hi my name is Ijon. back in February suski and I made a detailed plan how to

overhaul this corner to better utilize this space.

this is the plan we drew in February

Let's clean this up!

this piece of wall had to go

and then we cut and mounted the big back beam

we marked the positions of the legs and now we are cutting all the back legs

all the legs were individually positioned and marked

the floor is very very uneven

and now we are cutting the front legs

in the lower left corner you can see the planer

Observe the amount of shavings we produce

they all get an 11 degree bevel

the first leg of the front row has to be positioned carefully

now we can position the middle leg on the right side

on day two we started with the braces on the right top corner.

every brace got its own notch to mount it

we cut off the front beam

we continued on the left with these two legs

aligning them perfectly was really difficult

we build a helper contraption with many clamps and others straight pieces of wood

now we cut the notches for the braces

and then we're taking it all apart again to cut additional notches in the front legs

for this lower front beam that also needs to go there

it also was notched

and got its braces.

now we started to work on the platform for the CNC-mill

first we need to mark the remaining leg to cut it precisely

then we took off the other front leg again to cut it

and made the notch and shaved the end off.

and we thought some additional braces under the CNC would be a good idea

now we are cutting the lower braces

now we are measuring the exact size and angles of

the top cover of the miter saw

and now we're doing the same for the top cover of the CNC Mill

now we are mounting the lower braces and we're drinking some beer while doing it

because we were done with all the power tools

the top covers fit and are screwed in place

the chop saw is lifted on top of the bench

and the CNC mills is lifted on top of it

I think day two was very successful.

day three started with

the exact positioning of the both machines

so they use one long common fence for both machines

and after the exact position was determined

we measured the size of the

cover on the right side

and then we cut it and test fitted and we tested it

several times and shaved off here and there a bit but in the end it fit and we

drilled it and screwed it down

and then some clean up because day three was a short day

on day four I converted this board into long rectangular beams

of which this is a cut off

and now on day five we fitted in these grooves

so that these aluminum profiles actually fit

here we are cutting and fitting the left table surface and we needed to test fit

several times to get all the cutouts right

The part was then drilled

and screwed down.

the ends of the fence beams had to be angled a bit

and we are cutting them right now

and all of this back and forth and test-fitting is there to get the cut out

on the inside of the fence perfect

and now we are aligning the fence so it's perfectly in line with the miter saw

this was also a major undertaking to cut

this much off of the beam - this was rectangular.

because we did this entirely with hand tools.

we are done with day five

these fences right now are not yet mounted.

on the left you can see the clamped glue up

of the left part of the fence.

right now I am test fitting the right part of the

t-nut rail on top of the fence.

the fence somehow needs to be mounted and right

now I am pre-drilling and marking the locations of the screws.

Here I am putting in the screws from below so I can find the exact locations of them for

pre drilling in the fence

I just took off the fence to pre-drill it off-camera

and now I just need to put in the screws and tighten them properly

by now the left part of the fence is dry

as well so I can take off the clamps and remove the squeezed out glue

some sanding is also necessary.

on day 7 we start by fixing the miter saw in place

and for this purpose we make small wooden blocks that we screw down at the

front and at the back of the miter saw which will hold it firmly in place and

in alignment with the fence

and just about now we realized that the left part

of the fence is actually interfering with the miter saw in one of the miter angles

So suski is making a lot of small paper templates to figure out the

exact shape of the cutout that we need so the miter saw can be used throughout

all its rotation.

Here I am test-fitting the left part of the fence

with the new cutout.

the next day I took the opportunity to mount the fence

and I'm taking it off to pre-drill it and right now I am screwing down the fence

after mounting of the left part of the fence the only thing that's left to

do is to mount the t-nut-rails in the fences for which I am taking them out

and pre drilling them, properly sinking them so the screw heads don't stick out

and then I mount them and put them in back in.

This was a big project that I

wouldn't even have started without the support of many c-base members that

helped to build and plan this especially suski.

so thanks for helping me with

this big project and I hope you enjoyed this new kind of video.
