A soon as I publish a video I usually remember something I meant to say. This time I forgot to mention I need to make a back screen to stop chips falling down the back of the workbench. I'll probably make that from the tin I took off the original workbench shelf. Also I will seal the inside of the drawers with a couple of coats of water based varnish. :)
One note about your welding, be careful how often you weld in shorts as the weld arc can be hot enough to actually give you sunburns with enough exposure.
Now you can use the mill to level the head of the vise you want to restore, it'd be an interesting follow up for both of them, either way excellent job on the bench!
Glad you enjoyed it! Sometimes when I do a project because it needs doing rather than trying to make a good video, I'm not sure how it will be received. :)
"It wasn't the most exciting project" - these practical shop improvement episodes are actually some of my favourites! I'm never going to build a wooden bladeless fan (still amazing to see you do it) but I can definitely see myself building a workbench, etc.
About restoring the vise. Dear Niel. I love all your vids. As long as you're in the shop and entertain us with your narration I could watch you sweep the floor and I would enjoy it.
On the contrary Pask, I love seeing revitalized workbenches that were in poor condition transformed into what you have made! No one would ever know how it used to look! Thank you!
"…Let me know if this is a video you would be interested in…" I would watch a video of you tying your shoelaces - so - Yes, a vise restauration done by you: INTERESTED! And on top of that: MILLING videos by Pask!!!! Can't wait to see your approach to this machine!
I seem to be part of a bygone time when everything that could be repaired was repaired. A lot of the younger generation just wants to replace something old, even if it is still in good condition, with something new. I like to see you repurpose things. Both of my grandfathers helped in teaching me to fix something instead of sending it to the junk pile. My sons are still amazed at what I try to fix before getting a new one.
Your youtube name is appropriate - when did the design of kettles prevent replacing the element? My Dad did ours in the early 60's, but I've never been able to mend a kettle in my lifetime - always have to buy a new one, at ever shorter intervals.
In a workshop drawers are one of life’s simple pleasure, lol. I like people that can look at something that would otherwise be seen as rubbish or trash and see its hidden potential. What a really great transformation!
Yes Pask, show us a video of everything you find that needs to be restored! I have watched all of your clips and i have learned alot and also been inspired myself to build! You are awesome!!
Was it an exciting project full of innovation? No. Was it still extremely satisfying to watch? YES! Love the result, it's no comparison to how it looked in the beginning :)
That’s the great thing about watching you work. I can sit here with my morning coffee and watch you work and when it is over, I feel like I’ve done something rewarding with my day. 😃
Huge respect for a man who can disassemble 60% of something and then rebuild it. I know I'd have struggled to stop myself breaking down the whole thing to rebuild it
Very well done. I believe that the best shop things are made or remade in the shop. I wish I had half of your creativity for this. And yes, of course make a video of the vise restoration.
that angle iron drawer handle idea was GENIUS. ive never seen that before. also the hot glue trick! this is why i love this channel i learn 20 amazing new tricks every video. pask is a master craftsman
I'll be honest. I was calling that table a lost cause when you showed the how it was originally built. I'm glad to be proven wrong. What a great rebuild! 👍
I found this very enjoyable as i spent forty years operating milling machines, lathes, punch presses and well all the things you visualize in a machine shop. The machine can be a very big plus with proper tooling and training. Good job.
It doesn't have to be a "thrill-a-minute" video in order to be satisfying, Neil. Your steadfast approach to the work and conversational narration make each video a winner. Some of your videos are more entertaining than others (a huge python in the workshop?!), but your channel's baseline is head and shoulders above so many others!
You say it's not the most exciting project, but it is. At least it makes me wanna go out to get my work bench in better shape. And with a nice work bench and equipment you get more energy for mor "exciting" projects. So please continue with both fixing workshop equipment as well as cool stuff. Thanks!
From the video photo it looked like the drawers were made from steel. Good job making them look like metal.I like videos like this that shows you can fix/alter existing equipment. Keep up the great work!
I never get tired of seeing your builds. That trick with the hot glue to hold the faceplates on the drawers is very slick. If I can ever learn how to build a drawer box that's square and true.... I'll have to remember give it a go!
