My wife and I love your channel. We know that you are not a woodworker who is a Dad. You are a great Dad that does woodworking. Thank you.
Thank you! You're exactly right.
"this is why we spend time together, for moments like this"
amen
The best part of this project is the memories you and your daughters will always cherish. I have pictures of my son pounding on 10 inch stakes on a retaining wall "we" built when he was 3. The extra time that my helper cost me were well worth the memories we both have of working on it together.
100% Thanks for sharing that story!
very touching scene of you working with your daughters. I built a little boat with my son when he was 7 or 8. The boat was nothing special, we only took it out once, but the memory of doing it with him is something I am sure that we'll both remember for the rest of our live. He's 24 now and I hope some day he'll build something with his kids.
The things I've built with my kids are my favorite builds ever. They're not special to everyone, but they sure are too us. Thanks for sharing that story!
I love the videos that don't have music, they are very popular too.
I sketched up some plans for a workbench of my own that combines some elements of a few different types of well estalished bench designs, and I was pretty proud of it. I even reached out to a realtively well known wood worker on here for their thoughts, where I was met with "nice try, but don't mess around with the classics." This video is all I needed to realize that there isn't one person out there who has all the answers and that my bench is going to come out great. Well done, man!
Thanks! Remember, Rule #1 is that it's your workbench.
after watching many corkniffing woodworking youtubers with all the fancy woodpeckers and festool toys while they press buttons on a cnc half the time, its great to see theres actually a few channels that actually show the blue collar woodworker struggles. that being said, i wont get too made once your channel blows up and you get all those fancy tools lol
Ha! Thank you. It helps that I don't know how to do CNC.
This channel is always so much fun to watch. Love the girls being involved. We raised two, so I know how it is.
I've been remodeling our entire house for the last 3 years, including a new roof. I'm dying to turn my attention to my workshop, but don't have time yet. I've watched a lot videos on benches to get ideas on how I want to build it.
Not one of the great workshops came up with the brilliant idea the worst workshop did. Making an extending apron from an old garage door track is freaking ingenious!
Thanks! It still works as an apron too. Doesn't even budge.
10-15 years sounds like a long time... but it goes past so quickly, spending time with the kids & later the grand kids is more precious than anything else in the world...Keep creating memories❤ & things from your workshop.
It's always felt short to me. Thank you!
I too suffer from the dilemma of formerly being 20 and thinking I still am.
Is there a cure, or just more Advil?
@@worstworkshop idk about cure, but naps definitely make me move less like an 80yo and more like my actual age😅
This is the first of your videos I've watched ,and I have to say I really like your style of presentation. It was really enjoyable. I'm going to subscribe now and hope to watch many more enjoyable videos from you.
Thank you so much@
Your helpers are the best.
They're pretty great, huh?
Absolutely great video seeing your girls out there helping you making them memories the workbench turned out great. Glad you are doing ok 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you!! We're doing great!
your "rule of thumb joke" coupled with the "please dont unsubscribe" remark is exactly why I just subscribed! lol im here for those kinds of jokes!
You're in the right place then!
My wife: you okay honey?
Me: yep.. just tearing up at this extremely wholesome workbench build
HAHAHA!! Glad you enjoyed it.
I love the family connection you have and the appreciation for those moments with your kids, and love the velveta humor.
Thanks!
You are one of my TH-cam faves.
I have two daughters as well, strikingly similar to yours. I joke with them like you joke with yours, and drag them into my projects every now and then.
Thanks for keeping it real. Your common sense approach to problem solving is inspiring.
Thank you! And keep at it.
I love the bench! Especially the expanding section. Awsome combination of multiple designs.
Glad you like it. Steal from the best!
Great dad jokes and good editing. Cool ideas for a very functional workbench.
Thanks!
Love the bench! You have some great memories and quality time spent with your daughters, I definitely think they will tell that story someday! I like the way you explain things and enjoyed this video very much so I subscribed! Looking forward to more!
Thanks a lot!
