Haha I was like....buuuuut why wouldn't you shave off the legs? So much less work! But I like how you include the mistakes...because I make many when I build 😅
It didn't fit because the ground is slanted for runoff. You can see the angle in the video. I'll bet if you'd measured the underneath height on all four sides of your existing bench, you would've caught it. Great video though, I'm going to copy your design!
I believe you are right. The workbench is perfectly level, but the floor does slant just a bit for runoff. The bigger issue was that it was too tall to work as an outfeed for my table saw. In hindsight, it would have been far simpler and safer to just cut the legs a little shorter at the bottom to correct it. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching!
I would've cut the legs, but, it worked out fine regardless. Enjoyed the "good, bad and ugly"..
+markforrestsm in hindsight, I should have cut the legs. Oh well, as you say: it’s worked out well. Thanks!

Love your humour 🤣 and your videos are easy to watch.😀
Thanks, Colleen!
Thank you for including the next generation in making anything by hand.
Do you think I should have just shortened the legs rather than cut down the top frame? I thought about both approaches....