We need to get you to 1 million subscribers. I always enjoy the videos. The transformation of the old bench to something new was amazing. I don't think the video was dull at all. Good luck and keep them videos coming.
Шикарно!!! Приятно вас смотреть, и учиться. Теперь хочу себе такую же мастерскую как у вас. Я начал столярное дело с кубиков для своих детей, теперь делаю двухэтажную кровать. И вы мне в этом очень сильно помогаете. Спасибо Вам БОЛЬШОЕ!
Pask, For the inside of the drawers, I would consider some kind of rubberized paint like a truck-bed coating. That way the drawer and tools tossed in there are protected. But it's your call of course. I think the angle iron for drawer pulls makes the whole project look like a professional tool cabinet. Really quite well done sir. I'd be more than proud to have either bench, or both, in my shop. Quality work. I may have left the front tubes open on the sides for somewhere to stick a tool or grounding clamp, but that's me. May not be a scrapwood challenge, but still a top shelf project. Thanks for sharing.
It was a great project because you turned an old makeshift table into a professional looking piece of kit. That’s exactly the type of thing I want to see as well as your normal stuff which is always spot on. I’ve seen gutsfulls of vice videos and would like to see your take on it. I can imagine it would be utilitarian but sharp as a coffin tack. Everyone needs a mate like Luke. Between me and my mate we’ve moved everything under the sun for each other and have never yet failed to quote the chuckle brothers every time we pick something up.
YES, please do the vice/vise thing. Good job. Good work. Good instruction ...always learn something.... A bit green watching you make stuff. Happy days. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing! Not boring, at all. You make installing draws look so simple, too. Much to take away from this one and store in the bank for my own future builds. Cheers brother!
That's what is all about... take an old metal bench a create something so functional and nice out of it. Another grate video Neil, very well done and yes please lets see that vise restoration, I have a Record #5 that needs to be restore too... Thanks mate !!!
Another very informative presentation. Thank you very much for recording and sharing these with those of us who aren't quite as skilled as you. Keep up the awesome work, and I look forward to your next video.
Well, that’s that. I’m caught up. Watched every single video over the past couple weeks, several twice. Can’t wait for the next one! I’ve always built things, but watching your videos has changed my whole approach - for the better. I’m just “having a go” from now on. I always get hung up on the details rather than just execute the project and learn from mistakes or improve on the design. I can tell you from experience that that’s not the best way! Haha... Anyway, thanks for sharing your gifts/skills with the world. People like you make life better for others. 🤝👊
Wonderful job! Aside from your incredible talent in creating and building, I wonder if your viewers take for granted the amount of effort required to record and capture the build process: the positioning of cameras, the lighting and sound levels, focus and white balance-done for each step of the process. And then the post-production work in editing and narration. Many of your projects are quite complicated but your talent in capturing them and making the entire process a pleasure to view speaks volumes on talents beyond the build. 👍
Yes yes yes. Oooooh. xDxDxD. If you could see the grin on my face right now. I was looking to have a chillout moment this afternoon, and this couldn't be better. Thank you Neil for sharing.
I would like to thank you for sharing your skills and thoughts and techniques with the world sir. I’m have a hard time right now but to be able to watch your work and the projects you do always helps to keep going giving me motivation and determination to get to where I would like to be. Thank you and please don’t stop.
Really impressed with how you rescued this bench and made it sturdy enough for a mill. Using angle for the drawer handles was a wonderful finishing touch!
I'm only 1 minute into the video, and I'm just smiling to myself, as my prediction is that this project will be similar to the proverbial 'Grandfather's Old Axe.' You know, the one that has been in the family for over 160 years? They just don't make them like that today. All those years and we've only need to replace the handle three times, and the head twice. OK, back to the video; I always love them!
I love it! I love the look of Hammer finish paint. So good. Also, reusing and repurposing an existing table? HELL YES. Also also, I would love to see you refurbish the old vise
Greetings from Belorussii. I really like watching your channel, I tell everyone I know about you. We say "GOLDEN HANDS" to such masters. Thank you for your channel, very interesting.
I really enjoy projects like this where something really nice and super useful can be made from something someone else might discard. Great job and thanks for sharing your talent!
