After watching SO MANY RUclips videos of people who's skills VASTLY exceed my own, it is refreshing and entertaining to watch someone who I have a lot more in common with. You sir, are my workshop spirit animal. Thank You!
Your videos always put a smile on my face, it's like watching myself doing things wrong but with nicer tools and better explanations to why it didn't turn out nice!
It's really refreshing to see your approach to making stuff, even showing the things not going exactly to plan - normal day-to-day working that is true to life. Thank you.
Back in the day, 30 yrs+, I started making furniture with a jig saw a collection of hand tools in a spare 10X12 bedroom and absolutely no idea what I was doing. I've gotten better but this video makes me nostalgic. Thanks for the memories.
Third option for the bench: one becomes the seat, one becomes the legs, and one becomes the stretcher under the seat and between the legs. With a little firewood left over.
Robert: Honey? Yeah, can you come out to the shop? I'm trapped in some shelves I made... I appreciate you not asking why... or taking pictures. (also: am I the only one who felt REALLY anxious everytime he reached over the still spinning saw to knock off the extra pieces of wood? Because holy cow, please no.)
I cannot comprehend how long it takes to make those screwing montages, but it still remains one of the greatest and most satisfying part of watching these videoes. Right next to the multi-Dunn segments and punchy 1-liners
Love the Kreg jig. I don't call myself a woodworker by any stretch, but I built a table and bookshelf that I am very happy with thanks to pocket screws.
Glad I watched this; I was literally on the verge of doing the exact same thing as top #1 for my own work bench. It made perfect sense until I saw why it didn't!
Can be done as #1. Just glue in sections and use the right F style aluminum square body clamps. The latter will minimize his mistake since you can press the pieces on a flatish surface and make adjustments. Oh and at least double up on the amount or more of clamps. I used at least 7 to glue up a 4ft lamination of oak floor boards recently. Highly recommend cutting the grooves off as hardwood flooring is never cut even and you will have a huge bow. I had to pin my stressful 2ft glue up down with a piece of wood and the whole thing was still bowed like it was in the loony tunes cartoon. Instead of tossing that I just cut it in half and made them into low height saw horses for hard to handle material like my glue ups that need trimming!
Nothing wrong with pocket holes. Good way to hide screws while being easy to dismantle and reassemble. Even for nice projects, it's handy to completely build it, tear it down to sand, stain, and seal, and put it back together. Also makes it nice to refinish later.
my failures in the shop always puts me down and frustrated. watching you work is helping with that, thanks for sharing, specially the struggles. We can only learn from our mistakes
"So basically what I did was I got 6 very long 2x10s, did a bunch of work and ended up with 3 short ones". 🤣 This is becoming one of my favorite wood working channels. I can really identify with Robert.
@@fredericrike5974 Same with Lynyrd Skynyrd, John Denver, Otis Redding, Patsy Cline, etc. I suppose though when you need to fly constantly from venue to venue, your odds of being involved in a crash increase quite a bit sadly.
@@polski7781 Yes they do; but the odds of a crash seem to rise exponentially for musicians traveling in small planes. Those same sort of numbers apply to every thing we do- like driving, going to the movie, etc.
I love your video's so much and they make me laugh a LOT! The best bit, normally, is your screwing/cutting montages which must take day's of editing to complete! Thank you for all that editing, it's priceless 😂🤣😂🤣😥 I say that's normally the best bit, today that was stollen by your dog's, especially the one attacking the little trolley. AWESOME!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂👍👍👍
I like your videos because you do things like a real person (like me, human and imperfect) and not some kind of woodworking god that never makes mistakes and/or edits them all out.
Every time I press Play on one of your videos, I expect to see you lose an appendage. You are like the Cinemax of woodworking, always the tease, never the sudden dismemberment...
I used the same technique as your successful attempt for creating a workbench top. Mine was perfectly flat at first, but after a month or so the individual 2x4s have all taken in moisture at different rates and my top is "wavy". I'm going to give it another month or two to stabilize further and then try flattening it with a handplane, but I think that's just what I get for using "whitewood" rather than good southern yellow pine. I did make sure to design my bench in a way that enabled me to create a new top down the line, so I might just re-do it with maple at some point if I ever have the cash... :)
I sooooooo appreciate you admitting and showing a major 'failure.' As a novice woodworker I get a bit frustrated with how perfect every project video goes. Also, we freaking love both of your channels. We we're recommended the Lada video a couple of nights ago and couldn't resist. Since then we've watched a lot of videos from both your channels. Never imagined I'd ever watch someone rebuild a car engine.. but the Trabant series, that's good entertainment!!!
The best came at the end. Thanks for the scenes. When you were lying on the shelf, I thought "How the hell did he get in / out? 🤣 I like your content, you are a funny guy. Greetings from Germany
I notice you never use a splitter on your tablesaw. I was cutting a 4*8 piece of 3/4" plywood and it somehow kicked back and the 3hp motor threw it back into my belly. Ouch and a 15" bruise hurt for days. I was lucky. Just an fyi. I like your videos and would like to see you make more.good humor and projects!
Also just have to say I love how you show your mistakes! I don't find it funny (as in I don't laugh at you) but rather interesting & enjoy your creativity. Also... Working on my old (Holden) Kingswood... that whole project is a steep learning curve full of mistakes & determination!! ^^
FYI -- A piece of glass makes a very good dry erase board (if you insist it actually be white, paint the back side of it or put it against a white wall). Even if you make the mistake of using a permanent marker (i.e. "Sharpie"), it is easy to clean with just a bit of acetone on a paper towel. Sometimes, you will find people giving away large pieces of tempered glass for free on Craigslist. They might have previously been shelving or shower doors. Since the glass is tempered, they can't be cut down to use in a smaller size project, so people just give them away.
I made a similar table top for a desk for a queen-size loft bed nearly 30 years ago. The loft bed is no more, but the table top still exists and has been repurposed a few times and is currently serving as a workbench top for my reloading presses. The difference was that I used 2x8s directly so that I had 1.5" of thickness instead of running them through a table saw (which I didn't have anyway) to rip them down. Dowels and glue to connect everything together and then a lot of belt sanding... :)
Love your videos lol, wish I lived close to you, you could pass along all of your mistakes ,I would never have to buy wood, you are so entertaining,but also very good at woodworking I'm guessing , thanks for posting from Garry in the UK
I was really wanting to see you crawl into the shelves and was thinking it would be a struggle.... Then you show it which made my day and I do get to confirm it was in fact a struggle lmfao you are the best
God I love your editing style. I've taken some inspiration, particularly in your use of overlaid clips and graduated masks in Final Cut. It's so much fun when you try something in editing and it actually works.
Use the table top mark I as bumpers around the shop. Place them at bumper height so you don't bump cars or equipment into the walls. Use them for aligning your car on the lift, getting it straight every time.
Here is a little advice for you. After I did the same thing dropping the Arbor nut I epoxy a magnet on the end of the árbol (make sure that it is centered spin Arbor) you don't have to worry about dropping it any more.
I've had the chance to use this table a couple of times now. It's fun to whip out in front of people:) I can see what people are talking about when they say the legs are delicate, but they're design to support a "mostly" vertical load, not be torqued from the side or pushed back into place.

