I enjoyed the video 👍But a lot of that added effort we put into avoiding screwing into end grain isn't really necessary because they aren't massively weaker, if done right. Testing done by the FPL has consistently shown screws only lose about 1/4 of the strength going into end grain, which isn't a massive hit. If great withdrawal strength is important for a given application using thicker screws or longer screws can compensate fully for the effect.
I have the cutting blade from a broken hair clipper screwed to my bench with long screws, to adjust the height I back the screws out, put a shim (stirring sticks) underneath then tighten down again.
I feel particularly stupid when I see such simple and elegant solution to some problem. Simple, that is when you have figured it out so elegantly!
I love this. I'm in the middle of making myself a low Roman bench and I'm at the point of needing accessories
Crossing grains should work a lot larger than 2 inches, isn't that how plywood is made in 4x8 sheets? Just a thought
Hello, i like your idea, it s very clever, and very cheap to do, and you are inspire by a french book
A great thank from france😉👍😁

That's the best idea I've heard so far
Very clever! I've had those spare in the past and I don't think I'd have thought of this 👏👏
Fantastic work, Rob! 😃
I'm definitely going to make something similar! Thanks!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Love this! One of my projects is to get rid of this melamine work bench and get something lower and I can actually do some woodworking on!
Brilliant. Gonna make one!
That's a brilliant idea. Thanks.
nice job!
the metric system...
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh 😊
For the steel, could you use an old lawnmower blade? 💖🌞🌵😷
❤❤❤Cool!
Must be nice to have all the power tools lol
To use the round one it needs another dog and a plate to attach the two so it can bridge two dog holes.
3:20 ... I can still see some bare wood. Need more clamps! 🙂
Mite be time to sharpen your plane iron🔨🔨
lol...a san mai plane stop
why are you using the worst handplane ever made? I don't understand sir! I don't think one can find a worse handplane than that one!
