Best Drill Press Table

[@dpmakestuff]

Enjoy this video? Fantastic! Do me a favour and follow me on Instagram - @dpmakestuff. I do giveaways and you get to see what I'm working on every day. Thank you!

[@canedobrazil3209]

Thanks 4 vídeo...

[@SparkeyDogfish]

There is lots of drill press table plans and ideas on the net. This is the simplest, easy to build, functional, no BS and most elegant I have ever seen! Great video also! Great job!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks very much!

[@mcnultyfp]

I work until I'm tired, then lie down and get exhausted watching high energy work videos! Can't get no relief. Beautiful design on your drill table. Have to make it. Not tonight...

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks!

[@hollysmith562]

Great drill press table I started building mine today and I've been stuck trying to figure out how to fasten it to my old craftsman drill dress. But I'm glad I seen this video I will use the small blocks and screws. Such a simple fix thank you

[@eherlitz]

One of the better designs I've seen, I really like the simplicity!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks Eric!

[@thicknight1]

So important to be organized! Nice work.

[@Scrivscribe]

Very clever! I learnt quite a few tricks in this video! The drawer knobs was my favourite though. Laughed at the end :)

[@dpmakestuff]

haha! Thank You!

[@GregsGarage]

Fantastic idea! I really like the custom turned pulls.

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks! I was on the fence about even showing that but people seem to like it!

[@ArcticFlies56]

Very nice job. Always good to have draws next to a tool you use all the time.

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

I'm a new subscriber and a big fan of your work! Your videos are very "Diresta" like in the production way - no talking and fast forwarding. I'm sure he is flattered that more and more You Tubers are copying his style though you have your own flare. The builds are interesting and leave the watcher wanting your plans. I can't wait to go through the rest of your build video's. Thank you for teaching me about the varied subject matter from this a drill press table build to secret compartment boxes made out of exotic woods. A Fan~Dolly

[@chaldeani6884]

Wow! Great job! Love watching you work!

[@joser1219]

Very nice build and easy too.

[@compdude551]

I'm very impressed by the whole build. I especially like how efficiently you made the drawer pulls!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks very much! I'm new on the lathe and am always looking for an excuse to use it!

[@ddzahn]

EXCELLENT video!!! I love the quick pace!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks a lot!

[@WildmanTech]

That is nicely done and solves several problems. I'll think about making one, but oily metal shavings don't seem the best fit for that top. I can always use a steel top though.

[@dpmakestuff]

Yeah that would work! Or you could create a replaceable top with some hardboard or MDF set on top of some 3/4" plywood. Thanks for watching!

[@bennasanet4873]

Beautiful this project! I like !!

[@ehaeselich]

Another great video and build!! 👍🏾👍🏾

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks!

[@lpncal]

I'm like, "Why is he breaking out the router?". Then I saw all that work put in to make knobs....KNOBS!! My hat is off to you sir. Beautiful build.

[@tomklar9584]

lathe

[@JackbenchWoodworking]

Nice table. I like how you made the knobs for the drawers.

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks!

[@revealingfacts4all]

man I really enjoy your creativity... all of it. the wood working and the video editing, everything... nice!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks for watching! I appreciate the kind words!

[@robertbrunston5406]

Most Awesome drill press table I ever seen! Thank you.

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks for watching!

[@VansWorld]

Great project build😁👍

[@TheEndlessVariables]

I'm really starting to wonder what it is about Canadians and DIY projects, so many channels about woodworking and general DIY are hosted by Canadians. Great build!

[@dpmakestuff]

Cold weather and killer exchange rates. We need to keep busy and improvise! Thanks very much!

[@coffield1961]

I had problems finding the plans. What are the dimensions of the working surface? Thanks....👍😃

[@Fiskekakemannen]

The size you need it to be is my guess...

[@dpmakestuff]

The plans are on my website and everything else is in the description

[@MichhSara]

Beautiful this project! I like it!! clean and complete ! You 've earned my subscription to your channel !! good job!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks!

[@tommie293]

That looks easy enough that I believe even my wife could do it. I'm going to try to get her out in the garage tomorrow because I really want one of those tables. Great vid--Thanks for sharing.

[@dpmakestuff]

Very simple and easy to modify for your needs! Thanks very much and good luck!

