I like your taste in pop culture

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Good, now go figure out how to dry those slabs, I don't have time for another day of milling and gluing.

[@kevinmorin7965]

Matt, Andrew, what about using your 'thin slabs' cut with Andrew's drawer blade- like the table you and your vac kiln friend displayed... wrap the super veneer around a GluLam "core"- that leaves the bench with the grain and looks of the higher valued wood- with an uber-stable core of GluLam (finger jointed fir?) You've already shown door ideas, table ideas, and proven you can dry the thinner 'slabs'.

[@andyh9382]

Klein, Savage, and Cremona all in one video. 1000 times yes.

[@jeffreyj.7508]

Andy's Acknowledgements Also a Diresta Sharpie.

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Haha, yeah, I noticed that Sharpie right as I was finishing the edit!

[@shootthemoon6072]

I just watched Adam unveil his new bench; that thing is legendary!

[@krtwood]

What a great opportunity! Adam's glee playing the with the Twin Turbo will be something to see. I'm sure the handle accessory will be his favorite part ;)

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Haha, yes, maybe! Speaking of which, did you want the commercial version or are you good with your wood prototype?

[@krtwood]

@@AndrewKleinWW I've gotten used to it.

[@jeremyspecce]

5:25 "why does he have bags of sawdust hanging from the ceiling?" 🤣

[@AndrewKleinWW]

hey, my decoration choices are not to be questioned

[@edwardwilson990]

What else would you decorate with in a woodshop?

[@nynewonzyx]

pretty sure that is just to show how many bags he dumped while milling the lumber...

[@Solarneutrinostar]

That’s awesome Andrew. Still love your shop that I wish I had room for. You deserve the publicity. Hope it goes viral.

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Thanks Fred!

[@pctatc66]

Dude, you're rubbing elbows with stars now!

[@mohammednahyyanalhuda22]

Nope! Stars are rubbing elbows with him.

[@smiller813]

That’s awesome news Andy! I love Adam’s channel and he couldn’t have picked a better partner for his bench.

[@BobAmarant]

Can’t wait to see this build that’s one heck of lotta maple. Have you ever considered putting retractable wheels on the legs so you can easily move the bench when needed? Another option is to get one of those three wheel casters that are sold at Home Depot for moving furniture. Keep up the good work!

[@RobbieAndersonProAud]

You should sell those dogs with the walnut heads already on the threaded pipe and with the magnets. I'd buy a bunch for my bench build. Mostly because I'm lazy and that would save me from the time and work of having to make the 40 that I was planning on.

[@jasondollarhide1363]

Would you offer this plan for sale? The 60 in bench would be just what I ha e been looking for for my small shop.

[@garagemonkeysan]

Wow so cool. Maybe you can drop if off personally! A visit to his bunker would be a dream come true. Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Thanks!

[@mbmurphy777]

Awesome! Congrats again. You know it would be a great mags which product that I would buy tomorrow? Something that I could stick on the bottom of my bandsaw to get adequate dust collection. I’ve tried a few of the designs available online and I just don’t love any of them.

[@1pcfred]

Hitting the bigtime.

[@aeg001]

I saw the bench you made for Adam. it is a WORK OF ART.

[@hansangb]

Congrats. I loved Mythbusters as well. During the lunar module build, he worked with many metal works I watch on YT, (This Old Tony, for example). And now I get to see another build for Adam Savage. I'll keep an eye out for the magnets. I do *LOVE* your cork rubber though! Thanks for that.

[@ManCrafting]

Congrats Andrew. I knew you when. 🤣

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Haha, thanks!

[@vikingmaker5108]

Well, I guess I'm now waiting until Matt Cremona runs enough tests to build my bench. Drying logs is a quick thing to run A/B tests on, right?

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Oh yeah, super quick

[@Digital-Dan]

Congrats. The various super makers are meeting and joining into karasses, false or otherwise. Now to connect the woodworking group to the car-building group ...

[@Hatchmade]

That will be a very cool bench with the slab top

[@gregmislick1117]

Awesome! You're living the life Andy!

[@makethepart]

Great Video Andrew! I'm excited to see the bench in its new home :-)

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

That’s Amazing X 10!!

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Thanks James!

[@markgarrett2971]

Are these old dogs with new tricks?