I built a very similar desk last year, I ended up using a similar method of gluing in multiple sections that were narrow enough for the planer (i think i have the same one as you) but each piece also had domino joints in between it that kept the strips very well lined up.
Not everyone has the talent nor ingenuity to turn perfectly good 2 x 10s into laminated 2 x 10s. All joking aside, I enjoyed the video and the fact that you show even professionals make opportunities for more work.
First time viewer, and new subscriber I really enjoy your videos, but I have to ask a question. 14:33 "Mostly on the other channel" What is the name of your other channel, or am I missing something??
I might have painted the wall and shelves white so I could see stuff more easily when shelves are full. I made my bench by nailing 2 by 4s together with wood glue between each board. I used smooth sided of fiber board for top nailed on every 18 in or so with1/2 in tacks. Has worked fine for 30 years. If to gets too messed up I can easily replace as top is nailed not glued on. Not afraid of painting on top or working on greasy dirty engine parts. Wipes clean enough with shop rag or paper towels, it is z WORK bench after all.
I’m waiting for having one of your cut edits, like where you are drilling your pocket holes, where you change your shirt for each piece. I wonder if anyone would notice.
Your willingness to share disasters is appreciated. Makes me consider my own gluey messes as part of good company. Thanks! 😊
Agreed. Whenever someone compliments something my husband and I built, I tell them we had to build a lot of crap in the past to learn.
Brad Lemmond Yup! I keep learning every day... 😊. (He says as he washes the glue from his eyelashes...)

I absolutely died at 5:05. "Im from the future." :)
the best part he is from the future he's a time traveler muhahahahaha
I think it was that and him climbing onto the newly made shelving and going "okay good night!" that got me
I read this comment beforehand and was patiently waiting for 5:05 and still DIED rofl.. He's hilarious
One of the reasons I cried (a tiny bit) with laughter is that I have made very similar mistakes. Great table. Decent shelves. Fantastic video.
These videos are fantastic, keeps me at the edge of my seat. I never know until the end how many fingers you had left to use for editing.
LOL.. I thought the same thing about his fingers
You are quickly becoming my favorite woodworking video guy. I get your humor!
Maybe as a fellow Missourian, I think I enjoy your personality in your videos a bit too much.
Suggestion for the 3 leftover pieces:
You could use them to make a bench seat. Use 1 for the seat and the remaining 2 for the backrest.
I guess he could also use one for the seat and the other two for screwing up while cutting or attaching the seat. :)
Third option for the bench: one becomes the seat, one becomes the legs, and one becomes the stretcher under the seat and between the legs. With a little firewood left over.
My most favorite timelapse editing style. Love it
Crawling into the shelves, I cant help but imagine "oh the things I do for a bit" is the only thing going through your head!
"Matthias Wandel would be very disappointed in me"....gotta love it!
Annnddd hilarity ensues!! You never fail to amuse. Thanks for this. Wonderful video, storytelling, and editing. Thank you.

I admit I cringed a little when I saw that. Oops, oh, well. I have other fingers.
I could have done this in only about 17 days with twice the waste. Thanks for another honest project video.

Jim Groce was a great songwriter. I put his song “Time in a Bottle” in my list as one of the best lyrics and songs of all time. 👏👏
