Good day eh!! Thanks for the comment. You know when I started this job it was going to be quick and dirty. Clear away by the walls and put up some insulation and sheathing and get back at it!! But when I had access to the walls it was such a great opportunity to make some changes that I have been dreaming about for many years. So now I'm locked into this 'loooong' retro fit of the shop!! It'll be nice if I ever get it finished!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Thanks Kenny! I had a hard time deciding whether or not to cut the bench down. But it turned out pretty good. Thanks for the visit. Take 'er easy!!
Lots of work getting that bench back in place. A major overhaul and reorganization every once in a while makes the work space more pleasurable to be in. Keep up the good work Mike!
How's she goin'? That's a fact eh Paul. Like they say, a change is as good as a rest!! LOL I'm some happy to get the bench back and cutting the end of it wasn't nearly as traumatic as I thought it would be!! LOL Have a great weekend. Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Your prayers are mighty powerful Mike and we appreciate them!! God bless you. It's good to get the bench back and I getting used to having it only 13 feet long now!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Good morning Mike, isn't it great to have the time to think and rethink a plan. It increases the odds that you are going to be thrilled with the end result. The shop is going to be a great place to spend time this winter. 👍 Have a good one, Ben 👋😎👍☕️
How's she goin'? You're right about rethinking a plan, but holy crow Ben, I get so many ideas and thoughts about what and how to set things up. It wears me out!! LOL Thanks for watching. Take 'er easy!!!
How's she goin'? Thanks Artie! Man I struggled with the decision to cut the bench down. But I'm glad I did it now. I think it'll be good. Thanks for watching old friend. Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? My back gave up getting cross at me a long time ago Dave!! LOL It was a struggle for sure but the physical struggles I can handle a lot better than the mental ones of trying to decide if I should cut the end off the bench!! LOL I think it's a good idea though!! Take 'er easy!!
Wow, things are really shaping up in the workshop. Change is hard! Sometimes I resist too, but the change usually works out for the best. Can't wait until the next installment! Cheers!
How's she goin'? Mike I posed over cutting this bench long and hard and then finally I did it. But did you notice I had a 'fall back' plan in case I didn't like it!! LOL But I think it'll be good after all my deliberations!! Thanks for the visit and take 'er easy!!
One fine day can I fly you out here and straighten out the reno happening here. Mybrother and a couple friends are doing the reno on the bathroom in my home. Lots of great ideas but not much happening on the work side of things. Actually it all comes down to putting them into my wheelchair for a few hours to understand the physics involved. It's not as easy as it looks eh, LOL. Hugs to Nannie J and you too old friend. Love ya both a lot !
Hey there Dean!! Having to access and use everything from a wheelchair sure makes for some inventive designing. Here's a story for ya. I sometimes have to take Janet to the hospital in Truro. This is just a new hospital, only built in the last 10 years or so. Well when I take Janet in there I get a wheelchair for her. So this is a 'new' hospital and you would not believe how terrible it is to get around in there if you have a wheel chair. The chair is probably 36" wide and most doors there are only about 38" if that. All the door jams are marked and smashed from chairs running into them. Half the auto door openers have the door swing into you when you push the 'open' button!! Duh. And the washrooms, well now there is another story. Even the 'wheelchair accessible' ones are terrible. You wheel into them and close the door, then they are so small you can't turn the chair around and get out of it without being a contortionist. And the biggest gaff of all is in the parking lot. In the handicap parking there are 6 inch high curbs every where. In order to get the wheel chair over the curb, it needs to have 4 wheel drive!! OK that's enough ranting. Glad to hear you're getting your washroom refit Dean. I hope it all works out good for ya buddy!! Take 'er easy!!!
@@GrampiesWorkshop We (they) discovered black mold aso it had to be chased down and repaired or a bath of "Kilz" , Great stuff but why is there wet insulation to track down and found a barely leaking tub tap. We put a tray under the drip and found a bit of water in the pan. That and over 30 + years was enough to soak down all the insulation. What a bear to deal with. The fellas did a great job of dealing with it. On Monday it will be dry enough to start getting the new insulation and flooring back together. Everybody gets rest tomorrow. We can't work all the time eh ?
@@TomokosEnterprize Wow, good that you found the leak and are having it addressed. That black mold is bad bad bad!!! One thing about the rock wool insulation, it doesn't hold water. I hope the repairs go quick and you can get back to 'normal' Dean!! LOL Take care!!
