Ultimate WORKBENCH for DEWALT 7491 with tons of storage & features

In today’s day and age some people would actually say that that is possible and if you disagree with them they would cancel you and call you some word with phobic at the end.

[@TechTraction]

Rabbit hole of YT workbench videos...ABSOLUTELY! I'm currently lost down that very same hole but your video is helping me (so far) crawl back out of that hole. I really appreciate the "list of must haves" and overall realistic approach to your design based on entirely on your honest assessment of what type of woodworking you actually do. Making forward progress out of that hole is much easier when you say to yourself, "Hey, this is what I do" and avoid getting caught up in, "Hey, someday I might want to do this thing."

[@vanishingcabinets]

Wow, this is a great comment, exactly what I was hoping to hear from the viewers where we are all facing the same challenges and trying to navigate this great hobby and recognizing that people progress at their own pace. Glad to hear that you got something from the watch. Thanks for watching!

Seriously cool bench! I like the black stain 😊 I might use it on my table saw bench when it’s built👍🏻

Thanks Aaron! Yea that black stain is the way to go, good luck on your build!

[@bobpurcell5662]

Aagghh! At 8:45 I thought I was going to see a practical lesson of hazard reduction. Man, you are lucky the hoodie ties didn't find their way into your drill. BAN all hoodie strings (and other danglers) from shops with ANY power tool. EDIT: And please use PPE when needed, especially eye protection.

[@vanishingcabinets]

Great advice, I know I get too cavalier about the eye protection. Thanks for the reminder!

[@WARinMYhead1]

i really like your style of drawer fronts. nothing wrong with putting time into making the bench look good! Several months back, I made a 3'x7' bench that's still open underneath, trying to figure out what to do with the space. I like that you left room for some artwork as well, I may incorporate something similar! Great work and thanks for making a video to show it all!

[@vanishingcabinets]

Thanks! Yea actually the artwork ended up being my favorite part so I would certainly recommend

I just came across your video. At first, I wasn't sure about the flooring, but once you showed the complete design I really liked it. Great job.

[@vanishingcabinets]

Thanks! Yea it’s been about 5 months and the flooring has held up pretty great too

[@Danielturrietta]

I had a thick piece of plastic lying around that I used for my last bench and it held up great against all the abuse. Laminate flooring is pure genius! I’m getting ready to build my next one and you gave me some ideas. Thanks for posting this.

[@vanishingcabinets]

Thanks! Best of luck on your build!

[@jasonstrong6608]

You’ve done a great job on the bench. Like everyone else is saying, don’t care so much about other’s opinions when it comes to your work. The best thing about that top is that once you’ve decided to replace it in a few years, it’s s not like you’re destroying the entire thing. You’re just replacing that top.

[@vanishingcabinets]

Thanks Jason! Yep good point, not a full commit, should be able to use the body of the bench for a long time

[@steveferguson1232]

This video showed up on my screen and I thought I’d watch as I looking for ideas for a table like this for my Metabo table saw. A couple points for you. 1. This is a great build, but don’t apologize or care if people come down on you for making your shop enjoyable and beautiful to be in. I do the same in my 12’x20’ shed shop. 2. Don’t beat yourself up by being hard on yourself for making mistakes as you would not be a woodworker if you didn’t make mistakes because you sat back, realize what you did wrong and fix it and this is what a good worker does. 3. You asked what I would like in a table like this, and I want to make a sliding extension for cross cuts. And 4. Myself being a 40 year experience cabinet and furniture maker, I honestly like your work and thought process that went into this. I would like to learn sketchup so I can create designs on my laptop, but I am intimidated by learning a design program. Would you sell the sketchup file, so I can look at it and kind of dissect it to learn process. And lastly, I am now a new subscriber to your channel. Can’t wait to see what’s next. Oh, sorry , I forgot to also mention, that I love the fact that you use affordable tools as, while I do have some expensive tools, like the very same Festool extractor and sander, I also have Rey reasonably inexpensive tools like 2 Wen sanders(ordering 12” Wen disc sander soon, and Wen track saw which I would put up against your Makita any day. Sorry for the long post, but I am excited for your continued growth and what’s next

[@vanishingcabinets]

Thank you Steve for the thoughtful comments here. I do feel that I will grow in confidence as I get more experience, but really validating to hear positive feedback from an experienced woodworker like yourself. Man I would love to have a sliding extension, seems like a tough component though to actually build. As far as sketchup, honestly, I have also found that quite intimidating and yes it has taken some time to put together some basic designs. I'm using the free version so unfortunately I can't export anything at the moment, but I plan on putting more time into this as well to keep me organized in my builds in the future, and also keep the plans in case anybody is interesting in seeing the specs. Exactly as you notice, as far as tools I have a pretty big range of low, mid, and high end as I really tried to research where to spend more and where to get something more reasonably priced based on the types of projects I plan on using them for. Thanks again!

