I'm getting ready to build a garage bench and a woodworking bench for my basement shop. I've watched many bench building videos. You did a nice job on this. well done!

[@dalerussell6809]

Well boss I was trained by my grandfather with an ancient shop smith he found in pieces in a field, bravo boss I new you we're special

[@shanenagore2667]

Good job. Thanks for posting.

[@jimrosson6702]

Looks great and great job

[@kirkbyars243]

Great video. I wouldn't have glued the bread board end onto the tenons. This will not allow for the expansion and contraction of the top and may lead to cracks and even breakage in the ends.

You gave me a couple of good ideas for my third iteration for my workbench!

[@NCMGuitarsandCustomWoodworking]

That's awesome! Thanks for subscribing

[@ryoukosan11]

Nice bench! Definitely has given me a few design ideas for my next bench build. Just curious, but by completely gluing the breadboard ends on, are you concerned about the top possibly warping due to wood movement?

[@NCMGuitarsandCustomWoodworking]

I'm not concerned about it, but if it does warp like a bannana, I'll post an update about it on instagram.

[@tomowens2720]

If anything the wood itself will crack. If you don’t live in an area with wide temp variations prolly won’t be an issue

[@faakfjaes]

Great video. Keep at it - i’m looking forward to seeing more from you! I’m sure it won’t explode in a shower dust and chips from all the wood movement 😅
One piece of constructive (i hope) critique. The narration sounds a lot like you reading out loud from a manuscript - it’s a bit jarring. If so, maybe you could try to just remember the key points, and then speak it out in a natural language like you would, if your viewers were right there in the workshop with you.

Leaning over the table saw to check your cut, with string from your hoodie dangling down makes me nervous.

[@NCMGuitarsandCustomWoodworking]

That makes me nervous too, thanks for watching! I appreciate your feedback.

[@MrWaldorfian]

I guess you don't care or don't know about wood movement? Otherwise an excellent workbench/table thing.

[@NCMGuitarsandCustomWoodworking]

I'll keep you posted, thanks for watching :)

[@tomowens2720]

Likely didn’t know I’m thinking. Better to be helpful than sarcastic

[@tomowens2720]

What he said about hoodie strings and long sleeves too. If you have a cold shop gonna wear long sleeves.
Bench turned out very nice. Not sure what the deal is with that face vice though.
