The big head comment reminds me of an Army buddy of mine. We just called him "Head". We always worried if he would be a liability, but we figured his head could withstand the damage.🤣
I know you might hate it (and look in the moment we all do), but showing your mistakes is helpful to us novice woodworkers, as we have either made the same/similar mistakes, or we now know what not to do. So appreciate leaving them in the video. Once again, loved watching the build and keep up the good work!
Novices don’t make mistakes, they create learning opportunities. You know you are a seasoned woodworker when your learning opportunities turn into mistakes. A mistake is something mYou know you shouldn’t have done, but you did it anyway😂
you are killing it - glad to see someone else working from the floor and kinda sad to see you join team self-made table saw workbench but also happy - keep on making
In Australia you can get the XPS foam boards at Bunnings, but they are 1/3 the dimensions of a full panel. I bought three and they're easy to store. Get a rated respirator if you're going to keep cutting MDF. You need to have three different sized holes predrilled for a recessed screw joint to pull itself together. Check out the "workshop companion" video on pocket holes for an explanation.
Thanks ill check them out! I try to stay away from MDF, but that panel was too good to pass up for free. I think (not sure though) that the RZ mask I use is fine for it.
Hey David, Great video, I like the speed and rhythm of your presentation. Now, I reckon if you had taped your safety flip flops to each side of your phone..... well what can I say. Win win! Regards and stay dusty. One Handed Maker - Australia.
Thanks mate! Really appreciate the kind words. Haha, the neighbours already give me strange looks filming, I think they would commit me if I started tying thongs to my phone. I'm tempted though.
I'm in the midst of building this cart and, even with your vid, I'm still making mistakes ;>) It's a good plan, but a word to the wise: BE SURE your saw fits between the right and center vertical boards (ask me how I know this). This may seem common sensical, but I screwed up my first attempt and had to start all over (with lots of scrap to use over). Thanks for your good work.
Yeh sometimes modifying a plan to suit your needs is worse than just doing it from scratch. I'm glad to hear im not the only one that makes mistakes that should seem obvious :) Cheers!
As far as storing a large foam sacrifice sheet goes, you had a large MDF panel against the wall. It could very easily go there! Lol But I've found the best solution for me was to mount a couple of blocks on the wall a couple of inches from the ceiling to use as a ledge. Then, a couple of more on the ceiling a little farther out than the width of the sheet, with another block loosely screwed onto it so I can turn it like a toggle. Putting the sheet up on an 8ft ceiling by yourself is very easy. Rest it on the fixed ledge, press it up with a scrap of wood, then use another scrap to turn the toggle to keep it in place. Sounds awkward, but it's very easy and utilizes space that wouldn't be occupied by anything else.
Here's my take on pocket hole joinery. It's perfectly acceptable for shop projects. The channels that show Festool domino joinery or biscuits, or dado, or mortice and tenon, are trying to sell a product. Quick, and dirty is the way to go for shop made furniture, and pocket holes are more than adequate.
I’m definitely with you on having strong opinions/confidence based on hours logged on TH-cam. “Actual projects are much harder to make than they appear.” Nice vid, nice table - congratulations. Also I think that was only an average number of screwups.
I've made most of those mistakes, and many many more, myself. You did well. Paraphrasing Epictetus @27:09 was great. I particularly like Samuel Beckett's spin on it - "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better."
Great build I have done something similar for my Bosch saw. I think you have nearly as many Ryobi tools I do😂. I like the fold down extension well done 👍
Awesome video, I’ll definitely come back to this when the wife caves and I’m able to get my table saw 😊 On the note about things going wrong, a cabinet I’m restoring, everything was going swimmingly till I came to varnishing the top. To cut a long story, short, sanded back to wood bare wood, restained, and varnished again. 😫 My lesson, don’t apply to much pressure during sanding the 1st coat of varnish! What doesn’t kill ya , makes ya stronger 👍🏻
refreshing video, thanks! I´m glad that its not only my thing to make those little "f*ckups" 😆. I have DWE7492 and also starting to prepare a project for new saw station. All the best! 👍
Great video I've had the same table saw for about four years now and to get rid of the steel legs is on my to do list. This video might get me motivated to build the same. Thanks Steve.
