- In this video I'm making a very heavy workbench out of two discarded fire doors, a load of pallet wood, and other scrap material.

a workbench like that is every mans dream.. awesome job
Thanks Billy :)
And the most awesome of women too😉
Awesome. I love that you show how to break down in simple steps on how to do some joinery without all the talking.
Also, awesome job at cutting straight lines with a jigsaw. I can't cut a straight line with a jigsaw to save my life.
Giving a new meaning to "Built like a tank". Beatiful.
That workbench is going to last for the next 250 years and beyond. Really great. When I am finally getting around to set up my woodworking shop in the very near future this one will serve me as an example. Thanks.
Best woodworking channel on TH-cam.
Thanks :)
100 percent agreed mesmerising to watch
I throughly enjoyed 37min without blinking my eyes...no talking no babling...quite guy...but hell of a genius fella.
Thanks very much :)
That's what I call a work bench!
Love all the care to make "just" a workbench!! And those knobs are the coolest!!
You keep one upping yourself video after video. Amazing.
Every time one of these videos pops up, I think to myself "no way can this build top the last one" . And every time I'm wrong! Absolutely amazing work, every single time.
Thanks David :)
@@EpicUpCycling I saw your title about a very solid bench, that reminded me of a welding bench a driver/mechanic made in my dad's shop. The thing probably weighed nearly a thousand pounds, the vises would break before the bench would flip over. ;)
I'm beginning to think you can't speak. Love these videos man. Better than watching TV.
in the words of Bobby Duke, I want that!
And here folks, we have a bloody mad man in his natural environment.
What a treat this guy is.
It's always a pleasure to see your work, Stephen King!
Thank you! Been trying to figure out who he reminded me of! LOL
I knew it.
I was just going to say this is what Stephen King does when he isn’t writing.
Love it, love it, love it. I have begun a pallet collection, it's become an obsession, wondering everytime I see a pallet if the owner wants to part with it, lol. I have made a wheel barrow planter, not exactly a Victorian display cabinet or a dream bench. 😂 perhaps if I keep watching I'll strike out and build something bigger. Thanks for sharing your amazing skills, you never cease to amaze.
I ask for one like you in my life !!!.
Who needs expensive machinery? Top job mate.
Thanks David :)
He has good machinery!
@@pretty-eyes I’m having a go at the festool army
Wow, that is just wow!!! You are one of the least rated carpenters on TH-cam, but one of the best. Your craftsmanship is one of a kind. Stay healthy!
Thanks :)
Good job. I especially like the removable nail and screw bins.
built a table with doors befor never looked this good
You are the only woodworker I've ever seen who isn't afraid of nails. Just nails everywhere, and it works. Why doesn't anyone else use nails?
They do, they just use brad nails and a gun, less organic though.
@ChristIsLord229 Which organism produces nails, again?
im 62 and a 3rd generation carpenter my grandfather used tools this way loved to see your craftmanship using the old tools
this man is my role model
You Sir are a wooden God💪👍
Spectacular. And I thought ahead and bought popcorn.
I am convinced you are an Elven Lord with magic greater then Gandalfs and Merlin combined. Every video I watch of yours just wows me!
Thanks :)
I like the little drawers a lot. They are my favorite.
Just got flashbacks to when a friend asked me to pop over to help him get his workbenches new top on.
When I got there I was a little confused to find 2 of his other mates already there. It turned out the new bench top was made by gluing hundreds of 6" lengths of pallet wood together so the wood grain went vertically. Don't know why that grain orientation was important, I just know it was over 3 meters long, over a meter wide, and weighed well in excess of 200kg. It took all 4 of us because we needed to get it from where he'd assembled it in his garage, down his garden, up 3 steps and into his workshop through a standard sized door. Humphing that thing into place nearly bloody killed us all ! :D
Wow, I thought my bench was solid. That thing sounds incredible :)
@@EpicUpCycling I don't know about incredible, but I do find it slightly odd to see how a hammer bounces on it, like if you were tapping an anvil. I also have a very clear memory of telling him at the time that if he ever moved I'd only help him get the thing back out if it meant I got to use my chainsaw. :)
The frame it's on weighs more than the top though. If I remember correctly, it's got 8 uprights that may have been made from new railway sleepers (They have to be getting on for those kind of dimensions), but luckily he built all that in situe without help. One end of the top has now been routered down by an inch so he could let in a 36x36x1" slab of pig iron as a place for when he needs to do "Serious hammering on stuff". Considering the total mass of the bench before hand, I think, as a percentage of the original weight, the extra mass this added would be akin to if I PAINTED my flimsy little workbench !!! :D
On the other hand, 20odd years on, apart from some oil stains, paint splatters, and a handful of saw/router gouges in it, his bench top is still perfectly acceptable. In that same time I've had to replace more than a few 1" plywood tops on my benches.
