I cut them longways because the wood grain is visible and it looks better that way. With solid wood that’s the way it’s always done for strength. With plywood it’s strong from either direction so it’s mainly aesthetic.

@@jaredmortondesigns7258 Thanks for the fast reply, I was thinking the same thing long ways, but for convenience for me cutting the other way would be easier.

Use a piece of coat hanger with a bend so end is right above the ends of the table. Spin round and round to level.

There’s a bolt underneath the table pointing toward the back that allows you to loosen and pivot the table side to side. You can turn the table to 90 degrees that way. There’s a lever underneath in the center that allows you to swivel the table like a record. Other than that there isn’t a way to adjust the table. In the back you can move the table assembly left to right. If the table is out of square front to back there isn’t a way I can see to square it.

Thanks for watching. The bars are 30mm diameter and 1500mm long. They were expensive. I think about $80 each. They also weigh 20 lbs (9kg) each. The idea of the rear handle saw was I wanted the option to lay the saw flat and be able to push the saw all the way across. In practice I haven’t used it that way because the whole thing is so heavy I don’t want to bother moving it. The strength of the cable isn’t really an issue because it only needs to hold about 15 lbs and that size cable is rated for 200 or so. You could build a sled like this to be dual purpose by setting up holes/brackets for both a router and circular saw in the base. I thought about doing that and may add it in the future. But it has been very useful having it there on the wall because I don’t have much space in my garage shop. It’s real convenient to just pop a battery in and make a quick cut any time. The rest of my tools I put away when I’m not actively working on a project.

@@jaredmortondesigns7258 Hey man.. Thanks for the reply. Appreciate it very much. I'm thinking of building something myself atm. I'm also building my own home built table saw bcos I'm not spending that much on a real one with the cast Iron top. I would love to have the money to buy a Harvey table saw ALPHA SERIES 52" but I don't have 3,000 to pay for it. This is a brilliant piece of work u built man. I hope to make something similar soon. It definitely will not be as good as yours is but as long as I can get straight clean cuts I'll be happy.. Take care man and keep doing ur thing.. Salute from Dublin, IRE.

Thanks for asking. The back rest is 11° and the surface that touches the floor is 15°.

What I did was get some oversized washers and grind them flat on either side. Then just put a bolt up through the washers and slide them into those big t-slot grooves. Then you can just use regular hold down clamps on top.

I'm not sure what you mean.

@@jaredmortondesigns7258 I’m referring to the spacing from each of your vertical support pieces

I see. The spacing is about 18 inches. That seemed like the right number of compartments for the size of the bench.

Just over 4"

Yes, I did some maple cabinets and the recessed hinge bit went through the maple like butter. That’s not a particularly large bit but that’s the biggest I’ve done.

Thanks for watching! I upholstered the cushions myself with 1/4:" Plywood and staples. I tried to video that process but my camera was acting up and there was just too much footage lost. Anyway there are a lot of videos showing the process on youtube. What I did was really basic.

Thanks for asking! The ply is 3/4" or metric equivalent birch 11 layer. The sheets start at 4'x8'.

I'm sorry to say I don't. I made so many changes from when I made my original list that the list I have probably wouldn't do much good.

I just downloaded an image of a star from the web and scaled it in photoshop to the size I wanted. Then printed it out and cut it out with some scissors. Then I traced the pattern on the wood and taped it off.

Thank you for your response!

A drill, circular saw, saw, pocket hole jig- these are all tools attainable for the average diy person. $14 harbor freight gun run from a $100 hf compressor. I didn't even use a table saw. I built the panel saw myself, which you can substitute a circular saw for. I am not a professional and I did it myself, which by definitions makes it diy.

@@jaredmortondesigns7258 There's always one in the comments lol

Face it, you’ll never do it yourself without the right tools, no matter what. Quit crying.

The bar is about 4 1/8" long.

Good question. I actually do plan to extend the extruded base. I purchased a 6 ft extrusion a while back but haven't gotten around to replacing it. I plan to make a follow up video discussing upgrades when I finally get around to that.

@@jaredmortondesigns7258 cool, thanks for the follow up.

This was modeled and rendered in Maya 2018. Thanks for your interest!

The housing isn't perfectly straight because it's just got 3 attachment points (the 2 hinges and the catch). That and it being just stamped metal is going to prevent it being very straight. That's not going to affect performance though. I haven't noticed alot of runout but I've just used it on wood mostly. You should put a dial on it and see how much you have. You'd really tell with a long bit. If it isnt easily correctable see about warranty. I think the way the chuck goes on it might be easy to introduce a wobble if it isnt seated straight when you tap it.

It's real good because it's supported in front and back all the way down. Also when you sit there you overlap the vertical cross board that makes up the back of the rack. The middle shelf being permanently attached with pocket holes adds to the rigidity. It shows no movement when I apply my 220 lbs.

I went with solid 30mm rails because mine was longer than jsk and also I could not figure out where to get the hollow ones. I couldnt find pipes that fit any bearings. Anyway the rails were expensive and they're also very heavy. If you can make it work with hollow rails it's worth a try.

All I have is a cut plan. I used a 3d program that isn't intended for building for some of my planning and I just winged it for some of it. I can send you the images of the cut plan if that would help.

Thank you very much I think that could help. although if that's just what you show at the beginning of the video I can probably just screengrab that.

@@markbott7753 yea. It's the same

I used these brackets on the top of the back and then the bottom has large stick on velcro patches. The seats are just velcro. www.amazon.com/Sydien-Universal-Interlock-Furniture-Connector/dp/B07Q2V1XSP?pd_rd_w=hzAkY&pf_rd_p=1a37ebd3-847a-476b-b9f6-6ca64f4f5919&pf_rd_r=NAERY5HA1S7E5X2P8PRW&pd_rd_r=28f4b2c7-9b70-4805-98f9-809646d0f7e5&pd_rd_wg=9wPCN&pd_rd_i=B07Q2V1XSP&psc=1&ref_=pd_bap_m_rp_34_sc

The rails were from ebay and just about everything else was from amazon.

Thank you very much!

Sure, behind where the table attaches to the main shaft there is a bolt with a swiveling lever to tighten the table. So you can loosen to crank the table up and down and tighten to fix it in place. I hope that helps.

@@jaredmortondesigns7258 I’m gonna have to try that. The table will still rotate in place if I turn it. I must not have it tight enough. Thank you for the reply!

@@kevinb6102 There's one tightening bolt installed at 1:49 that will allow tightening and loosening the swivel of the table. Then I don't guess I filmed installing the one on the back of the piece that tightens the table assembly to the main shaft but you can see it's the one on the left starting at 2:18 which is the exact type of lever bolt that's under the table. Anyway that will tighten the table where it doesn't pivot if you get it tight enough. It's kind of hard to get it tight enough. In fact that's the only gripe I have so far with the drill. I wish it tightened using a more convenient method.

Unfortunately I'm late here, but if you put the tightening bolt with he handle on the right side and not the left it fails to tighten all the way. Hope this helps someone.😂

​@@mournx701yep, thats what I was doing wrong. Thank you.

@@jaredmortondesigns7258 thanks

I'll have another video soon using the saw on a project. I am also going to show a couple of minor upgrades.
