3D animations, relevant movie clips, voiceovers, hours and hours of footage to plan, film, then edit down... this video must have been a MASSIVE amount of work. To even watch the whole video 6 times for QA would take half a day. Let alone the thoughtful projects and plans too. THANK YOU for this video!
Granted it's still lots of work and a decent video, but this long video is just a collection of his videos from the last 2+ years stitched together and not a fully brand new work.
Great idea. Good execution. I won't be watching more of your videos because of the continual product promotion and way too exposition. That's not actually a complaint. You seem to have a healthy following and there is an audience for the detailed instructions. Just not for me.
Hotdog lol. Thank you for this. I lost everything, tools and all, in the divorce. Starting over without all the extras is much easier with your method of teaching that assumes we are starting with nothing. Thank you
Hot Dog! What about building a butter fly table top. Thinking about doing this for a table in our kitchen. Now it's just the two of us, but we have great friends that stop by. With the table extensions hidden under the table it would be a quick way to expand when we play cards, games, or just come together to break bread and give thanks for great friends!!
I would like to recommend you make sure the grill on the router (where it sucks in air to cool the electric motor) does not get clogged with dust. One easy way to do this is to use a large diameter hose and clamp it over the router's business end. That way you can let the dust collect and swirl around in the box underneath knowing the router can get fresh and cooler air to get cooled down. You can use pvc pipe and heat the end to make an adapter that fit the router if the hose sizes do not work out well... In your case (since the router is close to the bottom of your dust collection box (DCB) you could simply use a slightly over size pipe and mount it in the bottom so it loosely encloses the router and prevent the majority of the dust from getting to that grill. You may need do some messing with the router itself (electronically) since the speed control can not be reached if the dust shield pipe is in place. You could opt to remove the speed control from the router and wire it in a plastic box on the outside, say the outside of the DCB. I assume the router in the table is there to live there for the rest of its days...
Loving these builds, I’m only up to the dust collection box and thought I would post, if you mad the box a bit deeper and placed the vacuum hose at the bottom, instead of at the back, the sawdust would automatically fall that way and it would more likely collect more of the dust without there being a build up.
And yet, I’m super jealous of his “less shop space” because my “shop” is a 4x8 concrete pad in my backyard and my carpeted living room, lol. You work with what you have available
Hotttdog! I'm a bit behind in becoming a talented wood worker, but your videos are helping me catch up and get up to optimal orbittal speed 😂 thank you for neing an excellent mentor and very relevant content creator.😊
Had that same exact issue with my Ryobi router. Did the same swap out too. And then I went and bought a Dewalt and shelved the Ryobi. I have a lot of Ryobi tools, they're great. The router just couldn't hold up. Great video, thanks for the plans and ideas!
Hey. I know you like your SawStop table saw but you should look into putting an "INCRA" TS LS Combo 4 with the Wonder fence Joinery package upgrade on it. You'll then have the most accurate and reproducible guides and setup out there. I did it to my older Rigid TS3650 saw. Love your videos. Keep it up great work!
project idea: a mobile scrap storage cart with a way to keep the boards and sheet goods from bowing. everything in my garage has a bow from leaning up against the wall. it’s bad for the material and it looks like an episode of hoarders for termites.
As I watched this, my Amazon wishlist grew and grew and grew. I never even knew those Krieg cupboard jigs existed and now I want them. I don't need them right now, but....
All GREAT projects Eric. Only two gripes; 1. How do you pre-drill? Would that be grabbing the drill and bits?? 2. I didn't hear anything about cleaning up the leavings in the parking lot? Small thing but we all have to do our part. Keep the vids coming! !! !!!
Took me 3 separate attempts to finish video in its entirety!! You guys put a lot into making these videos, the least I can do is watch it all. Nice trip down memory lane Bud. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
Hot dog. Thank you for all the videos you make, I love them, and also, thank you so much for putting your ideas/plans up for free. You're going to help me and everyone else easier to make projects. Keep up the good work mate.
Hot Dog!! The only tools I use are Ryobi! I have been using them for 15+ years and have never had an issue with any of them! I do have one Dewalt corded random orbital sander only because I got it at an estate sale for 5 dollars! Your views on projects are the way I like it! I don't care too much what it looks like just as long as it works!
Another "tool" you should get if you're going to be working on the floor - a garden mat or yoga mat! Save your knees. Mats are usually cheaper than kneepads, more comfortable, and can be used for many things. Or high density grey foam from computer/appliance packing. Or even the pieces of "pink foam" you use to back the wood to cut.
Knockwurst.. ( much better than a hot dog) I have the job site (delta) table saw that I bought 30 years ago when I was young, healthy and building houses. it is in fairly rough condition, but I can't afford to replace it. I clamp a straight edge as the fence, and have to use pliers to raise and lower the blade. but it works. 27 years ago my house burned down, so I lost 95% of my tools. and over the years, replacing them with a VA pension has made it so a lot of my tools are Harbor Freight cheapies. I have still put out some pretty nice pieces over the years. for my grandson's birthday last year I made him a corn hole set, that had folding legs, and stainless draw catches, with a handle on one side of one of the box frames to make it close up like an oversized suitcase with the bean bags, as well as a ladder ball set I also made him, and the balls for that in a portable game kit for picnics etc.
Making all those hole layout marks and the subsequent drilling looks so tedious. :) When I made a vacuum table for my hobby CNC I used the CNC to drill the holes. If I take the CNC's table out I can just put the CNC on top of whatever I'm working on. It's a great project. I'm going to build one too. Thank you for making these videos.
