Building the MicroShop, Part 2

[@holidaze8998]

I am loving this project series. An amateur here but I think I will purchase the plans as I really have a small shop. PS, I'm a 74 year old woman so won't it be interesting to see if I can do it!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

I'm glad you're digging it! And yes, it will be interesting - keep me posted!

[@pelesmaan75]

I enjoyed watching the videos about the mini work bench from video 1 to video 7. Thanks for sharing.

[@darrynmsmith]

I’m building this! Bought the plans a few months ago, slowly accumulated the parts... and now I’m finishing up this stage - I have a table saw! So far so good... I’m super excited. A tip for those newer than me: the footplate of my Chicago Electric circular saw is not parallel with the blade. It’s off by about 1/64th over about 5”. Difficult to properly square until installing the throatplate(s). Once the throat is cut out, there’s a nice big hole in the top through which you can square the blade itself with the table top instead of squaring the footplate. A simple enough work-around, it just means the throat plate really needs to be done right away if you don’t get lucky with the Harbor Freight gremlins. Also, I would have only drilled 3 temp holes in the foot/top instead of four. No biggie. FInal thought on that... once this is finished, I expect the first thing I’ll want to upgrade is the saw anyway, and most ‘better’ CSaws have proper foot plates. Thanks Sir Tommy! I think this thing is genius, and honestly... I would’ve paid more for the plans. Tyty

Darryn, thanks for sharing about your build!

[@KentMatsueda]

Love this project. I'm very interested in a version with a dust collection system. Thanks for sharing!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you, and thanks for the feedback!

[@rcstevenson6]

Really easy to follow. Bought the plans as soon as I saw them! Can't wait for the final video but boy, you're gonna have to cover a lot of ground in that one! Thanks so much.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

I'm glad you're digging it, and I appreciate you buying the plans...I'm close to having the next video ready. It does cover a lot of ground, but it's not the final one. I think there will be a few more after this one. Anyway, I hope this helps! Good luck with the project, and feel free to reach out with any questions you have along the way!

[@Fisher0730]

I like the intellectuality of your builds. Keep up the great work man.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Justing, thank you very much! I'll do my best!

[@colinprince4081]

Love your video’s, will definitely be building the MicroShop with a few minor changes, one being I would hold the circular saw base down with screw inserts not screws (suppose we all have our own way of doing things) thanks for idea. Look forward to part 3,4 etc. Nice one Tommy

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you, Colin! Good luck with your build - let me know how it goes!

Thanks for release pt 2

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

No problem!

[@danbrown5644]

Love this. Wondering how I can adapt safely for battery powered tools?

[@woodlandburl6648]

Very good.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you!

[@neelakandanperiasamy]

thanks for video

[@utoobuser206]

Excellent! I would say tho' ...glue 1/4 round into the corners. Foot pedal on/off switch for saw . Flush inset bolts for saw attachment, cuz screws walk out and don't offer the same compression on wood.

[@nobull-dozer3356]

Inspiring.

[@KevinNguyen-zn4vv]

Add a set of wheels and use the extension as a handle, and you get a rollaway workstation. There's also enough room to fit a small vac.

[@MCsCreations]

Really awesome job, dude! Really nice! 😃

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you!

[@hassanal-mosawi6049]

Happy new year, thanks for sharing that

[@RThailand]

I’d love to see a video on starting woodworking, such as, if you had only $300-$500 (or $500-$1000) what tools would you buy as essential. Perhaps taking into account this MicroShop as a first project to beef up what you bought with the starting money. Your tools are of various quality/price so you are the guy to do it. Just a thought since your whole shop isn’t as overwhelming as others with 10s of thousands of dollars in machinery...yet.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thanks for the suggestion! I might have time later this year to do just such a video. The MicroShop might not be the best place to start though for people starting out...it's definitely not a beginner's project. Either way, it's a great suggestion - thank you!

[@ahmedshakir6967]

Its looking good, stands tall and proud like an elephant 🐘👍

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thanks, Ahmed!

[@diystarms6550]

Amazing!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you!

[@rbrooke2379]

Good video! I think threaded inserts for the saw screws would be a good idea. Is there a reason you didn't use them? Looking forward to the mitre saw adjustment!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you! Later on in the video series, you'll see that end up changing the way the saw mounts. At this point, I was just trying to get the saw mounted temporarily so I could move on with the project. I hope this helps - next part coming soon!

[@Russwig]

I think a better way to attach the saw to the top would be to swap out your cut off screws with counter sunk machine screws and nylok nuts. You can do everything the same way but when you get to where you cut off the excess screws remove them (one at a time) and replace with a #8 or #10 machine screw after you counter sink the hole. This will be much more secure and resistant to vibration.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thanks for the suggestion! If you keep watching the series, in a few weeks I should have a video up of the way I permanently attached the saw. What was shown here was just a temporary measure to keep moving forward. I hope this helps!

[@mervyngreen257]

Great

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thanks!

[@johnkelley9877]

THis was very interesting to see and I am looking forward to the next part.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thanks, John - should be coming soon!

