[@keving8682]

I was recently recommended your channel and love your style - thanks for making these videos - I love your shooting boards, especially the mitred one. As a Canadian it is neat to see how many similar tools we have and nice to see you Veritas planes! One Canadian company that I am still proud of!

[@AMTunLimited]

I remember the last iteration of this little guy! Im also moving to a place that might actually have room for a little work bench, so this is good timing

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks!

[@vanislescotty]

That was awesome as usual. You probably now own the largest collection of bench on a bench.

[@fennsk]

I'm intrigued by the idea of this worktop with a system to sturdily & quickly (un)attach it to low Japanese sawhorses. Could be an ultra-portable low-to-the ground solution covering many working tasks.

[@Jjjcs]

@@fennskexactly on what I’m plan on doing… a small workbench with a pair of sturdy sawhorses. I don’t have the proper closed space for a big workbench but that will do for work in my garden.

[@nikburton9264]

Great to see you again Adrian! I made your first low workbench a couple years ago, but this one is capturing my interest... I may have to make this one, too! I really like the shooting plane you have incorporated into it! You should post more

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks Nik!

[@geocojoc2014]

Indeed! Welcome back Adrian! I was miss the inspiration I got from you. So much attention to details … you make everything to seem easy 😊. Thank you!

[@the_attic_woodworker]

Another gem, your taste in woodworking and video making is impeccable

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you!

[@brownboy6844]

brilliant with the shooting board ..

[@colinmckay5228]

the shooting board idea is brilliant! i love that handy integration into this workbench!

[@contestwill1556]

thanks for sharing, have long been a fan of this general design.. i bought the plans years ago, now that my daughter is getting a little older maybe ill finally make the time to build it

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks!

[@VinceEspositoJr]

Very nice...and a pleasant watch. Thanks.

[@AdrianPreda]

Many thanks!

[@SivertBerge]

Brilliant workbench and video, I especially liked the shooting board feature!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks!

[@Lancswoodcraft]

Saw this earlier it has been reuploaded by a user called wooden items. I was about to settle down to watch. Returned here to watch the genuine one. Awesome work

[@glittalogik]

So glad you're back and posting again, love the whole vibe of your videos 🥰 It may seem like a small thing to you but I honestly appreciate your best-tool-for-the-job philosophy. There are infinite paths to mastery - my favourite woodworkers span the full spectrum from handtool-only puritanism to $$$$ Festool-everything gadgethead - but your approach really speaks to me 🙂

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you very much, appreciate it!

[@makenchips]

So well done I do like this little workbench

[@laurielyon7740]

Pleasurable in every way……right down to the soundtrack.

Very nice piece of art. And also very practical and portable. A mini work bench up to the next level 👍

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you very much!

[@edm00se]

Excellent. I may have to try one of these out.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks!

[@mandyleeson1]

A great treat to see you pop up in my playlist with this brilliant mini bench. 🙏🏻

[@AdrianPreda]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Gauge1LiveSteam]

Beautiful work. That would look stunning in quarter sawn white oak

[@MihaiMugurStanciu]

Perfect !

[@AdrianPreda]

Mersi!

[@johnmitchelljr]

Very well done, had to downsize and sell all my power tools so my little work bench is not as nice as yours but it does its job and is working. Appreciate your power tools while you have them. Thanks for the video.

[@durrwooddude]

Another great mini workbench!

[@emm_arr]

Nice. Another cool video. I keep thinking I'd quite like one for use on a kitchen counter but never seem to have the time to make one.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! Basically this is how I started woodworking, with the first version of this low workbench on my dining table😀

[@emm_arr]

@@AdrianPreda Er, I think that means I was one of your really early subscribers then! Time just flies.

[@AdrianPreda]

Should be 7 years ago, a lot! Thanks!

Felicitări Adrian! De fiecare dată mă uit cu plăcere. Pe lângă îndemânarea impecabilă și editarea filmului nu este mai prejos. Totul se desfășoară cu calm, ca la un adevărat meșter japonez.

Love all of your videos , love the sound of hand tool , great work !! waiting to see you make a Kumiko Well ,,this one look smaller than you previous mini work bench but same functions

[@amaranthwood]

This is great work. I want to try making it someday.

[@valterleao2798]

Parabéns pelo belíssimo trabalho, adorei, é muito eficiente e ajuda no dia dia, essa ao meu ver foi a melhor forma de fazer esse tipo de ferramenta, também ficando móvel facilita seu uso. Abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷

[@slanwar]

When using as a shooting board will the plane start cutting the bench? I didn't see the little lip we normally have on our shooting boards, but the idea is fantastic.

[@AdrianPreda]

You can keep the plane a bit away from the bench top but it will eventually bite, although that's not quite a shooting board but a planing board, to make an edge flat straight, not square to a perpendicular edge like a proper shooting board

[@josiahross3734]

I am about to start a similar project but one thing I missed in this form was a more purposeful stabilizer design, in other words not just bar clamps to the legs. I'd like something more elegant and "permanent." It's gorgeous though.

[@fernandoneves2792]

Magnífico. Parabéns.

[@leeteng1]

Great

[@imakedookie]

[@yutubl]

Hej! Did you made a mobile tool-suite-case sized workbench with holes for screw clamp and vice (double screw-thread)? I want to use it for repair cafe and other uses, so I want to put it on one side of my tool case (42 x 31 cm^2, and 38 x 26 cm^2 ). I've had a 2nd hand mobile workbench (Black & Decker), but cant find it anywhere, so I think about making my personal bench, looking for inspiration of skilled wood workers like you.

