I've watched tons... tons of workbench videos. This one seems like the most innovative I've seen in a LONG time.
Great Stuff!
Iilå
Lmao 731 woodworking did this exact same bench
Wow wow wow, match fit system changes everything. No need in t-tracks. Genius!
Wow - blown away. As a woodworker of around 20 years, this video is keeping me up late at night - can't get enough. Tuesday I'm straight to the local shop to pick up my new MatchFit gear and make some of these wonderful tools. Many thanks Jay and cheers from Sydney, Aust - Dave
I have the Match-fit system and so far all I did was use it on my table saw fence attachment and my home slot mortiser. Now I have a ton more do. So helpful. this is a great system. Thanks Jay
Jay & Mike thanks for the ideas. I love the MatchFit system and plan to use it everywhere in my new shop so that I can make whatever jig I need without buying t-track. Dennis at Hooked on Wood also uses this system throughout his shop as well and it makes a small shop very adaptable.
Besides all the goodies, u choose some absolutely gorgeous wood. The grain is awesome.
2 quick thoughts: First you can expand your ability to clamp longer pieces against the front edge by leaving the front left leg straight. That gives you back some of the versatility of the full size bench. Also, I have made a number of sliding dovetails, and one thing that reduces strain on the router (motor, bearings, etc.) is to rout first with a 1/4 inch straight bit. Then go back with the appropriate dovetail bit.
I wondered the same regarding a straight leg or a three leg horse being better for edge work on boards and panels.
Very innovative, I like it does seem like the clamps will always be in the way but I'm sure one would get use to them.
Great accessories. Even the 1st end stop could be made into a moxon vice with thicker longer screws, big washers & slots to raise up & down
Stuck spline wedge, have you tried a spreading wedge? a long shallow wedge can produce a bunch of force, 2 can produce even more.. I've bent steel using wooden wedges.
Great idea Jay!
This is so good, so useful. I think this will also make a great 'bench' for the kids when they want to come hang out in the shop and just play with some bits of wood and feel like they're part of it
I really like this entire project and I can foresee a couple of adjustments for an outfeed roller for my table saw. the tool caddy is a great idea and a couple router passes on an assembly table would make it easy to transfer around the shop. It would be great to see it used as a helping hand when you are making other projects and to see where the functionality can go.
I think this will be the first time I actually spend money on project plans. usually I just watch the video a couple times and sketch out the idea.
Very beautiful. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep Making. God Bless.
Well designed and thought out. I am getting as many Matchfit Microjig ideas that I can. I want my Kreg Workbench frame to be the best design I can afford.
Your Matchfit Accessories are unique and your Work Horse design could also function as an out feed table. Loving your website.
i built all this with yellow pine- just wanted to share that my microjig clamps kept popping out of the dovetailed tracks. this was after a couple months. the pine just started breaking down. just wanted to share!
This has some real imagination behind it. I’m impressed. Actually watching further this has some properly diabolically cool features. I don’t need one, but I have a friend who absolutely needs this
Ok Jay now I am a fan of this project.. I will be building this for sure ...
WOW, simplicity rules!
This workbench is great…. Good work
Very unique and well thought out!!
Great video. I recently made the matchfit workbench, and found your video last night. I couldn't resist, and built out a few of the simpler accessories you talk about here today to great success. One comment/suggestion for others following suit. For the simple wedge and stop, while I was able to get decent hold from the way you build it, since my bench also has a cross-hatch set of slots on its top (unlike your workhorse here which just has them along the top length), I found it more stable to to slide the stop in a perpendicular slot to get the mechanical strength of the slot vs. the friction fit you show. However, this then means you need to make the wedge and stop larger, since their combined width needs to be able to span up to the size of the grid (4" for me). The simple trick I used was to have a rectangular stop who's "center" hole was placed such that it was 2" longer to one of the beveled sides than the other, so for a shorter gap use one orientation and for a longer gap use the other, and then the wedge spans the other 2" from its narrowest to widest position. Was able to accomplish this with a 4.5" long stop, and 12" wedge keeping them very manageable in size. I'm still a relatively new woodworker, so there may be even simpler solutions out there, but this worked well for me.
Great ideas Jay, thanks for sharing.
Jay, you've done it again. AWESOME! video!
