“Only 2 cars garage”? I know I’m picking on words. But you really live in paradise.

[@phillipreborn]

Yes, I am very blessed. I meant in comparison to a designated work shop.

[@scornthwaite]

One thing I think that stands out with your table, is the tools are actually at appropriate heights for being used. As in all tools are at the right height to utilize the table as feeding/outfeed surfaces. VERY well done IMO.

[@phillipreborn]

Thank you! That was a very important part of the design.

[@Sham1r0]

That is very true super well engineered for sure

[@stephennovosad6438]

The bandsaw is the one that reallyu captures my attention!

[@phillamoore157]

Amen to THAT! And, absolutely NO ONE talks about that. And, while the “right” height, can be somewhat subjected, it would be nice to see someone talk about the height, and relation to other tools, as a subject in and of itself. This young man did a great job with this.

[@jamesbizs]

Am I missing something? Why does that stand out? How would it make sense to not have these things level with the table?

I’ve seen a lot of these benches in the quest to build my own. This is by far the best I’ve seen. It checks off a few issues for me. Dust management, compactness, multiple tools, just to name a few. Well done sir! You’re light years ahead of the other benches I’ve seen so far and I’m not trying to take anything away from those other folks hard way.

[@theintelligentcarpenter9407]

Nice job. Tip for you... When enlarging a hole from a hole saw, put the size you want on the arbor and then add the size it is now. Should be enough room to thread them both on. Now just put original hole saw in and the bigger one will cut the hole larger. This is especially useful when the center of the hole(s) needs to stay put. They pop apart fairly easy with a screw driver after. Enjoy.

[@phillipreborn]

[@barbarianatgate2000]

This is a great design. I've seen several done, but I really like this. The one thing I would change if I were doing it is how the casters function. Having them move independently will most likely cause the racking and eventually send the unit out of true. If you use a piece of angle iron or square tubing to connect them, it would cause the end to go up or down in unison rather than each corner by itself. Other than that, I think this is an excellent design. Well done!

[@phillipreborn]

I've though about doing that just haven't got around to it yet. That's a great idea, thanks!

I have a 10' x 20' shed. Along the walls were my miter saw, drill press, band saw, sharpening station, shelving for additional tools, lathe, compressor, vacuum, trash receptacle and in the center of the shed was my table saw with workbench/outfeed table. No room to maneuver. I saw a video where this guy was set up in a shop and had three tools concealed on hinges to swing up for use. I gave my brother in law my table saw and workbench and built a bench that housed five tools, band saw, drill press, grinder, miter saw, and surface planer. I used a 4' x 7' birch plywood top with 180 degree hinges to conceal my tools and vacuum. I bought a portable table saw and sold the attached rolling/folding stand, making a box with drawers to support the table saw independent of the bench and housing a router table between the fence arms so that I could use the fence on either tool. To support each of the five tools I used 3/4" plywood hinged to my bench frame and aligned them so that the surface planer and miter saw table was in line with the bench top. I made a plenum that I attached to the shop vac that allowed me to select which of the tools received the vac suction. Door hinges supported the fold down tools and we're also attached to 3/4" thick triangles to swing under the tool supports when using each tool. I also added drawers to house small tools and supplies and accessories under each tool. I have not yet completely enclosed the sides of the bench yet, that's next.

[@phillipreborn]

Sounds very similar. How are the 3/4 tool supports holding up?

[@chuckjohnson4048]

@@phillipreborn no problems, I used door screws to mount them to my 2x3 stud cabinet framework and made triangular hinged supports that swung under the horizontally hinged tool support and just raise the tool high enough to clear the vertically mounted triangles.

Boy oh boy getting everything right is a must. I can imagine having a tool too low, and having product banging onto the exit plane, swinging doors getting out of hand and loosening up the screws/hinges but if everything was done fastidiously then what an incredibly space efficient system! I love that after you move it you can set it down on the floor and its solid as a rock. And you could plug it in and use the whole set up outside! A truly amazing design! You should approach a manufacturer and make them a deal. I would love to buy your system built for me! To build that would be like rebuilding a car from scratch - it would take me a year full of redoes...

[@BlessedLaymanNC]

Here is an observation you have probably already seen: @14:24 you are showing where your router table will go and the planer exhaust. The router table doesn't need to be very far from the edge. You could off-set the spacing so the planer has more room and the router table has less. You would end up with a longer door on the planer and shorter on the router table. It's a thought! I love your work bench. I'd love to have one that fits through a 30 inch door and is 5 feet long. That's what I'm trying to design and build. Thank you for your inspiration.

[@phillipreborn]

[@phillipreborn]

Thank you, it is much appreciated!

[@mickeypoppi]

As an engineer over all a great design, but i would take advantage of the gap between the hinged tops that i did on mine. Use a router t-track bit and route the gaps for a t-track hold down system. the only other is the absence of a vise. An end vise instead of the top mounted type with dog holes is a great add-on to any bench.

