Titebond 3 with the green label has a much longer set up time. We use it all the time for gluing up butcher blocks at my shop. The blue label titebond 2 sets up almost instantly
+
I have watched 2 test{videos} where "3Titlebond "set time is shorter then "2Titlebond" even though the bottle says different ! Now what am I to do?!
Now, bolt it down to those MONSTER saw horses and you're done.
Honesly better to attach it with a cyanoacrilate and sodium bicarbonate, help with the issues most get of moisture build up
Glue up might be easier with a paint roller, but regardless, that is one heck of a bench top.
That is the way I did my bench and it might be a little easier. I still was in a panic frenzy worried about the glue drying too quick! LOL Good day to you Curt!
In my old shop, we used to make all kinds of stuff out of milled down 2x4s laminated together just like this. We always used a 4” paint roller. We would also only coat one side of each joint. It works really well.
i was thinking that too or a foam brush
Not only is this a cool workbench and a cool way to clamp it, it's a film quality video. I mean, you really nailed the angst of glue-ups, so the emotional part of filming is great! The whole time, we were kept in suspense. It's also a good planning tool, seeing where there were a few problems and correcting them when (if) I decide to do this. For instance, I usually scrape all the glue of a messy glue up first and then use water. I'd at least scrape the glue off the bottom, but not use water. Not a criticism, just watching what you did, I can see where some refinements can be made. I might make the allthread somewhat longer, since that moment of dramatic tension made my heart skip a beat. Too long, though, and it would take longer to tighten. Have more than one hammer ;). I'm going looking to see if there's a followup. Memorable video!
I would carefully plane, block sand, and hand scrape the surface dead flat and smooth .
That would make life easier for the rusty/greasy Chevy small block when I drop it on the new work bench.
I liked this, all a side, this represents a real guy in a real shop with real situations, like not knowing where the hammer is, and gluing up a bench top with a time table on wet glue. Awesome job sir.
Maybe we can use some of that glue to glue these episodes together lol
Six Roldan right 😂😂
He's got 5 or so workbench videos and they don't all go together.
TheChattanoogaBandit yes please. Annoying 8 months later first find
Literally my thoughts exactly.
I do wish it was numbered or in a play list.
This is the first time I've ever seen you moderately flustered while creating a video. Great stuff!
live action!
At an old job I edge-glued boards for days on end. I used a paint tray and 4 inch roller to apply glue. I used 4 gallons in one day. I bet one gallon worth if drip ended on the floor......you did just fine! Looks great!
I never get tired of your videos. Thank you for some quality alternative entertainment and learning.
I am facing the "I need a good workbench" dilemma I watched this glue up and felt your pain I will make 10 times the mess ha. " I hope a gallon is going to be enough"
Great videos keep up the great work fella.
Lonesome Dove, Roots and Workbench are my all time favorite miniseries
This is the first time I've ever commented on a video but I have to say I really enjoy your content and style.
I've been working on some iron pipe shelves and really wanted to make butcher block style shelf boards but didn't really know how, after watch you make this bench I followed your process exactly and the shelves look amazing, I wish you could see them.
Anyway thanks for great videos.
I agree with other posters that the series was a little confusing to follow but I figured it out.
I made a similar table at work I came up with that same idea,i used cable reels for electric cable. First I removed all the threaded rods out of 4 or 5 cable reels ,an the hard ware . Then I used a bunch of oak 2x4 's ,this stuff is plentiful in the offshore area in Louisiana. Cable reels an oak 2x4's also palettes are plentiful. I usually collect 100's of palettes a year just for fire wood the oak ones . Before they throw them away. But cable reels I take them apart for metal rods ,there not all threads but quite useful. Mr Cody I would love to visit a place like yours for a month in winter just to experience snow,I only seen snow a few times for a few minutes in Louisiana. It's on my bucket list I'am 50 years old gunna experience some snow weather.
I was hoping you would show the bottom of the workbench and you didn’t let me down! I had know idea how stressed you were when applying the glue! It’s a great that you are doing this while you’re young enough to handle all of the loving work for your son, Jack. What a blest son to have a father who is thinking about his future. This bench is a labor of love. I am happy to say I remember watching my daddy shave way back when he used the old fashion style of shaving. All the faces he made during his ritual of a morning chore was something I spoke about with my little brother Jack on his birthday today. It’s funny how a little girl can enjoy the little things that bring joy & fond memories of being daddy’s little girl. I hope you and your family enjoy your Sabbath day honoring God and family meals together 🇺🇸
Yep, you get a little happy with the glue lol 😆. It’s going to be a great workbench. That’s going to last for generations to come. It’s always a pleasure to watch you truck along and work. My friend, God bless you and yours and stay safe!!
