Woodworking: Making Fisher's Mobile Assembly Table

[@barnyardkh4]

I'm so glad to see that someone else forgets to put the cover over the wire end first before wiring up the new plug!!!! SO GLAD!

[@CeeJayThe13th]

Every time

[@befmx31]

I don't know how many times I have done that.

[@MrPhilTX]

I wondered if he forgot, and then was rewarded in the outtakes...

[@jimpinger6206]

I laughed SO hard, at myself, for doing the same thing, so...many...times.

[@Ray_Sellner]

This!

[@TheDarkPreacher65]

"Draw me like one of your French Woodworkers" was all I could think when you did the first stability test of the table.

[@bradley975]

Having been an editor for over sixteen years I am always amazed by the time and effort you and who ever does the editing takes to make your videos. Absolutely blown away with the amount of time it must take to edit your finished project. Outstanding!

[@FishersShop]

Wow, thank you! I do it all myself with just one camera, lots of shots, and a whole lot of computer time. It's nice hearing this from someone that can appreciate it on that level and knows the amount of work it takes. Thanks!

[@suearmstrong3404]

I love your videos because your outtakes show how things really go. I think for beginner woodworkers, they assume that whoever is doing woodworking videos must be a master at what they do and the newbie could never be that good. Your outtakes show that ish happens and even you make mistakes but that is no reason to scrap the project, you fix the issues and move on. I really like your videos so keep making them and I'll keep watching them!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Sue!

[@catspaw4000]

"All by myself!" That was impressive.

[@JS-hu7pv]

The internal dialogue in the outtakes makes us mere mortal woodworkers feel so much better about the screw-ups we often make. Much appreciated. My heart skipped a beat when that nice walnut cleat split. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve cursed at myself for a similar occurrence.

[@FishersShop]

Haha, glad you liked it! Thanks

[@AbdicateDotNet]

LOOOOOVE the outtakes! They show that I'm not alone with "issues" 😂❤🧡👍😎😂❤🧡😁😷

[@jerryschlather2438]

The only people that don’t make mistakes are the ones that don’t DO anything!😁

[@carlbrothers]

+ one for the Outtakes. Which is one of the reasons I take SOOO Long when doing some things as I try to work out a lot in my head before I execute. And even then make mistakes as I try to get in a hurry. When fixing the Neutrik plugs to my tools, I too had a similar error in assembly.

[@PaganWizard]

How do you get the emojis in your post?? I don't even have the option.

[@peetkoolstra3891]

Let start with your great humor. I was watching this when I was laying down with pain, and this kind of videos make it much easier. And you have a lot of practical ideas.

[@FishersShop]

Hey thanks! Glad you like it

[@GunflintDesigns]

I believe I speak for everyone when I say that we need a breakdancing followup video.

[@FishersShop]

I'd need paramedics on standby 😂

@@FishersShop On my way

[@jbfabrocks]

YES!!!!

[@chrissimonton9939]

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Um, yes. Need this.

[@ringeradi]

Great idea, I'm thinking of modifying it to be my picture matting station. I can keep the cutters, tools and materials assembled and in one place. LOVE the humor.

[@FishersShop]

That's a great idea!

[@jdgindustries2734]

I miss sharing your videos with my late fiance... She loved your "unnecessary walnut" additions... Thank you for another good memory.

[@greggr4852]

Great Plans. Ended up using 2x4 lumber for the table sides and legs so I didn't have to glue up plywood. After squaring up the edges of the 2x4, I got good crisp edges to glue my tabletops to. The legs also looked more solid.

[@FishersShop]

Right on!

