I think your videos leave all the other woodworkers in the dust. Yours are professional, terse, and "to the point". I have built many shop machines myself over the years and it is really nice to see others do it - and with better ideas.
MATHIAS, YOU SURPASSED OTHER PROJECTS THIS LINE, THAN ALREADY SAW IN TH-cam, I CAN'T WAIT FOR PART 2. THANK YOU. INNOVATE YOU OLD IDEAS, I'M WATCHING FROM BRAZIL.
Excellent design and nicely built. Will give many years of service. Fascinating watching you design it on the hoof and put it together. I love the way that it is all made of wood. Won't vibrate like a lot of today's machines built from thin plate and is far more sturdy. Ignore the silly comments below. These people probably aren't capable of putting something together like this, and will just go out and pay hundreds of dollars for a shop bought piece of tin-rubbish which will rattle apart after a few years use. Designing and building your own tools and machines is far more satisfying, and once built that can be modified and refined.
This one is very good project for the professional woodworker in developing countries who don't have much money to spend on Table saw.A very Neat project.can't wait to see part 2
My uncle did this using a workmate. It was very compact and portable and worked great for when he needed shop tools in the field. Great for ripping 2x4's when doing outside contract jobs. Thanks for the videos.
Amazing! There are quite a few tutorials on how to make a table saw out of a circular saw but you took it to a whole new level! Can't wait for part 2. Thank you
I'am following you Mathias from woodgears.ca for more then a year. I was expecting you to make this work but you did not up to now. Meanwhile, i kept looking for home made table saws with circular hand saw for more than 2 months. I've watched many videos. You always have brillieant ideas and practical solutions Mathias. Great work again.
Totally dig those long reach "c" clamps! Following you on your work for a while rather silently, but I like the way you work over all...we're all different...moot point, but I like your style, and wish I had half of your experience with wood, not to mention the mathematical knowledge....this is why I appreciate you more! You are easy to understand and don't come off as "highbrow"...non engineers can grasp, without feeling less than human.
Brilliant. Watched it several times to make sure I got all the details correct. I have also built a table saw out of my circular saw and it works like a charm for the smaller projects. I will be improving my design using some of the information I've gleaned form here. Thanks for super ideas and superb workmanship.
Hey hats off to your workmanship. Nice technique. Put a foot switch into the mix for safety and I can't see why anyone could argue with that being a safe tool. Chainsaw dovetails is another beautiful video.
Very good and nice invention, I like it, Although I am not a professional woodworker but I am very fond of woodworking and want to make something, Thank you for providing me the best knowledge and video, Zafar from Quetta Pakistan
Genius at work, I needed to pay attention when I went to trade school in the old Europe! Long a go. You are the man.....Thank You for the instructions this old emigrant can fallow! One of many on the YOU TUBE! Thank You AMERICA!
this is awesome. i was thinking just the other day of how to go about doing this. When you're short on space and funds every tool needs to be multifunctional. can't wait for part 2
Can't wait to see how you build your fence. I bolt my Porter Cable saw to the bottom of 1/2" Birch and lay across saw horses. I have problem with blade deflection and then binding. Haven't come up with a sturdy fence yet.
Ive been putting off doing this for a while . Just seemed so dangerous and really worth the potential saving. After seeing your unique version . I may have to give it a whirl
This will come in very handy for anyone who wishes to build MY NICE EV as the timber will be laminated for strength. Your band saw too is an amazing project like this one. Thank you very much. Just keep them coming.
Your builds are always so well thought out and your solutions are sensible. I am attempting to remake a small Craftsman Table saw with an improved top and fence system. It's different in that the 45* swing mechanism is to the side and above where the platen would be on a circle saw. It hangs from the underside of the top. Making a new top will be a challenge.
Hi Matthias, can see great applications for this device. I know Festool has made something similar for their circular saws to be mounted to a table and taken to a work site as a mobile tablesaw. Good work and looking forward to part B!!
Great video's Matthias,I am a 62 year old newbie to woodworking and have found your videos on making the table saw fantastic. I have spent countless hours in my workshop building this and sure you can go to the hardware and buy a $200 table saw , but the satisfaction and enjoyment building your own outweighs buying a piece of cheap Chinese made crap. Keep up the good work mate.
I used to use a circular saw like this in my company. I used a good-one, but had to to replace the saw every six month, until eventually every 2 month. Due to warn out the gears... So I had to buy a real sliding table table saw. But the concept is brilliant!
I've been waiting for this! Your builds on workshop tools are some of the finest, and they are expained in great detail. I can't wait for part 2 of this saw. Thank you!
You make it look just so easy and there's where the inspiration kicks in with this video, so I have a 8" 1/4 blade Dewalt circular saw that shoul give an extra blade height and power as well, thanks again!!
hello, thank you for this product , I like because it's very good and easy to make, I'm a Vietnamese , and I live in Vietnam , I watched a lot of clips of you , I love like your job , you do not need one maid , just let me eat, I will work for you from 3 to 5 years .
hola amigo hace bastante tiempo que veo tus vídeos y te felicito ahora pude leer en castellano tus explicaciones ahora si te entiendo mejor me gustaría que todos hicieran lo mismo gracias desde Alerce puerto montt chile.
I have to agree with Alexander about it not being necessary to remove anything from the circular saw.I had a piece of aluminum and i simply bolted the base of the saw to it.There were already holes in the saw base plate and it seemed that this was what they were intended for.
Kind of amazing how "easily" you can assemble a workable table. Looks like you can get about 80% of the the way there (to a "perfect" TS) with minimal fuss. I'll be interested to see afterwards when you compare it to a real TS -- arbor runout, depth of cut, repeatability, etc. thanks for the video!
i did a project like this but ended up burning it after a few cuts, decided to use the the saw's own base and mechanism which worked perfectly till i burned the saw, did an awesome beveled 45 corners.
In the late '70's a DIY magazine featured a home made table saw that was my first table saw. Cut a lot of wood with it until I could afford a store bought saw. Those plans had you leave the shoe on the saw for depth control. I like your ideas way better because you also can tilt the blade for angle cuts.
I've considered making a table saw table for one of my cordless circular saws. I don't ever need a table saw for the small amount of woodworking I do, so it's just a fun little idea I'd like to try out. You're going much more in depth than I was. I was simply going to make it so I could drop the saw in upside down and screw the sled into the "table saw base".
Hi Matthias, I'm from Brazil and always accompany your videos and posts. You are brilliant and very creative. In this project above maybe you can have problems with dust that will fall within the blade guard. If you need anything from Brazil just say so.
I read comments about just but a saw. Very true. But imagine if you hire this person to build you something. It will be detailed and well built. He's a very intelligent wood worker who seems curious about how things function and what will be the outcome. He's extremely creative and not afraid to try. Imagine what else he's good at. I would say hide your wife cause he's damn good with his hands n mind.