Another big step done. I can see the benefit of cutting down the bench. I find the bigger the bench I have, the more stuff I pile on it. Looking good Mike. Stevo
How's she goin'? That's a good point Stevo!! This bench has always been piled with 'stuff' and now I'll have 3 feet less space to pile that 'stuff' on so that's good!! LOL Thanks for looking at it like that. It makes me feel better about cutting it down!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? So nice to have you drop by the channel and chime in!! I appreciate your time. This retro fit of my shop is a big project for sure. But taking it one step at a time and it's getting closer to being finished each day!! LOL I hope you can drop back for more videos and take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? You're right Dave. I think the actual reno work on the shop is not that big a job, but moving everything every time I need to move something is sure eating up the time. Thanks for the comment. I hope you and Lydia re enjoying the nice fall days!! Take 'er easy!!
I think everyone hates recip saws 🙂 It is always hard to make the right decision with regard to work and storage spaces. You did a great job of moving everything by yourself and it looks great
How's she goin'? I'm glad to hear you are in the 'hate recip saws' camp too Joseph!! LOL It was a hard go to get the bench in place but the more I look at it the more I'm liking that I cut the end off it!! LOL Take care!!
How's she goin'? Thanks Russell!! I have to say I'm liking the computer in the corner. And the bench being shorter, well I coming to terms with that too!! LOL Thanks for watching. Have a great weekend!!!
Looks great, Grampie. You should round off that corner of the bench by your desk, so you don't bump into that sharp edge. I can see it coming. Take care.
How's she goin'? Great idea about rounding off the corner. The top is not placed on the bench permanent yet. I have a lot of plans for the bench and the top will get secured last and I will round off the corner!! Many thanks for tuning in. Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? I wasn't too sure I wanted to do this Gator. But after I cut the bench and moved it up against the computer table it looked pretty food and I'm starting to warm up to it now!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Thanks Noel. I hope you folks have a great weekend too. Nice to get the rain today but now it can stop eh!! LOL I think I will get used to the computer there and the bench being shorter. I kind of like more and more each day!! Take 'er easy!!
I like it. You are moving right along. But if it wasn't for all those decisions a fellow could really get going . Oh well that's half the fun. The shop is going to be real nice your doing great. As always we are praying for you and Nannie and I'll see you on the next one.
How's she goin'? Many thanks for your continued prayers Ronnie!! It's nice to be putting things back together instead of taking things apart for a change!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Decisions, decisions, decisions. Looks like shortening your workbench to put your shop computer in place is a good decision. I'm sure you will find someplace to incorporate the 3 foot section you cut off! Moving that bench was a job and a half and the winch couldn't help this time! Glad you didn't hurt yourself moving it! Starting to look more like your workshop with each step!
Have no fear of me hurting myself from working too hard. That just won't happen!! LOL But it was a struggle to get the bench back in place. But even more of a struggle to finally decide to cut the end off the bench!! LOL Love ya!!
Wow Nannie J. Did you ever figure he is actuallu making this happen today ? I ambursting to the roof over here in anticipation, eh my dear friend ! WOOHOO.
How's she goin'? Thanks Brain. I have a big job planned for the bench! But it's also a big job trying to move this and that so I can get at that and this!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Thanks Nev. I have to admit, I'm looking forward to getting the shop back together so I can start some of the winter prep work!! LOL The snow isn't that far away I'm afraid!! Take 'er easy and have a great weekend!!
How's she goin'? You know what Doug? I'm liking the computer table in the corner, but I'm still a little on the edge looking over about cutting the end off the bench! LOL Take 'er easy!!
MIKE ! ! ! Oh how I have been waiting for this 18 minutes and a bit post of yours this special day, WOOHOO ! ! ! Things are finding their possible home forever home. When I kept moving I had my Mary take on the placement of everything in the house/home. I tried it just once. and it took her twice as long as it should have taken. A similar thing if she so much as look at any of my extensive amount of tools etc. Long story short, Don't mess around where you don't belong, LOLOLOL. I can see your shop will continue to get itself organised. You are the type of fella where everything will find everything a forever a home where it is most needed and useful. Bit by bit after lots of thought EVERYTHINH will get to where it belongs and by the way, , , , , , THE SHOP IS LOOKIN GREAT OLE SON. !
How's she goin'? Thanks Dean!! Man I'll tell ya what? I had a lot of mental battles with myself on whether or not to cut the bench down. One minute I'd be all for it then before I could get my hand on the saw, I'd change my mind. I think putting the cubbie above the computer table was what finally made me decide to do it. And now that it's done, I like it. I don't think I'll miss the 3 feet of bench I lost. Plus, the space where the computer used to be will be available now for more tools!! LOL Thanks for the nice comments Dean. Take 'er easy!!
