#shopproject#woodworkingproject#diyprojects
I'm watching this one shortly after watching one of your older videos and I have to say your VO style has improved dramatically. It sounds more like an actual explanation and not just a boring script read. Much appreciated!
Great bench! Really like the design and your choice of materials and joinery for this... just what I need to build for myself, thanks!
Great job. I wish my shop was large enough to use this design.
Great. I am going to build a workshop from scratch and I believe this is the best workbench I can find on KZhead.
I built one, (not quite as fancy as I have a limited budget) Bought a solid core exterior door 36" x 80" for top, utilized some re-purposed 4x4's (from neighbors' fence) and made a cantilevered shelf on one end for my old craftsman tablesaw, large hole in shelf with garbage bag (one end cut off) as a sawdust chute into shop built wooden box on castors to catch sawdust. End vice, storage drawers x 4, shelves for tools i seldom use Glue & tape rack & clamp storage- Tyler (I wish you tube would allow posting of pictures)
That's making great use of what you have available!
Awesome!
Nice video. I now might have to re-make my outfeed table. I like the look of the black Formica, but I chose white for my mine because I can draw on it full size to make sure parts fit. Yes it does get dirty, but it's a shop.
That’s a really nice table/cabinet. Also like that you added the 3 drawers. Your videography is outstanding!
Thank you, Ted! 😃
Not sure you covered this, but formica is a brand name. There are several different names that can be used, wilsonart being one of them. The correct terminology is laminate and there all pretty much the same. Great build keep up the good work.
Fantastic work, Matt! Great looking table! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks 😊
Beast Mode Workbench! Nice job, looks great and thanks for sharing your experience 😃
You're welcome 😊
The end result is simply amazing! This will make you very happy for years to come. Awesome video
I hope so 😃
Enjoyed watching that. Lovely bench 🎉🎉
Definitely saving this for a shop remodel. Great job!
Awesome! Glad you liked it!
This is a very nice design, well thought out. I did something similar to my 40x90 workbench, breaking into 3 pieces so I could CNC whatever type of top I want (dogs, t-track, combo, etc.) One recommendation is to give access to the top t-slot of your extrusions. The Kreg Automaxx clamps fit and they are brilliant for top or side clamping, quickly and easily. They were a game changer when I added extrusion to all 4 sides of my bench. I hardly use my Festool clamps anymore.
That's true although I don't have those clamps... yet 🤣
Thing i love about your style is you make it look all so easy then you explain what you would do if it was not working as expected that's the trait of a good teacher
Hey! I appreciate the kind words!
Great outfeed! Man, that thing is massive and you really thought through everything.
It's a beast 💪
Awesome table! I love the black top and will incorporate that into my next work table ect. Good video , really good job!
Thanks 😃
Nice design. Beautiful, precise work. Thanks for th inspiration!
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent work.
That is quite a build and amazing out feed table. Could be main workbench for normal woodworker like me 🙂. I didn't realize 80-20 works for Festool and microjig clamps - thanks for sharing!
It's going to be my workbench as well!
Nice work. I also made an out feed / assembly table 14 or so years ago. The annoying part was when you need ur table say when you are assembling something at the same time, and your work piece gets in the way. 👊
Great work Matt! Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome 😊
This an impressive video, beautiful work !
Seems to be popular in my feed today- this is the second I've seen (the other was Jason at Bourbon Moth). Very similar, but with some differences that reflect personal preferences/needs. Nice work putting this together- lovely finished product!
Thank you sir!
That is one beautiful work/outfeed table. Very cool design/materials also. 👍😎
Thanks Robert!
Aren't you as cute as a speckled pup in a red wagon...🐕 Great job! Awesome shop too. What is so nice about your work bench is it can be configured in many ways but remain the same size and shape. Thanks for sharing this video.
Excellent table and video! Looking to do a smaller out-feed table myself in my my new shop!
Awesome
Awesome build! One suggestion - if you didn't want the T tracks on the sides to protrude - just bore 1" holes on either end of the t track before installing it, it works great and you don't snag anything on the edges!
Great idea!
If a guy that was setting up a new shop was building this table, I would recommend that he incorporate a router lift into it. I would also suggest changing the top to incorporate a downdraft table. But the way you built it...man I am in love. Beautiful project.
