I hope you have enjoyed the build. For a full list of tools check out the website www.start-making.com .

Another fine video, sir. Great project, too! I worked in a custom display house for a few years; and laid thousands of square feet of decorative laminate, so miles of finishing razor sharp routed edges. FWIW, the most common method used was to just break/relieve that razor corner with a file, typically held at about 45 degrees for one or perhaps two passes. Your solution of course is much more elegant. The wood edging gives an attractive touch to what is often just a utilitarian shop fixture. Enjoying your videos! Keep up the great works.

Mark the bench looks absolutely amazing so far can’t wait to see it finished. Great job. This is exactly the kind of bench I want to build because I have the same table saw and want it right in my bench also. Thanks for sharing

Nice build Mark! I'd love to show my workbench some love. It is by far the number 1 used thing in my shop and PROBABLY the most neglected. 😂 Someday...someday.

For thoes who may want a simple topper for a workbench as us contractors we have to set up temporary solutions per job and we use frp or shower wall sheets. They are smooth almost impervious to glue paint whatever and they are 20us a sheet. I can't get milmine for that and frp glues down with with basic construction adhesives. Might save someone some effort and it's very impact resistant!

So many other builders never show their mistakes. Glad you do. I thought it was just me who made mistakes.

I love your honestly when you make a mistake and even though you said you were sort of building on the fly it turned out great!

The top replacement, sacrificing the feet, is a great idea 👍

Basic built bench but the added touches make it look mint. 👍🏻 Great work. 🤝🏻

Wow, Mark. That is what I call a real upgrade of a bench. The black laminate looks great.. Love the way that you save so much storage elsewhere by having it under the bench.. Well done.

Great video. Wish I had the space in my shed for a bench that big. I made the Paul Sellors plywood workbench in mine. I have the same tablesaw and I have it on a purpose made rolling box so I can bring it out into the center of the shed when needed

Who doesn't love hardwood edging, nice job

Love it and am slightly jealous! Will be first on my list if build once my workshop is built!

Great job! I like the way you speak honestly. Perfection is hardly ever necessary

Holy cow! Look how far you've come! Great job. I can't tell you how many times I've made and modified my workbenches; in fact now that spring is around the corner, we are , once again, revamping the shop. I'm still working with a broken wing; it's limiting, but I'm taking my time and living with analgesics. This table saw is aces and will serve you well for years. We love the rack and pinon fence, you will too. Looks like you've gone to the Meat studio school of over-engineering. It costs a bit more to do this; but, generally, it will not fail. God help you trying to move this around the shop. I know how heavy that piece is. Ah, wheels, bravo! Happy to see you using the mask whilst gluing. That's the most brilliant thing you did during this build (well, maybe not the most, but very good). This was an excellent build video as you gave some great tips and techniques that were shared. You're a pro now!

🎉🎉🎉 Thank you for sharing your techniques with us. I’m not interested in building that kind of table BUT I love learning everything you do. I haven’t built anything in a very long time but this really inspires me to do something. Blessings,Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸

It amazes me how much you can learn about a woodworker by his (or her) bench. I'm building one right now too, and it will have almost nothing in common with yours.

Looking good mark workshop is getting there 👍

Excellent build! Great idea running the power from the ceiling, too.

