This workbench has been made from MDF and Tasmanian Oak. Please keep in mind that the processes in this bench have been rushed due to my time constrains, meaning I made some quick design decisions and was not sticking to standard building practices. Including glue drying times. Some of the parts I glued up, especially the Tasmanian oak to the front of the first bench to help level it back out, was not fully cured when I trimmed it down. It had been drying for approx. 4 hours as I attended to other parts of the build like painting etc. In a better situation where I would have had more time, I would have let this cure for more than 24 hours due to the stresses. But the screws did a good job keeping everything together.

A help maybe?
Regarding resistance to bending (sagging workbench).
There are vast numbers of formulae calculating “bending stiffness” depending on the shapes of a design but the major influence is given by the height of the construction vs the bending direction.
The simplistic rule is that:
A) increase the width (thickness) by, let’s say 20% will increase the bending resistance by 20%
B) but increase the height by that 20% and it will increase the bending resistance by >70%.
Kind regards

PS. Big admirer of your work.
(Bending resistance for a rectangular cross section is:
Width x Height x Height x Height (divided by 6 which is irrelevant in the explanation for why increasing height is so much more rewarding).
pleasure watching you!
Very interesting to see how you practice new ideas and techniques.
It is a nice reminder that everyone is always tuning up their skills.

@@hoilst265 One early detection indication for clinical depression, is when one starts to see people around oneself as idiots and bouncing on ever so slight things, finding them irritating.
Not condescending! 70 years experience talking and depression is an extremely dangerous condition. Just saying, maybe you should read up on the other 10 symptoms. Better safe than sorry.
Reason? - “I can’t believe that I overlooked this..” is to others, solely what he said. Literally.

@@hoilst265 see ya. Dont need that kind of attitude around here
There is no money or project more important than the family. Never cancel. Make another time to finish the builds. It's just wood or dust panels.... In your case. XD
It isn't always the level of importance though. Sometimes it makes sense to cancel. Saying never is the wrong attitude. It's about the end result. If canceling is going to effect your memories and relationships negatively then don't if it just means you don't do something you had planned but doing the work sets you up for other memories and opportunities for your family, then it is worth canceling.
That would be a great way to handle things but if one is an employee not the business owner they don't have that luxury. Honestly most businesses I've worked for in the US talk a good game but when push comes to shove their business is more important than your family.
I already knew this but thanks for the reminder.
Well, family time is a priority for sure. We’re not given the event you’re missing but work is work and your UA-cam programs play a part in your income, and as such have to be considered. Sometimes there will be tough decisions you can’t ignore. Obviously your time is tight, to the point that “wiggle time” is a sin in your world view,and I couldn’t live with it. That said you gotta do what you gotta do. There will probably be other baseball games for Jimmy, and budgeting 24 hours for shop projects, built to your high standards plus the time it takes to get it edited in time for us, seems like an ulcer in the making to me. But that’s what keeps us here. Thanks for your commitment
Nick, being a perfectionist is both a gift and a curse. The bottom line is your work is so freakin amazing, even the most talented woodworker wouldn't ever notice any flaws as you see them... only you know where they are.
The project was a massive success! Instead of berating yourself, cut yourself some slack! 99.9999% (6sigma) is hard to attain, but you your work is ALWAYS beyond exceptional.
As an aside, I always love your soundtracks. My playlists are filled with music I hear on your channel and I thank you for that!
Thank you
It does not matter if you are not fully invested in this project STILL A MASTER PIECE!!,Cheers from Toronto Canada!!
Hello from a fellow Torontonian.
I miss woodworking, haven’t had the space for years. Thank for letting me live vicariously through your channel.
Same here! I miss it so much.
Me three. I have the tools and such. However, I have no workshop nor am I able to work outside... It sux living around other people. I also watch and live vicariously through some amazing craftspersons. Nicks is in the top 3!
I miss it too! Have 2 day-napping babies and every time I’ve gone to do some cutting, the power tools wake them up. Have to wait until there aren’t anymore day naps. 4 years later. Lol. Watching Nick work will have to do for now.
. Sorry for you. Space you need indeed..
