Registrace 30. 08. 2017
I am just an average craftsman trying to make it in this crazy world. DIY projects are fun and I've always wanted to get into video production so this seemed like a perfect opportunity to hone my skills at both.
I'll be dabbling in woodworking, home improvement, shop projects, and hopefully welding and metalworking.
I also have a website (theaveragecraftsman.com) where I write detailed build articles, tool reviews, and general random musings of things that interest me (and hopefully you as well).
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy my content. If you'd like to suggest a project, contact me on my website.
One more thing, these videos are for entertainment purposes only. Woodworking and other DIY projects can be dangerous. Do at your own risk and don't be stupid.

Scrap Wood Storage Cart

Every shop eventually needs a scrap wood storage cart.

Thank You Sir!! I am your NEWEST Subscriber!! See ya again real soon!! Nite-Nite!! 💤💤💤
A "square" insert is good, but why not a "round" one, instead?
Love the Entry!😂😂😂
Is there any advantage to using a Forstner bit in the drill press for the first slot holes? I've watched a number of these clamp storage videos and most (all the ones I've watched) use the Forstner...seems like a small thing so I'm wondering....Good straight forward instructions...thanks!
Six of one, half dozen of the other. Not really sure why I picked a twist bit or didn't pick a forstner bit. Both do the job equally well in this instance.
Комментарий в поддержку канала и ролика, а также труда мастера.
Спасибо. Я ценю, что вы смотрели видео и комментировали.
Best home made table I’ve seen so far. Intend to make one for my bench press. Absolutely loved the ‘offset insert’. Puzzled until you explained the rotational aspect. Just a totally brilliant tip!!!
Thank you, Peter. I appreciate you watching the video and taking time to comment.
I love the end result, it's beautiful! Good to see you back on the channel. Thanks for sharing your domino mistake, I don't know how many times I've made that same mistake.
Thanks!
Very informative. I would like to build one but I don't have the extensive range of tools you have😂.
Whatever, you can easily build this with minimal tools.
Great Job, Thanks for the vid. a fair bit of it was a bit fast foe me to follow though. but over all not bad. The finished product is very nice.
Thanks, William.
Great job! I ordered your plans but the download didn’t happen. Do you send them via email? If not how do I get what I paid for?
Hi Amy, thanks for watching and purchasing the plans. I am sorry you're having trouble with them. I've emailed you.
Pretty amazing work, Tim! It looks fantastic! 😃 It's great to see you back! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks!
It’s absolutely gorgeous! Love that you went with an oil finish as it’ll be so much easier to keep protected and new long term! I need to get some of that. I don’t know if I’d build mine with cedar or maybe oak is just fine in the elements. Either way it’s gorgeous and will be a joy for the owner to use! I’ll stick with my Titebond III thank you for demonstrating that glue. Other woodworkers I’ve watched use it complain about the same thing so I prefer my normal water proof or resistant wood glue
Thank you so much! When I get into projects I end up getting stuck with my plan a lot of the times. Had I stopped and thought about it a minute I would have used Titebond III for most everything but it didn't really dawn on me to switch till the end of the project. Live and learn! Thanks for watching!
Tim, it's been a few days since your last update. Glad to see you're back. - Chris
Yeah, it's been a while. I actually built this in 2020 and delivered it the day the world shut down. I've had the video edited for years but I didn't want to release it till I had plans to go along with it and I finally finished the plans last week! I have 30 other projects filmed and ready to edit. Hoping to try and keep a more regular schedule but the plans just take so much time. Thanks for watching!
Some would say I'm average. Hilarious. Glad to see your back. Been waiting a while for a new video. Keep up the great work 👍
Thanks, Scott! Hoping to get back on a somewhat regular schedule with videos but we'll see how it goes.
Thank you. Just the style and plans I was looking for. Appreciate it.
Thank you and thank you for purchasing the plans.
So you need a tablesaw, a miter saw, a router, a spindle sander, a belt sander and a decent size shop to built this 23x14" table ?
No, you do not need all that but, since I have it, I'll go ahead and use it.
What about tilting the table?
yo the sponsor Segway🤣😂
Seen you have several WEN machines, how do you like them?
For the price, they are alright. The sanders and air cleaner work well and as expected. The bandsaw is decent once you but a good blade on it. As for the drill press, the chuck isnt great, or at least mine isnt, but I havent spent a lot of time trying to get it tuned. It works well enough but could be a lot better probably with some care. If they are all you can afford, I would recommend them but you'd definitely be happier with a higher quality item.