Love the way you made the workbench to suit your personal needs instead of conforming to "rules". I am quite tall so my workbench looks crazy to most people. Also great to see you sharing the work with your family.
Thank you! The "rules" are important to know and understand, but beyond that, it's about your style of woodworking.
I’m impressed. That is an awesome bench. I like your creativity and I want to build one of these now. 😊
It is an awesome bench. It's not perfect, but it was never supposed to be.
The expandable apron is ingenious! You can use it to support sheet goods while ripping them down without damaging the tabletop!
You must have felt really proud when your daughter decided to stay and learn how to make a mortice. Even if nothing else comes of it, it was a great bonding moment.
Exactly! And yes, I was a little surprised, but I wasn't kidding about it being an afternoon I'll always remember.
Seriously. I'm getting ready to build a modular workbench and just added that to the list of design upgrades.
Workbench turned out a treat! Really well done.
Thank you, my friend!
Love the extending apron idea. Even more, I love your comments about time with your daughters. So true. People talk about quality time vs quantity time but it's the quantity time that leads to the quality times. I have memories about working with my sons. They're grown now and tell me about significant moments that they remember that I either didn't make note of myself or have forgotten. Good job, Dad!
That's good to hear. I love being a dad. It's the best thing ever.
Great to see you posting again!!❤
Thanks!
I don't think i was going to like a random video that shows up in the middle of my tech videos, i'm not a woodworker anymore due to my horrible vision at 55, did just get a cornea transplant that still has 16 stitches in my eye, mixed about that right now. But you're easy to listen too, and with a couple girls of my own, much older, if you can get them at that age to help you must be doing something right, so i like this video. I have several work benches i have built. Good work.
I really appreciate the time you spent watching it and commenting. All the best!
Love it! The family stuff hits home for me. Great video, and bench. I bet you're going to love having that space and the vices in the shop!
Already do! Thanks, my friend.
Great video as always! I love the extension you added to the bench, that is so handy and a great idea!
Thanks! I was sort of surprised it works so well.
Keep the Vids coming ! As a father of 2 Daughters I can relate (although they never took to woodworking, they certainly take advantage of my wood working!) ... I love how real your videos are. Cheers!
I appreciate it!!
Another great video! I was really happy to see your co-stars come out to help. I've been needing to build a work bench for my shop for quite a while now, but I keep putting it off, okay procrastinating doing it. I keep telling myself that I need to build a new miter saw station, especially one that doesn't have 5 different saws (ranging from chop saws to radial arm saws, and finally a real miter saw) in the middle of the way and actually has a recess that fits my good miter saw. I also need to build an outfeed table for the table saw. Anyway, you gave me some great ideas, and I really appreciate your innovation and ability to think outside the box to make things work. I hope everything is wonderful with you and your family. Please take care and have an amazing week.
Everything is great, Mark. Thank you, and all the best on your build.
Love your videos. Another great one. Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks! I just subbed your channel. Can wait to check out your work a little more.
@@worstworkshop thanks for that. Not as talented as you are. Especially in the video/editing department but maybe one day.
Excellent video! I’ve been wood working most of my life but I still learned a few things from your video. Just a lot of good information!!
Thank you! I think not having money for lots of new tools forces me to think differently.
Great workbench, thanks for the video. I have been wanting to build a new bench top with dog holes for a while now. Watched a bunch of other videos and everyone makes it seem like you have to be so precise and use expensive templates and jigs. It was great to see you did it with a homemade jig and weren’t worried about being that precise.
Thanks! I just ran into your video yesterday with the stanchion...thing? Great work! I love your sense of humor.
Love the table; extension skirt-thingy is a really good idea. Also, I love how you interact with, include, and involve your daughters.
Thanks so much!
Wow, the expandable idea was genius! I may try something like that on my Sjoberg. Good video my man 👍
Do you have a stable full of trash too?
First video of yours I've seen and you have a subscriber!!! Corny jokes check, modest guy doing new things check! Keep up the good work!! Built my bench last year and feel similar...joy to make and hope it goes through generations!!! Well done!!!!