[@TheWillOfFate2014]

if you end up putting threads into wood, try using CA Glue on the threads to give em strength.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

TJ, thanks for the suggestion! I've actually done a little of that - have a look here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYbNcpt8rq1nmMU

[@AvilerED]

Damn it, you're such a tease :D

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Sorry - the next segment would've been a bit long to cram into this video, and building the temporary saw is a pretty important step, so I decided to give it its own video in the series. Anyway, I'm working hard on part 3 - should be coming soon!

[@AvilerED]

@@OneMinuteWorkbench I know you are putting a lot of heart and soul into this project, so that wasn't really a complaint, hence the laughy smiley. Keep up the good work, and I definitely have my eyes out for this project in my subscriptions.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

No worries! FYI ~ The video series is......a...l...m...o...s...t....done. I hesitate to even suggest it though, like I'm going to jinx it and it'll never be complete 😂

[@nutnaa]

Are the plans also in metric system?

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Yes they are! I hope this helps!

[@jim7smith]

Tom, do you have a link to the techniques of animating the tools for your splash screen sign?

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

I didn’t make a video about it, but basically it’s several thousand still photos that were imported into video editing software and each of them times to be just a fraction of a second. There were 2 of us doing to shooting/positioning...it took about 3 hours to shoot and about 3 days to edit. There was some trickery going to with making the pieces go through the saw I’m order for it to be safe. We had to shape the pieces by hand so they wouldn’t catch on the blade. Anyway, I hope this helps!

[@jim7smith]

@@OneMinuteWorkbench WOW! I had no idea it was so complex to produce. Kudos to you for persevering!

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍

[@mrmathman]

How do you vary the blade depth?

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

I use the mechanism that is built into the circular saw, which is just a small lever. I hope this helps!

[@GODLOVERBAM]

Man, after seeing this I am so mad at myself for never thinking of it. You just screw a circular saw to a piece of plywood and turn it over! (a little more complicated).

[@PeterHoggan]

How big is the saw blade?

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

7 & 1/4”, with just under 2” of cutting depth. I hope this helps!

[@pelesmaan75]

How much are the plans

[@beaconofwierd1883]

Maybe it would be a good idea to install the riving knife before you actually start using the table saw? :/ I mean, if you're going to install one later anyway I see no reason not to do it right away.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

One of the goals for this project was to build it without using my existing shop tools like my table saw, drill press, or miter saw. So it's a "chicken vs egg" sort of scenario...you gotta start somewhere.

[@MultiKlompen]

1:58 why dont you drilling through the frame?

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

At that point, I was trying to get good alignment before drilling through the frame. You'll see just a little bit later on in the video where I add alignment blocks, and then add more screws, some of which are through the frame. All that said, these are just temporary anyway....later on in this video series, you'll see where I create the permanent attachments for the saw. I hope this helps!

[@TheVanuPhantom]

Maybe not the best idea to stand on top of it whilst the saw is installed.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Where's your sense of adventure? 🤣 Seriously though, it was unplugged...of course 😉

[@TheVanuPhantom]

@@OneMinuteWorkbench I meant it more in the sense of it being quite dangerous if you were to fall onto the blade, even if it weren't spinning.

[@jothain]

Kickback safety?

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

It'll be coming in part 3 or 4 - I hope this helps!

[@anneoreilly4900]

Tommy is clear in the plans that you need to be comfortable with this type of “table” saw use.

[@russveinot5754]

the whole concept is great, except, the hand tools should be easily removed rather than having to dedicate them to only the microshop. Looking forward to the finished project and its uses.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you, Russ! In the plans for the build, I have a section where I have the builder determine if they want to have the tools removable, and make adjustments to how they wire it if that is the case. I hope this helps! More videos are coming!

[@moreorlessme]

Rebrand to Five Minute Workbench and then edit all videos down to... wait for it... five minutes.

[@caveman3201]

I really, really love the section "Buy The Plans" in movies DIY on KZbin.. WTH?!?

[@JoseSilveira-newhandleforYT]

Ignoring the design and prototype build time and effort, just drawing the plans is an enormous task - can't see a reason why it should be given for free. Anyone interested can pick up the ideas and build a similar project without buying the plans - it's not mandatory paint-by-numbers and people can add or change features at will, so this seems to fit all types of viewers. Many times I buy a plan from a YT creator, not because I need it, but because I like the channel and want to contribute - creating content is expensive!

[@jorgenlannock]

@@JoseSilveira-newhandleforYT well said! I never make plans. Such big amount of time gets in it and makers usually make no plans for theirself, so making plans afterwards is timeconsuming and takes away for new projects. 😁

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

I know, right?! Who does this guy think he is?!! 😂

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Jose, thanks for saying that - it sounds like you're no stranger to how much effort is required for something like this.

[@caveman3201]

@@OneMinuteWorkbench , I'm a pragmatic guy! The point is, when you expose a concept in the video, it can be taken without details, such as dimensions, and so anyone adapts that idea. By this I find it a waste of time to think that someone is interested in the plans of a concept, which, let's face it, is often copied and slightly modified to look original. The world of KZbin DIY is divided between those who have a workspace with many tools (which means money), and those who do not have such resources, or are left-handed.

[@scriptional2008]

6min video !?? are you serious !???

Well, I guess I'm serious...lol 😂 Now, is 6 minutes too long, or too short?
