    Hey Sreten I'm a musician and you created some nice rhythm patterns with drilling and screwing. Very cool!

They are interesting (even not working on BMW I learn things), satisfying (like the vids of production or craft work that fullfill you with inner peace), and always funny at certain points. Very well done, I always enjoy watching them a lot!

    This is a pretty solid little workbench. While once you figure out how it comes together, it is physically Easy to assemble ruclips.net/user/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh by yourself. But the diagrams explaining the steps are really pretty bad. I could not get the handle pins in all the way despite multiple attempts, so I just used a screw I had on hand for the 2nd handle. I could not get the first pin in further or pull it back out. You are supposed to hammer it in, but I had no leverage and the handle is plastic and I did not want to risk breaking it. I will get a lot of use out of the bench because of the convenient size and height. It does fold up nicely for storage. They even explain how to fold it so you don't get pinched...that is important!

    Rewatching so many videos in 2024 and the hammering/bolt installation section always makes me chuckle :)

    @M539 Restorations Another idea of what you could add to the rack is some camera mounting spots, ballhead+magic arm. Would save you a bunch of time and space setting up the tripod and give you some extra angles.
    Can't wait for the next episode!

    Love seeing how people set up their work space, sometimes it shows me new ways to do things. Looking very good!
