I like the side table boxes for storage, great idea!

I have the identical saw in a Metabo brand. I built a table for it, ditched the original fence, and mounted a Delta T2 fence to the front of the table and it worked wonders for me. Was about $200 when I bought it. May be like 300 now. Honestly for the cost of the saw and the fence together I should have bought a delta table saw and been done with it.

For wheels and castors, try theatrical chandlers. The moment I heard the suggestion a few years ago, it made so much sense. Huge variety, lots of specification details... they have to be both good and specific for safety and rapid movement of heavy, unbalanced, or lightweight items often in the dark. Maybe slightly more expensive than Amazon but a more ethical purchase in terms of tax paid by the corporation and you can get exactly what you want, even call them for advice

Yes i learn and have fun

Lovely of you

Vsauce?

Don't "Just make sure you use a combination blade". Get all three: crosscut, combination, and rip and use appropriately. Even a cheap saw can produce immaculate crosscuts using a crosscut blade

The problem is that if You copy something You don't know the difficultes and what it requires.

5:00 “Dan, what would I use reverse for?” Threading bits have left the chat! 😳

You could make a bigger hand wheel for the fence. A larger OD would allow for more precision.

I didn't have time to finish watching everything, but I will definitely come back for the useful information. So thank you very much and I recommend a socket splitter with a gaglat, it will help you with the tools. (You are definitely welcome to overdo it and buy a portable home power bank. It is always good)

Right when you said "got to make sure we have clearance" the quote "You have clearance, Clarance" came into my head, then you posted the clip. Perfect

Some one get this guy new cordless tools!

“Visible pocket holes is the sign of a good craftsman”. You see? You teach me every time. I just did not know that until you said it. 😂😂😂😂😂

Great vid fella. Only one thing to be aware of is the plastic front sheet is likely to vibrate against the plywood front facia underneath....more glue egor! Oh and you will get edge diffraction as the sound bounces off the front 'raised' edges. And one more tip, you have the cabinets rammed up against a wall so the ports cant 'breath' reducing your bass response, they need to come forward at least 50cm, preferably a good 1.5m. But, what an epic build, clearly incredibly skilled in woodwork.

Wish you had put the cabinet pattern on the back pieces.

Yes I’ve got one but it doesn’t cut box joints accurately

That's more than a dandy. Still too big for my lil shop.

Would these joints make a frame stronger compared to a square or rectangle frame with 45° corner supports? Im trying to make a platform that will support a very heavy gondola shelving system. Loaded the system will weigh around 2000 pounds.

LOVE this video… and so excited for this series!!!

This is a great design and tutorial, and so customizable. Awesome job Dave.

Haha you taped up the festool on your drill

I have been using shellac flakes and love how the finish dries so quickly. Two days and your done and no smell in the shop. What I have been looking into is what you can add to the shellac to make it into a satin finish. One was silica, and another was a product that could be purchased from a finishing company where it seemed that every ingredient had a msds sheet attached. This looks like a finish I have been looking for... safe and non toxic. I thank you for posting this video.

What brand is that table saw?

Its a bora centipede

Cheap saws I've have sloppy miter slots - hope you got a better one ... devil / details

The problem with corded tools is that the cords aren't 9' long. And the drills dont have a clutch.

Do you happen to have plans for this build out? Asking for a friend…👍🏻

The pocket holes could have been on the inside if you used the long piece :)

Not exactly what you asked about, but look into the BOW xtender fence system. Doesn’t address the rack & pinion issue, but you can at least get a quality fence and will be able to increase the overall safety of your saw. Awesome video btw. One day my ADHD brain will get one built 😂

What a great, practical project. Jobsite saws can be both equal parts great for their compact nature, but also equally shite because of how hard it is to use them without outfeed tables, wrong work height, etc. I bought a Milwaukee cordless jobsite saw a couple years back and don't know that I'd ever have much use for a full, corded saw. At the same time, it's little rinky-dink stand and no outfeed make it seriously annoying to use and the table is so small a crosscut sled is pretty much impossible to use as well. This video has given me a multitude of ideas to revisit at some point when I have the space to actually make that saw function efficiently. I'll definitely be referring back to this video when the time comes. Also, I have that same Fien dust extractor - it's nice, quiet performer without breaking the bank (but still a LOT more expensive than a big-box shop vac - but hey, at least it's not Festool-expensive).

Only thing more scary than a corded drill is a 20V cordless one. They are very heavy and extremely torquey. If it binds it can literally break your wrist because it’s too heavy to stop it. Like trying to turn a car without power steering.

Nice build, but my OCD can't ignore the fact it doesn't line up with the door or the mirror.

Whats with the measuring. Inches plus half inch plus quater of an inch plus point75 of an inch. I suppose you are making a start. Ya gotta start somewhere

Mad respect for the black wing pencil!

Always buy the best no knock offs or you lose your finger or 2 ouch Sorry . No wobble wobble in my Shop .

Are you part of that 'OK Go' band?

Awesome easy upgrades for the saw. I finally made a crosscut sled for my full-sized table saw and it's been great. I would love an afternarket fence though. Still looking for options. Thanks for sharing!

For an add-on fence, I think the Delta Model 36-Txxx is an excellent choice. I put one on my hand-me-down Craftsman saw and it made a world of difference. Home Depot usually has a good price on them for some reason. Really easy to retrofit. I made a similar cart for my saw and I did not use the back rail choosing to have the back end of the fence glide.

Well one caveat, the small jobsite saw doesn’t have the power to cut thick stuff. But I guess if you’re making cabinets it would work fine. Get a decent JS SAW and just trick it out. Nice idea🎉😮

you've never had a bit break on you?

Great job. My only recommendation would be to round the corners of the whole cart, because uh ………..accidental groin/thigh contact while walking around.

Slow golf clap, well done. Lolz taking inspiration for a table saw table while sipping a 9 yr old cellared French wine from Australia. Have a small shop I’m working on atm, maybe I’ll make my table saw a bit shorter like you have here an use a second flip flop mitre saw table as extended outfeed feed instead of make my the table saw table 2400mm long

Dave, you’re looking great! You mentioned on Making It you were doing stuff this year, and it shows. Aging in reverse! Oh yeah, the video, the table…. I’m gonna build one. Reckon a melamine top would be a good or bad idea?

Limitation is the secret to innovation 🎉

Love the concept to somewhat improve a contractor’s saw but the cross cut sled was WAY too big for that set up. It’s still a wolf disguised as a sheep. But still enjoyed the bench build. 👍🏻

You guys are the best thank you

have you ever heard of space bags? uses a shop vac. made for vacuum sealing clothing. but its a vacuum port one way valve. + a bag. if you need it bigger cut the ends and tape on more plastic.

TFW your favorite woodworker implies that cam out sound effects will be added for old time's sake and then none are added, despite SO MANY opportunities. Another one sells out to Big Cam. 🤥😓

I wish I knew of an aftermarket fence (at a reasonable price...) for myself. I have a Bosch contractor saw. it is surprisingly weak (upside: no chance of a kickback! LOL), but my biggest problem with it is the fence. the damn thing is very VERY hard to be set straight. there is almost always a small tilt to it. if it was a really small error, I can live with it. I am not chasing perfection here. I am talking about 1 to 2 mm for the length of the fence... (1mm is about a 1/16th if I remember correctly). really annoying.
