I can imagine what a relief and joy it was to finish this massive build off. Kinda sad the build videos are over, what a great thing to see every morning you come into the shop. 👌
But it had a baby, the PS5M...
@@OneManBandWoodworks hahaha at least that kid can be put straight to work, won't complain, and do a reliable job ;)
@@FixitFingers its rare but true
Good video. Ty. Like your sens of humour... i learned from you. This is the first time I see a wood worker using festool without a groomed beard, a hat, a clean lumberjack shirt selling a dozen of jigs from amazon without really teaching... In some of your videos you don't even wear shoes. Going to enjoy your channel.
Shoes and safety glasses as as necessary for me as the wings on Libra pads, enjoy
Top man. I've spent ages looking at mft bench build ideas, thought I'd settled on a final plan, and now I've seen yours I've changed it again. Thanks for taking the time to do the vids. Cheers
Thanks Russ, glad it helped someone, 2 years in I can say there's very little I would change possibly minus a few holes in the middle and use Andy Klein's twin screw instead
@@OneManBandWoodworks Oh that vice is ace, I'll look into it thank you. Do you know the rough overall bench top dimensions please? Looks to be a handy size. Thanks again.
@@russtaylor4242 its about 1100mm x 900mm by 900mm high but that's to fit my space
@@OneManBandWoodworks That's cool, just gives me an idea of scale. I think I'm aiming for 1200x800 so very similar. Thank you.
I realy like the way you broke it up into operations. I had an old plywood beater work bench. Just now working on a nice one. Your video was very helpful.
Thanks so much for watching, this bencj has copped so much abuse and is still going strong, when we eventually buy a farm property I think this will repurpose very well as my outdoor kitchen butcher block
I watched your coffee table video last night and I enjoyed it so much I was compelled to binge watch this playlist. For a newbie like myself this was extremely informative and inspiring. Thank you.
Wow thanks for watching glad you're liking the content
Awesome project, mate. I wish i could visit your awesome workshop when i go to great Australia (maybe someday...). Greetings from an Brazilian fan.
sarrefa thank you. If you ever visit Sydney get in touch
Sydney? Where about? We could be neighbors
What a very nice workbench you have made for yourself there young man
I like it, good job mate. I especially like the dog hole in the side of the end vice jaw. I'm that has/will come in handy often enough. 👍
Mate, great series of videos and fantastic work bench, thanks for sharing.
Great vid, love both your vice installs.
Thank you and thanks for tuning in
One Man Band Woodworks you don’t recall your shipping costs do you?? I’m still awaiting Carbatec to get the QR front vice.
@@leeroy-au I cant remember but I remember I bought tbe vice, dogs, leather jaw protectors and a vice rack stop with shipping and it cost less than the vice alone from carbatec.
I think the website tells you the shipping cost at checkout
Thankyou!
Great job enjoyed the series. You are very talented.
Thank you
Been a pleasurable series to watch mate & I hope the it serves you well long into the future & I’ve gained ideas for my next workbench so I thank you, this series is something I’m wanting to promote, cheers mate 🍻👍👍👍👍
Thanks bud I've got all that reclaimed stud material from the other video to build my brother in law's one. It's exactly the same only twice the length and we might be flattening it on the CNC.
All of those studs ended up being brush box!
I had seen many installs of this, and other screw rod end vices, and every time the thread base was put into the back claw and every time it not only required thickening that jaw it also resulted in racking (rocking) SIMPLY because of having only one point of stable contact to the bench .
I drilled the back jaw holes but instead of mounting the base I put metal bushing sleeves for the screw to pass through to a mounting bar a few inches back to which I mounted the Threaded base . Two actual solid mount points prevented any racking AND ALSO stabilized the screw shaft in the horizontal plane eliminating chain slop . (putting a block of wood to control rack not only is temporary just by wear and tear , it does not help in horizontal skewing of the rods)
Harry that is awesome and I really wanted to do the same, could you do a video or email me some sketches or photos and I'll try the same upgrade with a video? Ltozanis@officeservicesplus.com.au
HJ, do you have video or pictures of what you did? How has it held up? Thinking about adding one to my table.
Seriously though, very impressive bench. Would be interesting to here a follow up on how the vices go. I've thought many times about getting the veritas twin screw vice. Though in the current workshop setup it wouldn't work, so I just purchased a HNT tail vise. I'll even install it one day.
3 years later...
It's still going, extremely useful but keeps binding as it opens and the action is too slow, get the twin turbo from Andrew Klein instead
Awesome job mate and great series.
Thanks mate
Gorgeous bench.
Hello, thanks for the great video. Quick question... how long are the vise screws? Considering getting this vise, but not sure how long of an overhang I need for clearance for those screws under the table top. Wanna make sure my upper leg stretcher isn't going to be a problem. Thanks!
About 250mm from memory less your fixed jaw thickness
Awesome job Luis.
Oh, and USE your jointer guard mate!
love your safety boots mate very good :-)
I wanted to but couldn't walk away, nice video
This is great, not to mention the entertainment value :-)
Lol thank you
Looks like you screwed the back of the vise to the table as opposed to the bolt with nuts. Did it work? Looks like drilling the bolt holes and nut holes (per instructions) can be a hassle on an existing bench.
Hi Karen yes it worked fine it's still solid today but there was no instruction or hadrware supplied for bolting it on, only the screws I used. I also have a 75mm thick benchtop to scew into which helps
Really enjoyed this series!
Are you happy with the vise?
It's brilliant
Nice video! Subbed 🤟🏻
What do you use for shims to align the vise?
Just washers, varying sizes have different thicknesses
love you, too :-)
Thank you
That chain is not tight enough you can hear it run when you turn it
The DragonHawk ok thanks
5:10 for laughs
Read instructions first? I don't understand.
Obscenely over priced festation tool.
