    I bought this for my friend for his birthday as we just moved into a new house and he finally has room for a workshop. The bench was very easy to set up th-cam.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh They center support is a little difficult to snap in and out of place at first but at least then we know the bench is secure. It was a pleasant surprise when we saw it came with clamps. I apparently missed that in the description. My friend loves the versatility of the bench. Great starter bench for his workshop and easily transportable all over our property. I wish the bench was a little taller but the other features of the bench more than make up for that.

    I watched this video for the first time about four years ago. Everything about it matched my situation perfectly. I had an available wall and needed storage, a worktop for bench tools, a miter station, and if the planets aligned, an integrated pseudo woodworking bench. It has taken this long to not only figure out exactly how I wanted the end product to be, but to get over the fear of making a costly mistake or ending up with something I didn't like. I have finally taken a leap of faith and have started the project. So far, I am extremely pleased with the results. I've watched countless other TH-cam videos regarding workshop cabinets and have to say, if you have slanting garage floors, this is the most efficient and accurate technique out there. So, a sincere thank you, Mr. Wood Whisperer, for this video and your years of service helping countless less experienced woodworkers achieve their goals. Now it's time to go to the garage and get some work done!

    Love that you have your kids helping. They're going to have great memories of this later on. My youngest is the only one that really wants to help, and I'm grateful to give her the opportunity to help. Now if I could get the teens to do the same....

  • @tseckwr3783
    @tseckwr3783 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Bringing kids into your work projects has a lot of benefits to you (humor and perspective and a little bit of love). For them, if they are old enough, brings memories (in later years) and skill learning. "Remember when we helped dad build those cabinets."

    You said "It's hard to believe I've been in my new Colorado shop for two years already!". And as I view this video in 2022 you are moving again. I hope you are taking those great cabinets with you. It would be a shame to have to build them again. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.

    I wish I could have seen this video a month ago! The trick of screwing through the hardware holes alone would have saved me so much hassle! I’ve saved this video for next time. Thanks!

    The idea for the wooden clamps attached to the verticals to stabilize during fit up is brilliant!

  • @nextlevel8822
    @nextlevel8822 6 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I always like to put a little extra effort into shop stuff, not just to make the place nice, but also because they're great projects to practice on cheaper materials and experiment with joinery and finishes that no one else will see but you.

    • @RiverValleyLandscaping
      @RiverValleyLandscaping 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I completely agree, I’ve gone totally opposite of what I typically make when it comes to shop stuff, im used to built-ins, inset doors, frameless cabinets... but for shop stuff I’ve been going face frame cabinets with double raised panel doors etc. just to get a little more used to the process and measurement changes. It’s a bit excessive for shop stands that will never see daylight outside of the workshop but for me it helps iron out the issues that could arise.

    Being a transplanted New Yorker 25 years ago, getting to see a quick glimpse of your NY GIANTS wall sign just warmed the cackles of my heart. And in a small way it legitimized my hours spent watching your videos, if not to myself at least to my wife who was born here and is a Broncos fan. Thank you Marc, I now feel complete!

    @judithisraelkatz7274 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I look at my shop cabinets as one: something to throw together as something I needed yesterday for a project; or two something to practice and finesse my skills on. I'm usually building small thing like small boxes, carving cane, kumiko, etc. Unless you build furniture for a living building cabinets for the shop is good practice keeps your senses sharp. All power to you

    @Warkive 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    As someone who places a high value on shop furniture aesthetic I really appreciated this video. I also liked the construction approach with the separate bases for simplified leveling, as well as the large sliders for quick, but hidden, access to larger tools/containers. Definitely earmarking some of these ideas. Thanks.

  • @felixreali7101

    I did Commercial Architectual Woodworking for over 25 years and IMO Accuride is the best drawer slides we used thousands of them with very few problems btw the little one is Adorable I always found it fun to have the kids around in the shop when my son was growing up the shop I worked at was a hundred thousand square feet big with a perfectly smooth epoxied floor he used to run his RC cars in there on weekends untill it was the adults turns in the winter we flew electric airplanes as well with the 20 foot ceilings and no wind it was fun

  • @phyrexiannewborn7104
    @phyrexiannewborn7104 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I agree with your closing sentiment. A lot of people in this DIYer/Woodworking/Maker space can be heard saying, "Oh, it's just shop furniture" as the inarguable reason why the quality doesn't matter, or even that it should necessarily be lower.
    I want nice things.

  • @nathanroper5988
    @nathanroper5988 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    As to your comment at the very end of the video on the effort involved for shop furniture. For us with plenty to learn shop furniture is a great place to practice as well. Make the first cabinets for the shop to figure out the "gotchas" then make them for the house where they will be seen more and would expect to be higher quality.

    Great job brother, inspiration for my new mitre saw station. I am getting rid of my dads old 1970s Craftsman 10 inch Radial Arm Saw that I have had for 20 years in my shop. That saw has cut a lot of wood but I am moving on to a new Bosch 12inch Glide Mitre Saw. I couldn't justify the Kapex but it did look nice when I demoed it at the Remodeling Show in Baltimore last week. The radial arm saw has a built in drawer system and top which I will be getting rid of and need to build a new table to fit in its place. Thanks for the great video, I love your channel.

  • @danasmith8950
    @danasmith8950 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I finished mine today and they turned out really well. I kept them basic (no drawer fronts and no doors) but entirely functional for what I need. And no Rockler products were harmed in the building of mine. :-) Only thing I might consider changing would be to use 1/2" for the drawers. 3/4 makes them more beefy (and heavy) than they probably need to be. Otherwise, I much appreciated the many tips I picked up from watching this video. Thanks!

    • @hgr4255
      @hgr4255 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I started out that way, but had to scrap that project. Too many rodents and creepy crawly things want to be assistant shop-smiths ... and NO they are not invited. I've redesigned for full closing doors and zero entry holes anywhere in the cabinets. Me hates vermin, who doesn't ?

  • @carndt124

    Thanks. I'm currently in the process of reorganizing the shop and building cabinets and such and I don't have forever to do it. I somehow still gotta eat and pay...you know...bills? I don't have the money for Baltic birch and the other fancy schmancy stuff, but I do have dumpster diving skills and a truck..and I don't mind making really sturdy table and bench tops from sliced up 2 by pine lumber laminated back together to have 2" thick tops and such.

    So being somewhat of a semi-novice woodworker, I watched all of your TH-cam videos years ago to learn techniques and processes. It has been a while since you uploaded regular videos, and I’m always happy to see your new videos, and learn new things. The kids are getting so big. I also miss seeing some of your wife’s comical cameos, like the outside table or kitchen items videos. Just in case you were looking for content suggestions 😉
    Remember to “stay mature” now! Lol love the videos!

    Thanks Marc. Some similar shop cabinets are on my short list of things to do and this video helped with my design. Like you I make my cabinets and other shop furniture out of material I’ll enjoy looking at while I’m out in my shop. While that may mean that it will take longer for me to be able to afford to buy the needed materials it makes me happier and shop time more enjoyable.
