In my tiny shop, space is of paramount importance. I was in need of creating a large table that could both be a good work surface as well as a table for a CNC machine. Above all, the table needed to have a slim profile and a small footprint. I ended up designing the perfect solution that meets all my requirements and more! This table has a flippable surface that allows you to configure each side to accommodate your shop needs. Furthermore, it can be stored in the vertical position giving the table a slim form factor and conserving a ton of space! Add in all the other features such as integrated storage, nesting collapsible legs, integrated power, and you’ve got a heck of a space saving assembly table on your hands!
FAQ:
Q: What CNC is that?
A: The CNC machine I have now is the OneFinity CNC Woodworker model.
Q: What's the surface area of the table?
A: 48" wide by 46 1/2" deep
"Draw me like one of your French Woodworkers" was all I could think when you did the first stability test of the table.
I love the dad jokes “Lay out the blueprints for bank robberies” The neighbor jokes too 😂😂
"All by myself!"
That was impressive.
Having been an editor for over sixteen years I am always amazed by the time and effort you and who ever does the editing takes to make your videos. Absolutely blown away with the amount of time it must take to edit your finished project. Outstanding!
Wow, thank you! I do it all myself with just one camera, lots of shots, and a whole lot of computer time. It's nice hearing this from someone that can appreciate it on that level and knows the amount of work it takes. Thanks!
I'm so glad to see that someone else forgets to put the cover over the wire end first before wiring up the new plug!!!! SO GLAD!
Every time
I don't know how many times I have done that.
I wondered if he forgot, and then was rewarded in the outtakes...
I laughed SO hard, at myself, for doing the same thing, so...many...times.
This!
LOOOOOVE the outtakes! They show that I'm not alone with "issues" 😂❤🧡👍😎😂❤🧡😁😷
The only people that don’t make mistakes are the ones that don’t DO anything!😁
+ one for the Outtakes. Which is one of the reasons I take SOOO Long when doing some things as I try to work out a lot in my head before I execute. And even then make mistakes as I try to get in a hurry. When fixing the Neutrik plugs to my tools, I too had a similar error in assembly.
How do you get the emojis in your post?? I don't even have the option.
Your incredibly awesome funny personality and comments makes your videos so enjoyable to watch. " I am glad I am NOT your neighbor". I would have no plywood walls or plumbing left in my house, garage and basement.
Glad you like them!
I believe I speak for everyone when I say that we need a breakdancing followup video.
I'd need paramedics on standby 😂
@@FishersShop On my way
YES!!!!
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
Um, yes. Need this.
I miss sharing your videos with my late fiance... She loved your "unnecessary walnut" additions... Thank you for another good memory.
Your outtakes make me feel so much better knowing that I’m not the only one who makes stupid mistakes and keeps everything so real. Thanks for another great walkthrough
You got it! Thanks, Keith
I love you humor and editing style. Too many videos spend 5 minutes showing the same step over and over, yet you make 5 seconds of screwing 8-10 screws sound like ducks quacking. Love the out takes too.
Haha yup
The internal dialogue in the outtakes makes us mere mortal woodworkers feel so much better about the screw-ups we often make. Much appreciated. My heart skipped a beat when that nice walnut cleat split. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve cursed at myself for a similar occurrence.
Haha, glad you liked it! Thanks
I don't have space for something like this, but I watched anyway because there's always so much to learn from your videos. Thanks!
until you watch the outtakes 😁😁😁
[READ ME FIRST!] Hey everyone! Hope you liked the video! Here's some answers to most of the questions I've been getting so far so please read through all of these first before to make sure it hasn't already been answered. The last thing you want to do is to look like a Tray Face and ask a question that's already been covered.
Q: What CNC is that?
A: It's the OneFinity CNC "Woodworker" model
Q: Can you run the CNC in the vertical or upside down position??