[@tomowens2720]

You’ve built a very nice functional low cost bench. How are you not getting snipe on drawer fronts? I’m diggin’ the removable wheels, dust collection and the huge outfeed/assembly area not to mention the art work. Keep coloring outside the lines, best ideas are out there. Well done IMO. Only thing I cringed at was the cheap blast gate. Consider replacing it with a high quality metal gate that seals better.

[@vanishingcabinets]

Wow thanks for commenting Tom! Really encouraging. Hilarious about the blast gate, you are right on. That thing was a cheap pos, already looking to replace it. I think I got lucky not getting any snipe honestly, the passes were shallow though, maybe 1/32 at most and those extending supports on the planer did a pretty good job supporting them all the way through.

[@waynesiewell1971]

Very nice! I like the look and the use of the laminate flooring for the top! Easy to replace when damaged too. Good job sir!

@vanishingcabinets waiting for your review now when u used it for a while.

[@paulsparacino503]

Great built man! I’d add some tracks for a cross cut sled. That’ll be useful. Safety tips: try not to wear a hoodie with strings and let them hang in front of your power tools. Also, you used your jigsaw to cut a notch in something and you had your forearm right in front of the blade. Be safe !

[@vanishingcabinets]

Thanks Paul! Yep great tips, I get careless sometimes trying to rush, got ti stay safe in the shop. I’m sure I’ll get some extended tracks in the top some time, just been lazy, but yes will be very helpful for the sled

[@YRNUT]

Cool design. I like the honesty of your narration. I think that the flooring idea was a great solution and you'll be pretty happy with it's performance. Keep up the good work!

[@vanishingcabinets]

Thanks AJ! Appreciate the feedback

[@DanShelton90]

Ive been watching so many table saw workbench videos and by far yours is the one I will absolutely watch over and over to see what you did and shamelessly try to replicate what you made moreso than others (without some of the heavy weight stuff cause mine needs to be a little more mobile in my workspace). Absolutely amazing build, instantly looked to see if you had your sketchup somewhere or plans available for me to purchase even. Love the idea of the flooring on top cause that stuff really is rock solid, cheaper than laminating with formica and easier too, though I am curious as to how wood glue and such cleans off it if spilled.

[@DanShelton90]

Also I'm staring at the exact same displate of hollow knight in my office, as well as others. I think adding your favorite art pieces to something that you're going to see every day is a great idea and should be done more often imo. Stop hanging tool brand banners in your workshop people, put up some fun things.

[@vanishingcabinets]

Hey Shelton, thanks so much for the kind words! I’m flattered. Yea I really wish I was better at sketch up to put out some free plans, something I will get better at. As far as the glue, it comes off insanely easy, I just use a chisel slightly angled. The flooring has held up great, been about six months now and still going strong! Oh yea and the displates are still my favorite thing in the shop, totally makes the space more cozy and like my own refuge

[@williamanderson1127]

video wasn't too long. I like the 20-30 minute videos. The bench is beautiful!!! love that you "recycled" the flooring for the top. also like the contrasting colors.

[@vanishingcabinets]

Thanks! Alright good to know, trying to dial in the right length, level of detail people want to see. Appreciate the feedback!

[@Bernardgrubb]

I'd be willing to try that top. I would still have used 3/4" plywood and then the flooring. I absolutely hate mdf. I also would have put the black handles of the drawers on the maple for the contrast. Other than that, I find this to be a great build. Great job...

[@vanishingcabinets]

Thanks! Agreed plywood would definitely have been better here, truthfully only used mdf because I wanted to save some money

Sweet outfeed table. I like the laminate flooring top idea. Honestly might do the same thing with my outfeed table. I have the same table saw but rarely use it because I don’t have a stand for it. I also don’t have a jointer and planer but I I think if I really want to make things perfect and on the money, I need those power tools. Also, go Niners.

[@craigb8379]

Nice video and great build. I built a bench for a DeWalt table saw a couple of years ago and I think you're going to want to create some extensions for the mitre slots. I'm in the process of re-desiging a new workbench, based on what worked and didn't work with the first one, and already planning on a laminate top.. but just a sheet of laminate glued down to substrate, not flooring. Great that you had some left over for your bench. Did you consider putting the AC retractable hose reel inside the compressor cabinet and having it run out through a hole in the frame (with a stop to prevent fully retracting)?

[@vanishingcabinets]

Thanks! Yes im already planning on routing out a couple extensions here soon. I would’ve liked to have spool hidden in the cabinet area, but it’s too big to fit in there how I built it. I did actually already move it from the back to the side because it was hard to pull the hose out without it getting snagged. Good luck in your workbench 2.0!

[@bradgreen7947]

Looks great. If you use a miter gauge on your table saw you mostly likely have to cut grooves in your bench top for it to slide. That’s a mistake I made.

[@KithirusCreates]

Hey so watching this video through i really like the design. I have been going through most of the workbench videos on youtube taking inspiration from each video i see while i plan out my workbench. I actually really like the metal graphics from displate and it gave me the idea to use them on the cabinet doors im planning out on the workbench. Im still a ways out from starting the workbench as im renovating my house and my garage is currently storing all of the reclaimed wood ill be using. So thank you for sharing your build process, i really like the design. P.S. if you like the black stain and white contrast you might want to look into Yakisugi (Japanese) wood burning. You can get some really nice blacks and browns while still getting beautiful wood grain to come through. Ill be using it in my workbench and maybe doing a video on the build.

