Wow, insainly nice job of breaking this down into into doable steps and showing how to build this versatile bench and showing all it can do. Only you could have pulled this off. You are a rock star!
Thanks so much for sharing these ideas with me Mike! I love being able to showcase them!
Nice design Mike
It's a great design and Tamar definitely did a great job filming the build, it really is accessible feeling unlike a lot of traditional benches which rely on weight to keep it stable.
She's giving you credit Mike. I'm blown away by the video, instruction, details, etc. I just started making videos, and I see how much work this is. WOW! Great job, I'm jealous! Keep it up.
This was so good I went looking for Mike’s stuff, but alas….
I built this using this video as a guide about 6 months ago. Even though I have other work surfaces, I found myself using it a lot for other things. Along the way I added a few things that I think make it much more useful. They are:
1. I glued a pencil sharpener to the side of the workbench, left of the moxon vise.
2. I bought an 8x12 sheet of leather and used a piece I cut from it sized to fit a pencil that I nailed into the underside of the bench just to the left of the moxon vice. I saw this in another video that someone added to a full size workbench. I can't tell you how many times I've needed a pencil when using this and no longer have to get up and go find one.
3. To the right of the moxon vise I built a small drawer to hold my bench dogs. I was careful to make sure that the slides for the drawer were in between the dog holes and I figured if I needed the dog holes above that were directly over the drawer, I could just pull the drawer out and set it aside. My drawer was about 8x8 inches wide and about 1/2 inch or so shorter than the available height. I used 1/4 plywood as I knew it wouldn't hold much weight. I also cut a small piece of hardwood and made a drawer stop right above the drawer using a screw to secure it and just loose enough that I could rotate it down in front of the drawer to keep the drawer in place. In the back I just glued on a small block of wood to prevent it from sliding out the back.
4. Finally since I found I was using this bench so much for things that didn't need the dog holes and often small things would fall through the dog holes, I got a 1x16x36 piece of project pine board from Lowes and glued 4 3/4" dowels about 4 inches long to the bottom of the board so I can when needed just drop this board right onto my workbench and have a larger work area without dog holes.
Anyway, I use this thing all the time, and I wanted to share how I've increased it's usefulness over time. It's really been a great addition to my workshop and this video made it so easy to build, along with links to all the parts. I find it so frustrating when vloggers don't include links to the parts they use, IE the knobs, the vise hardware etc. Having all of that for this really made this video and instructions easy to follow
Wonderful ideas you've implemented here. I'll have to steal the removable dog hole cover/work space.
I plan on making this at coffee table height and it would most definitely be used for other projects. You could make multiple insertable tops for different needs. A self healing cutting mat, sharpening stones, etc. would bring a plethora of utility.
Absolutely well done! As a life long woodworker and retired teacher I can say you're spot on with this instructional and I learned much from watching it. Thank you for putting the time and energy into making it. I subscribed.
Really love your channel. I’ve been a renovation/finish carpenter for 30 years. I do love getting out my hand tools and doing some basic woodworking stuff when I can. Most of my clients are older/retired types. Those doods get real relaxed when the hand tools come out and are used effectively. The results you are getting with contractors tools is awesome, I look forward to making your cross cut sled. That will really up my game. All my gear is in a portable workshop, my shop space is always on site so this clever little bench will be fun to make and use.
Your videos are great! As a passionate "Newbie" to the world of woodworking, your videos are clear, concise, and educational, so I can work and watch during the build-outs. Keep saving those wood shavings as a firestarter; I TOTALLY do the same thing!
This bench looks very useful. If you are using the bench on your dining table or other furniture you may want to add some of that cork rubber or some other padding to the feet to prevent marring. Also, adding a couple of dog holes to the Moxon jaw will let you clamp pieces to a dog in the bench for planing, routing or carving work where you want access to the entire surface.
That’s a great idea!
Those are two really nice ideas! You could make easily removable feet too and attach the non-marring pads to them. That way you can remove the feet if you ever need to put the workbench on a dirty surface.
That cork rubber on the feet might be nice even if you’re not on a surface you’re worried about scratching up. And if it was on a floor it would probably help a lot.
If I had a dining room table to work on; I wouldn’t need this work surface
@@darylg3720 Oh, you're one of those.