Another great project! The metal side of your shop is shaping up. Loved the welding table design so much I built a similar one. Very impressed with how strong it is. Thanks for the inspiration!
Pack, It was interesting to me and I got some good tips from yours! I am very glad you put the extra support braces in! That is one sturdy and strong cabinet now!
I like the way you present and the balance between pure functionality on the one side and acceptable finish on the other. You make some of the best maker videos on YT
A soon as I publish a video I usually remember something I meant to say. This time I forgot to mention I need to make a back screen to stop chips falling down the back of the workbench. I'll probably make that from the tin I took off the original workbench shelf. Also I will seal the inside of the drawers with a couple of coats of water based varnish. :)
I was wondering about the inside of the drawers...
Great project and content as always. Thanks Neil!
One note about your welding, be careful how often you weld in shorts as the weld arc can be hot enough to actually give you sunburns with enough exposure.
Now you can use the mill to level the head of the vise you want to restore, it'd be an interesting follow up for both of them, either way excellent job on the bench!
Vise video please I got a hand me down vise with a REALLY sloppy screw and honestly I just don’t know enough about them to feel comfy just digging in.
Absolutely would like to see the vise restored to usability.
Me too. Great job mate!
Yep. Take a look at "My Mechanics" for some serious inspiration for reconditioning a vise.
Yes that is a great idea
Me too
Yes please
“Let me know if this is something you’d like to see a video of.”
Pask, the answer is *always* a resounding “Yes please!”
with the amount of fake restoration channels out there it would be refreshing to see someone i trust fixing that vice up to real working order
"...it wasn't the most exciting project..." YEAH OK. That looks amazing and was very motivating!
That was my thought. I love seeing shop improvement stuff.
I Couldn't say it better
It only makes sense in the context of his other uploads.
Glad you enjoyed it! Sometimes when I do a project because it needs doing rather than trying to make a good video, I'm not sure how it will be received. :)
@@PaskMakes You are an excellent videographer and shop infrastructure jobs are always worth watching.
Seriously, Pask!? Of course I’d like to see a video of you restoring the vice. Wth kinda question is that?
I'd even go as far as saying I would be deeply disappointed not to see it
I've got a couple of ideas for making vices too! :)
@@PaskMakes Anything you capture in motion picture, pask, I will watch.
@@PaskMakes I've got a couple of vices too.
@@PaskMakes I think I see hydraulics involved!
"It wasn't the most exciting project" - these practical shop improvement episodes are actually some of my favourites! I'm never going to build a wooden bladeless fan (still amazing to see you do it) but I can definitely see myself building a workbench, etc.
Thanks Tyler - glad you enjoyed it! :)
Loved this style of video, makes me want to head down to the shed now and turn the two old heavy 12’ trestles into that metal work bench tonight.
I feel you here the wood working stuff is cool but these practical videos are more my thing.
I love the way you narrate these vids. Your voice and tone is just a pleasure listening to.
The builds are great but the narration does set the channel ahead of many other similar ones.
It's the way he finishes his sentences in an upward tone
@@YoussoufDJEZIRI yes!
Thanks very much Robert! :)
Harry Potter, narrated by Neil. 10/10 would listen
I would love to see the vise restored.
About restoring the vise.
Dear Niel. I love all your vids. As long as you're in the shop and entertain us with your narration I could watch you sweep the floor and I would enjoy it.
Very true!
Would absolutly watch that!
Thanks very much Boris - I'll have to add some clips of sweeping up in future! ;)
@@PaskMakes Maybe on fast forward with Yakety Sax playing ;)
I love how you make sure that most mundane things are stylistic, well-done, and elegant. And we absolutely want to see the vise restoration.
Thanks Sampath! :)
It's not necessarily about exciting project, rather about watching excellent workmanship :)
Thanks very much! :)
nicely put
On the contrary Pask, I love seeing revitalized workbenches that were in poor condition transformed into what you have made! No one would ever know how it used to look! Thank you!
Thanks very much! :)
"…Let me know if this is a video you would be interested in…"
I would watch a video of you tying your shoelaces - so - Yes, a vise restauration done by you: INTERESTED!
