I have watched hours and hours of TH-cam videos preparing for retirement. Your was amazing to me. I actually went to "Dainer Made's" page, however instead he had yours up instead. I don't know if he is trying to promote you, or what the story is, I am very glad that he did. I have subscribed, and liked. I have gone to the oldest video, and will watch then in order. I can't wait until you start talking! Thank you for the great content. My best, Katie Anderson
Nicely done! And great to see another fellow Ryobi fan. You're the first I've seen with all Ryobi tools, and I watch a lot of woodworkers. You've got the right idea, Ryobi is the best! Lol 😆
If you're on a budget and want to start getting into woodworking, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Ryobi. It's the brand that's got me to where I am today, and I'm not ashamed to own them (as some have said I should be). I will be honest tho, I think I've now reached a level where I'm requiring more professional features and functionality from my tools, so I have started to look into Bosche or Makita for some future purchases, but I will always have a soft spot for Ryobi.
@@barberspaddockwoodworking I agree, Ryobi is one of my favorite brands, if not my most favorite, it's just unfortunate that they don't make EVERY kind of tool needed for my Woodworking. If they did I'd buy nothing but Ryobi lol
G'day Anthony, saw you on Vic's segment on M2C1 this week and this awesome bench. Mate, you've really hit the ground running on both the woodworking and video front. What a cracking first filmed build and wow, YT has loved it too. Great to see! Looking forward to working through your channel - James
Nice job. That will serve you well for decades. Congrats on the new shop. I remember when I was finally able to move my tools out of a shed nd into a dedicated shop. Pure bliss.
Enjoy watching you work. I like the methodical and detail-oriented way you go about things. A suggestion if you don't mind. When using the planer, pick up on the back of the board as it's going in and pick up on the front of the board as its coming out. It will reduce snipe quite a bit. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the tip! Yes I do need to do something about the planner setup. I really need an outfeed so I can push stock through it right after each other to reduce that as well. As it stands I kinda have to run around the thing to stop it from falling onto the ground!
nice build. that said, you should have the top stick out a couple of inches for the times you need to clamp things like fences or stops. it will also help prevent sawdust build up on the handles and in the drawers.
Thanks David, and you certainly make a valid point. The original plan called for a 20mm overhang for the exact reasons you point out, but when included the mitre-saw station on top (video 2) and the mitre-saw fence (video 3), those reasons became less important. If I didn't do those things, I would %100 go back to the original overhang.
This is a pretty solid little workbench. While once you figure out how it comes together, it is physically Easy to assemble th-cam.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh by yourself. But the diagrams explaining the steps are really pretty bad. I could not get the handle pins in all the way despite multiple attempts, so I just used a screw I had on hand for the 2nd handle. I could not get the first pin in further or pull it back out. You are supposed to hammer it in, but I had no leverage and the handle is plastic and I did not want to risk breaking it. I will get a lot of use out of the bench because of the convenient size and height. It does fold up nicely for storage. They even explain how to fold it so you don't get pinched...that is important!
use it and the place is very neat and clean, and the tools are very sophisticated and complete. much different at my place, the place is makeshift and the tools are also makeshift😢
Was this all just "box store" bought lumber? Or is that some kind of higher end hard wood? I've done a ton of projects, but usually I'm just building shelves or something similar for function, and have never worried much about appearance. But I'm redoing my garage and building some benches/workstations and want these to look better than what I typically do. I know jointing/planing can make even basic 2x4s look much cleaner and fancier. Is that what you did here?
Correct, what you see is all off the shelf 'box store' bought lumber. The framing timber I used is what is called in my big box store as 'pine shorts', which as the name suggests is just short pieces of '2x4' (or in AUS that's 35mm x 75mm). These are very dry, and generally straight since they are quite short and clean up really nice when planned/sanded. The top is made of FromPly, this is a special type of plywood with a hard resin surface which is great for workbench tops etc. Glue won't stick to it, and it's resistant to marking or denting. So far it's holding up great.
Would you by chance have a cut sheet or dimensions? This looks like a fine piece of furniture, but than again my shop has lots of “Work Furniture” in it too. 😊
I don't have a cut sheet sorry, however I do have this modeled in Sketchup for dimensions. The dimensions are very specific to my space, so I'm not sure how applicable they would be elsewhere, but if you're interested in the file, you're welcome to message me on Insta and I'll provide a link or email them to you.
