Great job! Besides the fantastic workmanship, I really appreciated that there's no load booming music overlaid, and no commentary. The work speaks for itself.
Love that you straight up said: This is how I do it and there are other ways you can. So many of these videos are so definite that their way is the right and only way to do something. Thanks for sharing this.
Just want to start by saying, this is the best video i seen of a work bench. have to agree with Rachel about the no music and no describing step by step with work, love the caption that you put every so often. Love the bench , am going to build this bench and just need to modify to hold a miter for me. Thank you for the video. Much respect.
Been looking at a lot work benches as I want to build one. I like making things and even though k am not good at it, I still do it 😂 This is definitely one of the best ones I have come across!! The best part is the nail polish Oh and love the no talking. Most ppl do more taking than teaching! Thanks Andi
The only adjustment I would say is to never ever wear gloves while using saws. The blade can snag the glove and yank your hand into it before you could blink.
Wow, nice table. Wish I had the room to build one. Have to put my cars in the garage as Texas is well known for its very large hailstones. Limits what I can do. Very nice….
I like the way you made the workbench. It's made simple but very effective and that's what it's all about. No gluing or any bullshit of making it a nice visual table with a nice finish but effective for the job and it's purpose. Thanks.
One of the better benches ive seen in a long time with a tool rack for drills too. Saw one where a person made a swivel table that they mounted a miter saw too that could spin around and lock back to be the rest of the table surface when not using....also thought that was a cool idea
Great job. Those DW table saws have a really nice & dependable rack & pignon system to adjust the fence but it gets in the way when you have the table saw enclosed. For that reason, when I built my workbench/outfeed, I opted to have the whole saw hanging out to one end.
Thanks so much! After exhausting any commercial solutions (workbenches, tables, etc), I built it exactly the way I needed it for what I primarily do: unframed canvas wood frames. Honestly, building things yourself is the easiest way to get what you need!
I'm always pleased to see all the different ideas folks come up with for work benches. Nice functional work bench. Very inspiring! I think it's awesome that you did your whole project in slippers! It was like watching a video made in Hawaii. :)
My wife and I watched this video because we are planning on making one something like this one. Just have to do up the plans before we tackle it. My wife was impressed on how you were dressed for woodworking....lol... First video I have seen as well seeing someone in a skirt and sandals... BRAVE I guess...
Wow, I'm so glad to hear that you've had some inspiration from this video! I hope everyone feels like you do. And thanks for the @dewalttv mention - I'd love to be a brand ambassador for them! They're by far my favorite tools!
Thank you Beverly! One of the nice things about building your own workbench, is that you get to customize it to exactly what fits your needs. That's why I ultimately built it myself, because no one else made anything close to what I wanted. Happy building!
I fill justified. My wife asked me the other day why all my tools seemed to be dewalt. I told Her that my tools are like you, she said what do you mean I said only the best will do. I don't know if she believed me but i did get chocolate hip cookies for 3 days.
great video! It gave me lots of good ideas! You could cut those two little plastic tabs off of that plug by the switch for the vacuum.They aren't needed since you won't be rewinding the cord and it will make it easier to get to that switch. You could snip them off or grind them off.
i love the power tool storage idea. genius. just inspired me to do the same. i would buy a thicknesser and store that underneath and when needing it place it on the workbench. they are heavy but worth it.
Nicely done - it looks great! This is one of the best job-site table saw workbenches i have seen 🙂 You have a really good use of space, and plenty of storage - which are always good things. Congrats on a wonderful build!!
You are so welcome Andi . You always do a great job on your projects . You can tell you have a passion for building things. Thank you for your kind words you made my day girl . 😊
Good luck! I've got another video coming out about an extra support beam below the saw to ensure the saw doesn't bring the top down. Be sure to check that one out.
I am impressed by your ingenuity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail!! Excellent job and it shows! Obviously judging by your hand skills, you have done wood work before! But I am most impressed by the fact that your manicure stayed perfect all the time! LOL 😂
Thank you Enrique! I'm all over the place with projects, and this is one that I really enjoyed. I've definitely built a few things in the past, and done some repairs, and even crafted some new stuff. And I might have lost a nail or two along the way 😂
Very Nice! I am contemplating a new workbench/assembly table. I too am a DeWalt Junkie! ... You have some very neat ideas! One note that I will point out... using a miter gauge and the rip fence (@ 29:44) at the same time is a risky maneuver! I would suggest clamp a "stand-off' on the fence well in front of the blade at the desired length of your crosscut this way when the wood is at the blade, there no issues binding between the blade and rip fence. a crosscut sled would be even better! Again, Nice work!
