Great result mate. No gunna lie, the table saw on the ground did freak me out. I have an extra large head though and prone to toppling 😆

Pocket holes are perfect for cabinet making. You chose wisely.

I know you might hate it (and look in the moment we all do), but showing your mistakes is helpful to us novice woodworkers, as we have either made the same/similar mistakes, or we now know what not to do. So appreciate leaving them in the video. Once again, loved watching the build and keep up the good work!

as someone whose woodworking experience is watching KZfaq, this is impressive.

I've made most of those mistakes, and many many more, myself. You did well. Paraphrasing Epictetus @27:09 was great. I particularly like Samuel Beckett's spin on it - "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better."

Always glad to help out another maker, and the unit came out awesome!

Hi. It’s great that you’re showing what can be done with limited resources so that you encourage those wanting to get started. As an Industrial Arts teacher I have two issues. The first one is safety. I have spent 40 years educating teenagers that if you are unsafe you will not be permitted to work. While jokes about safety thongs are amusing, actually working in them should not be shown. Who knows when you will take that next step onto a protruding nail, or lose grip of your circular just to name two common accidents at home. Eye and hearing protection should be worn whenever dust or swarf is produced or decibels are above about 70. I have lost a little hearing, but I have colleagues who are now suffering with nearly total deafness. Also, you call yourself ‘Melbourne Maker’. A great name by the way. You have an Australian accent and talk about Australianisms such as Bunnings. We, in Australia do not use the term ‘dado’ in woodworking - it is a rebate. FYI for correct nomenclature, a groove will run ALONG the grain, a trench ACROSS the grain and a rebate will be on an EDGE or END. Please get the little things correct. I would like to recommend your site to colleagues, as its 90% useful for teaching, but at he moment its really good for ‘spot the unsafe behaviour’ lesson. Thanks once more for the effort you’re going to. Lloyd

Here's my take on pocket hole joinery. It's perfectly acceptable for shop projects. The channels that show Festool domino joinery or biscuits, or dado, or mortice and tenon, are trying to sell a product. Quick, and dirty is the way to go for shop made furniture, and pocket holes are more than adequate.

you are killing it - glad to see someone else working from the floor and kinda sad to see you join team self-made table saw workbench but also happy - keep on making

Using double sided tape to get the correct position for mounting the drawer fronts is ideal. Always work smarter, not harder.

Hey David, Great video, I like the speed and rhythm of your presentation. Now, I reckon if you had taped your safety flip flops to each side of your phone..... well what can I say. Win win! Regards and stay dusty. One Handed Maker - Australia.

I think it’s brilliant. Thank you for sharing. Well done!

"This will be a nice quick project" Right. We always think that...

In Australia you can get the XPS foam boards at Bunnings, but they are 1/3 the dimensions of a full panel. I bought three and they're easy to store. Get a rated respirator if you're going to keep cutting MDF. You need to have three different sized holes predrilled for a recessed screw joint to pull itself together. Check out the "workshop companion" video on pocket holes for an explanation.

The way people learn, or hopefully do, is to learn from mistakes. Well done for showing to err is human.

I just bought my first table saw, a Metabo 254 M which I will hopefully set up tomorrow. Thanks for your design, I might use that as a starting point. Next you have to make a Thicknesser cabinet so you aren't running that on the ground!

Excellent video mate! Always enjoy watching your project builds and I’m relieved to see you not in your safety flip flops, could have had a nasty 🛹 accident 😉 😂 I spent the entire day making a dust extractor for my thickness planer! So much fun!

Very useful build man. This is something I need for my table saw as well.

Now you can build one for your thicknesser and smile

Great build I have done something similar for my Bosch saw. I think you have nearly as many Ryobi tools I do😂. I like the fold down extension well done 👍

This is really cool. I was gonna buy one of those folding stands for my saw cos I don't have much space either but now I feel like I'll end up hating it. Your video style is really good. Keep up it. Love that you're no bullshit and show all the mistakes as well. This stuff is hard for n00bz

Delightful. Thank you.

