They said we couldn't make a Milwaukee M18 Workbench, and we were like "YOU'RE NOT OUR MOM!" S1E20

Welcome to Episode 20 of #MakerBreak
This week I start building my new workbench and outfeed table for our ‪@MilwaukeeTool‬ Milwaukee M18 Table Saw, and we meet Ethan Abramson from TheBuildwithEthan.
Plus we watch ‪@TheAwesomeOrange‬ build a king sized bed:
• DIY Mid-Century Modern...
‪@achappel‬ make these amazing sawhorses:

@ToolShow the scetchup file shows different lengths for the legs one is 2' 6 1/2" and the other are 2' 5". is this a typo or is that accurate? basically asking so I make sure I have right cuts and that just seems wrong

[@TheAwesomeOrange]

Thanks for the shout-out! You guys rock! 🙌🍊

[@ishaankane8252]

pro tip: watch series on kaldroStream. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies these days.

[@robertrudy4788]

@Ishaan Kane yea, I have been watching on kaldrostream for months myself :)

[@marcoacosta654]

Hi guys! How can I get drawings for this awsome bench?

[@guspachio4977]

How about a link to purchase the feet?

[@diywoodworking7490]

Nice, I made mobile liftable workbench with DEWALT DW745 and DW735 today!

[@thapr12nv]

i have the same table saw, any plans available?

[@ToolShow]

Yup. Next episode.

[@adirymind30]

You probably could have found a threaded rod coupler that's the same size as those adjustable feet, and then just drill a hole in the 4x4 and epoxy or hammer them in.

[@seanpizzo8256]

Couldn't use dado stacks? I'm a novice and would have thought of that.

[@KeithsTestGarage]

Miter Saw Safety Tip (1:38) - Risk of blade rolling the 4x4 above spacer, causing wet pants. At the beginning of each cut (1:46), the teeth are pulling the 4x4 slightly upward. Your particular situation isn't as risky as some, but just a quick note to use a taller spacer when cutting taller wood. Good video as always.

[@ToolShow]

Thanks for the tip! Noted.

[@eoghanfla6343]

Hey Rob, how long did it take you in sketch up to create your drawing? Also have you ever used fusion 360, I’m thinking of trying it. They give you tubers free software for a bit of promotion wink wink

[@ToolShow]

So it didn't take that long Eoghan. Making the scale model of the M18 saw took about 2 hours, but that was more for fun than anything else. I like modeling. The bench took a few hours, but a lot of that is due to my inexperience with bench building. I kept changing my mind on not only the physical structure, but also on how I would assemble it. You'll see next week that I didn't put notches in the legs for the support table for the actual table saw. That's so when it's time to mount it, I can hold it up with clamps, and micro adjust it on all 4 legs until the saw's table top is EXACTLY flush with the bench top itself. It makes the table uglier in my opinion, but I rather have the accuracy. As for Fusion 360, my brother who has been 3D printing several experimental designs for me, asked me to switch to F360 because the 3D printing world (at least his) benefits far more from it. So I'm learning it now. So far, it's almost exactly like Sketchup, and super easy to adapt to. However, I'm not really the guy to tell you to use one over the other. I'm sure there are many videos that dive into that. Thanks for watching!

[@Youallbowdown]

Y’all crazy

[@ToolShow]

Yes. Yes we are.

[@mjackdooley9053]

Looks like the same one from Seth’s Bike Hacks

[@ToolShow]

Yup he built in his Craftsman saw. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnXOkGWJeLt8fLs There are countless videos on youtube of people building benches with built in contractor saws.

[@geographyinaction7814]

Just a small word of advice. I hang all of my levels from one hanging point, all levels have a hang hole at one end. You just have a much smaller chance of ruining your level's straightness.

[@JakeOfALL]

Man that JakeOfALL is one good looking guy!

[@treehouseco4242]

Your funny😃😃👍👍😂

[@BossSpringsteen69]

Second person in my lifetime i've seen named Sara Lee.

[@daveN2MXX]

Great video! But why would anyone build a huge monstrosity of a workbench around a portable battery powered table saw? Just saying....

[@ToolShow]

David Gold budget and portability. We don’t plan on having a shop saw on this show, so like a lot of other people, we’re making the best with what we have!

[@SYBEX21]

Portability of the saw. It can still be put on the factory frame and rolled to a jobsite, with a quick tune up of the fence and blade you can have it back as a "cabinet saw" or that is at least why I build mine to do.

[@grantsdad177]

Whole video seemed like a hart commercial to me

[@ToolShow]

Well, they sponsored the episode! We need sponsors! We chose them as a sponsor because we like their tools, and they're affordable. Our target audience are makers, and not all makers can afford Milwaukee. :)

[@konamanstudio2447]

What am I going to look at I don't understand Sarah what am I looking at am I supposed to open my eyes and look it up and let me know

[@dylnfstr]

Makes a Milwaukee M18 work bench with all Hart tools. Yikes

[@cyrylthewolf]

Your Sketchup file is great. But what EXACTLY are scenes 1-6 in the Sketchup file for? They don't show anything. Only scenes 7-8 show the table and parts.

[@jl9362]

Just seeing the title got me excited to see this since i have the m18 table saw

[@ToolShow]

J L don’t miss next week!

[@ExergameStation]

When science asks can we do it instead of should we

[@juniorsalas3687]

good job guys! love the apron, looks like the one they use at McDonald's :)

[@darealsparky480reyes6]

It took some hart to get that milwaukee bench done

[@andynguyen8493]

where is the 2nd episode?

[@nuclearexplosion5841]

Why did you use mdf I know it's a lot cheaper but plywood is a lot stronger

[@ToolShow]

nuclear explosion good question. It’s flat. Real flat. Also cheap. And when you stack it 3” thick, it’s very heavy and strong. This will be my “shop saw” so I wanted weight.

[@phillipchambers8487]

Yeah, I am gonna copy this Table Build as well, even down to the Adjustable Feet.

[@ToolShow]

The feet are my favorite part. :) We are in a VERY uneven garage, so the wide range of adjustment allowed us to easily level the table. I'll post a link to the Grizzly spare parts with PART 2. (Which goes up tonight at 6pm)

[@gregorylondos534]

Not a bad bench build, that said your video is all over the place.. To much distraction from this other guy... Sorry

[@treehouseco4242]

For some reason this said this is a ad.

[@ToolShow]

Hey TreeHouseCo! You likely saw (and clicked) a promo for our show! It’s just to help more people find our different shows. Did you enjoy this episode? Let us know what you thought. We’d love to earn your sub!

[@treehouseco4242]

Belts And Boxes I love your show always the best and I am subscribed

[@mrpatel8322]

Great bench and design. Can you tell me what Colour’s you used and was it semi gloss - thanks

[@goonboi7292]

Does the m18 table saw allow 120VAC also? Or is it strictly m18 battery powered

[@dctech8692]

No itt doesn't allow 120v ac power, battery only bit the 12ah battery is more than enough power for most projects.. I have that and the 10" miter saw as well..

[@LuisVillalobosYT]

Sweet channel. Cant wait to see the next part. ALSO SARA is gorgeous!

[@JakeOfALL]

Great episode, and you know where to find me if you ever need help!

[@ToolShow]

JakeOfALL thanks again brother. Love the feet!

[@stephenshanks5975]

Love the Ohio State themed outfeed table! O-H

[@ToolShow]

Stephen Shanks I-O

[@waltrcorp]

Are there going to be plans? I'm really liking this table...

[@ToolShow]

Yup! Part 2 goes live at 6pm tonight (6/20/20) and I'm trying to have the plans ready for download by then. If not, tomorrow.
