As usual with this kind of video - the idea and design look brilliant, but just look at the amount of sophisticated and expensive tools used to make it! If you can afford the equipment needed you don’t need to make the cheap bench!
Thanks for watching my video. I agree with you. I could afford to have a few power tools, but I'm not able to afford a workbench made of expensive hardwood yet. I want to make a fancy workbench with hardwood someday.
"look at the amount of sophisticated and expensive tools used to make it!” A job site tablesaw, a palm router and a sander? Come on guy, these are not “sophisticated and expensive” tools. If you don’t have them, you can buy pre-dimensioned wood and sand by hand, including rounding over the edges. I would guess 99% of hobbyist woodworkers have at least two of those tools anyway. Thanks for uploading this cheap and simple project Bongbong - I’ll be building this next week for my wife’s hobby shop - it’s ideal for what she needs . . . and then some!
An upgrade would probably be where the metal screws sticking out the side of the bench could be redesigned to be hidden within the bench itself. I have similar problems with my clamps holding my work to my bench where I am constantly banging myself against the metal sticky-out-bits of the clamps. When I saw this design I instantly thought how it could be vastly improved.
I experienced the same problem after building this bench. The problem isn't critical for my personal use, but I have an idea to improve it that might be helpful for others as well. Thanks for the comment.
Excellent. Simple. Effective. Cheap. Thank you for taking so much trouble to teach this.
Thank you!
Nice build with simple tools except the excess threaded rod should be inside the table.
Yes, I should have bought a shorter rod. Thanks for watching.

@@quirkygreece I appreciate your comment. Hope this video helps for your wife. Thanks!
Nice and well done. 🙂👍🏻
Thank you!
Can I ask why cut down wood widths just to glue them back together. Is it so you alternate the grain direction to stop bowing?
Yes, you’re right. I alternated the grain direction and oriented the edge grain toward the tabletop.
Great stuff - you have a new subscriber.
Thank you!

Excelente trabalho, parabéns 👍🏻
Thank you!
Do you have pdf plans?
I don’t have. I made it without plans.
