Love the videos no matter how long or short they are. Every time you mention "the guys on the East Coast" I have to smile. I was born on the East Coast, but I got to the West Coast as fast as I could. Two weeks!! I was raised in California up by the Oregon border. Then Uncle Sam took me to Texas, and I messed up and married a Texan so here I am. God has been good to me so I can't complain. I keep you and your family in my prayers. Thanks for doing these videos.
My grandad used to say “bring it back the same way cause that’s the only one I have and I don’t have money to buy a new one or another one.” I’m so glad I listened to one of his many advices. I have 3 of his bench vises. They out lasted him but every time I use one I’m always thinking of him. I got one that I remember playing with since I was about 6-7 years old and I’m 35 now... Love the stories you tell of your grandad, hope you can enjoy this little one of mine. God bless!
Total agree with you if you borrow it it comes back better then new. If it has a motor and oil look black change it. Full tank of gas. And my rule is if I have to borrow it twice then maybe I should own that tool. If practical that is.
IN my trade i apply the same pholisophy. The tool goes back cleaned, oiled and ON the box, not in it so I am not rooting through their stuff. It's not your box, stay out of it. AND, if I borrow three times, I buy it. Because it also courteous to not have to go bakc a dozen times to keep using their tool. That's taking advantage of their generosity.
If you're going to change someone else's oil, it would also be a good idea to use what they use. You changed my oil that only had 2000 miles on it, with kendal? Great, now I have to go change it again...get it back to Mobil 1 and a Wix XP filter.
You hit the nail on the head when it comes to borrowing things from others, Cody! I’d also say that if you need to borrow a tool twice from someone, it’s time to purchase that tool for yourself. That’s how it was when I was a diesel mechanic and it’s always good to be more self reliant anyhow. Thanks for the great content.
Say hey Wranglerstar. I cannot begin to thank you enough for such exsquisite detail you go through in making your projects so beautiful and detailed. You have given me a great deal of inspiration from this most recent project. I will attempt to make myself a workbench similar to yours. I have been blessed from one of my brothers whom is truley the most gifted with his hands and eyes. I have worked with him and learned how to use the great tools I have. Can't wait to get started. BTW, you hit it out the park by suggesting folks to clean up borrowed tools. I have loaned out a chainsaw and lawn tractor...costs me hundreds to fix or replace them. Stay Safe, Bee Well. Regards, Doug, N.Tx.
Thanks @Wranglerstar I have been building this workbench! I had never used a circular saw or table saw. Because of watching your videos, I was able to learn and get it done! The only difference is that I used clamps instead of the allthread. Thanks so much! I'm proud of what I was able to build using your videos as a guide.
Take your time! This is a great series as is. Bench looks solid and substantial. As it should be. Thanks for sharing things that many of can go out and do for ourselves.
🤣 east coast guy here (Maine). I really enjoyed your woodworking shop build. I often watch them too just relax. I enjoy the longer process and the thoughts behind it. I am hoping for more woodworking projects in the future. Anyone who had ever done any woodworking knows it always takes 5 times longer than most people think...because in woodworking, nothing is quick.
I'm from NJ...I can't stand the impatience of people from this area. I'm loving the pace of this series. I built a bench very similar to this about 3 years ago, and I think this series demonstrates how tough a build like this can be. Totally worth it. A fellow woodworker saw it and said my grandkids would be using it some day.
I have been following you for about a year now, and i jjst love your content, no nonsense, just straight forward and honest videos. I agree with so many things that you say, you feel like a second dad to me! Love how you always being so honest, really respect you for that, no one is perfect, we learn by doing and by our mistakes, thats just life. Keep these videos coming and we will keep supporting you and your family! Love and respect from Finland!
Oh and those people nagging on you being to slow or making mistakes, just ignore them, i like when its taking you 5 videos to glue some 2×4s together. It not always about the work you do its also a big thing when you tell stories or really get down to details with stuff, it takes time and thats how it should be! There will always be haters and "i could do so much better" guys but its just empty words. None of them is sacrificing so much time and effort as you do making these videos! They have no clue how much working hours is spent to create what you do, so i say f*** them!