[@Rapidfire556]

Super impressive built. Only thing I'm going to add is that I built mine similarly in terms of framing and rough length and with just a 12" miter saw in the middle, that front lower 2x4 started sagging after about 9 months. I jacked it up in the center to take out the bend, then sistered 4 layers of birch to the front and that seems to be holding it for now. So watch out for that with this one and maybe consider beefing up the bottom 2x4 under the miter saw when you start noticing it.

[@phillipreborn]

Thank you and thanks for the tips!

[@NBGTFO]

I love this project, one day I'll make this when my skills are improved. A lot going on here and a lot can go wrong. The toughest thing would be the alignment to get each tool table perfectly flat with the larger table.

Thank you. I'm glad to hear it gave you some ideas. I hope you get to make something similar soon.

Great workbench. Well thought out and versatile with a place for multiple tool. Would be overkill for my needs. I like the large work surface but I would only be needing the table saw and miter saw. I'm thinking though I could build a bench like that and add the other tools later. I have a small shed turned shop so I'd build mine to fold up against a wall. Very good work and video.

[@phillipreborn]

Sounds good. thanks for watching.

Slick as hell man. No square inch wasted. 👌🏼

[@phillipreborn]

Thanks man!

[@jamesspratley3634]

Great design and build. Admire your freehand router work. Magnetic vacuum connection very clever.

[@phillipreborn]

Thank you. 👍

[@GentleGiantFan]

All those tools in such a small space...and mobile too! Very impressive! Nice 4Runner too!

[@phillipreborn]

Thanks! 👍

I had to chuckle a little when you said I only have a two car garage for a workshop (wish I did). Appreciate the video and love the bench. Hope you have turned out some awesome projects. Thanks.

Great job. I love the vac system especially the diy flap gates.

[@phillipreborn]

Thank you. They weren't too hard to build and are working fine for me still.

[@MarcoACasco]

Man !!!! what a job !!!! You could well be an architect !!!! Congrats !!!!

[@phillipreborn]

Thank you!!!

This does a great job of identifying a solution to a common problem. Now imagine if one of the major tool companies took this and ran with it? They could do things you can’t like put the dust collection ports in a good location and really integrate. If they were smart it would be somewhat modular starting with the table saw, bench, and dust collection and add on from there.

[@phillipreborn]

that would be cool..

[@asellers98]

You have real skills to get all the doors to work so good and still for a level surface.

[@phillipreborn]

Thanks!

[@jonperley7304]

Well done! I'm so happy my shop is 24' × 20' and it's still not big enough LOL!

[@phillipreborn]

Thank you! 👍

[@wayneblythe5713]

I built similar blast gates and also had to add a bolt to keep it from closing on itself. I glued a wing nut to the top of the bolt head to make it easier to open and close. Nice build 👏🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

[@phillipreborn]

Thank you and thanks for the idea.

The smaller the shop the more important it is to make a workbench like this. My shop is 10' x 20'. With a full size table saw, full size bandsaw, 8,000 lb benchtop surface planer, large drill press, and a 3' x 7' assembly/workbench I had to learn how sidestep any time I entered tha shop. No fun, I couldn't even walk around my old workbench/table saw off feed unit. Since my shop was about 18" off the ground I was able to position my shop vac and dust collector outside my bench, the main hose running under the shop to a diy plenum that was connected to each new benchtop tool, my table saw, and my router table which was built to fit between the arms of my table saw fence. I plugged all my tools into an automatic vacuum switch. The diy plenum has 6 blast gates mounted to it's top side, no debris to block the gates. I can rip full sheet plywood or 8'+ lumber and have off feed support for router, table saw, surface planer and miter saw, neat.

[@phillipreborn]

Sounds good.

[@GKganesan]

Excellent. Learned a lot!. Hello from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia!

[@phillipreborn]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@Qwickset]

This is phuquing brilliant! I love this! Such ingenuity. I have a tiny narrow wood shop in my basement that I constantly find myself walking around like a maze. I feel like this is the solution. Thank you for sharing!

[@Qwickset]

I recommend updating the description with your "2 years later" video on the first line. I wouldn't have known it existed if YT hadn't recommended it.

[@phillipreborn]

Glad it was helpful!

[@phillipreborn]

Thanks!

[@Qwickset]

@@phillipreborn My wife might disagree after my lumber shopping. lol

[@Oh6Torch]

The Steve Jobs of table saw workstations!!! Bravo young man.

[@phillipreborn]

Thank you very much!

[@isaiascruz2633]

Truly outstanding idea and well built. Lots of thinking and imagination put into practice. I wish I have the time. You did not say anything about the small Homedepot vacuum. Considering all the connections and lines you have supporting all the tools I don't think it would of had enough suction. You still have he space for a more powerful vac. Thank you for sharing.

[@phillipreborn]

Thank you! Yes, indeed there is room for a more powerful vac. I feel you on the time demands you just got to chip away at it. As you can see from the shirt changes this was over several non consecutive days.

[@shannoncrider6014]

Wow! This table is amazing! And it was incredibly satisfying watching you take such minute care with each step! Bravo!

[@phillipreborn]

Thank you so much!
