In light of recent times I'm heartened to see there's still people like you and your family in this seemingly upside down world. God bless you and your family!
yeah I agree, My dad takes us to see my grandparents whenever we can, sad that others don't get or feel like they get that chance. Sorry for your loss mate
I got a handheld cassette tape recorder one Christmas as a teen and I recorded my granpa telling us kids stories about growing up in Georgia in the 20's/30's and how he use to run moonshine after school to save money for his first Indian motorcycle. He was a great man...taught me everything about painting cars, houses, engine repairs, boating..you name it. Those recordings became priceless when he passed away. I made copies for all of my family...wish I would have recorded more. Your memories of you grandfather sound priceless as well. Thank you
When I was a kid my grandpa used to come over and just wanna spend some time with me. At the time I would have rather been playing with my friends or playing video games. I vividly recall asking my mom why I had to. And I remember her saying "He won't be around forever and he wants to spend some time with his grandson". I haven't thought about that in a long time. Boy do I wish I could go back and enjoy the little moments more.
Thanks a lot for this series, I first wanted to see your bench to be finished, before I build mine in a couple of months at home. Isn't that cool, knowing that just an affordable workbench connects lots of people all over the world together!! Besides that, thanks to the Lord for sharing your life with us! I really enjoy your kindness but also your courage to explain your way of life, since that can be very difficult and can cause lots of criticism. I pray that you continue with this! God bless!
Your talk about spending time with your Grand Pa reminded me of the jar of rocks. You fill it up with big rocks till it's full, then small ones when you think there's no more space you add the sand and then maybe water. So you can always fit in the small stuff but try to fit in another big rock, there's only so much room for the big things in life. You need to make sure you get all of them in there.
My grandparents have been on my mind lately. Your memories of your grandfather resonated with me. That was a nice forced perspective with your yellow tool boxes while you were talling about board angles on the shelf.
Another great video. What a comfort it is to see you and your family and the love between you. Your blessing at the end of each video goes straight to my heart. Thank you.
Fire and water are the two most therapeutic things in the world. Watching a fire and listening to a stream/river out in a forest is the very definition of my perfect day.
did you say you can make those stoves with a conversion kit? is there any chance we could get a video of you making a Barrel wood stove? I would be super interested in that.
me too, we are moving into our barn to wait for our house to be completed and winter will be here before you know it. I need a way to warm up our barn that won't break the bank.
Plugging those holes with any hardwood, would look amazing. Especially if the common guy also epoxied the front nut on the backside of the plug, maybe? Then again... there is something industrial romantic about the front bolt & nut look. Maybe blackening the front all-thread, washer, and nut? If possible, in addition to your ideas of adding some hand forged touches? In my humble opinion, using the all-thread the way you have I think enforces this bench top similar to a Torsion Box Top for wood-workers. Really enjoy watching this project.
Put the shelving through the jointer and planner to get the timbers flat same as the bench top. Use halflap cross bracing underneath to support and drive 4 inch screws down into the cross bracing. That'll stop the shelf from bending. The walnut plugs, they would look smart with a Brass Ring inserted into the hole then the walnut plug with the Wranglerstar Logo branded into the plugs. Attention to detail ☺
Geez my Grandpa was a woodworker with all those sweet tools. My Aunt gave them away, I was to young to realize how valuable they would be to his grandkids in our later years. Dang it! Love all those tools you have to do the job great.
Well thanks for tearing me up about time with our elders. What I would give for one more morning coffee on the porch with my mom. Then at the end had smiles from ear to ear with the special family moments at the cross country. Awesome video. Bamaboat75
Great job Jack! Cody, I think it would be best to put the all thread back in but still use the walnut to cap off the holes. You'd have the peace of mind with the all thread support and the gorgeous finish of the walnut. Just my opinion. I know you'll make the right call!
Cody when you where reflecting on your grandfather and how you wish you just sat with him really hit home with me. I plan on building this bench with my dad in his new house he has had 2 strokes and I was always working overtime and prioritizing making money. This bench will probably cost more than what he needs or I could just buy one from the store however, I look at it like I'm building memories.
Good thought on plugging the holes. We all should feel guilty for not spending more time with our elders. Gotta love your two kids Jack for his perseverence and the sweetloaf just loving life.
