Table Saw Workbench

[@woodpackdiy]

Build plans available here: www.etsy.com/listing/976539293/table-saw-workbench-plan?ref=shop_home_active_1&crt=1 I wanted to answer a couple common questions: My table saw is a dewalt DWE7491RS. It comes with an arbor long enough to hold up to a 3/4 inch dado stack. Let me know your thoughts on the build, and what add-ons would be helpful in your workshop.

Nice build! We all need a friend like Howard!

[@Melchizadeckk]

I'm considering building this next week. Your friend stopping and looking at the camera a couple times cracks me up.

[@ScentArmor_MikeJr]

Just purchased your plans on Etsy and picked up lumber. Excited to get started, thank you!! I know this was a lot of work.

[@siulanainad]

Such a nice shop deserves such a nice table. 👍

Nice....I love the safety comments! DD

[@danharris6449]

Just a shout out and a thank you! I just finished your design for the work bench and enjoying its functionality. I am going to install a T track on the larger side bench.

[@woodpackdiy]

Awesome, thank you!

[@egbok07]

GREAT SET OF PLANS!!! Thank you.................

[@jp-ty1vd]

Nice! (my only suggestion would be to use 3/4" plywood for a base then recess screw a 1/4" piece of plywood on top of that for the finished table top. easy to replace the 1/4" when the time comes. :)

[@woodpackdiy]

good idea

[@jp-ty1vd]

@@woodpackdiy thank you.

[@joearcuri3377]

great build

[@grover2727]

Dude you hit a grand slam with this video. I love your bench, I love the design, I love your attention to detail and most of all I love your dog Bob Barker !

[@woodpackdiy]

Thank you!

[@timdahl8912]

You got the Like as soon as you introduced your dog! Yes!

[@robertlandry4244]

I just downloaded the plans and have started construction. My shop is a 2 car garage, but because of needing an additional repair bench(business) and a reloading bench(hobby), I'm a little constrained on space both storage and working. my plan is to shorten your plan by 2', which only requires the length dimension change and to add a shelf to the long open end to double storage capacity under the bench. My saw is the same as yours so no further modifications will be necessary. it should be a fun build. Great plans.

[@CisnerosGM1]

Nice work man, turned out great.

[@woodpackdiy]

I appreciate that

[@enshongmiranda]

You got a great friend right there. Very nice tablesaw bench.

[@1990notch]

Very nice job on that! Only change I would make is put some formica or a thin sheet of stainless steel on the top.

[@woodpackdiy]

Good idea!

[@Nicola0067]

very nice workbench. thank you

[@woodpackdiy]

Glad you like it!

[@nelsoncalligan7851]

Anthony, the bench is complete now, except for more drawers. I intend to enclose the sections I don't have drawers going in. Great videos! Keep them coming.

[@rw7532]

Well done. I subscribed. I enjoy watching people do what they enjoy doing. You seem like a cool dude. The dog and cheerful and helpful neighbor are pleasant additions to the build video.

[@woodpackdiy]

Thanks!

[@williejohnbui2985]

Basic carpenters rule " Mark Twice Cut Once" Love the video, gonna keep following your DIY videos.

[@woodpackdiy]

Glad you liked it! And yeah, unfortunately this time I opted for the measure once, cuss twice option.

[@ashesofevil]

Nice clean build. I like it

[@rl2109]

Thanks for posting this fine video.

[@Expirav1t]

Bob Barker, love it!

[@willjohnson4392]

I made an outfeed table and cut ~1” holes in the bottom shelf above those adjustable feet, so all I need to do to adjust is stick a screwdriver (or drill for large adjustments) in that hole to adjust the legs - no lying on the floor adjusting in cramped spaces. Just a suggestion!

[@Will-dt3yg]

Thank you for making this video. From Bob Barker to your thumbs up friend, this is hugely helpful. After saving enough for the DWE7491RS your plans will make a perfect outfeed bench for my next project.

[@dc4046]

Came for the dog, stayed for the build. Great video; subscribed!

[@ericrickert3045]

Congrats on completing this! well done!

[@pemtax557]

First of all, kudos to Bob Barker and his awesome and indispensable contributions to your bench build. I have a King Charles that keeps me sane in my shop. The simplicity of this build makes it just that much more special and repeatable for someone like me. I'm finally going to be purchasing my table saw this winter and have looked at several integrated benches and really like the approach you took with this one. You have enough lapping of the joints to insure good stability without getting outrageous with some of the mystery puzzle piece joinery I've viewed on others. They are beautiful and clever, but at the end of the day, it's a workbench and I don't want to be afraid to work on it. I also like your solution to leveling and mobility, like the rest of the bench, it's simple and effective. I wanted to pass along my thanks for taking the time to explain and clearly demonstrate the build ... you even disclose a Mulligan or two in the process. Very few of us can get through a complete project like this error free ... it's the human thing to do ... including it in the video gives the rest of us a bit of confidence knowing were not alone. Consider me a new sub ... Cheers my friend ...

