A soon as I publish a video I usually remember something I meant to say. This time I forgot to mention I need to make a back screen to stop chips falling down the back of the workbench. I'll probably make that from the tin I took off the original workbench shelf. Also I will seal the inside of the drawers with a couple of coats of water based varnish. :)
One note about your welding, be careful how often you weld in shorts as the weld arc can be hot enough to actually give you sunburns with enough exposure.
Now you can use the mill to level the head of the vise you want to restore, it'd be an interesting follow up for both of them, either way excellent job on the bench!
"It wasn't the most exciting project" - these practical shop improvement episodes are actually some of my favourites! I'm never going to build a wooden bladeless fan (still amazing to see you do it) but I can definitely see myself building a workbench, etc.
It doesn't have to be a "thrill-a-minute" video in order to be satisfying, Neil. Your steadfast approach to the work and conversational narration make each video a winner. Some of your videos are more entertaining than others (a huge python in the workshop?!), but your channel's baseline is head and shoulders above so many others!
That’s the great thing about watching you work. I can sit here with my morning coffee and watch you work and when it is over, I feel like I’ve done something rewarding with my day. 😃
From the video photo it looked like the drawers were made from steel. Good job making them look like metal.I like videos like this that shows you can fix/alter existing equipment. Keep up the great work!
"…Let me know if this is a video you would be interested in…" I would watch a video of you tying your shoelaces - so - Yes, a vise restauration done by you: INTERESTED! And on top of that: MILLING videos by Pask!!!! Can't wait to see your approach to this machine!
I would like to thank you for sharing your skills and thoughts and techniques with the world sir. I’m have a hard time right now but to be able to watch your work and the projects you do always helps to keep going giving me motivation and determination to get to where I would like to be. Thank you and please don’t stop.
I never get tired of seeing your builds. That trick with the hot glue to hold the faceplates on the drawers is very slick. If I can ever learn how to build a drawer box that's square and true.... I'll have to remember give it a go!
Another very informative presentation. Thank you very much for recording and sharing these with those of us who aren't quite as skilled as you. Keep up the awesome work, and I look forward to your next video.
Pask, For the inside of the drawers, I would consider some kind of rubberized paint like a truck-bed coating. That way the drawer and tools tossed in there are protected. But it's your call of course. I think the angle iron for drawer pulls makes the whole project look like a professional tool cabinet. Really quite well done sir. I'd be more than proud to have either bench, or both, in my shop. Quality work. I may have left the front tubes open on the sides for somewhere to stick a tool or grounding clamp, but that's me. May not be a scrapwood challenge, but still a top shelf project. Thanks for sharing.
We need to get you to 1 million subscribers. I always enjoy the videos. The transformation of the old bench to something new was amazing. I don't think the video was dull at all. Good luck and keep them videos coming.
Huge respect for a man who can disassemble 60% of something and then rebuild it. I know I'd have struggled to stop myself breaking down the whole thing to rebuild it
That's what is all about... take an old metal bench a create something so functional and nice out of it. Another grate video Neil, very well done and yes please lets see that vise restoration, I have a Record #5 that needs to be restore too... Thanks mate !!!
Well, that’s that. I’m caught up. Watched every single video over the past couple weeks, several twice. Can’t wait for the next one! I’ve always built things, but watching your videos has changed my whole approach - for the better. I’m just “having a go” from now on. I always get hung up on the details rather than just execute the project and learn from mistakes or improve on the design. I can tell you from experience that that’s not the best way! Haha... Anyway, thanks for sharing your gifts/skills with the world. People like you make life better for others. 🤝👊
Really impressed with how you rescued this bench and made it sturdy enough for a mill. Using angle for the drawer handles was a wonderful finishing touch!
I always thoroughly enjoy watching your videos, and I am learning stuff too! Not that I will ever weld anything, but just watching how you spaced the drawer fronts and the little things like that is super beneficial for a wide range of projects.
Looks good and dose the job it was intended for, you cannot ask more than that. As a bonus, you have a load more draw space and that is never a bad thing
Neil, you could make a video of you cutting your nails and I'm certain it would still be interesting and educational-- please make a video of the vise restoration when you get a chance :)
I'll be honest. I was calling that table a lost cause when you showed the how it was originally built. I'm glad to be proven wrong. What a great rebuild! 👍
Yes I would love to see someone like yourself do a full restoration on that vice I think you're extremely good at what you do and I think you would make a great video
Love your style, love your comments, love your projects (well, most of them), thx for doing what you do!... ah yeah, love your 2 sweet dogs too, didn’t see them in a while
All your projects seem to come out looking great. I'm inspired to take on a few projects now. I would like to see what you can do with the vise. Thanks for sharing your work, good stuff.
Didn’t even realize this was a Pask Makes video when I clicked it but as soon as I heard his voice I hit the thumbs up cause I knew it was gonna be top quality Edit: I was absolutely correct in my preemptive like.
Vise... no question! I love to see bargain material turned into excellence like this. Really miss the old scrapwood challenge. This was like a revisit in metal
A soon as I publish a video I usually remember something I meant to say. This time I forgot to mention I need to make a back screen to stop chips falling down the back of the workbench. I'll probably make that from the tin I took off the original workbench shelf. Also I will seal the inside of the drawers with a couple of coats of water based varnish. :)
I was wondering about the inside of the drawers...
Great project and content as always. Thanks Neil!