Cody, my grandpa has always been a huge romodel in my life. Hes 70 now and building his last home. I am getting the opportunity to plumb his new build. And its one of my most proudest things iv been able to do. I plumb fancy houses everyday but none will ever mean to me what this one does.
Cody, I know what you mean by spending time with the older generation. Only tonight I was regaling to friends in the pub (in London) how between 1990 to 1992 I had the chance, through work to regularly visit The Royal Hospital Chelsea. Those wonderful old Army pensioners used to reminisce their times in service. Those guys served in the 1st World War and many other conflicts. I remember that the stories were always entertaining, informative and emotional. What bothers me today is that I wish I had had a tape recorder and more importantly, I was there with them and yet cannot remember their history. I do know that I was extremely privileged to have spent the time I did with them. Great to see Jack and the rest of the family doing so well.
I was lucky enough to have spent many hours sitting outside the garage with my grandpa just listening to his stories. These days spent with him are among my most favorite memories.
Pro tip, when driving all thread out like that use a junk nut and put the all thread just shy of the nut face. Now you can pound on it without messing up the threads. Love the videos!
Hey Cody you’re a huge inspiration to me and have inspired me for years to become who I am today. Thank you for making such wholesome and entertaining content.
He did great. My son is playing rugby and it's a proud moment when your kid does something well. I played tons of sports as a boy and to see your own kids having fun playing sports it brings you back.
Unless I have a use for the full-width off-cuts, I usually prefer to do the rip cut first. The short rip fence on a contractor saw can allow a bit of side-to-side wobble at the beginning of the cut until you get the board fully registered on the fence, causing a wavy cut at the beginning. Doing the easier cross cut on the miter saw after the rip cut allows you to trim off that defect as you're cutting the ripped board to length.
Hi Cody. Got in early this time. I’ve loved the work bench series. Please do some more of these. I’ve found some woodworking magazines from 1950 from my grandad. I never got to meet him but he was a carpenter here in the UK. If you’d like some let me know and I’ll post them to you. Thanks Cody. Andrew
We live in northern Ohio and we’ve already prepared our wood burning fireplace for the first cold day! We haven’t used our gas furnace for over the past five years! We have one wood fireplace and one gas fireplace! We heat with wood during the day and gas during the night! The only thing we use the furnace for is air conditioning during the summer! 👍👏🙏🇺🇸😃
Cut out plugs with a hole saw kit on your drill press with OUT the center drill bit. I recently had to do this for door handle holes on old doors that were 5.5 " from the edge of the door. Makes life a lot easier than messing with it on a lathe. If you have a hole saw kit and need a 1 1/4 " plug just use the 1 3/8 hole saw. Give it a try at least and you will save a few hours.
I love the idea of the walnut caps to fill the holes where the nuts used to be, but what about gluing and driving a wooden dowel into the long hole where the all-thread used to be, just for some added strength?? The walnut caps could still be placed over the larger holes where the nuts originally were, giving the same great look you're looking for. I have seen some woodworking benches that were built with lag screws, and after the glue had dried and cured, the screws were removed, and replaced with dowels for an all wood construction. I think I might try this build for an office/computer desk. I am really impressed with how it looks.
i count myself extremely lucky to have lived with my grandparents for 4 years in my late teens (college was closer to them than my parents) i had an amazing time spent with my grandfather, every holiday we would be working on the property doing maintenance and repair work, even some small building jobs - that man sure loved his 2"x4 i think darn near everything was built out of it he had built a workbench himself a few years previously at the last house they lived in but it was to big for the space he had left in the garage/workshop at the new house so we set it up them build a shed round it lol
Cody, just want to say thank you again for all the videos you make. You've helped me undo many very bad techniques I learned. Now i say to myself, would Mr. Wranglerstar say it's good and did i use legacy spec workmanship in every new project. I can't believe how much I've learned from you
Furniture-grade workbench! I wish I had spent more time with my grandfathers. Fortunately for me and my kids, my grandmothers are both still here, but we're guilty of not visiting often-enough. Jack looked SPENT by the end of that race. Those little were pretty cute though. Made me chuckle out-loud.
I wish it was a chilly here. 87 in the mountains of Virginia. No rain in almost 3 months now. I just recently lost a grandfather myself. I know that i wish i would have feeling.
Pound dowels all the way through with glue then the walnut covers hidden extra strength or even the all thread shortened and glued then walnut plugs . Congrats Jack !!
