Small Garage Organization: Cheap Workbench Build
It’s a shop stool bud.
Great job man , you should make plans for it, and sell them.
What is that red thing every time I pull mine it hits that I can’t find the name of the oart
Which brand and model of tie rod puller is that at 3:07?
Probably the cheapest one I could find honestly. It’s been awhile sorry
What are the dimensions of the legs?
Next Time try an adjustable oil wrench instead of zip ties
The red piece that goes into the back of the pull start and acts as a stopper has a little metal spring can I ask you where that spring goes
I'm having issues with the same thing. I've seen a few videos that that piece wasn't on... maybe they took it off because it's a pain in the ass?
I’m having the same problem what is this thing called and what dose it do?
I’ve rebuilt mine several times and it still won’t rewind I can’t figure out for the life of me what is wrong
Good job.I would like to know where you got the manual, as I am looking for one for a 1982 15hp Evinrude 2-stroke. Thank you.
It’s been a long time but I probably got it off eBay. We’ll have to see if anyone comments with better info sorry
Interested to know what the dimensions of the table top are... thanks
Also, did you use a pre-stain?
@jiannilazaga8471 no pre-stain but depending on how you feel about stained pine…I’m sure there are splotchy areas. There was never anything bad enough to bother me or my wife. As for dimensions I think I just trimmed the ends of 8ft 2x4s after glue up and the width is 9 boards across.
@@markbuilds thanks!
the linkage may have been right but your idle jet not set right,, the idle jet is an engine tune adjustment, and the trolling speed knob on the side is a fine tuning linkage adjustment,.
Looks awesome! But how can I explain to my wife that I need a Festool Domino to build this when you built it with pocket screws??? 😂
lol one day I’ll have one of those
A hard job
Hello Yao 😄 are the cooooolest guy on you tube. Awesome.
That spot that you think is the idle section of the cam, is actually the spot that the butterfly in the carburetor opens up... Just FYI
Should I use hose clamps or zip ties??
Zip ties don’t rust! Never leaked for me
Nice build.
Thanks!
Nice work!
Thanks!
Sometimes it's better to flatten by going with the grain. It eliminates the trouble of getting rid of the streaks while sanding. For the bottom slats/cross supports, it looks better with 45 degree cuts at the ends. It's a way of hiding them better.
Great advice thanks!
friend I have the same engine johnson 15 year 1978. How do I find the manual? I need a manual for this engine. Thankful if you can help me. God bless you.

Como puedo obtener el manual de este motor. Gracias.
Are you able to please share the bushings that you purchased? I am having trouble finding reputable information. Thanks!
great video mate, got the issue with strating the laptop. the funny thing is in the summertime while the temperature is higher i havnt got trouble starting the laptop. when autum / winter with lower temperature the laptop doesnt start, not even the light for the push botton lighting green. so i thought thats it with the bloody laptop and than i thought it happened because of temperature. so what i tried i hold the laptop over a toaster to heat up the whole thing and i was very surprised that after 2 min. i was able to start it again. so that happened quiet a few times i since than i decided to leave the laptop on during the colder temperatures. now i saw your video and wondering if its exatly that bloody batterie ive got to change? what do you mention? thanks for feedback
Must be pretty cold! I have no idea, let me know if you figure it out
@@markbuilds its not a big temperature difference....in nz northland but it that much that it creates a problem to start it
Replacing the thermal paste might help
MY JHONSON ENGINE DOESN'T WANT TO HOLD AT IDLE OR START VERY EASILY WHAT COULD IT BE? I'M FROM BRAZIL
For my early 1990 Johnson 15. If your low speed needle is set at 1.5 turns out and does not work for idle or anywhere near it, it can be 3.5 turns out! With much searching, I could only find the answer from a comment. Low and behold it's idling! Make sure your throttle cable is set right and lines up with the timing mark behind the carbs Oh and it's all easy peasy work after removing starter. Good luck 🤞🏻
Is it that gauge
The gauge making the noise? I don’t think so, it was fine before
You have a bad pin that hooks the Piston to the rod
It ran fine without this noise prior to the head rebuild, does that change anything with this response? It just seems weird to me that I would suddenly have bottom end issues
@@markbuilds go to O'Reilly's or AutoZone see if you can rent a borescope from them to look inside the cylinder take your spark plug out look inside the cylinder and look at all your pistons see if something's hitting on them but it really sounds like a wrist pin knock cuz it's got a double knock
Sounds like a rod or a bad valve
As in a bent rod? Bent valve? I rebuilt the head, lapped everything, new seals
Might need a carb clean
It backfired a bit but I think I’ve got worse issues then a misadjusted carb. Unless that can cause clacking?