I loved your advice about returning a borrowed tool in better condition than when you got it. My father taught me the same lesson. I remember a neighbor borrowed another neighbor's lawn mower that had a brand new blade and returned it with an empty tank after a long time after having ruined the blade. My dad taught me then the lesson and suggested it should have been returned with a sharpened blade and a full tank of fuel.
Quality takes time. Give it all the time it deserves. And I'm sure I'm speaking for most, yes, it is all about hanging out and spending time together. Thanks for the great videos brother.
I remember when you built your woodworking bench, the EXACT same complaints were made. I remember making a comment then and it still applies today. To do it right, It takes several days to build something like this. If you want daily videos then you are only going to get to see what was done that day! Great job Wranglerstar! I wish i could do this style of video on my channel and show just what I do each day, but I struggle with my editing and usually end up doing a recap type video.
Thanks man! I've been building my own, I bought a hand plane and tried it out and it was an absolute disaster. All my fault, not the tool. I bought a belt sander from Home Depot and then found this video! Perfect!
As someone who watches your videos to learn, I’m always pleased by your slow and steady-methodical is a good word-pace and approach to the work. This isn’t a lego set, and if you haven’t been through it a dozen times, building something like this beautiful bench is a task with steps that you wouldn’t know you didn’t know if you hadn’t seen them done well and at a pace where you can see each part of the work clearly.
Love the pace this series is going at, it's been fun to "tune-in" each day for a new part. But then again us guys out in Nebraska are used to a slower pace😂
This is the third workbench build I have watched of yours, and I not only enjoy them, I prefer the 10-15min sessions. You take the time to show how it is done rather than giving a brief description in what usually turns out to be a sales pitch for plans. Thanks for taking the time to show us this, Cody. Jack will enjoy this bench a lot in his own shop
I really appreciate your videos. Especially these that have to do with a shop and building the workbench. I don’t mind how slow it’s going. Sometimes I don’t have time to sit down and watch a long video. And guess what, I’m from the East Coast. God bless you and keep doing what you’re doing.
Sure you couldbuild a bench quicker, however your giving up your time to film and the edit the video of the process, which adds hours to each day spent on it. Thank you for giving us your precious time to bring us this content. I love it looks great Cody
I took the "griping" as just a little good natured poking. I thoroughly enjoyed the series and am looking forward to the mounting of tools. It's always fun to me to watch someone who completes a project and you can tell they are proud of the job they've done.
You are a real gentleman. I like how considerate you are and how you you explain things in detail to those of us who are not experts in woodworking. Keep on producing videos to this standard and people will watch and appreciate. Thank you and well done.
Whenever I tie an extension cord to the cord of a tool like that I always do a figure 8 it puts less stress on the ends of each cord and makes them last much longer
I was always taught and practiced the process of sealing all finished wood products on all sides to prevent warping. This prevents a variation of moisture levels on opposite sides of the board as it continues to breath and move. Even more advisable when building from softwood lumber. Your caution on the end-grain is a good one. Since your building an aireloom that may still be serving it's purpose a hundred years from now, sealing the underside of the bench would be good insurance.
A guy like myself knows that taking your time will always bring more benefit than being in a rush, but hey what does an East Coast guy like myself know? LoL, I'm glad I can watch a West Coast guy at work and learn the right way to do things! Loving the series, and the craftsmanship! Good job, Cody!
By The Way, I really love this series and the longer it takes the better. Im disabled and cant get out very much and love hanging out with you via your videos. I feel like I'm part of the project.Not all of us East Coast guys are whiny little wimps. Thanks for what you do.
I heard that! I got nothing to do and all day to do it! Most folks don’t realize how long it takes to get things done properly. I can’t remember when everything went exactly as planned, that’s why one has to know how to mitigate any given situation, problem, and/or design change that can happen/occur. I feel like we are hanging out during you’re video’s. I’m the friend who doesn’t actually help just relaxes in your favorite chair and drinks your beverages, gives words of encouragement/discouragement, a inappropriate joke or two, but when not around you can’t figure out why you miss that person. Shake-N-Bake. Nice workbench.....it’s turning out great.
Hey Boss. Northwest Florida Boy here sayin keep up the subpar work your doing great..... My Great Uncle had a saying about a young bull and an old bull looking at the cows... needless to say don't get in a hurry if you need the job done correctly.
