Thanks so much Brad! It's working well so far, but we'll see how annoying the dog holes get when i start dropping things through them

@lawman1965 Жыл бұрын

@@ScottWalshWoodworking If you begin to drop things through, think about getting a cutting mat and place it over the dog holes in the area where you are say, laying out etc. It's what I've done on my MFT style top on my current bench and stops the frustration. I only expose the dog holes if and when I need to clamp. Another idea is to route a slot for T-Track into the edge banding on the front and one side of the bench. I used Incra t-track and that allows me to use clamps on the side of the bench too.

Just bought the plans for this, and I have to say, at first I saw the price and thought man that seems like a lot (23usd) since i didnt know what i'd actually get. Bought it anyway. Then i realized, given what went into them, it's pretty cheap. It's filled with details of how everything is put together, materials list and dimensions. Well done sir. Woodworking is one skill, making plans is another, and the time and effort you've put into both is obvious. Great work 👍

I love this build, I want to do it for my single car garage shop. I do have a suggestion for the cabinet. Build it a little smaller so you have a small gap on the sides. But, when you use the solid wood for the edges, make them large enough to fill that gap in the front. I've used this trick a lot with residential cabinets when working in a cabinet shop. You can always trim the edge to fit the space a lot easier than trying to squeeze the cabinet in

Good video. For leveling feet, I’ve bought the largest hex cap machine bolt I could find. Usually 3/4” with a washer. I bore a hole into the 4x4 corner post, thread the nut onto the bolt and then the washer bears against the wood post. Works great. Super heavy duty and when I blow out the trapped sawdust it flows around pretty well so clean up us easy.

absolute beautiful job i think i might steal it for my small garage shop!! A trick i do with laminating to oversized sheets is make both a 1/2" bigger all the way around and the be as accurate when you glue them and cut with a track saw as its less stressfull gluing up and less mess than the router and much easier of a cut. Also with contact cement just dry it up with paper towels and then a little goof off or just a little laquer thinner will wipe the residue away.

Great build. I'm in the latter stages of building a laminated pine top bench out of reclaimed pine boards from a 1970's wall shelf setup. I feel your pain. As for the glue, interesting move with the sand, but I would have tried to salvage the glue first by using a clean dustpan to scoop the top 75% back up and then done something stupid like use old jeans or something to mop it up.
