Modified Paulk Workbench

[@latishaashford8662]

I bought this for my friend for his birthday as we just moved into a new house and he finally has room for a workshop. The bench was very easy to set up kzbin.infoUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh They center support is a little difficult to snap in and out of place at first but at least then we know the bench is secure. It was a pleasant surprise when we saw it came with clamps. I apparently missed that in the description. My friend loves the versatility of the bench. Great starter bench for his workshop and easily transportable all over our property. I wish the bench was a little taller but the other features of the bench more than make up for that.

At 8:26, for actual cutting, you would place the cut piece near the edge of the bench so the waste side can fall, right? Thanks for the video. This is a great setup. From what I can see the small holes on the top does wonders, 90 degree, 45 degree cut, act as as stop block, etc. I will make a smaller version of this for my Worx Pegasus work table. What I will do is only make the top part of this bench and clamp it to my Worx Pegasus work table when I need it. I have two Pegasus, which can be combined to make a larger work surface.

Great video. Do you have a list of all the various products you are using so we mere mortals can source them? Specifically that neat tool used for measuring the holes, and the bench dogs you are using. I have been planning to do much the same as you have done, with storage underneath, but I am somewhat torn between using the holes and using a grid work of t-track. The space for storage between the top and bottom I want to do drawers and with the holes, that will let dust fall into the drawers. I am planning to do a double spine internally and a shallower drawer along the outer long sides. This design would allow a storage area for the longer track saw guides on the ends. right up the middle in between the double spines. I am however considering using a double layer top with the dog holes so I could have a combination of holes and T track on the top surface.

[@thenakedcarpenter2502]

What do you think about the Peter Parfitt mft3 20mm hole cutting jig template thingy? I'm seriously considering it. There's also the Dominofix 20mm hole cutting template. I built a 4' x 8' work bench and used the top from my mft3 table as a template. In my OF1400 I used a guide bushing. Some of the holes are slightly off because the bit isn't centered in the guide bushing and there's no way to adjust. I'm about to send the router in for repair/replacement. I honestly didn't check it before I started working. I just ordered a centering mandrel from festool to confirm.

I want to give you a big round of applause on you editing, really top notch !!! Nice job man !! You made me a fan!! One question tho, is there a particular reason why you use the MDF top ??

[@thenakedcarpenter2502]

Hey Dave, Thanks for watching and for the words. The reason that I chose to use an MDF top was mainly because I was trying to mimic the Festool MDF table which is made from MDF. I'm sure I could use plywood, but what I have learned to like about the MDF is that it is less harsh on my blades and tools than plywood would be. I have a sneaking suspicion that plywood would dull a blade quicker, but who knows. If you build something similar and use something other than MDF, let me know how it goes. Cheers!

I'm curious why you used all that maple for the structure but not the top? Why choose MDF for the work surface? I would have thought that the maple would provide more longevity and be more resistant to impact damage than the MDF, no? I keep seeing people use MDF tops (including festool), so I'm sure there's a reason, I just can't figure it out. ..

[@JT-91]

It's for flatness. The top being MDF is so they can skip planing the table down. I'm personally not a fan as MDF is super heavy and can't resist impact that well.

[@SuperBardley]

Also, it’s cheap and won’t splinter - the Festool track saw is developed to cut directly into the top (sacrificial) so as to eliminate splintering of workpieces.

It works on MAC so that is a plus for a lot of people. The community is really good with a lot of KZbin videos to get started. I would suggest watching a few of Lars' videos. He covers a lot of getting started and is what I learned CAM from. kzbin.info I am also an FEA nerd so that is always a good time for me. :) I mostly use Inventor but that is not free, unless you are a student or teacher or mentor a FIRST Robotics team.

You seem to be missing the point of the Paulk bench. Torsion boxes are stiff and stable, and have virtually no movement with moisture change. And, I’m confused as to why the Paulk portion is independent of the main carcass.

