Well thought out. This bench is art - seriously. I wish black mdf was more common in the us.
Thanks again Dennis for your knowledge and honest opinion
Awesome video. I love your attention to detail and precision.
Wow Dennis your channel has really grown, you’ve built a great community and thank you for sharing these mft accessories
Thanks a bunch for the reviews, Dennis! Really fantastic products! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Nice presentation Denis
Someone else suggested a review of TSO tools. I second that suggestion
Beautiful mft table
Great video Dennis.
This was the video i needed :) thanks
That Bench Dogs fence with the cutout looks super interesting, particularly for my system. Thanks for another great presentation!
They also do a short fence for use on the waste side of the track.
Another great video Dennis and I'm going to be buying your plans for the work bench.....
Thanks for your support🙏🏻. Have fun building!
Kind Sir Dennis...I just bought a kit by UJK Parf Mark II Guide System. And I love it. Recuse Peter Parfitt had a hand in that awesome item. And, they are very accurate. Really. Thank you Sir for showing it to us.
The quality of the video and lighting in this is really fantastic here!!
Thank, I do a lot to improve myself on these points, and I am thankful you can see the difference. 😊
I’ve been watching you for years and it’s great to see your success growing, your videos are Informing and entertaining to watch, thanks for the content
Thanks David. Great you following so long. Very much appreciated :-)
Another great video!!
It has me thinking, inserts that slide into the T track! Then, you regain the clean cut on the underside of the work peace.
Overall, the T track insert is a great idea as it saves the nice bench top from needing replacement.
I am on my third bench, designed with an aluminium frame to fit on high-end saw horses. It all fits in the back of my estate. Un like MFT, it is bigger and very strong.
The top is in four sections being joined using the UJK fence with dogs. This makes the top go together the same every time.
It's all great kit.
Bedankt.
There’s so many amazing tools and jigs on the market but if it’s possible to make I’ll give it a go I love the challenge and the joy it brings if it works out and of course it’s cheaper on the pocket
Awesome video Dennis! Great suggestions for a workspace in which you can’t fit a table saw.
Nice list, you never go wrong with BenchDog tools. Raising your board or using a t-track on a MFT is missing one of it's BEST feature. No tear out on bottom 😱
I don't quite understand - don't you put a sacrificial piece under your workpiece to prevent tearout? Would an empty space like the one in the t-track not increase tearout and also worsen dust extraction of the plunge saw?
@@kristofer_ to me that's what it sounds like they're saying
I've used the long Wnew dowel jig for dog holes. Drilled 8mm holes for references 96mm apart with jig along left side of MFT. From there took a piece of plywood & drilled 5 x 8mm holes similarly in 2 rows (to check accuracy), attached router centered on hole in middle right row, stuck 8mm pins in left row, always have 3 pins minimum then for ref, & used 20mm to cut in dog holes along 2nd row. Then replaced pins with threaded dogs & cut the rest at 20mm. Checked as I went & all lined up near enough perfect to not have any issues.
2nd time round I picked up a Bosch FN RA 32 1200 second hand for €40 & got the Bosch pin fitting & slide for €40 new, used an alu plate & some plywood to attach to Makita router & saved a load of time.
To make accurate dog holes doesn't require these more expensive jigs - if you have a bit of creativity & time to spare.
I love your stuff. It's so precision orientated.
Id I buy your work benh plan does it over both the saw area and the the use of a router table?
I have quite a small basement so the best I could get would be a portable table saw to use. I think a track saw is a far better option apart from ploughing. in which case I'd use a router.
I have the Incra fence plate and love it! However, the rail square seems to be off by about 1mm from top to bottom on my cuts no matter what I try when I used it alone on cuts 300 to 450 mm or so. Perhaps I am expecting too much precision? All of the other Bench Dogs products I have I like. Same with UJK. Both make great tools and ship to Canada which is awesome!
Great video Dennis! I use several of these items and they work as described. Thanks again for providing this video.
I love the video, and your channel is great. Do you have a build video for the height adjustable mobile bench?. I see you working on? I love the onboard storage for the dog hole accessories
It will come in the future!
Hey Dennis, I really appreciate your reviews. I was wondering if you've had a chance to review the GoHelper Square Ruler, it seems like it has more features than a woodpecker equivalent, and their quick square is great, too if 731's review was accurate.
Dennis, can I ask how you are getting on with the Festool cordless track saw
Hi Dennis, what is the vise that you have on your workbench please?
Hey Hookedonwood, me and my father are two big fans of yours. We are almost done realizing the routing table from the China Tools you suggested and it's turning out great. We would really like to know what finish you use on black mdf in order to obtain such a beautiful look on your work benches! Thank you for the videos
I use Rubio monocoat pure. If you want more resistance to glue, you can add some wax after Rubio.
@@HookedonWood Thank you so much , you responded so fast 🤯
Great video, although my wallet doesn't thank you
Yeah, I feel your pain... 😂
Hi. You should review TSO and Sauter Shop stuff in part 3 if you do another accessory video.
