Nice work I didn,t realize there are 2 layers to the top of a work bench. I learn something new every time i watch one of your videos. I really enjoy them alot..Love and prayers to you and Janet
How's she goin'? Thanks Cathy! Not all benches have 2 layers. I made the 2 layers to have a good strong top so I can hammer on it and it'll be solid!! LOL Lots of love and prayers to you too. Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Thanks Dave. This top is good and solid and doesn't sound 'hollow' when you hammer on it!! And now the bench has a good top and drawers!! How sweet is that eh!! LOL Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate your time as I know you're busy this time of year. Take 'er easy!!
Bonsoir Mon Ami, You must feel the difference inside your shop since it is insolated now 👍👍🧐Insulating My Basement Did Improve It for sure 🧐👍👌Keep Up Your OUTSTANDING Wood Work Bench Videos Mon Ami Cheers 👍🧐🍻
Comment ca va mon ami? The shop is a lot warmer Dave. The other day it was -3 out and I had the heat pump set at 12 and the temp in the shop was about 13. I was working in short sleeves!! I love it!! A la prochaine!!!
How's she goin'? So nice of you to watch and leave a comment. Thanks!! I have been dreaming of making changes to this bench for a long time, Now it's happening and I can't wait to get to where I can actually make a project on the bench rather than have the bench be the project! LOL Take 'er easy and come back often!!
Awesome G《☆》Nice Work Brother👍🏾🍺🤳It was like having X-ray vision looking in the drawers with the Top off eh😁It's hard to get everything Square since we live on a Round Planet but that looks good & Solid enough with 2 layers✌🏼😎☯️
Hello there Bdog!! Ha Ha Ha!! That's a good way of looking at it, hard to get things square since we live on a round planet!! LOL Thanks for the chuckle and for watching. Have a great week!!
Nice job on that bench top. I am really enjoying all of the shop upgrades. I hope everyone is well and I will keep sending prayers for you and Nannie and I'll see you on the next one
Good day eh! Your prayers are powerful Ronnie and much appreciated!! Nannie and I are doing pretty good and getting used to the colder weather! I'm glad you are enjoying the shop upgrades. There are a few more to come, but then I hope to get back to 'regular' stuff!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Good day eh! That's a fact eh Steve. It seems though, even when I measure twice and cut once, I still can make some booboos! I think it's my super power!! LOL I hope you have a great Halloween and take 'er easy!!
1 1/2 inch counter top is nice and strong! Especially when made with Medium D and High D board. The bench behind you at the 8:50 mark, looks like my workshop everyday! I'm so glad you decided to insulate the shop and put in the heat pump! It has motivated you to rebuild just about everything and projects are good. Great to wake up in the morning with things to keep a guy busy. Quite frankly, with all the squirrel shampoos and grooming I don't know how you've found the time..but I'm glad you did!
How's she goin'? Well Craig I have to admit, I haven't shampooed the squirrels in over 20 years so I don't think they miss it!! But they better be good and clean before they set foot in the shop now baby!! That bench under the window is the next one I'm going to tackle. Hopefully this winter. So there's a heads up for ya. Just sayin'!! LOL
Hello there Mike. Your prayers are so important to Nannie and I. Thanks for remembering us!! Getting the top back on the bench is a big step in getting the shop back together!! Take 'er easy!!
Hello there Wayne!! Thanks!! I have been waiting a long time to redo this bench and so I'm trying to get everything set up as best as I can. I have to say, I really like all the changes so far! LOL Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Thanks Joseph. I only wish I could drive screws that quick!! I could get a lot more work done in a day I know that!! LOL Take 'er easy!
How's she goin'? Thanks Tom!! That mis-cut on the 1st layer had me worried as I knew I was going to have to cut the top layer too and if I messed that up it would have been a mortal sin! LOL Take 'er easy!!
@ Bless me Father for I have sinned. My last confession was 2 weeks ago. I accuse myself of mis-cutting a bench top. I also cursed enough to embarrass a Marine after doing so.
How's she goin' Thanks Bruce. I'm glad you like the bench changes because I sure do!! Cutting the end off the bench had me worried, but now I think it was a good move. Take 'er easy!!
