    I had some old dynamite boxes in the barn that I thought would be perfect for the drawer fronts of the workbench. I flattened them out and glued them down to plywood backing, before cutting them out on the CNC table and attaching them to the drawer boxes. I fired up the forge and hammered out some square bar on the anvil to make some handles. Lastly, I move in the big heavy tool box.

    Man, those cabinets look incredible. I'm so happy you're back making videos, but I can see that you've been busy outside of TH-cam. I'm sure between farming, being a husband, and becoming a Dad to two beautiful girls, you don't have a lot of leftover time... Thank you, as always, for bringing us along.

    I stumbled on this while looking up designs for metal workbenches and holy crap. I now went from just buying some metal tubing and heavy gauge metal for a top to second guessing everything and wanting to try something like this. This workbench is a work of art. If I had something that looked that amazing I would always be afraid of damaging the looks. Guess it is a good thing I'm not even a tenth as good as you are with this stuff.

    I didn’t have a nice work bench like this in my old shop but some reclaimed cabinets from a house I was hired to remodel. There’s one thing that made them super special to me though. When my boys were still little I let them have some sharpies and go to town on the inside of the bigger cabinet door sections. When I was in the shop the two of them would hang out inside the cabinet just talking and giggling with the doors closed. They would draw and write stuff all over the inside. After we moved to a new place I wish I would have taken them with me. I absolutely love looking in there when they went around and reading and looking at all the stuff the did. Made me feel like they were still there even when they were at school.

    @aserta 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    7:48 you should add some barn style doors to the back and front of the forge so that the heat doesn't escape the forge so easily. That's a lot of wasted heat after all. A simple method to make shutter doors is to weld some angle iron to the face (pointing up) and then making the doors to hook unto that angle iron allowing you to slide them in and out to adjust the aperture.
