    After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans th-cam.com/users/postUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!

    p.s. After reading many emotional comments under the previous video where I featured my bear-proof door broken by an intruder I wanted to add that I don't hold it against him I have my own version of why the intruder couldn't refrain from breaking the unlocked cabin's door with a crowbar I think the intruder attained a tender emotional enlightenment while contemplating the touching defenselessness of a handmade structure he just couldn't help his curious urge of an explorer and in order to enhance this gamut of feelings he prodded the unlocked door with the crowbar I remember in preschool age I experienced the same feeling while disassembling my dad's typewriter thus I cannot judge the stranger for retaining his childlike spontaneity.

      Hello back, friend! This is easily my favorite project of yours thus far. What I like is it's incredibly useful, yet easy to make for any reasonably intelligent human being. However, I would like to see something similar without the use of power tools that many people won't have - and I definitely wouldn't have in the bush. Still - I love it when you show off your tools! :-D Thanks again for all your hard work.

    Your story about the door is recognisable. Growing up in the country we never locked the doors. It was an unnecessary nuisance to lock and unlock and remember if it was locked or not locked. One day we came home from a family day out and my brother came up from his room downstairs and said there is a man sleeping on my bed. My parents signaled us to go the terrace outside on the hill the house was built into. As it turned out the man was an outpatient from a mental hospital about 30 kilometers away and thought our house in the woods was the hospital. There is always a reason. Thank you for sharing your attitude of compassion and generosity.

    I think your English is absolutely fine "Topsy-turvy" works (only thing I noticed was you called your square a triangle, but no one would criticise that).......really enjoyed seeing you use one of those tennon cutters, always liked the idea of the router jigs, but definitely see the advantage of the drill operated one when tools are limited. Upgrading the grub to a fish is just plain common sense, there are many things that survival experts promote on TV shows that are just plain stupid, "Bear Grills" habit of eating every raw grub or insect he comes across is moronic.

    You are truly a master craftsman and artist all rolled into one!
    Thank you for sharing your adventures with us my brother, I truly enjoy watching!

      Imagine how people were 5,000 years ago without God’s True Book. How would they have known how they were
      supposed to live? How would they have known how they were supposed to be in order to please their Creator? So
      God gave the law of Moses back then. This law was for the people to know how to be. They saw what God expected
      out of them. God had high expectations from the Israelites. Why shouldn't He? Should He drop His expectations for
      love and grace? If He drops His expectations to accommodate what man wants, then He compromised His
      perfection for man’s imperfection. Does a Perfect God compromise His perfection?
      So God has expectations once He tells His creation how He wants things. His love and grace gives His creation time
      to change. He is willing to help them change if they ask Him. Then His creation, while repenting or changing to do
      His will, see His Beauty. This is a relationship formed now with the Creator. If He is the Most Beautiful Being, which
      He is, how can His creation not want to obey Him? How can His creation not want to please Him? The reason why is
      because of foolishness. Man loves his own foolishness rather than God’s wisdom, Jn 3:19. Man loves his sin. If
      anyone loves himself, he will stay in sin. So man who stays in sin rejects his perfect Creator or Father, and
      exchanges it for his own foolishness.
      So now fast forward to today where we have God’s True Book. We officially know what God wants. God gave His
      creation a big help, the Word, to show us how He wants us to live. If we follow His perfect teachings, we all live
      with perfect peace, love, joy and unity. This is His perfect design for His children's lives. When we go against His
      perfect design for what we want, sin, we throw away that perfect plan. We throw away that perfect peace, love, joy
      and unity. Giving up these things is foolish. So sinning against God proves to be the worst plan for us!
      God wanted to help mankind. God wanted to save man from his foolishness. He wanted to help us the best way
      possible because He is Good. The best and only way to do it, as God saw fit, was to give mankind His Son. Why? The
      Son is the Word, Jn 1:1. The Word always obeys the Father's will. The Father's will is spoken through His Word.
      The Word proceeds forth from the Father's will and mind. So the Word that God speaks is the pure sequel to what
      was inside the Father's mind and heart. Jesus is that perfection manifest. He is the physical embodiment of God's
      will and thought. God's will and thought is expressed through His Word. Jesus, the human part, is the perfect,
      physical expression of God. Jesus, the human part that walked this earth, came to teach us the perfect will of God.
      How? He did this by example. This is why Jesus walked this earth perfectly without sinning.
      So Jesus taught us perfectly. He even was willing to die not only death, but the death He did not deserve since He
      never sinned against God the Father. He chose to give His life. That's why Jesus says no man forces Him to lay down
      His life, He chose to lay it down, Jn 10:18. God wanted to save mankind. Jesus wants what the Father wants. The
      Word always obeys the will. He shed even His perfect, pure blood for us. His blood is the fulfillment of perfect
      obedience to the Father. Why? Because the Son asked 3 times in the Garden, "Take my cup not by my will but by
      yours." The Father said the Son still had to shed His blood on the cross. The Son obeyed the Father's will over His
      own. So the blood was shed for that purpose. Nobody else had that kind of blood. Nobody else pleased the Father
      perfectly like the Son. So now instead of the law of Moses showing us the way to live rightly in God's eyes, we have
      the Son. This is the New Covenant. In Jesus and His blood, we now obey Him instead of the Mosaic law as part of
      this new agreement between man and God. So as man wants to live rightly to please His Creator, man now must
      turn to the Word of the Creator. So obeying the perfect teachings of Jesus brings us to how God wants us to live.
      The Son conquered the grave. The grave is the end of all who sin. The grave is the payment for sin. Satan founded
      the grave. How? Because Satan started death by being the first to sin against Almighty God. Jesus destroyed Satan's
      creation and fulfills the very first prophecy spoken of the Savior in Genesis 3:15. That's why Jesus came to
      "...destroy the works of the devil," 1 Jn 3:8. Satan came to ruin God's Creation with sin. Jesus came to ruin Satan's
      creation, death, with perfect obedience, which His blood shed proves. That's why in His blood, there is life. So the
      Gospel is God's reconciliation with man. How? Only through the Son. If you disobey the Son, you disobey the
      Father. Jesus says, “He who has seen me has seen the Father,” Jn 14:9. Repent and accept Jesus as Your Lord NOW!!!
      Then start to read the Gospels and obey His commands. Follow Jesus only, no other man, no religion. Only Jesus.