This is one of my most favorite builds you've done. Extremely practical. Extremely doable for newbies. The bushing idea fixes a problem I was having drilling a tapered hole with the same awesome drill bit. Those drill bits are fantastic.
They are sooooo good!
@@3x3CustomTamar Please is there away to get the measurements and patterns for this project?
@@dfedx1726 yea. There are plans linked in the description
WOW! You are fantastic... The way that you did the video and explained all of the necessary steps Shows that you have not only great expertise in woodworking, but equal skills in assembling the videos. I'm green with envy with all of the tools that you have. Great job!
I would have never thought of this, or have ever seen something like this before. AND I LOVE IT!!!!!! I took woodworking in school, and have always wanted a full shop, but only have a single car garage in a townhouse that my SO parks in. This would be everything I need!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!
Great build and thank you. I struggled with vise as well until I got a 3/4 galvanized pipe that is 12 inches. I just put over the handle of vise and use it as a breaker bar and struggle no more!
I appreciate how you always include alternate methods in each step for those with limited tool options. I'll need to build this (or something very similar) in the future, so thanks!
Glad you appreciate it!
It will be a lot more work without her power tools, especially to get the precision. Good luck...
OH NO! Are you saying I cant do it, Mr. Torment? Please don't talk like that, Mr, pleease? It _scares_ me so.
Brava 👍👍
I can't remember the number of times I've watched this video and other alternatives...only to come back to this one... I've finally started making this project happen with some scrap wood around my job's shop and am excited to make this a reality... Just have to purchase the vice kit ... Thanks for bringing the idea to us, keep them coming...
Awesome. Have fun
This is so useful! I was thinking about building a portable surface so that I can work in the backyard or something instead of the garage when the weather is nice. This looks like a great of solution for that. Thanks for the breakdown of how you built this!
Start to finish, this video is so well done. Content, directions, editing, and the pace are all excellent. It's so obvious how much effort you put into your craft and storytelling. You are an inspiration to other builders and folks considering their own RUclips channel. Keep it up!
So awesome to hear! Glad you liked it! Really appreciate it
Tamar, as always you have done a great job at demonstrating this "how to". You make it easy to follow and your videos are always fun to watch. I do think that this portable bench could be a great addition to any woodworker's tool chest. Cheers!
So awesome to hear. Lots of work goes into making the videos. So I’m glad it was appreciated. And glad you like the bench!
I just finished mine! So proud and excited to have this in my shop now. Thanks Tamar for great instruction!
That is fantastic! I live in a small apartment in Central NY and actually use my kitchen to work. This would really make my life easier. Thank you for creating this. 🙏🏽
This is an awesome bench. Probably one of the best projects you have ever done. Definitely a spring/summer project this year. Thanks.
So glad you liked it!
Love it 😍 I used to never put finishes on wood either but after tons of projects getting gross and the grain popping up after a couple of years and splitting everywhere, now I’m a satin finish person :)
Great video! I’m a beginning woodworker. I have a tall workbench that was in the house when I bought it but it’s basically just a tall table. I needed something with this kind of versatility. I made it this weekend with slightly thinner boards because that’s what I have. I’m ready to start using it! Thanks!!
That drill bit looks like what I have for the woods but mine has a pre-drill smaller portion to help you line up the hole and a ring where your attaches to the drill for an appropriately sized stick through it to turn it by hand. I was also impressed by the nice holes that it makes and the sound it makes carving through the wood is really nice too.
This is unbelievable. I was thinking about building something like this yesterday! The plans in my head were, for lack of a better description, vague and crappy. I bought your plans and will make something clear and decidedly not crappy now!! Thank you!
Awesome!! So glad you liked it!
@@3x3CustomTamar I showed my wife one of your videos. She said “I bet you wish you had that shop!” I said “correct” 🤣
@@erikjohnson2889 😂
A1
That is an exact idea! I really like the idea of being able to move a work surface pretty much anywhere. You got me thinking about how to attach that "bench" to the tailgate of my truck. Well done!
This rocks. The simplicity in making and its versatility in uses blows my mind hopefully others' too.
You are right about the pockets! Great job teaching us how to make this.
Thanks for sharing the build. I made a similar portable bench about 2 years ago. It's made from an old maple counter top. I don't have much space and your bench might be the a very welcomed upgrade.
I have to tell that you are an amazing woodworker. Congratulations for your job and your videos.
