Materials lists and detailed cut sheets
Detailed renderings and dimensioned drawings for every part in the build

***Money back guarantee***
I'm so confident in the quality and thoroughness of these plans I'll give you your money back if you aren't satisfied. Just let me know why within one week of your purchase and I refund your purchase price, no questions asked.
Why buy the plans?
· These plans will pay for themselves many times over. If they prevent even one small oversight that could lead to scrapping time and material they pay for themselves. Although the system looks relatively simple, there are over 80 unique parts. I spent weeks planning, designing, and tweaking dimensions to get everything to fit together just right. These plans take all of that time and headache out of the process. They allow you to just enjoy the build and an awesome workbench/tool station without worrying about planning everything yourself.
I cover every mistake I made during the build and show you exactly what I did wrong and how to avoid the same mistakes during your build. Do you value your time? If so then having detailed plans, photos, illustrations, and lessons learned for a build like this is worth several times the purchase price!
· The hyperlinked parts list alone will save you hours of time looking up hardware. It includes hyperlinks to all of the off-the-shelf parts used in the build. You won’t have to spend hours searching for the components you need to build it.
· Detailed instructions and dimensions will ensure you can get a perfect fit on the first try. The unique design pivot mechanisms and the automatic air switch that activates the downdraft table are outlined in the plans.
· Build with confidence! Every dimension must be just right to fit a full-size compound miter saw into this build AND still make it narrow enough to fit through a 35” door opening. Trying to pack all of this into a small package takes a lot of planning. Building with these plans takes all of the trial, error and guesswork out of the process.
The plans include all of the information you need to build this system from scratch. However, if you want to speed up your build and ensure that you get a perfect fit where it matters most, a hardware kit is available at www.shophacks.com/store/p15/Ultimatefliptopworkbench.