      God gave the law of Moses back then. This law was for the people to know how to be. They saw what God expected

      love and grace? If He drops His expectations to accommodate what man wants, then He compromised His
      perfection for man’s imperfection. Does a Perfect God compromise His perfection?
      So God has expectations once He tells His creation how He wants things. His love and grace gives His creation time
      to change. He is willing to help them change if they ask Him. Then His creation, while repenting or changing to do
      His will, see His Beauty. This is a relationship formed now with the Creator. If He is the Most Beautiful Being, which
      He is, how can His creation not want to obey Him? How can His creation not want to please Him? The reason why is
      because of foolishness. Man loves his own foolishness rather than God’s wisdom, Jn 3:19. Man loves his sin. If

      exchanges it for his own foolishness.
      So now fast forward to today where we have God’s True Book. We officially know what God wants. God gave His
      creation a big help, the Word, to show us how He wants us to live. If we follow His perfect teachings, we all live
      with perfect peace, love, joy and unity. This is His perfect design for His children's lives. When we go against His
      perfect design for what we want, sin, we throw away that perfect plan. We throw away that perfect peace, love, joy
      and unity. Giving up these things is foolish. So sinning against God proves to be the worst plan for us!
      God wanted to help mankind. God wanted to save man from his foolishness. He wanted to help us the best way
      possible because He is Good. The best and only way to do it, as God saw fit, was to give mankind His Son. Why? The

      this new agreement between man and God. So as man wants to live rightly to please His Creator, man now must
      turn to the Word of the Creator. So obeying the perfect teachings of Jesus brings us to how God wants us to live.
      The Son conquered the grave. The grave is the end of all who sin. The grave is the payment for sin. Satan founded
      the grave. How? Because Satan started death by being the first to sin against Almighty God. Jesus destroyed Satan's
      creation and fulfills the very first prophecy spoken of the Savior in Genesis 3:15. That's why Jesus came to
      "...destroy the works of the devil," 1 Jn 3:8. Satan came to ruin God's Creation with sin. Jesus came to ruin Satan's
      creation, death, with perfect obedience, which His blood shed proves. That's why in His blood, there is life. So the
      Gospel is God's reconciliation with man. How? Only through the Son. If you disobey the Son, you disobey the
      Father. Jesus says, “He who has seen me has seen the Father,” Jn 14:9. Repent and accept Jesus as Your Lord NOW!!!
      Then start to read the Gospels and obey His commands. Follow Jesus only, no other man, no religion. Only Jesus.

    We have always used "Topsy-Turvy" as a noun too. Which means utter confusion, as in could be up or could be down. Like, once our badly weighted canoe went into the rapids we were Topsy-Turvy. You know, like out of control. The reason why I'm chiming in is Nothing you do or build seems seems to be out control. Or ill thought out. You could call it the incredible reversible work bench for purists. You sir inspire me to see my projects through to the end! Also I think some one should write a book about you. You are what I picture when I think of humans in their purist form. On a planet in space, deep in a thick forest, lives a man with piercing blue eyes. He lives in a perfect symbiotic relationship with his environment. He lives in a house built of trees. He is amazingly creative and driven by his work to create incredibly useful objects from the materials around him. Something to that effect. But bro, keep it up. Your work is amazing.

      Topsy-turvy does not have to be pejorative, though. Dolls are often made as "topsy-turvys" when one doll has two aspects, such as Cinderella in rags vs. Cinderella in her ball gown, and each half is hidden beneath the skirt of the other half of the doll. This workbench has multiple aspects too, and I'm sure no disprespect is implied with the name which directly explains how it is turned over many different ways to be used.
