Thank you, some useful observations other reviews didn't mention

Sir, you are a true inspiration ❤❤❤

“Bigger is better” somehow I thought that would be your conclusion but watching your testing was good content. The CMT ORANGE products (in my experience with their saw blades) are in the superior brand category. That is quite an impressive machine you have!

Nice kit I like the options of changing the shelf orientation. Is this available in the USA?

I like that new work surface.

I just discovered your channel today searching for dust collection and WorkMate videos. So I subscribed and began looking at all of your work starting with the intro video. It will be fun and informative watching your content! Thank you.

That is a nicely done upgrade. I’ve a very old WorkMate 300 that I made a 3/4”x4’x2’ light duty top with a 2x4 spanning the center section that the WorkMate clamped in place. These tool aide are able to accommodate many enhancements.

nice rework, interesting suggestions

Desnecessário ficar assim com a mão esquerda tão próxima da lixa, instigando outras pessoas a fazerem igual. Não vai perder a mão, mas pode machuca-la

Can a festool dust extractor work with this if I have a dust port adapter

bro i've got so much respect for you ! you made my day better, you prove that the human spirit is really incredible and that if there is a will there is a way, i can't even begin to imagine what life must be like for you without your eyes and yet you make it look so easy ! thank you !

that is a really nice system

As a blind woodworker and engineer I find this fascinating. Is the VFD unit a custom design or an off-the-shelf model?

I purchased this, tried it in a few projects, and returned it today. I don’t know what was wrong with it but it was leaving a horrible finish. Scratches everywhere.

Nooice!

Nooice!

picked up a free B&D clone bench. I liked & sub'd

would prefer no sun glasses & hat

Thanks for the update, good discussion of the variables when fiddling with the original design

Looks like an excellent upgrade. I'd really like to do something like this on my own workmate plus but the problem I have currently is the only storage place is up on a wall and even at stock weight it's pretty tricky to put it up and down. I made a separate worktop that clamps into the workmate jaws to extend it's working surface. This works well for some projects but of course I lose the function of the workmate vice and I have to store the extra worktop separately.

I had a couple of old workmates where the original tops failed. I modified them to just foldable work surfaces with 19mm plywood and one I welded a metal top so it became my portable welding table. I made a heavy steel horse with my vice at one end and a pipe vice at the other, yes I don’t have the variety of bench dog clamping abilities but in what I’d I don’t need it. I do like what you have done with your top.

I just made new jaws for mine out of 5 x 2, been like it for 25 years and been a great success. Enjoyed your process.

I have a few Workmates. They're all different models. I don't have one where the vise flips up though. They made so many different models of Workmates.

That's the same thickness and wood I used to upgrade mine. Works great. Thanks for sharing.

Great info Thanks for posting Could the fixings be screwed in the troughs of the sheets or not

You're an inspiration. I'm fully-sighted and fully able for my age (I wear glasses and also ache after a hard day's woodworking) but I get frustrated when I can't get something right. I can't imagine how you do so well and also cope with the frustration. I'm trying to find words to praise and encourage you without making it sound like you're "lucky" to be blind. I envy your mindset, but not your condition!

WHOOP-DOO-DOO!! Great review man 👍🏽

really looking forward to seeing the progress with this

Shit beard can’t you even grow a full

THX

Hi could anyone tell me what fuse this take s please

erm.....arrrrr.....errrm..... arr

You did very well. A lovely job. I have taken note how you did it. I have been looking on other TH-cam channels and they do not show a person on the roof. Now I know how it is done. Excelent job. I have a eyesight condition as I do not have Binocular vision from birth. I am also frightened of Heights. Even at shed height. I had my felt put on by a friend. it has ripped half off due to the winds we have had in South Derbyshire, In England. Have a lovely day and all the best Ron.

why not bottom and up ventilation?

Thanks for some great ideas !

Hope this gets read out to you Damien I'm a Carpenter and joiner and have been working in the trade for over 40 years and i find this craft hard at times as well when working on my own i have my full site but mate you are an inspiration to any body who thinks they can't do it wow wow you have blown me away i to have a channel on youtube and wish you could have seen our journey were i make all the things for our farmhouse here in France working with lovely timbers like oak, chestnut and currently working with tulip wood and red sequoia to make some windows and doors any way thank you for sharing your journey all the best Budo at french farmhouse diaries

Great video. I've been using my unit with bags, but the AFC always comes on regardless. I was wondering whether there is a way to switch off AFC by default and only turn it on when needed. It would save having to use two buttons everytime.

2 year no video..Hope you are allright m8!

I must say that I think you are pretty amazing to do what you do & your explanation of this first video is second to none & I will definitely be watching more of your videos for when I want to learn how to make things.

Thank you. I appreciate your upgrade idea.

Fantastic in depth review mate! Thanks! (High fiber porridge 🤣)

You are certainly big on sound effects 😅

can you show me how does this unit works?

is it effective?

does it work?

70 degrees Celsius?

A problem I’d never considered before with a great solution, thanks for the education 🙂

Loved the intro :) £250+ for the kit - ouch!

thanks, great review with many tips and potential issues that might occur during actual work. Cheers!

Damien, you are an inspiration! i was just browsing through reviews for B+D work benches as i was planning to buy one. and stumbled upon this video. and honestly I was feeling strange why are you no looking into the camera while you are speaking. Fooling of me not to realize until you said or not reading the name of your channel. I am beginner to wood working and you have made a great impression on me. Please keep up the good work and keep posting more videos. BTW this is a great idea and i am going to do the same on my new WB. cheers!
