How to Build my Ultimate Drill Press table!

[@scott98390]

My friend, I cannot get over how breathtakingly beautiful your shop is. Your videos are great, but I often have to rewind to listen again because I was looking at the shop.

[@neelamharia4225]

One of the best drill press tables I have seen. I do like your presentation methods. You’re a great inspiration to all. Please keep it up.

[@chiyookeynes3007]

This press has worked like a charm for my projects kzbin.infoUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . I didn't even secure it to my table top, mainly due to the fact that I was using a 15 lbs drill vise. It's not flimsy at all as to what others have claimed it to be. Make sure the locking nuts and levers are secured and there won't be any issues with light pressure and patience. I was able to drill through aluminum, plastic, and steel (steel took a while) with no problems at all. Yeah it took a little longer than a regular drill press, but I don't have the space OR the money for one.The instruction manual was worthless, but luckily assembling the press was intuitive. However, the manual would be good for ordering replacement parts if needed. There is a nice breakdown of the parts that are included in the kit. Before ordering, make sure it is compatible with your unit, it is clearly stated what models the press is compatible with.This was an excellent purchase for $40!!

[@frederickmichaud6783]

You have every right to be proud, that is a beautiful press table! I love the continuity between the pieces you create with the mix of the plywood and the full coloured mdf.

[@b3arwithm3]

The groove under the drill plate was really creative 👍

[@GNU_Linux_for_good]

There aren't many with that level of high precision and craftsmanship, and even every tool in your shop is of supreme quality. Same applies for the video production.

[@matthewbellamy486]

Greetings from Nottinghamshire (UK). Only stumbled across your channel yesterday and have watched many of them already! I love the precision you work to and your clarity when explaining. I share also your desire to make things which are aesthetically pleasing as well as practical. I'm a huge fan of Peter Millard's channel (and his MFT style of working) so was interested to see you link up with him. I've woodworked for maybe 3yrs now and am about to redesign my current double garage workshop to get more organised. I find often my setup time is far too long for simple tasks, leading me to cut corners (which I always regret). Watching your content is helping me greatly understand what I want in my tool shop and how I want it organised. Please keep the videos coming!

[@kellyojanen8168]

sir, you are next level on your workmanship!! that is so nice to see people caring that much about what they make

[@AvalancheDesignIE]

What I love most about your work is the attention to detail. Just because it's for the shop doesn't mean it has to look basic. Gr8 work.

[@Workshop-900]

I love your attention to detail, and your attitude reminds me of the saying: “if a job is worth doing, it’s worth doing well”. Many thanks.

[@MrPatdeeee]

WOW! Kind Sir...as always, you have made yet another "GEM"...as you are. It's awesome. Thank you much, for what you share with us. in other words, when most think of it; YOU have forgotten it! WOW!

[@rickshriber4440]

By far the best drill press table I've see on KZbin. The fence is greatest idea going. Great video. Now I'll have to make one, sure beats what I have now.

[@nigelwarner1497]

That is a lesson in how to make something not only perform its task, but look fantastic too...very inspirational 👏

[@bloke875]

Hi Dennis, for me this was a very enjoyable watch and as an instructional build video, well it was just perfect. Thank you and I hope there are many more project how to build videos in the future,

[@chriskeeble]

Superb work. Really enjoying your videos, your designs, the techniques and products you share, and your video style. Great stuff.

[@TolicaCanadian]

Thank you Dennis. I enjoyed every moment of this build video.

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

Useful design. It's feature packed, solid, accurate, adjustable and classy at the same time. 👍

[@nigelb4318]

Excellent product that you have created, and I particularly appreciated the how to and the why of the production process. Very impressive workshop you have now with some real state of the art equipment. Thanks for the time and effort you obviously spend in making such detailed videos .

[@davidkelly1634]

Great job. Enjoyed the pace of the video and the format.

[@LostWhits]

Fantastic table. Your repeatability with stop blocks regardless of the distance from edge is awesome.

