Hi Mark, Every thing that's needed it's there, this is more like a multi multi workbench or a production line on a bench, your ideas are never ending and there is a place on the bench for it . built in dust extraction built in power supply, there is no other bench like this one and you should be proud of it. As always like your ideas and thoughts and plans it just work out. Great video, catch you soon Take care👍

Great list Mark. Thanks for sharing. I especially like your portable cleats that fit onto your bench. Great idea for anyone that’s invested the time to build out a french cleat wall (like I did). Irony, I build workbenches for a living. Do you think I have a workbench? Nope, just a slab of ply that clamps on top of my table saw & both wings. My track saw table doubles as an assembly table. If I ever build a workbench for myself, I intend to copy large portions of this video. I agree with/ your praise for the Matchfit dovetail clamps. Since buying these clamps I stopped buying T-track.

On your chip collection drawer, instead of a drawer, a hinged locking front with a weatherstrip seal would be a better choice. Then you can still have the tote and drawer behind the ‘vault’. I was a plumber that worked with a LOT of grease interceptors and they operate identically to a chip separator (grease floats and dense solids sink; septic tanks are similar.. don’t think about that) but both use fluid flow and require a closed (kinda) system to perform properly. Ideally it would help to spray the interior of the cavity of the box with flex seal or something as well as it should seal all the small holes as well as the long seams. I actually planned on making a very similar setup under a miter station with a hdpe water tank removed from an old camper (caravan) because it is perfectly sized and heat makes it shapable. My last bucket that went to a chip separator imploded because the sidewalls couldn’t take the force. My next one will be made with plywood and use a commercial cyclone on top, plastic catch bucket, and a hardware cloth screen over the outflow going to the vacuum

@startmaking1 Ай бұрын

Love this idea. I have been scorching my head to try and make this work and you have just nailed it. Thankyou. Sounds like your future system will be spot on. I may need to look into a similar set up for the tools of the future that are not in the table. All good fun huh.

Brilliant bench! You've made huge leaps in your craftsmanship in a very short time. Bravo! Very nice work! How much fun is it to go from concept to completion and it works the way you envisioned? This video should have been done around Christmas, because you look like a kid under the tree. I know you have your portable Moxon vise; but you may be well served to put a face vise on one end of that beautiful bench. Though your solution seems to provide the same purpose. I guess I'm just old. Ironically, I just rearranged the first bookcase I ever made to be mounted as a cabinet vertically, rather than its original horizontal bookcase orientation. I say this because I found without making drawers, I would have had a ton of wasted space. I re-used some of the drawers I had made for something else and constructed a few more. I made doors for the middle section and will store some cordless tools and supplies there. I'll use the top three open spaces as shelving, or storing scrap wood.

@startmaking1 Ай бұрын

Thank you Meat. It really is like Christmas in the workshop. To the extent that I am keeping the bench way too clean. You are spot on about the vise. The more I use the bench, the more I realise that in the end I will need something. That use of a book case sounds like my kind of job. Great repurposing. Not long until I need to move on to more storage. You seem to never have quite enough. Not a bad problem to have I guess, means I have a lot of toys. Take it easy bud.

For clamping with the bench dogs Veritas make a quick-release wonder dog which means you don't need to fiddle with twisting it against the work surface to tighten it down or needing to screw it a lot to get it into the ballpark of where you need it. It just slides to where you want it then pull a leaver to lock it down and tighten it up. Far nicer to work with.

Nice innovative bench. It will be interesting to see how you upgrade and modify it in use. I’ve been using homemade bench setups for years. A couple have large overhang edges for clamping and for vertical holding, I clamp a strong right angle fence vertical at the top edge, and then clamp to the vertical overhanging the bench. I also use old fashioned screw clamps -clamped to the bench top. I still want to improve my bench top holding with minimum dog holes. All my shop built stuff has friendly edges to avoid splinters and snagging my hands. A couple of my tops are much thicker with 2½” space between 2 sheets of plywood. I use pullouts on that bench all the time.. The gap allows for 3 full length by 1½ wide strong pullouts. I use them to support temporary shelves, work pieces, or stand alone on the pullout itself with v-block profile or holes in them for drilling, dowel cutting, etc. - between the pullouts are 2 narrow drawers with my most used hand tools. |[]| (--+--) |[]| (--+--) |[]|

Fantastic video and a bench I will definitely be using as an influence for my slightly smaller work area. However, after the little tease you left us with at the end of the last video, I was really looking forward to a much more in depth look at the Bluetti power bank. As a caravanner who likes to use off grid sites, the thought of being able to power my workshop and then my caravan at weekends intrigues me. I’d need to know much more about what exactly can be powered from it, particularly multiple devices at the same time, and what you’re personal opinion of that particular power bank is. Hopefully you’ll maybe do a dedicated video in the near future. Once again thanks for a cracking table idea. 👍

@startmaking1 Ай бұрын

Hi. Sorry for the teaser. I had 2 choices with the power bank. I could have just thrown a video together like so many others where I just show the unboxing and talk about the features but I dont think that is good value for the viewer. I am in the process of doing a far more interesting (hopefully) video where I actually try and use it in the real life scenario. I really want to see if someone with no power and just a shed, like I had before building a workshop, could run a woodworking hobby from there power bank. I genuinely think what you want is possible. I dont know if you can do it all from the solar recharge which is what I am currently testing but running from the mains to charge and then taking it to the workshop could be possible. I promise an in depth video in a couple of months.

For your dust extraction draw, why not make a lever cam lock that will vertically lift the dust catcher up and seal against the bench under the cyclone.

I haven't built my bench yet but when I do it won't have most of these things for one simple reason. Unlike your flight deck all I will have is a destroyer's helipad. As for the dovetail slots I can't afford a bass much less a tenor, well Ok I can ...but hey. BTW if you simply made a large drawer where your cyclone and drawer are the dust would have fallen out of suspension all by itself as there wouldn't be enough speed to carry it. Instead of a drawer a roll away box. You did convince me to put T track on the sides. if nothing else it will be handy for clamping the extra sander hose.

@startmaking1 It's definately possible. I've thought about it. There is quiet a few options. I have some ideas. If I can get to it that'd be great 🤣🤣

You got nothing else to complain about? Try the volume button or buy new equipment

@neilwightman that is strange. I did have a few sound issues and so it is lower than other videos I have done but only by 20% or so. Do you have the yt volume up high too