[@braindeadbzh]

I'm not surprised, you are the best.

[@bbfoto7248]

@Andrew Klein Mark me down as one being interested in having you make the walnut/magnetic bench dogs available for sale. :)

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Right on, thank!

[@SandyMasquith]

Love the bench dogs! I absolutely will purchase kits if you sell them. So glad to hear you’re doing well. Always nice to see a good guy win. :). Now....time to go check out mag switch stuff ;)

[@giovannipetitti1588]

someday you too will have the millions of subscribers that A.Savage has.💯👍👏👏👏👏👏🏼

[@AndrewKleinWW]

I better live into my 11th decade to get there at this pace. But thats ok, I have a great audience and feel very lucky.

[@bobbigrant9158]

I've had the chance to use this table a couple of times now. It's fun to whip out in front of people:) I can see what people are talking about when they say the legs are delicate, but they're design to support a "mostly" vertical load, not be torqued from the side or pushed back into place. If you just let the table open or close on it's own and don't force anything, it works great kzbin.infoUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh Once it's set up, it's pretty solid. My only gripe would probably be related to the clamps provided. They're not the highest quality. They do the job, so no big deal, but they could be better. All in all, pretty cool gadget.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Wow! ... awesome stuff Andy! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@rfguy8499]

Too cool. Also, I am sure Adam will enjoy the Steampunk-ness of the visible gears in the vises as well.

[@AndrewKleinWW]

THanks, I hope so.

[@James.......]

Super neat

[@houtslager]

great news, hope that it goes well or all three of you, you, Matt and of course Adam, 3 of my YT heroes working on the same project more or less :)) Karl W ps; might if this crisis lock down doesn't go on for too long get an order in for a24" vice :/

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Thank you! And someday this crisis will be behind us, we'll get through it.

[@Nicoya]

Cool looking bench but why are the legs inset from the sides of the top? Flush legs are one of the major features that a lot of people look for in a woodworking bench.

[@ADVBear]

I follow you for years. My first post on Instagram was promoting you because I love your work. Now you come and tell me that you are going to work with my absolute hero (I'm a Savage guy) of all time? You? Adam? And also Cremona? I'm losing my mind here, man! How does it feel being one of the cool kids? 💚

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Thanks for following along and supporting me, means a lot, I'm glad what I'm doing is still interesting to you.

[@troydavis5210]

Just here to comment that you’re still getting views on this haha! Great friggin job Adam. Can’t imagine being so talented.

[@dshnapek]

Exciting. Looking forward to the build videos of the bench. I would definitely be interested in the dog hole hardware.

[@stephenchalmers7579]

I'm struggling to get onto your website to download plans and purchase two vices, is there a problem with your site?

[@MCsCreations]

Pretty interesting! Congrats, Andrew! 😃 Looking forward to it! Stay safe there! 🖖😊

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Thanks! 😃

[@SilvaSRT4]

So cool to see you doing this with Adam! When his audience sees your vice, get ready for getting SLAMMED with orders!

[@AndrewKleinWW]

excited but lightly nervous about all that. My son should be even more afraid as he will need to help me pack them!

[@kazoosc]

I laughed out loud at the appearance of Legos at 2:54

[@billfleming.flemingwoodcraft]

Did you hang your dust collector bags after they get filled or was that just a post processing edit?

[@robshamel3210]

Cool!

[@2adamast]

Probably needs a storage space under(second degree retrieval) and the extra weight for stability

[@AndrewKleinWW]

I'lll probably leave the storage to Adam. As for weight, I had originally planned on filling the 4x4 steel legs of my bench with Sand. That hads about 100 lbs of weight, and drops the center of gravity. My bench ended up so heavy that it doesn't need it at all, but with the smaller version I'm making for Adam it might be needed.

[@theds2003]

Congrats well deserved

[@MikePowersTSIG]

I really like those bench dogs.

[@EngineerMikeF]

You deserve the recognition, Andy.

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Thanks!

[@CuttingOutBack]

Awesome! Have fun with it! You guys are cut from the same cloth.

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Thanks, I think it will be fun.

[@BarryLawrensen]

Interested in the dogs

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Great, thanks for letting me know.

[@jessjulian9458]

This should be fun, tunes of fun. As always thanks for sharing your talents and thoughts. Hope everything is good with you and your family. Stay safe and healthy my friend.

