detail on fitting the cms table?. I see you made a box for it to sit in then that’s supported by the tubes. I may have to do the same unless I can fit the pipes into or through the cms base itself which would be preferable. One question on the cross cut jig, why place it over the insert plate. Surely it would have potential to be cut into?
Hi.. happy to hear about your plans... sent me an email to patpen@pt.lu and i'll sent you over some more pics of my build i hope you do so as well so i con may be give you some tips.. For the router, i didn't make a lip... was just cutting out the whole thing... more pics of that as well if you want..
I thought the whole video was fantastic. Great ideas, terrific perspective from Europe. I plan to incorporate some of Patrick's ideas. The scream was too funny...my husband came running downstairs, "what happened." I told him I was watching Patrick's video again! Fun!
Gary Karczewski they provide a clamp surface anywhere on the bench you need but only work with festool some clamps (pricey). There are videos on how to make cheaper imitations.
The ability to hang the feet on the bench itself, and then hand the bench from the ceiling is a great idea! Sometimes you have to use your garage for your car. :)
