I gave away my old workbench to a buddy so it's time to build a new one. This workbench is a bit smaller than my last bench which will give me more floor space for other tools. The bench features matchfit grooves on the top to accommodate the matchfit dovetail clamps and accessories. Also, the bench has 6 pull out drawers and 3 pull out trays for part bins. There is plans available for this bench and I also have a brand new merch store. The links are below! #DIY #woodworking #woodworkingprojects #woodworkingplans #workbench

Nice bench. 😊. I'm a little confused about a couple of things, though. You clearly don't mind the look of screw heads. I don't either.... especially on shop furniture. With that in mind, why take the time to use pocket screws on the upper and lower frames rather than just screw directly into the 4x4s, AND through the rails into the 2x4s that support the leg assemblies?
@foxhallww311
@foxhallww311 5 ай бұрын
hey Bob! thanks for watching the video. Yes I do not mind screw holes if it's shop project. Honestly, when you are working on the bench you don't really notice the screw holes. If I was making a proper carpenter's bench I would hide the screw holes with plugs. It's dealer's choice. As for the pockets holes, I chose to use pocket holes because of the HD Pocket Hole jig. The HD screws have way more shear strength then standard construction screws. I get your point on using just standard butt joints and screws. I just went with stronger setup.

Regardless of what other commentary here bashing your preferred system, I don’t feel you were directing or misleading anyone on how they should implement their workshop systems. I’ve researched all of the workbench top clamping systems and feel this is the most versatile for those who can best benefit from it. The title of the video was meant to be catchy which works. I don’t get how decades of experience is relevant when the industry continues to evolve. Obviously you put hard work into your designs and offer the plans to those who would be interested and in building something similar if not the same. Everyone has their own gig and you have yours so keep on brother you’re doing a fine job as well as serving the woodworking community. Great video. I enjoyed the commentary and watching the little pooch too!! Bravo!!

Really enjoyed ur video on the Workbench build my friend. There's a tonne of weight in this bench. I'm betting it ain't moving whatsoever with the amount of wood used and with the contents in the drawers too. My 1st attempt at building a workbench was ok but it's really garbage tbf. I'm going to invest in some nice off cuts of hardwood and build a strong worktop surface about 3/42 thick. I have a local place that sells decent lengths of offcuts and I might try and laminate enough pieces to make the top I'd like. It'll have all sorts like a Bertie Bassetts pack of Allsorts.. Keep up the great work man and I really like the Camera mount too. Most ppl use a cheap stand which wobbles constantly causing bad camera work but this is a brilliant idea to have the camera mounted strongly to the bench. Plus the weight of ur bench will help it with movement I guess?

Hi instead of practising karate when you are cutting panels because the saw jams. Use a quick clamp, you call it a "trigger clamp". Cut about 10" or so into the panel, clamp the end you've just cut with the clamp. It will patiently wait for you until you get to the end, giving you a free hand to hold the off cut while you put the saw down and move to release the clamp. Regards from the UK.

I know it's been a year, but first time seeing this video. I like the overall build and strength of the table. The dovetail tracks still working out? Any binding or breakage? One suggestion for a future build, I would assemble all of the vertical legs first including all of the boards that attach directly to them, then attach the lengthwise boards to them. No squeezing in or fitting problems.

Hi, JP. Great build and video (especially the reference to Jon Peters 😉❤️.) Love seeing your Lignum mallet at work. Barbara (KFW group) PS: I checked out the Amana countersink bit. My disappointment is that the drill bit is very short, so it’s not also a true pre-drill like my Snappy bits. I’d love to find a bit that combines a longer bit for pre-drilling holes with the Amana countersink technology. Any suggestions? Thanks.
@foxhallww311
@foxhallww311 10 ай бұрын
Barbara, I think snappy is going to be your best bit if you want something longer. Dewalt and Milwaukee also make adjustable pre-drill bits too. Next time I talk to the Amana rep I will ask him about that.

I built a bench with similar legs except that I used 2x4. One complete length and then a short piece where the lower horizontal cut would have been then a longer piece above it to match the full length piece. No notch necessary and cheaper wood faster.

Order of op on the halflap joints should be the other way arpund. 1. Make the crosscut on the table saw before 2. The ripcut on the bandsaw. By doing it in this order, you will avoid kickback on loose pieces of wood on the table saw. Work safer, not harder!

@@awlthatwoodcrafts8911 oh my bad.....I guess reading the whole comment is key to a proper response. Sorry I was doing 15 things at one time. The t-track on the side is for my camera arm mount. Which is the Woby Designs arm mount. It has a really heavy base to it. I thought at the time that the mount was too heavy for the dovetails. But sense then, I realized I was wrong. I am most likely going to add 2 dovetail tracks to the sides so I can mount things vertically.

This is a pretty solid little workbench. While once you figure out how it comes together, it is physically Easy to assemble kzfaq.infoUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh by yourself. But the diagrams explaining the steps are really pretty bad. I could not get the handle pins in all the way despite multiple attempts, so I just used a screw I had on hand for the 2nd handle. I could not get the first pin in further or pull it back out. You are supposed to hammer it in, but I had no leverage and the handle is plastic and I did not want to risk breaking it. I will get a lot of use out of the bench because of the convenient size and height. It does fold up nicely for storage. They even explain how to fold it so you don't get pinched...that is important!

You might have wanted to fix the torn out corner of the frame you laid your plywood on before flush trimming that fault onto your worktop twice @11:20. I'm quite astounded that someone would replace inlaid aluminium T-tracks with routed dovetails. With dust and humidity clogging those up, I'd guess you're not happy with that setup for very long.
