    "I don't do anything fancy," he says, with the back drop of the reciprocal roof, earthbag walls, with cob and homemade lyme wash and bespoke hobbit door! You vastly under value your skill and abilities. I thoroughly enjoy all that you do and appreciate your 'will do' attitude. God bless you.

    Kris is not someone building a self sustained off grid home to keep himself safe when the collapse comes he is actually an artist and what you are witnessing is the creation of a work of art, art that has value beyond money.

    That bench looks fantastic Kris. The wide planks are astounding.
    You will certainly have a very functional woodshop eventually with all of your well thought out projects.
    Running the slide rails through the wall with a box planned for dust control is a great way to preserve space. Mitre saws are a very space consuming tool with the slide rails out behind.

    The one thing that I noticed watching the video was just how quiet the workshop is when the doors are closed, I couldn't hear a single noise from the outside world not even the birds!!!.
    I'm looking forward to seeing the top workshop added on as its darn awesome as it is , wishing I had stayed single and decided to take my life in a different direction each time I watch one of kris's video projects, jealousy starts to creep in!!!!.
    Looking damn good kris keep up the great work!👍👍👍

    Lovely bit of leg work there mate! I like the jointing of the bench top too and a good idea to keep the bench height the same, much more convenient when working with large material.
    Good to see you are not too worried about cutting holes in the wall for clearance....some armchair builders would be up in arms...and you can almost hear the keyboards rattling with comments about PPE right now lol....this is a Vlog, not a how to video!

No going to the lumber yard and pricing out legs costing $500 each or some ridiculous price. Kris just goes shop in his back yard and makes something beautiful out of that skinny old tree. I love how Kris does that.