I'm not even sure I needed the miter gauge at that point anyway 🤦🏼♀️. But I didn't know that until someone else made a comment about that very same thing. Now I know better, so thank you for sharing! I'm glad you're part of the DeWalt family as well, and you should definitely build it! I had a ton of fun building my workbench and it's really neat to be able to customize it the way you like.
really enjoyed ur workbench build. I also enjoyed seeing all those DEWALT TOOLS too.. haha! I'm not an owner of any yet. My workshop is fully of budget tools but they get the job done for me. I'm working out of a 16x10' garage. It's basically one car space as long as the car is small. haha! U built a fine workbench here girl. RESPECT TO YA FOR A GREAT JOB. I like that Pencil Sharpener too btw. I can never sharpen right. The nibs keep breaking on me. I bought some of those refill pencils but they're too weak and keep breaking. I got a nice DrillPro INCRA style marking ruler with Pencil and it's cool but the bloody nibs keep breaking on these pencils too. I'm going to get me one of those Sharpeners u have there.. LOL Keep up the fine work girl. I just found ur channel this morning. I'm addicted to watching woodworking and metal working videos these days..
Nice job. My table will be 5'x32" so I made a test bench with casters also in the middle like you did and didn't like the feel so I made the table smaller (with said dimensions) with 4 heavy casters. Cheers!
I like it! We have to do what works for our respective needs and sizes. I definitely needed a bigger one so it worked for me. Glad that soft works for you!
Love your joinery design, techniques and craftspersonship, I wouldn't change a thing, except maybe scribe all jigsaw cuts, lol😊 good job. I believe I going to make one myself, maybe drop firing strip down and inlay plywood top, great job
I like that idea of dropping the fir strip and inlay the top. But you know what I miss? Edges for clamping. I can still do it, but if I had to do it all over again I'd probably wrap with something to give me a few more inches of overlay on the sides of the plywood on top to give me easy, short, clamping for the work surface. Other than that, still happy with it!
an awesome build! I never would have thought to use the oscillating tool like that. I realize i also i never thought about the fence sliding for the integrated table saw - will def have to keep that in mind when drawing up some plans.
Hi there, I've been enjoying your video so far. You are doing it super, I like your tools, well truth to be told, I love them all. Keep on with this, so far, I'm enjoying your woodwork. Just one little tiny suggestion... 30:33 there's no need to get new chisels, if you are patient enough (which I can tell you are), what you need is to clean them all, and sharpening with some wet stones, and maybe if you have fun, build some new chisel wood handles. Thank you for sharing with us your skills and techniques.
Thank you for the compliment and thank you for the advice on the chisels! I'll definitely be trying to sharpen them soon with a whetstone! More to come in the future
My nails change color during the build because it took more than a day for me to put it all together. In fact it took several days. And yeah, I do have some other tool brands. But I already have all the batteries I need for DeWalt so it's just easier for me to stick with that brand. Tool manufacturers know how to create brand loyalty 😅
Lots of good ideas. My concern would be accidentally knocking [expensive] drills onto the unforgiving concrete floor with my legs...perhaps resulting with battery damage. I would inset the shelf and fit another lipped shelf underneath with foam padding to cushion any tool falling.
Nice job, I would have started those deck boards on the bottom in the middle and worked my way out. That way the edge boards get cut to the same width and everything is symetric. Not a big deal, I just like symmetry.
I like that! Where would you put the router table? I'd consider doing something similar if there was a good spot for one that could hide away (I need the other side to assemble picture frames)
@@AndiWofford to the right of the table saw, where the fence extends. I already have a setup with plywood attached to my router that slides into the slots in the fence racks. Once built, the workbench will be flush with the table saw to the right like with yours, and the table saw fence will be usable for the router as well. I'll be sure to make a video once I begin building it!
Nice build... Couple of suggestions. 1. Lose the flipflops. Protect your feet. 2. Bottom shelf nees gaps for expansion and contractions. Just a thought your Milwaukee tape is your Easter egg. Can't wait to see what you do next! Subscriped.
very informative. Great work I learned a lot. Only wished you'd have spent a little more time showing how to build the box for the saw. Excellent video!!
This is my, its too cold out to work on the car or the garden, inside wood working project this winter. I'm adding a removeable slot on the side that will accomodate my mitre saw and with an insert also accomodate my thickness planer. Storage underneath for some other similar tools like a router table, a small bandsaw and a bench top belt/disc sander. Should keep my workbench space MUCH cleaner.
