    *Bought this to use as reloading bench **MyBest.Tools** I put an extra 2x4 in the middle to hold my Lee powder measure, works well for my need and the price and is pretty stable*

    I have this bench and it is very solid. I suspect the wiggling at 5:01 is because it wasn't assembled completely by tightening all attachment bolts. I also have the Harbor Freight benches and although useful they are nothing like the Sjobergs at all.

    Even though I'm building my own workbench, this video helped a ton and answered a lot of my questions.
    This is my first ever "real" workbench build so you can imagine all the Qs going through my head ;-)
    Thanks Stumpy!

    Great review, Stumpy~! I saw this after finding a Black Friday deal on a Sjoberg Elite 2000 with cabinet & accessory kit on special from my local WoodCraft store. It was a bit of an investment, but like you mentioned in your video, I would rather spend my time building projects and not a bench. Sure, I could've saved some money on a homemade one, but this one may well be used by my grandkids (should those come along one day). I pick it up in a couple weeks and I cannot wait~!

    I am looking at buying this bench. I was a little taken back when I saw the bench wiggle pretty easily at 5:02. Can anyone comment?

    At 5:01 when demonstrating the end vise the bench wobbles! I am now pretty concerned about this bench.

      That was a lot! Good eye. I wonder if it's because it was a temporary Assembly? Maybe nothing was tighten. It's too bad the bastard didn't reply back.

    The best thing to build when you get into woodworking is a bench, with all the draws and features you need. That is how I started out, then I made several improvements over the years.

    Great review. So it sounds like you are impressed with the bench?

    Really good summary, thank you

    Looking at getting my first bench, the problem is at these prices I’m just inclined to build my own. It’s a beautiful piece but unless you know what you’re doing 2k isn’t cheap.

    Looks like a solid piece of kit!

    I bought this 10 years ago and its a really great workbench. The cabinets however aren't very good. They swelled up and/or warped in 6 months and the drawers and doors kept getting stuck. These were unstained and in an air-con environment so humidity wasn't a factor. Just be prepared to trim the sides to get the parts moving again

      Stumpy Stumpy you know you can get those at Harbor Freight cheaper

    You are right stumpy, time and skill factor come into play at times but this workbench is expensive to buy mate

    I love the new bench. But I was wondering why no leg vice and what was your reasoning to leave it out. I'm trying to decide if I want one on my bench.

    how true was the top of your sjobergs elite 2000? Did you have to plane it flat?

      Hi David, unfortunately we aren't sure how to answer this question as this video was not created by Rockler. Feel free to check out this channel at th-cam.com/users/StumpyNubsWorkshop

    ”pepe amazing plan” (Google it), is certainly a comprehensive woodworking book! It breaks everything down, utilizing words, drawings, real photos, and different diagrams. It`s unbelievably informative and helps me feel like I can help my brother while we create our furniture together.

    A very nice guide to important features of a quality workbench. But I notice that this video stops short of recommending Sjobergs benches. Was Stumpy less than impressed? Hmmm...inquiring minds would love to know!

      They suck thats why! For the same money if i were going to buy a pre built bench (which i wouldn't) I would get the Benchcrafted bench.