You seem to have covered most of the design aspects that I did when I built the table for my much older DW745, but there are some important things you missed that I’m sure you would eventually stumble on, so here are some lessons learned. First, the leading edge of your outfeed table looks square. There is nothing more frustrating than pushing an ever so slightly bowed board thru and having it droop just enough to get stuck on the leading edge of the outfeed table while the blade is still cutting thru the wood, it’s dangerous. Put a small ~1/8” (~3mm) round over on the leading edge of the outfeed table and sand it with some 400 grit so the laminate and wood blend smoothly. This will reduce the chance of boards getting stuck. I’d actually recommend doing this to the edges of the side supports as well, for when you’re sliding wood around during prep. It’s probably too late for this suggestion, but you could have put the outfeed table closer, the farther away it is the more chance of boards getting stuck, as described above. Put the outfeed table in as close as you can, then cut a small relief cut away in the outfeed table far to the right for opening the fence locks. However, that means adjusting the fence to the right every time you want to take it on/off, which can be mildly annoying at times. I even put a second one on the left for the occasional left mounted fence cut. Eventually, you will want to use those miter slots for more than just small miter gauge cuts, like table saw sleds of various types, which require miter guides to extend beyond the table saw top, but the outfeed table will be in the way. You will need to cut relief slots into the outfeed table. Just route them out ever so slightly wider than your miter slots. You don’t need them for alignment, just relief; the slots in the saw will do the alignment. Next, you don’t want to lock the table saw down. You do however want it to be stable and to quickly realign on all axes when you put it back. After all it’s a portable saw so why not keep it portable? At the least, you will need to remove it to clean and maintenance. The dust capture housing is actually open to provide relief for adjusting the blade angle (unless they have made improvements since my model). You’ll notice a cut away on one side, just underneath the table top (look under table insert on the right). This means a significant amount of dust escapes, even with a good strong shopvac attached, which eventually clogs up the gears and other moving parts. I have to clean my saw’s under carriage and grease the gears 1-2 times a year. You’ll know its time when you raise the blade and it screeches at you, it’s a common thing with these saws. You’re on the right track with your idea, but there is a simple better way. Instead of retaining the rubber feet, retain the metal framing tubes. First, cut two strips of wood for mounting parallel with the full length (between the rubber feet) of the framing tubes. Second, cut 45deg chamfers along the length of the strips that will act as wedges against the under curve of the framing tubes. Effectively, you want to make a V-channel out of the two strips for the framing tubes to rest in. The metal framing tubes won’t compress over time, but the rubber feet will, the V-channel will help reduce this. You don’t really want the V-channel to take all the weight. Just leave it sitting shimmed like it is now, then abut the wedge strips in snug and screw them down. This will keep the saw from moving forward, back or yaw (yaw wrt the miter slots parallel to the outfeed extension slot cuts described above). Finally, add some more wedge type retainers on the side tubes to inhibit left to right motion. The framing of my older model is slightly different so you will have to figure that out, but something similar in concept. So, why is this better? The goal should be to remove the table saw and quickly replace it at exactly the same position, height and angle, so it is flush with the outfeed and aligned with the miter slot reliefs in the outfeed. All while keeping the saw stable. With the simple V-channel supporting the round tubing I can plop my saw right down and it self-aligns in all dimensions, with no fuss, and it remains stable when operating. I wish I could post a picture, because this sounds complicated, but it is really just a few simple strips of wood with 45deg cuts. Finally, from what I can see DeWalt still hasn’t added a lock to the blade height adjustment wheel. The vibrations are enough that during extended operations the weight of the knob will turn the wheel until the knob rests at the lowest position, unintentionally repositioning the blade height. This isn’t a problem for thru cuts, but if you’re cutting rabbits (rebates) or dados which require critical depth of cut, especially when making repeated cuts on multiple pieces while leaving the saw running, you may find that the cut depth starts to vary. Simple solution: make a wood wedge, set your blade height, and jam the wedge behind the blade height adjustment wheel to lock it in place. Not really a bench issue, but something to save you a few headaches. Btw, 3x3Custom Tamar has a great video for tuning your DeWalt that helps a lot. Also, the fences are notorious for not being square to the table top, in the vertical direction. There is no direct mechanism for calibrating it, but it can be done, so if yours is off here is a video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ptx-pbd_q6ezfmg.html&lc=Ugzxtra0wchK6j7QWWF4AaABAg.9IYcuIjl6DS9LloubqTMaV Sorry for the length, it was a slow day here, Good Luck!

You are going to love the fence on your new saw, because you can dial it in to perfection. The bench is actually very good. Well done. (you could could have been the most loved cast member of Monty Python, by the way :-)

I thoroughly enjoyed that video building a simple effective and efficient workbench. Good job 🌞

Love the workbench, Mark! Building the table saw into the bench is a great idea.

Love that one Mark, the skirt is a cool idea. Have you thought about a deadman? I used Steve Ramseys' weekend woodworker build for my first bench and adapted it for the second bench. Replaceable tops, easy construction, no joinery, really. 12 years on and still going strong. 2nd tops in situ, well tops flipped over as all the holes still fit if you plan for that ie. 2 inches in from either end etc for dog holes. Now heading towards a Roman style workbench based on Ryan's Mountain Top Joinerys' L shaped saw bench. Hope this helps someone. Can't wait to see how your bench turns out Mark. Great share.

For the tops on my benches i put the border 3mm above the top, then double tape a sheet of Hardboard to the top that way if it gets damaged its cheap and easy to replace.

Awesome build! Looks like it will be really useful. I like the low glare top

Great project Mark. It should suit your needs for many years to come. Have fun building your projects on it.

This is great Mark, it turned out so well! Looking forwards to seeing it more in action over the next few months.

Great video! Nice to see the progression of your shop! Thank you for sharing!