Cody, It's most impressive that you didn't get half the glue on your clothes. I once glued and clamped my shirt between two boards. The glue on the floor is part of the process that you can't avoid. If there wasn't glue dripping, you'd be starving your joints. Very nice results on what is really a two man job. Bill from MN.
Guys I talked to Mr. W last night in the comments. He said this will be a 37 part series 😂😂
Did I say 37 parts? Actually, this series will be 53 parts,
He just keeps me coming back !
Between videos I follow the links to the vise and Tightbond.
@@wranglerstar we don't care if it's a 153 part series, we'll be here watching. Bet on that sir
@@wranglerstar The more the merrier.
@ David Now.......2 parts glued together.......35 to go, before the glue dries up...is the thing to worry about !!! Lol !
Cody,
Nice bench top! When I eventually have access to a garage again, I will use your design. For future reference I would strongly recommend you lay the boards on their side, pressed against each other in their numbered order. Use a cheap paint roller (or a silicone glue roller if you are feeling fancy) to spread the glue over all of the boards on one side. Then tip them on end and clamp. It's the same process I use when making butcher blocks and it allows you to cover much more area in the same amount of time while reducing waste.
In addition, If you are ever concerned about gluing your work to your sawhorses/surfaces, wrap the contact areas with saran wrap.
Another idea that I'm gonna try this Spring as I make one. Another $1 store find is the small 4" trim paint roller and plastic pan they usually have. If not, just cut down a full size one. Dump glue in the pan, and roll it on and no worries about glue drying before you're done.
Another tip- $1 store kitchen section has silicone basting brushes that work great for spreading glue. If you forget to remove the glue, it comes right off the silicone. Also, you should have nailed a couple 2x4's to your saw horses and put all your wood right there and not have to run back and forth. Just flip them all forward, and start from the back most piece.
When I do this, I glue up with the "good" side down on my reference surface. That way some of the inevitable irregularities get chased to the "top" - away from your reference, which is actually the bottom of your assembly.
Doing 1 foot sections and then assembling them takes a lot of the anxiety and stress out of racing the glue. A pass through ratchet and socket is way cheaper than a pile of wide bar clamps, which would otherwise be required to glue in stages.
But you proved it could be done! 😊 Good thing you used regular wood glue. Titebond III grabs way too fast for such a big job.
That made me feel so much better just to see you running around your workshop like a scared rabbit was just brilliant. So glad you included all the footage warts and all makes us feel normal to know that Mr organised can also get in a fluster :)
Damn children in China are starving and could eat that glue man
I wish they wood
Indeed! Somewhere in the world a child is going to bed tonight without his glue.
Mark Villano crying shame
LOL! That was a TON of glue!
Yeah. Something to stick to their ribs.
Hahaha the two stresses in life gluing up wood and finishing concrete. Keep up the good work Cody and God bless.
You forgot Roofing under threat of rain...
I saw a video somewhere of a guy using a small foam roller for spreading glue on an application like this. Looked like it worked great.
That's how we do it at my cabinet shop.
He shouldn'tve cut his threaded rod. Then he could've just aligned them all, and applied glue in between with a grout sponge, and tightened afterwards.
@@tuckerkennedy5016 Look at the previous video. Then you'll know why he cut the rods.
@@shopnwoods9901 There are other options that take advantage of the fact you have access to both ends of the all thread like a pronged tee nut that would let all action be focused on the finished side of the rod and if you want the looks to match can hide with a washer and nut when fishing.
Just my way of making a workbench top with 2x4's. I also used 1/2 inch all thread but I drilled and tapped threads into the first two boards. I clamped them together and drilled 5/16th holes 2 and a half inches deep and tapped 1/2 x 16 threads into the wood. Then I cut my all thread to length and screwed them into the two boards after I glues the first two together. I had the two 2x4's sitting on my saw horses with the all thread sticking straight up. After that I glued the 2x4's and stacked them on top of each other and it looked easier that laying them down side by side. My reasoning for threading the first two is so I wouldn't have the ends of the all thread showing on the front of my work bench. I've had people tell me that the threads would strip out but I have been threading wood for many decades and never once have I stripped out a thread when doing something like this. I tightened the half inch all thread till it was pulling the washer and nut into the wood and the threads held up way more than was necessary to sink the washer into the wood. Hope someone gets an idea from my comments..... Thanks!