A: Not vertical for sure. The stepper motors aren't designed to fight against the weight of the gantry. Upside down could potentially work but would be near impossible to setup your job ahead of time in that position. Since you can't rotate the table 180-degrees without having to disconnect cables, it's not even worth trying.
Q: What's the overall size of the table surface?
A: 48 inches wide by 46 1/2 inches deep
Q: How tall is the table surface off the ground?
A: Depends if you use the same casters as I did. If you do, then it's 37 3/4" tall.
Q: Can I use it as an outfeed table?
A: Yes of course. See the previous question for the height of the table. If your saw is shorter than that, you'll have to shim it up to be level.
Q: Is it perfectly flat?
A: I tried to keep it perfectly flat but there's always going to be imperfections in glue-ups. If I need a perfectly flat surface for a large CNC operation, I can clamp on a temporary waste board and flatten it prior to carving the project.
Q: Looks like it wobbles. Won't that affect CNC performance?
A: In the shot where it looks like it was wobbling, most of that was because I didn't have the casters locked. But there's always going to be a little bit of a wobble since the table has wheels. No, it won't affect CNC operation because the gantry itself is screwed down to the surface.
Q: Where's the CNC controller??
A: It's internally wired and mounted inside of the top pull-out drawer. The spindle, the controller, and the touch-screen display are all internally wired to that single extension cord that comes out of the table making it super convenient for me.
Q: Where are the gantry-control cables?
A: They're coiled up inside the drawer connected to the controller. Whenever I want to use the CNC, I set up the table, open the drawer to access the controller, plug the gantry-control cables into the CNC and use the machine.
Q: How come you didn't internally wire the gantry control cables too?
A: There's just not enough room in the 3/4" Tee-connector. There's the extension cord, the controller power cable, and the power cord for the touch-screen display. There's just no room for 4 more cables. If I had made the axle with 1" pipe instead, then maybe I could have gotten away with it. But to be honest, this works just fine for me.
Q: What's that blue thing? I need a link for the leveling feet! What casters are those? How many sheets of plywood did it take? etc. etc. etc.
A: Everything is detailed out in the plans. ( www.fishersshoponline.com/plans )
Q: Can you really breakdance?
A: No...and thanks for making me feel bad about it, Big Drawer Face! I'm not crying, you're crying!
FYI, your url to the plans included the ")" at the end so it takes you to a 404 error.
@@tobiaswoodard9754 fixed. thanks
@fishershop Would you recommend the onefinity cnc? Wasn’t sure I could fit one into my shop until I watched your video
Flattening awasteboard with the CNC won't result in a flat wasteboard, unless the CNC is mounted on a flat table. But if the base table isn't flat, the CNC isn't flat... you can see where there's an issue.
I built this cart for an onefinity elite journeyman. Had to change the table top to 48 x 70.5, and had to raise the table a few inches because of it. I also used 1 inch black pipe for the axle and made the table 5 inches thick. The X50 rails and the extra Stiffy made this very heavy. 23 inch 100lb Arana Gas Struts/Springs were used counteract the weight. (100 lb was OK, more would have been better.) The Struts made it impossible to use the flipside of the table top. Another change was to shift the axle 5.5 inches to the rear of the table. This allows the CNC to sit further back when vertical (6.5 inches would have been better) which give better clearance going thru a narrow doorway. I also changed the leg configuration. At first, I used 3/8 inch carriage bolts and knobs for the legs. But the knobs would loosen and the legs would fall prematurely. Once the legs were down, the knobs did not do a great job of holding the legs in place. So... I replaced the carriage bolt and knob solution with some locking brackets and went from 4 legs down to 2. 4 legs was way too many.
Sounds like some great modifications
that is the coolest thing I have seen in a while, space saving to another level. I ruled out the possibility to ever have a CNC machine in my shop for 2 reasons cost and size, I would like a 4x4. This mobile table solves the size limitation now I just have to find out if there other CNC machines like this for lower cost. Thank u Fisher for giving me something new to dream about.
Glad you liked it!
