As the sides require four oval cutouts, and the ends and center require an additional three ovals, I decided to make templates of 1/2" MDF to pattern rout the two different sized oval cutouts, and I decided to design the templates as my first Fusion 360 / Shaper Origin project.įor the top I decided to use 3/4" MDF, rather than 3/4" plywood, as I thought it would result in a flatter, more durable top. After reviewing the plans for the Compact (3' x 6') Workbench, I realized that by reducing the size to 29" x 68" I would need only one sheet of 1/2" plywood, rather than the two sheets specified in the Compact Workbench plans. I recently decided to learn how to use my Shaper Origin along with Fusion 360 to build a SubCompact version of Ron's workbench. I have also purchased Ron Paulk's Workbench plans (both the originals and the Compact versions), but I do not have a van or pickup truck, so I knew that even the "Compact" one would not fit into my SUV. I had purchased a Shaper Origin when it was introduced at the Festool Connect in Lebanon in 2017, but I never took the time to figure out how to use it.
