Ask This Old House general contractor Tom Silva heads to Chicago to transform a garage into a woodworking shop.
SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse
Cost: $2,000-3,000
Skill Level: Moderate
Tools:
Miter saw [amzn.to/2Jt4jlW]
Table saw [amzn.to/2LBcPSC]
Drill/driver [amzn.to/302tbH0]
Sander [amzn.to/2vteHBZ]
Planer [amzn.to/2JedQOr]
Jig saw [amzn.to/30alK0i]
Pocket hole jig [amzn.to/2LDdAdM]
Shopping List:
2x4 lumber [amzn.to/2PSmBOu]
Sheet of _” birch plywood [amzn.to/309zb0D]
Window fan [amzn.to/2W0bx7m]
J hooks [amzn.to/2YiVtex]
Table saw stand [amzn.to/2HebKvG]
Steps:
1. For the folding workbench, build a frame out of 2x4 lumber approximately 4 feet long by 3 feet wide. Include two additional 2x4s for center supports.
2. Attach a 2x4 leger to the long side of the workbench using hinges. This leger will screw into the wall.
3. If you’re also using the workbench as an outfeed table, it should be slightly lower than the top of your table saw. Once you know that height, cut two 2x4s to serve as legs and attach them to the inside of the front of the frame using hinges.
4. Use a masonry drill bit and concrete screws to fasten the leger of the folding workbench to the wall.
Cut _” plywood for the bench top, and allow 1 1/2-2” around three sides for an overhang for clamping. Attach the workbench top to the frame by countersinking screws.

You can't wear them anywhere your toes can get injured (which to mind mind is everywhere).

@alishanmao 4 года назад

This video solved my issue. I am thinking to get into woodworking as I like to craft build and make. and I was wondering how i can turn my garage into a wood working workshop. I still may need proper ventilation and dust collection stuff.

@juanvaldez7613 3 года назад

If you do dust collection, look into using pvc pipe. It is light and cheap. As long as you don’t mind looking at it, it is easy to get wall mounting hangers that will hold in place as well. It wouldn’t take too much effort to get a network system around a garage/work shop. Shop vacs are a good simple option as well as you can get hose attachments for many hand held power tools slouch as routers or sanders. May not be as effective for larger tools such as table saws or radial arm saws.

@bobbg9041 3 года назад

@@juanvaldez7613 pvc pipe is not Code. code states metal pipe, because of static electricity and saw dust is dry and really flammable materials. the 2 do not mix. With that said you can look online for fires caused by plastic dust collection pipes I doubt you find any. But there is always a risk of static charge and ignition of saw dust. You will find Dryer fires from lint I've had a dryer burst into flames from lint and it was an electric dryer. Lint is very very flammable great to start a campfire with. Servlists use it for that. you have to weigh the pros and cons and know what your getting into. The shop vac works on a RAS and portable table saw not good on large cabinet saw worthless on jointer worthless on planer pointless on lathe Works great on my router table the router is in a box. Add a dust deputy its not as good anymore and the filter clog fast. Also good on a hand sander. If your going to use metal pipe don't bother with standard duct work its too thin, you want spiral pipe. I'll be running a 2hp 240 volt machine with a Hepa filter I plan on converting it to a 2 stage unit with a separator and 6" pipe. Study this stuff before you buy anything or you will waste money really fast that you can use on other tools. If your in a detached garage without heat you can just blow the dust out the window, no big deal if your in your home like a basement you going to want dust collection or you will clog your furnace filters and coat everything in your house with saw dust. A garage differnt story it depends. Is it heated?

@cesargonzalez5624 4 года назад

Bosch tools are rock solid. I am impressed with their 12 volt line. It's been my go to over their 18 volt drills. Most of the time thats all you need. I have the axial glide miter saw 12 inch. According to the specs it weighs about 88lbs add another 60lbs for the stand and its really freaking heavy. I mounted it on the cheaper Bosch stand and it tipped over and smashed my arm and leg. Huge bruises. Best miter saw but don't get a weak stand. I also have a bunch more tools by Bosch. You can't break them. They are insane.