@@GrampiesWorkshop You have years of acmulated things to find homes for. The trick is to only move them once. There are always dust colectors that get use now and then. Finding that perfect spot for all that dust is the big trick eh. Yer lookin good bud.
@@TomokosEnterprize Dean I already have moved just about everything in the shop about 3 times as I was playing 'shuffle the junk' trying to get room to make these changes. It's getting better though. Just think how nice it'll be when I'm finished setting up the shop!! Yeah, like that will ever happen!! This is like a government job, it just keeps on taking way longer than it should and going over budget!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
"To start with...I guess..." How many times have I said that over the years both in class and at home! LOL You're not just putting back, you're making yourself a whole new project! Oh my... lol Now you have a 3-foot island, put some wheels on that thing and take it anywhere in the shop you need a little extra work space...perfect!! I can hear my back screaming at me already with moving that bench! Ouch!! Indeed, I've got myself a great persuader too! lol All's looking great! Now's time to relax and enjoy the weekend...I hear that Sunday is suppose to be a nice one!
How's she goin'? Ha Ha Ha!! I start a lot of projects with that line, "To start with ... I guess."!! LOL I never thought of putting wheels on the end of the bench. That's an neat idea Bruce! I'll have to check that out. I hope it's nice on Sunday. The boys are coming out to the camp as my son Chris bought us 250 black spruce seedlings and we're going to have an 'arbor' day!! LOL Looking forward to that. And then in just 40 years we'll have out woods back!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
@@GrampiesWorkshop Marvelous!! Each year while teaching, my class would celebrate Arbor Day. Always wonder where that day went as I remember as a kid we'd have it all the time.
How's she goin'? That's a good idea Steve!! I was thinking of something like that but it would only create an 'end' on the bench and that would turn into a great spot to pile stuff!! I'd like to try and keep the end of the bench clear I could, but we'll see. Putting up a divider is still not out of the equation just yet!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? thanks so much for dropping by and leaving a comment. The workshop is a big project and it'll be nice when finished. But I'm not too sure if it will ever be finished though!! LOL Have a great week and thanks again for your visit to the channel. Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Thanks Greg!! This was a hard job to get the bench back in place and deciding to cut the bench down was hard on the old noodle too!! Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Thanks Tom. The more I see this set up the more I'm liking it too. I think cutting the bench was a good move!! I hope you folks have a good weekend too Tom. Take 'er easy!!
Bonjour Mon Ami 😇👍🌞Vous êtes un excellent menuisier mon ami 🧐👍Planning is everything and you are pretty good at it Sir 👍🧐😇Strong man that you are 👌🧐👍💪Great equalizer tool 🧐💪 1/8 of inch at that distance is truly OUTSTANDING 🧐👍You will love your garage man cave during winter time Sir and be well mon ami Cheers 🍻🍻
Comment ca va mon ami? Merci Dave!! I was really not too sure if I wanted to cut the bench down but it worked out OK for me I think. And I was totally amazed that the bench was only out 1/8 of an inch!! That is a miracle for sure!! Dave I want to thank you for all your support of my channel and for always watching my videos and leaving such nice comments. I wish I could respond more in French, but, although your English is improving by leaps and bounds, my French is not. I need to fix that because I would love to be more fluent in French!! A la prochaine!!
How's she goin'? I eat wheaties ever morning!! LOL I wish I had half the energy as my grand kids though! LOL Man they are like the energizer bunny!! Take 'er easy!!
Well Mike it looks like you're on the downhill part of this project. Cutting that bench must have taken a bit of courage. But I think it was a good choice. It looks great buddy.
How's she goin'? John I posed over this decision to cut the bench for a long time. But I agree, I think it's a good decision! Lots of work going to be needed to get everything squared away again, but at least I'm starting to put things back together and not taking them apart anymore!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
A lot of moving Mike but she's looking good 👍, Yes some times you just need the bigger hammer lol, We aloud to change our mind if we want 🤔, That seems like everyday for me :) Take care my friend
How's she goin'? Thanks Don. Yes sir, when all else fails, get out the bigger hammer!! LOL Man I struggled with cutting my bench, but now that it's done, I'm glad I did it. I like this set up!! Thanks for watching. Take 'er easy!!