I have a question regarding the dust collection box for your router table. The router motor obviously has a cooling system built in that pulls air from the ambient and forces it through the motor to cool the windings and stator. It would seem to me that placing the entire router within the dust collection box would place much more dust within the router cooling air stream. I would think it would plug up the cooling passages faster/more frequently, eventually damaging the router or at best, shortening the life of the motor. What are your thoughts?
Hot Dog! I find it easy when trying to duplicate a length on the miter saw to line them up as you did (at 1:26:28), (by feel at the far edge) and then bring the blade down and slide both over until the already-cut one touches the blade of the saw, and then make the cut. No inaccuracy due to thickness of the pencil line, and less work. Just a thought. My wife loves listening to your funny comments as she makes my breakfast. Thanks for this video.
I am the dude that got run over by a drunk driver in his powerchair. My Docs have had me flying low. Spine surgery on Tuesday. Then one more spine surgery and then they remove the “thing” in my brain. I watch a lot of TH-cam. Please, please please do not drift off the building of your projects! Dont. Everyone is reviewing RED Tools and Festool. I am an OG at almost 70. Like I said a masters in Technical Woodcraft. How on earth I kept my shop employing 6 dudes for 25 years escapes me. I still do not own a RED Tool one and the last time I used Festool was in 1985 when living and working in Germany. Festool was like all there was! No Sustainers or all this fluff but we still managed to knock out 5 Star builds. It was all 5 Star. We had a blast making things crazy good. Like I told you, you got the eye and the hand to eye skill sets that it takes. The day you buy your house is the day you blow the roof off of what you dont even know is holding you down. You also have the gift of gab. Keep building your projects. Sure, acquire free stuff every chance you get. ME? 17:43 Yes I am worried BIG TIME. It will all be fine. I also hold my doctorate in Theology so as one would guess that has been more than just a hand on my shoulder. That and a ton of opiates help me along when I am buying expensive machines and tools at the end of very very long days. Keep the party going…. Best! TS, Portland, Oregon
My thought for the clamp holder is to drill holes at the back side of the cutout and then you only make two cuts on the table saw to hog out the waste.
Plenty of terrific tips & ideas 💡 The one tip that I seemed to have missed - How do I convince Kreg to send me the Thousand($) of dollars of jigs for free since I can barely afford any One of them ? 🤷♂️😤🙇♂️
I’ve seen square drill bits that could’ve gotten you the top of each notch on the clamp rack, ORRR a spiral bit router jig that you can knock half the thickness out and then a second pass again. Taller dado stack too obviously but they don’t really make them that big for good reason.
Hotdog; made a small donation for the plans, but not sure when or which ones I will actually build 🙃 I am pretty sure the Ridgid table saw base will be one as well as a modified version of your mobile workbench & drawers
I inherited an old Rockwell 10" right tilt table saw that has a very large right hand extension table. I have considered installing a router on the far end of the table. My problem is 1) I dont have bits yet for my new Skil router and 2) I cant find an insert that fits said router. I'm sure I'll come u with something.
Hotdog... if thats the word for this video. So long i havent made it that far yet. For the clamp storage, i dont think i have seen this on the tube, but i use a straightedge and draw a lineparallel to each side of the blade on the table all the way back to edge of table. Then u just line up pencil mark on the piece to the lines on the table. Makes for much faster repeat cuts like this when using a miter guage and nibbling away to get consistent cuts up to your line.
I love my ryobi tools. Yes I don’t use them everyday but they have the largest battery power tool line. So you can use the same battery for variety of tools. Ryobi is my choice
Hot Dog! Like your video's. Downloaded the plans for a few of the projects. They were free, but wanted to leave a donation, but was not given the option. May want to let your web guy know.
Just curious, looked quickly, but didnt see where you mentioned what power unit you are using for your vacuum? Shop vac? dust collection unit? Thanks...
I picked this as my last video before sleeping. 10 minutes in and realized it was a complication. Not mad but not gonna be able to finish. Gonna have to come back later.
15:53 drill holes at the end of the slots then cut them at the table saw. No need for the slots to be square at the end, and that will save you from having to hog out all that material with the table saw.
As @@matthewkelly1717 I was wondering why Eric didn't do it. Sometimes the most obvious solution is staring you in the face, but you cannot see it. Overall, I love the video... Thanks
15:30 Instead of DADO'ing with a regular blade, I would have Just drilled a hole the width of the DADO, and then sawed out the left and right cut. Then just tell yourself the rounded corners look better and voilá.
Just downloaded one of your plans. I received a pdf and an skp file. Do I need to download sketchup software or are the files the same info just in different format? Thanks for all your terrific work. It's inspiring for this retired wannabe woodworker.
The advantage to more tools is not just speed and accuracy, it is higher cost versus the amount of labor you need to put out and the chance of damaging wood that you need to replace if you drill or cut wrong. The ability to make a box that will hold a router under your table if you are willing to spend the money for the parts to hold the router you will need to buy. Oh, and not to mention where do you put the tools you have for fixing cars and where do you store everything that has nothing to do with the stuff you made that doesn't have a place anywhere else that you don't have any other place to put.
I'm not particularly a fan of Ryobi, but the best tool is the one that allows you to complete your task. If you were able to abuse a $50 router for three years before needing to replace it, then it did its job. Though I suspect that when this one dies, you'll probably be upgrading.
Amazing video, thank you! It is funny though how Ryobi tools are seen as cheap $h1t in North America, while it’s almost at the same price level and status as Dewalt/Makita in Europe, and in U.S you even get the better Ryobi versions compared to EU. That router cost me $200 in Ireland.😮