I love that you put your outtakes and oh crap moments at the end! More people need to see that the struggle is real in woodworking lol
This has to be the funniest youtube channel ever, with all of the dad jokes. "Then, I played with the soft close feature for about 45 minutes" That what I do when ever I go to lowes or home depot.
Drew, if I wasn't Totally impressed with this project, the out takes made my day!!! Just to let you know, you're not the only one, I built a cabinet today, that fitted a series of drawers inside the cabinet that holds my metal lathe. Everything was coming together great until............. It seems I allowed for the 1/2" spacing on each side of the slides, and then allowed for the 1/2" spacing AGAIN for the slides. Imagine my delight when I went to install the first drawer.... only to discover a 1" gap!!!!!
Been there and done that many times! Haha. Thanks, Carl!
Great Plans. Ended up using 2x4 lumber for the table sides and legs so I didn't have to glue up plywood. After squaring up the edges of the 2x4, I got good crisp edges to glue my tabletops to. The legs also looked more solid.
Right on!
Thank you so much for this video. I've had a horrible day and really needed these laughs. I love all your videos and appreciate the outtakes. It's nice to know I'm not the only one that has stuff like that happen.
Glad I could help, Michael! :)
I love that your woodworking projects are either completely unique or a definite improvement on a older design (flip carts & inlay work).
Thanks so much!
I spent 13 mins of this 18 minute video not even realizing I was watching the wrong video. It's a credit to your work and commentary. Great work.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Best fold down table on u tube I've seen
I absolutely love your videos. The wood working is great and your comedic sense of humor and delivery are spot on!
This is giving me some serious ideas for maximising space in the shop, plus I have to say the main reason I love your videos is for the outtakes - nice little reminder that even the pros make mistakes and lose nuts during projects.
Glad to help!
Great design and execution
Glad you like it!
Love the humor!
That is a very elegant solution especially with the OneFinity CNC.
Your neighbor's former patio/garage/stairs/whateveritwasusedfor wood is making your shop look amazing. You should get him a 6 pack of PBR for his generosity. Make sure to drink 5 of them, you know, so he doesn't have to drink alone.
Man I'm about to get a CNC and I have a 2 car garage I work out of. Man this is prefect. thanks so much for this and the plans
Glad to help
love the bloopers....sweet design
“Or a lumber acquisition heist against your neighbor.” LOL. I laughed out loud so loud, it surprise me!
Your videos are truly the best narrated videos I’ve seen, as well as the projects! Great!
Thanks!
This is phenomenal
Glad you liked it!
Love your humor. Great design
Bullies on my playground called me "butt joint" 😁
Another brilliant project! Thanks for sharing and also for your keen sense of humor. I always learn something and get a good laugh at the same time!!!
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!
Your commentary is fricken great 😆 the project is as well!
Glad you enjoyed
I for one have taken great relief in the fact that your creative material aquisition skills haven't been diminished by the madness that so encompasses us. Take heart that you have saved your neighbor the grief of having to maintain all that plywood wall cladding. Kudos to you young man.
the parts i like best from all your videos , the things that happen to go wrong in a real world, unlike others that have everything that goes perfect through the magic of video. Thanks for the honesty in woodworking
Love the small and dual option surfaces! Great design.
Nice work, Tray Face.
Great Projekt and beautiful outtakes.
Seriously though, who would dislike this video? Another great video Drew!
NICE!! One suggestion: maybe consider a thin layer of shellac on the worksurface side...to keep it clean from any glue spills, etc. I am always impressed with your projects and how useful you make them! Blessings, Robert
Nicely built work surface. Awesome design. Got to build me one of these. 👍, you think your neighbour could lend me some of his new garage walls?? 😂😂😂
You are the best Fisher.
I hope your neighbour appreciates just how clever you are!
That came out great, your poor neighbors house must be down to the studs by now
I love your videos because your outtakes show how things really go. I think for beginner woodworkers, they assume that whoever is doing woodworking videos must be a master at what they do and the newbie could never be that good. Your outtakes show that ish happens and even you make mistakes but that is no reason to scrap the project, you fix the issues and move on. I really like your videos so keep making them and I'll keep watching them!