That's a great idea! I already have a router lift built into my table saw, if you squint real hard you can see it in the thumbnail picture but I agree that would be a great addition to a table like this.
killer work on the outfeed table!
Thanks!
I really like the 8020 aluminum extrusion trick you did here. I'm gonna add that to my work bench
It's so handy
Brilliant build! Great job sir!
I have an outfeed table with a pre-fab maple top with a similar dog hole pattern. I enclosed it underneath, slapped a DC fitting on the end apron, and now the entire thing is a down-draft table. Super handy! Not nearly as big as your tho. Nice work!
Oh wow that's awesome. I need to make a down draft table
@@MWAWoodworks I need to use a block of wood if I want to use a hold-fast, because they’ll whack the little 1/4” ply if whatever I’m holding is thin, but that’s a small compromise. I just screwed thin plywood rails at a slight incline onto the front and back apron, slid the plywood in, then held it in with blue tape. So if I drop something in there (and can’t get it with a magnet), I can take the tape off and fish it out. Or fish it thru the dust port. Even if you have a shop vac on a random orbit sander, it’s nice to have that to really get the dust flowing away from your face! I just disconnect the hose and use it for my router table or drum sander. Super handy.
Excellent build. I like the setup and all of the storage space you have. Your narration also makes it simple and easy to understand what steps you use. I agree with one of the other comments that edge banding after the Formica is easier and more accurate. After all is said and done, what do you think the total cost of building a table like this would be? What is the total size of the table. I have a single car garage that I'm getting setup and, to be honest, I did it out of construction lumbar and rough plywood covered with Formica bc of the cost. Looking forward to watching some of your other vidoes as well.
Very professional work sir. 🤙
Another great build!
Thank you Jay!
Couldn’t see how you planned on getting sawdust out of the dog holes? Just plan on vacuuming from the top? Or did you have some other solution? Thanks!
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Thats fantastic! wish I had the room!! subscribed and looking forward to watching your channel.
Great looking work sir!
Thank you Craig!
I'm new here, but after a couple of videos, it was an easy decision to subscribe. I'm enjoying your style. You have lots of compition on the tube, but it seems like you are up for the challenge. Keep up the good work.
Awesome outfeed! I’d love to make a smaller 4x4 version for my shop
Nice!
And just when I thought I had my new outfeed/workbench table drawn up, I get new ideas. Now I'm back to the drawing board, lol.
Haha awesome! Glad to inspire your work!
Bessey makes extension joiners for their parallel clamps. I have used mine more than I originally thought I would.
I think I have those.... somewhere 🤣🤣🤣
Even though I have a large table saw, I still end up using a track saw to break down ply wood. So I think my out feed table is going to incorporate track saw accessories, festool dust extractor and cyclone. Maybe even integrate sanding storage 😅
All great ideas!
I think it's probably best that you put the edge banding on your table top, after the formica. This actually conceals the razor sharp edges of the formica. GREAT BUILD!!!!!!!!
With the added benefit of looking awesome- the light maple against the black Formica really pops.
Looks amazing!
Thanks!
That's a monster table man ! Very nice !
It was a monster to move around!
@@MWAWoodworks Oh I bet ! I'm fixing to build me a new outfeed/assembly table. Gonna have to steal a couple of your features to add to mine. I'm very impressed.
Great video amazing build the table looks amazing
Thanks, Jim!
Nice outfeed table. I built a ROUBO split top bench and the design has the outside face of the legs flush with the top for smooth unencumbered clamping. That might have been a nice idea to work into yours. Don't get me wrong, again that is a nice table.
Nice Table😀
Man, you did a great job.
Thanks!
Thanks for this great video for an excellent project. I'll be starting my version of this next week. I need to incorporate a router with a fence that is easily removable.
That sounds awesome!
Lmao when you need a fully tool loaded shop to build a an out feed table.came out badass man can’t wait till I collect more tools for my chop.
Thanks brother!
So those bessy clamps you have.... the holes on the end are for a bracket you can buy and turn 2 of your 50 inch clamps into a 106 inch clamp. Awesome build!
