When my get up & go comes back from it's holidays, I have a storage shed needs a reorder, big time! I may use up some of my pallet wood 'overstock' to build a work surface and hiddie holes. Thanks for bringing us along. PS I agree with yer assessment, the top is to dark, but needs must. Take care & stay safe Matt & family.

That's a great bench now Matt with so many options. It looks fab too.

That's brilliant, Matt! Really well done! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

After seeing several stages of your work benches, I hate to say I am learning from your mistakes and I can pick one that suits my need. Thank you.❤

Hi Matt, nice finish on your workbench like the colour, a very solid build, i would not worry about the blocks in the bench vice being off I would call it character. As always a great video, catch you soon take care

Hi Matt, that bench is looking absolutely fantastic, you are certainly dedicated to what you do, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les

Looking forward to see how the holdfasts do on the pine top. Good vid matt 👍

Oh, massive improvement! Nice work.

Now that is a workbench, work-holding is a critical component of any bench, can't beat those old Record vices. I agree on the dog holes - too many can be a pain, I would be forever losing small items down them, it's all personal choice though so each to their own ! Good choice not to lie under the vice to fit it Matt, clamps are more reliable than friends and they don't drink all your booze ! 😉

The final evolution bench.

Nice bench upgrade .. fits the space .. Point of concern .. at the 7.57 time stamp .. your Left-Hand Thumb !!!! Makes for a Helluva Target for that hammer head. Back in the day my journey man would have given you a "Thick Ear" and tell you to "Hold it Properly, move your bloody thumb"

That looks really good

Where’s the link to the dogs?

great workbench well done, I would have recommended finishing it in a lighter colour for Video's.

I think your right mat too many holes will cause more problems than they solve it's very tempting to produce something along the lines of a parf bench top but is it really nesasery

Hi were did you get the drill bit from its brilliant Thanks

Paul sellers Stick trick for fitting a vice is to clamp a scrap of wood so the lower piece touches the ground and use that to take the weight while bolting in. Takes the weight and infinately adjustable.

Great job finishing it up!

That dark stain and wax makes it look like something you'd see in an cathedral or something.

Well done. I'm enjoying this series on the work bench. Thanks

neat, clean, tidy, semi-short... your vids are like my morning underwear (could not find another positive metaphor unfortunately but it is legit!)

I agree about the annoying nature of holes allowing stuff to fall through. I've seen spring loaded retractable dog pegs, I wonder if anyone has created ones that could go through from below tight enough to stay, but loose enough that you could knock the through from above, but attached to short strings so that they aren't lost.

I am with you on that point about to many holes I got a mft that I got given to me and I loved it at first but I do think there is to many but I want to fill some in but with out completely Ruining the bench

Luvly jubbly. The holdfasts are great - so simple but so effective

Hey Matt, did you see any downsides for mounting the vice with the back jaw flush with the front of the bench? Could be useful for holding longer boards reqiring a second clamping point to the front of the bench.

Your workbench looks lovely and usable. But where can I get that drill bit you're using?

That's a great bench Matt. I especially like the fact you didn't bother trimming off the round overs on the wood, gives it some character.

Looks awesome Matt. Also, your happiness with the project is contagious!

Looking forward to seeing all the tool boxes and accessories fitted under the workbench there is an amazing amount of space

👍👍👍. Thank you Matt

Looks way too pretty for a workbench! What will be the first project you make on this bench, Matt?

Looks very good 👍🏼