This man does more with less shop space than I would ever even attempt
You're right. He doesn't waste one square inch of the available space.
He has mas grande huevos, for sure. I like watching his film, no pretense.
And yet, I’m super jealous of his “less shop space” because my “shop” is a 4x8 concrete pad in my backyard and my carpeted living room, lol. You work with what you have available
Him and Scott Walsh both. Amazing what they do in that shop space. Mine is about the same, and I can hardly walk though it. I need to organize better.
I enjoy the transparency of your mistakes in your videos along with the great ideas and step by step instructions. Thank you for sharing.

I'd like to watch and learn how to build this for my little workspace. I'm a scrap hoarder... admitting it as a first step to my recovery. 😂
If you would have drilled a hole at the top, the width of the slot, 2 cuts per slot shoulda done it.👍 love the channel

Your generosity doesn't go unnoticed. Many thanks.
For dust collection on the router box, put some holes or a slit in the bottom for air to drag the dust towards the inlet of the vac

another great video! thanks for showing these! I love the vac swing. I like you have a small shop and this will work great in mine.
Do you have to use Kreg screws when using their pocket hole jig or is there a more cost efficient alternative?
For your clamp rack I would make a router template for one groove ( using a bearing bit)
and a Key so you can move it over evenly each time.
Hot Dog, I love these ideas

Fun to see where Spencley came from before Festool and Woodpeckers took over the shop. Although I really like where he is now too.
Hotdog is my favorite. LOL Thanks for this video
I feel like I would have rigged some jig with a router, similar to a box joint.
Thanks buddy!
I have a question regarding the dust collection box for your router table.

I would think it would plug up the cooling passages faster/more frequently, eventually damaging the router or at best, shortening the life of the motor. What are your thoughts?
It's really interesting to watch this video, thank you for uploading it
Ryobi isnt bad, I have my main frequently used dewalt tools but my one off less frequently used tools as ryobi.
Love my ryobi

My thought for the clamp holder is to drill holes at the back side of the cutout and then you only make two cuts on the table saw to hog out the waste.
Finger joint jig kind of thing for the repetitive cutting on the clamp rack seems like it would work.
Plenty of terrific tips & ideas 💡 The one tip that I seemed to have missed - How do I convince Kreg to send me the Thousand($) of dollars of jigs for free since I can barely afford any One of them ? 🤷♂️😤🙇♂️
Really like this small shop and hard to dreg the shop vac around thank you
I’ve seen square drill bits that could’ve gotten you the top of each notch on the clamp rack, ORRR a spiral bit router jig that you can knock half the thickness out and then a second pass again. Taller dado stack too obviously but they don’t really make them that big for good reason.
Great video. Lots of great projects.
Ryobi tools are a great value. Place i work has about 50 of the drills. Used all day.
HotDog, this is almost as long as if I listened to the Green Suiters!
Sell the fesstools and buy a house. 😂
Very nice video. I definitely need to build that boom arm.
Hotdog; made a small donation for the plans, but not sure when or which ones I will actually build 🙃 I am pretty sure the Ridgid table saw base will be one as well as a modified version of your mobile workbench & drawers

comment about Clamp Rack...Drill 3/8 dia.hole at end of each slot, then make two cuts each edge of hole, saves time and less work...
Wow! that was amazing.
Thanks
5:17 I have Festool stuff for when my tools need to be great and Ryobi for when they just need to be OK.
I use Ryobi tools in my videos too but as soon as Festool decides to start sponsoring me, I’m going to switch to them 😂

How's the move going, Eric? Looking forward to the 'new house / shop' project videos!
Hotdog... if thats the word for this video. So long i havent made it that far yet.

Amazing video, thank you! It is funny though how Ryobi tools are seen as cheap $h1t in North America, while it’s almost at the same price level and status as Dewalt/Makita in Europe, and in U.S you even get the better Ryobi versions compared to EU. That router cost me $200 in Ireland.😮