Don't Wrestle with ideas and concepts and plans! That'll wear you out before the day is started! (and you'll need that energy to shampoo, dry and brush the squirrels later🐿). The scaffold clutter when you began looks just like my workshop everyday--why change a good thing? I love that little cubby shelf in the corner. Man, I could have that crammed full in no time! Don't waste Hair Grease on screws....squirrel grease is better (and you'll have it on the towel after you bathe and dry them). You said the bench will slide back "Uptight" against the wall. I don't think it will be stressed at all and it will instead be quite happy there. Good idea to slide the big, heavy drawer onto the table saw with 2 by 4s. (They sell a fine hernia strap on Amazon for the after effects). All in all a great project and an entertaining video. Keep 'em coming, Mike.
How's she goin"? When a guy works alone he can come up with some interesting 'work arounds' to get things done eh!! You know what I'm talking about for sure!!! BTW I tried 'squirrel grease' and it doesn't work. I tell ya squirrels are no good for anything!! LOL I sure did struggle with cutting the bench down. But now that it's done, I like it. I don't think I'll miss the 3 feet I chopped off the end!! LOL Thanks for the comments Craig. Take 'er easy!!
@@GrampiesWorkshop I saw you agonizing about cutting three feet off the bench. That must have been tough on you, trying to decide. Well, I have very good news for you!! I used a special measuring tool that I hook up to my computer, and taking into consideration time, distance and relative humidity (to name a few parameters) I have concluded that you didn't cut 3 feet off the work bench...It was only 2 feet 11 and 15/16 inches! So you can go to bed and rest easy tonight--no worries!
Well hello Mr. HOLLWOOD... I HEAR THEY HAVE THEIR EYES ON YOU CAUSE OF THE GREAT videos you put out ...i kinda heard that somewhere or at least something like that! Haha! That looks like a really big work bench you have. It looks a lot bigger now that you put it on the wall. I guess now you will make drawers & doors to cover the bottom in. It is very fancy looking now. I like ypur orange shirt & that besides blue are your colors. You have to dress nice now in your new shop.ok i didn't comment on the videos i watched on TV...just watched thia one on my phone & now i am real tired so i thunk it's bedtime. We will talk to you Tuesday. Love you😂
Wow, Mr. Hollywood!! I'll need to get some dark glasses maybe!! LOL I like the way I cut down the bench and put the computer on the end. And yes, I am planning on putting drawers in the bench. There will be 16 in all. I'll need to buy some new tools, but don't tell Janet!! LOL Love ya!!
While watching I am saying to myself Please change your mind,and don't cut the bench, but after the fact it looks really great like that. Now are you going to repair the section you cut off and find a place for it for as a flat top storage cabinet? Thanks for sharing this video Mike
How's she goin'? Jack if you had been in the shop that day you could have talked me out of cutting the bench pretty easy!! I fussed over that decision for a long time, but now that it's cut, I like it. I think it'll be good once I get things squared away!! Thanks for the comment. Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Sorry about that Garry!! This was a long video but the original was almost 32 minutes long. So a lot of the interconnecting parts were cut out to try and get it cut down to a watchable length. Even at that, 18 minutes is a long time to watch a video I think. Glad you dropped by though! Take care!!
@@GrampiesWorkshop I was kidding of course! It’s always great to stop by and watch. I never get lost watching you…..Everything is always well explained!
We like your new plans better!! Now you just need to smile and make it happen 😳❣️. You two stay healthy, happy and safe! We love you🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Great to see everything is going back together well. Those insulated walls will be really great this winter
How's she goin'? Thansk Lloyd! It'll be nice to be able to go out to the shop and take your jacket off instead of zipping it up!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Lots of work getting that bench back in place. A major overhaul and reorganization every once in a while makes the work space more pleasurable to be in. Keep up the good work Mike!

One minute I'd be all for it then before I could get my hand on the saw, I'd change my mind. I think putting the cubbie above the computer table was what finally made me decide to do it. And now that it's done, I like it. I don't think I'll miss the 3 feet of bench I lost. Plus, the space where the computer used to be will be available now for more tools!! LOL Thanks for the nice comments Dean. Take 'er easy!!
@@GrampiesWorkshop You have years of acmulated things to find homes for. The trick is to only move them once. There are always dust colectors that get use now and then. Finding that perfect spot for all that dust is the big trick eh. Yer lookin good bud.
