You will absolutely love the saw, I would say it’s the most used machine in my workshop, thanks for watching and enjoy your new birthday present 👍🏼

@@franklettering thanks for your comments, I used to have another one that was on a much lighter frame and the saw never felt solid in it. You’d get vibration and movement and the top would flex, so this time I wasn’t taking any chances I wanted something that felt nice and solid and flat, plus I had lots of 4x4 off cuts I needed to use. thanks for watching 👍🏼

Thanks for watching 😊

@@TheMurphy1982 thank you, I used it only today to cut down some 4x4 Yew for my latest project

@@MarkNopeJustMark thanks Mark. That’s a really good point actually, I must be honest a couple of people have pointed this out to me in some of my other videos and I have stopped doing it now, I fancy a full size planner/thicknesser now, but not sure I can justify it as a hobbyist thanks for watching 👍🏼

@@Terrythemaker no worries - I figured now it's bolted to the table that it wont be lifted often, but I thought I'd say on the off chance it'd save you an injury or would help the longevity if the tool 😄 RE a planer/thicknesser, it's hard to beat a tool that does both! I'm fortunate enough to have the separate Triton Planer and Thicknesser units and I'm in the same boat that you are - as a hobbyist it's difficult to justify buying a bigger, more commercial unit, no matter how much fun it would be!

Hi Calvin, I’m afraid it’s not my design. I just found it on the net and copied it onto a piece of paper. Just type in free templates and loads come up 👍🏼

Hi,thank you for your comments. I don’t think there is anything to protect the grey surface. In fact mine is now quite scratched after lots of use.

@@Terrythemaker I ask you for advice. When checking my 7492 (purchased a few days ago) I detected a difference in level on the work surface (basically by placing the level or a precision square used for mechanics and pressing with one finger on the end of it, with the other finger pushing on the opposite side I have the "Telegraph" effect - that is, I see that it "taps" on the bench and you notice a difference in level of about 1.5 mm over a distance of 15 cm!) What do you advise me to do? Should I ask for a return? Should I return everything and exchange it for another? .... 😭😵‍💫

Hi That's a tough one because I had a similar problem when I bought mine, when I called the store they said don’t worry we will send you a new one, which they did, the customer service from DEWALT was excellent. But I’ve since noticed lots are like it in this price bracket. Only really expensive table saws with solid cast tops will be 100% flat. I know that’s probably not much help.

@@Terrythemaker Thanks for your guidance. I will contact the seller today to arrange a return.

Correct, well spotted, 😂. I’ve since re made the back fence in another video as it was also too low for larger cuts, thanks for watching 👍🏼

@@lloydmelsome-smith6629 that’s a very good point, I may look at that when I add to it 👍🏼

So am I, I’m not sure what I was thinking when I bought it 😂

Hi Paul, assuming you mean the large 4 ft square, its from B&Q, it’s MAC Allister brand, Thanks for watching, Terry 👍🏼

@@Terrythemaker Thanks very much Terry, yes that's the one :o) .Have really enjoyed your videos, very informative and enjoyable, keep up the good work!

ps theres new evolution tracks which have got excellent reviews on youtube and are relatively cheap

Hi Chris, I’m using 18 mm ply from Wickes, I found it be the best for value for money. Thanks for watching

@@Terrythemaker Is it just their hardwood ply ~£40 a sheet? It looks decent enough if so. Thanks for responding, been reluctant to just order some not knowing how decent it is (or isn’t)

I think so I bought it ages ago, but I must admit I always go in store and pick the boards I want , as I once ordered some OSB and had it delivered, and I rejected it due to badly chipped edges and sides. I’ve only ever bought the ply in 600x1200 sheets which fits in the car.

@@SteveP59 thanks Steve 👍🏼

Thank you 👍🏼

@@petersaint656 thanks Peter 👍🏼

Wow! , 3 walls of cleats, I bet that looks good, I’m not sure I know what you mean about adding a cleat to the shelf ?

@@shaun30-3-mg9zs thanks Shaun, I’ve got plenty of sockets, 12 double to be precise 😂 but the one on the ceiling is smack bang in the middle and I thought it would come in handy but it means the lead gets in the way, although it’s perfect for the ceiling mounted air filter, I will just plug the saw into the wall the future just like I did in the rest of the video, thanks again for watching. 😊

@@300Exige 🤣 yes I ruin jumpers all the time with glue, paint or mastic, but that’s an old jumper that’s seen better days.

@@StrawbyteWorkshop thank you

@@graham8854 thanks Graham, I do watch Peter’s videos, very good channel 👍🏼

@@graham8854 I also meant to say, I really do fancy the festool Track Saw, but I do struggle with festool prices and trying to justify them, especially to the wife 😂

Thanks 👍🏼

So true, I didn’t really think about that, but that is such a good point you make, it would’ve been horrible having that old bulky door hanging from the ceiling now the workshop is all finished

Hi Andy, that’s very nice of you to say and yes, thank you very much my wrist has now fully healed. More content to follow soon 👍🏼

@@rodharris2915 thank you 👍🏼

@@300Exige thank you that’s really kind 👍🏼

@@Terrythemaker Which part of the country do you live in ? Are you / were you a trade person of some sort ? Your attention to detail and knowledge is absolutely tremendous !!

