This is one of the smartest practical shop ideas I've seen. I'm disabled with cancer but play in the shop still. This will make things so much easier on me. Thank you.
Hey David. Sorry to hear about your health issue. Playing is important and handling large pieces of plywood is a pain. I used to cut panels on my cabinet saw but that required two people (one to guide and one to push). This works great and takes virtually no shop space. Someone suggested using an electric hoist (reasonably priced at Harbor Fright) which I think is an excellent idea. Glad I could share. best . . . paul
@@paulsDIYsolutions what I was thinking about is the shocks off of a minivan hatch back. If I can figure out where to position them. I've got 4 old ones that are still good
Hey Benny. I just got tired of cutting plywood on my layout table and needed two people to do it on my table saw. This worked well and took virtually no floor space in my little shop. best . . . paul
I wish this guy had more videos he has some of the best advice ive seen on TH-cam. Plus ive never seen a channle so small, only 12 videos, with over 2 million total views. Paul take this as a sign to make more videos sharing your experience. I sure you would end up making some money to help fund your love for wood working to.
Paul you do a such good job you teach me so much and inspire me to accomplish things and you have taught me so much never stop doing what you love thank. You can’t wait till a new video.
Paul, Thank you for sharing your panel saw design. I'm enjoying watching your videos. Keep them coming. I appreciate the information that you share. Mike
Very nice System Paul having one is very convenient whenever they are warranted especially with a router attachment but because of the overall size they can be in the way in a small shop I liked the hinge system you came up with using the usual wasted space over the garage door
Mr. Paul, it’s been some time since you posted a video. I hope all is well, your videos and experience have provided a lot of value to me and I’d love to see more in the future! Thank you.
Hey Joenalaska. All is well, thanx for the concern. Just laziness on my part. I love being in the shop but hate camera set up and editing. I have been teaching my grandson (the welder) some wood working stuff. He's really good. I have a couple I need to make before I get too old and senile. best . . . paul
Het Shofar. I know there are things I would add. I did add an electric winch to raise and lower. Manual was fine in my younger days but $50 and a Harbor Freight Winch makes the process lot easier now a days. Keep thinking though I'll bet there's a lot of add-ons!! best . . . paul
Thats a great idea! Thanks for sharing it. It actually gave me something to work toward in my small shop. Wonder if you could modify the hinge system to incorporate a spring like the coiled style garage door springs. Then it would make the hoisting and latching part easier as the whole thing would be neutral in weight.
Alternatively cords could be run from the bottom edge (when deployed) of the frame over pulleys to the side of the garage and sash weights tied on as a counterbalance. If the weights were housed in piping they would not foul on other items or be a hazard.
Paul great video, great concept. One suggestion i would like to mmm make is using a hoist pulley system it will make it a lot easier to begin back up .You have a great idea!
Hey John. Yeah I agree. Some sort of assist device would be better. I checked into it and Harbor Freight sells an electric winch for like $60 bucks. Thanx for the feedback. best . . . paul
Hey Daniel. I'd have to re-watch to see what shoes I wore (vast selection). The panel cutter is a real space saver in my shop. I've since added an electric hoist from Harbor Frieght. Works great!! best . . . paul
I really like this idea Paul, like you I have very little space to work in, and mounting a panel saw permanently is just not an option, this idea could work for me, although I also have limited headroom, and to save weight I will most likely make mine out of square section aluminium rather than wood
Hey Birdman. I have a dedicated circular saw and a router that stows along with the foldup. Really has conserved a lot of room in my small shop. Everything else is on wheels!. best . . . paul
Thanx John. It really comes in handy for large panel cutting. Then it's out of sight and out of the way when done. Thank you for the feedback. best . . . paul
