Hi, my name's Fed and I'm teaching myself how to make things by watching tons and tons of RU-vid videos, and making lots of mistakes along the way.
I'm learning about woodworking, electronics, 3D printing, cosplay, prop making, 3D design, welding, repairing stuff, mold making, diy, resin casting and lots more.
Join me on project videos where I put some of what I'm learning into practice, or on review videos where I summary what I can about a particular topic like wood routers or soldering.
Nice honest video and really well done. A couple of observations: Why on earth would you place the kerf cuts facing the exposed surface of your workpiece? Not sure if this was mistake or you don't understand the purpose of kerf cutting a piece of furniture grade ply. Also, filling gaps with sawdust and glue is not a good practice as it can never be stained and will not take paint well. AND French cleats... will work, but you simply need to use a lock block either above the top cleat or between the two cleats.
Good work, and thanks for sharing! But why did you put all your pocket holes on the outer facing surfaces? The point of pocket holes is to hide your joinery. Also, I think pocket hole joints need glue for projects like this.
In part because I was inexperienced with pocket holes, but also because I thought that some of the pocket holes would be impossible (or very difficult) to access. For example, inner corners.
I just saw this video while researching my plans to make a table saw table. Loved it. Did the exact same thing to my pocket hole jig this weekend 🤦♂️. I subscribed!
LOVED this video! the fact that you embraced your mistakes and help the new-to-woodworking folks out here to not make the same mistakes, is awesome!! I watched this video from beginning to end, every second was informative!! Thank you!!
Best reason ever to get a band saw!!! I'm looking at this one, or the one Harbor Freight sells . . . for wood projects . . . although when my dog gets too old to eat her treats, I will have this tool for her.
Well, advice long after the video. Lower the blade on table saw turn it over and lay the table saw top onto the plywood and trace it out or at least mark the extents.
Super helpful video, can really relate as i get into this craft! Curious what your background/main career is, first thought was engineer or computer science with some subtleties of how you approach things
you could have put a tight fitting piece of plywood in between the upper wall mounted french cleat and the lower, hinge mounted one, thus locking it in place. these locks often don't get mentioned or are not necessary for e.g. a small shelf holding a bunch of screwdrivers
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...
btw - careful with straight/flush bits with a trim router, I lost control once and my Dewalt 20v flew out of my hand, over my head, and on the floor. 2 hand base is on my list.
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.
You're right, and I no longer make cross cuts like that. I have a cross-cut sled and a miter gauge. Like with the router kick-back scare, I'm learning from those experiences and from comments like yours. I should do a video about lessons learned.
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!
Thanks for the inquiry @paulhanks4832. You're the first person to ask about commission work. I've never considered it. 🤷🏻♂️ Send me an email (added it to my channel info) and we can chat.
Everyone starts somewhere. I think you did great. You'll learn more from mistakes than being told. Just gotta get there without loosing any fingers or your life. I have to say you extension arm was a great idea and your solution for keeping it from pulling out was simple and solid.. Only thing I would suggest is that you put both mounting bolts in from the top. Obviously not a big deal here. But reason being if the bolt should fail, it won't' fall out. Well done sir.
im making one of these. its 2.4m long and 1.4m wide. and 90cm tall. ive made the top and bottom today. i too always make silly mistakes and cant always seem to remember it when it comes to facing the same challenege again on other projects. im just too enthusiastic. ile look forward to any silly mistakes ile make.
This was really funny, but you probably know more about woodworking than I do. Watching your mistakes, I think I will practice routering before I ruin my first projects
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.
Excellent presentation and the information provides is very informatuve With an occasional light-hearted moment. Thank you for that Noticed also that the --- MY TOOLS --- is in Alphabetical order. (only thing incorrect with it is that all CORPORATE {legal} NAMES are always in the ALL CAPS iteration ) 99.7% of people FAIL to notice this fact - for the reason that they were "" deliberately "" 'programmed' to be ZOMBIES ZOMBIES have eyes but cannot see - ears and cannot hear CORPORATIONS (are CORPUS {Latin} meaning DEAD / BODY / CORPSE CORPORATIONS are DEAD entities that have been given legal status - and like all the CORPSES/BODIED in the cemetery - the NAME is written i all CAPS That means it is AIR FORCE -not- Air Force (which is what comes out of a hair dryer) NAVY -----------not- Navy (which is the name ascribed to a color ARMY ----------not- Army (A large number of people united for some specific purpose other than MILITARY SONY -----------not- Sony TESLA -------- -not- Tesla (The name of an Electrical Engineer from Yugoslavia BOSCH ------- -not- Bosch (A Dutch painter (1450-1516)) INTEL --------- -not- Intel PHILIPS -------not- Philips TOYOTA -------not- Toyota One needs to study Law and History for many years to understand and know these things The dumbing down of the population agenda since 1970 means that many things are no longer taught in CORPORATE GOVERNMENT indoctrination centres known as School Anyway - I gave you a 👍

Success is in the doing Keep that in mind when you are next constipated 'Trying' will only bring you pain and nothing else Trying is one of those useless filler words - STOP using it
I have to say, your learning and willingness to laugh at yourself is refreshing. I have been wood working for over 35 years and it is great to see people stepping out and learning trying experimenting. Well done keep it up
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!