@@TomokosEnterprize Dean I already have moved just about everything in the shop about 3 times as I was playing 'shuffle the junk' trying to get room to make these changes. It's getting better though. Just think how nice it'll be when I'm finished setting up the shop!! Yeah, like that will ever happen!! This is like a government job, it just keeps on taking way longer than it should and going over budget!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
"To start with...I guess..." How many times have I said that over the years both in class and at home! LOL You're not just putting back, you're making yourself a whole new project! Oh my... lol Now you have a 3-foot island, put some wheels on that thing and take it anywhere in the shop you need a little extra work space...perfect!! I can hear my back screaming at me already with moving that bench! Ouch!! Indeed, I've got myself a great persuader too! lol All's looking great! Now's time to relax and enjoy the weekend...I hear that Sunday is suppose to be a nice one!
How's she goin'? Ha Ha Ha!! I start a lot of projects with that line, "To start with ... I guess."!! LOL I never thought of putting wheels on the end of the bench. That's an neat idea Bruce! I'll have to check that out. I hope it's nice on Sunday. The boys are coming out to the camp as my son Chris bought us 250 black spruce seedlings and we're going to have an 'arbor' day!! LOL Looking forward to that. And then in just 40 years we'll have out woods back!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
@@GrampiesWorkshop Marvelous!! Each year while teaching, my class would celebrate Arbor Day. Always wonder where that day went as I remember as a kid we'd have it all the time.
@@wendingourway I bet kids don't even know what Arbor Day is now eh!!
I was so excited from the last video, I just couldn’t wait for this one. 🤭🤭
Hello there Noel!! Ha ha ha!! Slow down buddy!! Take a breath and thanks for tuning in!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
🤭🤭🤭🤭👍🏻👍🏻👋👋
Very well done Mike
How's she goin'? Thanks Bob. Lots of discissions to be made and they are hard on the head! LOL Take 'er easy!!
looking great
It looks pretty good now but wait till I get it all reorganized and set up. It'll be epic!! LOL Love ya!!!
Great progress Mike,,, maybe a divider between the computer and bench will help with the dust?
How's she goin'? That's a good idea Steve!! I was thinking of something like that but it would only create an 'end' on the bench and that would turn into a great spot to pile stuff!! I'd like to try and keep the end of the bench clear I could, but we'll see. Putting up a divider is still not out of the equation just yet!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Good evening Grampie !
How's she goin'? Great to have you drop by Gary!! Take 'er easy!!
Like 48 from Mr. Garry! Hi Mike and putting stuff back is a great step!
How's she goin'? Thanks Garry and yes getting things put back and re-organized a bit is a nice thing to be doing!! Take 'er easy!!
Wishing you all the best for your workshop channel's success! Your content is amazing! I hope you have a wonderful month of October~
How's she goin'? thanks so much for dropping by and leaving a comment. The workshop is a big project and it'll be nice when finished. But I'm not too sure if it will ever be finished though!! LOL Have a great week and thanks again for your visit to the channel. Take 'er easy!!
Great job ,lots of great ideas will try to incorporate some in mine. Say hi to Nanny for us!
How's she goin'? Thanks Greg!! This was a hard job to get the bench back in place and deciding to cut the bench down was hard on the old noodle too!! Take 'er easy!!
Looks great buddy good decision you and nanny have a great weekend take care
How's she goin'? Thanks Tom. The more I see this set up the more I'm liking it too. I think cutting the bench was a good move!! I hope you folks have a good weekend too Tom. Take 'er easy!!
Bonjour Mon Ami 😇👍🌞Vous êtes un excellent menuisier mon ami 🧐👍Planning is everything and you are pretty good at it Sir 👍🧐😇Strong man that you are 👌🧐👍💪Great equalizer tool 🧐💪 1/8 of inch at that distance is truly OUTSTANDING 🧐👍You will love your garage man cave during winter time Sir and be well mon ami Cheers 🍻🍻
Comment ca va mon ami? Merci Dave!! I was really not too sure if I wanted to cut the bench down but it worked out OK for me I think. And I was totally amazed that the bench was only out 1/8 of an inch!! That is a miracle for sure!! Dave I want to thank you for all your support of my channel and for always watching my videos and leaving such nice comments. I wish I could respond more in French, but, although your English is improving by leaps and bounds, my French is not. I need to fix that because I would love to be more fluent in French!! A la prochaine!!
Good job bud looking good .
How's she goin'? Thanks Harley. Man I struggled with cutting the bench down but I think it'll be better like this. Take 'er easy!!
Looking good Mike. I don't know where you get all the energy from
How's she goin'? I eat wheaties ever morning!! LOL I wish I had half the energy as my grand kids though! LOL Man they are like the energizer bunny!! Take 'er easy!!
