Building the MicroShop, Part 8 (the Final Part)

[@afrowoodworking7019]

Thanks Tommy. You covered all I need to start an affordable wood workshop in the most practical way, in just eight short videos. This means a lot to many people who are starting out, and are looking for practical content. Thanks once again. Regards from Uganda.

[@cersilkhopinghoo]

Perfect Tom ..... I'm Hari from Indonesia. This is first time i watching vid till end ..... Finish part. Amazing .... This inspiring me to fill my pension time ... Thanks again for you Tom .... Barakallah ..... GBU

[@uwekilian6135]

I liked the idea of building a workstation that only needs little space. The precision of the tools is remarkeble. The video also was very interesting and not a little boring. Good work.

[@homemadetools]

Awesome and useful build, and very well documented. We shared this video (with all the other parts) on our homemade tools forum this week 😎

[@cafki]

Seen all 8 of them. Great job!!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you!

[@ShopNation]

Nice work!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you, Travis!

This complete series was brilliant! You are very creative Tommy

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you!

[@Jeff_Eats_Local]

@@OneMinuteWorkbench You da man Tommy! hahaha

[@danajipson3493]

Thoroughly enjoyed the series !! I'm going build it and give to my grandson as he is just getting started in wood working. Fantastic build and well thought out and executed . A great tool for someone with limited work space. Thank you for sharing. DJ

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you so much, and how nice of you to build one as a gift. Good luck with the project!

[@peterschmidt9942]

I didn't think I really needed one but thought the whole build was interesting. After watching the whole series, I could see it being useful when I'm working away from the shop and don't have to do anything too large. Although it would be easy to set this up outside and rip larger sheets down if need be on the lawn. Cheers

[@stellabelikiewicz1523]

What is there to say other than DAMN, you’re good! I hope some day when I’m further into my woodworking journey I’ll have built up the skills to attempt this build.

[@Scyth3934]

Cool idea applying the ink to the blade!

[@waynedavis1443]

Im impressed. Just finished my version which is just ok, but now I MUST build this one over the holidays n take my time. Thanks for sharing these 8 videos, again just amazing. Thank you!

[@arponto]

I just found your channel. I've been contemplating a multi-tool such as this. Being retired my children are often asking me to help them with projects so something like this would be much easier than loading my truck full of tools

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

I'm glad you found the channel, and I wish you the best of luck putting something together that fits your needs. If you do tackle the project, let me know how it goes!

[@paulelverstone8677]

This is outstanding. I'm surprised you haven't been approached by manufacturers about this!!!...

You are just Awesome brother, Keep posting good Videos.

[@robertonunes6357]

Great job, congratulations

[@gusntroll]

The broad saw guide is inovative for me, looking foward to change my table top and test It. Thanks again.

[@f12mnb]

Great video - great series. By the way, really appreciate your honest open approach - showing when things don't work, when you had to go back and modify your plans and make adjustments.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thanks so much!

[@birdack81]

I was waiting for this last video. This has been a fantastic series. Here in Europe we do not have so much space to make a shop out of a garage so this is a perfect idea. Thanks a lot and looking forward to any accessories.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@daxomega007]

@@OneMinuteWorkbench How Much Would It Cost For You To Build One For A Customer ?

[@chuckjohnson4048]

I bought the plans and built the workshop never expecting my box store jobsite tablesaw to take out on me and I'd spend a month ordering and waiting for the parts that did not fix the problem to show up. Yes, another part is due in 3 days, but in the meantime, thank you Tommy, the workshop table saw I made is taking up the slack. Before ordering Tommy's plans I had viewed YT's videos of woodworkers shops with 2 or 3 tablesaws and my thought was, well, if I had the space, the volume of work, and the money to buy more than my one table saw, just why should I do so? Question answered, TS breakdown. Duh. Thank you Tommy, you have been a tremendous help solving my present dilemma. My little 10 x 20 can spare the room for a second tablesaw and it comes in handy making repetitive cuts needing a re-set of the fence between each cut. I even made collapsable legs for my workshop unit that fold up under the base and make hauling to a jobsite quite easy and quick.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Glad to hear it 🙂

[@MauricioLJ]

Astonishing project man!! Subscribed!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thanks for subscribing, and welcome to the channel!

[@garrettperea8437]

I subbed a little while back but hadn't seen anything on this series until I came across the update to the riving knife! Very cool build! One suggestion I can make is to use a set of those self-leveling feet on the bottom of the cabinet. They should help keep things square from the floor and remove any wobble from an uneven ground. Time to hit that bell!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you for subscribing, and thanks for sharing the tip about the leveling feet!

[@JohnDunn1969]

Great job looks real cool and it will work real good.

