Just purchased this. Instructions for putting it together is ok. Appreciate the warnings, pinched my fingers. Should have watched this video before hand. Lol.
just got my wm125 from Amazon tonight. Of course, I had put it together right away. The only problem I had was getting the holes for the drift pins lined up so I could hammer them in place. I would suggest slipping a brad or a thin nail through the pin and the holes to keep things lined up. It worked for me.
The drift pins are terrible. They go through the holes of the handle just fine, obviously, but not the holes of the vice screw at all. I'll try your tip. Not sure if mine are a slight defect or what.
Excellent video! Thank you for doing it. Your video is so much easier to follow and it makes so much more sense than the written instructions included with the workbench.
Your video was great and answered a lot of questions. I was hoping to see how sturdy it was and did it wiggle around while in use. Please comment if you can.
i got a stack of books. this workmate 125, and a circular saw. my goal is to cut the spins off of each of the books so i can turn them into digital files. my question is: what clamping and cutting method with circular saw be the best? using the swivel pegs to hold the book, cult halfway into the books spine, then flip the book and cut the other half of the book spine?
Oh man, I wish I saw this video when it was published a year ago! You have no idea how hard it is to type this out when your nose itches with one remaining finger! It’s so incredibly frustrating and I hate B&D for not giving the same warnings. At least it’s my middle finger that remains . I get the satisfaction of waving at B&D employees and they just wave back with no idea
Having the same issue as some others I removed the pins that would not go in all the way. I ended up using a screw and a bolt. I didn't like the wobble handles, to solve that I wrapped some electrical tape around the end of the screws before reinstalling the handles.
A few too many warnings about crushing your hands. Other than that, good video. Thank you. Menards has them on sale for $9.99. Will be picking some up tomorrow. I've been needing some good horses for awhile and this looks like it will work well.
been trying to build it for the past 2 hours, the top doesnt fit with what you have, i dont understand at all how to place the black blocks and the wood table... jeeez
I wish I’d found your videos before assembling, it took me two hours and a lot of swearing, the instructions are the worst I’ve seen to date! Anyways it looks like it should be quite a good bench especially for the price!
Thanks for the video, I was going to buy this table but now I’m not because I’m very very frightened of pinching my hands, you saved me!
Appreciate you sharing this video and information. Yesterday my 125 was delivered. We watched you assembly video
Thank you so much I just got my table watching your video is gonna help me set up my table.

Crucial tip. Assembling mine now, Thx!

@@tomw.4255I had the same problem. Scratched up my Workmate real good while hammering in the pins but at least I pushed them through

How do you actually cut the piece of wood on it?
Thanks again Todd.
Good video!
I have a 19001 type 2.
It doesn't open or fold down like this and it has a 350 pound rating...I use it to climb up to high shelves in my garage.
been trying to build it for the past 2 hours, the top doesnt fit with what you have, i dont understand at all how to place the black blocks and the wood table... jeeez
My orange pegs are so tight thar I cannot move them. One is in the wrong spot. Any tips please?
Hammer them out from the bottom... use a dowel
ow, I pinched my hands! Why didn't you warn me??
:')
LMAO
My swivel pegs are too big and will not fit in the holes. Anyone else have the same problem? Is it the summer heat?
If anyone pinches their fingers with it now, it's completely on them.