I am from Venezuela and I have a woodworking RUclips channel and I want to tell that your channel is one of the best I follow.
Congratulations SS and thank you for your excellent videos
Really so awesome to hear! I appreciate that!
I think you are my favourite woodworker on RUclips. You are really good at talking through your process and methodology.
Great project design and a wonderful video Tamar! I may have missed someone else saying this in the comments but one other use for that right-side planing stop is for those who use Japanese style planes that cut on the pull stroke.
This build is fantastic!
Can’t wait to build one for my tiny workspace.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Really well done … as always, well explained, demonstrated and recorded. Your videos are always so well shot with excellent closeups and lighting … a pleasure to watch. Cheers!!!
So awesome to hear! Glad you like it!
I used to watch your videos some years ago, got this one pop up rn. You always had very good content and very easy to understand, very calm and step by step, i love them. Thanks!
I was so amazed by this mini bench. Just wow. Fantastic design and execution
"And I did it out of 1 2x10" First you had my interest... now you have my attention. This is perfect, I've been wanting to find plans for something just like this. Thank you so much. Keep up the good work.
Nice
Thank you, Tamar, for sharing this build!! I have a very small shop and have to move outdoors to work on my projects. This would help me tremendously. And bonus, I already have the saw horses you demonstrated this on! Now if only this 6 inches of snow would melt and go away!
So glad you liked it! I can’t wait for winter to be over 😂
What is the brand/model of the sawhorse?
I have seen several of your videos and I must say that you are a incredible lady. Hopefully your family brings you a lifetime of fulfillment. Keep up the great work and Thank you for your efforts.
I will be making this bench to start my wood working endeavor! Thanks to all those who've contributed to this video!
Really cool design! I was going to replace the worn top boards of my 30 year old Black & Decker Workmate, but using this design with my Workmate will be far more versatile, and will raise the working level to a much better height that will reduce back strain (those 30 years of wear and tear also apply to me)
I'm planning to do the same thing -- adapt this to attach to the top of my Workmate -- it's going to be great.
I love the concept and look of this bench. Going to have to make one for myself to see how well it works. Very nice design!
This is exactly what I've been looking for. I'm a beginner, I don't have much space, but I think I can build this with what resources I have and expand my capabilities. Thanks for what I hope will be a great build for me!
Thanks for the video and the plans, they are outstanding. The bench is perfect for my small work space in my basement. I picked up a Shopsmith Mark V a few months ago to help save some space and that is what I used to build most of the bench.
Nice build. I just finished (almost) building a work bench on castors with levelling feet for use in my basement, tired of not having anything flat and level. I have incorporated some t-tracks for clamping, and some dog holes, and had not seen the horizontal dog clamps before. They are now on my shopping list!
Awesome! Glad it was helpful!
Simply a genius design and build. Your infectious delivery and enthusiasm is so enabling I feel I could build anything after one of you videos, Thank you so much. By the way the bench is excellent.
If I can do it, you can do it!
this is honestly a great fit for me. i live in an apartment and although i can easily clamp something to the railing as a makeshift vise while im working its a very crude fix. this is elegants and can easily be sized up or down to fit different requirements and restraints
This is genius. You are genius. I’m using your suggestion to clamp to a level when making the fences for the table saw sled. Wow I’m learning so much. Thank you Wilber.
I love everything about this. I’ve been mulling work bench options and this will be a great thing to make and use while I plan my forever bench. Thanks for the awesome video!
Hello friend
So glad you like it!
This is awesome! I am building a tiny house and will be doing a lot of my own trim and cabinetry. This will be invaluable on the job site without diverting too many resources from the actual build.
So awesome to hear. So glad it was helpful for you!
Go Linda!
Absolute work of art! Thank you for all the details you provide. Love this channel.
Thank you for:
(1) Very clear and concise instructions, showing us detail and explaining not just what or how, but why.
(2) Going at a good pace. I can slow it down at places I need to rewatch.
(3) Great camera work with no hidden areas. We can clearly see what you are doing and explaining as you do it.
(4) Getting right down to business with no extended intro to your channel.
(5) Leaving out intro music and especially background music that even at low levels can compete with the speaker's voice. This is an enormous help to those of us with even slight hearing issues.
(6) Leaving out those super annoying little clips people are interspersing throughout their videos to emphasize a point, like clips from movies or cartoons. I find them way too distracting and time wasting. I love that you focus completely on the task.