Thank you for taking your time and using the tools that are available to most of us
I learn much from your work flow and process. It helps me think about what I need to do the job BEFORE I do it. This applies to many areas of life. Thanks for showing us the successes and challenges of working a project flow. Keep up the great content.
I've watched several workbench build videos, and I really like the approach with the threaded rods. Thanks for showing the process and challenges along the way. I might do a similar build in the future.
I heard you can put salt between 2 pieces of wood that you want to glue together in order to prevent them from slipping ;)
Sorry if the english is not very good, I'm from france
Your English is very good. I wouldn't have known it was not your first language had you not told on yourself.
@@rudyschwab7709 Thank you :)
moi aussi
@@jimradz6583 it's not mine, I think I first so this idea on DIY Creators
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
I can't wait to build this bench Cody!! Really a great idea for a wooden bench.. lifetime bench i will hand down to my son. Or maybe i will make build him one as well.. Thanks for doing all the testing for us!
Using cauls covered in painter's tape or wax paper would have been a good idea as well. I've made many workbenches and never have regretted using cauls-- saves from hours of jointing and sanding.
Just a helpful tip. If you use saw dust or fine wood shaving on the bleed out of glue by smearing it on it, you can scrape it off with a paint/spackle scraper right after you smear it. I use this technique on my glue projects. Hope this helps you in the future if you use it.
Best wranglerstar series I can remember
going to be a great bench top. My father had a bench with a similar style top that he and my grandfather built, even used allthread same as you, but he didn't have it glued. When i bought my own house with a shop he handed the bench down to me but not before undoing the allthread and replacing a few of the boards that had taken a bit of a beating such as the fascia board and one or 2 that were about 7-8 inches from the edge which he described as the main "work zone". That bench has seen a lot of use and i have replaced a board here and there. I think going without glue would have been the better bet but its going to do Jack well regardless.
@@christinaperez254 wasnt intending for this to be a "he shoulda done this" comment. Was just saying how ours was done. everyone does their stuff different and in the end its still going to be a rock solid bench.
I was thinking about the one my grandpa had. Allthread on each end an one in the center, and the other two were rebar that didnt come through the front and back board...didnt know they were there until we replaced a couple 2×'s when i was a kid. I remember asking why he didnt just make them all match, he gave the best answer i could've imagined..he said boy, i used 3 pieces of thread and some rebar cause i had 3 pieces of thread and some rebar. Damn i miss that old man.
Less than thirty seconds into the glue up I was just like. Oh my Cody. What have you done 😂
Easier to let the glue set a little then scrape away with putty knife. Wiping with rag is always a messy disaster.
Look for the difference in life. You're making a difference. I glean good stuff from every video. Whether I know anything or not, I remain teachable and good things happen. Thanks brother
I'm not a very religious guy but Happy Sabbath to you and your family and this is another great video, I can't wait to see the finished product and I can only hope one day to build one of my own and have a place like yours to put it in.
At least you doubled the amount of glue needed for this process. Built my work bench and used less than two quarts. Made mine in 12” wide sections so I could run it through the Dewalt power plane. Don’t know what you even need the all thread. If you clamp until the glue is dry you will never get them apart without a saw. Adding a caul board on each end will flatten the boards and reduce planing.
actually, it was hilarious for a moment when we thought you might have cut the all-thread too short...
Plastic , serrated putty knives are good for spreading a lot of glue quickly. Wait for the glue to set a bit, then scrape with a paint scraper.
I enjoyed your struggles Cody. Looking forward to the planing and truing up.
Taking it in smaller sections would also help prevent the frenetic, 'flight of the bumblebee' glue up. :)
That is to say, use the threaded rod for clamping, or even supplement with clamps, but glue up a half dozen or so, push in the rods, clamp either with clamps or the nuts, give those boards a couple hours to set up, then remove the nuts and/or clamps, thread on another half dozen boards, wash, rinse, repeat. Makes for a lot less stressful glue-up.
Best advice. Could have done 2 halves a little thicker and run them through a planer then glue the 2 halves together. Then only 1 joint to smooth out.
One of the things I like about you and your videos are that you aren't perfect but you are honest about it. That is much more inspiring!
I wanna say something to you Sir off topic to this build. I wanted to know if you intend to ever do more dovetail work in the future. Yes, I am well aware that it is time consuming. After all it was your video that inspired me to practice dove tail woodworking and then proceeding to get more tips from Paul S. So Thank You for that. It was the best decision in woodworking I have made.