You have such a beautiful family and thank you for sharing your stories,time,and videos with us. And yes I strongly agree about the hardwood plugs for the workbench. It would look absolutely amazing, please do it. God Bless.
When hammering out the all-thread, you used a brass hammer but still damaged the end of it. I like to leave the Nut on the end of the thread, so you can hit that without mushrooming out the end of the thread. Its a great trick for when you need to hammer on Drive Shafts too.
Plumbing in Seattle I’ve seen full floors of buildings built way back when that are true 2x8 on end sandwiched together. When you pull flooring up and expose it, it looks like a massive butcher block floor. It’s pretty impressive.
Great job jack! Our twin boys will be two in October and they’re hugging and saying love you when we put them down for bed man it warms the heart! Sweet loaf is cute as she can be love hearing her talk and her ninja skills are improving! 👍🏻
Cody, could you also turn on the lathe walnut caps? Leave the threaded rod in the table but just make your walnut plugs and press them in! I know the table is bullet proof without it but you could have both extra strength and the fizz at the same time!
That using the drill to back out that all thread trick, Wow! Been doing that on the East Coast for years! We usually use a brace and bit, much faster than that Dewalt.
Hi Cody, My best friend from school lived about 200 yards (0.18 km) from me and after school, we got involved in lots of things and even though he lived so close I was always going to see him tomorrow or the next day. We got married and moved away for a short time and then I moved back home and decided that I would go round and see him. His mother answered the door and told me my friend had been depressed and committed suicide the month before. I was gutted but I will never be able to get that time back or be able to cheer him up as I should have.
Those walnut plugs would look smart, but I feel like the all-thread would keep the tabletop from twisting over time. Someone already mentioned capping the all-thread with the walnut is also doable. Anything doing, is worth over doing!
We are still soaking up the mid to upper 90s down here right now, but that's way better than 106F and up we had a few weeks back.. still wearing shorts and running the a/c down here, lol... love your vids btw...
Re the walnut idea, I’m looking forward to seeing how you turn it down so it’s not just a sliced up dowel with end grain showing . I can think of cutting up squares from a board to glue into a column and then turn that down. But curious to see what you decide to do.
You've already spent the money and time on the all thread, It will just help everything stay tight over many years and you know it's there adding to the robustness. I'd deepen the holes just a little more and put the all thread back in and then cap the holes with the walnut. Or drill a shallow "clearance pocket" in the walnut plugs to allow for the all thread.
Great Grandpa words...if you didn’t visit as much as you think you should have no worries...he’s in your heart forever...as far as the “work table” goes I guess the next step is lace trim...how beautiful....EAST COST here by the way.....lol...
Always wish I'd spent more time with my grandad. He was a fine man and I miss his gentle strength and his faith in me every day. Love you grandad. Hope to see you again one day.
I have the same saws and stands that you have (because if your dewalt video) and I absolutely love them!! I do wish they would make a 10” version of the table saw that used two batteries or an A/C converter. That and a larger table with two miter slots would make it pretty perfect!
You could glue some dowels in the holes then cap the holes with the Walnut. That would be really nice. Or, just trim the all thread back and screw in, then cap with the Walnut.
If you wanted to keep the rods in you could cut them short and then cover them with the walnut. That way you can get the extra strength from the rods and the nice look of the walnut
Cut the bolts down and put the walnut covers over the hard ware, nothing wrong with being overbuilt and lookin good.
Carbon Addiction my thoughts exactly. You can cut a small recess in the walnut for the hardware to fit in.
Why add the weight whenever it serves no purpose? That wood will NEVER come apart.
Because the extra weight is almost non existent and doesn't matter sense its a table that's not gonna be moving?
Carbon Addiction I was going to say the same thing.
This.
In light of recent times I'm heartened to see there's still people like you and your family in this seemingly upside down world. God bless you and your family!
He is setting a great example!
That's so sweet,of the little ones, hugs of true friend ships.
That dude looked whooped crossing that finish line, kudos to him for running with bronchitis! Good job, Jack!
aint nobody got time for bronchitis
The video cut off before we saw his time. How'd he do?
Can tell Jack gave every ounce he had...that is how you should cross the finish line.
I can really relate to the comments regarding spending time...wish I would have put more in before the opportunity was gone.
yeah I agree, My dad takes us to see my grandparents whenever we can, sad that others don't get or feel like they get that chance. Sorry for your loss mate
I’m setting a date to go visit my Dad one night a week.
That story really hit home here.

