Vintage Workbench Restoration // 100 Year Old Cabinet Makers Workbench
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 чер 2019
- I finally have finished the full restoration of this awesome vintage woodworking workbench. This workbench is actually a cabinet makers style workbench from the late 1800s early 1900s, and now it functions like it did back in the day. I have owned this workbench for over 2 years and started the restoration 10 months ago, and honestly I never though the day would come when i could say its finally finished.
I believe the workbench is made from Beach and I needed to replicate the legs with some Birch since Beach is hard to find around me, but over all I tried to keep ever screw, every nail, and every part as original as possible.
Hope you guys enjoy the video. Thor and I had a blast shooting the intro and hopefully he will be making more appearances in the future videos. If you enjoyed this video I would love it if you subscribe to the channel so we can go on this journey together.

Believe it or not, Hammacher Schlemmer was around in the late 1800s / early 1900s and had benches just like yours that you could buy from their catalog. My great grandfather was a carpenter and had a bench just like this from the 1920s till his death in the 1970s. I have the bench now. VERY similar to yours. But mine is VERY used. Great bench and nice job restoring it while maintaining its originality. Well done.
I love these old benches! They’re so rare in Australia, the European styles especially. They often sell for more than $1000 unless you get very lucky
Hi Friend! Some years ago I bought a vintage Workbench exactly like yours, perhaps in a worse state, but identical, every day I look at it and intend to restore it. Your video gave me much more motivation to start the restoration.
I´ve seen many workbench "restorations", but you can really feel the love on this work!
WOW this is what you call a sympathetic restoration, it's great to see you restore this workbench rather than just tear it apart and remake it will new wood, well done and hats off to you for doing it Justice!!!
I have a similar one that was in our house when we bought it. Our house has been in my wife's family for a very long time. They were morticians and furniture makers. Mine is 8 1/2' long. You have inspired me to try harder to find a spot for it.
That's got to be a good feeling. Great job.
Great job. I respect the woodworking and editing skills. This is sweet.
Exquisite bench. What fortune to be able to come across one let alone, possess and restore it.
They say that the dog is the best friend yeah right Haha Haha kaboooooom
A wonderful restoration, when I was at school in the U K, in the 1950s we had one or two in the wood work class room, and more modem ones with the metal vice, they all had a tool well, in the middle, or at one side. I watched a video on the making of the bench in America, But why would you put a dining table finish on a work bench, there is know way you will ever use it for every day hard and heavy use, I mean just look at that magnificent bench you have put back in to use, over the years it has had a hard working life, despite the digs cuts and glue stains it out lasted its maker, I hope you get as much enjoyment using this bench as the former owners.
Sweet bench. Nice work. 👍
Mate, this is your best video yet! I love the way you focus on achievable projects and there isn’t a festool in sight. Your footage is fantastic and you’re a pleasure to watch at work. Keep it up!
The vise scene!!! Classic!!!
Great work on this. It makes me happy seeing your joy at completion. I remember the feeling when I finished converting my crappy first workbench into a quality tank of a joiners bench. It's a feeling if great accomplishment. By the way your skit with the dog was hilarious.
Back in the early 70s Aolean American piano works closed shop in east Rochester New York ,they had dozens of the benches for sale,I managed to buy one for 2 bucks it has a brass tag C Christianson Chicago ,I restored it and it is used as a serving bar and place for my dog to sleep under it.great video thanks mike
What a beauty! You did an incredible job on the bench. I wonder how many people passed on it before you? It looks like a lot of work went into it and it came out just beautiful. Did you get the rectangle steel bench dogs with it? Watch out that back tray is a clutter catch-all waiting to happen. Mine is always full of stuff and I have to clean it out every week, lol. I have my great great great grandfathers workbench and it looks just like yours except I don't have a wagon vise. My grampa had it last and left it to me along with tools from the late 1600s that came over from Ireland with an ancestor who was a cabinet maker. The collection was added to over the centuries. Both of my brothers are builders, so we split them up along with a room full of walnut, American chestnut, maple, cherry, and many other species in slabs. No one knew of the room, that was under the big barn. PS-Dude you need a dust mask. Lung issues are no joke. My brothers never wore masks and they both wish they had. My eldest brother has serious upper respiratory issues from it and my other brother is having some issues now. I know it's a personal choice, but for your kid's sake, reconsider wearing one. Okay, that's the last time I say anything on that subject. I just care and as a woodworker who is teaching my great-nephew, it was one of the first things I taught him along with other safety items.
Świetna robota . Szanuję ludzi którzy dbają o stare narzędzia i urządzenia . One maja duszę -:)))
I lowoodworking projects.. thank you Komar
Thanks for this cool video. I'm also refurbishing my bench and know what kind of job goes into getting a bench that nice looking. I can't believe you took it all apart into small pieces. Even fixing the metal screws. I definitely will use this as an example for my wife to sanction more power tools.