Thanks, Sue!
I have the same CNC coming at the end of May...I really like this idea for my space...might still be able to shoehorn one car in the garage in the winter.
Came for the unnecessary walnut......Stayed for the wicked assembly table. Well done!
amazing work! 👍
Thanks for the visit
Well done. This thing looks awesome.
Thanks!
Overly complex and stolen lumber. Perfect Fisher project. Seriously though, huge fan of all your projects but I really love your shop furniture. I hope there's more to make!
Thanks!
I'm only here for the BLOOPERS!!! ha ha ha ha ha I kid, I kid :)
This thing is awesome DREWWWWW!!!!!!!!
I like how comfortable Drew is messing with electricity. Like, this is a dude who knows how to do more than one thing.
I was standing in a bathtub of water while doing it too!
@@FishersShop😂😂
(me and you both know that you could have been wearing metal shoes and been outside in the rain also at the same time and it still would be safe since it wasn't plugged in)
Pretty fantastic work, Drew! It looks great! 😃
Question: have any of your neighbors ever watched one of your videos? 😂
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Hey thanks! And yes, they do... I don't think my stories will hold up in court.
@@FishersShop BTW, last year I bought your plans for the miter saw station, but I couldn't build it yet... There was no plywood in my city in December! Go figure. 😬
They told me it's going to arrive January 20. So... We'll see. 😊
Mind blown! I search for great shop ideas every day. This is the best one! I hereby declare you the TH-cam top project king!
Nice! What's the cash prize?
Your videos make me feel so at home whenever I see the outtakes and realize all of the “hidden” struggles you encounter, upon which you refer to yourself as an idiot! 😂 I have those exact same conversations with myself! LOL!
This was a great project! Thanks for sharing!
- Seth
You bet, Seth. Thanks for watching
He calls himself an "idiot", I call myself all the things you can't put on this family friendly channel.
Lol fisher freaking loves t track. I can think of one shop project that doesn't have it.
I bet his dining room table has t-track installed. The top of his bedroom dresser, the bathroom vanity, the kitchen counters...
What a great video, humor, knowledge, reality. What else do you need?!
Chips.
FANTASTIC!!!!!
I like your clamps, they have such a nice sound! My own sounds so boring, not poppin!
Hey drew just wanted to say that you’re an amazing created and to keep up the good work.
Thanks. :)
Your narration is, without doubt, brilliantly funny but I think the most hilarious thing is how you call your workshop ‘tiny’. I have a narrow, single-car garage and regularly cry at having to take everything outside to work on things !
Love the sarcasm dont stop making videos fisher you are fun to watch
Thanks!
The hiccups had me bark out a laugh that made my cat flee!
Man, seeing that walnut split hurt, especially after it has been sanded and finished!
Every bone in my body ached
Walnut Hall of Shame.
CA Glue to the rescue but yah, I actually felt bad when I saw that happen, not a laughing moment for sure.
I really shouldn't comment since I am still restricted to pine.
Side note: using pan head screws greatly lessens the likelihood of splitting as compared to the tapered countersunk screws. Can always counterbore them slightly if you want them to be flush with surface.
Brilliant idea. Thank you
Glad you like it!
Let start with your great humor. I was watching this when I was laying down with pain, and this kind of videos make it much easier. And you have a lot of practical ideas.
Hey thanks! Glad you like it
Seems like it could benefit from an attached bubble level.
Does Rockler make a bubble level with T- track clamp?
You should have your famous neighbor on a video one day. :)
The neighbor probably looks like Tim's neighbor, Wilson.
Yep, I'd bet dollars against donuts that the neighbor looks just like Wilson... :)
Yeah well it's like this...I'm afraid the neighbors keep moving on...don't stick around long for some reason.
I hope to one day make things, so your vids & plans are great - but they're also really inventive... AND you're funny. Thanks!