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic work, Dennis! 😃 Thanks for all the tips! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@bradleytuckwell4881]

Your attention to detail is phenomenal thanks for bringing as along for the ride it was amazing to watch

[@DirkieB]

Ah yes. Thanks for the explanation about the *second* row of holes in combination with a stop block on you drill press fence! That makes sense then! Such a perfectionist! But the results are amazing! Also I think you're the first person I've ever seen putting MDF through a thicknesser :)

[@porthose2002]

Very cool design, Dennis. Thanks for sharing!

[@david-iam]

Always amazing quality to your work and presentation. Pacing of video is not slow or boring at all. Appreciate the additional thoughts and comments as it’s a great springboard for evolving and personalizing. Additionally, kudos for somehow managing to have high quality commenters. Many KZbin videos have trolls in the comment section. But yours seem to be full of intelligent and thoughtful netizens. That’s a rare breed to find online. :)

[@HookedonWood]

Thanks for your comment, feels very good to read😀

[@timstratton9]

Without question, one of the best Drill Press table's out there... one I will likely replicate. The result is a really nice piece of shop furniture. Thanks for sharing.

[@rickflournoy7556]

Great table build. I'll be replicating your design. Thank you!

[@meingalaxy2385]

Very nice and accurate work. I like the black MDF with the Rubio finish. Very nice. Also want one now :-)

[@bundylam]

your meticulous approach to everything you make is an inspiration to us all. Thank you very much.

[@truthserum5202]

Well done and very professional looking.

[@davekirkpatrick5335]

Excellent work, I really appreciate your attention to detail. I just found your channel and really liked this video. I look forward to watching more of your work.

[@bbkillen]

Love your videos Dennis. Keep them coming.

[@grahamlucas6033]

Nice work Dennis, what you say at the end of the video is so true, you have to look at your creations every day in your work. having them as good as you can get them is a daily reminder that will prompt you to only do better. thank you

[@colinwilson8747]

What a magnificent addition to your drill press table. Loved the bottom layer which allows it to be slid onto the existing table. Always thought the round removable insert was the best idea, you improved on that with the dust slots underneath. So many brilliant adaptions which make it totally functional in so many ways. Only feature that the Woodpecker Drill Press table has are the sliding extension arms and the drawer underneath. Such Quality Craftmanship. Thanks for sharing.

[@SeanSchade]

Everything you build is 🔥

[@geoffreyderudder3592]

Very Nice work! Perfection! I've been following almost from the start and you made a lot of progress! Keep it up!

[@jstewart3070]

You are master craftsman, beautiful work

[@russkellogg8189]

You are a master craftsman and your videos are always an inspiration and a joy to watch. Thank you for taking the time to share your expertise.

[@themplar]

very nice video. And wow what a build. I'm nowhere near this level. And still slowly getting the tools, very very slowly. But its fun and thats what is most important.

[@kentneil7100]

You're wisdom and insight is impeccable.

[@gmelhop]

Great work Denis, as always thanks for sharing. Now off the the shed I go to keep working on my mitres/drill press workbench.

[@juanitaowen6999]

As always Dennis, a great project and a well prepared and edited video. Cheers...

[@majenness]

Well done Dennis. Your videos are always informative. I always get new ideas when I watch them.

[@kiwisparkey]

What a beauty Dennis!! It looks great and is very practical!! 👏🏻

[@branchandfoundry560]

Brilliant design, Dennis. Thank you for producing this video AND plans to share with us! You're a fine example of leadership in this community. Best, Andrew Thiessen

[@irondestinyprops]

Excellent craftsmanship! Thank you for the inspiration and the polished video production.

[@DannyvdB]

Wow Dennis how accurately and beautifully made. Chapeau. Always a pleasure seeing you put so many effort in making something extraordinary.