Hope it helps. I did the sketchup plans with 17mm stock as I figured most people would use plywood. I couldn't get the cut list perfect, as I really have no idea what I'm doing with sketchup, but if you have any questions just yell out.
Excellent video mate! Always enjoy watching your project builds and I’m relieved to see you not in your safety flip flops, could have had a nasty 🛹 accident 😉 😂 I spent the entire day making a dust extractor for my thickness planer! So much fun!
Hi. It’s great that you’re showing what can be done with limited resources so that you encourage those wanting to get started. As an Industrial Arts teacher I have two issues. The first one is safety. I have spent 40 years educating teenagers that if you are unsafe you will not be permitted to work. While jokes about safety thongs are amusing, actually working in them should not be shown. Who knows when you will take that next step onto a protruding nail, or lose grip of your circular just to name two common accidents at home. Eye and hearing protection should be worn whenever dust or swarf is produced or decibels are above about 70. I have lost a little hearing, but I have colleagues who are now suffering with nearly total deafness. Also, you call yourself ‘Melbourne Maker’. A great name by the way. You have an Australian accent and talk about Australianisms such as Bunnings. We, in Australia do not use the term ‘dado’ in woodworking - it is a rebate. FYI for correct nomenclature, a groove will run ALONG the grain, a trench ACROSS the grain and a rebate will be on an EDGE or END. Please get the little things correct. I would like to recommend your site to colleagues, as its 90% useful for teaching, but at he moment its really good for ‘spot the unsafe behaviour’ lesson. Thanks once more for the effort you’re going to. Lloyd
Thanks Lloyd, really appreciate the feedback. I'm very early and self teaching so I am getting better at safety. Please don't go and watch the earlier videos 😬 I also definitely don't have the correct terminology a lot, so appreciate any corrections. Hopefully I can keep improving, cheers.
I have one of those big 4x8 sheets of foam, and store it in my storage building, against a wall. :) Comes in very handy for breaking down sheet goods, though.
Another great video. No one likes messing up but it is funny to watch 😂. Mainly because I’ve been there before you making many of the same “design features”. Nice to see the safety flip flops 😀relegated to hotter days. I do find you more amusing with all fingers attached though - push blocks and push sticks on the table saw? Thanks for another entertaining video. 5 minute break from creasoting my new shed base turned into 28 minutes. Now back to it, this time with the aim of more creasote on the wood than on me.
I just bought my first table saw, a Metabo 254 M which I will hopefully set up tomorrow. Thanks for your design, I might use that as a starting point. Next you have to make a Thicknesser cabinet so you aren't running that on the ground!
This is really cool. I was gonna buy one of those folding stands for my saw cos I don't have much space either but now I feel like I'll end up hating it. Your video style is really good. Keep up it. Love that you're no bullshit and show all the mistakes as well. This stuff is hard for n00bz
Cheers mate! Yeh I got that stand for free with the saw.... And in my opinion I still paid too much for it. The saw never sat right on it, and wasn't sturdy enough to warrant the effort of bolting the saw onto it each time. I'd say I was using it wrong, but even I'm not that bad haha.
Another great video David - Im yet to comit to building a stand/cart for my Dewalt Saw, so ill keep this in mind. Its a great saw, but it really does need a left side extension and outfeed table. Well done, and congratulations on the new phone.
I have the same table saw and went through the same deal and failed, so i gave up trying but i plan to try again to put the table saw up the ground :)) I recommend to buy a better blade, it makes a big difference, i use a Freud/Diablo blade for wood.