(7) Some of the most professional and therefore enjoyable woodworking videos!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
You’re phenomenal as always. I’d love to see you continue to add shop storage, furniture, etc. that are multi functional as this is. 🤟🏽 live the overalls, I have an uninsulated garage as well.
The overalls are so great! So comfy
Thanks so much! This is perfect timing for me, and perfect for those of us just starting out who haven’t got a garage or shed with enough space for a big work bench. I’m thinking I might mount it on a small wheelie cart that’s level with my kitchen island. Love your channel!
That would be really cool!
@@3x3CustomTamar TQ V M for such brilliant idea. It answers to my small bedroom workshop space & multifunctional too
I loved your idea for the drilling jig using the 3/4-inch bushing. I did it a bit differently. I used a scrap piece of 3/4 inch hardwood, marking the center of the hole to drill for the bushing. I then cut one long side at 2 inches from the center, and the other long side at 1 1/2 inches from the center. I didn't attach the side "guide", but instead just used clamps to keep it in place, moving from hole to hole. The jig was set with the 2-inch side flush to the edge of the bench with center guidelines drawn on the jig to line up with the measuring marks. For the side holes, I placed the 1 1/2-inch side flush to the top of the bench and clamped it, so the side holes were drilled exactly half the height of the bench. I took some pics...if anyone is interested. But it was super simple. I sent the pics on your IG in case you wanted to see. Thanks Tamar!
This is simply the answer to a dozen of questions I’d been asking myself and not only over the last few years. Absolutely amazing. And astonishing simple and rational and ergonomic. Your explanation is really something that is able to be synthetic and highly detailed at the same time. Surreal. I can’t wait to go and try (will fail at least 4 times) and do it. Inspiring. Thanks a lot and congrats. Emanuele from Ancona
No en tiendo tu idioma pero veo tus vídeos y aprendo de ellos por que muestras paso apaso
This will make a great addition to my shop. Love the simplicity of the build and all you can do with it. Great job.
Mark from WISCONSIN.
So glad you like it!
Oh my god! This is brilliant! Love it! I have a very small basement area where I would like to add a small hand tool shop. A slightly modified version of this would be perfect! Thanks for showing this, Tamar!
Awesome. Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your relaxed way in demonstrating how to build this workbench. My next project.
For this small shop passionate woodworker your video was the best 24 minute use of my time I think I’ve ever had on RUclips. Bravo! I just recently purchased your 6-in-1 Router Jig Template that really helped make quick work of a pain in the a$$ project I was working on and can’t thank you enough for all the great, easy to understand videos that you do!
It’s me again - just watched for the second time! So, best 48 minutes of RUclips watching 😂
I’ve been a fan of mini/portable workbenches ever since I saw Adrien Prada’s video. I’ve built a couple different designs of them, but yours really got my attention!, so I built one not long after your vid came out. The only change I made was adding one of those home center wood vises on the end opposite the planing stop. And being a welder/machinist, I built all the metal Moxon vise parts from scratch! Now, at least a year later, I’ve gotta tell you that this workbench has seen near constant use, and I’m actually considering building a second! Case in point: I was asked by a good friend if I could/would build a stable for her 7 year old daughters Schliech miniature horses as a Christmas present. She referenced a two part build on the “Daisy Stalls” YT channel as being the one her daughter was ga-ga over, which was half of a barn, but requested 6 to 10 stalls instead of the 2 in the vid. My solution was to build two halves and one half would be four stalls, the other two stalls, and a wash bay and a tack/feed room. Having this portable workbench was incredibly helpful throughout the project, and the thing actually morphed into several different forms as I moved from subassembly to subassembly! At times I used a piece of 1/4” glass on top with an aluminum straightedge clamped on top along the long side and squared with the planing stop. This gave me a great 90 degree glue up jig for making the delicate stall dividers among other things! Never even considered using it for something like that when I built it, but it’s just so versatile! I’ll stop rambling and just say thanks for producing my all time favorite RUclips project videos! And happy thanksgiving!
