      Hi John, Beautiful work bench. I am moving to Bracebridge in July but doubt that I will ever actually use a workbench.

    Can we all just take a sec to appreciate all the work it takes for John too even make a video like this. Just editing alone is astounding not even to mention the building and filming of it.
    Always enjoyed your videos John

      Don't forget with today's prices of wood, he's surrounded by millions of dollars. It's not like it grows on trees. 😕

    Not only is the build brilliant but this video really was a pleasure to look at. The lighting, focus, colour balance, depth of field, framing and sound were all spot on.

  • @AndreaArzensek

    The bench looks absolutely stunning!
    I'd never guess it was made with MDF and plywood in the middle. Great work there John!

  • @rafvdp6391
    @rafvdp6391 3 роки тому +1

    Best bench build ever on UA-cam, certainly if you consider that it's build with minimal tools and John designed it from A to Z with easy to find materials that doesn't cost you an arm and a leg. Congrats on this beautiful build John 👏👏. If there is a price ” best value for your money ” you win it! No competition.!

    Beautiful bench, John - nothing else like it on the planet! I love the use of laminated MDF for the top's core - that's gotta be one seriously dense surface! Creative genius on full display. Again. :)

    I'm not as far north as you, but this morning it's 38*f in my shop! Great video, as always. I've learned so much watching you and I'm still learning. I'm finally going to build myself a quality workbench that'll last. My current bench/outfeed table/assembly table was slapped together out of necessity and I'm not happy with it. Watching this video I realized this is the perfect bench for me and exactly the right size for my small shop. I bought the plans and will build this when it warms up a little! Thank you for all the great videos and information you provide us. Oh, I also joined Makers Mob.

  • @OllyParryJones
    @OllyParryJones 3 роки тому +4

    I love it, John. There's a lot of snobbery against the use of man-made sheets in a workbench. But this is so well thought and really looks the part. Thanks very much for sharing!

    My2¢: For those who don't have a tap on hand, Drill A hole through both the nut and bolt, drive a nail through and bend the tip (or use a proper retaining pin/split pin/cotter pin)