Thanks! Yeh I have got a nice flat curf blade I saw over for some cuts and its so much nicer. I do need to get a better bladeI cn knock about though for sure. Keep going on the table saw cabinet though. It makes life so much nicer. Hopefully the plans on patreon help out a bit anyway :)
For the flickering lights, what frame rate are you filming at? If it's at 30 or 60 fps you'll get that sort of effect due to our electricity running at 50Hz in Australia, see if it goes away filming at 25 or 50 fps. I know on iPhone you can enable PAL modes in settings->camera which lets you choose 25 fps modes, but frustratingly you'll need a 3rd party camera app (I'd recommend Filmic Pro) to do 50 fps.
Thanks mate. I'm filming on a pixel phone and a crappy action cam, so no real idea haha. Ill take a look at the settings to see if I can change to 25fps. Cheers!
Dude, I was one of those that commented on your thongs last video (not flip flops, we're not Yanks 😂). You didnt need to go all 'safety boots' for working in your garage. Just a pair of runners / sneakers (whatever you wanna call them) would do. Any shoes are better than no shoes.
Haha. Yeh my missus is one of extremes 😉 and yes they will always be thongs in my mind, just need to make sure the other side of the pond knows what I'm on about 🤣
Don't break down full sheets on that table, it needs legs under the fold out or the whole thing is going to go ass up 7' into your cut. Also I think you just need a longer Robertson bit for your pocket holes, this is why pocket hole jigs come with a 5 or 6 inch long one. Longer bit should fix your angle of attack helping with slippage, screw bite, and uhh maybe even remembering which bit is for pocketholes.. lol
Thanks, yeh I don't think my one came with a bit. But think I got it second hand, so probably got lost by the previous owner. I do need to get longer but, will help heaps. That combined with using the right bit 😂
Just finished the video. Excellent design for a small shop! I do have a question I just can't parse out myself: Why did you glue-up all 4 of the flooring boards into one big panel, just to then cut it in half? Why not just glue up 2, and then the other 2, together?
Cheers. I glued that panel up in one piece as each drawer front was a bit smaller then 2 boards. I wanted to have the wood grain continue across both drawer fronts so did it as a single pannel. Unnecessary, but figured I'd see how good I could get it as practice for future stuff.
Like it! Im looking to make a small bench for my table saw too. Havent seen any smaller ones like this before. Seems most have plenty of space to put it , which I dont. Just wondering, with the small footprint, is it stable enough to saw large plates without tipping over? (Like the MDF you use.) Or you reckon some additional support is advised? Love you kept the mallet 😄
Havnt used it a ton yet, but it's been super stable so far. Havnt tried to run massive sheets through it, but seems super stable. I did use MDF though so would be heavier than a plywood version which would give it more stability.
Cheers. The drawer sides for myself don't need to be any higher as I'll be using them primarily to store bulky items. I prefer to not have high sided drawers as they just become dumping pits. Nothing to stop you building them bigger or adding 3 or 4 drawers instead.
Bits of foam! It’s much handier to buy several smaller squares of the stuff and deploy them as needed rather than to buy a big 4x8’ sheet and try to store it.
That is amazing. Iv just sub to your channel. How are you getting on with all the ryobi tools . Because I need new tools . Not sure if they are any good
I really like them, although not a lot to compare them to if I'm honest. Mainly using them because I didn't like the idea of having multiple batteries. The fact they have a wide range is also handy. Buy the expensive versions of the tools you use alot and the cheap versions of the less important ones
Cheers. On the door I used tung oil so it would match in better with my workbench. I put some wipe on poly over the top. Then on the drawer fronts I just used wipe on poly nothing else. Not fancy but seems to work well.
G'day. As a new subscriber to your channel, I've binge-watched all of your videos, and I must say, I've never seen anything quite like it before. I've thought about a new name for your channel. Trust me, you're gonna love it because it's more in line with your content. I think you should change the name to, 'The Melbourne Stuff-Up Maker'. Now that's what I call the perfect channel name. You have to agree, its true and very catchy, wouldn't you say? All that's missing is one of your electric tools say, the table saw, exploding or suddenly bursting into fire. Can electrical tools suddenly and spontaneously combust like human bodies are said to do? Wouldn't that be brilliant to watch. Think of all the views, comments, and thumbs up you would receive. Not to mention the payouts each month. Crikey, you could be an overnight millionaire sensation.