Great stuff. The only thing I'd change is to install the nuts for the vice thread rods further away from the edge. I think they can split it, if tightened too much
I have watched this video a bunch of times because I think this is an awesome bench. I hope to one day be able to build it, but I am missing some of the tools needed to do so. I always think about the part where you install the bushing in your jig to drill holes. Not sure if you did it! But I have seen where sometimes bushings will be cooled prior to installation because cold makes metal reduce in size. I just thought that might be an easier way to install that bushing. I could be wrong though lol. Thanks, as always, for the great ideas!
I just found your channel and watched my first video of yours. I really like the way you explain everything. I’m planning a workshop of my own. And, this wood working bench is exactly what I need. I’ve got an antique spruce beam I’m going to cut down for my version
A year ago, I was really impressed with this build, and put it on the back burner. After one year of woodworking, it looks like it's time to make a nice joinery bench.
Tamar ... you knocked it out of the park! This is exactly what I need for my portable garage / basement work shop, much more than the Moxon vice I built. I'm going to use the those Moxon vice parts and make this bench. I'm sure I can find the square nuts vice the hex nuts. I'm also a member of a community wood shop so I have access to a planer, drill press. I just batch the work and drive over to the shop. Stay warm ... 19 degrees in western NY today. v/r ... tom
Awesome. So glad you found it useful!
I love your enthusiasm for pockets :D And this looks about perfect for me! I've been watching a lot of workbench building videos going "Those are huge and I don't have room right now" (I mainly work on a folding Keter workbench/table and a folding camp table I can put away when done). I could clamp something like this on top of my Keter :D
Or on top of the other DIY workbenches in the garage that are not mine and very generic >_> I'll just bookmark this for now so I know where all the links are. Thanks for sharing! :)
Cool! Loved the detailed narrative delivered in a cheerful voice - really communicate her depth of knowledge and enthusiasm (plus a you "Can Do It!" tone).
Awesome job. I have a full size shop with large benches and vises but need something like that for traveling projects at the camper/marina or just anywhere. Love it!
Props & respect, specifically for telling us about the jig, at 3:10. Many DIY-ers and RUclipsrs would avoid "outing" themselves, not showing human imperfections, and not incurring criticism. However, the fact that you did means those of us who follow this can have a better experience. Thank you!
👍👍👍
I've noticed she shows us her mistakes as well as her successes, the floating bed for her eldest son was a classic with the lap joints being the wrong way round and she had already glued up 😂😂😂❤
oh my - this is going to get some serious views. Awesome idea/vid
One can only hope. Ha
I'm building your boom arm dust collector first so you rock too!
True statement. 98k views in a day and counting. Wow. Great video.
Huge thanks for recommending this channel, between yours and Tamar’s so many great ideas for small shops!
@@3x3CustomTamar Well, I've already made a trip to one of my local Lowe's to check out the drill bits and the cost of 2" x 10" x 8' and 2" x 12" x 8' boards to get an idea of what I want as my Father's Day gifts!
Wow thank you. I ,live in a flat. And I miss my workshop that I had in my previous Bungalow. This might just be the thing that I need. I might have to just downsize it so that I can use it in my flat. I am Only allowed to make a noise in working hours. No weekends. But this might just fit the bill. I will only need it on occasions,For DIY and making small furniture items. Great vid. Love your Channel. I have to say that your Channel is the best woodworking channel on RUclips. So glad I found it. Long May it continue.
This presentation and commentary were OUTSTANDING! This includes the dinner! This vid I'm keeping. Many thanks, ma'am. Semper Fi
Love this bench Tamar, and soooo with you on the whole pocket thing; I’ve ended up buying men’s jeans over the years, simply because they have proper pockets. Love to see you forging the way for female woodworkers. So appreciated. 👏🏼👍🏽🙏🏼
I could not agree more. And as someone who is just starting out, all of your jig builds have taught me more than you can imagine.
Haha so glad you liked it! Why can’t we get normal pockets?! 😂😂
I love this for adding a little hand tool accessory to an existing bench or wherever. I would say, even as a person with a large planer, I’d probably just make this out of 4 layers of laminated plywood because I feel like it would be more stable and harder than a 2x10. If you DO plan to go this route I recommend over-sizing your plywood so if it slips when you glue it up (and it most likely will) then you won’t have start over. Once the glue is dry then trim the entire assembly to final size.
Hii sir 🤝🤝🤝😊
Sounds like a good plan!
Hi Jeremy. My first thought was plywood too. I just built one out of 4 layers of 5/8 ply. Check out my thread in the comments if your interested in a few details.
