I inherited a Workmate a year ago, and never knew it folded up. I've hardly used it because it was bulky to move outside, so, I just piled a bunch of crap on top of it. I just checked and it's a 225, and it folds! I immediately built a top with a cleat just like yours, and folded it up in the corner. I will be using it now instead of my saw horses with a piece of plywood clamped on top. THANKS!

I have a WM 200,now replaced by the 225. I cut a piece of 1/8" hardboard to fit in the bottom,it catches sawdust or small parts dropped, and you can put tools or small workpieces there,and it can lift out when you don't need it. I'm thinking about making 4" longer top boards so that clamps will work along the edges,maybe a wider board for the back do NOT let the top boards (MDF laminates) get wet,they'll warp and come apart.

you can stiffen up that 125 with a board between the legs,screwed in up high,maybe 3-4" wide,give it some "cross-bracing" to eliminate the wobble. Better to do both sets of legs,front and back. drill 3/4" holes in the front one,and you have a place to store your bench dogs when you don't need them.

What quarry and where’s it located? Such beautiful stones. Great work!
@james.clinton Ай бұрын
@lfuentes4098 - All of the stone came from about a ¼ mile from my house, not from a quarry or masonry supply. There was some new construction that contractor cleared two small lots and I was fortunate enough to be able to buy about 120 yards of tailings relatively cheap, since they didn’t want to truck it. Tailings are essential what's left over after they screen the top soil trying to salvage the loam, it was a lot of rock, some roots and dirt. I separated it all with a home made rock screen and then washed it all by hand. Definitely time consuming but it allowed me to match the stone to all of the old stone walls on my property and in the neighborhood, the only thing I’ve got to do is figure out how to make it grow lichen faster for the old stone wall look!

@@james.clinton do you mind if I ask what area of the country do you live? Just curious. I’m in California. I mainly see lots of sandstone used in my area. I heard if you take some lichen and blend it in a blender with water you can then spray it on your rock and it should help grow in the area. Should work for fungi as well.

I have 3 wokmates the 125, 225 and a 425. I bought the 225 back in the eighties, It is a workhorse, I saw that someone had put it on wheels on KZfaq and followed up with that improvement also mounted a woodworking vice on it. I have an older 125 and a new one I replaced the rivets in the older one and that took out most of the wobble. The 425 is not used much, as I thought it would replace the 225. I have built more regular workbenches for my shop but keep going back to the 225. It still has the original top that came with it had to replace the vice handles several times am interested in how you made your DIY handles and attached them.
@james.clinton 2 ай бұрын
The DIY handles worked out ok, I looked at buying spares but with shipping it was more than I paid for the 125! I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. I’ll have to check out replacing some of the rivets, if it takes out some of the wobble that would be amazing! Thanks for the info!
@JayWye52 Ай бұрын
@@james.clinton use bolts and washers instead of rivets,and you can adjust the tightness. a drop of blue LocTite will keep it where you want it. And bolts are more easily replaced if they wear out. if you have a surplus store nearby,you might even be able to get stainless steel bolts and washers at a low price. but I think Home Depot carries SS hardware.

Thank you for the honest review of Wet and Forget, I used it a couple of years ago. I bought a two pack from Costco and I didn’t realize that it could take months to get the full results. I used it to clean my composite deck and railings but I was trying to get the deck cleaned up for that weekend in June! It did seem like the deck looked better by the fall but I don’t think it’s was worth the time and expense, I just use deck cleaner and a hose now! I love your rock walls by the way. Slainte, DC🍀

I’ve used this with great results. I would recommend that you use prior to seeing mildew or algae. I live in a very small one story and used a brush with soap to clean up the north facing wall. After that I sprayed the entire house with the Wet and Forget. I’ve been pleased with the results. My lazy neighbor serves as a control in this experiment. His North facing wall looks like Jumanji so I know the product is working.

Elaborate on the sono tubez please
@james.clinton 3 ай бұрын
Sure! The sono tubes that are built into the wall around the patio by the fireplace are there for a future pergola or potentially some type of covered roof. At the time I built it (and now) I wasn’t 100% sure how or if I wanted to cover the area. I thought it was be any easy way to future proof the area by having an area to secure structure to that went straight to below the frost line, that didn’t require me to try and attach anything to the wall. Hopefully that helps!

I received a couple of helpful tips on why the wood may have split on me when driving the pocket screws. When going into the end grain its better to have the screws angled toward the middle of the board rather than the outside like I did in this video, this should reduce/stop the splitting. If I did that in this case the hardware would have been visible on the outside, ultimately a different joint than pocket screws might have been better here, but that’s why we practice! I’ll look into testing this and covering it further in a future video.

Love this kind of content. Very nicely done on the video as well as the fireplace! Couple of questions: (1) Why did you set concrete pilings? Maybe that'll be more obvious in the next video. (2) Also would be curious to hear more details on how you handled drainage in your in the soggy area near the hill. Did you simply add stone under the pavers to direct the water to the french drains or did you add additional french drains in that area?
@james.clinton 5 ай бұрын
There’s definitely more on this in the next video, the concrete pilings get built into the stone wall, the future plan is to put a timber pergola on top and I wanted to have a solid foundation for it. The perimeter drain shown in this video handles a lot of the water run off, also in the next video you’ll see me put in more French drains under the walks and main patio, but essentially you guessed it, the supporting material for all the walks and patio is 3/4 stone, then 1/4” for the top inch below the bricks. This website has a good diagram, it’s pretty close to what I followed dot.ca.gov/programs/design/lap-erosion-control-design/tool-1-lap-erosion-control-toolbox/tool-1nn-40-permeable-paving