And on top of that: MILLING videos by Pask!!!!
Can't wait to see your approach to this machine!
Thanks Max! I have no idea what will be happening on the milling machine but it should be fun figuring it out! :)
@@PaskMakes Looking forward to watching you figuring it out! There's a lot I can learn from you!
I was eyeing up those boots while watching. Laceless RockRoosters?

Really enjoy rehabbing old, "just ok" pieces into more functional pieces especially with material you had lying around.
Of course I'd like to see the vise restored, watching Neil at work is a privilege.
Love seeing stuff get refurbished instead of junked. It looks amazing now. Really enjoyed this one.
In a workshop drawers are one of life’s simple pleasure, lol.
I like people that can look at something that would otherwise be seen as rubbish or trash and see its hidden potential. What a really great transformation!
Pask: Would you like to see me doing...
Everyone before he finishes the sentence: Yes!
Yes Pask, show us a video of everything you find that needs to be restored! I have watched all of your clips and i have learned alot and also been inspired myself to build! You are awesome!!
There's nothing boring about making more storage for the shop. Great video. Thanks.
Was it an exciting project full of innovation? No.
Was it still extremely satisfying to watch? YES!
Love the result, it's no comparison to how it looked in the beginning :)
Excellent Pask job, just don't forget to restore your vise, he deserves. Congratulations and a big hug. JOÃO (BRAZIL)
That’s the great thing about watching you work. I can sit here with my morning coffee and watch you work and when it is over, I feel like I’ve done something rewarding with my day. 😃
Huge respect for a man who can disassemble 60% of something and then rebuild it. I know I'd have struggled to stop myself breaking down the whole thing to rebuild it
Excellent result for a new home for your milling machine. And yes, restore the vice on a video.
No matter what you're making you're positive attitude and work ethic is very good therapy.
Doesn't look anything like the original. Fabulous build. Look forward to seeing the mill up and running. Definitely do the bench vice overhaul. 👍👍👍👍
Now that's a scraps steal challenge. I enjoyed watching you bring new life to that old table
Very well done. I believe that the best shop things are made or remade in the shop. I wish I had half of your creativity for this. And yes, of course make a video of the vise restoration.

Great transformation Neil, a silk purse from a sow's ear!
"let me know if it's something you'd like to see a video-" yes, always yes. You're videos are awesome
Always great to see stuff brought back from the dead into something useful. Nice work Neil
I'll be honest. I was calling that table a lost cause when you showed the how it was originally built.
I'm glad to be proven wrong. What a great rebuild! 👍
Definitely want to see Vice restoration. Thanks for your awesome videos, man.
Yes please the vise would be a terrific idea
I found this very enjoyable as i spent forty years operating milling machines, lathes, punch presses and well all the things you visualize in a machine shop. The machine can be a very big plus with proper tooling and training. Good job.

Some of your videos are more entertaining than others (a huge python in the workshop?!), but your channel's baseline is head and shoulders above so many others!
Pask - I really would like to see a video on the vice restoration. Thank you.
Does anyone keep count of how many tips and tricks can you get from this channel videos... uff blew my mind. Great Job Sr!
You say it's not the most exciting project, but it is. At least it makes me wanna go out to get my work bench in better shape. And with a nice work bench and equipment you get more energy for mor "exciting" projects. So please continue with both fixing workshop equipment as well as cool stuff.

From the video photo it looked like the drawers were made from steel. Good job making them look like metal.I like videos like this that shows you can fix/alter existing equipment. Keep up the great work!
Looks 1000 times better than when you started. Well done! You never cease to impress
A lot of people would have chucked the old bench to the tip, but you made it look as good as a bought one. Cheers
i like your philosophy of reusing what you have and reducing waste!
Love everything you do man! You're a great teacher Neil! I think I speak for the most of us that we want to watch anything you feel like making!
Nice to see that you were working on your croquet swing.
I watched the entire video, yet you can't fool me - I refuse to believe that is the same bench. Nice work, very inspiring.
Looks great, nice to see an old piece become new and very useful. I would also like to see the vise restored.
Good job, well done chap. I’d love to see you go to town on that vice mate.