I think the side holes be a problem in plywood.
@@alportante no problems so far. Delamination is not going to be an issue.
Amazing ! easy to understand and a Great teacher ! Your family must be so proud of You ,
Thank You Tamar
This is easily my new favorite wood working channel
LOVE IT!
Not gunna like you put a man in his place. Thankyou .
Tamar, I just wanted to offer you a good tip. If you need more muscle on your vise, instead of struggling with pliers, you just need more leverage. If you have a pipe, you can slip it over the handle and that will do the trick. If you don’t a deep socket and extension works wonders
Good tip!
Another quick option for a 'cheater' bar is to hook the closed (box) end of a largish combination wrench over the vise bar, and lever it back over the vise screw. Or use the loop in the end of a crescent wrench the same way 👍
While I would normally agree with what you are saying, not so sure I'd use a cheater bar on that type of vise. Tamar, you just need a bigger vise for that job! That wooden vise (read clamp) is not designed for the forces you are putting on it.
I also thought that the pliers were an odd tool for the job. They hardly extended her leverage and left ugly marks on her vise.
@@vanessas2454 I literally just grabbed what was next to me without putting too much thought into it. Ha
Latecomer to this channel, and this is the first vid I land on.... amazingly useful project for a small workshop, and for carting around to on-sight projects! I think even with a couple of "modular" adjustments to the design it could be one of the most versatile "bench Bull" style workbenches I've seen! Great work! :)
😊😊😊
I'm in the same boat as u. Just stumbled across this channel a few hours ago. Pretty damn happy about it to. Great video
Awesome. So glad you like it!
Tremendously well done with the explaining and execution!! I'm just planning trying my hand at wood working and have a smaller garage that also needs to fit my bike "workshop" and the families stuff. So this setup seems ideal for trying the hobby out with tons of versatility 😁
Weirdly enough i have more than enough 2x10 laying around already for another project in the house that never happened so this is just a perfect fit for me!
ALSO, it will pretty much be my first ever wood working build so I'm really excited!
You have just empowered me!! I have been concerned that after a disaster and a massive downsizing that I was going to be too limited to rebuild a working life! And then up you pop promoting this fabulous idea and WOW! From didn’t know I could to now I can in the length of one of your videos! Thank you so much.
Bob
England
Awesome! Good luck with it!
This is amazing. I can see this easily being made part of a modular system as well. Just making one of these at a time and attaching it to the previous one until you've gotten to the size you want. After 3-6, you have a typically sized bench to work on.
Really great build! Thanks for showing us your process for it!
That would be super cool
@@3x3CustomTamar Paul. I have been thinking how I could make a MFT style bench, but could not wrap my mind around how to drill the holes with out buying an expensive jig. Tamar’s simple jig and like you said make one at a time and attach them together will get the job done. Thanks guys!
@@richardlug6139 awesome. Glad it was helpful for you!
This is the first video of yours that i have watched. Great content and great step-by-step. Seems like everyone is going with Woodcraft these days. Just getting into woodworking myself and looking for good tools and other stuff.
Keep up the good work
WOW! I was looking to build a mini workbench, when I found this video. Thank you for posting this!❤❤❤
This is a brilliant design Tamar! I want to make one!!
Thanks so much! And it was so awesome getting to chat this weekend!
É muito interessante como uma peça tão simples pode ter tantas funcionalidades, basta usar a inteligência. Parabéns pelo trabalho, e muito obrigado por compartilhar conosco.
Thank you so much!
Tenho 67 anos. Nunca vi essa obra de arte. Parabéns 😊obrigado
As someone with very limited space, especially in the winter months this is exactly what ive been looking for! Ive seen a few like this but none this good!
I really appreciated the link to the other build. Though, using it clamped on sawhorses would also work well, definitely looking forward to seeing you use the bench. I've been looking towards building a similar bench style for a number of months, and this one looks great for my limited corner of the garage.
So glad you liked it!
Weeeellll here's the solution I needed to not having any room for a workbench in a small apartment. Thanks!
Awesome!! Glad it was helpful!
I've just started my build using your plans, and am really liking it thus far. Thanks!
Brilliant! I build boats for recreation. Building this portable workbench looks like a fine winter project.
As always Tamar, you've nailed (no pun intended) your project. I've seen other portable work benches like this in the past and didn't think they would be much use to me but this one fits the bill nicely. Thanks for the quality upload!