Thanks a lot!
Was great seeing your kids in the shop with you. Time well spent! Wish more channels did this.
Wish more dads did this. Maybe we'll inspire somebody.
Another great build man. Love the expandable section of the table 🤟
Glad you like it!
Great build! Excellent idea of using a standing table for an outfeed table, going to have to pick one up.
I was a little surprised at how useful it's been. Mounting things at weird heights, lifting things up. It gets used a lot in my shop.
Love your channel! Its real!
Thank you so much!
Sir, you are an artist, thank you.
High praise. Thank you very much!
Moments like this made me smile. . . Never forget these afternoons
I'm sure I never will. Thanks!
Great bench!!! the extending apron is brilliant! Rule of Thumb and Boring... Nicely delivered sir! And as always, great times in the shop making memories with your daughters! Us Girl Dads rule!😀
I love it. Thank you!
The apron is brilliant! Well done.
Thank you!!
This channel is awesome! Keep it up! I hope to one day finish my work bench to also have a flat top and dog holes...
Thanks!
Great video David! I love the wingnut trick!
Thanks 👍
stunning bench bud. Really nice. Innovative idea with the extension too. Wish I had seen this before adding my near useless wings lol.
What? Your design was solid!! Are they just too small or something?
Great video, great build and great message! Also I gotta say I love the line where you say "and this is where we run into the 1st challenge" after we just got done watching you hoist a 80 lb bench top into your planer to find out it don't fit. 😂
That's hilarious. Didn't catch that. Anxiously waiting your next video!
Another great video and project. I really like the extending arm. I can think of lots of things that it will be useful for. - Chris
Thanks! I've already had a few times I needed it.
Nice job, the appron was great idea. Glad your feeling better.
Thanks!
Very much enjoyed your video. Nice job
Thank you very much!
Really excellent work, dude! The bench turned out fantastic! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks! We will.
Great stuff!
Thank you!
Been awhile since a cool, new woodworking channel was recommended.. diggin’ it!
Well, thanks! I'm doing my best. Glad you're enjoying it.
Well that was entertaining as all heck my friend! From that router sled you just threw together, your cool drum sander, awesome choice of music at 15:40 and especially you working with your daughters making those forever memories. Looking forward to more of your channel and your whimsical spirit! Way to go!
Well, thanks. It's honestly a crime that it has more views than your does though. My jaw was on the floor through the whole thing.
Great video as always mate. I've just finished my work bench so pity u didn't get onto this earlier, could of saved me some pain haha!
Likely would have just added to it. Congrats on finishing!
That patreon video was awesome!!!
My family has certainly enjoyed watching it over and over!
Man I love the channel huge inspiration boss love the family time too
Thanks! Looks like we're on the same workshop journey. Does the mess ever end?
@worstworkshop lol we are funny enough I just got heat in here and my next videos will be on workbenches
Great video. You're gilrs are awesome.
Thanks so much!
I am watching your videos nearly since your beginning and i keep on for more. Really cool workbench right there. I hope my two daughters will help me when they get to the age of yours.
Best regards from germany 😊😊
Danke! I hope so too.
Having your daughters work with you on this project was so nice to see. Reminded me of when my daughter and I worked together on Habitat for Humanity homes.
Those projects are so much fun. I love working with Habitat.
Already built my bench (Rex Kreuger plans) but had to watch. I'm very happy with my bench but the techniques I learned from you are invaluable. Awesome video and even more awesome family. Nothing like dad jokes from a real dad ... I know because MY son's deadpan reactions to mine are priceless.
Thanks a lot!
Great video, David! Impressive numbers after only 3 days! I just noticed your smiley face on the wall at the end of the vid... tee hee. You must be so proud of your new workbench. What a memory for you and your girls!
Thanks, Brett! The best thing about it is knowing we built it together.
Just found your channel. Very nice video. Subbed. Great job!
Thank you!