I have no idea where you get your ideas from but please do not stop, it gives me something to look forward to.
I do appreciate the time and effort and skill to create the joinery in your builds.
Just Beautiful Workmanship...Long Lost Skill...Will You Build Me One...Keep Making these Amazing Projects
You're amazing. Love the bottle cap handles ❤
This is incredible. Pure wood working - as good as it gets. Also love the fact that you use nails and chisels, instead of relying on machines to do everything.
Thanks very much for the comments :)
That's because this guy is a genius. This is the third time I have watched this one and never get bored. Definitely the GOAT.
I've only rcently discovered your channel and I'd just like to say you are an absolutely wonderful craftsman. What makes everything even better is you just get on with it. No chatter, blaring music or silly time wasting gimmicks. Bravo!
Thanks very much :)
I wanna second this… exactly what I wanted to say…❤
Amazing skills. Looks like the high school technical studies work benches
Solid core firedoor is by far the easiest solution for flatness, lipping with apron and adding a vice. Easily replaced if you build it so.
Wow, what a beautiful workbench!!! This is the kind of woodworking I like.
All you CNC/laser cutter boys eat your heart out.
Thanks K M :)
Absolute masterpiece! I watch these like a suspense movie, on the edge of my seat. What's he gonna do with those bottle caps? ... oh no!, why is he cutting an angle on that perfect box. This guy is the real deal. Quickly becoming my favorite TH-cam channel.
this guy has it down to an art.
Great job Friend! Thank you for sharing the video and build with us!💖👌👍😎JP
The BEST channel for reusing older more seasoned wood . . Hes showing people that wood is wood and once cleaned up is still useful for repurposing into other products . .never simply disgard that old growth timber if you can help it :)
The only mystery to me is how there could be only 209k subscribers to this channel and 15k likes on this video after 863k views, something is wrong with over half a million people. Outstanding content and delightful to watch the inventive ways you work the project. Subscribed and waiting for the next treat.
Thanks very much :)
I,m not worthy. This was amazing.
What a fascinating little planer/jointer!
LOVE the bottle cap handles. Brilliant and fun!
I watch several makers on TH-cam, I love your work. Limited use of power tools and the rest is done by hand tools. No special tools or overpriced tools. I wish I had a shop big enough to do some of these projects.
My thoughts as well, Micheal... A refreshing absence of high cost power tools and gadgets. Nice to see a radial arm saw in use again...
Russ
Just taught me to scribe with my sliding square, never thought of it before 👌🏻
Like the bottle cap knobs. No matter where I have worked over the years I have not had a bench that was high enough.
Me: See, this is why I never throw any wood away!
My wife: OK, but when are you going to actually make something?
Lol. Its the other way round for me.
Something my wife tells me....
My issue is to get her to throw crap away.
I feel attacked.....
How many of us are there that are married to this woman? How much Dewalt do you need to make up a lack of (insert flaw here)?
I am always in awe with every project. This one is no different.
You make me want to give up papercrafting, kick my husband out of his workshop and take up woodwork! Amazing work!!
Thanks :)
That’s not a bench that is a piece of furniture,it would not look out of place in a kitchen or dining room! Another tremendously interesting video I always look forward to each new release.
Thanks Mike :)
I've watched a number of your videos and each and every time you amaze me. Your handiwork, your creativity and your careful execution of the work you do is outstanding! It makes me wish I had a quarter of your talent! Thank you for not having loud and obnoxious music blasting in the background as you craft the incredible and useful pieces of artwork!
Thanks very much :)
@@EpicUpCyclingwhat brand is your jointer / planer? Thanks!

I've lost count of how many times I've rewatched this video.
You make me feel so lazy and inspired at the same time.
Love it, Love it, Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s a jointer/planer combo?!? That’s awesome!
Forget the workshop, I want this as a cutting table in my sewing room. Gotta love the drawer knobs, such a brilliant idea and looks great!
I gave a like because you are Stephen King's lookalike Good Working
Those boxes on the end are such a great idea.
Thanks :)
The whole thing is gorgeous but my mind was blown by the bottle caps. Genius!
Thanks :)

If i'm channel surfing, and i come across a 'reality tv show,' 5 seconds and I want to bang my head against the wall. It's like a firestorm in my head, but I've been watching these post for over 5 hours, and my neuro-receptors are all aligned, and at peace.
Most skilled at using a hammer and nails! Great looking bench and I'm sure it will survive a 1000 years.
Thanks :)
Oh my goodness....the inspiration of this is beyond words. This is the type of man you want to do an internship under.