Great video, Mark. I’ve been waiting for this for some time as I’m getting the same table saw (dwe7492) and also want it on the end, like yours. I love the tip about putting the saw just above the level of the table… I wouldn’t have thought of that and haven’t seen it on other builds. I know you’ve got your Moxen vice but I definitely want a fixed vice too, with dog holes. Keep talking about how the bench is working out because it’s going to be when you’re using it in anger that you’ll really know what decisions have worked and what ones will make a future “so here’s what I did to fix that” video ;) Really enjoying watching you grow. It’s very encouraging.

Great video! Table looks great! Will you be covering drilling the MFT style holes in another video?

Good job, nice build

Man ! Love the content brother. Thanks for the tips along the build

Power Pack, Great idea. I Worry about the fine dust around the workshop long term !!.

This was an incredibly interesting video to watch. Especially watching somebody with roughly the same skill level as myself. If anyone watches this as the first video from you , I have no doubt they will subscribe. Very well produced vid.....and a fantastic work bench , which I will be copying 👍👍👍

That saw is fantastic and I bought it for the same reason, the fence. Noisy though! I have a standalone saw stand and I've put a cheapo bathroom mat underneath the saw and surrounded 2 and a half sides with plywood flocked with left over insulation. It really does help absorb some of the high pitched screaming. I always use ear defenders but for reference I can now just about tolerate the motor whine without them and it's helped with noise transmission to the outside too. If anyone else is building a workbench I really recommend buying an old solid wood table off Facebook and using that as the top surface. It's actually cheaper than ply!

Great video 👏 Subscribed to see more form you :) Actually great timing from my point of view (probably thanks to the YT algorithm LOL) as I am in the planning stages for my first workbench. I found this video inspiring, encouraging and useful all at once. Your "story" is pretty much the same as mine - I am currently using 1/3 sheet of 18mm ply over two Stanley sawhorses with the other 2 pieces available to extend the size as required (rarely) in my 1 car, low ceiling garage. The set up has actually proved to be quite usable but certainly has limits. I also have recently acquired the same table saw as you and want to build it in because I am much older than you and lugging it up and down all the time is killing my back ;). BTW I strongly recommenfd fitting a soft start module if you haven't already. It's a 10 euro, 10 minute job that even I could do thanks to a million YT tutorials but what a difference it makes!! Looking forward to seeing more of your well delivered videos. Thank you !

Great looking bench and I'm very envious of the table saw (one day, one day!) Freshly minted woodworking newbie here, just getting into Steve Ramsey's WWW so this channel is going to help me tonnes (or 'tons' if that's your thing)👌

Thanks for a great video,

Lovely stuff pal, much appreciated

I'm in the process of building my bench, incorporating a table saw. I was going to get the same saw you got, but then SawStop brought out a very similar one-but with of course their safety technology-for around the same price (here in Oz at least), so I got that instead. I'm building my saw into one corner, rather than the middle of one end, and plan on having a router table to the right of that. I don't see how that would stop me using the fence. If the router is lowered, the fence will just pass over it. The rest of the bench is in two halves, split longitudinally. One half is thick and solid, using three layers of flooring chipboard glued together (because that's what I had), topped with 9mm MDF, for a total thickness of about 66mm. The other half is one layer of the chipboard flooring topped with 'FormPly', a cheap plywood for concrete forms, that has a thin plasticised surface that glue doesn't stick to very readily. For castors, I'm using ones such as those featured in a video by Carl Holmgren titled "Retractable Casters for Power Tools" (although numerous other videos with similar setups are around also). You don't have to keep fitting and removing them to move the table.

Great build, I need to make myself a new workbench, I've been putting it off cause my space is so limited...

Well done! 👍

M8 bravo. That looks amazing. Can't wait to see what u fill all the cubby holes with. And also your first use of the table saw. Great idea though putting push sticks etc etc near the table saw although my 1 bit advice get wooden push stick made trust me if one those plastic ones get snagged by the blade you'll wanna change your underwear don't ask how I no 😮. Am certianly gonna take inspiration from yours to make mine. Hopefully gonna start mine shortly once a get these planters out today. Maybe next week or week after. Definitely needing one. Speak soon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Very similar to what I'm hoping to build this summer. I think I have the next size up in the job site saw, and the biggest problem I have with it is outfeed, so a nice long table with the saw at the end should solve my problem.

Great video. Workbench looks great.

Another great video mate, loving the moby vibes on the video still lol

I'm currently building my bench as well and think I might incorporate some of your ideas. I like the idea of adding layers of plywood under the feet to allow additional layers on the top later. One thing to note: Since it appears you just purchased this saw and probably haven't had much time with it, when you tilt the blade to co cut an angle, the dust shoot moves with the blade so you might have to adjust the hole you made in the back of the saw cavity to account for this.