I didn't wanna wait around, so I just do it in my apartment
Wait... You have a space problem??? 😢
That's what I'm saying! I mean I have a space problem too, as in no space. I use my front porch, I will get there one day........ one day.🤔😁
Always spend time with your family once they're gone you'll regret it. We'll always be here and we'll never be as important as your family. Great video as always.
I watch several woodworking channels, this is certainly the most ARTISTIC of them. I like when you show how you fix "a problem" you've made. Very entertaining.
Thank you
Started a new job today. My ex boss struggled with the concept of " work smarter, not harder". While he still agreed with me, but how he scares the other guys, as an older worker, I see that if the others are busting their balls, he's happy, no matter if they rush or mess up and have to do it more than once, resulting in their frustrations, and plenty of used band aids. It seems we can't fix stupid
No one on their deathbed has ever said, “I should have spent more time at work”.
Yo dawg, I heard you like storage so we got some storage and put it on your storage.
😂
Wish I had a vacuum setup like yours. I am stuck with using the PVP for now : Parked Vehicle Press . I lay the work out in the driveway between boards and park a car on it.
This was already amazing all around, but specifically the bit where you not only have permanent vacuum bag stations, you also have the tubing routed through the table tops so they're tucked away inside the table internals?! Chef's kiss.
Incredible how what looks like a beautiful bespoke filing cabinet for large engineering drawings, opens up to reveal a couple of marvelous functional vacuum workstations plus a few large utility storage drawers! Genius craftsman!
Of all your tools, I’m most jealous of your table saw set up. Very nice. Great build!
Great idea! I also use MDF a lot for my workshop. It's not so nice to see, but the quick build gives satisfaction, time is never enough. As my friends say (they run a woodworking company), here in Italy you can see plumbers, electricians, home builders, drive a Ferrari, but we never saw a woodworker in a luxury car...
It seems like your particular style of colour grading makes specifically the Makita-Teal colour look kind of odd (more green than teal), to the point where I was wondering why you were using a HiKoki tool with a Makita battery (especially at time 19:54).
Not necessarily meant as criticism, just something I noticed.
always amazing... but ... MDF plugs for the screw holes would have been epic.
Jealous! I think that bench might be the size of my shop. Looks like you’ve got room for at least one more Nick in there. Roommates?
Theres so much room for activities, we'd never get any work done!
I speack spanish, sorry. Es fascinante verte trabajar. Increible la precisión, la dedicación, para mi, toda una enseñanza.
You are so good! Congratulations
I’m so thoroughly impressed with your stunning workbenches 3 in 1 style and ik I could definitely use this concept as I’m in a tiny one car garage. This is why I love when talented woodworkers like yourself stop the beautiful works of art and devote some personal self care time because what your brains design far surpasses anything I’d create on my own. Any more of these and I’d be so grateful and thrilled to watch. Right now my garage looks like a hoarders house but with tools and it’s because I’m so damn indecisive about what I want and in some ways I’m ok with that. Lumber, plywood and mdf all cost a lot and I’d rather know for sure what I’m building and how I can utilize it to the fullest potential and this build is definitely one that’d be cherished and used long term. Mine would have to be scaled down, I need to come up with a different plans as I can’t imagine I’d be using sheets like yourself but I like the assembly, router table idea. I’d also like a dedicated place to sand that sucks the sawdust (can’t think of the name of course) and also store vacuum and dust deputy so maybe that could either be the second or smallest bench?
Downdraft table is what I think it's called. I narrowed my focus down to smaller projects because after wrestling with large sheet goods, I always feel sore and it was not the safest operation to run a sheet of 3/4" ply through my tablesaw by myself. I want to focus on box-making, picture frames or anything else that isn't going to be difficult to heft around a one-man shop. As I get older, this will be even more important. Hope this helps with your project choices.
I have deer paths, not aisles, through my overcluttered shop.
Wow...I was just thinking about the work bench today.......then UA-cam shot me this video! tHank you ....and tHanks to the com mentors !
awesome
2nd !
Outstanding! I love that this not only helps solve shop infrastructure and create functionality for you, but that you also created something that once again is great to look at. So enjoy your content sir!