Love these videos. My daughter has just started to show minor interest in doing some projects with me (shes 5)
Time for me to get the workshop sorted!
Small, fast projects. The events at Home Depot where they guide kids in building projects are fun too!
@@worstworkshop being a carpenter / joiner with a love of cabinet making we definitely have no shortage of ideas! You're absolutely right on the small fast projects though, she gets bored of it pretty quickly! Her first little project was making a T, the first letter of her name.
Awesome workbench you guys made here! Great video, and your voice-over/story telling is just great, so nice to listen to.
16:00 this is such a clever idea! I made the Paul Sellers Plywood workbench for my shop, but in the future I might transform it into something similar to yours!
Thanks! The Paul Sellers bench is a great design. I studied it (and a bazillion others) when I was preparing to build this.
@@worstworkshop Ow yes, I did the same. Was also very interested in the Roubo, even contemplated buying a Sjöbergs. After all I went for what I could make myself the easiest way. The joinery on the plywood bench is really very clever and simple, yet sturdy as heck.
Great video love the humor & family time, New subscriber here
Thanks! Glad you're here.
My first view. You're a natural. Your girls are also naturals. They wouldn't be in the shop if you guys didn't love each other.New subscriber.
Thank you so much.
Again a fun watch! good job and it looks like you are getting some views too! awesome
Thanks! It's always stressful putting a video out for people to see.
Excellent job, you will remember that day with Princess every time you have a moment of reflection and will smile every time a bit of frustration sets in. I’m planning to do something similar sans “tool well” but need it to breakdown because I’ll mostly be working outside or is a quonset hut style shelter. Really like your vice solution and and saved the video just for that tip when I build mine.
I'm glad. If you look for Moxon Vises, you'll find a ton of videos. Some are permanently attached and some are clamped on, which might be better for a breakdown bench. Good luck!
@@worstworkshop Stumpy Nubs has a couple of good videos on Moxons, but you have better dad jokes.
@@worstworkshop yours looks like a much more economical approach from the ones i’ve seen and just as functional
It’s nice to see someone showing the next generation it’s ok to work with your hands.
I try. It comes easier to some than to others.
The sliding apron is a work of pure genius...I'm adding that to my new bench plans....and I'm also doing the same on the opposite side with the addition of two bench screws to make the mother of all vises!
That's awesome. I've been using the extension all week, and it's a life-saver.
I really like the sliding apron. I am thinking of how to incorporate one for my outfeed table.
That's a great idea!
Absolutely loved this video. You had me laughing with some of your comments. Keep up the good work! (P.S. And I did learn a thing or two.)
I'm usually better at entertaining than educating. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Its awesome you can do woodworking with your kids. So cool man. It defintiely ahould continue ro be passed down.
Thank you. I hope they'll learn to appreciate it. I know that even if they don't take too woodworking, the memories matter.
Thanks for sharing the update on your absence I was wondering if that holding chair actually killed you 😆 But in all seriousness glad everything is OK 👍
I thought I was the only one wide hand tool workbench that I could also use break do plywood 👍🏾💯
Not anymore!
Nice video buddy! 👍
Thanks a lot!
Well dang man..... You beat me to it.
Must be workbench season 🤔🤔
Isn't it always workbench season?
Interesting bench build; love the had; I have a couple of dollies in my world too. Nothing better than daddy-daughter time.
100%
Watching you try to load 2 slabs in the planer was pricless! Great vid
We've all had those moments. Thanks!
@@worstworkshop it's great that you share these builds with your kids. Respect
Best video yet! Thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely steal some ideas for my own bench! Thought I was the only one still using a corded drill 😂
Right? Why does no one use corded drills anymore? Thanks a lot!
@@worstworkshop same with sanders why does no one use air sanders anymore???
Thanks!
AW!! Thanks a ton!!
That was a great video! And so smart to use a flexispot stand for adjustable heights!
Thank you! I turn down most sponsorship offers, but got to thinking about everything I could do with that desk and really wanted one.