While you're at it do some drawer organizing like you did for your pencils and pens which was really neat. I enjoy that sort of simple stuff. Take care, Grampie.
How's she goin'? Ha Ha Ha!! Thanks a lot. I'm glad you enjoy those little 'adds' that make an ordinary thing into something a little more special!! Don't worry, I plan on organizing the drawers down the road!! LOL Take 'er easy!
How's she goin'? Thanks. I liked my bench before but now, after all these upgrades, I like it even more!! I appreciate you watching and commenting. Take 'er easy!!
Good evening Mike, real nice job on the bench top. Your attention to detail 👍 is going to make for a top notch workshop. I am guessing a short sleeve shirt means the workshop is warm and cozy. Very nice. Hope you and Nannie have a great week, Ben 👋😎👍
How's she goin"? Thanks Ben. I have been waiting a long time to redo this bench so I'm trying to get everything set up and done well. And yes sir the shop is really nice with the insulation and heat pump!! I wear a jacket to the shop and once in there I take it off!! I've never done that before!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
You’re a master carpenter Mike. I was thinking, stop lookin at it and put the screws to it. 🤭🤭🤭. Great job. 1.5” thick will be some solid. Just what you want. Father all ways said, it’s gotta be solid to work on it. Hope you and Nannie have a great week. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋
Those drawers are certainly a space maker for sure........heavy duty.......awesome........fit as you go is the best as you showed there........all my jobs go like that also..........there's a saying for when it's done......."they'll never know".............we are always all too critical of our own work.......no one is checking my work I don't know about yours Mike......LOL..........all look amazing buddy.......
How's she goin'? Right on Bryan. We are certainly more critical of our own work, but I figure if I do as good a job as possible, then all the mistakes will be even harder to spot! LOL I do like how the bench is turning out though. A good move I think. Take 'er easy and thanks for watching!!
Hello there Dave!! Thanks!! The 2 layers makes for a good solid bench top and I'm glad to get it back on the bench!! Thanks for commenting. Have a great week!!
How's she goin'? Thanks for watching Del. I appreciate your time. The bench is coming along. I think it'll be a good reno when done eh! Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Thanks Marc! I cut 3 feet off the bench and to be honest, I was kind of worried about how I would like it, but now that it's gone I think the bench is better than ever!! I am fortunate to have a dedicated shop big enough to have a bench like this! Take 'er easy!!
Looking good. My standard now is to double up some MDF for a top, stable and straight. A true craftsman can make a crooked cut to make things straight. Good job Mike. Stevo
Hello there Stevo! I like the 2 layers too. The ranger board top surface, I find, is really good to work off. It doesn't splinter or dent very easily either. I sure had to do some fitting with crooked cuts on this bench top!! LOL Thanks for the visit Stevo and take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Thank you Jack!! It was a bit of a challenge to get it all to fit half decent, but it turned out nice. Thanks for watching. Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Right on Don!! The bench top is pretty nice and I'm some glad to get the bench back in 'operating' condition! Thanks for watching. Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Thanks Kenny! A way back when I first built this bench, I'm thinking 1996 or so, I liked the plans because they had the 2 layered top to make it good and strong. It has proven to be a good thing over the years!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
Pretty precise cutting going on there...and look at the mighty screw gun go!! lol That bench will never again look so cleared off!! Let the projects begin!! Hope your week as been going well and won't be too spooky tomorrow evening!!
How's she goin'? Thanks Bruce. I like how the bench is turning out!! Oh, you didn't notice!! I had my costume on for this video!! Pretty scary eh!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Thanks Tom. It sure is a big change over what it used to be. I hope your Halloween isn't too scary!! LOL I appreciate you watching!! Take 'er easy!!