It's called Form Ply here in Australia. I'm not sure what they would call it in the US (or if it's something common over there). It's effectively plywood with a film coating on top that makes it very smooth and great for (IMO) this type of bench-top.
@@barberspaddockwoodworking ya i haven't seen that where I am in the US. I guess we have melamine which I would think is kinda similar but only in white. But yeah that seems like a great material for that top!
We have melamine here as well, but that's defiantly different to form ply. The surface of form ply is perfectly smooth, it doesn't have any texture unlike melamine, so yes perfect for this job as you don't have to do anything to the surface. Plus melamine would be particle board vs plywood.
Where to start. Sherwood and I, have a sort of love hate relationship. To be clear, I don't have a specific 'affinity' to the brand, and I'm certainly not sponsored, but I've accumulated quite a bit of kit that's Sherwood (tablesaw, bandsaw, jointer, thicknesser, dust collector) over the last few years, so I feel like I can give you a reasonable answer. To qualify, there are two major reasons why I have so much Sherwood at the moment: 1.) Price. For the price you pay, you usually get a lot of tool. My table saw was $1,700 AUD on special when I bought it, which is/was crazy cheap for the specs (12" blade, dado cable, part cabinet, part contractor type saw). Thicknesser, bandsaw, all similar stories, I just couldn't pass up the cost vs other brands. 2.) Reason number 2, and probably the biggest, was 'freight cost'. The store I bought these from, Timbecon, is the only one that charges reasonable tailgate shipping. I live in the country and the cost to get large tool shipments here is astronomical. One quote for shipping from another tool merchant for a drum sander was over $600 AUD. Alot of Sherwood products are photo copies of other off the shelf OEM products (especially the thicknesser, dust collector, jointer). You can find almost identical ones under other brands (like the carbatec ones). For those, I say, it's fine, get which ever one is cheapest. But the tablesaw, that's not a clone, or at least it's not a clone of another brand that's sold here in AUS (and I've not found the equivalent in another brand ever). The tablesaw I had so many headaches with. Part of it was my inexperience with this type of tool (I graduated to this from a Ryobi jobsite 'bucket' tablesaw), and part of it was the absolutely horrendous QA that my table saw had. I had issues with the power (they wired it upside down from the factory so it blew multiple times before I get a 3rd party to fix it), the instruction manual is like a photo copy of a photo copy, and then translated by my uncle into something resembling English so is next to useless. The fence is RUBBISH, it took days to get that into proper alignment so it was useable, and even now, I have challenges to getting the blade parallel sometimes. Dust collection at the cabinet level is non existent, all the cabinet does is give a place for the dust to fall down into. There is nothing covering the saw internals, so often you're cleaning up all the trunians that get covered in sawdust. The throat plates are a joke and afterthought, you would never use them. Now they might have fixed some of this up in the more recent models, especially since mine is now retired, but I know enough people with the current models that have had similar experiences who are much better woodworkers than me, that I trust that some of this isn't addressed yet. Granted after 2 years of using it, I've now learnt how to deal with it's nuances, and I now understand enough that I'm able to get everything I need from it. Depending on where you are on your woodworking journey, that could be a challenge you're willing to take on, especially if you have some experience with similar tools, or not. Basically it's very very affordable, and that affordability comes at a price when it comes to setup and use. If you know your tools and have some experience in that area, it can be a good bargain. Otherwise, I'd probably say to give it a skip. Hope this helps!
@@barberspaddockwoodworking very thorough and exact response i was looking for, thank you. im a fellow aussie in SE suburbs VIC, so naturally found them through timbecon as well and yes price seems great bang for buck. Im past the tinkering with tools stage and will go for something more reputable that's more likely better out of the box. Still, I'm jealous of your setup. keep up the great work! I have a dedicated space on my horizon too :)
Unfortunately I don't have step by step plans for this Steve. Since this is very custom, it's only really designed to fit my needs and my specific space. I do have a google Sketchup file for the main cabinets and top should someone be interested in that you can email me or visit me on Insta for it. For those interested the timber used is Form Ply for the top, the drawers are MDF, while the rest is made out of basic pine shorts (or 2x4's).
Thank you! If I'd not built the mitre-saw top (video #2), then I'd 100% agree, it would be slightly too low to be a bench on it's own. If I was building this to just be the top itself, then I'd have definitely gone another 4 or 5 inches taller.

That is one awesome bench. I would like one in white oak :-)
That would be nice! Unfortunately not a timber common here in Aus. :(

how have you found the sherwood kit? i've been eyeing them off