Made a similar bench but did not glue the 2x4s, just the allthread. Lots of sanding with a belt sander to smooth the top. Added a 1x4 edge raised a bit around the perimeter to hold a masonite top in place. Masonite gets replaced as it gets beat up.
For gluing a project like that, it is easiest to lay several boards side by side with the surface to be glued on top. Spread the glue out over multiple boards at the same time, then turn them upright to be clamped, or in your case, bolted together. This reduces the amount of time the glue has to start curing without being sandwiched between two boards.
Great looking, really enjoyed that your rite a work bench for life!!!!!
Genius way of making a work bench..well done..great ideas.
Fantastic. This is definitely on my list.
Cody, I can't believe you didn't have a paint tray or some old plastic container and a 3 inch paintbrush or one of those sponge brushes you love so much. You made that a lot harder than it had to be.
I've been waiting for this video. Please keep uploads like this coming mr. wranglerstar. Amazing content. Cheers from Ontario, Canada!
I use an old 32 oz squeeze ketchup bottle to glue up. Empty it, clean and fill. It works great.
Great video! Two things, sir! Use some wax paper between your bench and the sawhorses....to keep them from bonding. Us east-coasters would scrape up and save that extra glue for our hairpieces!!! Wasteful!!! :P
Roller for glue and lay as many as will fit on the saw horses oriented properly to just flip on side and push together after rolling them all, then lay out the next bunch next to those, so on and so forth, but love the simple but strong bench top you’ve made!
With the all-thread method you don't have to glue up all the boards at once. You could do half or a third of them, let it cure and finish up the rest the next day. Just put a nut in the middle of the rod and and leave the unused side hanging out one end. Would take a bit longer but way less stress.
Thank you for doing this without the clamps, this is exactly how I will make my bench happen in the next week or so.
Brilliant 😃 I laughed so much haha.
Well done Cody you got it together before it set on you.
That'll be one solid sturdy butcher block counter top.
That'll be bomb proof when the glue dries.
Man that was funny..
People be like... omg there's more glue on the left saw horse than I have in my shop!!! 😂😃
To hell with em Cody you do your thing ☺
Just a note, check Matthias Wendells video on glue starvation on overly tight joints. I would probably really crank down on the all-thread nut unless I'd seen his video. You want it tight, but not enough where you displace the majority of the glue. Done right, and that glue is unarguably stronger than that white wood (doug/fir).
I could listen to that intro all day
(...It's a metallica song.)
“Throws hammer down” That’s how a mechanic treats tools, usually followed by “its under warranty”
Its a hammer so it can take a beating wich its supposed to give
Hmmm...I happen to throw my hammer dow, hard, several times, every time I use it. It doesn't seem to be any worse for wear. Isn't that the whole point of a hammer.
I drive full size semi so "Hammer Down, Don't look back "!!!! Jus' get me home before sunset Friday!!!!
I usually follow a thrown down hammer a few minutes later with, "Where did that &#@%ing hammer go???"
My dad threw my hammer down once. It's stuck in a rock in the middle of nowhere. You know how funny it is to watch west coast guys try to lift it from the rock?
When gluing...put all your 2x4s down side by side ( if you have long pipe clamps ..snug them up to accommodate any warping ) use an old used wide paint brush to spread your glue..i.e. glue them all at once.
Would it be a good idea to water the 2x4s before gluing to have some more working time? Just hose them down before applying the glue?
Cool that you mention the Sabbath. 👍😀
My garage floor looked the same way with all the glue. Glad you realized about the glue and the sawhorses!
Beautiful job, thanks for the knowledge and info. I am definitely going to make one of these beautiful piece of art after this Thanksgiving, I have a four day weekend cleaning out my garage so I can build my dream work shop. God Bless you and your family
You gotta get one of those Rockler glue rollers. They're a life and mess saver.
Glue-up trick from Next Level Carpentry - wait until the glue just starts to set up but is not hard and scrape it off with a big 2-handed paint scraper
suggestion for applying glue on that much area - use a 2" paint roller. I've seen that done, but not had a reason to try it myself.
What size is your work shop building that you are at ?.that's a nice touch of the clear window type I see in the background. Thanks for your sharing the work table.
I built the poor man's workbench with you a couple years ago. I plan to build this one too. Almost too much for one man, but we all learned a lot.
Awesome table top can't wait to see it finished.