@ 21:24 into the video, you could have gotten seriously injured. Don't ever hold the piece with your arm across the miter saw. Use your other hand to bring down the saw.😮
Sheesh - need more detail in your videos mate. You can't leave "went to the footy last night and might have had a few drinks" hanging out there. What game and was it a happy or sad hangover?
Honestly I'd rather watch a guy in his garage screw up and then fix the mistake while explaining how/why it even happened as opposed to someone who works with a bunch of sponsored equipment in a dedicated shop and builds everything "perfectly". Nothing is ever perfect and there is no shame in that. And having sponsors being repeatedly pointed throughout the video makes the whole project feel like an ad rather than a work of passion, and that is just boring.
Cheers! Yeh I try to keep the videos honest. While I'd love to eventually get some sponsors to help offset my growing tool addiction, hopefully I can keep them so they are a natural part of videos rather than being forced down viewers throat.
Always glad to help out another maker, and the unit came out awesome!
Thanks mate. Hopefully I didn't ruin the plans you did too much with my meddling haha 😅
Great video. Subbed. Thank you, both!
Great result mate. No gunna lie, the table saw on the ground did freak me out. I have an extra large head though and prone to toppling 😆
Cheers mate. Yeh it's nice to not be bending over now. Will take me a bit to get used to though haha.
The big head comment reminds me of an Army buddy of mine. We just called him "Head". We always worried if he would be a liability, but we figured his head could withstand the damage.🤣
The Australian woodworking community is tight knit and storming the globe. Crikey!

Cheers mate. Yeh I'm still working out the best way to cut these to make sure they are perfect. I'm probably over thinking it as I normally do 🤣
"This will be a nice quick project" Right. We always think that...
Yeh famous last words eh haha

Very nice mate! I've had a similar build on the cards for 2 years and you've beaten me to it. Plus, video is cranking along, well done!

Really enjoying your vids! I have the same table saw and I need to make something similar. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks mate. Hopefully the plans help
Great vid! Thanks man
No problem! Thank you
I keep my insulation sheet in the bed of the truck so I can just pull it out and use the tailgate as a workbench.
Now I need a truck to go with my sheet. I'll let the boss know 😉
Great video, mate! Regarding those foam sheets, get a few of the 30mm insulation sheets from Bunnings and you are good to go, no need full sheet.
Thanks for the tip!

Like it! Im looking to make a small bench for my table saw too. Havent seen any smaller ones like this before. Seems most have plenty of space to put it , which I dont.
Just wondering, with the small footprint, is it stable enough to saw large plates without tipping over? (Like the MDF you use.) Or you reckon some additional support is advised?
Love you kept the mallet 😄
Havnt used it a ton yet, but it's been super stable so far. Havnt tried to run massive sheets through it, but seems super stable. I did use MDF though so would be heavier than a plywood version which would give it more stability.
I like it, but why did you make the drawers so shallow?
Cheers. The drawer sides for myself don't need to be any higher as I'll be using them primarily to store bulky items. I prefer to not have high sided drawers as they just become dumping pits. Nothing to stop you building them bigger or adding 3 or 4 drawers instead.
well done *holds all the jokes inside*
*looks innocent
Bits of foam! It’s much handier to buy several smaller squares of the stuff and deploy them as needed rather than to buy a big 4x8’ sheet and try to store it.
Good idea, cheers
That is amazing. Iv just sub to your channel. How are you getting on with all the ryobi tools . Because I need new tools . Not sure if they are any good
I really like them, although not a lot to compare them to if I'm honest. Mainly using them because I didn't like the idea of having multiple batteries. The fact they have a wide range is also handy. Buy the expensive versions of the tools you use alot and the cheap versions of the less important ones
Very nice! What finish did you use?