Yes! I need to invest in a few of those.
Really sweet!!
🙌
Sick workbench, been thinking about making one and really like the design! Can you maybe do a vid showing different ways you use the bench dog holes? I feel like a lot of workbench videos show them built in, but don't really go over what you use them for haha
Good thoughts!
Amazing job. 🙂
Thanks!
Very well, good work
I regret not subscribing to your channel earlier you got a lot of useful information thank you for your service.
Thanks so much 😊
Looks great!!!!
🙌
Looks Great
Thanks Raj!
Great video, question how do you manage saw dust in the dog holes?
Amazing work, you just gained another subscriber. hugs from Brazil
Awesome, thank you!
At one employer, we had a "spindal saw". It was a cast block with a movable vertical mounted motor, to which a blade was mounted. I could raise the spinning blade up or down by 150 mm.
😉Fantastisch, en heel goed uitgelegd. Dank je.
Great looking table and love the idea of the aluminum extrusion; thanks for all the tips on this one. Have a question about the fence on your MFT…do you have a video about that? Looked interesting and I think I’ve seen it on Bents’ Woodworking but wasn’t sure if it was the same one. Just curious. Thanks!
Yes it's the same one Jason uses from Benchdog UK. I don't have a product specific video on it but I believe he might.
Hello Matt, love the videos and I have learned a great deal from you. I have an existing outfeed and work station. You inspired me to change the top to an MFT. My question is, what is under yours? Drawers, cabinets? Where does the dust and other stuff drop into? Thank you and I appreciate your efforts!
Great bench! Building mine based on this design - with some tweaks! Did you build your bottom rails low enough (or high enough) to go over/under the dust collection port? How did you integrate your dust collection with this setup?
You just made an instant fan.
Woo hoo!
Very nice job Matt. It looks great and I'm sure it's going to be very serving to you.Sometime soon you may consider a portable moxen vice for the top like the one on Tamar`s 3x3 channel.
Great build! Thinking about replacing my outfeed/assembly table so this might work nicely. One question though....I'd like to do the dogholes but get lots of sawdust and shavings on my tabletop, any ideas on how to keep all this from falling through and making the inside of the drawers and cabinet a mess? Thanks!
A small 1/4 hardboard sloped towards the sides of your table under the tabletop can allow most of the dust fall towards the sides but shield things underneath.
looks awesome
Thanks!
Hi. Great video. What size Aluminum Extrusions did you use to properly hold the dovetail clamps? I like this as an option to routing out my own in hardwood. Thanks.
I have been looking at building an outfeed table for my table saw, but my garage is not solely for woodworking. I was wondering what you would think about making an outfeed table out of 4 separate tables that could lock together. any thoughts on ideas for locking these tables together? Thanks. BTW, I love your channel. The various shop ideas have inspired me to get most of my tools off of just clamping to the bench top and actually making individual cabinets for each. I'm also about to start a built in cabinets for my wife based on your quick cabinet designs.
I've never see someone try ti wrangle four tables into one but I have seen people do it with two. I think they used barrel locks to secure them together
@MWAWoodworking...that sir...is a thing of beauty! I'm totally jealous of your work shop...Just found you today...loving the humour...man glitter...lol.
Hey could you do a video of your miter station, a review I guess, what you like, what you would do differently? Is the depth you went with the right depth? Also how many sheets would it take to build that miter station you have? Thanks a lot love your videos
I've got a video on the miter saw station on my channel as well as plans available 😉
Very nice project. As a fellow woodworker, I am convinced we spend most our time building nice projects for our shop rather than use our shop to build nice projects for others!! 😁😂 I have often wondered when I finish building all of the shop projects I think of, what will I do then?!?
I can tell you for sure people enjoy watching my shop project videos WAY more than when I build something else 🤣
theres so many little things with these tables that i think people notice after the fact like what happens when something falls thru the hole? how do you retrieve it. Also when dust falls in there, how do you clean it up? i think a table that addresses this and the other little things would make an ultimate table. I know dennis from hookd on wood addressed this issue and well thought out. Cant wait to make mine. great video still
Did you join the two pieces of the mdf together or did you not need to because they are both secured to the edge banding?