[@vanishingcabinets]

Really glad you got some ideas! That was my hope with the vid. And I really like the idea of putting the displates as a door panel. I may have to do that myself….as for the burning, that actually hadn’t occurred to me, that’s a really great idea, I will 100% give that a try. Thanks for watching!

Holy crap, Batman. I applaud your use of flooring; however, methinks your construction is way too complex. It works, though, and I salute you for that. You have very specific needs, Just between you and me and the fencepost, this is akin to building a house from top to bottom rather than from bottom to top. It can be done, but it's a lot slower and requires too much extra effort.

I love the work bench. My work bench is very similar, but nowhere near as fancy as yours. I may steal your bench top idea to use some leftover flooring to cover my MDF top. By the way, how does your dust collection work when you need to tilt your table saw ... I ran into the same problem. I just subscribed, I look forward to your future content! Keep up the hard work!!

[@vanishingcabinets]

Thanks Patrick! Yea I did have to extend the hose from the port to the reducer piece, but it’ll tilt to 45 now, although the actual performance isn’t as good as when it’s at 90. Just gotta deal with it at this point to maintain the tight fit

[@jvader9289]

I designed a similar bench. One mistake you and I made was blade guard removal lever is at left of the saw my hand wont fit. So any time I need to move the blade guard had to move the saw. 😢

[@vanishingcabinets]

Yep you are exactly right. I noticed way too late. Upon realizing though, I'm not sure if I would have changed anyway as I did want it as tight as possible. Guess I don't plan on moving the blade guard often at this point.

Thanks a lot Mike! Appreciate the kind words. It’s a three car garage, so I would estimate it is about 7x11 meters.

Is there enough room with the flex hose off the back of the saw for 45 bevel cuts?

[@vanishingcabinets]

Very astute! At first I couldn’t figure out what was hanging up the bevel. There is just barely enough room to swivel the blade to 45 though I just needed to add another couple inches of hose which compacts down when sitting at 0 degrees. Super tight though

That, ah shit, moment when every thing gets real quiet for a minute. That’s when genius kicks in, or the fuel and matches come out.

[@vanishingcabinets]

Haha yea for real. Sometimes my favorite moments though, get into problem solving mode and put out the fires, always good practice to fix mistakes as seamless as possible.

[@robertfiorito9888]

Great video. Buy some boots lol

[@vanishingcabinets]

Haha yea, boots and some air conditioning. Got to wear sandles because it’s so damn hot here in the southwest

[@RiddleTransportTV-rb6ng]

Question on the table saw itself. How does your vacuum connection in the rear of the saw hold up if you rotate the blade to do miters? I have the 7485 and my dust port moves with the adjustment of the blade. Makes it pretty aggravating when I wanna keep the Shop Vac hooked up.

[@vanishingcabinets]

Good question. I ended up adding a few extra inches of hose to allow for the rotation. Admittedly it still isn’t as good when the blade beveled since the hose diameter gets compressed some, but better than nothing.

[@RiddleTransportTV-rb6ng]

@@vanishingcabinets I didn’t realize it when I built my table. I added pvc with a rubber adapter to hook mine up. Then the first time I moved the blade it fell out, lol. I’ve had my table for a couple years now and really wanna build a better cabinet for it. I like what you did here. Great video!

[@vanishingcabinets]

Haha hey I blame dewalt for not having the port stationary. Thanks for watching!

This is a $2000 work bench. Easy!!

[@vanishingcabinets]

You think?? Honestly I have no idea how to gauge what people would pay for something like this, but 2k would be fantastic

[@richardguest256]

You’re not on your own in using laminate as a table topper. I have it on my fold down bench in my shed. Your bench looks spot on. A job well done, I have workbench envy……

[@vanishingcabinets]

Cool, glad to hear there are others using the laminate. Haha thanks a lot Richard, I hope to get a lot of use out of it.

Like that Periphery tshirt, bruh

Hell yea! They the best

So, I've been looking for a pair of steel toed boots. Where did you get yours?

[@vanishingcabinets]

I got mine at the Nike outlet store. Check the clearance section, there are some deals!

[@emmanuel4333]

Hello there, Do you by any chance remember how many 2x4s you used?

[@vanishingcabinets]

Hi Emmanuel, this one took 10-12 2x4 8 foot boards for all the framing and blocking.

[@emmanuel4333]

@@vanishingcabinets Thanks a lot! I'm planning my workbench and yours is my model.

[@vanishingcabinets]

That’s awesome! I’m flattered. Hope it comes out great

@@vanishingcabinets Hello, sorry to bother again. Could you share that SketchUp file? 0:21

[@vanishingcabinets]

I absolutely would if I could. I made that in the free browser edition and no longer have the file. Will definitely be sure to keep it for all my furniture builds in the future