So awesome to hear!
I have watched so many of these types of videos and thought, "That is so cool. But I don't need it". I think I will build this. Looks really handy - will be a great addition to my tiny shop.
Awesome. Have fun with it!
Excellent idea, thank you, just made replacement grates for my pellet smoker as I really did not like the coated grates that came with it, I used 18ga stainless so I had to use my nephew’s heavy duty plate bender, but not having to weld stainless was a Godsend.
This is genius! I have a workshop in my basement but often do renovation work upstairs. It's annoying to have to constantly go up and down stairs to use my bench. This would definitely come in handy. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome. So glad it was helpful!
I agree, I was doing trim work in my bathroom and got tired of running up and down the stair a with long pieces of trim to bring them down to the miter saw to take “just a hair” off and test fitting. I made a little shooting board based on Tamar’s and brought it up to the kitchen helped me refine the fit once I had the rough cuts done. Having an entire hand tool bench would have been even more useful for this project.
@@jeremyspecce When I was doing trim I ended up settling for putting my miter saw on the laundry room floor. Definitely better than running downstairs but not great having to squat down on the floor all of the time. Wish I had seen this video first!
Very well done good product, really good video. The only thing that really really grinds my gears is the amount of instruction videos like these from across the pond that show the audience using machinery without guards. I've been a carpenter/joiner for 30 years and still like to learn new ideas from people always. In recent years I've spent much of my time training apprentices. I would never show any of them how to use a machine when the guards have been removed. I'm not a H+S nut or I'd go on further about ppe also as that is just good practice. But we should do when instructing others do it the correct way so they learn the correct way. We can't be teaching others bad habits. All that being said it's still a great video otherwise and wish you all the best.
being safe isnt about having guards in place, it's about doing what you know is right. you wanna teach your students to be safe? stop teaching them that accidents are random happenings that can happen to anyone at any time for no reason and have them work without guards and not make any mistakes. that way they'll learn to be safe with or without guards, because relying on guards to be safe is mental
I watch a lot of workbench vids. This video impressed! I switched to small living at the latter part of 2017. I no longer have a garage. I am a contractor (Custom AV Integrator). My trade has me primarily working with cables and technology. Since I work out of my home, my shed (which I hoped would have a workbench) is consumed by inventory and other work junk. BUT, I also need skills from other trades. We kind of do it all, and I love creating with wood, metal, plastic, etc. THIS BENCH IS THE ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS! Thank you!
Awesome. So glad it was helpful!
Super appreciate you showing non shop tool options for the space limited!
Hey Tamar, I bought the plans and I'm going to make the workbench out of 'fancy' wood. I love the projects you do and am happy to support your channel. I do have a suggestion though; get yourself a 12" piece of 3/4" steel pipe and use that to extend your lever on the vise when you need more power. It will be much more effective than awkwardly grabbing the lever with channel lock pliers.
Appreciate that!
Every woman watching nodding along to the pocket sequence.
Get looser clothes lol, big pockets need space.
Thanks Tamar! I'm just putting the finishing touches on mine. So far, I love using the moxon to hold the rest of the parts. Your the best!
Nice!
I'm very happy to have found this video. I may not build one myself in the near future but I've learned so much from the video. In the process of finding saw horses at yard sales, I found a foldable bench that had a lot of holes and clamp drawers on the sides. I had no idea what the holes were for! 🤦♀️🤣 I also love learning about different devices and the terminology. You've made it very exciting for me to get what I need and try using that baby! 🤣😄 Thank you! Oh, and your little guy is my kind of people with the Kale! Mmmm mmm!
Cool project, love your work, but this particular video has the feel of “how many sponsors can I cram into this?”
Glad you liked it. Getting these sponsors is the only way I am able to continue to make these videos. Without them I would keep woodworking as a hobby for myself.
I normally fast forward through “commercials” but, oddly, usually watch Tamar’s because they’re entertaining and I know she uses the products she promotes. I’ve ended up purchasing more than one thing because of her homemade “commercials”. I mean, how cute did she look in her overalls? :)
Ain’t capitalism great!
@@tomcoryell Yeah the alternative is she is assigned to a job in society and either nobody watches it, or you are mandated to watch it 🤣. Instead of having an egalitarian platform where you can earn money through skill and hard work