[@MichaelLawing]

Lots of great techniques in here. I particularly like the knob-making process. Good stuff!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thank you! The lathe is so freaking fun I can't help but use it for everything now!

[@MichaelLawing]

+Dustin Penner no kidding! I still need a chick and some kind of sharpening solution, but I'm in love with turning.

[@MichaelLawing]

+Michael Lawing or chuck. #autocorrect

[@dpmakestuff]

I have the Oneway Talon that Rockler sent me. I'm no expert, but I love it!. No sharp edges and very well made. I also need to figure out a sharpening solution as I start to acquire more traditional tools

[@robertray432]

This is one of the best ideas Ive seen in a long time

[@couchpotatoe244]

You make drawer making look easy! they are my kryptonite

[@daveyJ213]

Fantastic! Watching you is dangerous, because it makes me think I can actually do some of things you do. With my beginner skills it's just not gonna happen, but thanks for the inspiration. I definitely need a drill press table, even for my small bench top unit.

[@dpmakestuff]

haha! Thanks very much!

[@KitoMarchetaria]

This is a very interesting Project, thank's for sharing Dustin ! 👍

[@jokeal3613]

This video was peaceful and interesting, thanks.

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks!

[@Retroweld]

This is one of those....Why didn't I think of that? Ideas. Brilliant!

[@dpmakestuff]

I don't remember seeing anything like it, but in saying that, 45 people are sure to say it's been done! Thanks man! Appreciate it!

[@JR-jq6dd]

I really enjoyed the commentary! Good job.

[@dpmakestuff]

J R there wasn’t any commentary.

[@JR-jq6dd]

My point entirely. We got to watch seven minutes of your talent rather than listen to someone explain why they used this or that saw blade for a half hour.

[@eln74]

Nice project, tnx for sharing it!!!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks for watching!

[@DavidIngram]

Yes! I can't wait to implement something like this for my standing press.

[@arboristBlairGlenn]

Clever ending to a well made production and project

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks very much!

[@williambranham6249]

beautiful job, in every respect.

[@lylekobberstad8571]

Nice build as usual.

[@mariolombardi3864]

Great job! Good idea. I need to make one.

[@winmichaels3288]

NICE BUILD

[@49Freds]

Very cool....I am wondering ....if you use oil when drilling metal, how does the affect your table top ...It is a very cool built though '

[@dpmakestuff]

It doesn't happen very often, but I would just put some scrap wood on top for dirty work. Thanks!

[@daveyJ213]

Dude! You are a magician. Where did you get those wood screws you used to attach the drawer handles. I nearly ruined my work bench build because of inferior screws that Bench Crafted sent me. I could have used exactly those. Thanks.

[@johnedwards1968]

What a clever way to make pulls.

[@Offshoreorganbuilder]

Interesting, entertaining, and very professional production. Thanks!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks very much!

[@CynicalDad81]

Love the editing style.

[@GunnerAl9]

How do you adjust the height of the table with the cabinet blocking the hand crank? It looks awesome!

[@dpmakestuff]

GunnerAl9 nothing is blocked. Thanks.

[@robertogrillo1215]

Ja ja ja ja increíble muy buena mesa !!!!! Saludos desde Uruguay!!!!

[@EricInTampaAcoustic]

I just fell in love all over... your work just got you another subscriber

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks! Appreciate it!

[@MichaelDavis-nn5yj]

Very good video. Very good to watch. All the best Michael from Australia.

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks Michael!

[@leapinglemurcraftworks6426]

Lots of good things in this build. Great job! I'll keep those knobs in mind once my lathe is set up. Scott

[@dpmakestuff]

I make no claim thats the best way to make knobs haha! Best way I could come up with though! Thanks!

[@robinlearmonth6299]

Nice table, have you put any dust extraction on it

[@Twansaxstudent11190]

Awesome project! I love those pulls! Also, I just noticed that you had almost 80k subscribers now, congratulations!!

[@dpmakestuff]

Yes! Thank you! This past year has been a crazy ride to say the least.

[@Twansaxstudent11190]

I bet! It is much deserved, thank you for sharing your videos and projects!

[@HugoAlfredoOrdonezCh]

Muy completo. Gracias.

