An U̶l̶t̶i̶m̶a̶t̶e̶ Acceptable Drill Press Table

[@josephlaverty4303]

Love the new signoff. I say you make it permanent

[@DB-thats-me]

“Sod off”, absolutely works for me. 😂👍 I hope hope it it drives the PCer’s nuts! 🤩

[@StrawbyteWorkshop]

As you say a drill press table is a whole load of conveniences in one package. And a nice build.

[@peterg8189]

I liked the location of the t-track, perfection! :D

[@gregwyatt4555]

Still using you previous table design for my Bosch PBD40. Does everything I need to and takes up little room in my 6x4m workshop. Love the Viking but really can't justify it. About to make a little vice to go on it mounted similarly.

[@pwknight7]

Nice work again. I use some 20x20, 20x 40, 30 x 30 and 30 x 60 aluminium extrusions for the fence and they work brilliantly. They are connected to the t- track in the same as you have done, even down to the knurled 1/4-20 thumbnuts.

When you were measuring at the beginning, you didn't mention if that was imperial or metric? How on earth can I replicate this build down to the milli-inch if I don't know those details?

[@cobberpete1]

😂🤪

[@CathiiScott]

"Sod off"... not a bad sign off, although I personally like "Jog on"

[@staxlhax1849]

Another for “sod off” perfectly imperfect end to a perfectly mundane video.

[@FixitFingers]

I think I said I was going to build your Baby Bosch Drill Press Table 3 years ago.... I might need to get to that. 😅😅

[@TheWoodKnight]

I'm not mad, James, I'm just a bit disappointed. You don't even have "I don't have a tablesaw" as an excuse now!

[@dainermade]

🤣 hashtag sod! Anyhoo, more importantly I like the tappers you’ll be making on the press

[@TheWoodKnight]

They're getting there! Down here in the south, we experience something called "winter" which is when the warm goes away. It makes it tricky to be in the workshop sometimes!

[@dainermade]

@@TheWoodKnight yeah cold does not sound good to me at all

[@woodfather]

Also, I upgraded the drill press last year but haven't made a new table yet. You're right in that it isn't strictly needed, but I prefer it for the simple reason of, I don't like touching the cold cast iron so I want to feel smooth melamine under my fingers 😆

[@TheWoodKnight]

That sounds perfectly reasonable to me - cast iron at this time of year is uh, particularly unpleasant! Before even firing up the jointer the other day, I leant on the table to get some boards down and then had to go get a hot cup of tea to get feeling back in my fingers 🤣

[@cobberpete1]

I try not to measure if I don't have to. I have a commercial table but don't really use it. Still using my Bosch PBD40, so far no problems with what I need to do. Scrap wood underneath for clean holes. And now I'll Wrack off 🤪

[@TheWoodKnight]

It's a very mundane project, I'm not going to take offense if people need more excitement like a piece of scrapwood to replace it 🤣

[@coolabahwoodworking]

Great now I have to go out and buy a drill press. 😂 great video

[@stuartansell9461]

Perfect sign off! 👌 😂❤

[@scottturner3831]

I didn't exactly size my drill press table, and now all my holes come out square... it's absolutely infuriating.

[@TheWoodKnight]

Think of the money you saved by your mistake - now you don't have to buy a mortiser! 😂

[@iptgeek]

Did you get rid of the Bosch drill press?

[@TheWoodKnight]

I did, yes, a friend now has that. When we moved to the new house I splurged with the extra space we have in the workshop, and because of a few big-boring-projects coming up where the Bosch was showing some issues. I'm only now just starting on the first of those!

[@kpmathis71]

"Sod off" ? I'm confused. Is that a new way to say "touch grass" (get off youtube & and go outside) or "Get off my lawn!"?

[@TheWoodKnight]

I didn't realise it wasn't common outside UK/AU/NZ! "Sod off" is basically "go away"

[@kpmathis71]

​@TheWoodKnight I mostly knew that (was mostly making a bad joke), but thanks for the certain explanation. Love the channel!