NEW SUBSCRIBER, GREAT OUT FEED TABLE‼️‼️ Vinny 🇺🇸
🙌
How about routing grooves in between the dog holes for track clamps? Gives you other options for holding down your workpieces. Something similar to the new track clamp work bench Woodpecker came out with.
You could do that. Probably reduce the number of dog holes otherwise there won't be much actaul table top left lol
Have learned a lot from your videos and putting to good use. Nicely done. But how many of us has access to a CNC tool? Would a heavily waxed wood surface work against wood glue adherence? Thanks!
More and more people have CNCs these days! Regardless there are other ways to accomplish it. I've explained it already in other videos 😁
I have a similar top that has aneurisms wherever moisture got into the particle board below. Hope yours does not have the same malady.
I always see tops edge banded before formica and I think you did it right lol AFTER formica because it has thickness and that edge banding protects the formica from chipping up.
Good point!
Yes but also really difficult to make the edge banding 100% flush with the formica if applied afterwards. You can have it slightly proud and then trim rout it flush "from the side" but that's a delicate operation not routing into the laminate. Anyway, nice build.
The edge banding with the maple after applying the top is probably better. The maple takes the brunt of the damage from things banging into the side and prevents the Formica from getting those ugly chips.
Awesome video and table! I purchased the plans from your site and plan to build your table for my shop. Question, what millimeter settings do you use on your Festool to get the 3/4 insets for the aprons on the legs?
Don't remember exactly but what I did was measure my plywood in mm with a pair of digital calipers and then added half the thickness of my apron (1/2") which should get you around 30 or 31 mm. Variance in plywood thickness will be the determining factor
Thank you for the info and help! Do you remember what size and length dominoes you used?
This is great, and I plan to build this or something very close to it very soon. Thanks! One question though. I too like the idea of dogholes in the laminated top, however I do not have a CNC. What would you recommend as the cleanest way to bore these dogholes without getting tearout in the laminate?
There's a link in the description for a product called the parf guide system for creating mft style tops by hand (with a drill)
Reminds me of Jason’s (Bourbonmoth) outfeed. Nice
I'm about to do a similar top on some old kitchen lowers. I've never made a counter top. Do I need to account for any overhang?
Nice poject.
Tool envy. Have it, I do.
This is awesome! Do you have the cnc file available? Looking to machine something similar for my top!
I really like the workbench you built. So much so, I am looking at purchasing the plans. I do have one question though. How are you mitigating the dust, glue, and other debris that falls into the dog holes from getting into the drawers?
I dont do anything to mitigate it. I'f I'm doing a really messy glueup I have silicone mats that I put on the table. Every once in a while I vacuum out the upper drawer, maybe once every 6 months
Nice build. I can see several influences incorporated which is my favorite way to build anything. Are you still able to source BB? It’s getting really scarce in my area.
It's getting real hard to get actually BB. Shipments come in and are sold out asap. Have to get lucky and call ahead for information sometimes
Great job and a great video. I'm curious though...approximately how long did it take you to make this? Thanks!
Maybe 25 to 30 hours of work
Love it! Where are you getting your maple? I appreciate the plywood source from another video! 👍 -Your friend from MJ
Excellent video! One question please: at 3:28 you're using what looks like a black aluminum fence with some stops and dogs attached, which seems like a handy MFT accessary. What is it / where an I find one? I looked on your website list of all tools but didn't see it. Thanks!
That's a recent addition from Benchdogs UK
Can you give some detail on how you decide the drawer mount spacing? It looks like you are using a scrap piece of plywood to set the mounts locations??
I design everything in Fusion 360. Once I see where the drawers need to be o calculate the distance up from the base of the cabinet and use my scrap of plywood as a way to make sure the slides are the exact same height on both sides.
Yeah, I don’t have access to that program. Im building this table from your plans and dimensions are to your plan specs. Any chance you might remember placement heights to give me a place to start?
That formica is easier to leave long then cut with a flush trim router bit
Yeah that's what I usually do
At 7:37 I would have clamped the middle of one leg to the middle of the diagonally opposit leg. Clamping the top will only correct the top corners and the bench will have to be rolled over to do the bottom 4 corners. Cheers.