As always. Beautiful work. Love how you configured your vacuum tables into one space. Brilliant! I share the same sentiment on my shop furniture verses client pieces.
Wonderful job!
Thumbs down for the complaining and drama, having an huge workshop with all the conditions and tools to work. Human being at their best.
UA-camrs... 👎
Im not a youtuber, Im a furniture maker that runs a business. In order to produce the work I make I need a large shop. One that Ive worked incredibly hard for over 2 decades. I hope thats ok with you
A very nice video! I’m currently working on a project with mdf to, and I would also like to make similar grooves for looks but I’m afraid that it will bow the mdf over time. Does anyone has experience on this?
As long as its fixed from behind it should be fine
I've been watching a lot of your videos and I'm sorry if this has been asked and answered before:
What face mask do you wear?
I ant to buy it, I need it in my workshop.
still wondering
Awesome! I'm getting ready to redo some workbenches in my shop, glad I watched this first! Such a great idea!

Hi, I have now watched the video, It still looks good, and serves for your purpose, but this is the reason why I used 1 inch thick plywood, Just over 6 inch wide strips, I then glued them together, and then I planed and thickness the two edges, I to work by my self, but making this table/workbench it took 4 of us to assemble, look forward to seeing your next project,
Hi Padulla , great looking work bench , I made something similar years ago, 1-5 X 3- , I used birch ply, and about 2 months ago I bought a vintage Roubo work bench, £50 , with wood screws vice, one on the front and one the end, I/we look forward to seeing you next project, on your new bench,
This channel fills the hole left by Timothy Wilmots Benchworks. Amazing content. Editing, voiceover, b-roll, exposition, BGM all on point!
I have a question. How often do you need to calibrate your sliding table saw? I have a mid-priced SCM saw and it's a disaster.
Nicely done. Always a pleasure to see a new video from you
Thank you
Well done! Looks great, even with all of the oversights. It's functional and does the job, which is what matters in the end. Look forward to your next project!
Like always, very unique and detailed craftsmanship. Job well done, mate.
C'mon mate.... it's been 5 months since your last upload............ think of your fans!!!!!
I keep waiting for the mistake... It's never show up 🤷♂... That thing looks AMAZING by the way. 😏
Hello from Southwestern Pennsylvania. Just found your web video. Really enjoyed it. I liked and subscribed, I owned a video production company in the 80''s. I am stunned by the relative low cost and quality of modern cameras and editing software.😊. Thanks! Shalom/gw
We need a new video! I miss your content, it's the only UA-cam videos I actually watch on my TV. 5 months! You must be cooking up something great. Hope to see you soon. ❤
7:08 The single biggest problem with the box truss top design I can see at the moment is getting anything run from the back of the bench to the front face like electrical receptacles or shop air hookups UNLESS you allow for them (by adding conduits and device boxes to run wires or air hoses through at a later date) or outright install them before installing the top...
Edit: OK, I missed the Longitudinal Rigidity Problem...Bite me, I'm an Electrician, not a Cabinet maker...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Brilliant even with the short cuts! Master class once again. Thank you 👍
I must say, I almost didn't recognize your Channel behind the Thumbnail of this Video. It gives an unusual amateur like “wannabe” Clickbait vibe. Didn't click to watch it for days. Until I read the Channel name 🙈 I liked your professional ones better. Otherwise, amazing work, as always!
MDF was sawdust compress to that certain thickness. Unformed flat.
But does not have strength like wood. Good for spray paint finish.
Only problem was all cut end must add on sealer. If not water will sip in.
The MDF would be destroyed.
Any span, longer than 3feet or 1 meter. Internally to add wood in between.😊
Too much promotion for my taste. Promoting this project. Promoting tools. Promoting patrion. I love how to vids of this type: despised this one. Will block this channel.
Oh, something scammy about that artificial rush to get it done in 24 hrs: I don’t believe you.
All I can say is WOW!!!!! I have been looking into vaccuum press. What brand did you go with?
Using 3/4th inch plywood for the stretchers in the box instead of MDF (and kept MDF for the top and bottom) would have likely kept it from sagging.
Hope you are doing fine, been a long time since your last video. You are by far the best out there when it comes to wood working and I admire your dedication for perfection in all your builds.