Great Idea, I will keep it in mind.
Hi Dennis, ik start een nieuwe hobby en heb als eerste projectje een MFT werkbank gemaakt. Heel veel inspiratie opgedaan via jouw videos! Vraagje: krijg je geen "tear-out" van je plaatmateriaal als je zaagt boven zo'n t-profiel? Dank en keep it up!
Recently found your channel - liked and subscribed - I have a Woodpecker's "Track clamp bench top" replacement top for my MFT. I like the added ability to use the clamps in the slots with more flexibility. LOTS of t-track slots in a grid pattern, in addition to the 20mm hole patterns. They recommend using one of the T-slots as a cut slot for track saw cutting, and I see that you also recommend that on your table. Does it add much to fill the t-slot with something to support the underside of the cut, or does it make a difference? If so, what would your recommend to fill the slot? Thanks - from Los Angeles!
Theoretical it should not make a difference because of the direction of the blade. The splinters will come at the top, when they exist. But I think it will give a slightly cleaner cut that can make a difference with cross cuts. Another benefit can be for better dust control. Because of the gab at the underside, dust will fly under your workpiece through the rail as well. When you block this, it is force to go up into the dust extraction from your plunge saw. Hope that help! Dennis
@@HookedonWood Hadn't thought of the dust control aspect - that's important. I can just cut some MDF strips to fit in the slot I guess. Thanks for the response and for the informative channel!
Goedendag Dennis.
Veel goede informatie! Ik heb een vraag over de "Veiko Rail Guide Clamps".
Ze passen in de mft table-gaten, maar dat is natuurlijk ook nog afhankelijk van de dikte van je blad.
Passen ze in jouw blad en welke dikte gebruik jij? (het blad wat ik gebruik is 19mm).
Groet, Hendrik
19 mm is goed. Anders zou je nog een kleine afkanting kunnen maken aan de onderzijde. Maar 19 mm zou normaal gesproken gewoon moeten werken
Hello Dennis.
I had a question. There’s always the debate between bench dogs and microjig. I’ve heard your thoughts about hang ups in cords and screws falling in the gaps. Have you considered building a top that has microjig on one end and bench dogs on the other side to make a hybrid in one table? I know some have done both in one bit I don’t think I’ve seen a split in one table. Could be interesting to save even more space.
I do not like an microjig top for the reasons you subscribe. I can do everything with the dog holes as well so I do not see the benefits of having a hybrid version that outweighs the disadvantage of the grooves.
thanks for the reply. Ill be building my table soon so ive been watching all your videos over an over again. love your design. only other person with a great concept is a guy on youtube by the name of pason woodworking. @@HookedonWood
Just thinking you could make an MDF say 2' x 2' piece with Microjig cross pattern grooves that you can fasten to the workbench with bench dogs and then use this for more flexible clamping when needed.
@@half_a_bubble_offyah I suppose you’re right. I still have a ways to go before I get there so I love all the ideas for when it’s time. Currently doing insulation in ceiling , new table saw, French clear wall, new electrical… pretty much whole new shop lol. Then comes the workbench.
@ Hooked On Wood What camera are you using to film, and which lens?
Hi forgot Axminster anchor dogs, great for jigs
Agree!
The PARF system does NOT give 'CNC style accuracy'. An analysis of the process shows there are many cumulative sources of inaccuracy- and this is borne out in measured practice. A CNC template is cheaper, faster, more accurate and can be used many times.
Workbench on wheels- you want the wheels on the inside- having them stick out is just an invitation to trip over them.
it says this vid is part 2. is there a part 1?
I have been looking but I can't find the video where you made the workbench in your thumbnail, can you link it?
Will be there in the future
What size is your larger work table?
Ben je ook van plan of een video te maken over je tafel welke je nu vooral gebruikt hebt in deze video?
Dat ga ik wel een keer doen, maar ik moet een nieuwe maken omdat deze niet volledig vlak is. Ik ga er een maken met een torsie box en verder nog wat aanpassingen van zaken die ik nu mis. Van die uitvoering ga ik een video maken.
Hoi Dennis, waarmee werk je het zwarte MDF af kwa finish?
Ik gebruik Rubio Monocoat pure. De laatste tijd doe ik er ook een laagje wax op als de Rubio goed droog is. Dit laat lijmresten iets makkelijker verwijderen.
@@HookedonWood Mag ik vragen of het aanbrengen van de Rubio Monocoat pure goed gaat in combinatie met de MFT gaten, dat de coating de gaten niet "verstopt", of breng je de coating aan voordat je de gaten boord ? Dank
@@hendrikswane2598 ik smeer mijn MFT tafel (normale MDF in met Rustins Danish Oil om het te beschermen tegen lijm resten etc, op de kopse kanten (zijkanten en mft gaten) trekt het in als een spons. Daar is het net of het niet behandeld is.
