I was directed to your video by Sandy from FOG. I am a professional carpenter, cabinetmaker, and also inventor. Your design is practical and very intelligent. Don't be discouraged if your startup didn't survive. You had the vision and guts to jump into the market. Nary a one of your detractors can say the same. Keep innovating. Your hard work will inspire many other novel ideas and you will learn from each of them. False starts don't count against the one who finishes the race.
For product designs that others woodworkers can build in their shops, consider following Ron Paulk's example and offer plans for sale. Thousands of customers who are happy to pay to learn from you can end up generating more profit with next to no risk or financial investment on your part than what it takes to manufacture and deliver a physical product. Timothy Wilmot is another model you might want to study. Good luck! I'm sure we haven't heard the last from you.
I absolutely endorse the above comment. Well said sir, and thank you for encouraging the next generation.
I'd pay for a set of plans
Great idea. Available on ebay. Not that cheap but by the time you bought the sheet material and made it I think I would buy one.
This is a pretty solid little workbench. While once you figure out how it comes together, it is physically Easy to assemble czcams.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh by yourself. But the diagrams explaining the steps are really pretty bad. I could not get the handle pins in all the way despite multiple attempts, so I just used a screw I had on hand for the 2nd handle. I could not get the first pin in further or pull it back out. You are supposed to hammer it in, but I had no leverage and the handle is plastic and I did not want to risk breaking it. I will get a lot of use out of the bench because of the convenient size and height. It does fold up nicely for storage. They even explain how to fold it so you don't get pinched...that is important!
Looks like a great MFT table, shame the company's not going anymore. I'll be cutting my own version soon
This is absolutely genius
Wow. Can't believe this is 6 years old
This is a brilliant design; so much better than a conventional slab on legs. I would be willing to pay a few dollars for the design. Please let me know what format files you have available.
For those who were asking, I have tried to estimate the sizes on the workbench by comparing sizes to the man and ratios when they are apparent. I'm basing my numbers on USA inches. You'll have to find a converter to get the metric equivalent. It is possible that the metric products come in different "standard" sizes than we have here. For example, we have Baltic Burch that is actually .6xx inches instead of .750 inches but it's called 3/4 inch plywood.
The top appears to be made of 3/4 inch MDF. There are other images on Facebook that make me believe they started with MDF and then started making a plastic version, which would be incredibly lighter.
I am confident that the folding frame is made of 1/2 inch plywood (or the UK equivalent.)
The ratio of the table appears to be somewhere near 2:3 ratio based on the holes and knowing they are square to each other. It appears that the table top overlaps the frame by only about 1 inch.
The man in the video is a bit shorter than me, 6'1, so I can't accurately guess the dimensions of the table itself. However, since this will be a personal build, those are dimensions you set according to your desires.
One thing to note is that the holes on top run through the center of both the length and width so there are a odd number of rows and columns.
Also, while the holes in the frame are functional, their primary purpose is probably to save weight.
If I build one, it will be set at the height of the top of my miter saw and table saw so it can double as an infeed or outfeed table as needed.
I think, like the top, every hole spacing is 96 mm. So approximately 800*1200 mm top and 900-1000 mm high.
Thank you for your observations.
Brilliant design - very expensive, but still brilliant...
Nice! I am going to build 2 of them for my garden. Pretty easy to make!
I'd calculate the top to be 1100 x 700 based on the 96mm centres for his Festool track and equipment, probably 19mm MDF. From there everything else can be calculated. I'm in the process of building my own with 100mm centres, I don't use Festool, and a top large enough to cut 2440 x 1220 sheets.
Очень понравился стол-верстак! Идея супер!
Great design, clever
Beautifully done. Great innovative design.
Should have a vivid disclaimer that this is nothing more than an advertisement.
Awesome idea! Clean and simple
Smart design!
where can I find this? the site is down. Or do you sell the plans to make it?
I absolutely refuse to pay £600 for a Festool Table. Totally overpriced. I'm buying this one.
I would love to get the plans for this workbench
Salut, très bel idée magnifique super établi à plus JEAN.
that video is incomplete, I want to see everything, please, I would love to see it all !!!

Che misura e il pannello del banco....e i buchi sul pannello quanto distanziano fra loro
will you share the plan's please
What was that you used to draw lines and you had it under the table. Was it just and strip of metal?
site unavailable for information????
Are you selling cnc plans please
Your website is unavailable. Are you open for business?
Hello, do you have still available your workbench for sale? Your site is not working any more..
Es mas interesante hacerlo a partir de los planos que comprarlo hecho.
Отлично !
What thickness ply did you use on the legs?
brilliant table any chance you can share the process
Check the description. Go to www.versatable.co.uk (of course in May 2018, the page is temporarily unavailable)
Yes it is portable and folding BUT for anyone needing a portable bench with MFT and the ability to cut down 4 x 8 sheets this is a bit small. Then theres the whole out of business thing.
I prefer to build with Woodglut plans.
Well that was a waste of time - website is permanently down.
That man has absolutely no idea what he's doing.