I'm very glad to see this video now, because it's just actual for me. Thanks for making this project! You were using the shop made C clamps, You should add a link to it at 07:50.
I have wanted a decent Table Saw for years but the prices here in Australia are over the top, In the USA you can buy a decent 2nd hand unit. I have been looking for a Circular saw with 10inch blade but they are scarce. I decided to build one and include a Router for Dados. I am now looking at using a Mitre Saw l(a Ryobi CMS1825) as removing the base then you can bolt to table. What made me decide to go ahead with it was your Idea of using Cardboard cut outs. One of the Chinese stores I go into has a lot of Parts for automation small rods and bearings and threaded drives , looking at this type of equipment for Blade height adjustment and may be for Angle and using small electric motors to drive the adjustment’s.
ok Matthias, thats a real enthusiastic play, you could buy a table saw for half the effort. But working with wood sometimes needs a challenge for itself. Great job anyway.

You just make it look like you started fooling around one Saturday afternoon after you had picked up the circular saw at a yard sale. Excellent.
I could see it as building a smaller tablesaw .. for small parts and such for people who don't need a large cabinet saw. Also, the more important answer, why not! :) great video
I'm new to your channel...; Hell of a design my friend. That's creativity as it's best. I've seen much simple designs out there for a DIY table saw but you truly took your time and actually design a concept that if the circular saw goes bad one can always get another one of the same brand or adjust it to a different brand, well done!
Good stuff! Cracked me up at the end. I realized I was squinting in horror while watching the test cuts waiting for something catastrophic to happen, but I guess if it had, there wouldn't be a video.
I have a great respect for Matthias.Many things we make are experiments.It is by making that we find out if they are valid or not.I hinged the table top in my build and it is easy to swing up and adjust the settings.Also tilt is still there and if i want to use the saw for mobile use all i need to release is four bolts.I can not see the advantage yet but Matthias has a way of astounding me.Any thoughts on a nice way to stop dust from getting to a inverted motor? I was thinking of using leather.
Matthias gracias por contestar ei video de hase 2 años. Tus videos los tengo todos guardados, por que por que son muy buenos. LO que si hase mucho tiempo que no te veo , sera hasta pronto, suerte.

Using what you have to get what you want, the best definition of genius.

My dad built one in the 70s. You make his look like a kids toy. Great job.

Very beautiful you are an artist and I am a follower of Hassan al - Saadi from Iraq I have benefited greatly from your minds
you are a plywood master! Nice table saw, looks like it will provide a cleaner cut than most bought at the hardware store.
Of all the things I would've liked to see you build, it's a table saw. Thanks a bunch Matthias.

