Really, why don't you guys put the link to the plans in your description??? IF you mention something like a link in your video, it should go in the description.
I learned the hard way -to NOT- hang my chisels where I might reach underneath them for something. A chisel with a fresh edge can do some serious damage if you're not paying attention . Once you have the part or tool you were reaching for, you're already on to the next step as those swing chisels reach out and say hello
Your right CuttnStuff. I think they added the hanging chisels at the last minute and didn't think it out properly. In fact, it looks like a flimsy add-on. That being said, the mini workbench is a great ideal. I'm already building one.
A chisel with a fresh edge can do some serious damage. Funny, I was thinking the exact same thing while I was looking at the chisel sticking out of my hand. I was also thinking, how lucky it is to have bones so chisels don't go clean through.
ive lost 3 kids and a cat to those damn swinging chisels, and consequently the wife left me for my brother so i have nothing but spare time in my shop... win win
i got 8 stitches where my thumb meets my hand to prove it. I had my chisels hanging inside my tool chest(anarchists ). I raked my thumb across one getting to my planes at the bottom. wasn't paying attention. moved the chisels after i got back from urgent care center
Infinite possibilities ! It slices, it dices, great for those weekend family get togethers. You can cut pineapples on it and mount a steel pole for the strippers. Livens up any workshop party. But wait, because thats not all it does and if you act now our operators are standing by to take your annual subscription to fine woodworking for a limited time only. For the next 24 hours Free steak knives you can conveniently mount in the chisel holder (only while stocks last). Batteries not included.