@@HookedonWood Ziet er netjes uit! Ik gebruik Rubio natural vaker om projecten van eiken af te werken. Maar nog nooit gebruikt op zwart MDF. Gebruik je dan een sanding dealer voor de kopse kanten? Je werkplaats ziet er echt super nice uit! Complimenten! 2 vraagjes. Waar koop jij je zwart MDF in? En gebruik je nog veel je CO2 laser van gweike? Ik ben aan het twijfelen er een aan te schaffen. Ik ben met name benieuwd naar hoe jij de rook afvoert.
could u please show your workbench in detail?
One day I will. But I have to make a new one because this one is not perfectly flat. So I have to make one with a torsion box and some other features I mess with this one. From that one, I will make a video.
Where is the part 1 ?
The bench dog rail square is not the best solution out there, by pushing outwards on the Alu with the the “convenient” clamping mechanism, this pushes the Alu, outward, the rails are design to have straight integrity with the outer edge *the rectification edge* that forms the extruded Alu “U” on the top, the clamps byte into the end of the rail, not only taking of square, but messing the end of the rail. Good luck with that!
Why should you damage the rail when clamping these rail squares? That is completely not necessary. I even think you will have a hard time trying it on purpose. The clamps touch the rail right on the edge at the underside of the "U," so it seems to me almost impossible.
@@HookedonWood have a look at the NEW TSO GRS-16 PE v2 and see what I mean, gave them a buch of feedback on this feature. 😉Look at the contact with the outer edge of the track *opposite of the cutting edge, which is where the QA test the rails to conformity of the design (strait ness as the fronde of extrusion is around the outer end the the guide part of the extrusion). otherwise as I mentioned before, you are clapping into the rail, that is, there is a force exerted from the inner T-track inward from the edge of the rail (pushing in ) from the cam clamps and cams are just a force element, hence my comments. I don’t disagree that why are build nicely, they will however not perform on par with the TSO/Festool ones, and they are prone to damaging the rail, In my humbled opinion and experience with them. Cheers!
*Promo SM* 💕
5:00 Hey Dennis, let us know when China makes this fence!
I might have to unsubscribe to your channel before I end up with more accessories than holes to stick them in 😂.
😂😂
Dennis ik vind het best goede video's maar het begint steeds meer een elitair programma te worden niet méér voor de gewone man of ,hobbyist ik ben zelf jachtbouwer op van die grote plezierjachten en om speciale meubels te maken . Jammer je begon goed ik weet dat je programma groeit maar nou is het voor wie het kunnen betalen al die spullen.
Binnenkort weer een China tool video. Het is niet zo dat deze producten niet verkocht worden of zo. En het geeft mij weer meer ervaring om e.e.a. te vergelijken.
Seems to me like I’m looking at some hermetically sealed, precision engineering laboratory that’s been set up for a CZcams channel. Is it supposed to be about woodworking or tool collection? Which maybe ok for selling all sorts of tools and jigs which all look brand new and straight out of the box. Where’s the sawdust? Mess. This guy builds a workbench that looks like it would be more at home sitting in the jet propulsion lab at NASA. This is supposed to be about woodworking, right? Or have I missed the point here….?
my channel right now is about "making my dream workshop" and this is how I think about it.
Since I now have an mature channel, I have the opportunity to test and show products. I give an independent opinion on these after I have worked with them. So based on actual experience. I imagine this could be of interest to people.
I like a clean workshop, and after every project it looks like new again. That's what I like, clear mind, clear workshop and that makes me enjoy my woodworking to the maximum.
I think you’re inventing a new kind of engineering woodwork which is great if you just want to buy loads of expensive or fancy tools and jigs. That’s your right to do and you’ve obviously got a lot of support from your subscribers but this isn’t woodworking or carpentry as I like to watch it. I suppose I see carpentry a bit more like art and less like a science. Nothing personal to you, you seem like you are really enjoying it.
I can understand what you say. For me it is a hobby that turned from woodworking to content creater. That I choose this type of content does not mean I do not do woodworking. It is just my focus point is the workshop and affordable tools from China. Because of that I invented some things every woodworker could benefit from. So, as a viewer, you van watch what you want and when there is some day more interest in dustextraction or ways to improve your workshop, my channel can give some inspiration. In the end, it is all about enjoying woodworking
@@HookedonWood today when i think it amazes me at through what our fathers went through using simple hand tools which took time to master and time to make anything that perfect. today time is money and we are all time poor. As a hobbiest, these tools help be more efficient and accurate which keeps as motivated to continue. However, i do appreciate the more manual and keen eye our father's used in the 60's and 70's. I is an art. There are some youtubers that still show and demonstrate this skill. I think it takes a quite a bit of practice to get it right and then when you do, it will take much longer to make the finished product. Tradies today must be efficient to keep cost down, and be able to repeatedly produce the same product.
I'm actual refitting a workshop area myself and looking to people like you to learn from people like you. Thanks.
For the priceof these fancy tools, you should also buy a dunce hat for worlds biggest fool for 500 bucks haha