Watching your videos always makes me feel like I've been given this awesome gift. I feel privileged that I get to watch you build these amazing projects. Thank you.
Thanks :)
You teach us all, so patiently, there is no such thing as scrap, just some things and pieces we haven't found re-use for.
The design and function are spectacular!
Thanks Joe :)
Very nice workbench. I appreciate all the detail. Please add the "save" button to this video, I will not be able to find it later without it.
Another relaxing 37:20 minutes wondering how you are going to make this happen - then it's done - a joy to have bumped into your TH-cam page - again - thanks for sharing
I think I’ll show this video to my darling wife and say “See , this is why I never throw anything away that can be used sometime down the road”. Excellent job.
Thanks Dirk :)
You are not the only one who has said those same words.
Good luck. My head still hurts. I remember saying it…. Then not much else ;)
Your Quite the craftsman, I give you credit job well done I’ll be looking forward to your videos.
Your
With your work, you have brought back so many wonderful childhood memories. Like yourself, my grandfather was a very crafty man, he built his own workbench, and when he moved his worship to a larger space, I helped him to disassemble the mammoth thing and re-assemble back all again. It took us about 3 days to do the job, and it was hard (especially when I was only about 13 years of age), but in the process, I learned so much about wood, design, construction, tenacity, and self-pride. How proud you must be to have made your own furniture. I envy you. A great pleasure to watch you work. Thank you for the opportunity. Cheers
Thanks for the comments :)
always a pleasure these videos
Warm and fuzzy workbench :)
Incredible what you can build with wood.
I never get tired of watching your videos.
Los manos de este hombre me demuestran que no siempre las máquinas hacen el mejor trabajo, sus manos quitan lo mejor del trabajo con maderas, reciclaje, tratado, segunda vida a materiales usados, toda una maestría en carpintería, me encanta este canal, de mayor ojala llegue a ser un poco como El. Gracias.
Thanks :)
I would like to see you in person to shake your hand as sincerely as possible.You are a Big Man
I see the doors. Got it. Those are nice. Great find. Thank you for the video.
i saw my notification, i clicked it, full screen. I never even saw the title until i watched it all. Why? because what you build isint important. its the process and watching something come together that i most enjoy about your content.
Also it was fun to guess what was going on the whole time.
Splendid build. Thanks for uploading.
Thanks :)
I love the creative way he recycles stuff like bottle caps to give the workbench some personality while still being functional and very practical. And stylish. Now he needs a bigger workshop and some extra cash to build it! I'm always waiting to see what he can think of next and he never fails to impress me. Next video here I come!
Truly an epic upcycle.
Wow! What a handsome workbench!
I’m so jealous of your skill level and enormous amount of patience but what really blows me away is your thought process and how you think them up. Respect sir.
Thanks Michael :)
I had been wondering when this was coming! I’m ready to dive right in, mate.
Poetry in motion!
Ingenuity level- extreme.
Excited for the new video. I know my whole family will be happy to watch!
30:55! ‘All hail the Chicken and Mushroom Pot Noodle’! That’s two of yr five a day!
Hi da solid workbench is a great idea every work shop should have 1
You can literally hear how dry that wood is when you have it in your hands lol, love it.
Love everything about this build. I also recycle nails in the same way. Nice work on the bottle top handles -- very creative!
Thanks :)
You should consider making a paid site where you explain your process, your planning and go into detail on each of the steps. It would be an insta-join for me

That’s a snazzy work bench! Really liked the bottle cap resizing tool. Well hold on, “really liking”? I REALLY LIKE every single video you put out! And the resizing tool was one of those, will you look at that! surprises.
Best thing I saw in long time!
Holy cow! Just watching from beginning to end absolutely amazed me. To create a piece so magnificent is nothing short of sheer talent. Love to have this in my kitchen as a true work station. It’s so neat and really cool. Cheers!
Thanks very much for the comments :)
An excellent project. A lot of care and effort here in giving those bits and pieces a new life in your shop. One suggestion: find a decent used or new circular saw to use in place of that jig saw for long cuts. You’ll find it is quicker and with the use of a guide, much more accurate. I really liked the reuse of those bottle caps. A cool look.
Can only describe that workbench one way, ''BEAUTIFUL, trimmed with character.''
Thanks :)
Oh man! I really like that. Thank you for sharing.
That is a very impressive workbench. Love the use of the bottle caps.
I feel like I am watching my grandpa.... craftsmen like this are so rare.
😂😂😂 love the idea of the bottle tops never seen that before 👍🏼
Отличный верстак!!!
when I saw you putting the door on top of the frame, I was just thinking "no way"... These pieces, the videos and your relaxed style are a blessing and they are amazing to watch.
Thanks Philipp :)
