[@shishanyu]

the amount of drawers that I get to see in this channel is quite considerable

[@deepsgnips]

It’s a drawer inception

[@junejhunkie]

I’m experiencing drawer envy.

[@DominusFeles]

Is that a drawer conclusion you’re drawing?

[@Jonix2000]

You just need to think outside the box to lessen the very common drawer envy

[@ryandunklee634]

Quite

[@mcrathenn]

Love your videos; I've watched every single one! I'm always so impressed with how much thought you've put into your builds. Would love to see a video about your entire thought process from idea and planning all the way to finished product.

[@fonsbop]

i'm so jealous of you upgrading your own shop with fancy tools. Video's are getting better and better!

[@wannabefunnyman]

Until I found your channel I didn’t see a use for a 3D printer for a woodworker. You’ve completely changed my mind.

[@karasekjh]

I love this blue anodized aluminum. Such a beautiful color.

[@Souurcer]

King of drawers

[@vc8125]

Alex, long time subscriber/follower/watcher. I just want to say great job my boy. I love how your channel isn't just traditional woodworking and incorporate elements of CNC, Lazer Cutting, Metal work. It's like a modern take on DIY projects. It's great you just create jigs / template you need with the cutter when you don't have it. It's so customized. Honestly, someone needs to pick up this man and bring him into design projects. I would love to see you do some collabs with some of the other DIY/Wood/Metal Workers (unfortunately, you're the only one that I watch that is outside of the U.S.). Keep up the goodwork!

[@jackuk4431]

Why do you not have more subscribers!? Your videos are fantastic with incredible attention to detail and your designs are functional, innovative, and beautiful! Keep up the good work.

[@philvale5724]

Probably because he talks to her quickly,

[@abbv2x]

You are a master of taking a simple idea and taking the efficiency and usability to a whole other level! Well done.

[@TSSolutionsPro]

Great design! I love the way you did the side drawers. The compartment where the router is will need sufficient airflow to evacuate the dust. if it is sealed with no airflow except for he opening where the router bit is, will cause a vacuum and will reduce the airflow. If there is problems evacuating the dust from router compartment, try adding air holes at the bottom of the front door. This will allow airflow and help with the dust.

[@NitrogenoxTheQuick]

quite right.

[@portdace85]

Always amazed with your problem solving methodology. This is lit. Love it.

[@chuckgoodwish3897]

Awesome! You are talented and natural.

[@Psychlist1972]

Without any way to get makeup air into the box below, you won't get much dust collection in there. You don't actually want it completely sealed. The opening at the top will provide some, but not much given the diameter of the hose. The rest of this is super cool. I love the build, and how quickly it went together. Nice tilting router, too.

[@The_Ol_Bizzaroo]

So timely! I was up until midnight last night designing a new router table in SketchUp. I'm going to change my design to incorporate some of your ideas. Great video, thanks!

[@thenikspace]

You business plan is unbeatable. You manage to get tools to review for free and then make something around them to sell the plans. Win win!!

[@dduncan221]

Thanks for talking fast and keeping it going. Nice table and we appreciate your share.

[@orilevi026]

Love your channel. it really amusing to see the excitement on your face trough the entire video. Also I really like your down to earth approach about your work and solutions. See you next time!!!

[@mikeyb7263]

Great build! My shop is too small for a dedicated router cabinet so I have mine mounted to the underside of my workbench/table saw discharge. I may try to mimic some of this. Thanks again for the inspiration Alexandre.

[@AlexanderElse]

Beautiful work! I was feeling pretty good about a trim router table I finished building today but this video puts it to shame! Awesome.

[@thedillon]

Havent even watched the whole video yet, and already know its another amazing one!! Keep up the great work Alexandre!

[@j.davidslaugh5761]

I love that the router tilts. Saving on buying bits that have an angle and just using straight bits. That is awesome.

[@bridgetmarques131]

Your videos are so inspirational. Love from South Africa !