[@thenakedcarpenter2502]

Hey Randall, take me to school then. in your opinion what’s the main point of the Paulk workbench? Sincerely, an anxious school boy

[@randallthomas5207]

@@thenakedcarpenter2502 A torsion box consists of two sheets with some system to hold them apart. For them to bow or twist the separator has to compress or expand, and/or the top and bottom sheets have to compress or stretch. The separators can be a web out of wood, or sheets of foam as in a Structural Insulated Panel, or SIP. And you may have seen them in the hard corners that Simpson Strong-Tie make to provide shear strength at garage corners. Torsion boxes made from plywood are very easy to get dead flat, particularly if you are making the webs of ripped plywood and glueing and screwing them to the top and bottom. the weber will be straight and not want to bend, so any bow or twist in the plywood top and bottom sheets will straighten itself out to conform to the ripped strips of the webbing. The Paulk bench is a torsion box, with holes in the webs. This lightens the box, and allows him to utilize the interior for storage. He made his as two smaller panels which can be placed together in a 4X8-ft work center. I can see how handy they would be if your doing a lot of trim and finish carpentry, and fairly useful if you’re framing. When you did yours you built a platform out of 2X material with no bottom plane and then made a cabinet system on top of that complete with a top, and then added a torsion box on top. The system would have been lighter and more stable if you used a sheet of 1/4 plywood glued onto 1x4s with the 3/4 plywood top. And, since you intend for it to be a semi mobile piece which never leaves the shop, it would probably been best to build the top, and then with it upside down, use the bottom of the top torsion box as a solid flat base, and build up from the floor towards the bottom of your system.

+Randall Thomas Hey Randall. Thanks for the input, I never really planned to take this out of the shop and have it mobile like Ron Paulk does.

STRAIGHT EDGE,,,,,,,,there is something you can make out of half a sheet of 1/2", plywood, or mdf, hard board, plexiglass, etc, at least the 2 long edges of the sheet are going to be straight , rite out of the mill, cut about a 2" strip off, take the painted edge of the board , face it toward the edge you just and glue it down, it has to be at least as wide as the widest part of the shoe of your saw, place your saw against that painted edge, and just cut along it , it will give you a custom to that saw , straight edge, and you won't have to allow for the saw shoe, you just lay that board along the line you drew on whatever you are cutting and it will always be straight and accurate, i realize this sounds confusing in type, but look up chute board, shooters board, etc, this old house has a tutorial on their you tube site, it changed my whole outlook onmaking long cuts, try it

If I was able to drop the $219.00 Lee Valley wants for that rather complicated hole boring jig I'd rather get the much simpler jig from Woodpeckers which is also available in metric or US Standard for those of us not living in Mother Russia. It's just as deadly accurate and much simpler to use and is only $139.00.

Very good video! how has the MDF held up as a top? Subscribe

[@thenakedcarpenter2502]

Tony Ozimek Great question. The MDF has held up fantastic. I’ve even used it as a sub surface to spray and pack Concrete GFRC countertops weighing as much as 300+ lbs and she hasn’t warped one bit. Still flat as can be. Thanks for watching!

Great video thanks!!

"...because I'm really fat." That was really funny and unexpected in such serious commentary.

[@thenakedcarpenter2502]

rpnbrn lol. Thanks rpnrbn. Glad somebody caught that

[@naderfawzy5958]

Good job buddy 💪👍🌹

The music in the background is really nice, but it's distracting and makes it difficult to hear what you're saying. Perhaps it's because you speak softly, or maybe I have a difficult time hearing. Anyway, nice video - good ideas.

[@timmillervideo]

I just watched and am reading comments now. I don't even remember there being music so it couldn't have been that bad. Ill have to play again to see. I'm listening with Bose headphones.

Like most say your videos are edited to perfection. My channel needs to take a lot of notes of yours. Awesome. Sub'd Edit. Just looked at your videos.. Do you live in AK? I was born and raised there and was just wondering.

[@thenakedcarpenter2502]

Yea man. I live in Anchorage, on the Eastside. Small world. Thanks for the complements. Where'd you grow up in AK?

[@RenovationsandRepair]

Born in Anchorage, but Wasilla, and Palmer, basically Matanuska Valley.

[@thenakedcarpenter2502]

+SearchingforSignalLLC that’s awesome man. You ever think about coming back, or are you in the lower 48 for good?

[@JerodMatlock]

Great video style, narration, and audio quality. Need better lighting

[@thenakedcarpenter2502]

Jerod, thanks for the words. I appreciate it. I got the same comment on the lighting from a friend. When you say it needs better lighting, do you mean more consistent lighting, or its too dark? Thanks for your feedback!

[@JerodMatlock]

The Naked Carpenter - just too dark. I think you got all the difficult stuff correct, and now you just need some bright 6500k overhead lighting.