bc65925 nice analogy ✌️

That ending brought tears to these old eyes. Bless you all.
Cody you must have love your grandfather a lot you can hear the love in your voice when you talk of him.
I like how your place is so organised and everything is where it is. It pays to have a place with so much space to work in. Great work!
Jack is a warrior of a kid, so glad I've gotten to sit here the past 5 years or so and watch you, your family and your channel grow!
Dark walnut inserts would look really smart Cody, yes do it. You could have matching walnut accents on the planned drawer for the bench.
Maybe next time only pull the all thread out like 2-3 inches and cut the excess off and drive it back in
Grand River Wood Co measure both sides add them up and cut from one side. If only I was there to help..;)
Agreed, I might build one of these and thinkin I will leave the all thread in. Can only help from a structural standpoint
Clever
Another great video. What a comfort it is to see you and your family and the love between you. Your blessing at the end of each video goes straight to my heart. Thank you.
I don’t normally get jealous but when I see American DIYers with their giant workshops or garages and every power tool known to man. I wish.
Fire and water are the two most therapeutic things in the world. Watching a fire and listening to a stream/river out in a forest is the very definition of my perfect day.

I would be super interested in that.
George Humphrey I believe he has a video making this one
Is it that one? th-cam.com/video/eGDWzaGVkgo/w-d-xo.html on my phone it's a bit difficult to multitask
@@brandonswendsen7457 oh awesome, i'll have a look for it. thanks.

It’s not a carpenter’s bench... leave the all-thread in!

Its your project, but if it were up to me I'd keep the all thread in it just incase.
The Sweetloaf at the end made the whole video worth watching!
That closing shot was absolutely precious. 💯
I like the wood caps, but originally figured clamping and doweling would have been a nice fit up.

Its not about what place you come in a race, its the effort you put into it and we can all see Jack put his all in. Quality effort Jack nice job

I love your channel! It is full of wisdom. I stumbled across it a few days ago and I am hooked!
i count myself extremely lucky to have lived with my grandparents for 4 years in my late teens (college was closer to them than my parents) i had an amazing time spent with my grandfather, every holiday we would be working on the property doing maintenance and repair work, even some small building jobs - that man sure loved his 2"x4 i think darn near everything was built out of it
he had built a workbench himself a few years previously at the last house they lived in but it was to big for the space he had left in the garage/workshop at the new house so we set it up them build a shed round it lol

Hi from Canada, your stove design (1:50) is the best, with a second drum over it for the heat, the best stove for a Canadian winter
A beautiful gift to jack could be the Esab welder once repaired
@ 17:20 those Dewalt boxes look great on the shelf😁
Furniture-grade workbench! I wish I had spent more time with my grandfathers. Fortunately for me and my kids, my grandmothers are both still here, but we're guilty of not visiting often-enough. Jack looked SPENT by the end of that race. Those little were pretty cute though. Made me chuckle out-loud.
Your beautiful family gives me the fizz brother. Enjoy that time with them.
That double barrel stove build was the first Wranglerstar video I watched
I wish it was a chilly here. 87 in the mountains of Virginia. No rain in almost 3 months now. I just recently lost a grandfather myself. I know that i wish i would have feeling.