@@TheAverageCraftsman I currently have a Bauer 10" from Harbor Freight. The only issue is it has the screw type depth stop that I've always hated on a drill press. My 20 year old Delta 10" had the collar type like yours does and I loved it. Had to sell it 2 years ago sadly, along with the rest of my woodworking machines, but that's a story in it self. The Bauer does what I need just wish the stop was better, and it's hard to change speeds on it. Will have to do more research I guess. Thanks!
One thing I love about the Wen drill press is that it is variable speed so no belt nonsense.
@@TheAverageCraftsman Got mine delivered today, set up was good. I will add a light to it for sure. I have no issues with the chuck, and those can be replaced. It's a tad stiff and not as free moving as I'd like but I'm good with it. Boy is it TALL! Will have to adjust my mobile cart by taking off the casters, and lowering it 4 inches. Drills good and straight and yes the variable speed is great. Might have to adjust the tension so I can change speeds a bit easier if it's possible.
what is 4/4 walnut lumber??
Great build man! Come back and make more content!
yep defo my next project ,thanks for sharing,
Very easy and straightforward. I built four of these so I didn't put too much weight on it. Thanks for this.
Great vid! I have the exact same model, and that crank handle is such a pain. I liked your work around. I need to build something better than what I slapped together the first time. I’ll be rewatching this when the time comes. 🙌
Very good! But The sacrificial piece wouldnt be better if it was round and not square? Many more positions would be possible than just 4 or 8. Am I wrong? Do I miss somethimg?
good job
Just push some glue in the de laminated part and use caul and clamps to repair l
Good table and good vid but we could do without the loud music.
no wonder you have no sponsors. Boring. Zero personality. Fun level -50.
Purchased: August 2023 - still works GREAT!I czcams.com/users/postUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install. This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment. I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!
Thanks for taking time to document the table. Question ... why 1 1/2" thick?
IMO, your videos would be much easier to watch if you didn't tell us what you plan to do, then show us the process while VERY annoying music plays. You should just video what you are doing, then voice-over while doing it. I tun off the audio while the music plays, it's intolerable.
Really liked the overall quality of the unit czcams.com/users/postUgkxajoEbapTfqWaadnqb04h6U576yxXp-FE . No, it's not a professional level drill press. I bought this product for one reason and one reason only: it adds value to a product I already have (a dremel tool).I was able to use this tool to secure my dremel. Dremel owners and users probably can sympathize that often holding your oddly shaped (and sometimes fragile) workpiece and the dremel at the same time can be cumbersome. This completely eliminates the need to hold the dremel, which is a huge overall improvement to control.I would consider this a must have for anyone who regularly uses a dremel.
Great video! That cabinet is more than adequate! 😄 Can you tell me about that folding trailer in the background? Who makes it and where did you get it from? Thanks.
Northern Tool. Here's a link www.northerntool.com/products/ultra-tow-4ft-x-8ft-folding-aluminum-utility-trailer-kit-1170-lb-load-capacity-49803. There are also steel versions that are a bit cheaper at Northern Tool and Harbor Freight. Thanks for watching!
Very nice content... very professional.
So how short are the screws that are used to attach the t track to the fence??
I think I used 1/2".
Man wish I had found your channel sooner love this build. I started making some shop furniture with 2x4s. Your method seems much more practical and less complicated.
Round insert makes more sense
Quick, clean and easy... I like it !😉 I'm going to get this done today...
Amazing job! I like the style of your vids. Was excited to follow another channel but now see it's been two years since an upload. Hope your okay. If so you should share more content. 👍
I'm replacing my drill press table following your design. I have a trim router mounted underneath on my old table and want to add it to your design. I'm going to have tracks go all the way to front end. Did you use a dado cartridge when you installed the blades? I'm wondering if I can get by without one. Thanks for showing us your design. Kudos.
Great job. How does it perform in a wood shop situation? How are you dealing with dust mitigation?
Now I know where all of the “ how much do you charge to come vacuum my mini split?” come from 😂
If you have your fence installed and want to add a hold down clamp to the table in the t track, how do you accomplish that?
Nice build! Planning to do something along these lines. Re: casters, 3” casters roll much more easily, especially if there is any sawdust on the floor, cords, etc. Go with poly or thermoplastic (synthetic) rubber (TPR), not “natural” rubber.
Nice job
I’ve looked at a lot of drill press tables on CZcams this is the one I’m gonna build. 😊
Had to stop watching because the LISTENING experience with the crap music was unbearable.
It's strange that all these install videos for a split system never once show what you did installing the condensation hose.