[@javierg7905]

Any treatment on the wood? Tung oil, Danish oil...? Thanks!

[@AdrianPreda]

Danish oil is what I use

[@rhysmatheson9216]

This is a great video mate. I mean this with no disrespect in any way, I was just curious as to how sturdy that slim piece of wood is about the vice and wondering if there was a reason for not recessing it into the bench top? It look great either way. I was just curious and I look forward to seeing your other projects

[@kevinmcgrane4279]

No videos in a year. Sad to see you disappear. Your videos were as well crafted as your woodworking.

[@DRJMF1]

Please make a low sit Roman workbench.

[@glennirwin4710]

[@robertsarosi21]

Lucrare foarte precis si frumos. ;) E bun ca mai avem experti in aceasta domenie. O intrebare: De unde esti?

[@AdrianPreda]

Multumesc frumos! Braila

[@bitfreakazoid]

8:30 is it jut an optical illusion or is that not a regular screw? What is is?

[@AdrianPreda]

It is an insert nut

[@tgtg1968]

Perfeito!

[@Ateliermartinon]

beautiful as always. have you considered using the veritas mini-face vise instead of the irwin?

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! No, I think is too mini and delicate for the job, maybe for another project. This 150mm/6” Irwin is a real workhorse, I ve used mine to extreme many times and still survives

[@ajbaker136]

Anyone know what that red table saw blade was? It looked like it was wider than your standard 1/8 in kerf. I've been wondering if they made something like this. Don't think I need a full dado stack (and my saw probably couldn't handle it) but something like this might be very useful

[@AdrianPreda]

It’s a CMT grooving blade, 3mm flat teeth 180mm diameter.

[@ajbaker136]

@@AdrianPreda thank you Sir, much appreciated. Fantastic build as well! I need something like this. Thanks again!

[@mikdin1]

Is that the LV LA jack plane?

[@AdrianPreda]

Smoothing plane

[@nunya931]

I am curious. It seems like every time you make a new low workbench that it grows smaller with every iteration. Or am I mistaken? If it is true, then why? Have you found some Goldilocks "just right" size? I suppose it could perhaps just be the type of work you do. The main reason I ask is that I gravitate to more furniture oriented interests, like bed frames, tables, chairs, etc. But my kids now show interest in woodworking too and smaller projects like shelves, boxes, pencil holders, etc seem to be on the horizon. I mainly work off of Japanese style sawhorses with a minimum up power tools for rough dimensioning.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! No, not quite :) Maybe this one is 1cm less wider than the previous one and this is because of the stock lumber I had. True that I started with a very wide one but I realized it doesn't really need to be this way, in practice the top is sufficient to match the width of the vise I concluded

[@nunya931]

@@AdrianPreda Thank you very much for responding. After much mental gymnastics I have concluded I will continue to use my Japanese style sawhorses. I have this 40mm thick slatted top that is roughly .5m x 1.8m long. I have used this now for several years for all manner of power and hand tool projects. The slats work quite well for clamping and workholding. I think I am going to split it into two roughly 325mm wide tops that can be put together, slid apart for wider projects, or even stacked upon one another. But then build two atedai/low workbenches, one larger at about 1m + long and a little wider, and then one smaller, similar in size to yours with more elaborate workholding options. Thank you again for the clarification...and inspiration!

[@DerlyPintosTapia]

Bien ahí! .. los Bancos grandes son inútiles sino haces muebles o trabajos grandes! ..

[@FirozkohJ]

Does it feel front heavy at all?

[@AdrianPreda]

No, when I made the first one many years ago I thought the same, wanted to add some counterweight on the other side, like melting some lead :) but is really not necessary, the top itself is heavy enough and all the bench is very low.

[@rogerboucher1913]

What is that mini plane you used to chamfer the edges?

[@AdrianPreda]

Veritas Miniature planes

[@jayedannholmes6367]

Why don't you put the demotions for that in your video?

Iroko for the top and Oak for feet, vise, planing rail

Meh, If you don't NEED it or don't USE it all your doing is wasting MORE NATURAL RESOURCES for a KZbin Video !

[@jazzy_cats]

Is this satire?

[@BlitzKriegFM]

You do know that trees grow back, right?

[@JohnDoe-qg6hm]

:) Aye Problem is were cutting them down faster than we can grow them and the ones we ARE growing are engineered to grow fast so are soft AF. Consequently when harvested they are chipped and mixed with recycled wood to form your Composite Sheets. 1 small workbench wont matter but 100,000 americans copying the workbench for something to do might ! When its all added together ! Just consider the energy requirements of the server farms and the bit coin mining ! :D LMAO Hope your home is higher than 3' above sea level ! OFC we wont be here as it will take 50-100 years to get to that point i reckon. West antarctic ice sheet is End Of Life at this point. Many other Glaciers are speeding up as they melt. Spend a week or two reading up and watching videos. Check out AL Gors video from ? 10 years ago now ? Yea Its gonna get real and fairly soon now i think for most people to be affected by climate change@@BlitzKriegFM

[@jakemeyer8188]

Maybe HE doesn't need one or use it, but that's an even nicer reason to show folks like ME who DO need it how to build it. I'd also venture to guess that the things he builds that he doesn't need gets donated or sold to someone who does...
