What would be good is if you template the benches dog holes into the corresponding space on the underside of the new legs. Then you could the use some short dogs to secure say just the front and cut down on clamps fouling a larger work piece. if that makes sense?
Are those dogs and dog holes 20mm? Are they on the 96mm spacing? Are the holes and spacing the same as your outfeed/assembly table? All of that would be useful info. If the feet extended it would limit your ability to clamp fixtures vertically. And the feet have dog holes, convenient if they match the hole pattern in your table.
I got mine today, mainly thanks to your video. So thanks for that! I'm gonna use it for carving and small tasks around the house. Just assembled it and love it already, such a versatile little thing....also got the accessories kit (corkplates for the vise jaws, anvil and hold fast clamp) Did you oil the bench?
3:21 Are those holes in the legs/feet of it the side of dog holes? Also, it looks like their spacing is the same as your outfeed tables dog holes so you might be able to keep it from sliding around in the table that way?
I tried doing that and I should’ve showed it in the video, but let me tell you that it didn’t work out. I wish I could explain it better in text but it didn’t firmly hold the table in place. I’d rather make new legs and have them be a bit wider to clamp with my track clamps instead
Definitely will keep that sort of content over there!! But thank you! Probably going to be a lot of simple videos similar to this where I can go in to detail and just talk openly about tools, my shop, or projects I’m working on. Nothing fancy, just basic woodworking content that I’d like to share!
Just picked up a used one online and love it so far. Great for people in the city who don’t have room for a full workshop. I might have to use your leg extension idea!
Personally I could not justify that cost. I have dog holes in my work bench and a vice on the end that accomplishes the same thing. I suppose portability would be nice.
That’s great that you have a vise on the other end! Having the vise on this thing is what I liked the most, and was my biggest reason for to add it to my shop.
Great video, I have a similar set up but went with the tso lock dogs, and added a quick release vise to the table. Ron Paulk has a demo video explaining it from a few years ago. It’s nice because like that vice you can remove it when you don’t want it, but it’s also flush with the bench top so you can use the entire bench’s dog holes. Just a though, nice job on the video
This is a neat little bench, I have considered making Tamar’s portable version for the same reason! Great review and looking forward to see how you adjust it to make it even better.
I considered it too, but it was just a time thing for me. With 3 kids, shop time is super limited so picking this up was a no-brainer for me. Once i fix that issue with the feet I’ll be very happy with this mini workbench!
@@mowderwoodworkBecause I have far more time than money, I built Tamar’s version and absolutely love it! Comparing the two is difficult because there’s quite a size difference! The one I built is relatively heavy, but the Sjoberg (??) is comparatively light. That being said, if I ever ran into a good deal on one, I’d probably get it! Thanks for a great review!
Did you consider building your own version of a small workbench or moxon vise? I was really just curious since you were looking to modify this one. I know I always say I’ll make my own thing to suit my needs, but I usually just end up buying what is already out there and deal with the limitations.
I did consider building my own but I just kept kicking the can down the road and honestly just didn’t have enough time to make one. I really like Tamar’s design from 3x3. If I ever built one it would definitely be that one. But I feel like this was a fair price for what time it saved me from building it!

Nice to see you on the RUclipss! Looking forward to more long form content (please keep the shorts over on IG, lol) :D

Awesome review, hope you do another video on how you re-design that bottom. I’m limited with my space in my garage so this is very useful.
how do you get the plans?
Thanks for showing us this bench. I like the tip about the updated legs.

Thx Jay, an honest productreview with useful information to enhance its versatility👍

Thank you!! Going to be putting out a lot more videos here soon!! I appreciate your support, thanks so much