Tc & God bless.
You make some beautiful furniture.....even your "shop" furnature is jaw dropping!!! I just wish MDF where I live was actually a cheap material, it is actually double the cost of a sheet of plywood of the same thickenss. Try to figure that one out!
I have found arbitrary deadlines lead to sloppy work and accidents. Far easier and safer to reschedule or schedule twice as much time as you think is needed and achieve superior outcomes with far less anxiety. Regardless, your results are always excellent.
i was always wondering for what is good this vacuum drying technique ? what is the best usage of it just small pieces or big tables as well does it dry quicker or it help the drying process somehow...
And, you should know that the vacuum pumps I worked with cost $4000 each in the mid 1990's.
They worked even better in a hurricane!
Why did you choose a sliding panel saw versus a Striebig-type Vertical against-the-wall panel saw?????
I sure wish I could do that rushed, half-hearted quality 😆 Dang that is a beautiful solution, great work and thanks for taking us on the journey.
Thanks for watching
re thicker top: Or, just don't use MDF for the top surface.
Rather than a torsion box, for my next bench I'd look into pre-made flat surfaces. A friend of mine had one a number of years ago, and swears by it. I don't remember what it was called, though.
Hey. I really like the work you do. I've been working on a tattoo for myself that has a Roubo work bench based on yours. Could you do a walk-through of your vacuum and filtration system? Is your vacuum in a separate room? How often are you changing bags?
Really beautiful work! I do have a few questions. Where was the drawer handles purchased from? What color and brand is the green paint?
sooo incredible how fast masters of their trade are.
I just adore it every time and aspire to become so good
Your 'relatively small area' is about same size as my entire work area. 😁
The 'work smarter not harder' is so overused, I've had several bosses who have said it to me, but, when they see you working 'smarter' all of a sudden, there is just more to do so you end up working even harder than before without any benefit (even if you do stay fit)
It really wasn't a problem in my 30's, even 40's wasn't so bad but in mid 50's it started getting more difficult and last few years since retirement, well, watching You Tube video's is easiest thing to do.
I respect your level of craftmanship and your hard work you're putting in on your UA-cam journey. But the part of your intro when you saying "you don't know how you overlooked this and don't have the time to fix it" feels too clickbaity.
I know you don’t have employees or anyone filming. But what kind of safety precautions do you have in place? Having worked in shops, accidents happen, even to the best of us. Most of my friends that it’s happened to would have been in serious trouble without a shop mate there.
Nice build! I'm guessing sticking with bags vs a hinged top veneer table gives you more flexibility. I'm anxious to see what your mad scientist brain does with your new laser.
At least you had the extra floorspace. EDIT: Also… who only works 8 hr days? Especially when up on deadline?
@pedullastudio just checking to make sure you're all right. Hope all is well.
Great and useful final project, but I can't get past the idea that after all the time, effort and money put in you've just got an MDF workbench. On the outside it looks like a piece that should be around for generations but it absolutely won't hold up over time.
I love your videos, keep up the good work. Sometimes, we have to just accept "good enough" and man, this is still way better than I could ever make.
Greetings from Toronto Canada, It I is a great pleasure to watch and learn from an artist, your videos are a breath of fresh air . That 2nd work bench you just made is a work of art ,even if you think you missed something. Just wondering if you would considering getting a helper or apprentice woodworker who is open to your great teachings, you help him and he helps you, this may allow you time for you self and to deal with other distractions. Keep up the great work, always looking forward to the next video.
Shop furniture that's nicer than anything in my house.... I love the ethos of making everything beautiful, even functional items.
Does Nick ever mention what happened to his right hand? As a woodworker, it's intriguing to know how this happened and how much it affects doing different things. As a guitarist also, this must have been harrowing at the time.
Nested benches are amazing for small shop too. It allowed me to finally fit a tablesaw in my tiny shop without losing the main workbench. Space is precious regardless of you square meters available, we always grow to fill what we have :)
Could do without the time crunch. It takes away from your usual calm and smooth approach in your videos. We are all busy and don't have enough time set aside for the things we need in our shops.