You put new spark plugs and adjust the carburetor right?
Not yet no, exhaust temp looked the same on all cylinders, and listening to the exhaust doesn’t sound like a misfire
Do a compression leak down test
I’ll look into it, thanks
Compression check. Inspect ignition system. Could very well be an ignition problem. Check valve adjustment. Then check for a collapsed lifter or flat cam lobe.
Thanks, compression was 135-140 on all
Tear the motor down and find out
Might have to but definitely don’t want to
@markbuilds yeah forsure. Not to much it could be, timing chain, main bearings or a rod bearing. Youll get it man. Just make sure its not something crazy first haha👍
Spray the base of the carb with carb cleaner while its running. Idle will change
Vacuum issue would cause clacking?
@@markbuilds A big one could... imagine a large gap with a carb gasket loose in the gap. Youve made a duck call. Ultimately, its just a guess. But I am interested in the ultimate solution.
I’ll give it a shot, I had to take the carb and manifolds off so it could be!
rod or main bearing would be my first guess.
:(
It ran fine before the head rebuild without this noise. Do you think I could suddenly have bottom end issues like that?

How stiff is the front side from racking side to side?
It definitely had some racking, the 45 braces at the back helped a lot. I just used wood screws through the legs into the table top, I would definitely use inserts and bolts if I were to do it again, I think that would also help a lot. For a desk it worked fine, but I wouldn’t want to do anything with it that required a lot of forces on the table
Yoh should hit that thing with a ton of sanding that should improve it overall
Great job! Learned a ton. Don't forget to say like and subscribe! You earned it. And will help grow your channel. Thanks Mark! P.S. will we get to meet Katie one day?
Lol we’ll see if she can be convinced!
Thanks Mark. Thrilled to find a DIY' channel with basic tools and cheap supplies and improvization. Love that you left the out-takes in ❤️ subscribed
Thanks, hoping to post more projects soon!
I would build it with self closing hinges
Definitely a great idea! We prefer to leave it open unless we need to use it
Looks great. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
Very helpful helped me build my own desk
Yay!
Don't waste your time on this video. Doesn't complete the install. Not sure why it's posted.
If you wanted a desk this basic you could have spent 20$ at good will... your desk isn't custom, clever or unique. Not even a single shelf? I am very very confused. You can get a free desk topper for free off craigslist/facebook. Was the point of this to waste time and money and then stick "cheap" on it as a label? I'm not criticizing just genuinely confused at this much wasted effort/time.
Thanks for the fredback
I think he learned a few things here and allowed himself to build something for his home. That alone is worth the sweat and time. I'm sure his wife appreciate his handy work and many viewers may be inspired to make something with minimal tools.
And we’re still using it!
bro remove tires makes life easier <3
Thanks for this, as a beginner I really learned a lot (eg offsetting dowels- so sensible but would never have occured to me until my first fail). Cheers!
Happy to help!!
That vacuum line needs to be the original tube. It is available. I had same problem fixed the same way with a large line. Had vacuum issues after. Put new original design in, problems went away.
Interesting! Thanks!
"Annnnd it's gone..." was great!!! Great video, my 2000 XJ noise is same!!! Good work!!!
