This is the most space-efficient design in a compact work table that I've seen. Very good engineering on this one. Two things I didn't see that I wondered about are 1) how did you handle the electric feeds for the various tools? Was it integral to the table or did you just use extension cords? and 2) did you integrate any dust collection into the table or, again, just used flex hookups?

I really liked your design, this is an incredible workbench. The thing about flip tops and such is that your project will sit on top of that bench, so you can't work that easily on a project with the tools needing to be flipped up, a separate assembly table might be in order... But I love the design and look of it! And it's good timing for me... I'm about to build a stationary workbench for some stationary tools such as the belt/disk sander, router table, and next to it is the Miter saw (on a Bora flip station) Underneath I've got an Dust Deputy and a 6HP Shop vac where I'll be putting in some blast gates and stuff... I'm repurposing an old solid door for the top. I'm still feeling my way around this home woodworking shop and it's a lot of fun seeing what others have done for inspiration...

It will have a removable top or I may use those hinges you used. I've never seen them before. The planer will be on a platform with a jack underneath. They make an adapter for a scissor jack, then you chuck it into your drill, and away it goes. I love that you have the side hanging tools- very clever. One question- are you worried about sawdust getting into the drawers? A hinged 1/4" piece of plywood woodwork. You could recess the lid by putting a rabbit around the top.

I love those hinges for the pull up tools. Are there hinges like this but that are hidden when the pull up tool is down? I have had this idea to build this type of pull up board with my kitchen aide mixer attched to hide in empty space in corner area. I think I’d have to use both of your pull up board and your flip board in a way. I want, or need, to have the kitchen aide mixer not go to the top of my countertop but be stable enough to be to the side of the countertop but be able to be hidden when in down position. If I use the pull up hinge type of board, it would not have the mixer facing up and to the side of the countertop. I think I would have to also use the flip in some way to have the mixer facing up.

Does the interior area collect a lot of sawdust?

BTW...you have a great sense of humor & timing. Very dry & witty. Thanks again.

Nice build! I like everything about it except that the plywood top isn't very durable? (I can't see it lasting long?) As it's not easily detached it's going to be a nightmare when it gets chipped up. Wonder if you could have done it somehow with a sacrificial/replaceable sheet on top that can be easily replaced (but not part of the solid framework) have to be something that accounts for the hinges or vise versa maybe modify or use different hinge system.. (just a thought) unless perhaps stick a hard vinyl/laminate/melamine "wrap" to the top surface to try and prolong the life and that way can be unstuck and replaced when chipped or gouged and protect the plywood underneath?

Something I thing I’m going to add is another cutout adjacent to the one for the star knob. That extra hole I think I would or will add either an outlet or a power strip. I think I’m going to do that to both sides and connect the wires together so that way it’s just one long cord to plug in when in use. Obviously you could keep the tools plugged in when flipping them but it eliminates the hassle of the extension cord. Idk it’s just a though.

I built a off feed level bench for my router and table saw using 180degree hinges for the horizontally mounted doors. The doors concealed my benchtop bandsaw, drill press, miter saw, and surface planer. Another of the doors concealed a vacuum plenum I made with 6 gate valves which went to my benchtop tools, router, and table saw. Each bench top tool was hinged to rotate out of the top of the bench once the door was rotated 180 degrees out of the way. The tool mounts were 3/4" plywood attached to door hinges attached to my bench framework. The working surface of the surface planer and miter saw were positioned to the same level as my bemch top for off feed and material support. By adding a auto on/off switch to a multi plug my shop vac will automically turn on and off when I operate my tools. I just have to open or close the appropriate gate valve per tool used. The tablesaw rests on a 3 drawer cabinet and my router is im a cabinet that fits between the rails of the table saw. It took some adjusting and fitting to allow for the swing space needed but in my 10' x 20' shop I can rip, route or miter over 8' material with ease.

Where I bought mine from in bulk is linked in the video description description. If you only need a few it might work out to be cheaper to search for some on Amazon

Great work! I am going to make this project using a full 4X8 sheet of plywood. Is there anything you would do different using a full sheet?

You'll definitely need more casters and want to support the middle if you go bigger than I made it. Mine already sags a little in the middle when I'm moving it so you'd want to have a caster there so it can still roll if it sags

love the design and going to make one for the shop. My only thought is when you flip tool back down, do you get wood chips and saw dust falling into your drawers. My thought is to add a secondary piece of plywood above the drawers to stop any thing from falling into the open drawers. just a thought

I do get lots of wood dust in the drawers but I usually vacuum the flip tools off before flipping them down so it's not really from that. I find that the wood dust finds its way into the drawers no matter what but you can certainly give it a shot and see if it helps!
