Funny you say that, I did end making a jig for that once I got enough orders to justify it.

Thanks brother! I hope you’re doing well!

@@scotchinhandmillwork I am fine but wife not so good and as a result had any time to work and record on any new content for a long time. Not motivated right now….

@@LonghornWorkshop Im really sorry to hear that! I miss seeing your stuff pop up on my feed. I hope she is feeling better, my thoughts are with you guys.

I have since gone bigger and have an industrial dust collection fan for my whole shop. But yes you don’t need any additional vacuum for it. It’s got a very powerful fan to blow chips out and really all you need is a bag or barrel to collect them.

I appreciate the support 👍. The unistrut has to be checked for straightness but generally the new ones I’ve found have all been straight making it a good cheap reference.

thank you so much for the kind words!

I appreciate you watching and giving me feedback

yeah lol.... who knew I'd commit such an egregious sin

I appreciate you watching and taking time to comment your thoughts. I should probably make an updated video one of these days. I had to chop it up and repurpose it due to constantly moving my shop lol

Hey if the shoe fits... thanks for watching!

Hey I appreciate the feedback... i prefer the tenon joints it's so much cleaner and much better aesthetically in my opion. Really no down side other than it adds time to the project, but if you're spending the time to make it, might as well do it the greatest detail possible. I am currently using it as a mobile work top and outfeed table for my tablesaw. I do have plans to build a bigger one...

Yes I just used a phillips head screw and drove it in so it was a tiny bit counter sunk. Pine is super soft and its quite easy to do this. On something harder like oak or maple, I would use an actual countersink drill bit to pre-drill and prevent cracking.

Hey I appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching. That's a good idea and a great recommendation.

No problem, glad you enjoyed it!

Amazing, I am so glad I was able to inspire you. I am planning to make an updated video as I have tweaked the dimensions slighly, but mostly for shipping purposes...

Im glad it was helpful, I will keep this in mind for future videos. Jointing is one, if not the most critical wood working skill to master and there are so many different ways to accomplish it. Thank you for the support!

You hit the nail on the head with your comments. I appreciate the feedback as well. Table saws can certainly be intimidating but there are always work arounds if the desire to do exists. A track saw, planer and jointer and you can easily get tight even joints on all of your projects. Thank you for the support!

I try to be as quick and easy as possible... ask my fiance! haha sorry bad joke but I couldnt resist. Thank you for watching and I appreciate the support!

Cheers! Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words.

Oooh thats a really great future video idea

The theory here is that this will never settle, warp, or change on you. Once it is flat, it will last forever... assuming you dont glue on it or ruin the top somehow. But that is why hardboard was invented! Thank you for watching!

@@scotchinhandmillwork Thanks for the reply!

What a coincidence, cringe is my middle name

Yes my 2' level is not sufficient to confidently ascertain how out of plane it was but in the case of producing a video sometimes you have to use what you have on hand to make your point. Next time I'll make sure to use my 8' long straight edge. Thanks for watching

Hey good luck, hopefully you can avoid the mistakes I made. I will stick to traditional wood from now out haha

Lol good point, I guess I'm aging myself with that comment

Sorry this is late, but I used 1-1/4" nails. Make sure to set your compressor regulator pressure and do some tests to see how deep your sinking the heads. Thanks for watching!

You should go for it. The people at Home Depot or somewhere else might cut them for you? Not all stores are created equal even in a huge corporation

Haha yeah. Big learning lesson on this one!

Thanks! I love making these…super fun

Thanks! So many options to personalize them too

Sorry! I dropped the ball on the plans for this one. I am planning to make an upgraded version in the coming weeks. I will make sure to have plans available this time if you are still interested.

Yes I do unfortunately. But it isn’t too bad as long as i apply downward pressure on the in-feed and out-feed.

No problem! Glad I could help

That’s a good idea, I’ll try it on the next experimental board

For the pre stain I just use a mix from min wax or varathane for example. You can also make your own if you want to get creative. But make sure to match up whatever you use with the type of stain (water based or oil based).

@@scotchinhandmillwork so a mix of finish product with stain color (same base) This seals and second coat of stain is a more consistent color on pine ? Second coat will adhere over first coat of 50% finish product?

I would do a light coat of pre stain. Let that dry. Then apply your preferred stain. It can be an all in one stain (stain + poly) or you can apply the stain first. Once dried then apply polyurethane. Always follow manufacturer recommendations at first until you get the feel for it. And always test on scrap pieces before doing anything on the finished work piece.

Thanks for watching

Yes the top slats are just for show to keep everything as symmetrical as possible. Thanks for watching. I’m planning to make an update video in the near future as I have modified the design a bit 👍

Thanks brother!

No problem. Glad you enjoyed it! I’m toying with some other designs that I’ll try out in the coming weeks 👍

😉

Thank you so much for the support!

I appreciate the kind words. I actually did just make one for a customer, she wanted it to look exactly like the one in the video though haha. Next one I’ll do some crazy color schemes for sure! 👍

@@scotchinhandmillwork I just ordered a resin kit with a bunch of color powders. Bought some walnut wood too. I only have a hand saw and hand sander but I’ll make it work. Send ya pics when im done. Hope you’re in a better place these days brotha. Happy Holidays to you and yours

That’s great! For sure send some pics my way I’d love to see 👍

Thanks brother! You should definitely try it out, nothing more rewarding than building something with your own hands 👍. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

The nice thing about this method is that the table saw is not all that necessary. Get it reasonably square by any tool that you have and I think that the epoxy will hide most, if not all, of the imperfections. Go for it!

Yes it is definitely easier and much more builder friendly construction design. Plus without a CNC or taking weeks to hand plane and perfect each square! Thank you for watching

@@scotchinhandmillwork on a side note, you mentioned in a different video that you were going through some right times. Keep your head up and keep doing your thing brotha

So I made a few mistakes with this table. It actually ended up cupping severely down the middle and I had to take it back from the customer. Part of the main reason this happened, in my opinion, is that I waited too long to fix it to the base and the base wasn’t sturdy enough at the attachment point. Next time I would add some c channels underneath (hidden of course), or some beefy boards with a skirt around it (some people call it an apron too). Hopefully my long winded response makes sense 😂 **ignore this comment haha. Thought I was replying to a comment on a different video!**

Looking back I realized this comment doesn’t pertain to this video haha! The TH-cam app isn’t super clear when it comes to responding to video comments. Sorry for that confusion. As for attaching this to a base you can do almost any setup imaginable. Mobile, fixed, storage underneath, whatever 🤷‍♂️

The screws to hang it on the wall or the screws for the hooks?

Haha yeah it is kind sexy I’ll admit. But honestly I’ve heard great things about the makita and it’s 30-40% cheaper. I only chose the festool because my dust extractor… which THAT thing is worth every penny, if you ever need a good one.

They are manufactured pretty high quality. I’d be surprised if they weren’t. But it’s not a bad idea to check it out though! I’d use a long level or something known to be dead straight to test it out.
