Making a Solid Oak Top Wooden Workbench

  • In this video I make a wooden workbench using 80mm thick oak boards that I got for free from a relative. They were sitting in a barn and had live edges on both sides so I had to use the chainsaw to straighten both sides of the board.
    The legs and the frame is made from construction lumber which I had at home that were left from when we were rebuilding the roof of the house.
    I didn't like the surface left from the power planer after applying the finish so I decided to hand plane the whole top again, also I put the boiled linseed on way too thick and it had trouble drying properly.
    I got a new camera which I use from 2:15. This was my first project with the new camera and I was still learning how to use and that is why some of the footage is out of focus.
    Hope you like it and please share, like, comment and subscribe for more videos.

    I've had the chance to use this table a couple of times now. It's fun to whip out in front of people:) I can see what people are talking about when they say the legs are delicate, but they're design to support a "mostly" vertical load, not be torqued from the side or pushed back into place. If you just let the table open or close on it's own and don't force anything, it works great ruclips.net/user/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh Once it's set up, it's pretty solid. My only gripe would probably be related to the clamps provided. They're not the highest quality. They do the job, so no big deal, but they could be better. All in all, pretty cool gadget.

    excellent work! This workbench will be around for generations to come! I agree that the builders info should be added to the bottom, in a few hundred years it will be nice to be remembered and let future generations know.

    First chain saw, then bow saw--funny! Gotta tell you, I had never seen forstner bits used in a hand drill before. Man, what an awesome project. Makes me wish I had been in on it.

    • @Garageworkshop
      @Garageworkshop  8 лет назад +1

      Thank you very much! We started with a chainsaw but we got actually a better result using a bow saw. Forstner bits work great in a hand drill.

    I've got the common tools but don't have the uncommon, energetic, enthusiastic youngster to do the "hard yakka". Started out pretty rough and ready; ended up very strong and nicely put together IMHO. Probably be able to hand it down to the grandkids eventually, so a brass plaque with all the constructor's details should be screwed underneath!

    That thing is a bit flimsy, don't you think? A bet it would snap in half if I jumped on it...and a fully loaded mac truck landed on it at the same time! Just kidding about flimsy. That thing is a beast! Nicely done.

    Of all wood working book I have read, this “pepe amazing plan” (Google it) is the perfect. My woodworking teacher recommends it to all of his scholars. I am surprised by the amount of detail the authors go into topics. I`m surprised by the material and didn`t have a hard time following the lessons.

    Great job and video!
    When I built my workbench, I needed some longer clamps too. But instead of the way you solved your clamp-problem, I adapted an idea by Klaus Kiefer to my needs:
    lumberjocks.com/projects/197890
    Give it a try. These extenders work really well and it's easier to apply even pressure than with your method.