@FineWoodworking thanks for the lesson. I don't see any link. You said the bench top is 8.25 inches thick, 9.5 wide and 42 long...but how tall/thick are the I-beam legs please? Please tell Steve Latta it's a good design.
trying to plane things up that high makes the muscles in between my shoulder blades hurt just looking at it. I might be nice for carving and things but I just sit down to do them.
@ben i know you see all the comments. This type of video with someone talking to camera explaining something just a short one would be great to revamp!
Depends somewhat on the diameter of the holdfast, diameter of the hole, and the hardness of the wood. An eight quarter (two inch thick) dense hardwood like this cherry, or maple or beech, will certainly grip a 5/8 rod in a 3/4 hole, or 1/2 in a 9/16, for example. Thicker would be better, yes. Keep in mind, though... the use of a holdfast is not about providing a crushing downward force, but rather about speed from ease of use.
You do know that isn't a fake room nor fake backdrop, right? The window has a decorative cling on it. It is the same kind used to make regular windows look like stained glass. It's probably privacy issues.
I don't like the positioning of the chisels. Looks like a slashed hand waiting to happen. The bench? Great idea for me with my spinal problems; which is why I made something similar some time ago. But not so long as this. It leads me to ponder on.
@@FineWoodworking I disagree, I believe woodworkers are extremely conservative people that always follow traditions, I watch videos of very tall woodworkers bowing like crazy working in stupidly low workbenches.
@@androidgameplays4every13 That's why they love the traditional Roman low bench to mount little vises to. Then they can bend over double or get on their knees to slowly work their stock with their miniature plane and chisel sets whose handles match their tiny inlaid exotic wood mallets.
Looks great, David! Just to let everyone know, you can purchase Moxon Vise Kits from WDS Components Ltd. We supply them with handwheels or ball handles - the choice is all yours!
You are planing in the wrong direction. You should plane into a bench dog and not put additional stress on the vise screw. Learned that when I was an apprentice.
Other people have already rightly pointed out the safety problem with having sharp edged tools hanging with their edges fully exposed. Another problem with the tool rack is that the tools project above the bench top and get in the way. That tool rack is bad news every way you look at it. The bench is so so. I hate round dogs. Square dogs are fitted into angled holes and pull the work piece tightly down to the bench top. This is a big deal, but it is almost never pointed out, even by "reputable" sources like Fine Woodworking.
deezynar the dogs aren't round. 1:09 the holes are round for the stem of the dog, but the dog itself is square, tapering out the way at the back edge. The dog in the quick release vice is rectangular. Some won't like the bench, it's an idea take it or leave it. Same with the hanging chisels.
Your reply makes it clear that you have never seen, or used, a square or rectangular dog in person. The hole is square, or rectangular, and the dog is also square or rectangular, and it fits snugley in the hole. The holes are not 90 degrees to the bench top, but are angled by about 2 degrees so the top of the dog is closer to the vice than the bottom. The dog has a face on it that is true vertical so it does not mar the workpiece. When pressure is applied to the workpiece by the vice, the workpiece pushes the dog backwards, and the angled hole causes the dog to move backwards and down, the workpiece is then pulled tightly down to the bench top. This is a big advantage, a huge advantage. Round holes are drilled plumb so the round dog can be rotated any direction. That is a feature that is only rarely useful, and can't pull the workpiece down tight with the bench top. As for the tool rack, tools on the bench get in the way. That's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of fact. Put a tool on the bench and it will inevitably get in the way and need to be moved. If you put it somewhere else on the bench, it's just a matter of time before it's in the way again. If you have a really big bench you can put tools at the far end, but that takes away any advantage there is in putting the tool down on the bench in the first place. The only way tools can be on the bench, and within arms reach, is if a woodworker never works on anything bigger than a chess piece. Build a tool rack on wheels that you can move so it's always near you.
deezynar Your reply makes it clear you're up your own arse to the point you can't see the obvious. There you are with 30 plus lines explaining all and sundry to one who's pointed out the blindly obviously, which you missed. Your comment stated "I hate round dogs". Now then Einstein let me repeat, THE DOGS ARE NOT ROUND. Have another look. Bye.
deezynar Yes you did waste your time because your comments are nonsense. The definition of a bench dog is something that protrudes above the bench top to hold work. Therefore whether the dog has a round peg below the bench, or is entirely square is immaterial. It is the part ABOVE the bench that is the dog. Your comment stated the dog, (part above the bench) was round. It wasn't. Your latest comment here states the shape of the head is not the important part, despite the fact that is the part that actually holds the work. But never mind that, look at the contradiction! You hate round dogs you say, but now claim it's unimportant if the head was round as the shape is unimportant! Bye.
Why wouldn't someone build their workbench to suit them ? To me that's basic common sense and if you lack that intuition to do such things. Then you probably shouldn't be doing such things !
It is in fact yet another gimmick project that gives guys a feature article they can sell to fine woodworking magazine and earn an easy $4000. Since you can only write so many feature articles on joint cutting per year, fine woodworking is always desperate for some fresh easy project to impress the hobby crowd. I have a better way when it comes to the many hours of detail work i do at the bench. I SIT DOWN on a stool. I know its a bit old school but every craftsman relishes the chances to take the weight off his feet after running a cut list all morning. The last thing i need is a heavy useless kiddy bench cluttering up my REAL work shop. And the chisels hanging from the end ? Asking for an injury with that dumb ass idea. The only smart idea is the angled vice block and the use of the legendary record vice.

Ah.. Link to the plans please. Great concept.
Why? Basic unit. Make it the dimensions and accessories that you want and to the kind of work you do.
Cool table. The same want to make yourself. Do you project it? Where can I see?
Very good idea.
look at this neat thing. exit through the gift shop.
great idea!
I would be interested in buying a set of plans right now if there was a link to those plans, why is there no link?
He said to go to the website and see them there. It's a tactic to get you to look around. Most stores use it.
Im thinking of building a bench like this. Do you think i could use a top with that thickness to use holdfasts?
Depends somewhat on the diameter of the holdfast, diameter of the hole, and the hardness of the wood. An eight quarter (two inch thick) dense hardwood like this cherry, or maple or beech, will certainly grip a 5/8 rod in a 3/4 hole, or 1/2 in a 9/16, for example. Thicker would be better, yes.

I don't know what it is but I keep staring at the fake window and the entire fake room is frustrating me.

Don't like the chisel holder, then don't incorporate it. Your allowed.
I played this video before. Now it wont play. I wonder why?
Why not just make your primary workbench at a height that doesn’t hurt to use?
For planing, and most bench work, a lower bench is usually preferred.