I'm a solid advocate for up-cycling & re-cycling......... So no arguments from me.
An excellent job well done and looking forward to your next video.
Before : a rusty thing
After : a solid workbench with drawers ... thast's Pask Makes.
Good job Niel !
I never get tired of seeing your builds. That trick with the hot glue to hold the faceplates on the drawers is very slick. If I can ever learn how to build a drawer box that's square and true.... I'll have to remember give it a go!
I live in Russia, I have been watching your channel for a long time, I was very surprised by the AEG grinder , I also have such a very good machine!
Looks great. We like how you make a point of keeping the colors of your projects cohesive-Pask blue and Pask green.
We need to get you to 1 million subscribers. I always enjoy the videos. The transformation of the old bench to something new was amazing. I don't think the video was dull at all. Good luck and keep them videos coming.
Nice job mr Pask. Liked the way you recycled the old frame. Came out really nice, different piece
I love to watch your welding projects. I am learning each time I watch your videos. The reworked table is a great success. Thank you for sharing.
I really like the idea of recycling steel instead of throwing it away. Great project!
I'm really glad we got to see some rare footage of a 'foot-tool' being used here. I think it's under-utilized and quite versatile.
What a gem of a table! Love that you re-used the stuff! 👍👍👍
Definitely enjoyed it Pask, well done. And big thumbs up on the vise restoration and whatever else you dream up.
Great work Neil! Yes I would love too see the restoration of the vise.
Шикарно!!! Приятно вас смотреть, и учиться. Теперь хочу себе такую же мастерскую как у вас. Я начал столярное дело с кубиков для своих детей, теперь делаю двухэтажную кровать. И вы мне в этом очень сильно помогаете. Спасибо Вам БОЛЬШОЕ!
Great vid as per usual, Neil. I'll cast another vote in favor of seeing that vise get restored. Thanks for sharing!
As a restoration fan and a fan of yours, I'd say that these two interests would overlap perfectly! Would love to see a vice restoration by you!
A vice restoration video would be great. All your vids are great and personally have learnt loads from them. Please keep them coming
Pask,
For the inside of the drawers, I would consider some kind of rubberized paint like a truck-bed coating. That way the drawer and tools tossed in there are protected. But it's your call of course. I think the angle iron for drawer pulls makes the whole project look like a professional tool cabinet. Really quite well done sir. I'd be more than proud to have either bench, or both, in my shop. Quality work. I may have left the front tubes open on the sides for somewhere to stick a tool or grounding clamp, but that's me. May not be a scrapwood challenge, but still a top shelf project. Thanks for sharing.
It was a great project because you turned an old makeshift table into a professional looking piece of kit. That’s exactly the type of thing I want to see as well as your normal stuff which is always spot on.
I’ve seen gutsfulls of vice videos and would like to see your take on it. I can imagine it would be utilitarian but sharp as a coffin tack.
Everyone needs a mate like Luke. Between me and my mate we’ve moved everything under the sun for each other and have never yet failed to quote the chuckle brothers every time we pick something up.
That just shows a bit of rethink and redesign you get a great outcome well done sir very inspirational
YES, please do the vice/vise thing. Good job. Good work. Good instruction ...always learn something.... A bit green watching you make stuff. Happy days. Thanks.
I think you can always just assume that, yes, we do want to see a video about that, whatever ‘that’ is 😊
Great project as always!
Thank you for sharing!
Not boring, at all.
You make installing draws look so simple, too.
Much to take away from this one and store in the bank for my own future builds.
Cheers brother!
I’d love to see a restoration video of the bench vise. Also hoping you’ll do a video on the setup of your new mill - that looks like a great machine!
That's what is all about... take an old metal bench a create something so functional and nice out of it. Another grate video Neil, very well done and yes please lets see that vise restoration, I have a Record #5 that needs to be restore too... Thanks mate !!!

giving old bench new life, super cool project.
Nice upgrade on the bench, would definitely like to see the vise restoration. Thanks for sharing!
I love these restoration type videos when you take something not so great and make it 100%. Take that, entropy!
Fantastic work. I loved this. I would greatly enjoy seeing that vise restored!