I'm really enjoying this series also. Not to slow, not to fast, just right so I can catch some of your knowledge. Thanks for passing it on to us. As always, keep walking with our KING!!
Love the series Cody! I just bought a 25yo house on 1/3 acre in south Texas and has a 500 square foot shop out back unfinished inside. I will be building a work bench and storage out there. First though, the house needs popcorn celling gone, paint, flooring, kitchen and bathroom update so I’m sure my shop will be last. All good though, keep up the good work, God Bless.
I’m really enjoying these videos as I’m about to do the same project. I just bought a house a little under two years ago and I need NEED a good work table or two. I especially loved your advice on giving back tools in better shape. I’ve always done that and always will and I wish everyone around the world could gear that advice. It doesn’t matter if you used a shovel or a power tool, clean it and fix/replace it if it broke while you were using it.
Greatly enjoying this series and truly enjoy most of your videos. Born and raised in New York I can tell you without a doubt that most of are good people!
Cody, You're making it very hard for me to rag on you and "internet hate". ..Do me a solid and be fake for just a tick so I can bash you in the comments and feel better about myself if you would please. Excellent content as always brother. Hug and kiss the family for me 1 Timothy 5:8 Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
This is the Cody I love to watch, having fun in your own pace. I do not care what you are doing, as long you like it or think it is important your self. It shines trough you know. 🙂 I also like the way you are thinking off what tools we whom watch this have, it is brilliant. On the flip side. I do not know what it is, since I more or less stopped whatcing you regularly some time å go. But I sence more/deeper love and caring from within you now than before. Some kind of patience and enjoment that you did not have before. Best wishes, may God be good to you and your family.
Looks fantastic. Your son will be proud to call that bench home base in the future!. I wish I had my grandfathers bench. It was rough but it was made in similar fashion and remained rock solid for decades.
That being said. Just because its kiln dried doesn't mean its truly dry. Mist construction lumber is considered"dry" at like 16% most places in the U.S the woood should reach its equilibrium at like 8-9% moisture
Loved the comment about returning something better than you got it. That is one I have always believed in. I had one neighbor who would borrow your tools and basically make you come borrow it back. Which brings me to another favorite saying of mine. If you need a tool once then borrow it. If you need a tool twice then buy it.
As a New Englander, my suggestion to the I want it all at once crowd is to wait until the last video is up and binge the series.😉 Maybe Cody will throw you a bone and make a playlist for you😂 I've rented floor sanders to people that are building large tables. If you go that route, make sure to get something that has no flex or squish between the sandpaper backing plate and the paper. Love the vanity plate!
I used a belt sander. Borrowed, took back in better condition, with all the unused belts I bought! I bunggied the vacuum hose to the sander, made everything much nicer. Great job!
Being form the east, I'm used to a slow pace. Cutting firewood with my 6" bar last night, I got worn out and had to take a break every 5 minutes! Series is great - fun to watch!
I love the look of the oil finish, I also like a nice vernish look ,taking a hard wood an scrubbing it until it compacts the wood fibers an leaves a high gloss shine . Same finish as a wood lathe with shaving in your hand while it's spinning. My grandfather always did that to all the handles of tools , use a sharp edge of oak too compress the fibers of the wood,he said it's like bonein a baseball bat . Then we used oak tanning we made to coat all wooden handles ,I still have a few gallons an still make it .
Cody, I love how when you make mistakes and the viewers point it out, you chuckle about it and make it into a learning experience when possible. Great attitude to have!!
I enjoyed the series a lot. I learned a bunch. I'm from the East Coast 😄and I had no problem with the series broken up. Gave me something to look forward to. Love the channel. I also REALLY enjoyed your approach from the point of view from someone just starting out and using budget friendly tools and materials.
Cody, I am from the east coast and for my money, you can say whatever you want, no offense. If your reading this I want to compliment you on your attitude about people and their skill level. I am a carpenter of 50 yr or so and have numerous skills beyond carpentry. I watch your channel because you treat people with great respect and love. While I don't agree with you on your spiritual attitudes your manly manners and your family values are spot on in my book. Your humility is spot on, as well ,. keep up the great work. Just sayin RC
I’m enjoying the series, time to hangout. From the North EAST coast, hahaha I like it ! We just can never finish anything from the east coast, because we spend OUR time complaining about people who drag and drag a building project that our forefathers did in an afternoon! Keep up the good work Cody !!