@strandloper 7 лет назад

I was wondering about that. Most DIY/woodworking videos from the US make me jealous of the ease with which they mount things on their framed walls. Here in South Africa, walls are generally brick and we would always used a sleeve anchor, or rawl plugs as we call them when putting screws into them. I did notice though that the screws they used were probably twice as long as we would use with rawl plugs.

I really want to glue laminate myself a big solid table but my garage is not much bigger than this garage. As for the ventilation system, oh god no, that one fan in the window is not nearly enough, should set up a large shop vac in the corner of the room and route a hose overhead to your saws. Also that foam on the floor... the floor was easy to sweet until you get that form there, now you gotta vacuum it. Much better just having solid concrete flat floors with no mats or anything that will create edges for dust to collect on.

I saw that too. It would be nice if they broke the illusion that everything works perfectly the first time.

@Liam_Maddog 2 года назад

My first question was "What's the drill bit?" It doesn't look like a regular masonry bit. I also wondered if he was drilling into the brick or the mortar? And, what about using lead wall anchors?? Will those screws loosen over time? And then there's the cost of tools, especially the mitre saw. I think the concepts were fine but like Basard100, I think this video was a bit glossy.

Wow, All the comments on living/loving Chicago. I've only been there twice, both for music. I hear about all what's said below on the news. I'm amazed how many comments there are on here and although they lean towards crime and violence, it's pretty cool to see how tight the people are. All in one week. Thumbs up to all you people that have a voice..

Oh god this video is gold... those strange arms on the mitre saw I wouldn’t trust to cut my toast, let alone my work. Rails are the only way to go.

@Redandranger 3 года назад

Those "strange arms" are state of the art. You don't even use a chop/miter saw I bet. You sound like a hand saw guy to me.

@benclarkson4205 3 года назад

@@Redandranger ha Geoff... I am sometimes yes. But I was shocked at them. A few years of use and those joints are going to be rickety as hell I’m sure. Who knows... I could be wrong.

Boy I sure wish yall would come to my house. I've got a workshop set up in our second room, a 9x9 area. Unfortunately the wife and I dont have a garage or large back yard on our property. We like to tinker and build random projects, etc. We sure could use some guidance on how to maximize what we have. Great video!

@daniel1980ization 6 лет назад

drilling through that 2x4 with your masonry bit is a wonderful idea! look at all that smoke coming out, it indicates your drill bit is cool and working properly i bet...

@gregoryvangundy6170 7 лет назад

Lots of good advice. One criticism is that a miter saw has limited utility in a small shop where space is at a premium. A bandsaw would offer a wider range of possibilities. With a sled long boards can be broken down safely on a table saw or ( gasp) a good handsaw. Very cheap and sharp pull saws are readily available.

@fakecubed 6 лет назад

That miter saw is totally overkill for anything she would possibly be doing as a wannabe woodworker, but Bosch is paying for the product placement so maybe she'll just sell it on Craigslist. I agree a band saw would be a lot more useful, and they should've given her a planer and jointer.

@necrojoe 7 лет назад

Someone "interested in getting into woodworking" now has a $600 miter saw, while I actually work and I have a $199 saw. Nothing against her really I'm just jelly and bitter. That exhaust fan is janky, though...and also pocket hole joints aren't "super stong". Perfectly adequate for many things, but would never call it "super strong".

@algalkin 7 лет назад

I'd say, better would be money spent on 199 miter saw and another $400 on a planer.

@cup_and_cone 7 лет назад

necrojoe - Pockets joints really just hold it together while the glue dries, but provide the instant strength to continue without needing to worry about the glue drying like a biscuit joint.

@dandragland825 7 лет назад

necrojoe - Same goes for that router setup. Not that a router's in the 600 range, but still.

@joecleveland6525 7 лет назад

On an end grain to long grain joint like they showed glue will add very little strength. With that fancy plunge router they could have made a mortise and tenon joint, but this show is really about selling tools more than good technique anyway.

@Chris012345671 7 лет назад

Not only a very expensive compound miter saw but a very large one in such a small space. it would be best to fab a miter sled for that table saw
