Paul sellers Stick trick for fitting a vice is to clamp a scrap of wood so the lower piece touches the ground and use that to take the weight while bolting in. Takes the weight and infinately adjustable.
When my get up & go comes back from it's holidays, I have a storage shed needs a reorder, big time! I may use up some of my pallet wood 'overstock' to build a work surface and hiddie holes. Thanks for bringing us along. PS I agree with yer assessment, the top is to dark, but needs must. Take care & stay safe Matt & family.
Hi Matt, nice finish on your workbench like the colour, a very solid build, i would not worry about the blocks in the bench vice being off I would call it character. As always a great video, catch you soon take care
Now that is a workbench, work-holding is a critical component of any bench, can't beat those old Record vices. I agree on the dog holes - too many can be a pain, I would be forever losing small items down them, it's all personal choice though so each to their own ! Good choice not to lie under the vice to fit it Matt, clamps are more reliable than friends and they don't drink all your booze ! 😉
I agree about the annoying nature of holes allowing stuff to fall through. I've seen spring loaded retractable dog pegs, I wonder if anyone has created ones that could go through from below tight enough to stay, but loose enough that you could knock the through from above, but attached to short strings so that they aren't lost.
I think your right mat too many holes will cause more problems than they solve it's very tempting to produce something along the lines of a parf bench top but is it really nesasery
I am with you on that point about to many holes I got a mft that I got given to me and I loved it at first but I do think there is to many but I want to fill some in but with out completely Ruining the bench
Nice bench upgrade .. fits the space .. Point of concern .. at the 7.57 time stamp .. your Left-Hand Thumb !!!! Makes for a Helluva Target for that hammer head. Back in the day my journey man would have given you a "Thick Ear" and tell you to "Hold it Properly, move your bloody thumb"
Hey Matt, did you see any downsides for mounting the vice with the back jaw flush with the front of the bench? Could be useful for holding longer boards reqiring a second clamping point to the front of the bench.

That's a great bench Matt.
I especially like the fact you didn't bother trimming off the round overs on the wood, gives it some character.
Thank you
Great job finishing it up!
great workbench well done, I would have recommended finishing it in a lighter colour for Video's.

I think my get up and go has emigrated.
Looks awesome Matt. Also, your happiness with the project is contagious!
Thank you very much
Looking forward to seeing all the tool boxes and accessories fitted under the workbench there is an amazing amount of space
Thank you. Yes so much storage
After seeing several stages of your work benches, I hate to say I am learning from your mistakes and I can pick one that suits my need. Thank you.❤
I’m glad someone is learning from them
That's a great bench now Matt with so many options. It looks fab too.
Thank you very much
That's brilliant, Matt! Really well done! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you very much

Looking forward to see how the holdfasts do on the pine top. Good vid matt 👍
Hi Matt, that bench is looking absolutely fantastic, you are certainly dedicated to what you do, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les
Thank you Les
Well done. I'm enjoying this series on the work bench. Thanks
Thank you
Oh, massive improvement! Nice work.
Luvly jubbly. The holdfasts are great - so simple but so effective
Thank you

I definitely have more clamps then friends

The final evolution bench.
I hope so

neat, clean, tidy, semi-short... your vids are like my morning underwear (could not find another positive metaphor unfortunately but it is legit!)
Looks very good 👍🏼
Thank you
That bench looks fecken mighty Matt ✊
Thank you very much
Title has typo!
Where’s the link to the dogs?
I am with you on that point about to many holes I got a mft that I got given to me and I loved it at first but I do think there is to many but I want to fill some in but with out completely Ruining the bench
That looks really good
Thank you
Hi were did you get the drill bit from its brilliant
Thanks

Your workbench looks lovely and usable.
But where can I get that drill bit you're using?
Thank you. I got it many years ago so I have no idea
Looks way too pretty for a workbench!
What will be the first project you make on this bench, Matt?
I’m have made a few things already. It’s got a few marks on it now. You will see soon
@@Badgerworkshop Aww, "the first cut is the deepest..." isn't that what they say? Looking forward to seeing the projects!
Hey Matt, did you see any downsides for mounting the vice with the back jaw flush with the front of the bench? Could be useful for holding longer boards reqiring a second clamping point to the front of the bench.
Just that I would have to chop out a large section of the bench frame to fit it
that vise is gonna hurt, sticks out so much
That dark stain and wax makes it look like something you'd see in an cathedral or something.
Thank you
👍👍👍. Thank you Matt
Thank you