[@darrylqmiller]

This is exactly what I have been looking for! I do all kinds of tinkering in my shop but need to make the most use of space. Thank you!

[@markfrye9178]

your garage is awesome! Paint, floors and its clean!

[@woodpackdiy]

Thank you!

[@martinmarran3095]

Great work. Keep the videos coming. There is no video content that can not be improved by a dog. Well done Bob.

[@cdamarshall5127]

Good job man!

[@joshuasmith5979]

I bought your plans and I ended up using my 30 year old Craftsman table saw. It needed a little work, but now it runs like a charm. The thing is I did have to make adjustments as my saw was a little deeper than the Dewalt saw that you used. I also had to make it a few inches in width shorter , so that when it rolled into my shed it would fit through my door. Mine ended up being 42" wide. Still plenty of working room.After it was done the drawer in the front just seemed to deep. Yours must of been deeper., Or i missed a step. It fit a lot of things and sturdy enough for weight but things were hard to find with the deepness. So i decided to make it into two drawers. The top drawer being 4 to 5" tall, fit most of the small tools while working with wood, and the bottom drawer was about 6 to 7" tall. I put a notch on the top bottom drawer to use it to pill open, and a notch on the bottom side of the top drawer to pull open. Now I did have to use 1/2" plywood around my notch to close it in 1 1/2" rectangular notch out inside to close it in and to get your fingers in there. But overall it was fun to build. I used the far back of the table to mount me a a router under neath with t track. I put electrical plugs in so that everything can be plugged in and also I had a spare battery charger so i screwed that behind my saw to the side. I mounted a measuring tape holder on the front so that i can always have a tape measure. I put in a crank pencil sharper with a place to hold pencils. Last thing I did was to make a holder for all my battery powered drills. Made a place to put my pipe clamps. Anyways your plans were great and as I was building it lots of things kept pooping in my mind to make it a one stop bench with accessories.

[@woodpackdiy]

Sounds like it came out well. And yeah, the drawer is deep, but that was deliberate for me. I keep my dado stack and a couple other bulky things in there. smaller ones would work well too depending on what your using it for.

[@thecompletejake]

phenomenal...

[@Vandalfoe]

That was a good video. Great build and very nice walk-through, especially how you made do withOUT some of the ideal tools.

[@mathewcampbell8479]

Crikey. That is some workbench mate. Love it

[@TheSongtubes]

Got the plans, thanks for putting it together. I had the same idea but was too lazy to make plans. Thank you...

[@woodpackdiy]

Glad I could help. I hoped the plans would be able to save some time for people.

[@Sebastopolmark]

GREAT build. I am in a one car garage and this will work for me. I like the fact that the 2X4's are on the inside of the legs so you have a place to clamp projects. Pro Tip, make the saw frame loose and adjust it to the finished height with the saw on the base. The only thing I will add is dust collection for the saw, it spits sawdust EVERYWHERE! !! !!!

[@woodpackdiy]

Right on!

[@bmmrrr]

nice job..i have a similar table....yours looks like a pro

[@baxterhoop]

Sweet! Thanks for going to this effort!

[@silvergrizzly316]

Very NICE!!! Great job 👏 👍

[@MrBrimmer]

Exactly the the type of build I have been looking for. I’m getting your plans. Thank you.

[@woodpackdiy]

Thank you!

[@XxDrJewxX]

After seeing the reviews of the plans for this table i just bought them, hopefully it comes out great, thanks for the video also.

[@woodpackdiy]

nice! good luck with your build!

[@jordansmallwood4605]

As a non-track saw buyer myself, I bought a 100” cutting guide to go with my circular saw. I got the Kreg one and it works well but I saw a better option at Home Depot for like $30. It’s only two pieces of aluminum so less error when joining the two tracks than 4 with the Kreg.

[@happinesshotel5375]

I’m currently building my own right now, I added on an attachment piece for my homemade router table, but I’m currently remodeling the table saw part because I made mine ghetto. I also made a nice slot at the bottom for me to store my planer and a secondary drawer for all my tools and on the opposite side I hang my power tools. Mine is pimped out. Not sure what the hell to do with my miter saw and I still want to buy a jointer and I corporate it in somehow. Maybe make another attachment piece.

