Channel Equation: John + Can Do Attitude = Inspirational Videos.

Multifunctional frankenbench.. great job John.

Thank you. A project for Easter.

As always John your channel is a joy to watch. Just a straight forward approach to everyday issues in the average joiners shop. No unnecessary frills, no fancy tools…just honest to God methods and outcomes! I know you run a very successful electrical business, and that must take priority in order to support your family. I just hope that you can make time again, to come back and give all of your viewers some more of that Eireann skill that you so easily impart in front of the camera! Happy New Year John….hopefully you won’t leave us again? Len (Devon 🇬🇧)?

Great video John. Lovely to see you back in your workshop. I hope you have had a great 2023 and have a fantastic 2024🎉

Happy days. Love your content. Thank you for another great video. All the best to you and your loved ones for 2024.

Welcome back! Glad you haven't lose the two-by-four-or-four-by-two! :D

Enjoyed the video John keep up the good work !!!!!

Hope you and the family, have a wonderful, 2024.

Glad to see you back!

Hey John, I too have been thinking about combining a traditional hardwood with an MFT style. I really enjoyed you verbalizing your thought process as you were attacking the various issues. As I haven’t built my MFT work bench yet I’m scouring the internet for good ideas, tips and pitfalls. My thought is to make two of the Ron Paul torsion tops with space for a stop gap in between. Then one side can be swapped out with a hardwood top that I don’t need to build yet. 3x3 made a pretty sweet (very upscale) version although I think hers is more work bench with an MFT portion. Just need to see what vises I might consider in the future to make sure I take that into account with my various part heights.

Strawbyte workshop do some clips to attach the track saw cable to the dust hose. Doesn't solve the problem of them catching, but it helps. Bench is looking good and looking forward to seeing the plans for the new one in the future!

I like it and I’m looking forward to getting your thoughts on it a few months down the track but best of all you’ve given me some great ideas to combine mine. Cheers mate have a safe New Year’s Eve

A great looking bench, I wish I had the room for one.

Definitely gave me some insight for my own out feed table / work bench I’m reworking as well. Thank you and great video.

Fantastic to see you back fella, it’ll be great to see you uploading again if you’re able to!

Nice job John. I have one suggestion when you do the permanent rebuild, make the end cap of your tail vise flush or extend past the edge of the MFT top by the thickness of the end cap. If you look at tail vise benches, the tail vise end is longer than the rest of the bench. Cheers

Great job!

The Sjobergs screw-type holdfasts don't need any depth at all; you might think of those as an option.

Good to see you back in the workshop and bench is looking good 👍

Good stuff John !

Good seeing you again!! Love your idea!

Just glad to see you back! I'm in the middle of a complete shop re-do myself. I have been in the exact same space as you I think. I was completely burnt out between my paycheck work and the remodeling in our basement to create a space for my wife's pottery studio, that I just haven't had anything left for shop work. Been about 6 months without touching a hand tool, honestly my bench hasn't even been useable lol....My space has been a 14yr work in progress using left over materials from odd jobs and other things, that lately had been an utter mess and not conducive to creativity for sure. I am finally in a place financially to make it right and so that's what I am doing (or trying to anyway). I m hoping that getting the shop as it should be will make it more inviting so I can get out an finish some projects I started for both my wife and daughter.

Great video. So happy you put out new content. Content production over a long time is not easy. Keep going.

Nice one John, great re-configuration of an awesome work bench, and nice to see how you approached and tackled it, thank you… ✅ Happy New Year to you and yours, wishing you a fabulous 2024… 🥂

Great video John, great to see you back! All the best for 2024..

Hi John, just rewatched this video and was wondering if you are still planning to do a new bench build. Appreciate you’re probably super busy and maybe still recovering from leg problem 🤞🤞. Hope you and the family are well and look forward to seeing you back. 🥃

So glad you are back. Love your ideas. Julien

Fantastic work, John! The bench is looking great! 😃 Happy new year! And stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Happy New Year John love all the videos keep them coming

Great job done 👍 Happy and healthy 2024 to you and yours 🎉 🍾🥂

Hi John, so nice to see you again mate, hope your Christmas was great and hope that you have a wonderful new year. Keep them videos coming thoroughly enjoy them mate and cheers Tony Ashton New Zealand.

John, your timing is impeccable. I have to redesign my workbench as I've added a much bigger table saw to the shop and have less space than before. I'm loving the features you're experimenting with with yours.. I have already seen how I can make something similar to you for my needs and I'm just waiting for SWMBO's New Years work orders to end so I can get back into the shop to do things I want to do. Great video and I can't wait to see your final design. Happy New Years to you and the family.

Good to see you back Fella 👍. Happy New Year to you. 🍻🥃

I'm surprised you didn't install the new section so the trim of the router section budded into the new section, it would of given you additional MFT surface and kept the width the same on that side.

Hi John, Happy New Year

Awesome work and creativity. New to the channel and really enjoying your videos.

Ey John, awesome Video. Everyone can build with new materials but combining old stuff is more complex. Love your Frankenstein workbench😅. Happy 2024🎉

Looking good m8 hope you had good Christmas and new year. Can't wait see what u bring us this year. Can i request some more turning videos!👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Don’t think there would be much wrong with shortening the holdfasts John. They’re only bending against the depth of the workbench. Great to see you back. HNY to you & yours.

Love the channel. Just looking to source hardwood myself for a project. I noticed you said you might use maple for a further handtool bench. Where do you go looking? In the East of the country also. Thanks in advance.

Happy days...I was wondering halfway through if it would have been easier just disassembling the top supports and rebuilding it...

Loving the hybrid style bench. Can't wait for more vids in the new year. Happy New Years to you and yours.

nice upgrade. great way to recycle 2 benches. I am getting ideas for my work bench table i love the idea of the router at the end. but i have 1 question what do you think about the MFT top? compared to just a solid top? i loved the video gave me some ideas that's for sure. 1 thing i am going to do is make my dogs pop up dogs so they don't feel up with saw dust. i am sure they are very easy and are cost affective. i watched a video on doing them and cant find it now. but there are a ton of them.

Glad to see you back in action, the audio seemed to go crazy in the 2nd half with a weird echo/resonance. Looking a whole lot more useful

Hi there, how do you prevent green algi appear around the inside of your roof and around your cabinets. I have a very similar shed and it’s gone all green. Thanks

How about India ink on top of the MDF stuff, that way you don’t have to drill all the holes in the laminate top

Just got around to looking back at this video, and noticed you're still using the moxon vide with metal rods. No longer planning on using the hardwood camlever version? What is the total size of your workbench now?

Well John good videos as always. Were is a good place to buy miter slots and accessories in Ireland thanks

Do you have a table saw and if you do what one do you have ,I was looking at a dewalt dwe7485 table saw ,would you recommend

What is in all of those sleeves and bottles in the cabinet to the left of you chisels and mallets?😉