[@FishersShop]

[READ ME FIRST!] Hey everyone! Hope you liked the video! Here's some answers to most of the questions I've been getting so far so please read through all of these first before to make sure it hasn't already been answered. The last thing you want to do is to look like a Tray Face and ask a question that's already been covered. Q: What CNC is that? A: It's the OneFinity CNC "Woodworker" model Q: Can you run the CNC in the vertical or upside down position?? A: Not vertical for sure. The stepper motors aren't designed to fight against the weight of the gantry. Upside down could potentially work but would be near impossible to setup your job ahead of time in that position. Since you can't rotate the table 180-degrees without having to disconnect cables, it's not even worth trying. Q: What's the overall size of the table surface? A: 48 inches wide by 46 1/2 inches deep Q: How tall is the table surface off the ground? A: Depends if you use the same casters as I did. If you do, then it's 37 3/4" tall. Q: Can I use it as an outfeed table? A: Yes of course. See the previous question for the height of the table. If your saw is shorter than that, you'll have to shim it up to be level. Q: Is it perfectly flat? A: I tried to keep it perfectly flat but there's always going to be imperfections in glue-ups. If I need a perfectly flat surface for a large CNC operation, I can clamp on a temporary waste board and flatten it prior to carving the project. Q: Looks like it wobbles. Won't that affect CNC performance? A: In the shot where it looks like it was wobbling, most of that was because I didn't have the casters locked. But there's always going to be a little bit of a wobble since the table has wheels. No, it won't affect CNC operation because the gantry itself is screwed down to the surface. Q: Where's the CNC controller?? A: It's internally wired and mounted inside of the top pull-out drawer. The spindle, the controller, and the touch-screen display are all internally wired to that single extension cord that comes out of the table making it super convenient for me. Q: Where are the gantry-control cables? A: They're coiled up inside the drawer connected to the controller. Whenever I want to use the CNC, I set up the table, open the drawer to access the controller, plug the gantry-control cables into the CNC and use the machine. Q: How come you didn't internally wire the gantry control cables too? A: There's just not enough room in the 3/4" Tee-connector. There's the extension cord, the controller power cable, and the power cord for the touch-screen display. There's just no room for 4 more cables. If I had made the axle with 1" pipe instead, then maybe I could have gotten away with it. But to be honest, this works just fine for me. Q: What's that blue thing? I need a link for the leveling feet! What casters are those? How many sheets of plywood did it take? etc. etc. etc. A: Everything is detailed out in the plans. ( www.fishersshoponline.com/plans ) Q: Can you really breakdance? A: No...and thanks for making me feel bad about it, Big Drawer Face! I'm not crying, you're crying!

[@tobiaswoodard9754]

FYI, your url to the plans included the ")" at the end so it takes you to a 404 error.

[@FishersShop]

@@tobiaswoodard9754 fixed. thanks

[@johnjss]

@fishershop Would you recommend the onefinity cnc? Wasn’t sure I could fit one into my shop until I watched your video

[@LongTailWoodcraft]

Flattening awasteboard with the CNC won't result in a flat wasteboard, unless the CNC is mounted on a flat table. But if the base table isn't flat, the CNC isn't flat... you can see where there's an issue.

[@intoart340]

This is the first video of yours i have seen. Really good table design and I see others in there too. I am commenting because of your voice and way of speaking. You should really send out your video's as an example of your ability and quality for narration, product demo video's, voice over etc. Really. It is quite pleasant to listen to you. Humor is always good in a subtle smooth way. Your delivery is excellent. Please don't poo poo this away. Your voice and manner is widely needed. It would be a nice extra revenue stream for you. I am a 68 yr. old man and listening to you is calming and peaceful with NO music thank god ! Rick

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Rick! I might have to do that

[@johncawkwell7995]

This is giving me some serious ideas for maximising space in the shop, plus I have to say the main reason I love your videos is for the outtakes - nice little reminder that even the pros make mistakes and lose nuts during projects.

[@FishersShop]

Glad to help!

[@blainetrain2299]

I spent 13 mins of this 18 minute video not even realizing I was watching the wrong video. It's a credit to your work and commentary. Great work.

[@FishersShop]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Rendil420]

Your outtakes make me feel so much better knowing that I’m not the only one who makes stupid mistakes and keeps everything so real. Thanks for another great walkthrough

[@FishersShop]

You got it! Thanks, Keith

[@OurHomesteadingAdventures]

I love this! All of it, the design, build, commentary, outtakes, it was fun to watch.

[@FishersShop]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jimjohnson5787]

I love that you put your outtakes and oh crap moments at the end! More people need to see that the struggle is real in woodworking lol

[@scottmoore598]

I love you humor and editing style. Too many videos spend 5 minutes showing the same step over and over, yet you make 5 seconds of screwing 8-10 screws sound like ducks quacking. Love the out takes too.