Thats some nice carpentry skills, Mike. them cabinets are going to be to nice, you wont be able to work on it for fear of making it dirty....Realy nice work....CHEERS
How's she goin'? Thanks Larry and thanks too for asking after Nannie. She is feeling a bit better, but still battling bad bowels and bladder issues. The bench is coming along now and with the top on it I can start to use it again!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Ha Ha Ha!! The Massey would be easy to work on if it were on the bench eh! Thanks for the visit Mark. I hope the snow stays away a little longer but I am looking forward to some snow!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Sorry the times got messed up!! I posted at my regular time of 5:30 PM but maybe it has to do with Daylight Savings time!! Not too sure if you have a thing like that in the UK. Our clocks fall back this weekend!! Thanks for watching. Take 'er easy!!
Hey Mike. Well bud, this is exactly how to get a nice, strong, resistant to dammage bench top. I do like to add a well aged hardwood edge/bull nose to help that HDF top from dings and opps moments. I had 4 year old birch available for mine and it has sood up well. I'm envious of all the different hardwoods available to you. I can get maple here but it is over $10 $ a foot 1x6 rough and a 10 sq ft min order, OUCH EH ? Will you be adding 2 sets of 3/4 inch holes for bench dog holes and a front and end wood faced vices ? A set across and along centered to both vices. Lee Valley has the best I have ever used. They come with hardware only. I have You should give this series to the local woodworking school if you have one. From A to Z you leave nothing out and it looks great too. They are incredibly strong. The screw handle boss has withstood a 6 ft snipe with all my weight on the end. I was 200 lbs before the leg came off. Great post once again old friend. Take care eh ole friend !
How's she goin'? Thansk Dean!! You're giving me way to much credit buddy!! Since I use this bench for far more than just wood working, I won't be putting any vise on it. I do have a little wood vise on the bench under the window and that does me for all I need. One time I was looking at Lee Valley vises, and quickly decided not to look too far because the prices were way above my pay grade. Some nice vises thoigh. If I were ever to be series about wood working, I would use Lee Valley as a source for tooling that's for sure. I do have some 1 X 6 rough cut maple. It came from some maple trees that were here by the camp and then Fiona blew them down. My son Derek milled up a couple of the logs for me and I have the wood in the lumber shed curing now. Maybe in a year or so I will have some really nice dry maple for a special project! Thanks for the comments old friend. God bless you and take 'er easy!!
@@GrampiesWorkshop Solid Maple cutting boards are a small fortune here.I made one that is 32 inches long by 14 inches deep. Just the right size for a full deer half. My knives loves it.
@@TomokosEnterprize Maple is a nice wood for sure. I like a wood with a bit more character/color than the maple but for hardness and ease to work with, you can't beat it with a spoon!!!
Hey there Bob!! You know I have thinking about trying something like that. I'm afraid it would be a looong video though!! LOL I'm still planning on reviewing one of your vids though. I'm sorry it's taking so long, but my free time is being consumed by trying to get the shop squared away before winter!! Take 'er easy!!
Why are you putting 2 tops on it? Looks pretty good so i can' t till you put the tops on your drawers. LOL i guess you better go get a belt or 2 for your sander. I must say that it really does look well done. I was typing so i couldn't hear the end of that video cause i am on my phone so it isn'tmulti😢talented.ok catch you Tuesday. Love ya
I figure if one top is good, 2 has to be better!! LOL Plus it makes the bench top good and solid so I can hammer on it without hurting it too much. The fronts will be going on the drawers soon, but there is way too much other stiff I need to get done before that happens. Love ya!!
How's she goin'? Sure thing. Please make sure your return address is on the envelop because I'll send you a sticker too! Check your RUclips e:mail, I'll send it there. Take 'er easy!!
How's she goin'? Ha Ha Ha! I remember when Norm called me up and asked me the best way to scribe a panel for an uneven wall!! That was some nice dream!! LOL Take 'er easy!!

How's she goin'? Sure thing. Please make sure your return address is on the envelop because I'll send you a sticker too! Check your RUclips e:mail, I'll send it there. Take 'er easy!!
I’ve seen Norm do that over a 1000 times with the compass. You’re a wood working natural? 🔨😎🪚, Cheers Mike
How's she goin'? Ha Ha Ha! I remember when Norm called me up and asked me the best way to scribe a panel for an uneven wall!! That was some nice dream!! LOL Take 'er easy!!