Vise video please I got a hand me down vise with a REALLY sloppy screw and honestly I just don’t know enough about them to feel comfy just digging in.
Absolutely would like to see the vise restored to usability.
Me too. Great job mate!
Yep. Take a look at "My Mechanics" for some serious inspiration for reconditioning a vise.
Yes that is a great idea
Me too
Yes please
"It wasn't the most exciting project" - these practical shop improvement episodes are actually some of my favourites! I'm never going to build a wooden bladeless fan (still amazing to see you do it) but I can definitely see myself building a workbench, etc.
Thanks Tyler - glad you enjoyed it! :)
Loved this style of video, makes me want to head down to the shed now and turn the two old heavy 12’ trestles into that metal work bench tonight.
I feel you here the wood working stuff is cool but these practical videos are more my thing.
Really enjoy rehabbing old, "just ok" pieces into more functional pieces especially with material you had lying around.
Of course I'd like to see the vise restored, watching Neil at work is a privilege.
No matter what you're making you're positive attitude and work ethic is very good therapy.
I love to watch your welding projects. I am learning each time I watch your videos. The reworked table is a great success. Thank you for sharing.
It doesn't have to be a "thrill-a-minute" video in order to be satisfying, Neil. Your steadfast approach to the work and conversational narration make each video a winner.

Excellent result for a new home for your milling machine. And yes, restore the vice on a video.
Doesn't look anything like the original. Fabulous build. Look forward to seeing the mill up and running. Definitely do the bench vice overhaul. 👍👍👍👍

Can't wait to see your approach to this machine!
Thanks Max! I have no idea what will be happening on the milling machine but it should be fun figuring it out! :)
@@PaskMakes Looking forward to watching you figuring it out! There's a lot I can learn from you!
I was eyeing up those boots while watching. Laceless RockRoosters?
A big yes for the vise video! Anything you make, we'll watch!

I'm a solid advocate for up-cycling & re-cycling......... So no arguments from me.
An excellent job well done and looking forward to your next video.
Love everything you do man! You're a great teacher Neil! I think I speak for the most of us that we want to watch anything you feel like making!
That is better than store bought . You need to make a wall hanging "Ill save that might come in handy some day"
giving old bench new life, super cool project.
Definitely want to see Vice restoration. Thanks for your awesome videos, man.
What a gem of a table! Love that you re-used the stuff! 👍👍👍
A lot of people would have chucked the old bench to the tip, but you made it look as good as a bought one. Cheers
I want to see a video of you restoring the vise!
Another very informative presentation. Thank you very much for recording and sharing these with those of us who aren't quite as skilled as you. Keep up the awesome work, and I look forward to your next video.
Nice Job Neil ...so therapeutic watching you work... Cheers Paul in the UK

I'd love you see you do a video restoring that vice.
Fantastic work. I loved this. I would greatly enjoy seeing that vise restored!
Huge difference, I too would like to see vice restoration
Yes to the restoration too!
That was a fun watch!
Also, yup, I second the vise restoration motion.
We need to get you to 1 million subscribers. I always enjoy the videos. The transformation of the old bench to something new was amazing. I don't think the video was dull at all. Good luck and keep them videos coming.
I'd move into that bench and live there today. Beautifully done!

Nicely refurbished. Looks 100 times better.
Yes on the vice restoration video, I love your videos no matter what they are about.
Well, that’s that. I’m caught up. Watched every single video over the past couple weeks, several twice. Can’t wait for the next one! I’ve always built things, but watching your videos has changed my whole approach - for the better. I’m just “having a go” from now on.