A trick I learned for cleaning up glue is getting myself a two-handed paint scraper from home depot. They're great for a lot of things so I got my money's worth, but it works amazing for scraping the glue off to save planer blades, belts and time sanding.
I enjoy the fact you take your time and do a job right not rushing through it. I am looking forward to the next one and God bless you and your family. I really appreciate you sharing your faith I'm God in these videos
it is going to be a very strong workbench, but I made the top side into 4 segments in order to disassemble and assemble it back somewhere else . by opening the studs,
Just bought a gift card to Lowe’s for my girlfriends parents because they lended me many tools over the past year as I renovated my condo. Definitely the right thing to do. I figure they can replace anything I might have dulled with use with whatever they wish
Love the series. As soon as you put a timeframe on a certain project it starts turning into a job you enjoy less and less. There is not much more relaxing than being able to go out and work on a project at your own pace.

IN my trade i apply the same pholisophy. The tool goes back cleaned, oiled and ON the box, not in it so I am not rooting through their stuff. It's not your box, stay out of it. AND, if I borrow three times, I buy it. Because it also courteous to not have to go bakc a dozen times to keep using their tool. That's taking advantage of their generosity.
My uncle used to say. If you have to barrow more then 3 times a year . you need one of your own.
If you're going to change someone else's oil, it would also be a good idea to use what they use. You changed my oil that only had 2000 miles on it, with kendal? Great, now I have to go change it again...get it back to Mobil 1 and a Wix XP filter.
CNumb1969 well that goes with out saying. You don’t just put some cheep stuff in. Doesn’t take much to ask the person.
You hit the nail on the head when it comes to borrowing things from others, Cody! I’d also say that if you need to borrow a tool twice from someone, it’s time to purchase that tool for yourself. That’s how it was when I was a diesel mechanic and it’s always good to be more self reliant anyhow. Thanks for the great content.
Say hey Wranglerstar. I cannot begin to thank you enough for such exsquisite detail you go through in making your projects so beautiful and detailed.

Thanks @Wranglerstar I have been building this workbench! I had never used a circular saw or table saw. Because of watching your videos, I was able to learn and get it done! The only difference is that I used clamps instead of the allthread. Thanks so much! I'm proud of what I was able to build using your videos as a guide.

On the flip side. I do not know what it is, since I more or less stopped whatcing you regularly some time å go. But I sence more/deeper love and caring from within you now than before. Some kind of patience and enjoment that you did not have before.
Best wishes, may God be good to you and your family.
Careful! You almost blew that toupee right off!
Clearly, Cody has found some OUTSTANDING toupe' adhesive.
@@theElderberryFarmer I'm pretty sure it's Loctite. :)
Looks fantastic. Your son will be proud to call that bench home base in the future!. I wish I had my grandfathers bench. It was rough but it was made in similar fashion and remained rock solid for decades.
Nothing preventing you from making an adapter for your shop vac to hook up to the belt sander 🤔
Thank you for the reminder regarding handing back borrowed tools. Very timely for me.
Probably a dumb question, but aren't those 2x4s kiln dried?
Yeah he told us that in the first video. Why?
All commercial 2x4 are kiln dried
That being said. Just because its kiln dried doesn't mean its truly dry. Mist construction lumber is considered"dry" at like 16% most places in the U.S the woood should reach its equilibrium at like 8-9% moisture
Loved the comment about returning something better than you got it. That is one I have always believed in. I had one neighbor who would borrow your tools and basically make you come borrow it back. Which brings me to another favorite saying of mine. If you need a tool once then borrow it. If you need a tool twice then buy it.
My benchtop is 8 feet of retired bowling lane, Very flat.
A friend of mine has old bowling lane on his kitchen island.
TallAkff How thick is that old bowling lane top?
@@gallopngoose8753 Guessing about 1.5 in. Maple
Thanks Carl!
I can't be the only one who loves the acoustic rendition of nothing else matters for the intro
Don't spray too much compressed air, that toupee might come off.
It's beautiful. Definitely an heirloom workbench. The stories it will have in the following years/decades will be what it's all about.