@@worstworkshopmy favorite part about that sponsorship spot (okay, other than the absolutely adorable way you shot it) was four minutes later, when you were hauling both slabs around and trying to feed them into the router. ;P
Oh, also: first video of yours I've seen. Love it, subscribing.
I thought you were going to incorporate the lift table into half of your bench. I dig what you came up with. I’m doing some mental design for an outfeed/side wing table for my old Delta contractors table saw right now. I think I’ve got it figured out I just have to get the garage cleaned up so I have room to build it and record the process. I’ll probably get it done in a couple of weeks or so.
I'd love to see it! And yes, it would have been a great idea to just incorporate that standing desk. It would have made a great frame for the bench too. I'd already started by the time I heard from Flexispot though.
That anaesthesia video is a great way to advertise your patreon!
Thanks!
Thank you for all your time and effort. 1in7
Thanks for your comment!
Always like the kids involved here.
You and me both!
Your videos are a joy. Though not as quotable as "The Princess Bride" or "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" several of your comments made me laugh. Now I'll just have to rewatch so I can remember them 🙂
Thank you, Mike! Glad you enjoyed it.
+1 subscriber, just for you having gotten your daughters to help with the commercial 😂.
great woodworking too. back when i started, i made my own bench too, because they don't make them for people my size! its also a cross between a nickelson, a rubou, and a joiners bench, with a European and American twist or two.
That's what I'm talking about! You basically did what I did. You took the best ideas from everywhere and worked them all into your bench.
@@worstworkshop really whatever works and fits your space!
i look forward to hearing how the missing front support works out in the long run.
i made my bottom supports a little lower than standard and have juust enough room to put a foot or two on it when my stool is pulled up. maybe i will redo the mortises and put it higher instead so i can sit with a chair?
also, instead of a corded drill, i grabbed some old bits, and the brace my grandfather used to use on the farm to do my holes. i timed it... just as fast as the spade bit on an electric drill. way more fun.
That bench looks solid. It'll do the business.
Hopefully for a long, long time. Or until I get bored with it and decide to build another.
@@worstworkshop I've seen some workbenches that are more like fine furniture than utilitarian shop fixtures. I lean more towards the modest myself though.
A member of the sliver haired club here; I’m enjoying this video. Getting my12 year old or wife to help me requires an act of congress. And yes, I am still 20 (35 years ago).
I mean...enough Advil and we can all be 20, right?
@@worstworkshop Isn’t that the truth!
Great working wood bench, built with pride and with ur Kid's. They should be using the wood bench with their Kid's.
I sure hope so!
I once built a table for my grandfather, he got frustrated because I made him go all over the place "working" at different height workbenches. I wanted his table to fit him, not me. He passed last weekend, I wonder if I can bring that workbench home as a memento.
That really touches me. What an honor to build a bench for your grandad. I once built mine a box for the magazines he kept beside his chair, and he used it until the day he died. I've never been more proud of a project. Thanks for sharing that!
besides screwguns everything in my shop has a cord, you don't miss what you don't have and I'm like cool hand Luke lassoing them around
I'm the same. I'd like to have a cordless sawzall or something too, but my shop has plugs everywhere..
Ah man! In your after surgery video, I was hoping for a Near Death Experience testimonial. Jokes are cool. That's why I watch your videos. Love & hugs..
Personally, I'm glad it wasn't a near-death experience! Thanks for checking it out!
When are you doing a video on "How to make a homemade drum sander"? Ok now that the comment to help your engagement numbers is done: Love the video 😍
Ha! Thanks for the help.
Your dark haired dancing daughter always cracks me up. Keep up the great work!
She's a trip! (Do people still say that?)
@@worstworkshop I still use that term all-of-the-time! hahah
The corded drill joke was awesome. I had a project where my cordless drill wouldn’t do it. I got the most inexpensive name brand corded drill I could find at a local ACE (Black and Decker). About broke my wrist with the torque it generated. So yea, a corded drill does come in handy.