Another great video David - Im yet to comit to building a stand/cart for my Dewalt Saw, so ill keep this in mind. Its a great saw, but it really does need a left side extension and outfeed table. Well done, and congratulations on the new phone.

For the flickering lights, what frame rate are you filming at? If it's at 30 or 60 fps you'll get that sort of effect due to our electricity running at 50Hz in Australia, see if it goes away filming at 25 or 50 fps. I know on iPhone you can enable PAL modes in settings->camera which lets you choose 25 fps modes, but frustratingly you'll need a 3rd party camera app (I'd recommend Filmic Pro) to do 50 fps.

Awesome video, I’ll definitely come back to this when the wife caves and I’m able to get my table saw 😊 On the note about things going wrong, a cabinet I’m restoring, everything was going swimmingly till I came to varnishing the top. To cut a long story, short, sanded back to wood bare wood, restained, and varnished again. 😫 My lesson, don’t apply to much pressure during sanding the 1st coat of varnish! What doesn’t kill ya , makes ya stronger 👍🏻

I’m definitely with you on having strong opinions/confidence based on hours logged on KZfaq. “Actual projects are much harder to make than they appear.” Nice vid, nice table - congratulations. Also I think that was only an average number of screwups.

The end result soon allows the blues to be forgotten. Good job bet you appreciate the extra storage. Cheers Dave 🇦🇺

I have one of those big 4x8 sheets of foam, and store it in my storage building, against a wall. :) Comes in very handy for breaking down sheet goods, though.

Great video I've had the same table saw for about four years now and to get rid of the steel legs is on my to do list. This video might get me motivated to build the same. Thanks Steve.

Awesome project man what a great video

Great video but may I suggest story stick, pinch rods (Wood by Wright) and cut list ( Bradshaw Joinery).

That is the perfect set up for my tiny space. Awesome.

much better than being on the floor man, I hate seeing people do that 😁 👍

Dude, I was one of those that commented on your thongs last video (not flip flops, we're not Yanks 😂). You didnt need to go all 'safety boots' for working in your garage. Just a pair of runners / sneakers (whatever you wanna call them) would do. Any shoes are better than no shoes.

Great vid! Thanks man

This is perfect timing mate, Im about to rebuild my table saw stand as well.

Awesome video dude! Keep up the great work, you'll have 10k subs in no time!

Queda bastant bien, y muy útil. Enhorabuena.

Is it me or does this man have the worlds best looking Ryobi miter saw????

well done *holds all the jokes inside*

6:32 With athleticism like that, safety flip flops are only holding you back. There's no way you can pull a maneuver like that in flip flops haha

You don’t need more storage, you need another shed 😂🤣😂

Just finished the video. Excellent design for a small shop! I do have a question I just can't parse out myself: Why did you glue-up all 4 of the flooring boards into one big panel, just to then cut it in half? Why not just glue up 2, and then the other 2, together?

I like it, but why did you make the drawers so shallow?

Very nice! What finish did you use?

@ 21:24 into the video, you could have gotten seriously injured. Don't ever hold the piece with your arm across the miter saw. Use your other hand to bring down the saw.😮

Where are your safety flip flops?

Did I miss the 'secret feature'?

Sheesh - need more detail in your videos mate. You can't leave "went to the footy last night and might have had a few drinks" hanging out there. What game and was it a happy or sad hangover?

Nothing convyes disappointment quite like hands.

Re: the video title Don't worry, I'll make all new mistakes if I try this.

Hey, love your work,but please don't use cross hands on mitre saw! Very dangerous!

Wots a flip flop?

Cobram state extra virgin no less 😉👍

Come on mate. You call yourself then Melbourne Maker, but call them “flip flops”. They’re bloody thongs or pluggas

why does this guy look like he is going to sell me a used sham wow rag or some other garbage phone order rag from early 2000s

Get rid of the subtitles. They're annoying.