Well Mike it looks like you're on the downhill part of this project. Cutting that bench must have taken a bit of courage. But I think it was a good choice. It looks great buddy.
How's she goin'? John I posed over this decision to cut the bench for a long time. But I agree, I think it's a good decision! Lots of work going to be needed to get everything squared away again, but at least I'm starting to put things back together and not taking them apart anymore!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
A lot of moving Mike but she's looking good 👍, Yes some times you just need the bigger hammer lol, We aloud to change our mind if we want 🤔, That seems like everyday for me :) Take care my friend
How's she goin'? Thanks Don. Yes sir, when all else fails, get out the bigger hammer!! LOL Man I struggled with cutting my bench, but now that it's done, I'm glad I did it. I like this set up!! Thanks for watching. Take 'er easy!!
Don't Wrestle with ideas and concepts and plans! That'll wear you out before the day is started! (and you'll need that energy to shampoo, dry and brush the squirrels later🐿). The scaffold clutter when you began looks just like my workshop everyday--why change a good thing? I love that little cubby shelf in the corner. Man, I could have that crammed full in no time! Don't waste Hair Grease on screws....squirrel grease is better (and you'll have it on the towel after you bathe and dry them). You said the bench will slide back "Uptight" against the wall. I don't think it will be stressed at all and it will instead be quite happy there. Good idea to slide the big, heavy drawer onto the table saw with 2 by 4s. (They sell a fine hernia strap on Amazon for the after effects). All in all a great project and an entertaining video. Keep 'em coming, Mike.
How's she goin"? When a guy works alone he can come up with some interesting 'work arounds' to get things done eh!! You know what I'm talking about for sure!!!
BTW I tried 'squirrel grease' and it doesn't work. I tell ya squirrels are no good for anything!! LOL I sure did struggle with cutting the bench down. But now that it's done, I like it. I don't think I'll miss the 3 feet I chopped off the end!! LOL Thanks for the comments Craig. Take 'er easy!!
@@GrampiesWorkshop I saw you agonizing about cutting three feet off the bench. That must have been tough on you, trying to decide. Well, I have very good news for you!! I used a special measuring tool that I hook up to my computer, and taking into consideration time, distance and relative humidity (to name a few parameters) I have concluded that you didn't cut 3 feet off the work bench...It was only 2 feet 11 and 15/16 inches! So you can go to bed and rest easy tonight--no worries!
@@EverydayProjects I like this Craig. You see the glass half full and I admire that in you!! No more uneasy sleeps for me.
Well hello Mr. HOLLWOOD... I HEAR THEY HAVE THEIR EYES ON YOU CAUSE OF THE GREAT videos you put out ...i kinda heard that somewhere or at least something like that! Haha! That looks like a really big work bench you have. It looks a lot bigger now that you put it on the wall. I guess now you will make drawers & doors to cover the bottom in. It is very fancy looking now. I like ypur orange shirt & that besides blue are your colors. You have to dress nice now in your new shop.ok i didn't comment on the videos i watched on TV...just watched thia one on my phone & now i am real tired so i thunk it's bedtime. We will talk to you Tuesday. Love you😂
Wow, Mr. Hollywood!! I'll need to get some dark glasses maybe!! LOL I like the way I cut down the bench and put the computer on the end. And yes, I am planning on putting drawers in the bench. There will be 16 in all. I'll need to buy some new tools, but don't tell Janet!! LOL Love ya!!
While watching I am saying to myself Please change your mind,and don't cut the bench, but after the fact it looks really great like that. Now are you going to repair the section you cut off and find a place for it for as a flat top storage cabinet? Thanks for sharing this video Mike
How's she goin'? Jack if you had been in the shop that day you could have talked me out of cutting the bench pretty easy!! I fussed over that decision for a long time, but now that it's cut, I like it. I think it'll be good once I get things squared away!! Thanks for the comment. Take 'er easy!!
@@GrampiesWorkshop your welcome Mike
You lost me after you said, “here’s what I’m thinking about doing!”…..lol
How's she goin'? Sorry about that Garry!! This was a long video but the original was almost 32 minutes long. So a lot of the interconnecting parts were cut out to try and get it cut down to a watchable length. Even at that, 18 minutes is a long time to watch a video I think. Glad you dropped by though! Take care!!
@@GrampiesWorkshop I was kidding of course! It’s always great to stop by and watch. I never get lost watching you…..Everything is always well explained!
