How to Resurface a Workbench Using Hand Planes | Waterlox Finish 

Awesome video love Ernie and his work. And Waterlox is my favorite finish.

Thanks Ernie and woodworkers journal great video

Nice looking result. Time to give mine a once over

Bench looks great, like new

I use a piece of galvanized 1/4 inch screen to hold over the tool well as I vacuum. Just slide it down like a tray and most dust/chips are sucked up without sucking up your tools.

Very nice and informative video, thank you! Cheers

Should we seal the underside too to help prevent warping or cupping in winter time or when humidity changes?

Ernie, we've seen your long, long vintage floor planes in previous videos. Why didn't you use one of those to start?

Did you do anything to the lambs wool applicator between coats?

A workbench without a tool well? Granted, it requires a little discipline to keep it from becoming a "catchall". Just clean it and organize it once weekly. This is like tossing your tool belt for getting too full. How many steps are saves by a toolwell I have no idea. Knock a hand plane or two or chisels onto the floor because you had to leave them lying on top of your workbench, you may be ripping that cover back off pretty soon

"bad mistakes over the years". My bench is a couple years old and it has far more bad mistakes than his at 35 years.

It's pronounced height, not heith