Nice video. I have a question and a comment. The question is how to you square up your cuts? Tape measure at both ends? My comment is that I think I'm going to build the grid part but not hang it from the ceiling. All of my sheet goods are leaning against one wall of my garage so I will just lean it against that same wall. When I need to use it, I'll pull it out maybe just lay it across a few saw horses.
Hey onoahimahi. Factory edge is straight I just tape off that and check with carpenters square. I do corner to corner tape measure for squaring cabinets while clamping. If you have the room its nice. I don't use it enough to sacrifice the space in my 2 car garage. best . . . paul
Thanx Elija. It really saves a lot of space. I would do this even if I had the luxury of a large shop. PS. I have since added an electric winch from Harbor Freight!! Amazing. Happy Holidays . . . paul
Hi Pluk. I build a lot of cabinetry. Panel cutters are a God send but take up a lot of room in a small shop. This makes handling plywood a snap and stows easily. Thanx for your feedback. best . . . paul
Thanx Alva. It does save space in a small shop. Please mention the GENIUS part to my wife. She might have a serious argument with you!! Happy Holidays . . . paul
Hey David. It'll save a lot of effort. I recently picked up an electric winch from Harbor Freight ($79). Works great for raising and lowering. best . . . paul
Paul, great design. I have limited space like you and have been looking for at all the panel saw designs. So far you are in top5. Couple of questions, 1. would you use this more then a table saw. 2 what sort of accuracy are you getting. To me a panel saw is better and safer then a table saw especially when cutting large boards and being able to use a router is a real benefit. Do you sell the plans? Thank you for your great video
Hey B. Short answer: I think you need both. I use both my cabinet saw and the panel saw. I only use the panel saw to get large sheets down to manageable sizes so I'd have to say I use my cabinet saw much more frequently. It's much more accurate than cutting off saw horses, on my layout table or trying to manage on the table saw. I do not sell plans. I think I got the frame design from Woodsmith Magazine (not sure probably 15 years ago) and the hinge idea was mine. Pretty simple black pipe hinges. Fun project that you'll be grateful for every time you hall in a 4X8!!! best . . . paul
Hey Phillip. Actually a thoughtful question. The truth is you don't. You set your blade to cut deep enough to cut through the panel and a little into the cross member. It would take a heck of a lot of cuts at different dimensions to alter the framing. best . . .paul
To keep costs in line I would use pine. For years I pulled it by hand (built in 2003). I recently bought an electric hoist at Harbor Freight ($70) and life got better!!!
Hey Anya. Yeah I know right? They're in my head, locked away in a tight vault that even I can't get at!! I keep saying I'll have more time in the spring, or fall or winter. I promise I'll do one now that you asked.
Hey Richard. Good idea. Not sure how much it would cost but I bought a similar setup at Harbor Freight a few years ago for a different project. Didn't think it was all that expensive. Thanx for sharing. best . . . paul
@@paulsDIYsolutions u bet. I actually use 1 to hoist deer that I harvest and it works great. And I got it from harbor freight. I dont remember paying much more than 25 or 30 bucks at the most. Glad I could help. Post it when ta get it done.

That is clever and simplicity all in one. That'll never work, you didn't use any of those small roller bearings. Like, about 24 of them. Then there is the lack of tracks, metal conduit, special machined holders for the bearings etc. etc. Oh, dang, you just proved that you don't need all that stuff, great job.

The shims inserted as you cut is a useful idea.

You can also clamp in two spots to the 2x4s behind at the top.

Time to repurpose a small winch for power lifting. Like on an ATV. Or boat trailer. 😀
Yea. I've actually done it and it works great!! Gettin too old to keep hoistin!!
@@paulsDIYsolutions 🤣
Is there a way to keep from cutting into the frame?
Hey Total. No but it a few shallow frame cuts won't hurt it. best . . . paul
Novice question, when making cuts, how do you keep from cutting the cross braces of the panel saw?
Hey Phillip. Actually a thoughtful question. The truth is you don't. You set your blade to cut deep enough to cut through the panel and a little into the cross member. It would take a heck of a lot of cuts at different dimensions to alter the framing. best . . .paul

@@paulsDIYsolutions is it heavy when you pull it up and have made any improvements to it? What type of wood do you recommend?
