    Sunday morning with a ridiculously cool (and expensive) project. It really doesn't get any better. Thanks for showing the good and the "F-ups" too. It really does make watching entertaining and reassures me that I'm not the only one that waits to the very end of a project to irreversibly screw it up. Thanks!

    John, this is amazing. I follow Nick Padulla also. He stated he wanted his workbench to be an extension of his quality of work when customers come into his shop. You have just achieved this as well. When you have potential customers come into your shop and they see this work of art as a workbench that you use everyday, it becomes a selling point. Beautifully done sir and the carving work was the finishing touch

    Omg I love the rolling glue hopper!! It's so cute 😂 and the table itself is just glorious! If you wanted to do a sharp-edged carving with that amount of symmetry, you'd probably need to use a CNC or be extremely precise in order to be happy with the look. Rounding it out both removes any small flaws and also makes the grain undulate so beautifully, just like the water ripple you wanted to emulate!

    Hi 👋, John, very interesting work bench, I built a work bench many years ago, 3Mt x 1-5 Mt , I made the legs the same method as you have made, out of 1 inch thick through and through plywood, with the mitre locking joint, I did put an infill in either end of solid oak, so the framework could be bolted together, the workbench was a vacuum table as well, just over four years ago, I downsize, mainly I moved to France, I’m now in the process of making a small workbench similar to what you have just made, and I still have quite a lot of my machinery,
    Even a Watkin EKA Tenoner , SCM PLANNER SCM THICKNESSER , 10 hp spindle moulder, tilting head Felder .
    It looks like you have a decent size workshop, stay safe, and I wish you all the success for the future, Phil from the moulin France.

    You should see my bench lol. Its 12' long, integrated power strips ran to separate 20a breakers, It fits my 36"(?) Husky 8 drawer tool chest underneath (also adding outlets), drawers, and my table saw/stool goes underneath in the middle. Integrated dust collection with a custom arduino circut that controls a motor that switches dust collector position. Ive got a side mounted "sweep into" type port, and 2 ports on either end for the vacuum to connect to. It's all on caster wheels that ratchet up and down so it slides easily(relative to being a 12' workbench) And lastly I finished it with herringbone patterned laminate flooring that looks so nice and is super ez to clean. It's also got T track in it.

    Loved the video, I’ve been off work a year with vertigo, so I’ve seen a lot of your videos, found them to be great and fun! With this one, the bench looks great, whilst watching it , especially with some of the joints, a few of the expressive lines I sometimes use came to mind… such as “bodge it and sod it” and “close enough for farm work “ came to mind. lol. But it all came good and worked out in the end. “Build it use it bruise it!” Awesome. Keep up the good work.

    I built my first workbench based on your early bench video. It was an awesome learning experience- which is a nicer way that I F'd it up along the way but learned some valuable lessons. My biggest problem was that the perimeter frame was not square. Maybe off by 1/2". And I forgot to consider a 1/2" stand off from the adjustable table feet and so my Table Saw bench top is not exactly even with the workbench to use as an outfeed table. Regardless, I can adjust and make it work. But I did some drawers and open storage. Only think I should have incorporated a built in vice. And I used the workspace casters that you step on to engage- same ones from your video. They are awesome, but I mounted a bit too low and my table is heavy AF and it's difficult to engage.
    Anyway, awesome design. I would have maybe did your logo on the top face and filled in the voids with epoxy.

The bench looks great, and the wave logo came out very nice. Pedulla's bench is very nice. Another good build. If I build yours, I think I'm adding air shocks on one end. I want to get it bouncing, what with all the underlighting. (ha ha). Good stuff guys.

    Next time you plan to make lock miter corners on a box, legs, cabinet, etc. save yourself time, effort and a hassle- get a Lock Miter Master setup jig from Infinity. It is a simple, little, inexpensive jig that works with virtually every brand of lock miter bit (has limited capability when used with lock miter shaper bits with replaceable cutters.) No fiddling with multiple test cuts!

    How could someone tease us with scenes of a fishing kayak and not elaborate, address or mention it!?
