Nice - A portable workbench is a great addition to any workshop. At the risk of coming off as a know-it-all, I'll offer a couple of observations: Half inch dowel is not very strong - and these look to be pine. I would go for 3/4 inch hard maple. In the same manner, I would opt for 5/8 or 3/4 inch threaded rod for the crank. Adding risers to elevate the workbench would save one's back. Six or eight inches would due, as well as offer a means to clamp the portable workbench. I'd prefer shellac over polyurethane.
GREAT build. I think the toughest part of the build is finding a clear 2X4 now days. Thanks and this is definitely on the build list, which is growing by the day! !! !!!
Thank you! I’ve had better luck with southern yellow pine 2x4s, but sometimes they’re a special order, depending on where they’re purchased from. Still cheaper than a hardwood lol.
Thank you for your amazing videos of simple workbenches. There are far too many "easy beginner" workbench videos out there that are anything but easy or beginner. I am planning to build your small workbench as my first workbench. Can you provide a link to your hand plane you are using?
@@fangerwoodworkingThat you are using tools you genuinely prefer rather than those which you can get an amazon affiliate commission from is laudable. You have my subscription. (It’s a really neat tool too!)
They’re masterforce from Menards - the store brand. I believe they would be considered deep reach - they definitely reach further than a typical f-style clamp and have a super strong hold.
Awesome video.
Nice job!
Excellent work and superb video filming.

All great suggestions. I’ve actually never tried shellac. I’ll have to give it a try at some point.

Nice! Are the green F-style clamps deep reach? If so, what brand, and where did you get them? Thanks.

Well done! That would be handy to have on a job worksite! 👍👍
Thank you!
