Seems handy especially for a shared/smaller space like you said. You've made a lot of portable stuff over the years 😁 love the positive vibes you're sending out too Glenn! Keep up the great work, take care mate 🇦🇺💜 PS. The fan is an awesome idea!

@tonyhemingway7980 3 жыл бұрын

I like the workbenche and the only change that I would make, if I made it for myself, would be to support the top with knee braces and cut off the 2×4 front supports. I don't know about you but my elbows always seem to find something to bang against.

@manla8397 3 жыл бұрын

It is a great bench for doing electronic projects but for wood work, it may be too small especially the posts can limited the sizes of the work pieces. But honestly it is a great work station, I have to say.

@MrMarkiam 3 жыл бұрын

Don't like the front side upper arm support, I might have made a 45" Angle brace instead. However, since there in place consider incorporating a small painter booth with ventilation onside or the other!!! Otherwise, the project Rock's in typical fashion....

I recently watched a video that had multiple wood cutting montages just as you describe, the longest was just over a minute and the whole video was 12 minutes. I think that by the end, once you add all the montages up 1/4 of the video was wood cutting montages.

This is the first time I have seen DIY Creators and I can tell you that, as a woodworker, I love everything about it! No long-winded bullshit, and the "fast" on the video makes it pleasant to watch and not a chore. He clearly shows how things are done and the little graphic in the corner shows you where it is being done. Without being "preachy," he shows you how to use squares (and which ones to use) and clamps. I also learned something new! I had never seen threaded inserts and from now on, will make sure to use those when appropriate. Thanks for the great video! And I love that workbench.

I have a fan in the garage, but having one right where I’m working without taking up additional space is a winner.