Keep up the great work, can't wait to see what you'll come up with next!
Is there are reason that you haven't evolved to building and using a vacuum frame? Bags are a PITA to use compared to a frame, and you can make a frame that mounts to a wall and swings down to save space when not in use. They can even swing down while something is being pressed in them. They are much easier to use with forms for curved work, and can be made to whatever size you need.
i see people with stuff all over walls, taking up HUGE amounts of space. how about multilevel wall cabinets, Studley type. sure if you need flat surfaces, add tables with storage under, but there is a LOT of wasted space on those walls. and maybe people want all their stuff to be visible. my preference is to have all my stuff put away behind beautiful cabinets. it's the work i want to show off
Hi Nick , I think I would be 1 of thousands of wood workers that would love to respond asap to any call for voluntary support! , just even to enjoy working in your work shop!
You have such a beautifully equipped shop. What about some decent lighting?
Absolutely great.
When's the next video coming out? Impatiently waiting sir lol.
Great job and sweet ideas ....cheers from Austria. You running a great channel here on youtube.
It's shop furniture so you can always paint things in the future, great concept and does look awesome from my perspective!
I think that was a brilliant idea using the wood to spring up the dip in the middle of the large table. I’m curious how well it will hold up over time. Brilliant idea, awesome build. Thanks for sharing.
What color paint is that if you don’t mind sharing? The green. Anyway I could get a brand and color code?
This is genius, and the toothpick was the chef's kiss. I have so many comments, but I think I'll just say that it's so very comforting to see someone else get that anal retentive about mere shop furniture. I thought it was just me.
This is awesome! I think. every two car garage shop around could use something like this! You have plans you say? Hmmmm.....
Thanks
24 hours to build a workbench that you'll have for 10+ years. Sell me on a better storyline than that🤣
You are an artist and as an artist quite often we do have to make sacrifices thats the nature of what you do. Its funny because people don't understand but when there see the results its an Aha moment. Love your work! Man if only you were UK based...
Do you guys also feel the thrill of putting a very curled veneer in a bag, wondering if it will ever turn out ok, then starting the vacuum pump and seeing how it's all being pulled dead flat? for me this is something that excites me, every time again.
MDF is not so cheap these days. I can build a work bench out of hard maple 3 inches thick for the same price as a 3-inch mdf top.
It is a beautiful piece. I don't think I would have picked that color but it would have been me that would be missing out. Absolutely love it
I have worked with vacuum bags a lot. Think about this. Atmospheric pressure is about 14.7 pounds per square inch. There are 144 square inches in a square foot. That means over 2000 pounds per square foot of clamping pressure. You can't do that with a clamp.
Now think about a gallon of milk. It weighs about 8 pounds. That is about 160 gallons of milk sitting on a square foot of your project. This is why vacuum bags work so well.
You can go to a big box store and get a bag to store clothing in. They just need a house vacuum cleaner to suck most of the air out. Maybe all you get is 1000 pounds per square foot. That is only 80 gallons of milk. Picture that.
For almost no money, you can get into vacuum bag technology. Try it, you will like it.
I so wish I could be apart of your patreon and those who are are really lucky. But for now I’ll have to stick to the free content (if your feeling nice you could upload the other builds you did during this week 😏)
3:30 Haste is the greatest enemy of woodwork.
I'd hate working with powered tools while being under pressure.
Beautiful work but I hate MDF as unfinished it will move over time. It does pay to seal it well if you want it to last.
Waste of draw handles. You could have made it look good without making look like something it isn't.
Why?
Space, money, time, tools and of course skills :)
That is one beautiful piece of furniture, wait.. That is three beautiful pieces of furniture .... 😍
Fascinating to watch this piece of shop furniture take shape. And even see how the extra mile lets it become pretty.
I have much more important things to do....But I sat here watching for the 30 plus minutes. Simply amazing, simply a very high level of professionalism. Very few, but he, are there.
Круто получилось,лайк,..но как то по времени я не верю, там только на распил и на разметку много времени должно уйти,..для чего вообще ставить таймер?.. а в целом очень круто😎🆒
Looks great and more importantly solves a problem. Love how it looks like there’s 20 drawers or so.