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Thanks, yes, we are good, hope you are as well

[@nicholaskellam7767]

this is big time!!! congrats! btw, i would be interested in those bench dogs... im going to be building my bench at some point this summer im thinking... but you know how it is...

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Thanks, good to know about the bench dogs

[@panda69144ify]

👍👏

[@MrPatdeeee]

Just viewed this video Andrew (July 1st, 2021). It is great. Question? My workbench top is 8'L X 30"W X 3" thick (Hard Rock maple 45 yrs old but looks new). I only have 5" overhang under the top to anchor the screw blocks. I realize I will have to drill holes in the frame; for the rest of the screw length and that is OK. So should I purchase the 20" or 24" Twin Turbo Vise; since the price is very close? At first I jumped on the 24" but looking and studying it, it may be better if I purchase the 20" vise: because I might run into problems with the 24". What ye say kind Sir? Hope you will see this Andrew and tell me what you think. Thank you.

[@AndrewKleinWW]

With a 30” wide bench you could go with either the 20” or 24”, with the 24” vise it would require placing the dogs a bit close to the edge like I have on my bench. I don’t mind this but some folks like them in a bit more and if you think you fall into that group then I’d go with the 20”.

[@Harko-]

It’s always interesting to see how your designs evolve. The fact that this bench goos to Adam is extra cool!

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Thanks, I think so to, believe me!

[@reforzar]

This is super exciting. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@AndrewKleinWW]

I think so too!

[@granferthegeek4273]

Adam Savage that's awesome, oh and you too he he.

[@AndrewKleinWW]

I get it

[@emaildavidlehman]

I’ve know you were a genius for years. I’m thrilled that you are starting to get the reputation you deserve. God speed, brother.

[@chrissteere9494]

Is there a vacuum kiln in your area that you can get some time in?

[@AndrewKleinWW]

For the drying of the slabs? Cremona is taking care of that, and I think he has all the kiln access he needs

[@MatthewBuntyn]

A while back, Matt met someone local to him with a vacuum kiln. He may be working with that person.

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Could be

[@chrissteere9494]

The vacuum kiln is the only way to go. I was not thinking about where you are and the lack of access to hardwood trees in your area. My apologies... will be watching this series. Are you caught up with orders at this point? Thinking about a few vices for an upcoming build.

[@chrisjcichocki]

Congrats Andy! That is awesome and well-deserved! I would also love to buy your bench dogs - I love the design and function

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Thanks, and good to know on the bench dogs

[@stephenpahl7538]

I've taken 3 or 4 times to tell Adam and Tested that they should contact you after I emailing you, I'd really love to see you and Adam create a super work bench

[@Gspoons]

How much do they cost

[@jamesfrench8004]

Andrew even I am excited for you!

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Thanks!

[@dan__________________]

Wouldn't the big slabs of wood be for more prone to movement vs 8/4 pieces glued up with alternating grain?

[@AndrewKleinWW]

That is part of what Matt wants to figure out before offering them for sale. For what it is worth I'm hopeful that they will be stable enough.

[@dan__________________]

​@@AndrewKleinWW Maybe in a humidity controlled environment.

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Straight grain, quarter dawn slabs, will be stable enough even under variable humidity in my estimation. But we will see.

[@leehaelters6182]

For identical moisture content, I don’t see a difference between quarter sawn slabs and plain-sawn 8/4 stock turned on edge and laminated.

Makes we wish I continued with woodwork class in high school 🤣

[@kevinmorin7965]

Andrew K. what about using GluLams for the bench top sections? I'm not saying solid slabs from Matt wouldn't be more elegant.... but can't go to the building supply and buy very serviceable GluLams to do this too?

[@AndrewKleinWW]

you could do that, and I think it could be a good option for a fast, budget workbench. I'm looking for a nicer wood species for this one though.

[@jeremyspecce]

Kevin Morin I almost had a good source of those from a project that was only using the m short term but they made it to the dumpster (after a quick trip the sawzall) before I got my hands on them :(

[@AndrewKleinWW]

bummer

[@kevinmorin7965]

@@AndrewKleinWW, definitely understand the wood quality and bench's final aesthetic, just noting that Lam's would be available that were dimensionally stable, low effort and all sizes.
