I used to purchase very similar items from a farm in Texas, they used to rivet through the brass end casing from Winchester shotgun cartridges (just because it looks cool) - sadly they stopped making them a couple years back. Do you have a shop (Etsy? EBay?) where I could purchase one like this from you?

I think that may be a Richmond Work Bench Matt. I found a similar one dumped in a skip, a Richmond DIY040. The frame looks identical, but the 040 model has 4 way jaws. Seems we both have excellent finds. 👍

Thanks for this video. It was a massive help for me. I have the same set up only I am struggling to work out how I set up the router once it’s under the table. Have you done a video on using the T14? I’m not sure whether I need to plunge the router down to its full level in order for the router bit to come through the table. If I don’t plunge around to down, I struggle to get the route a bit to pop through the table by using the adjustment screw.

You could make a bookshelf the size of your window space for your tools...

get a big dog and call it Badger

Nice video Matt - were you concerned about the base being level? Have been looking at ground screws for a new shed/workshop build, but these seem much more economical!

Hi Matt can't see your center punch in your 'Tools I use' do u have a link please. Thanks.

What about making shutters for the windows you need Old Time shutters

I'd probably use bolts right through. A plumbers wrench that thieves often carry will just pull the screws out with a twist. Also if they are permanent just bore the screws ain't nothing to get leverage if they'd even bother. I was told once that metal blinds are hated by thieves, make a racket and are very annoying. I rounded all my solar screws out 😅 sad we have to do this shiz

Now you have the bars in place that’s good. But if you still have too much light you could possibly adapt some shutters to clip on the bars so you can control the light, down side you would have to go outside to adjust them. Just a random thought.

As an afterthought...and for anyone building a workshop anew... some Georgian Wired glass or toughened safety glass is a thought....just to add to local criminals delemma.... Plus ...maybe a roller blind inside to prevent anyone peeking when you;re not there....or roller shutters outside. An Alarm?....OR EVERYTHING.....HA...Followed by a shotgun....and rabid dog...

Why not make shutters like they have on lots of houses in Europe.

Thanks again for a good workshop video... 😊

👍👍👍. Thank you Matt

Nice work Mat more please.

A dog is the best security investment you can make!

Ear defenders ???

Just an extra thought Matt is to add roller blinds now that you have removed the film. Cheers Geoff

Good idea!

I have a similar vice screwed to a block of wood so I can put it into my bench vice it works a treat

Hi Matt, security is a must, just make it hard for some one who tries to break in. I think window bars is a good thing, and a good demonstration on making them and fitting them. As always a great video take care

Those hex screws can actually be turned using the right size of slot screwdriver. I have done this on a few occasions when I was too lazy to go and find a bit and I had screwdrivers on me. However most burglars won't know this so still a good choice of screw. As you said it's only going to act as a deterrent to hopefully make a potential burglar change their mind. Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it.

Are you completely done with cooking and baking? Was otherwise great to see and good recipes

Good idea, Matt, but I’d still be worried that people can see in when you aren’t there. Maybe pull down blinds (or a pretty lace curtain!!).

Really nice work, Matt! 😊 And you're absolutely correct, there's no absolute security. Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Locks are only there to keep honest people out so my dad told me 🤨

Really fantastic idea. My workshop is in my basement its got a ton of windows, but the views are not good. They sell a frosting paint that has been wonderful, Now i get all the light I need and privacy that i want. I do worry about security and a few bars would make it feel great.

You could fill the screw heads with superglue, then just use superglue solvent to melt it if you ever want to remove them. Not something a thief is going to carry with them and it's hard enough to make it harder to knock something into the heads to unscrew them.

I would change those screws to one way security screws which can't be unscrewed.

Love security screws / bolts. I use Torx security bolts for exterior electric outlets

Make your place hard to break into than the next fella, he is the unlucky one then

Thanks Matt, as you rightly say all you can do is make it as inconvenient as possible, it's always a compromise ! You could always add some sort of blind or curtain inside for when the workshop is not in use but that won't of course hide what is on the shelves !

Nice video. 👍 Window shutters on the outside. Opening downwards when the shed is in use.... can't see in, can't get in....

The best security system has four legs, a waggy tail and big teeth. Very few thieves, whether opportunistic or full-time professional, like to risk being savaged by an Alsatian, meat-seeking missile!

Matt I could not help listening to when you was doing the pilot holes outside it sounded like it was on like a hammer action just sounded like it I was not watching as I was doing my lunch security is one of the most difficult thing to get right at the end of the day and people would always find ways to get in the one thing I done when was out a couple of security cameras up that maybe something you could do as you can have one on the house and one on the workshop

Good work

You could always drill the centre of the screw head out or round it off.....so long as your not going to be taking them off again!

Good idea but I think the Slotted Security Screws are a better bet as they cannot be unscrewed.👍

You could build a couple of sky lights in the roof for your workshop it would let in plenty of natural light and save on electricity.

window bars, wunderbar, funny how you held the cut off part from falling, why not saw at the other side of the vise (video problem) ?

Could you add some pull down blinds inside for privacy and light management for when it's too bright?

You're right. If they want to get in they will. All you can do is put them off as much as possible. A PIR light is a good idea, multiple locks that take time is another. A strip of wood with rusty nails sticking out of it on the top of a gate and an alarm are also good. Visible and invisible cameras can be bought cheap these days. The things we have to do 😮

A nice easy way to add some security Matt.

It’s nice to have goals! I’m thinking we might see you with another table saw! There are some you haven’t used yet so it is possible.

Those hinges! Roch and roll :)

Simple new years resolution: Whenever I feel like buying stuff I will go for a walk. End.

Hi Matt. Just a query on the roofing sheets. Are they the 7ft sheets?

I presume that new chest is not staying in the workshop?.. as the dust!