[@GunnerAl9]

Two questions. One, does the design hinder or block the raise/lowering of the table hand crank on the right rear side? Two, dust collection below the table top, doesn't all the lower dust and chips fall into the top center drawer? I love the design and the added table top; however, I think you could have built your own table top that meets your needs. The one thing I like about that table top LeeValley is the arm extensions that come out from it. I do long pieces and those arms help a great deal but if I had planned my shop layout a little better I could have used my table saw outfield table as support for my drill press. Two thumbs up...I'm following your channel now. Great job!

[@dpmakestuff]

GunnerAl9 thanks. No it doesn’t hinder movement up and down but it is a little heavier. No the dust doesn’t go into the drawer. I wish I would have just used a piece of 3/4mdf for the top with no t tracks. A big flat table would be infinitely better.

[@barryroberts6470]

Brilliant build and Video, it is similar to a Jay Bates one he did years ago, yours however I did enjoy the best, and love the idea of doing those draw handles instead of buying some handles. Well Done, Barry (from England)

[@dpmakestuff]

I didn't know Jay did one like this! I avoided googling it so I wouldn't be influenced! I'll go check his out, thanks!

[@barryroberts6470]

It was ages ago but if you do find it on KZbin let me know what you think, I still prefer your version much better. Well Done again. Barry.

[@ToSaLignea]

Sehr schöne Arbeit!

[@АльбертДобрыйтатарин]

Это просто супер стол!👍 Молодец,подал отличную идею и для моего сверлильного станка.))

[@theVonThompsons]

nice work man! your shop is amazing!

[@refrigeration304]

WOW this is the best drill press table. Awesome

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks very much! I love it!

[@nsanerydah]

DP is that a narrow crown stapler or a finish nailer you are using to hold everything together? What size narrow crown staples or brad nails do you use?The project looks great. I like how you gave us more information about using 2 sheets of 1/2" plywood as an alternative to the table you used. Thanks!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks! They are brad nails and I don't remember the size. 18 Gauge if I had to guess and whatever length doesn't poke through!

[@nsanerydah]

Thank you for the immediate response! Keep up the work. Just getting started myself and looking to grab a Jet 15" bench mounted drill press. Hoping to make something similar to what you made.

[@LutherBuilds]

Very cool video and project. When I find a permanent place for my drill press, I'm going to build this. All of my drill bits are never in one place.

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks!

[@dman81032]

great job! why does it look like you run you SawStop table saw in both directions? does it matter when your cutting your pieces?

[@dpmakestuff]

Dennis Kelley thanks. Not sure what you mean by both directions.

[@dman81032]

Dustin Penner looks like you are working on both side of your table saw. pushing the wood into the blade from both ways. does the way the blade spin make a difference? might just be camera angles!

[@JeffreyHallHomestead]

I think he was just working on the other side of his fence.

[@GiacoWhatever]

Man I love your vid sooo much!!!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks Giaco! The feeling is mutual!

[@mackelman1]

that ending got you a like and sub. well done.

[@dpmakestuff]

haha! Thank you!

[@alainvaudou]

your videos are always good ! thumbs up !

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks!

[@sonotfunnyman]

Once again, well done.

[@ronalddean4834]

Great job 👍. What was your actual build time. I'm going to give a try I like it. You make it look simple I'll find out. Thanks for the video yes I'm subscribing.

[@danhale4926]

Outstanding work! Great video!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks!

[@salvatoresalvio204]

GRAN BEL VIDEO. OTTIMA LA REALIZZAZIONE. COMPLIMENTI. SALUTI SALVIO

[@rockfloyd4630]

Good way to say "Thank you for watching" in the end. From my side, thank you for this video, Dustin. You are great! From Brazil.

[@vulcanville]

Hey I'd like to make that this spring. Way back when I threw something together for a drill press stop it interfered with the little handle behind there that lowers and raises the table. I have to pull if forward, then turn the handle. I couldn't find the design on your web page, just curious how you fixed that.

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks very much! Plans are in the store and I had no issues with clearances.

[@MichaelHaskin]

I may have blinked and missed it but is the top only held on with glue? Unless there is some trick, I've always struggled with just glue on anything

[@dpmakestuff]

You must be using the wrong glue! Fully cured wood glue is stronger than the wood.

[@dpmakestuff]

There are tricks to glue no things together. You have to consider different methods depending on the type of wood, the wood grain, expect use, etc.