DUDE! You are so awesomely clever, creative and talented!
I'm so glad to see you doing this. Can't wait to see what sort of fence system you come up with!
THIS IS FANTASTIC! Perfect solution if there isn't enough room for a table saw! Can't wait for plans if this works!
hello, thank you for this product , I like because it's very good and easy to make, I'm a Vietnamese , and I live in Vietnam , I watched a lot of clips of you , I love like your job , you do not need one maid , just let me eat, I will work for you from 3 to 5 years .

I like his style. He's a creative guy.
Wow
It's briliant ideas
Another way to build table saw
I really love it..
Thank ...
😎
I have to agree with Alexander about it not being necessary to remove anything from the circular saw.I had a piece of aluminum and i simply bolted the base of the saw to it.There were already holes in the saw base plate and it seemed that this was what they were intended for.
I really love all the work you do with wood thanks for sharing, some people don't understand the good stuff, excellent job continue doing it.
how come, even though this video is from 7 years ago but it amazes me. I will try to make it, if possible. Very thanks sir!
7:27 I guess at this point it could be a decent miter saw too. In any case, I'm truly admirative of your ingenuity.
I really enjoyed seeing your process. That is the most important take-away from this...not another table saw, great vid.
Kind of amazing how "easily" you can assemble a workable table. Looks like you can get about 80% of the the way there (to a "perfect" TS) with minimal fuss. I'll be interested to see afterwards when you compare it to a real TS -- arbor runout, depth of cut, repeatability, etc.
thanks for the video!
You're a genius. Wow! For me to do that it'll take a long time. I don't have all the tools you have. Great job by the way.

Awesome. I have been hoping that you would tackle a homemade tablesaw for sometime.
superbe réalisation et très ingénieuse ! Bravo! Ça donne vraiment envie d'en faire autant.
you're very smart guy. congratulations.

Bravo my friend!! Now that is woodworking ingenuity. Good job.
Very nice project! I hope you survive to post part two!
I'm from indonesia, thanks for your leasson, i really love it ❤
Good job Matthias, you are the best on youtube, keep the good work
You are a wood working genius! I love your channel and web site! Thank you!

Nice work sir
I am your big fan sir and I am watching all vedios of u sir
Plz keep it up
God bless u sir
In reply to effeinc, because Matthias has the knowledge and the brains to work out the project, He is very smart and his video's are very informative.

You just make it look like you started fooling around one Saturday afternoon after you had picked up the circular saw at a yard sale. Excellent.
Хорошая приспособа!По твоему видео себе собрал,но в металле.Спасибо за идею.Удачи!
Finding your videos in the subscription box is like finding presents under the christmas tree!
I watched your video with subtitles in spanish. Tank you, I'm impressed. You are really creative. Muchas gracias!!
Coolest engineer & teacher at work in the world for timber
I think your work is excellent! I will try to copy it. I will send some photos to you when I finish.
I'm from Brazil. Thank you.

isn't it amazing,.. how the pictures, in ones mind, create a reality, and allow a person to overcome an obstacle to accomplish things !
This build is great I have been looking to do the same thing, I feel this is the best example of a build yet!
Hola amigo, y es una buena idea pero algo complicado,, saludos desde Guayaquil, Ecuador cuidate
This is so cool... I might have to try this out over the weekend.
That is awesome you have a lot of talent.
Por fin después de ver varios de sus videos pude saber qué es lo que dice, gracias por los subtítulos y gracias por mostrarnos todos sus proyectos
I can already envision this being toted out to your backyard for some more adventures in the sunshine.
Wow. You never cease to amaze me.
Is "lets make some sawdust" your new catch phrase? Great Job.
you just save me a lot of thinking and planning for this idea. thanks matt.
Really like your video, Matthias. I learn something with every one. Thanks!
Great video. really nice DIY if you happen to have an extra circular saw
Matthias gracias por contestar ei video de hase 2 años. Tus videos los tengo todos guardados, por que por que son muy buenos. LO que si hase mucho tiempo que no te veo , sera hasta pronto, suerte.
Whatever is cheap, mostly. Although I do like the Ryobi corded drills. Of the cheap ones, those are the only ones with a two stage gear reduction.
Really? Have you successfully bought something from gilliom, or are you just saying?
Good project! Everyone with not much tools can make this!
Watched this video months ago, yesterday wife comes home from garage sale with makita saw identical for like $2.00. Back to video.
2 dorrar? That's a pretty damn good find, you've got yourself a good wife there, a real treasure seeker
Actually, I did use a table saw to square up some of the pieces.
Genius ! Sheer Genius. A very ingenuine, successful attempt.
Yaptıklarınızı, severek ve ilgi ile izliyorum. Teşekkürler.
I love the project... I also love how you moved it along.... without a bunch of Yackity yack yack yack! Great qualities in a video!
Man u are a genius, thanks for share ur proyects with us..
