In this video I make a new universal workbench top for woodworking outside. The worktop contains a Kreg router plate and dog holes for a Benchdog square and Fencedog dimensional fence, along with a Festool TS55 Track-saw and rail.

That is such a slick mft table design. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. After I build mine and work out the bugs I will build one for my son. He is a father of four beautiful young children and a career soldier in the US army. One of the busiest and hardest working people I've ever met. He loves woodworking and this will be such a blessing to him.

Great table Paul, I can’t think of anyone else’s wife who would let them be building this in their kitchen / house 😂. I love the layout and think the only thing that would make this work better for ‘me’ is to have the sacrificial strip run all the way to the end as I know without fail I would at some point be cutting through the trimming which probably serves good purpose keeping the sacrificial strip in place

@Smallbarnworkshop Жыл бұрын

Thanks Nick. Sometimes it easier to seek forgiveness than permission! I was afraid the saw wold kick the strip our with no restrain cut I do have a kerf mark in the noising. Good thing about the set up is the cut is always in the same place. Regards JP

A neat job, I'm doing something similar with my indoor bench, my small workshop can't justify a separate router table. Subscribed

Genius! Now I get why you didn't set the Kreg plate on a rabbet, nice one. Totally with you on the fiddliness of double-sided tape, please let us know if you find a good (affordable!) product. Miser that I am, few things in life are more frustrating than trying to lift a corner on poundshop tape... Thanks for the fab post, this and the previous build are the best portable bench solution I've seen on YT. Thunderbenches are go. Cheers.

Great video and a very well thought out bench. Does your Benchdogs square sit in holes that are in line with the ones for the fence dogs or have you put some further back?

@Smallbarnworkshop Жыл бұрын

Thanks Bruce. The holes are in line. The fence sits in front of its support dogs so it avoids a clash with the square. Regards JP

Hi. Nice work!? How should I paint the MDF "". its very hard to paint the wood eadges. Thank you

@Smallbarnworkshop Жыл бұрын

Hi Hector. There are some good videos on this on KZfaq so I would advise to watch one of them. As you say it is not easy but it is possible. it depends firstly on how good the quality of the MDF is, in my last build I used a little bit of quality MDF made by Caber, Medite or Kronospan are similar quality brands. Most MDF that you pick up from DIY shops are lower quality non-branded makes, so not as dense. This bench top is one of them. In terms of finishing the edges will need more coats and more sanding back than the faces , to allows the finish to totally soak in. Alternatively, design out having exposed edges by introducing a nosing, like I did here around the bench top. hope this helps regards JP

@Smallbarnworkshop Жыл бұрын

Hi Larry. I've not published a drawing, but if your would like a marked up photo I can send you one - I would need your email address. In essence the top is cut from 2 x 1200 x 600mm MDF sheets from my local DIY shop and laminated together with a 100mm (4") stagger at the joint. The MFT holes are at 96mm centres and are 20mm in diameter. The noisings are 21 x 44mm planned timber. The T tracks are set 100mm from the router plate. The router plate is sat centrally between the MFT holes. The tops overall dims with nosings are 650 x 1150mm. Regards JP

Oh look another cheap top made with an expensive one use tool. Glad you saved a few pounds by reusing your old top. Sorry if that seems harsch but every damned one of these cheap top videos uses a expensive uni-tasker tool. A DIY guy is not going to wear out a MFT tope every four months.