I really like the idea of recycling steel instead of throwing it away. Great project!
I’d love to see a restoration video of the bench vise. Also hoping you’ll do a video on the setup of your new mill - that looks like a great machine!
Really impressed with how you rescued this bench and made it sturdy enough for a mill. Using angle for the drawer handles was a wonderful finishing touch!
Glad you enjoyed it Damien! :)
VICE RESTORATION - YES PLEASE! It's been so good watching the My Mechanics and Geoffrey Croker ones.
Feel free to make videos on anything you make or restore!!! Love em all you are the best!
I always thoroughly enjoy watching your videos, and I am learning stuff too! Not that I will ever weld anything, but just watching how you spaced the drawer fronts and the little things like that is super beneficial for a wide range of projects.
I'm calling it now, this video is going to get over a 2 million views, looks pretty good neal
Awesome re-fit. I can't wait to see the mill going. Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
Excellent as alway, looking forward to seeing that mill in use!
Awesome job as usual. Love the videos and would like to see the vise restoration.
I am continually astonished a your boundless creativity and skill!
A fine job,sir! Your shops are coming along quite nicely 👌
Your videos are such a pleasure to watch , you are so talented and skilful.
I love the finished result , very envious !
Thanks again for sharing .
Yet another great video. Would love a tour of your outside land and workshop inside and out. 👍🏻
Fantastic! I love the coloured and symmetry.
Looks good and dose the job it was intended for, you cannot ask more than that. As a bonus, you have a load more draw space and that is never a bad thing
It’s so cute that the benches match! 😍
Looks 1000 times better than when you started. Well done! You never cease to impress
Fantastic, and I would like to see the vice restoration. One of my favorite types of videos, all over UA-cam.
Can't wait to see some milling videos!
Any time you ask if we want to see a video about something else, the answer is yes. Always yes!
I watched the entire video, yet you can't fool me - I refuse to believe that is the same bench. Nice work, very inspiring.
Neil, you could make a video of you cutting your nails and I'm certain it would still be interesting and educational-- please make a video of the vise restoration when you get a chance :)
I would happily consume any content you decide to release.
As a restoration fan and a fan of yours, I'd say that these two interests would overlap perfectly! Would love to see a vice restoration by you!
Quality craftmanship! Good job!
I'll be honest. I was calling that table a lost cause when you showed the how it was originally built.
I'm glad to be proven wrong. What a great rebuild! 👍
This was very exciting indeed! One of my favorite videos are about making your workshop perfect for yourself!
Great video!
Gotta love Blundstones! Best boots ever!
always good to see repurposing - just to prove what's possible if nothing else.
Enjoy the "new" bench and the mill!
Nice bench look professional. And yes, please show the vice restauration.
I have years watching your work it's very good
Hello,
A very nice transformation... looking forward to seeing some milling action...
Take care.
Paul,,
It's always amazing to see what talented people can do with old scrap. I would probably had tossed that old piece of junk and started over. :)
Great looking project! Thanks for the video.
Yes I would love to see someone like yourself do a full restoration on that vice I think you're extremely good at what you do and I think you would make a great video
You can make a video about anything and I would watch it. So yes, show us the vice.
It wasn't the most exciting project, Pask says. Prior, he upgraded a rotting workbench by a 900%. Excellent video.
Yes on that wise restoration 🙂
That's absolutely brilliant, looking forward to seeing what you do with the mill too.
Yes please to vice restoration vid 👍🏼
That came out amazing!! Nice job!!
Great job. I really enjoyed watching your channel for then first time.
Love your style, love your comments, love your projects (well, most of them), thx for doing what you do!... ah yeah, love your 2 sweet dogs too, didn’t see them in a while
Nice upgrade.I'm really not a metal worker. But I really enjoy all of you videos.
Great project and the two benches look great together. If you have more scrap metal laying around it might be time for a Scrap Metal Challenge.
I'd like to see the vise restored and how you set up the the milling machine. Great job on the bench
Thanks for sharing
Very nice transformation.
All your projects seem to come out looking great. I'm inspired to take on a few projects now.
I would like to see what you can do with the vise. Thanks for sharing your work, good stuff.
Awesome build! Kudos from Brazil
Yes on the vice
It’s worth more now, isn’t it? And yes, more vice, please!
Didn’t even realize this was a Pask Makes video when I clicked it but as soon as I heard his voice I hit the thumbs up cause I knew it was gonna be top quality
Edit: I was absolutely correct in my preemptive like.
Vise... no question! I love to see bargain material turned into excellence like this. Really miss the old scrapwood challenge. This was like a revisit in metal
Thanks Tim - the scrapwood challenge will be back, hopefully soon. :)
He has a milling machine. Level completed.
Great work! Yesterday I welded new metallic workbench for myself (2000mm*700mm*870mm) Without boxes, yet. It have pretty big weight..
Definitely want to see that vise video!
We would pask👍
"I was only meant to paint two but got carried away" I think we have all been there!
"it wasn't the most exciting" Dude stop saying sorry, your vids are amazing and always inspire. keep it up.
Amazing Pask!!
Very impressive on many fronts.