[@spacecowboy689]

I really appreciated to have these videos in addition to the very good paper guide provided by Tommy. It helped me a lot. I almost finished to build my workbench except the disc sender. For me it looks like the most difficult part after I watched the video and also because I'm using a bigger router I'm not sure I have enough room for the drill. Never mind, now I will just add the throat plate and then I'll be done 😅

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Steve, I'm glad you enjoyed the series and the project! You can always come back and tackle other parts of it later. Keep me posted, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

[@patrickmegan8224]

Hi Tommy, this series has been really great. Over here in ol' Hong Kong we don't have much space so this little workbench has been perfect for my rooftop mini shed. The biggest challenge is allowing for the wood expansion between wet and dry season. I've built most of this in the dry season so let's see if everything gets a bit tight when the humidity starts kicking in.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you! My guess would be that it'll hold up pretty well, as long as it's protected. The one thing that might get tight is the miter gauge, and that gives me an idea (if that does happen). You could add two oversized holes to the outside rail that captures the miter gauge, and add counterbores. Add threads below in the main cabinet. Add hex bolts through the counterbores, through the oversized holes, into the threads below. The counterbores should be deep enough to conceal the head of the hex bolt below the surface, so they don't get in the way of workpieces sliding across. With the oversized holes you can loosen and tighten the hex bolts and adjust the rail so that it's tight enough to hold the miter gauge correctly, but not too tight. Then when the season changes, you can adjust again. Just a thought!

[@michellafrance9378]

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

No problem! I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel!

[@MeteAkcaoglu]

This is very cool! Great work! One thing I thought that a skillful person like you can do is to convert the whole thing into a battery powered one. Install one central battery, extend wires into each tool, and that should probably make the whole thing mobile. Maybe even put the battery into a charger somehow? And charge with one cable that’s on the side...:) This is probably too much, but could be fun future iteration for your work.

[@kyleikuma5790]

Awesome, I can't wait to build something like this myself!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

[@RogerStocker]

Great Work, I enjoyed every minute of the 8 videos. Im sure I will bild something similar, maybe a little bit bigger but the strategy will be the same.

This is an Award winner best DIY series, Thanks for this Man, you are a great content creator. Keep up with this quality, Thanks for showing the details, coz there are a lot of. ;) d

[@russveinot5754]

Coming along nicely. FYI, the long board support could double as a moxon or face vise with a couple of long threaded bolts and nuts. I suspect you can figure it out with further help but if you want any detail ideas, let me know. Looking forward to the other improvements you got lined up for the bench

I really think you did a very good job on this work bench. Only comment I make is about the vertical drill unit. Could have fitted a small drill stand instead, less expensive and more reliable. But very good indeed. i am planning to build something similar and perhaps use some of your ideas in mine.

[@richshawver2130]

You might want to concider a couple of additions if they will fit inside storage inside. Your angle grinder chop saw with a way to clamp or bolt onto the unit. A belt sander would be nice. Since not all of the cuts will be at 90 degrees. You need an angle adjustment on your miter gauge

[@JoseSilveira-newhandleforYT]

It's finally complete :-) Only now I noted you 3D printed the cable clips and the socket holder (so much for paying attention...). As you go on using the MicroShop, it would be interesting to know what modifications and/or reinforcements you find useful or recommended to make - perhaps a follow-up video some time later :-)

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

I'm sure I'll do some follow ups down the road - thanks for suggesting it!

[@gucu]

Thanks Tommy for the awesome series. When you make the base is it possible to include tool storage etc. By that I mean, some chisels, screwdrivers, etc. Some basic tools that you need to help in terms of woodworking. Additionally, whilst I have enjoyed the series I wonder whether a short video on explaining the use of each tool would be helpful as well. I for instance enjoy using a hand saw to make most cuts but find myself limited on some occasions and can see it might be useful to have a table saw in those circumstances. And finally, I wonder whether it is possible to incorporate an actual table saw but build up the rest of the microshop, what I mean is to leave out some elements of the shop but include the rest? Once again I thank you for the inspiration, my shop is 8ft x 4ft and I can see how something like this would be hugely helpful.

[@JoeGP]

never heard of low friction tape, have no idea where to even get it, it probably costs too much (where i live), but i had a sticking drawer to fix once, planed the bottom down a little, refinished it with lacquer (polyurethane) and rubbed candle wax on both surfaces, now it runs smoother and more easily than any drawer slide ever could. I have an old drill that has no bearing behind the chuck, it just rubs on lubed plastic, which obviously wore out and is now pretty much useless and unfixable, but i can still use it to drive a shaft, since the shaft doesn't move side to side, so i might make that sander part.

[@coryjohnson4721]

I would love that you use harbor freight tools. Can you do a video on which items from HF that you like/dislike.

[@poet7158]

Great job I would make it a bit bigger so I can add a mini - lathe

[@xmnemonic]

Looks amazing but also quite a large project. Maybe 70 hours to fabricate for a moderately experienced woodworker? I'd buy all of the precut pieces with assembly instructions for a few hundred bucks. Seriously I wish a company would come out with a setup like this

I would love some info about the used tools. How poweful they should be, can we use cheap ones too, etc. I could read the type sticker on some (circular saw and router) and they were rather cheap models.