Great job looking to make something similar so I’ll save your video and reference it when I start the build which will be in about 4 months from today. ❤❤

Nice build Mark. You could incorporate your router into your bench, mine sits just to the side of my table saw. I can also foresee you falling down the rabbit hole that is table saw jigs🤔

Yes mark looks like your enjoying your self ha ha funny as well belting rkid best thing about diy bench is like you say to you own sizes yep dile it in mine was goved by the beach table top I found from a pub in Manchester City centre frame and legs are from hardwood internel doos I picked up of Facebook marketplace free keep it up rkid love you vids

I’m excited to see how the power station works. It could be game changing for ppl like myself who would do well with a shed for a shop than taking over a small garage but it’s always been the power issue that’s stopped me. Curious to see if the bluetti can actually power not just a tablesaw (mine pulls a lot of energy) and a dust collector, lights, etc simultaneously

Great build Mark, your enthusiasm is brilliant and the bench looks so good. Will you be putting out any plans for it.

You need a vise. A vise on a workbench is so useful I'd consider it essential. So much work revolves around being held in a vise. It is like having an extra hand. A really powerful hand. So start researching what kind of vise you can make, or buy, that'll work on your workbench.

Hi Mark, That is the ultimate and the dream workbench, I would love to have an Island workbench with a table saw and off feed table. The best way to build is not to over think what it should be its down to just cut the timber to size and thinking on the move as you build it, in other words winging it. most of the time doing that works out better than planing it, saying that do need to thing what you going to put in to the bench but the building of the bench just go for it. I do like what you have made and I would love to build one, all I can say is that is one great workbench well done mate. As always a great build video, Take care

Nice job....... right at theis moment I cant even afford the 4x2 or ply so am using off cuts and an old table I bought off FB.....I need to sort a decent table though.......

Nice one mate, the casters are brill, just ordered them. I know you by now…… what finish did you put on the rest of the bench? Have a good un.

I need a workbench too. But. I keep drilling through my melamine sheet. And I am afraid that something decent - will give me a hard time doing so 😂. Maybe…. I’ll need a top that is replaceable. Or at least part of it.

This is absolutely fantastic. I need to build a workbench/outfeed table for my latest tablesaw. I was looking at different materials to cover the surface of the bench & had another product in mind which I saw on another video but the laminate you've used also looks great. Do you have a link to the product you've used. Thanks. Looking forward to seeing what other things you do.

Hi mark great looking workbench a KZfaq workbench lol can I say one thing I am not putting you down it just how I feel about this video. The video was like one long introduction to the video

with the power system directly under the table saw, wouldn't it get constantly covered in dust? I am currently designing my own workbench, to fit into a small 1 car garage type space. and I'm planning to use the space under the table saw, as dust collection. Which, in its most basic of forms, will be a deep removable drawer. I do have a few more cool ideas, but I'm still developing a design, so I'll get back to you on them later 😊👍

Where did the laminate come from ? Great build 👍🏻

Is the area where the table saw is integrated included in the 8x4ft section or is that added onto it?

It looks really nice. I like the look of the black laminate top with the wood border. Is there a reason you didn't incorporate the router table into the top?

Great build. Where did you get the laminate from?

I think the lack of vise is a big ommission? I just bought a 2nd one - literally last night....

Where did you get the melamine from and how much do they sell it for? I want to cover my workbench with it when i get around to building one.

Hi Mark....where did you get the laminate from?

Nice build Mark - I’m in the market for some laminate to cover my worktops on my benches - can you let me know the supplier / type you have used it looks great! Thanks.

Can I ask what that blue tape is and where I can buy it? I am in the UK.

Who did you order the laminate from?

Where did you get the laminate from?

Are your 2x4s over there actually 2x4? Honest question as I am American born and raised. They look bigger than ours which are actually smaller

Hey mark.! Knock up a Right angled plywood sanding pad for finishing the edges. And if you’d built the whole top as removable you could have done the lot with the flush trim bit.!!!!! Also what’s going on with the floor.!!! The more stuff you put in there - the less inclined you’ll be to do it.!!!! And That O.S.B. Isn’t going to last much longer, especially with the world war one “ TRENCH WARFARE “ exhibit you’re working on !!! 😂😂😂

Maybe turn saw fence around....

Are you considering building the router table into this new work bench?

Does anyone really ever stop working on their workbench? Two days ago, I saw so much wasted space on one side of my bench, so I spent a few hours drilling, routing, sawing, gluing, and scattering magnets and clips where i saw fit. All of my most used tools are now even closer to me. Instead of them being 80cm behind me, they're now 15cm within eye sight. I think i just improved my productivity and organisation by 81.25%. 😅 Your workbench will never be complete. You'll just have higher priority projects that need the workbench as it is now, not how youd like it to be in the future.
