Building a big woodwork workbench

This is a big workbench I built that I had been thinking about for a few years that was designed for the way I like to work and the size of projects I like to build. The base was made from an old power pole and the top from oak butcher block.

[@danimal6777]

I read somewhere that you started your business and KZbin channel in your garage with Ryobi tools and a cheap camera. The production value and detail of every video on your channel now nearly rivals the quality of your woodwork. Both are master level. Just wanted to give you a shout out to say that you and your channel are a huge inspiration to me as I continue to build my own garage workshop, upgrade my tools, hone my craft, and inch closer to living my dream.

[@dustylumberco]

That is correct 😁👍 I appreciate this thank you very much. Congratulations on all your work and continued growth!

[@TzNuts]

It's much better when you can sell the furniture and make money off the videos

So where is your video?

[@tjeff51]

@@jeffhager7493 I do music videos. I leave woodworking to the professionals.

[@Supreme_Saltine]

Really did all that to put the crack down the legs on the outside. Tsk tsk tsk. Actually excellent work. All I did today was wake up, watch a video on the KZbin’s and go, “I’ll make one with 2x4s on a smaller scale and put in my shed.” But probably won’t.

That's not gonna fold up to store in my 6x8ft shed! Beautiful build regardless. Thanks for posting. Take care & stay safe.

Amazing and great to watch of course. Really wish you did long form, horizontal content with commentary and a bit of a how to, more in depth than these TikTok super cuts! Would love to see all of your amazing equipment and how you use them in more detail and with explanations but great work and final product all the same!

[@aam21spsl]

Another great build. Curious, did you learn your skill from someone (father, grandfather, schooling) or is it just that God gave you the incredible ability to do this work?

[@dustylumberco]

Thank you very much. I am self taught 👍👏

Goddamn 🤯, this table will outlast not only you but if you have children, this beast is going to outlast them too. It a monster of a table that's going to take some strength to move even with the fold down castors 😳🫣. When you had made the base i was thinking holyshit how thick is the top going to be 🤔. That said I have to say, congrats on the build and the quality of your work, it's extremely good and very easy to see that you definitely know what you're doing!!!. As alway's buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.

Looks great, I’m glad you didn’t cut the pegs flush. How much do you offset the holes for the pegs so the two pieces draw together? 1/16 or less? Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! Yes, it's 1/16

Have you considered installing a DRO to your radial saw? I would think it would be a benefit when making your joints.

SON MUY BUENAS LAS DEMOSTRACIONES DE CARPINTERÍA Y LA HABILIDAD PARA REALIZAR LOS TRABAJOS, PERO, EL OBJETIVO ES MOSTRAR LAS MAQUINARIAS Y HERRAMIENTAS MODERNAS, QUE UN CARPINTERO COMÚN Y CORRIENTE NO PUEDE TENER. GRACIAS

[@dustylumberco]

If you’ve followed me for awhile you would see I started with only a few Ryobi tools and a used $200 table saw in my garage and no real knowledge of joinery or furniture making other than what I learned in a high school shop class. I started the business in my garage and had to find ways to build and sell things and try to make a profit. The profit I finally did make I reinvested in better tools and just kept at it for the next 8 years. Now I do have a shop with lots of tools that I love and I love what I do but 8 years ago I had none of these tools and only the very beginning of an understanding of woodwork. So I think it can be relatable to anyone who has a dream and will work towards it.

[@mikescott1141]

Is that an old hydro pole? Always love watching your care to joinery

[@dustylumberco]

Yes it was. Thanks very much!!

[@Kablabub]