@@300Exige i’m afraid I’m an Essex boy 😂 I am totally self taught and not in the industry at all. It’s all started as an hobby, mainly woodturning, but I am very fastidious with everything I do. I like things to be as near to perfect as possible. My dad and his brothers were all in the construction industry and I’ve just picked up tips from them over the years.

@@Terrythemaker Good for you you are self taught 👍🏻 I’m a few years behind (woodworking journey not age 😉) and trying to get some skills slowly. YT has been a great help. Being stuck at home during the start of Covid got me started making a few things. Sadly, I haven’t got a permanent workshop so all my big tools are on wheels, which is great in good weather but the last couple of weeks have been decidedly dodgy. I have a couple of outbuildings but none big enough to set out a permanent workshop. I can only dream of one like yours.

Hi Peter, thanks for watching the videos. I appreciate it. I went for the DeWalt. DEWALT DW088CG 2-Way Self Levelling Cross Line Green Beam Laser from Amazon

@@Terrythemaker Thanks Terry.

@@petersaint656 Peter, have you watched part 4 yet? It’s really starting to take shape now. Good luck with your project👍🏼

@@Terrythemaker Yep, I binge watched them all yesterday! Really impressive. I’m currently just getting over the current cost of timber before ordering!

Thanks Rob👍🏼 it’s never ending mate, my wife has a list of jobs as long as your arm 😂

Thanks, Brian. That’s really kind of you to say.😊

@@davidtyers4903 Do you remember what make it was and do you have a link to where you bought it from, please?

@@davidtyers4903 that’s what I’m thinking David, what about the weight of my benches on wheels? Will they rip it up when I move them around

@@colingoode3702 Hi Colin thanks for watching. You’ll be surprised what you can do in a single garage. Do you ever watch Sam from monkeyboysworkshop ? He works out of a single car garage and he’s set up is amazing

@@Terrythemaker Thanks I'll check him out. Mine's an attached single garage with a room over the top & the problem is with full length/ height racking on one side, benches down the other, 5 bikes, beer fridge, mower / garden tools, power / hand tools, fishing gear, solar inverter / batteries & overhead racking for timber & longer items, there's only just enough space to walk down the middle. I do have a lot of stuff in it & sadly no room for the classic car I would love to own. Even when it was empty when we first moved in I could only just get a small car in it but couldn't open a door wide enough to get out! I really don't know why house builders still bother including these undersized garages. Most people round my way have converted them into extra living space. Not an option for me as I don't have anywhere else to put all I've got in it now. Only option would be move 🏠. 🤔

@@colingoode3702 or a big shed 😂. That sounds like a proper man cave you have there Colin 👍🏼

Thank you 👍🏼

Thanks Shaun, yes I’m really pleased with it how it’s come out, I’m not sure about the he electrics I just left it to the electrician, I seem to think he said it’s a ring with 3 radials. But I told him what I wanted and left it to him. He’s a great electrician and been doing a long while.

@@Terrythemaker You got a good set up in your workshop, it's going to work well for you

Hi, thank you so much for watching I’m glad you enjoyed it, 👍🏼

Thank you for watching, I too watched your videos when you first started boarding out your garage and enjoyed the detail. It’s great to get ideas from each other. 😊

@@Terrythemaker I'm glad you enjoyed those videos - at the time there was very little on YT covering that sort of work and what there was didn't really answer any of the questions I had and hence the detail I covered in the video. You might be interested to know that I messed up the insulation of the roof-space and that video was really poor advice for anyone trying to tackle something similar. It's been 5 years this month since I insulated the space and boarded it - but it's taken all 5 years to progressively re-do the insulation. Finished this weekend.

@@StrawbyteWorkshop oh wow 😮 I must admit I didn’t insulate my roof, I probably will have to at a later date, i was advised not to bother by an architect. He said allow some air flow. Who’s right who’s wrong?😂

@@Terrythemakerhe’s not wrong airflow is critical and that was the thing I didn’t get right. Plus, in hindsight I should have put a ceiling in across all the trusses which would have allowed insulation above that and achieve a cold roof. The important thing for me is ensuring the space is easy to heat in the winter and cool in the summer. Have you thought about putting down a floor in the concrete?

@StrawbyteWorkshop i’ve been giving a lot of thought about what to do with the floor. I was considering putting down this heavy duty rubber matting that locks in position, but the weight of my benches on wheels will just squash it. I’m not sure I can spend more money without getting into trouble with the wife, so I may have to give it a coat of heavy duty paint again for now. I will keep you updated with what I decide to do.👍🏼