[@achappel]

thanks! :)) greetings from norway :)

[@MrMonstamasha]

Woah, went to the link for the router, and I was expecting a high price, but not that high xD (But it's always worth it for a tool you can trust)

[@JCWren]

Yah, sticker shock for sure. But it's not always worth it for a tool you can trust. You have to use it enough to justify it's purpose. I'd be hard pressed to use a router enough to justify it's $1250 cost, plus another couple hundred in the table. And I didn't dig very deeply, but I don't know how many of the accessories that they sent Alexandre are included in that $1250 price.

[@grant3226]

@@JCWren exactly, I can pick up a spindle moulder to do the same thing for that price once converted into NZD - www.machineryhouse.co.nz/W640

[@brunodesrosiers266]

Where is that link? Well, where can we get this combo? Impossible to tell just by listening to him. :(

[@kanedNunable]

yeah they are insanely expensive.

I love how he makes things for the shop to help him make things for the shop. And I know he will be doing a big build for those storage bins on the wall

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

That may very well be the coolest router table I've ever seen. Great job!

[@frankierzucekjr]

You're one clever, talented guy. Well done buddy. Great work thinking ahead and getting everything done flawlessly

[@whocen]

The red handles makes the entire thing look awsome.

[@EnsignLovell]

You are a true inspiration... I want to make a 90 degree ratcheting screwdriver now. Also that new router is looking amazing on that table, can't wait to see what you do with it. :)

[@raffaelesala992]

as always a great project and a wonderful realization. Chapeau 👏👏👏👏

[@user-eu3ri4in3x]

*Starting to change out all my corded tools to cordless and the **MyBest.Tools** are excellent.I just recently used it to router hinges for a 4 sets of doors with no issues and still plenty of power left (used a 3ah battery).Great visibility at the cutting area also.*

[@MCsCreations]

Pretty fantastic work, Alexandre! 😃 It looks and works amazingly! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@FatClumsyGoat]

You could release 40 new videos tomorrow and I’d watch all of them! I can’t get enough!!

Not so long time passed before table top gets utilized in new project! 👍 Router cabinet looks cool, especially, with blue anodized aluminum.. Great job!

This guy is so much more energetic than udder woodworking channels.

[@iPodtouchhackern]

Router table main v1. Impressive that it's the first version 😂

[@achappel]

haha, must have gotten lucky this time :P

[@JonaCorrea]

You can start from v0.1 so when it's the release you make the v1

[@mprojectstechnologies6424]

Thank's Alexander for your continue inspirations...

[@cwl_creations]

This chanel is so underrated

[@002seleena]

I'm used to larger, corded routers kzbin.infoUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.

[@willaiml]

I love this project!!

[@TECsta76]

Agreeable quality going on here!!! 🧰🤜👍🏻

[@crztrn1]

I love that table saw 🥰

[@fredmartinez933]

amazing router table..

[@TheRipdub]

Finally! You got a router table!

[@80fran0dt08]

Very nice! Just wish those door handles were blue 🤭

[@gu4xinim]

Right?! It would match with the router parts.

[@airplane312]

I actually saw this when it was 3 minutes live on KZbin and now it shows 23 minutes which is correct when you do the math. When I get good in wood working this probably be my next purchase.

[@syedsulaiman8380]

0:08 No, I dont know anything I just saw a notification and clicked cause it's a alexandre chappel video

[@1997mo1]

Looking good!

[@GimmeMonie]

So well done 👏 👏 👏

[@KimbrellBrad]

That's a great setup! I imagine there is over $1,800 in the router, lift, fence, track, etc. but it will be worth it for those of us that can afford it! I have an old New Yankee Workshop table that I built 30 years ago that does fine but no lift, no tilt, no sizzle LOL. Beautiful job on the table!

[@makewithmegma]

Amazing work as always🔥💕😍👍

[@jbs7926]

Man excellent work 👌👍

[@71luxor71]

Alltid like hyggelig å se på dine nyttige produksjoner, Alexandre. 👏

[@elliotstokes6134]

Super cool

[@AustNRail]

Great looking table. Dust collection should be mounted on the bottom of the back and you will need air flow so some holes in the door top will make your dust collection actually collect dust.