[@DonLemke]

I love this build. You out done yourself. I'm buying these casters and stops at this moment. I won't be building such a table like yours. about 30" deep, 8ft long with a cut out for a stool to go under the workbench.

[@woodpackdiy]

Thanks. Sounds like yours will be a really good workbench too

[@bryanmartin7632]

Nice bench. I would like to build something similar, but I use a dado stack frequently and need to remove the riving knife. It looks like the handle on the left side of the saw is blocked by plywood. I might see if I can add some hinges to lift the small tabletop to the left of the saw so I can access the riving knife release.

[@woodpackdiy]

You are right, I need to tilt the saw back to remove it. I thought about adding in a hinge, but after using it, its not a big dela for me. it tilts off the edge easily, and the stops get it back in place fast/reliably.

[@trashpanda5981]

honestly one of the best videos I've seen about making a workbench, Definitely going to be getting the plans once I make space in the workshop..

Just purchased these plans, very well detailed. I have the same model saw.

[@woodpackdiy]

Hope your build goes well!

[@nelsoncalligan7851]

I really like the bench!! So much so, I bought the plans. I'm going to make additions to your plans and make miter saw station on one of the sides (remove the saw and add a top to cover the shelf the miter saw sets on) and also install a bench wood vise opposite end of the table saw. I think I'll add bench dog holes on the end by the vise, too. Thanks a lot for the video. It sparked thoughts of "grandeur"...at 3 AM out of a sound sleep! 😁

[@woodpackdiy]

Sounds like it is gonna be an awesome workbench!

[@Britineeng]

I used those casters making my workbench. I was very disappointed in them. They are dangerous (tripping hazard) but they kept popping open tilting my workbench. The popping was a very loud sound scaring me. I went with conventional swivel casters with brake. Nice job on your workbenck really nice video.

[@971lionheart]

Looks great!

[@tacticalks4106]

I just bought the same table saw and I’ve been searching for ideas on how to set it up in my shop. Thanks to your video I’m putting together a plan that I think will work great, but first I need to to finish my shop. Thank you, I subscribed and liked.

Hi Anthony, This reminds me of when I made my dewalt table saw bench, yours is a great build, nice and solid and a nice video to watch, thanks for sharing 👍🏼

[@juliev9510]

Thank you for the clear instructions! I love how you explain how to problem solve if you do not have the “idea” tool. I will enjoy watching your channel grow.😊

[@Siouxperman]

Pretty sweet table my friend. I’m searching for ideas to add in my new garage. I think building this table will suffice my woodworking needs. You should add a nice stain or even polyurethane to the top of the table. It will both help glide your future cuts along as well as protect it over time. Birch is durable but pretty soft which could dent up over time. But hey you built yourself a pretty great mobile table for a 1/3 of paying for one. Well done to ya boys!

[@derekharp2805]

You have to get one of those Kreg circular saw guides.

[@milaudvaziri8399]

Very nice, I intend to build this but instead of centering the saw I will put it to the far left and use the extra space on the right to create a router table, use the saws fence for both!

[@woodpackdiy]

Sounds like a good idea!

Hi Anthony, can you please tell me what length Brad nails you used on this bench? I'm looking to make one soon, just gathering up tools at the moment as it will be my first foray into woodworking/DIY. I need to buy a Brad nailer but they all have different max lengths. Thank you!

Pretty sure I'm gonna use this as a reference to make a similar bench setup. Want to do a 4x8 bench in this configuration, but also have a fold down miter station. Great work.

[@woodpackdiy]

Perfect! I wanted to do a full 4 x 8, but my space wouldn't allow it. I had to make it narrower. Good luck with your build!

[@YulRun]

@@woodpackdiy Cheers, yeah I currently have 2 benches built to the sides of my garage as I have a sloped/graded garage. But where decided I want to disassemble those for more vertical storage on the sides instead and then a bench on Casters I can move around as needed or push to the back of the garage in the winter when I park in there.

[@JoeJernigan-vp7lt]

You will get a much better match on wood filler if you use sawbust from your project and glue. Perfect match every time.

[@medinaruben786]

Looks good. Two thumbs 👍🏽 but these type of saw needs dust collector to keep out of over heating controls

[@dragade101]

Do watch your fingers with a nailer. Sometimes they can double fire in the same place so the 1st nail that left the gun is going to deflect and wonder away from just going straight (which means if your fingers are in line, the nail may travel into your digits) (eg watch your fingers when nailing a corner together).

[@woodpackdiy]

Yeah, didnt realize I was doing that till someone pointed it out. I am more carefull with my hand and finger placement now. gotta stay safe!

[@dkusmierczyk]

Wow, that workbench is impressive ! great job