Cheers. On the door I used tung oil so it would match in better with my workbench. I put some wipe on poly over the top. Then on the drawer fronts I just used wipe on poly nothing else. Not fancy but seems to work well.
Did I miss the 'secret feature'?
Yeh sorry was a little click baity there. It was the fold up out feed table.
G'day.
As a new subscriber to your channel, I've binge-watched all of your videos, and I must say, I've never seen anything quite like it before.
I've thought about a new name for your channel. Trust me, you're gonna love it because it's more in line with your content.
I think you should change the name to, 'The Melbourne Stuff-Up Maker'. Now that's what I call the perfect channel name.
You have to agree, its true and very catchy, wouldn't you say? All that's missing is one of your electric tools say, the table saw, exploding or suddenly bursting into fire.
Can electrical tools suddenly and spontaneously combust like human bodies are said to do?
Wouldn't that be brilliant to watch. Think of all the views, comments, and thumbs up you would receive. Not to mention the payouts each month. Crikey, you could be an overnight millionaire sensation.
Haha yeh if they can explode I'm sure I'll work out how heh. Cheers mate.
Where are your safety flip flops?
I know right, sad times.
@ 21:24 into the video, you could have gotten seriously injured. Don't ever hold the piece with your arm across the miter saw. Use your other hand to bring down the saw.😮
Yeh I should have clamped it to save the cross over. Was just being lazy on that cut.
Waay too relatable. Sir, save your mouth - does your green drill have the same magnet that mine does? It's taken me ages to break that habit.
It has a magnet? I'll have to check
Sheesh - need more detail in your videos mate. You can't leave "went to the footy last night and might have had a few drinks" hanging out there. What game and was it a happy or sad hangover?
Haha. It would of been the essendon v Carlton game so a sad hungover. There were quite a few beers required. I'm a long suffering essendon supporter.
Hey, love your work,but please don't use cross hands on mitre saw! Very dangerous!
Yeh I was being lazy on that one. I know better. Probably should of left that on the edit cutting floor. Thanks for the concern 🙂
Wots a flip flop?
Us Aussies call em thongs 😉
Re: the video title
Don't worry, I'll make all new mistakes if I try this.
Haha cheers. Enjoy the rollercoaster 😉
Nothing convyes disappointment quite like hands.
Yep that's my Italian half coming out hahaha
Cobram state extra virgin no less 😉👍
Haha yep 😉
Safety boots! Good start, now work on changing out of your pyjamas before making a vid.
Hahaha! Yeh, I didnt realise how bad those pants are getting in their old age
Honestly I'd rather watch a guy in his garage screw up and then fix the mistake while explaining how/why it even happened as opposed to someone who works with a bunch of sponsored equipment in a dedicated shop and builds everything "perfectly". Nothing is ever perfect and there is no shame in that. And having sponsors being repeatedly pointed throughout the video makes the whole project feel like an ad rather than a work of passion, and that is just boring.
Cheers! Yeh I try to keep the videos honest. While I'd love to eventually get some sponsors to help offset my growing tool addiction, hopefully I can keep them so they are a natural part of videos rather than being forced down viewers throat.
@@MelbourneMaker Tool addiction isn't real. It can't hurt you (or at least that is what I tell myself).
Come on mate. You call yourself then Melbourne Maker, but call them “flip flops”. They’re bloody thongs or pluggas
Yeh will always be thongs in my mind, but I need to not freak out the American viewers haha ;)
@@MelbourneMakeryeah, they are a bit special
why does this guy look like he is going to sell me a used sham wow rag or some other garbage phone order rag from early 2000s
Shhh don't tell everyone about my old job! Hahaha
Get rid of the subtitles. They're annoying.
You can turn them off :) should be a CC button on youtube.
Round of applause for this guy!