Glad you like them!
really useful for my tiny workshop!!
Glad I could help!
Man, your neighbor must be either the luckiest or the unluckiest guy in the world.
I realize the table passed the bucket of lard test, but when you fold the legs down, does the radius of swing prohibit the leveling foot from fully contacting the floor and keep the leg from becoming perpendicular, thus allowing the table surface to rock back & forth just a bit when all 4 legs are deployed? Do you have to lift the whole assembly up just a bit to fully deploy the last legs? Is the shimmy in the table you demonstrated in the clamp hold down test acceptable to you for the CNC routing?
The leveling feet touch the floor for all four legs snugly. So yes, you have to almost lift up on the table to get the last 2 feet deployed perpendicular. The table shook in that shot mainly because I didn't have the casters locked. But yes, the wobble is fine. It won't affect the performance of the machine at all
That is an awesome idea.
Awesome table!
Thanks!
Oh man, forgetting to put something on and then having to take it all back apart is totally something I would do. Argh! I gasped when the walnut cord clip broke. 😩
"so I decided to keep things simple" who are you and what have you done with Drew?
Brilliant!
Thanks
Wow! Now I can finally get a CNC machine! Space is always an issue - BTW, when you feel hiccups coming on: stop what you are doing, stand/sit up straight, DON’T talk! You will feel a bubble come up in a minute or so and problem solved! BTW, if you made the table the same height as your table saw it could be used as an outfeed table!
That unnecessary walnut is very much necessary 👍🏼
your neighbor called me wanted to know if I had seen the plywood in his basement...
He's got more in his basement? Nice!
Drew.... I was at Grizzly last Spring and took a walk through their dint and ding room. Stuck behind an open arm drum sander that I was casting covetous eyes upon, was an assembly tabletop complete with T-tracks installed. It was marked down to $30 because of a small scuff on the edge. Well I jumped on it like a fat man on fresh cookies. (The open end drum sander... I had made a mistake and brought along my spousal unit... so, I assume some lone dude ended up with it.)
Since I picked it up, the table top it has sat proudly on a pair of sawhorses in the middle of my shop floor. The countless steps I’ve taken to get around it have convinced me that I needed to build a mobile base. I had already drawn up plans for one... but, I was hesitant because once I built it... there would be no place to roll it.
Then today... Voila! Fold it up stupid... you’ll be able to thread it through all of the beloved ephemera necessary to a woodworking shop!
Thanks buddy... I’ll be forever grateful to you for showing me the light! Now... if I can just get my contractor neighbor to leave his shop unlocked....
If you’re interested... you can steal a few ideas from me at:
Http://www.harrislandd.com
There ya go! That sounds like a great deal for just $30 too!
Bravo!
forgetting the power cover when wiring....SO many times.
Plot twist: his neighbor is the one writing all the jokes.
Plot twist: the narrater is the neighbor & he’s just reading out what he’s told to say & learning about it at the same time.
Nice Job! I'm looking to build a cnc table and this seems like a great idea. we are all in need of a little space savings. thanks for the ideas.
Glad it was helpful!
really like the design!! when i add permanent cords to stuff it usually cut the receptacle end and put a receptacle box on the end so i have multiple plug ins..
Too long between videos. Had to watch sub-par videos while waiting for yours.
Haha, thanks Jared
I love this! All of it, the design, build, commentary, outtakes, it was fun to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You are such a hoot, I love watching you knowing I'm not alone talking to myself
Great job Drew. You crack me up man.
I try
Excellent
Great build Drew !! Can't wait to see how you like the cnc. Anybody that's ever fixed an extension cord has done the , I forget to slide this on first ......😂😂😂.👍👍
Thanks Mike! Yeah I'm excited to put it to use
Fantastic!
Great idea, I'm thinking of modifying it to be my picture matting station. I can keep the cutters, tools and materials assembled and in one place. LOVE the humor.
That's a great idea!