[@julesmo1]

Awesome video and what a beautiful piece you made, great job

[@takebakker8493]

Great video Dennis! The format is really working for me, I like the detailed information and presentation. Would love to see more of this style from you .

[@MarcoRyan]

Great video Dennis - the pace is excellent; the options of different ways to do things really helpful. As ever, the effect mix of inspiration, perfection and motivation. Thank you for the time and effort you put into not just your projects but also in the video editing. Really high quality content as ever.

[@Colt-4570]

Coming up in a machine shop environment, I appreciate the care and precision your projects are made with. Love the videos. I also love the look of the black MDF.

[@josephflint9902]

the black MDF is beautitul. You are VERY VERY good at what you do Thanks

[@peterclahsen1179]

Hey Dennis, thank you for sharing the concept, all the tips and advice, and the PDF of the table! I really enjoyed watching this video, and the format and pacing, together with the information included was really well done. Thanks again :)

[@ederorellana9919]

You are the best Dennis! Thank you for sharing your great skills with us. The black MDF gives it an elegant look, it’s too bad it’s so expensive here in the USA.

[@lancemorgan651]

Great video and amazing detail, looks fantastic too

[@caisiebreen2931]

Wow. Absolutely fantastic.

[@TheBonbenk]

Thank you Dennis, I've got a lot of new insight from the video. I hope you and your loved ones stay healthy and happy.

[@james_860]

Dennis, As always you hit this one out the park.. great job thanks.

[@davidhuggett9748]

Thanks for taking the time to make the video and explain your choices. Your work always looks amazing and so accurate. Great work. Thanks :)

[@Forest_Finest]

Very good video. I enjoy your method of introduction and pace. I have subscribed and will be watching/learning more. Thank you!

[@tinkercavedweller]

Great as always! I liked the pace of the video very much, it perfectly shows your attention to detail! Keep them coming! 😃👍

[@markarmstrong2592]

Everything you make is with this why i love your videos cheers Dennis

[@allthegear-noidea1264]

What you make is always amazing Dennis and is a great inspiration to me. Honestly I shamelessly copy most of what you do, at least in part, as I also get much more satisfaction from making things I get pleasure in looking at. I get frustrated with the “it’s only shop furniture” mentality because working in an environment that gives you pleasure affects feeds the other things you make there! I like this more detailed build content as well (did I mention I steal you ideas) as it helps replicate. Please keep up your fantastic work!

[@HookedonWood]

Thanks for your comment! Love to read it!

[@arkhan69]

Thanks for this great video ! I think it was in great demand after people - myself included - saw your last one. 🙂 Wonderfully made.

[@bobbyj0708]

Your work is lovely.

[@Stealthbobber06]

Great looking table. I love the fact the you put so much attention in the small details that make that a beautiful tool accessory. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!

[@edreynoldssr8910]

Very nice, will make as soon as possible. Thank you for the dimensions.

[@kevinronald4137]

A most excellent video. Well constructed with a commentary that was clear and concise. Thank you.

[@richardmarquardt6246]

Another beautiful and functional shop project. Well done video. Thanks.

[@davidlanfair]

Oh ya, that is super super nice!

[@royaston3085]

Where woodwork and art overlap - beautiful - many thanks

[@SuperBellalucy]

I thoroughly enjoy your videos - excellent video production values. Further, 😊 you’ve such a wonderful appreciation of aesthetics, even in the smallest details. Bravo🌱Allen

[@mauserkk98]

Love the workshop videos and the design philosophy is spot on ,looking forward to more.

[@anthbarnett]

Nice work Dennis (as always). Much prefer the instructional videos. Keep them coming!

[@ggworks2]

Hi Dennis, I am truly impressed with your precision of woodworking. I must up my game ! The tools that you have are superior, which definitely helps in getting a product that performs and looks good. I would expect this kind of accuracy to more for metalwork and machining! Not only does your projects perform but it very pleasing to look at. Your videos are easy to understand, editing is great. i am just starting out on my KZbin channel but I better give it more care and attention as you certainly do. Keep up your great work and I look forward to viewing more of your projects

[@ianthornton1642]

Beautiful work 👍

[@karenmitchell6814]

That was great. I have been watching a number of these drill press table builds and always wondered why they didn’t put the t-track on the side of the table? I’m glad you chose that approach.