[@FishersShop]

Haha yup

[@mbatson13]

I love that your woodworking projects are either completely unique or a definite improvement on a older design (flip carts & inlay work).

[@FishersShop]

Thanks so much!

[@DanPrudlow]

I have the same CNC coming at the end of May...I really like this idea for my space...might still be able to shoehorn one car in the garage in the winter.

[@b3ardedbarbarian]

Thank you so much for this video. I've had a horrible day and really needed these laughs. I love all your videos and appreciate the outtakes. It's nice to know I'm not the only one that has stuff like that happen.

Glad I could help, Michael! :)

Nice! What's the cash prize?

[@robertwhite537]

NICE!! One suggestion: maybe consider a thin layer of shellac on the worksurface side...to keep it clean from any glue spills, etc. I am always impressed with your projects and how useful you make them! Blessings, Robert

[@theodurbin8672]

Looks really well conceived and built, Mr. Fisher.

[@theodurbin8672]

also that shop CNC is no joke

[@Not_TVs_Frank]

I don't have space for something like this, but I watched anyway because there's always so much to learn from your videos. Thanks!

[@Andy-te6jj]

until you watch the outtakes 😁😁😁

[@carlmclelland7624]

Drew, if I wasn't Totally impressed with this project, the out takes made my day!!! Just to let you know, you're not the only one, I built a cabinet today, that fitted a series of drawers inside the cabinet that holds my metal lathe. Everything was coming together great until............. It seems I allowed for the 1/2" spacing on each side of the slides, and then allowed for the 1/2" spacing AGAIN for the slides. Imagine my delight when I went to install the first drawer.... only to discover a 1" gap!!!!!

[@FishersShop]

Been there and done that many times! Haha. Thanks, Carl!

[@SawdustmakerLori]

Another brilliant project! Thanks for sharing and also for your keen sense of humor. I always learn something and get a good laugh at the same time!!!

I for one have taken great relief in the fact that your creative material aquisition skills haven't been diminished by the madness that so encompasses us. Take heart that you have saved your neighbor the grief of having to maintain all that plywood wall cladding. Kudos to you young man.

[@vikingslayer34]

Your neighbor's former patio/garage/stairs/whateveritwasusedfor wood is making your shop look amazing. You should get him a 6 pack of PBR for his generosity. Make sure to drink 5 of them, you know, so he doesn't have to drink alone.

[@deejayduy]

awesome build.. really good use of a mobile work table and saving room.. great idea.. i might have to make one, one of these days.. Thanks for sharing..

Go for it!

[@BluBuryPi]

I hope your neighbour appreciates just how clever you are!

[@arbuilds]

that is the coolest thing I have seen in a while, space saving to another level. I ruled out the possibility to ever have a CNC machine in my shop for 2 reasons cost and size, I would like a 4x4. This mobile table solves the size limitation now I just have to find out if there other CNC machines like this for lower cost. Thank u Fisher for giving me something new to dream about.

[@FishersShop]

Glad you liked it!

[@johan5628]

I like your clamps, they have such a nice sound! My own sounds so boring, not poppin!

[@stevenleadbeater7069]

I love that you add the outtakes! Great idea for saving space.

[@kevincasey2947]

I realize the table passed the bucket of lard test, but when you fold the legs down, does the radius of swing prohibit the leveling foot from fully contacting the floor and keep the leg from becoming perpendicular, thus allowing the table surface to rock back & forth just a bit when all 4 legs are deployed? Do you have to lift the whole assembly up just a bit to fully deploy the last legs? Is the shimmy in the table you demonstrated in the clamp hold down test acceptable to you for the CNC routing?

[@FishersShop]

The leveling feet touch the floor for all four legs snugly. So yes, you have to almost lift up on the table to get the last 2 feet deployed perpendicular. The table shook in that shot mainly because I didn't have the casters locked. But yes, the wobble is fine. It won't affect the performance of the machine at all

Side note: using pan head screws greatly lessens the likelihood of splitting as compared to the tapered countersunk screws. Can always counterbore them slightly if you want them to be flush with surface.