YESSSSSSS LOVE THE OPENING MUSIC NOTHING ELSE MATTERS!!! these vids have all my favorite things your vids are my favs
I love how you put LocTite back in the vlogs. You should hide it in various places as an Easter Egg. It gives me a laugh.
Turned out pretty cool!
Nice work, I like the build. Just an idea, about 3 ruts or grooves could be cut into the joining pieces to let the glue run into them to make the joints extremely stronger. Although this would be more work.
So these videos did not play in order and I see that in a later video that you ended up just pulling those long bolts out and not use them. I think this was probably just an idea you had and then later decided to go a different direction (we have all done that) but is there a reason you needed to use those long bolts initially rather than just long clamps to hold it all together until the glue dried? Thanks for your feedback. Love your channel.
Happy Sabbath to you and your blessed family! We are praying for you all. Please pray for my husband and I and our family too! We appreciate your honesty and real deal videos challenges and all.
Work is moving right along. Enjoy your Sabbath.
Lacquer and sand dust for filler trowl fill the entire top it will also help you find hi's and low's of the boards and fill knots. And other imperfections. Thats what the old time wood floor guys would use. As others have already stated a roller or brush would work faster for the glueing
Only suggestions for the next time....
Lay all the boards on their side, push em together and spread the glue in one go and then feed the rods in as the flip the glue side over.
Clamping cauls covered in packing tape on the ends keep things nice and flat.
Build a flattening box and use a router to flatten the surface.
Love the music and of course the video
Great job Cody, I really appreciate the way you carry on, working through any issues that may come up, you know like real life, prayers for you and your family
I am sweating just watching that. Looks awesome. I have two cheap ones but if I needed another in the future I may just do something like this. Of course I need to do your 6 foot cleaning method to make my workshop more usable. :)
And 4:49 lol looks good Cody. Love these videos
Nice solo work. It takes a lot do this on camera, show everyone what not to do and still people “ you should’ve” “ it would have been easier if” etc. you’ve done good the all thread is a great idea. 🇺🇸🤙🏻💪🍻🤝🇺🇸
Cody, man you had me stressing out over here…edge of my seat type of stuff, only thing missing was the dramatic music.
Great job!
For more efficient glue use you could put the boards under the gluing area before starting so the drips would fall on the next boards, if you stack a few layers on their side underneath they should fit and get the glue on the right spots, the only problem is picking everything up from the ground which would definitely be harder on the back and you still wouldn't save it all. The wasted glue is probably better than a wasted back
cody ive watched you for a long time and it took me a moment to catch on, with that being said kudos buddy the skill it takes to demonstrate and film this planned chaos is impressive
Your videos popped up yesterday evening, so I started watching, guess when i was looking at workbenches helped. Anyway, very interesting to watch you build and commentary as you go, thanks for taking the time to make these, it will help out.
Did you happen to see the workbench video I did?
@@ChrisGilliamOffGrid yes, just started watching.
Hand planing!? Builds character and you’re a better man than I am! I built a bench like this and it’s the reason I own an electric ⚡️ hand plane!
I worked in the factory as a supervisor that made Titebond wood glue. Columbus, OH, Franklin International. All I have to say is you’re using way too much glue. The glue only has to saturate the fibers. Too much glue will put too much of a glue surface between the boards and the glue works best having contact with the cells on the wood, not by trying to hold itself together. My two cents.
I tend over use a bit as well. I understand what you are saying, but that is what the clamp pressure is for, to squeeze out the excess glue. If the joint isn't a perfect planed surface, wouldn't you say that the glue holding to its self is better that two lightly coated surfaces that aren't even touching?
Also if you watch some of Mathias Wandel's wood glue test videos, which are very well done, it may change your mind a bit.
Chris Hoesing To each his own, but those boards took a bath in glue. 😂
Oh wow I didn’t even know it’s from Columbus!
Such a refreshing series.
Cody, great project table. I'm wondering if you flipped this to clean the other side? I didn't see hear if you did that. No complaints here just admiration . Your doing great. Cant wait to see the finished project.
What an awesome ministry brotha! Love the vids... I’ve learned a lot from you and appreciate the education and remote fellowship👍
Fantastic work. Just to clarify, the threaded rods were used in lieu of clamps? Do they have any other purpose once installed?
They will be left in the bench top as concealed fancy fastener fittings.........
The whole time I was watching this I was thinking how much it would have helped to have another person helping you. Great job but pretty intense.
Should have just used a cheap paint brush to apply the glue. Most of the wasted drip was from using the putty knife. Would also have put one edge on the floor and cleaned the bottom side of the bench to remove the excess glue.