Great job, Jack! You'll get 'em next time!
Amen brother on making more time! I am in there right now!
When hammering out the all-thread, you used a brass hammer but still damaged the end of it. I like to leave the Nut on the end of the thread, so you can hit that without mushrooming out the end of the thread. Its a great trick for when you need to hammer on Drive Shafts too.
I liked what you said about spending time with family that’s a very important thing to do even tho sometimes it can get pushed aside.

Great idea to cap those holes with the English Oak. Way ta go Jack ! you gave it your all, well done!
Really been enjoying this series.
Just the wood splitting is enough to warm you up! Love the wood stacks by the way.
I’ve never watched one of your older videos… it was pretty cool… those 2 little girls at the end of the video was so cute…
I like the walnut cover idea! That will look awesome! Can't wait for the next video!
The boy did his best and it showed. Perhaps he still deserves a reward for the effort, considering his ailment?
Great job Jack !! The best you can do is all you can do . Doesn't look like you left anything on the table ! Look like a winner to me .
Great job jack! Our twin boys will be two in October and they’re hugging and saying love you when we put them down for bed man it warms the heart! Sweet loaf is cute as she can be love hearing her talk and her ninja skills are improving! 👍🏻
Awesome! Really enjoying this series.
My grandfather is still alive,I'm from a town out side of New Orleans and moved to Idaho for work I wish I could see him more.
Cody, could you also turn on the lathe walnut caps? Leave the threaded rod in the table but just make your walnut plugs and press them in! I know the table is bullet proof without it but you could have both extra strength and the fizz at the same time!

Is it about time for some more firewood tree cutting videos? That's how I got started watching your channel.
Nice seeing your decision making process unfold - East Coast guy.
OMG the ending! So cute
Re the walnut idea, I’m looking forward to seeing how you turn it down so it’s not just a sliced up dowel with end grain showing . I can think of cutting up squares from a board to glue into a column and then turn that down. But curious to see what you decide to do.

The girls hugging was the best, that's what makes me happy. There is no fakery when it comes to children this young the heart speaks loudest.
Oh the sweet view of Cody loading firewood. Gives me the fizz every year
Great Grandpa words...if you didn’t visit as much as you think you should have no worries...he’s in your heart forever...as far as the “work table” goes I guess the next step is lace trim...how beautiful....EAST COST here by the way.....lol...
Always wish I'd spent more time with my grandad. He was a fine man and I miss his gentle strength and his faith in me every day. Love you grandad. Hope to see you again one day.
All I have to say is Jack’s a lucky man to have that bench passed down to him! 👍👏🙏🇺🇸😃
You should install some of the rockler step on casters on the bench so you can roll it around. It gives it a little more flexibility.
Random suggestion show us what you are looking for when looking for warps and such. Keep up the excellent work.
I have the same saws and stands that you have (because if your dewalt video) and I absolutely love them!! I do wish they would make a 10” version of the table saw that used two batteries or an A/C converter. That and a larger table with two miter slots would make it pretty perfect!
You could glue some dowels in the holes then cap the holes with the Walnut. That would be really nice. Or, just trim the all thread back and screw in, then cap with the Walnut.
i will be so glad when the cold weather gets here!! im redy & waiting..
XC is definitely one of the most demanding sports mentally. Way to go jack. Lessons learned for life. Cool table too. 🤙🏽
If you wanted to keep the rods in you could cut them short and then cover them with the walnut. That way you can get the extra strength from the rods and the nice look of the walnut
Looks like you cut one of the 2x6’s a bit short, seen in the end of the video from the left side of the bench
Your reflections on your grandfather, it was the same for me, and now that my parents are gone, it applies to them as well...
