I love the vertical drawer.

Slick! I like the inclusion of the router. Shop vac could do double duty on its dust collection.

What router plate is that? Is there a lift?

I like the vertical slide out. I've been working on my own workbench design and some iterations have something similar for my saws.

It looks really nice :-)

That's a real nice workbench, good work!

Absolutely amazing, makes me want to rebuild my bench!

[-] UsernameLost@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Very nice bench! My only concern is the drawers are a bit open to letting dust in, I probably would have added some 1/4" plywood around the back/sides of the drawer section if possible

[-] hypnotoad__@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

Yeah i kept it basic, and you definitely get some on the side with the saw. My solution is to put bigger things on that side that can get dirty. The other side holds smaller tools and the dust is really minimal over there.

Fair enough man. Looks good! I need to make an outfeed table for my table saw and a miter saw station. Finally moved into a new place with a shop that's bigger than my old one a few years ago. Had to get rid of most of my benches except my main one when I put my stuff in storage

[-] hypnotoad__@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I was in the same boat. Had a huge shop with a 16 foot table until i moved about 4 years ago. So this table was a way for me to store a lot of my stuff in a much smaller space.

I still miss that big shop :(

Damn, that's a massive table! Bummer you had to downsize.

I was in à 10'x16' uninsulated, unpowered shed in Alaska (ran an extension cord and learned which combination of tools would trip the breaker). Now I have a 20'x20' two car garage (at least, most of it, have a freezer and water heater and HVAC), and it's fantastic. Ran a bunch more outlets in it on multiple circuits when I bought the house a few months ago, so I never have to worry about tripping the breaker again.

That sounds glorious! I'm sharing a garage with my wife's car lololol. Better than nothing :)

How much did this cost is supplies? Looks great though!

[-] oxideSeven@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago

There were plans for this online somewhere right? I almost made this same one! It's so good!

[-] uninvitedguest@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago

Would you have a link to share?

[-] oxideSeven@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

I don't. I'll try to look around tomorrow maybe I saved sometime in a bookmark. I just recall almost building this same thing. May have been from a YouTuber.

[-] em2@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

Was it all custom plans? If you have any plans or progress pics to share, post em please! It looks great.
