Making A Quick And Simple Tenon Jig For The Tablesaw (DeWalt DW745)

In this video I make a quick and simple (and not very pretty) tenon jig for my tablesaw, the DeWalt DW745.

I started by creating a box from some scraps of plywood that fitted snugly around the tablesaw fence, which means that the jig will move along with the fence.

Then I added a side fence and a back fence with wood glue and screws to support the workpiece so that it can be clamped down. I cut out a shape on the side fence with the jigsaw to make it easier to attach clamps.

Making A Workbench Out Of Salvaged Things (part 2 of 2)

In this video I make a worktop for the bench from some 1" thick salvaged plywood which came from some industrial packaging,

Then I re-fit my Redada Number 2 vise using a spare block between it and the worktop.

I fitted some drawer handles to the set of drawers that didn't already have them.

Then I fitted some pieces of pine to trim the worktop and the frame to cover the plywood edges and tidy up the look.

Finally I applied a few coats of varnish and show you what I've got stored in my new drawers

Making A Workbench Out Of Salvaged Things (part 1 of 2)

In this video I start making a new workbench for my workshop using salvaged materials.

I used three sets of drawers salvaged from an office clearance, some salvaged plywood donated to me by a friend, and some parts from my old workbench.

I began by making a large 3/4 inch plywood box to accommodate the three sets of drawers and added a piece at the back to keep it rigid and square.

I added the legs from my old workbench to this one, as I wanted the new workbench to be the same height so there was really no need to make them again.

Workshop update - 1 year after the build

It's been a year since I built my workshop, so this is a quick update to answer some questions I've been asked about it, and to show you some of the improvements I've made in the past year.

Making A Workshop Space-Saving Stand for the Electra Beckum HC260 planer/thicknesser

In this video, I design and build a space-saving stand for my planer/thicknesser the Electra Beckum HC260. The idea was to create some additional worktop space in my small workshop for my drill press and bench grinder with space for the planer underneath. Made entirely from salvaged materials. Turned out OK!