[@Creative_Electronics]

Amazing video!

[@marsgizmo]

love how the Table came out!

[@whiteflag2366]

Very cool!

[@AlphaMachina]

Brilliant!

[@genaroromeronue3771]

Super cool!

[@achappel]

thanks :)

[@KepaTairua]

Just a suggestion for your dust extraction, perhaps the hole in the back of the cabinet could have been toward the bottom instead of at the top? That way any heavier dust/chips which would fall to the bottom would have a better chance of getting sucked up?

[@JohnPatersonAu]

Yes, I saw a similar router table build where there was quite a lot of dust/chips that fell to the bottom and didn't get sucked up.

[@Daniel-yc2ur]

So cool

[@toolhub6035]

Awosome work super.

[@lesterpilar3095]

Best ads ever!

[@GtsAntoni1]

Awesome video, awesome project. Love everything about this, except those handles. Grey would've looked way better imo. Still stunning though, and clever.

You've inspired this digital yuppie (software engineer) to make something with my hands for once.

[@kutncure]

Alexandre, I love your video and I am love your router table plans…consider having the plans in both metric and FPS for the American that r to lazy to convert for metric to inches. ?… I think your dust collection contained collection box are really practical ,smart but so simple . Keep posting …I will be watching. Kutncure

If you keep making all these fantastic benches, I'm going to have to buy a new place to hold it all. My home shop is getting crowded. ;)

[@jeffreyvelthuis9245]

The way i found out that you aren't american is that your dewalt tools use 18v instead of 20v. Great English man! Greetings from Holland

[@007Greenalien]

This is a great video. I do have a question regarding your drawer slides for the vertical drawers for the bits. You have a link, but the drawer slides do not bend, allowing you to screw into the board on the top and bottom. What is the type of drawer slides you are using in your video? I would like to get the same ones.

[@anderssrheim1404]

Hi, Would the router table really be better to do those big chamfers on with that kind of setup? On a tall piece it would be equally wobbly and not having that perfectly vertical or 90 degrees to the table will cause poor results, especially with those narrow edges remaining. Might I suggest a super wide flattening bit, and lay the board with the bottom down? Only thing is that it tilts the wrong way in respect to the fence, but that should be an easy fix.

[@somke]

What paint color / paint type did you use over that MDF? It looks fantastic, didnt you need to apply any wood sealer before?

[@josemiguelmanuelbajon1169]

Hola desde Los Alcazares ( Murcia ) ESPAÑA estas hecho un artista, me gusta como te expresas y como y que bonito realizas los trabajos, ya me gustaria tener todas las herramientas que tienes incluido la impresora 3D, un saludo majete.................

Great project Alex! Where can I get hold of the hose you're using?

[@epiczebra8476]

Bro! Love your work 👌🏽👌🏽 I have a question. What kind of paint did you use to paint the mdf? It looks so smooth.

[@TheOuami]

Hi Alex ! Thanks for your video :) Why did you choose the Kreg fence over Sauter fence ? any advice so far ? Thank you very much !

[@zacharytribou2728]

I have bad ocd that has gotten worse recently but this video satisfies it nicely, and I just love organization so this channel helps alot, thank you

[@jalechavez6042]

Genial ....!!!...ji ji ji... Saludossss

[@ff-xu8sw]

I would put a 2nd dust collector hole at the bottom, so that it can suck up heavier dust, wich doesn't get sucked up by the upper hole, and prevents your workshop of dust, when jou open it.

[@nevergiveup621]

this guy is good..

[@beatdownjar]

Awesome build! That's a pretty sweet router lift but I couldn't imagine paying $1,200 for something like that :o

[@jarodmorris611]

Get plans from Matthias Wandel for his tilting router lift. It's pretty awesome and "slightly" cheaper.

[@guillaumetourbier]

Really nice, I'm thinking of something like it but I'm lookig for these kind of flexible vacuum hose and can't find great one. All I found is too "hard", any link ? :)
