I regret not building this sooner

I wanted a portable workbench that had everything I wanted at the least possible cost.

I work for a cabinet company here in the states and we exclusively use metric. Before I started working there I had never used it in my life. It's much easier to measure with accuracy, and the math is much easier. Now when I'm working on projects in my home shop I mostly use metric. I think imperial is much better in normal construction like framing etc, but for smaller things that need to be more accurate, metric is much easier.

I use the Parf guide system with plywood all the time. Once the 3mm holes are drilled I flip it upside down & drill about 1/16” with the 20mm so there is zero blowout. Works like a charm & only take a few more minutes.

I love the way you explain things. I’m a 63 year old woodworker. And my daughter, who is a fine carpenter. I tell her when you think you know everything you don’t. You’re never too old or too. Good to listen to somebody else that knows what they’re talking about. Even if you get one tip out of 10 videos, it was worth it. Quick story. I had the same job for almost 40 years with the same company. One day one of the owners walked by me and asked, how are you? I replied with I’m done I quit at 60 years old I started my own remodeling business. Now I did this when most guys are retiring. I did it because of my love of woodwork, and I always promised myself I would have my own business. Thanks for your inspiration, and look forward to watching your videos.

I used the Parf system to build the Ron Paulk Bench and what he recommended was to use the forstner bit (no jig) on the underside to score the plywood and then drill out the holes from the top side using the jig. It works perfectly. Great project.

I love the metric measurements !!! GREAT for us in Europe !! The children ( and adults) with dyscalculus must be struggeling a LOT with the imperial system .... And I like your project a lot also !

[nathansilver]

Greetings from the USA. I really like the design. I'm a cabinet maker here in the USA. You did a great job. Well done.

[billybike]

When I retired I committed myself to use the metric system, it took me a few months but I’ll admit I find it more accurate to use and easier.

[hotswap_tofu]

I admire your courage for using metrics bro. Welcome to the rest of the world.

The Woodpeckers system uses a router bushing and bit. No blowout at all. Then use the PARF reamer/chamfer drill bit to clean up the edges. Perfect.

[rcamoonpie]

Really enjoy your videos!
Thanks for getting me back in the mindset of actually doing something with all my equipment!
CNC, LASER, And etc, etc, etc

Get frustrated with the constant what do i build to make any income with all this equipment i bought and tend to walk away and say the heck with it all!
But I’ll keep digging and hopefully eventually it will all pay off.

Thanks again!

i have the ujk parf guide and i used it on plywood... i drill the bottom half way first, and then flip it back to the top and finish, . It wont have tear out out that.

[dannyoktim]

Great Vid . . .well designed build, love the storage end draws and under track saw hustler, just questioning leg stability.
Not Bashing just suggesting, the track storage is a +++ and is a must in this build, my thoughts would be to use folding metal legs from a venue table for their stability and quick deployment. To make them work you'd need a spacer to elevate them above the stored track when legs were collapsed for transport. Just my thoughts. . . . Stay safe, Stay happy

[HarrisonFord]

You know your going to replace that top when none of us are looking. Lol I’ve seen and watched enough of your work to know that tear out will keep you up at night.

[ewetuber]

I used the parf guide to make a portable work bench from MDF several years ago. It has been good, but yours has some smart advantages! I’m going to re-do mine using some of your ideas. Nice job!

[TBrown]

Ive done this with plywood, just have to drill on top or a sacrificial sheet of plywood or MDF. Adds a lot of cost, but completely eliminated the blowout.

[JonSauter]

Those are some nice looking pocket holes.

[abad_gtr]

man this thing is sweet! love the portability and the onboard storage.

[scottmorris]

Greta project. Have been considering one, and I like yours. They actually have a tool, that puts a slight chamfer on the holes, and this should take of most of the blowout.

[niceguy]

12:09 It's probably a good bit more work, but having the legs splayed a bit (ideally both front to back and side to side) would make the table way more stable
