Check out my new Workbench

Post by THOMRIDER »

Just finished my version of John White's New Fangled Workbench

I made a YouTube video of the build. Check it out if you get a chance.

That's a really nice bench! I'm still making do with a way-too-light-duty one that I built to make RC airplanes -- back when you had to worry about crashing them into tall dinosaurs.

Excellent job on the YouTube production, too. The production quality is well above average. Although it was almost magical, how the nice white pegboard suddenly covered the exposed wall studs.;) Mine seemed to take longer, somehow!

This is just plain all around fantastic. Thanks for the time and effort that went into this post. The video presentation was great. I wish I had done something like this when I put my shop together.

Tom, great video.
Do not put yourself down, there is lot of work involve when making something and filming it at the same time.
I appreciate the fact that you did this and shared with us.
It is the first time I see a bench like this and I find it quite interesting.
Is it very expansive to built material wise ?
