I'm getting ready to build a garage bench and a woodworking bench for my basement shop. I've watched many bench building videos. You did a nice job on this. well done!
Great video. I wouldn't have glued the bread board end onto the tenons. This will not allow for the expansion and contraction of the top and may lead to cracks and even breakage in the ends.
Nice bench! Definitely has given me a few design ideas for my next bench build. Just curious, but by completely gluing the breadboard ends on, are you concerned about the top possibly warping due to wood movement?
Great video. Keep at it - i’m looking forward to seeing more from you! I’m sure it won’t explode in a shower dust and chips from all the wood movement 😅 One piece of constructive (i hope) critique. The narration sounds a lot like you reading out loud from a manuscript - it’s a bit jarring. If so, maybe you could try to just remember the key points, and then speak it out in a natural language like you would, if your viewers were right there in the workshop with you.
What he said about hoodie strings and long sleeves too. If you have a cold shop gonna wear long sleeves. Bench turned out very nice. Not sure what the deal is with that face vice though.
