The whole design of the downdraft section of your table is so elegant! And I love the idea of building something simple initially to figure out what you really need and upgrading as you go. So smart!

Nail gun tip: Turn your nail gun 90 degrees before depressing the trigger. If a nail EVER hits anything in the wood, the nail will deflect curving outwards toward the front of the gun and protruding through the piece of wood beneath. By turning the nail gun 90 degrees, the nail will remain inside the wood beneath regardless if it deflects or not.

This video, along with the previous one about this workbench, were for sure the workbench construction videos I liked the most. And I think I've seen dozens before. Awesome flexibility and it conveys very well the idea of seeing the workbench as... a work in progress.

I am deeply allergic to advertisement. Principally because it is totally invading our lives today, by telephone, by mail, and email (I stoped watching TV and listening to the radio because of ads, and intellectually insultant content). That said, the way you promote your sponsors is THE way to do. You are authentic, you doesn't insult our intelligence. I hope your sponsors know the value of what you provide to them. And as I don't comment enough, let me also congratulate you for the quality of your contents. It is imaginative sprinkled with humour, and always rock'n'roll \m/ Thank you, April.

I would like to suggest 3 inch deep drawers all around just beneath the top. It is really handy to put the tools I use all the time in shallow drawers (so I can't bury tools in a deep drawer). When I need to use the table for a large piece of plywood, I can quickly drop all the hand tools into the drawers so the top is clear instantly. Because the drawers are shallow, it is easy to find a tool since it is only one layer deep.

I can't believe it's been a year since you built that table. These were really nice additions to the existing table, especially the sliding cubbies. There is another option for dust sweep, though. You could have added some hose to the underside of the bench top, and added a small grated 'drain' at either the four corners or the middle of each side (pool-table style). If you used smaller hoses than the full shop vac size, the vacuum would be powerful enough to pull in dust from any side of the table, especially if you add gates to the drains and the downdraft table so you'd only open whichever inlet you wanted at any given time. With a little creative wiring you'd be able to add a switch to either end of the table to turn the vac on. Sort of a mini dust collection system, just like the big one you have for your stationary tools.

Hi April. I purchased the plans from you a while back and I built this bench. I love it. I've even incorporated my table saw into it. both bottom and top shelf were starting to sag a little but this new video you put out in June is the perfect fix for it. Thanks so much for sharing that. I will add the supports to mine too. Grazie mille :-)))

Being a man has no off season, real men have beards year round. It protects the underlying skin from UV damage. Shaving causes microscopic cuts in the skin leaving an open door for bacteria to enter the body and cause sickness. I've had a full beard for the last 4 years now and I love it. I also like the work bench upgrades April. Keep up the good work.

Another great video. You have the best work bench of all the ones I have seen on you tube, and it uses the most Efficient use of space and tools imaginable. I just moved into our new house and garage, and am looking very forward to tinkering and trying to build that bench. I just need to find the beginning instructions to start, then I can work on pimping it out more later and once settled.

@petermenningen338
@petermenningen338 5 лет назад
The downdraft table is a great Idea (we think alike) I just created an almost 4 x 8 outfeed table for our SawStop saw for our makerspace Mauimakers.com it is on casters and can be moved and is hooked up to our shop dust collection. I used foam for the suction direction angles and used 7/8 holes so we can use welding style F clamps for hold downs. If you share your 1500 sq ft shop with 20 makers maximum flexibility is a must. BTW it has reduced airborn red rain (local hardwood dust) by over 75% since it was put in service. The actual table is a tension box 5" thick

Nice additions April. You might want to put stop blocks on the pull-out shelves to prevent you from pulling them out too far. In addition, you can make them flip out of the way so if you want them to pull out all the way you could. Just an idea.

Hi April, a lot of good improvements on your bench, just one observation though, when you put the air grids in you need somewhere to keep the cover so it doesn't get lost or cut up thinking it is part of what you are working on. Apologies if you have already thought of that but I did not see it in your video.