It takes time to build projects I've been building a car for five years
As a New Englander, my suggestion to the I want it all at once crowd is to wait until the last video is up and binge the series.😉 Maybe Cody will throw you a bone and make a playlist for you😂
I've rented floor sanders to people that are building large tables. If you go that route, make sure to get something that has no flex or squish between the sandpaper backing plate and the paper.
Love the vanity plate!
Your belts are directional they have an arrow inside & shouldn’t belt sand across the grain.
I used a belt sander. Borrowed, took back in better condition, with all the unused belts I bought! I bunggied the vacuum hose to the sander, made everything much nicer. Great job!
makes me want to build another work bench but dont have the space in the garage
build one and donate?
I'm glad the series took as long as it did. Thanks for the vids
You should change the title to " The Most Dragged Out Video Series On Building a Workbench, EVER" lmao
Being form the east, I'm used to a slow pace. Cutting firewood with my 6" bar last night, I got worn out and had to take a break every 5 minutes! Series is great - fun to watch!
Great job enjoyed that, love Metalica!!!!
I love the look of the oil finish, I also like a nice vernish look ,taking a hard wood an scrubbing it until it compacts the wood fibers an leaves a high gloss shine . Same finish as a wood lathe with shaving in your hand while it's spinning. My grandfather always did that to all the handles of tools , use a sharp edge of oak too compress the fibers of the wood,he said it's like bonein a baseball bat . Then we used oak tanning we made to coat all wooden handles ,I still have a few gallons an still make it .
Cody, I love how when you make mistakes and the viewers point it out, you chuckle about it and make it into a learning experience when possible. Great attitude to have!!
I’m from the east coast and I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Beautiful work as usual. Keep on keepin on.
I enjoyed the series a lot. I learned a bunch. I'm from the East Coast 😄and I had no problem with the series broken up. Gave me something to look forward to. Love the channel. I also REALLY enjoyed your approach from the point of view from someone just starting out and using budget friendly tools and materials.
I like the length and multiple videos, it breaks down the steps and makes it easy to follow
Thanks for letting us hang out. Take your time. This gives me the fizz to try this on my own!
Hi Cody, I whole heartedly agree with your philosophy about borrowing tools and returning them in better condition.
I think this is so much more beautiful because they are just construction grade studs! I love it...I’m going to TRY to make one myself.
Old skool wranglestar. Enjoying this series.
I do like the 'Find the Loctite' addition. Way to keep it fresh Wranglestar. Way to keep it fun.
Your pace is fine with my ADD as well.
I've been really enjoying the series. Take as long as it needs.
Cody, I am from the east coast and for my money, you can say whatever you want, no offense. If your reading this I want to compliment you on your attitude about people and their skill level. I am a carpenter of 50 yr or so and have numerous skills beyond carpentry. I watch your channel because you treat people with great respect and love. While I don't agree with you on your spiritual attitudes your manly manners and your family values are spot on in my book. Your humility is spot on, as well ,. keep up the great work. Just sayin RC
I’m enjoying the series, time to hangout. From the North EAST coast, hahaha I like it ! We just can never finish anything from the east coast, because we spend OUR time complaining about people who drag and drag a building project that our forefathers did in an afternoon! Keep up the good work Cody !!
A trick I learned for cleaning up glue is getting myself a two-handed paint scraper from home depot. They're great for a lot of things so I got my money's worth, but it works amazing for scraping the glue off to save planer blades, belts and time sanding.
I enjoy the fact you take your time and do a job right not rushing through it. I am looking forward to the next one and God bless you and your family. I really appreciate you sharing your faith I'm God in these videos
I love hanging out with y'all. Thank you. NC here.
it is going to be a very strong workbench, but I made the top side into 4 segments in order to disassemble and assemble it back somewhere else . by opening the studs,
Just bought a gift card to Lowe’s for my girlfriends parents because they lended me many tools over the past year as I renovated my condo. Definitely the right thing to do. I figure they can replace anything I might have dulled with use with whatever they wish
Love the series. As soon as you put a timeframe on a certain project it starts turning into a job you enjoy less and less. There is not much more relaxing than being able to go out and work on a project at your own pace.
Thanks Cody - not worried about the time. You do you. Also love love love the music. Gonna go find it now...
Thanks for showing the process with a bench laminated with the threaded rods. It's a good idea I had seen before but not seen done step by step yet.