@4:29 the science, in the event that any one is curious, its about surface area, more area = more grip
Awesome build, i think i might try to adapt one for my drop saw and out-feed supports
In appearance reminds me of a Moravian Workbench. If a serious but still portable workbench is what you want, check out the Moravian Workbench.
Your presented workhorse project is really slick. Well done! I like the Matchfit hardware and I willl build some of your accessories to use with a workbench, both traditional workbench and Moravian Workbench. Thanks for a great project!
I just finished making mine with your plans. Thank you.
I used it today as a shooting board. I clamped the pieces that I needed a perfect 90 deg surface on on a thin piece of stock to lift the piece up to the blade of the hand plane. The match fit clamps held short and long pieces as needed for my project. Really happy with this bench. Highly recommended.
Nice project looks super useful 👍
Dude. I love this thing. I definitely have to build this.
Good stuff, Jay!
Wow, super nice upgrades.
Great ideas. Thank you for the video.
Great project, thanks!!
Thanks for sharing those tips!
Absolutely love this.
My only improvement would be to make user side legs at 90 degrees instead of splayed so that it could be used for larger pieces with deadman. Awesome design to say the least.
Add a leg vise and a tray over the back legs and it’s a traditional design
Una obra de arte, un lujo. Saludos desde Uruguay
Great video. Thank you for sharing
Interesting and informative. Thank you!
I've not seen this before today. Really interesting and worth a try.
Great content, Jay. Keep it up!
Awesome!!!! Great Job!!!! Thank You!!! 👍😎😃👏
Very good...well done
New subscriber well deserved! Great project for beginners like me!
Awesome system..
Great ideas!!
Some great ideas.
Maybe you could try some steam to re-hydrate/soften the pine on your wedge thing. Always wax (bee or parafin not paste) any wood-on-wood sliding stuff regardless of purpose. I had a 100year old dresser with seasonal drawer sticking; added wax and gently worked it in with a heat gun and cork block (like for x-country skis) and voila! No more sticking for 30 years now. Cheers
This is pretty slick
Very good idéal !!!
Briliant!
Impressive!
Good Very, parabéns, escelenty fantástico. Brasil
awesome video
Hammer a wedge in the end of your wedge in the hole showing through it and you should be able to rework that piece instead of scrapping it.
"but wait, there's more!"
Where's billy maze when you need him!
didnt he die from a coke overdose?
I thought it was a heart attack🤷
@@jcsmith800 yeah, from doing too much blow!
Sharp!
Seems like those clamps would be a huge pain to work around sticking out that far
And the sawhorse is so slim, that you can just clamp it across the whole top and let the handles stick out on the far side
Amazing instructions. Nice to listen too as well. Any chance these will be available in metrics in the future?
Jay. Very informative. I’ve been using MatchFit clamps on a small work bench and drill press table. I find that the slots fill up with sawdust and the clamps become difficult to move. I do blow out the dust with a compressor but I was wondering if you have any tips to avoid this as much as possible. Thanks
Do the old hammer trick like put a handle on axe head but do it reverse should take that wedge out.
Brilliant! I hope you’re sponsored already. This bridges me away from the hole options. 😀👍
Can you plane down or sand to clean up or face the workhorse with the dovetail grooves? Or would you have to replace the whole top?
Ever make a tool/work bench that becomes its own storage/transport crate?... I'm thinking pickup truck or atv workshop or jobsite setup.
Hey thanks for making the video. Could you clarify your point @5:00 where you say if there's no stock between the vise board and the bench, the clamp will pull out of the dovetail slot?
this is a great Idea and affordable . Is there a way to put the dead man hold on the end of the bench ?
Any regrets in not having one or two legs not splayed out to facilitate planing larger boards or panels?
Or alternatively a three legged sawhorse with the same goal?
Nice build by the way.
That isn't a Moxon block. It is clearly a bloxon vise.
Put the wedge unit in the oven or microwave to dry the wood out. It'll slide out.
Why no locking pin or something for the bottom shelf? with other stuff lining up with it.. I'd be figuring that out then putting a pin or something in it. maybe something that locks to the leg from underneath or something.
Good design! However funtionality would be much, much improved if one pair of legs were straight down flush with face of top. This way a board could be clamped on face that extends past the legs and ends of workhorse and vertically. The back two legs could be flared out 5° more.
Micro jig match fit 1.5” DT hardware. USA - $11.99. UK - $23.11. The UK price includes 20% VAT but even after deducting that, the cost of transporting across the pond does not account for the difference.
