I am sure most have seen my first video on about THE ULTIMATE WORK BENCH, but I don't think I posted it here, just in case anyone missed it.   [cool]

it is well made.  it is just too huge to want to drag in and out everyday.

Hard to make it BIG and SMALL, so I went for BIG and LIGHT I haven't dragged it yet, but I am only 51 [big grin]

 

[chayu]

i think it is a brilliant design
i am going to make a similier one that fits into my truckbed (a capped silverado 1/2 ton)
some day ill have a trailer as cool as yours.....

questions:

how do you hinge your sawhorses?
how is the table saw pipe support attached at the far end?

questions:

how do you hinge your sawhorses? Table saw horses use 3.5" door hinges, but I prefer the 2" nylon straps used on the miter stand.
how is the table saw pipe support attached at the far end? A pipe cap is screwed on the internal end so the pipes will not pull through the holes.

thanks for your effort in designing and building this

Paul,
I really, really like this table.
it has a very large surface , it's portable, seems extremely easy to use, fast setup. like the spaces for the tools
I'm sold
and I'm convinced that you want to share your plans with a "fan"  ;-))

[Mr. Jeff Smith]

That is epic.
Awesome work.

 

[CutsTwice]

Impressive. Are the 20mm holed tops easily replaceable?

 

[GhostFist]

Ron, I'm sure you're aware, but others on here might not be, your designs have been featured in Core 77,  a design blog and they've paid you some well deserved compliments. Just thought I'd share.

After I put up the latest video on the Cross Cut Jig, a lot of emails came flooding in. A few from New Zealand mentioned Core77, so I looked it up. Now I am not sure what brought all the traffic, the video or Core77. I did enjoy seeing them. I might have to start goggling myself to see what is out there.

Thanks for letting me know.

Talent deserves recognition. I salute you, sir!

Ron, I have just run across your vids for transforming your "new" truck into a working mobile shop.  I am sitting here just shaking my head over some of your ideas.  My wife thinks I am having some problems, which of course is more fact than fiction.  We won't get into that here and now as that would be way off topic.  I am having problems with lack of workspace in my own basement shop and have been mapping out ideas in my head to make more space from, what is now, a lack of space without increasing an impossible area to increase.  I guess from that garbled up mess of wording, you are probably ready to agree with my dearly beloved.  I am amazed at how much you are able to squeeze into a minimum of space.  I probably have slightly more floor space than you have total in your truck.  But, oh my, how little floor space I have left when i have my toys loaded in there.  I have been sorting for the past month since i closed down my landscaping for the winter.  With a shortage of snow plowing so far, I have a bit more time than usual and am planning to put some of your great ideas to work ASAP.

As others, i appreciate your time and effort that has gone into your planning, developement and, most appreciated, you showing all how you have done and are continueing to demonstrate.  Thank you
Tinker

Tinker,
It is amazing how a space can be used efficiently, especially if you only keep what your really need. I was impressed when I went to France and saw their creative use of space. Also, take a look at small motor homes and boats. Space is 3 dimentional, so use it all.

Good Luck,
Ron

 

[RONWEN]

Very efficient and cleverly designed!  With all of that under bench storage for tools customers have to be impressed with the neatness while you work.

Ron  I will tell you first hand, it works great for cutting sheet goods and other dimensional wood. I built mine in about 8 hrs start to finish and I think its awesome.

If I didnt already have 2 MFT 3"s I would definitely build one.

 

[mjozefow]

I think one of these would be great to make, minus the table saw part for now. How much did it cost in parts to make?

Crpaulk, your trailer was a huge inspiration for the direction I headed with mine.  [big grin]

My recent build of the UWB cost me approx $400.00.
This included the purchase  3/4" Birch Ply and 1/2" Birch Ply, and a 5" hole saw and two router bits. 1/4" Straight Bit  and a 3/4" 1/4 Shaft Plunge Bit.

WOW! Birch Ply, you are styling. For me using A/C Satin Ply, my total cost was $207, but I already has all of the bits and cutters. That also left me some good size pieces of both 3/4" and 1/2" for other projects.