[@lovefist208]

very neat job, how hard is it to wind up with the drawers fully loaded?

[@fubarfrank74]

First time in your channel. Very impressed, you got yourself a sub.

[@FighterAceee94]

That seems like a lot of weight for a flimsy table clamp that comes with these kinds of drill presses. How much table deflection can you measure on yours?

[@mikecarlisle4093]

How is the clearance for the table height adjustment crank?

[@jackdotzman2908]

Very well done, nice video. JD/Missouri

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks very much!

[@za20081217]

nice work man

[@angelasheppard7197]

gonna pass this one along

[@ugoleftillgorite]

Nice! I wish drawer making was that quick for me! Will that center drawer end up full of shavings?

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks! I like to think that all the drawers will end up full of shavings. The center one will only fill up if you drill through the replaceable block which wouldn't happen under normal use.

[@ugoleftillgorite]

+Dustin Penner Gotcha, yeah that makes sense. I project the dirtyness of my shop onto other people haha.

[@JossFox]

Great video! the end song is from the game gish which i really loved

[@BlueBustard]

Great video. I love that there is no chatter and prattle.

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks!

[@MidwestManMountain]

I love your work!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks!

[@zwaeglink2066]

Lovely work, inspiring!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thank you!

[@joser1219]

how's the table holding? seems heavy for just using glue and brad nails. awesome design though.

[@dpmakestuff]

Jose Lamar the glue does all the work and is more than strong enough.

[@joser1219]

One more question. Are the gaps for the drawers to fit them perfectly in the box around 1/16" each of the four sides? Also, I can't see the plans in your website. It's not there. I click on the pictures but nothing happens.

[@dpmakestuff]

1/16 on each side would be 1/8 total and that would make for sloppy drawers. I like to get them fitting tight and lightly sand them to make them slide nice. I just double checked and the plans are there and available. Thanks

[@joser1219]

I see what is going on. The plans cannot be seen on my phone but I can see them on my laptop. Weird.

[@danawise5592]

Great idea!!, is that a clamp table top?

[@MikeSmith-hg6hs]

Does the middle drawer fill up with dust and shavings?

[@dpmakestuff]

No more than the other drawers in my woodshop.

[@TruckJohnson]

How many takes did you have to do to get the drill press to stop in the right place?

[@dpmakestuff]

30+

[@Markus__B]

+Dustin Penner Just filming the sign, turning on the Drill and editing it to run backwards would have saved you 29+ tries, LOL Great Video again. I never liked Drill Press tables but i think i should rethink it.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Cool cabinet. How many takes did it take to get that last bit with the sign? ha ha

[@dpmakestuff]

30+ tries haha! Thanks

[@nordishkiel5985]

Oh my, i thought you just ran the video backwards after starting the drillpress from the desired "stop" position... But now that i think about it, the motor probably starts a lot faster than it stops...

[@dpmakestuff]

It didn't take long. I had a stick to poke the drill press on and off. maybe 2-3 minutes to get the shot!

[@michaelm24_7]

great build! Will you do a video of its functionality? (using the rails etc)

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks. The rails are for the fence and a hold down clamp. Nothing really to talk about there.

[@CPBuilds]

I was hoping one of the drawers would've had a secret compartment lol. Nice build.

[@dpmakestuff]

Missed opportunity! I thought about it last night as I was finalizing everything haha! Thanks!

[@brooksbaker3470]

Is it worth it to glue end grain on ply wood?

[@dpmakestuff]

Oh yeah! As long as you use the right glue and dont over clamp it.

[@supercow61]

Hi , where can I get the screw that you use on the knobs ?

[@ajsv100]

Very good. Thank you.

[@stephenwhittier6439]

Nice job, enjoyed the video but, I don’t do Instagram !

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Well done! Were the drawer boxes out of prefinished ply?

[@dpmakestuff]

Yeah I found a bunch of scrap pre finished ply in a dumpster and it was the perfect size to cut the drawers out of. Thanks very much!

[@tooljunkie555]

nice everything looks really solid

[@dpmakestuff]

I think its a winner haha! Thanks!

[@tooljunkie555]

Dustin Penner definitely..lol🖒🖒

[@tooljunkie555]

Dustin Penner definitely..lol🖒🖒
