Built mine from watching the video online. I have yet to build the vise, but have been using it for almost 2 years now, and performs well. I’ve moved 2 time since I built it and it is a joy to move. Thanks Will!
I built mine last year and I absolutely love it. I highly recommend it to anyone thinking about building a bench. I scaled mine down to 5’ long because of space but it works great. I transport mine in and out of the basement to work outside on nice days.
I'm a super beginner with woodworking and I bought both the plans and video and I have loved them. Will Myers is an excellent teacher and makes it fun to watch. I've just about finished my workbench, but am already using it. Love it.
This video is EXCEPTIONAL from you and Myers! Loved it
Very lovely pieces and I can't wait to get started on mine. Today I will begin to sort through a huge pile of Merbau from a deck we took down recently. This is going to be one sturdy bench (and I will be sharpening my chisels often I think!). Regards and thank you again from Sydney - David
I bought the bench plans and video three years ago as a post-retirement project. Other priorities intervened so will actually start the project this year. Really appreciate the knowledge, time and effort you and Will invested to make this project available globally (Australia). I wish you both good health and success.
I'm looking forward to getting mine finished.
Best project ever. I found out the hard way that I really needed one of these to build one. It’s a great basic joinery project using mortise, tenon, dovetails, drilling, butt joints etc. measuring and layout techniques. Whether you use hand tools or power, you’ll learn a lot. I recommend two or three hold fasts and a moxon vise. To go with the wagon and leg vise.
I used the plans Will had on line and the videos on TH-cam.
It’s a beast and I can’t say enough good things about it.
Thank you Will and Joshua.

23:15 Thank you Sir.🎉
Built mine at Will's class in Pittsboro. Good times.
Ah!! You are back !
dig it, thanks
I like this video
I like this video🤩
Ah!! You are back !. I will love to be a student sir.
I shamlessly stole the idea of this bench from these excellent videos. Timber is so expensive in the UK that I made mine from 3 sheets of laminated 18mm (3/4") ply. Absolutely bomb-proof. No wracking, weighs a ton, so no movement, and comes completely apart for storage in 1 min.
Plywood is a good idea as it is also flat, so you save a lot of work there too.
Hi Toby, I would enjoy seeing a picture of your bench. If you have time and can post it here. Thanks Paul from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Sorry, can't add images to this chat.
What's crazy where I'm at Oak is cheaper then Pine! Right now I'm finishing the build out of a new shop this is the first thing that will be build as soon as that is done.
It is a perfect workbench! I built mine a couple of years ago from the plans, which are great and worth the buy,
Thank you i have your video how to build the bench, There other advantage of this if you find a better work top you can change it. it is all made of parts.
I built one from your plans and videos, got her done! It's still rough, needs a sand and a finish and I can't bring myself to drill all those holes...
I had bareley finished building this style of bench only to find it being used as a side board in the dining room,,,😀
It may be heresy, but until I can find a suitable beam for the top, I think a piece of glulam would serve very well for the top. With respect to the tool tray, I think I would make a half-cover that would slide in a rabbet. Also, the rabbeted tray could be used to hold benchtop power tools in place.
Clean shop!
Could you make the leg vice angled?
Wish I could find one to buy.
Joshua, on another thread there seemed to be quite a discussion about the plans for this workbench. Was the question of some details missing from the plans ever resolved?
Can you see any issue with substituting MDO and plywood when making this?
I remember seeing the video you guys did on this workbench from a few years back. It's on my build list for a future date (when i get the spare time!)
I have a question. Do you ever have any issue where the top of the leg meets the bench top in line with the vice. There must a good amount of side ways pressure at that point when closing the vice and I imagine that would need some extra reinforcment..?
Good point. However, this would only be the case if the workpiece is up against the top of the workbench and not the legs. In this event, the force would be shared across both joins where the legs meet the bench as the legs are joined by a horizontal member (if that makes sense)! You'd need to apply a very big force to create problems here I would imagine. Cheers, David
PS. I've had this in my to-build list for some time too. I'll race you... 🙂
@@deldridg Yes, I have a very simplified version of this vice on my current work bench and 100% agree this is only an issue with work pieces above the top of the leg. Admittedly, it's not as well built as the one in this video. I'm also probably guilty of clamping work pieces too tightly from time to time, normally a sign of trying to work too fast with slightly blunt tools!
A race??..you're on!😆, comment here when you're finished.
@@1milliondogs Oh dear - you've called me. Now I have no excuse! As for blunt tools - I was the same for some time before discovering the Zen-like joys of sharpening with Japanese water stones. My life is overcrowded at times, with 2 young kids, completing an 18 month home renovation and so on, so I need to just zone out at times. I may go and do some sharpening this afternoon (after selecting some choice pieces of Merbau for my workbench of course!). Cheers from Sydney - Dave
@@deldridg Dave, I feel obligated to tell you that I have some nicely seasoned english ash all ready to go, and I'll be starting my work bench build in about 6 weeks. 😆
@@1milliondogs Good work! I have a ton of well seasoned Merbau from our old decks - pre renovation. Would prefer English Ash though. Either way, it will be a very heavy unit when completed I think.
As for 6 weeks, I think you may have the jump on me there. I'm currently trying to shuffle my garage around so as to make a workable and efficient shop space for my woodworking. This is proving to be a very big job, with 100 m^s of too many possessions - to sell, stack, give away etc. before I can commence!
Cheers and good luck! Dave
I’d like to know the supplier of those lovely wood screws for the vise ?
Do these have any movements at all any rocking?
I will love to be a student sir
Just checking, did you go to school for woodworking? Do you offer beginners lessons? TIA 😊