[@jb510]

Enjoying all your videos. So inspiring and helpful too. One thing I'd love to see you talk about in future videos is more about your actual design process. You explain the end result of these designs very well, but not how you got to that point.

[@J.M.Lander]

Thank you Dennis. Great video as always. Once again beautiful drill press table.

[@lucascs26]

Denis we want a full video of shop furniture!!! very good looking!!!

[@illuminant1129]

Excellent work !!!

[@Extragonk]

Really appreciate the extended video and style, was cool seeing you working through the process! It looks amazing.

[@felleywoods]

Thank you Dennis. Interesting thoughts on design, great practical examples of how to make. Inspirational. Now I want to work out how to apply squareness to my router table fence 😉

[@charlessas4138]

Thank you Dennis. I have been looking forward to this video. Great workmanship.

[@paulruud5804]

You always inspire me with your combination of utility, precision, and style. I would stop at utility if not for your videos and I also am much more pleased with the results.

[@HookedonWood]

thanks for your comments. Great to read!

[@steveferguson1232]

Everything you make and it is beautiful and functional. When you are able to combine both its perfect. I love your shop and how you match everything. I like you use my laser to make jigs and you know your dimensions are perfects. Love it

[@danielpaulus4189]

Très bon format de vidéo.

[@paulcooper9187]

like the style of this one

[@pantelismanioudakis2039]

....notification on the phone. u tube:Hooked on Wood upload new video! step 1: prepare black coffee step 2: turn on the computer step 3: I sit comfortably in the chair and watch my favorite channel! I believe that the new way of presentation is even better than before (it's amazing to be honest), but I don't know if it's the best since you always have a way of surpassing yourself and presenting each time something better than the last! You are truly an inspiration!

[@HookedonWood]

Thank you so much for your kind words. Sometimes it is difficult for me to find the inspiration. This kind of comments are so motivating for me. Thank you😏

[@keving8682]

Beautiful!

[@Trooper266]

12:09 I found that the easiest way of cutting those weird angles is with a track saw. You can lay a sheet of wall insulation on top of your workbench to avoid damaging it. Congratulations on the project, great stuff as usual 🤩

[@HookedonWood]

Yeah, you are probably right. Especially with a single cut

[@bowerscustomwoodworkingllc]

Beautifully done once again. Excellent job on the video as always too!

[@mwoody4560]

Awesome. Thanks for details. I might not make an identical table, but I love the ideas and techniques

[@ve2tax]

Amazing work Dennis! I really enjoyed your videos. Your results are always impeccable with a style. I bought your plans and wanna try and build your workbench using black MDF (hopefully I can source it locally). Keep making your videos, I am your biggest fan!

[@paulhume8083]

Beautiful.

[@robertheadrick9752]

very nice work and explanation

[@norm5785]

The drill press table and shelf sure have a wide variety of options. Looks great, love the round removable center I agree the circle has more options for longer usage before replacement is necessary. The dust extraction is a great addition. Black MDF sure does look very nice. Really like the way you square the unit up.

[@Lakersawi]

Amazing work Denis, as usual. I don't know what I like and enjoy more, the product you made or the video itself. Your videos inspired me to redo my workbench with a black MDF top and I love it know. I love it so much that I'm always hesitant to actually use it 😀

[@HookedonWood]

Luckily it is easy to make it beautiful again after some time!

[@Mortow8]

Excellent video. Thank you very much.

[@gpunkt-diy]

Hello Dennis, I love your videos! The type of presentation, the used materials, the precise way you work - everything is absolutely worth seeing and motivating! Please keep going!!! Veel groeten uit Duitsland
