- How to cut the wooden legs to lower my workbench. I cannot put the workbench shelf apart, so I use a circular saw jig to cut the wooden legs in the middle. Then I drill holes to glue some wood dowels to join both parts of the workbench.

Great idea, well done.
Fantastic idea, mate👍
Makes life so much easier having the two benches at the same height.
Nice use of home made jigs 👌
Genius methodology. Excellent.
Good job.
excellent tutorial... I look forward to your next video
Great ! ! !
I like your crosscut guide.
Thank you :) You can go to my channel to watch how I made it :D
This is crazy. Just cut the top or bottom of your legs - not the middle. Unscrew the top then cut the top of the legs, then screw the top back on. Or do the same thing from the bottom and adjust the shelf. I'm happy that you got your tables the same height- that's a good idea. But the rest of it is bananas.
Hi rob. A lot of people commented about this 😅. The thing is that the horizontal pieces (aprons?) are also glued to the legs, so I decided to cut the legs in the middle. Otherwise sure I would unscrew the the top or the bottom part. But anyway for me it was nice to see how precise can I be cutting the legs this way. The end result was much better than expected 😃.
nice solution
Good job
Kudos on such really great videos!
I especially like the fact that you give ALL the details of what you are doing! So many of the TH-cam videos give only a small amount of information and that leaves us dummies out in the dark!
I really like how you used the dowels! They can be VERY useful for many things and the fact that you left room for alignment shows the integrity and intelligence of what you did!
THANKS, AGAIN for all that you do for us novices to woodworking. I know that some of the pros will also, like you jigs and ideas!
Best wishes!
Thank you very much Kim. We all hate misaligned wooden joints :(. Drilling holes some wider than the dowels helps to get things aligned. Not the most perfect and professional job, but in this case it is good enough :D
Very nicely done! Those dowels were an excellent idea, nice work............ :)
Well thought out before the first cut. As in all your projects thank you for sharing sir.
Thank you :) and thanks for watching :)
Thanks
Did you do a video on making that saw guide slide?
It took courage to make those cuts bro, Felicitaciones
Fantastic video. I would have botched the dowels on an epic level. I probably wouldn't even have tried lol. Maybe make the cuts and skinned the legs together with plywood and glue on all for sides.
WOW well done with sorting out your work bench you did a fantastic job !!! I have subscribed to your channel
Thank you very much Joanna :D
👌👌👌
Very smart. You are good. Thanks for sharing your talents.
You had a perfect chance to make a table with adjustable height.
Yes :D but I wouldn't get such a sturdy and steady workbench :)
👍👍👍👌
I'd have probably used 4 smaller diameter dowels in each leg that I had the correct drill for. Because the dowels were so loose it would be better to use a glue designed for filling gaps and/or put screws perpendicular through the legs and dowels, effectively making cross dowels.
I don't like that glue that fills the gaps. The dowels are loose, but because I use a lot of glue they won't be loose inside the holes. And after the glue dried I can say I got very hard joints 😃
Those legs look like it could be removed easily. Wouldn't it be easy to just take them out and cut them to size? It would save you a lot of time n trouble . Plus it would be much more steady.
Actually all parts are glued, so I thought it would be easier to cut a portion in the middle instead of dismantling all the work table
The only remaining problem is keeping the work table clear so it can be used as an outfeed.
Yes :D I had to find a place for all the things I always put on the shelf and on the top :D
Very clever solution to your problem. Thanks for sharing.
Why not just cut the legs off?
Because I would have the shelf almost in the floor. And when I made the workbench I glued the strips that hold the shelf to the legs :(
@@WoodworkingwithDIYtools thanks you, just wondered.:)
Well the bottom shelf could of been moved up and just cut off what was not needed on the legs .
IIIZiPIII he mentioned above that the bottom shelf is glued to the legs

That would be easy. Very easily. Smart people do not look for easy ways to realize their dreams. ;-)
nah, exercise for crazy ppl
You could have put a line from corner to corner for center finding
Yes, but it is not very important to cut exactly the centre of the legs. The most important part is to cut exactly the same length in all the legs :)
Hi
I'm first!!! 😊😊😁