Is that just a set of 4 Screws, knobs and washers? I saw it a set of 4 in Australia for ~$11.50us or ~£8.10. But for two clamps it costs ~$53us ~£37
Insert a wooden dowel into the version 1 wedge clamp finger-hole and tap the wedge out.
I was thinking the same, except I would cut a wedge that fits the gap. Then just pound the wedge to drive it out.
But then I saw the suggestion to put the wedge assembly in the oven on lowish heat for a few hours. If that works, bazinga.
So, Where is the container for all these accessories that one would want to have, to keep everything together so that one doesn't have to roam the shop collecting up these accessories to take to a a jobsite? I was wondering this as the video progressed!
Do the matchfit clamps come with a ratchet option? The festool/Bessey clamps have made me lazy.
Haven't tuned in in a while. It looks like you've lost a good chunk of weight. If it was planned for, congrats!

12:45 What about adding the groves to the legs themselves so you could utilize the legs as a clamping space? Or is that a bad idea? It wouldn't be perpendicular to the other surfaces, but if you needed to clamp a large piece to work on it maybe
It wouldn't hurt anything to add grooves there.
Do you have less or slower wood shrinkage by treating southern yellow pine with boiled linseed oil?
No clue. I've never done a side by side test.
I just did my first matchfit pass with that router bit. And I really don't like it. But still a cool work bench I would use it if it was on a jobsite but the clamps and what not are to expensive and diy clamps are a pain. But I learn or realised something watching this so hell yeah.
im suspicious that those t-track are going to last with work holding clamps and such, wont they split an break easily over time?
I suppose you could just router out a new wider dado, glue in a piece of wood and then put in a new dovetail groove.
12:05 locator dowels?
What handsaw is that?
It’s obviously a Bloxon vise.
Okay, okay! You convinced me! I bought the plans. You happy now?! (I am)
I watched alot of portable bench videos. This looks very but I like the bench design by 3xe Tamar. This design has too much going on and take too much time setting thing up. For me I prefer bench dogs, bench clamps and vice.
Very nice jay. Challenge time. The Matt estlea dovetail speed record who beat Rob cosmans record and challenge to all woodworkers to anyone who can beat it. Check it out
does it never rain where you are?
I got excited when you bumped the wedge and that held the workpiece straight up, if all the work I did was in the middle of an IKEA box store I might make this bench but my experience with wood must be sub par to someone who would trust those clamps in a dovetail
that's amazing milling, magical even... leave the window open on a rainy day that thing squeaks
33rd.
Are you ex Navy Jay? I see a Coast Guard sticker too.
I saw this on ig claiming about copy work but i think this mini workbench is completely different from that sawhorse.
8:20 Rather than try to pull the wedge out of your jig, push it out. Make two wedges that will fit into the small hole at the narrowest point of the stuck part of the jig. Insert the two wedges into the hole, one on either side, as if you were using opposing shims to level a cabinet. Using a mallet, gently tap the sacrificial wedges into that hole. As the wedges are driven in, they should push the larger wedge out of the jig.

You look like you've lost a lot of weight. You healthy? Or just being healthier?
Lost 45 pounds in 2020 from nutrition changes only. Zero exercise. In 2021 I started body weight exercises and in the end of March I started lifting sand and wood and anything I had around the house that was heavy. Check out my website for Home Gym Part 1 where I talk about it.

19:50 Why does everyone make the pins and tails such different sizes? That just makes it look weird. IMHO pins and tails should be (close to) the same size.
It shows you made it by hand. The pins are too small to have been done by a router, thus signifying it's hand made. Also more difficult / sign of skill to make them that small.
personal aesthetic choice mostly. Since they could fail if done wrong, tiny pins can be a way of showing off your precision and skill as a woodworker. Sizes and ratios that can't be achieved with machines are preferred by some for the show of craftsmanship, but most people wont realize what they are looking at, and many of those that do probably wont really care either.
nice article by paul sellers on dovetails: paulsellers.com/2018/01/dovetail-sizing-keep-simple/
Over engineered I'm surprised it doesn't have 8 legs
I wish you would show the moxon block in use and furthermore not assume all viewers are experienced woodworkers for whom this stuff is self-explanatory.
Blablablablabla 👎👎👎
