AMAZING DEAL ON THE Makita HAND ROUTER Only $86 - ONLY 20 REMAIN!! goo.gl/5xYufk

[@r3nmgod]

12:00 Did you choose star pattern heads for a reason or just had them handy?

[@BoilerRoomRadio]

Do you know of Jimmy Diresta?

[@sheldonfrey1]

N.M. The torx head was developed as a replacement that would wouldn't fall off the bit allowing for better production applications. Today most cheap screws sold in stores aren't worth their salt. The torx screws you find in building supply stores are more expensive, but well worth the cost when building things to last. The other "standard" for industry is the Robertson bit most people know as the square bit. Stick with these two and most times you have good quality screws.

[@wranglerstar]

Yes I prefer them over phillips

[@Fj4LiFe23]

just in case you didn't mean to the link is to refurbished routers.(i personally prefer it for the price)

[@nicholaschang7035]

Sorry but my workshop is not heated, so I have the coolest workbench.

[@johnchow5642]

If you're interested these are some great woodworking plans you could use: HootWood.com

[@jackharmon4198]

[@Fiskekakemannen]

Just a little tip about glue cleanup. If you clean it off when it's still wet, it spreads out and is requires sanding before you can finish it (Unless you use paint). If you let it cure completely, it's a real pain to clean up. But if it is not too inconvenient, try waiting about 15-20 minutes after you have made the mess, until the glue has a rubbery skin on it, then scrape it off with a cheap chisel, or knife. It's the cleanest way to do it.

[@mercoid]

Bjørnar Haugen ... that's what I do too.

[@Steve_Just_Steve]

Bjørnar Yep. 100% right

[@joemcknel2515]

Or just wait 5 mins then use a wet towel.

[@softiss]

Ur son wil grow up to be a wary well thought kid if u can teatch him with the patience u make ur videos. this is such great work, and to see someone put the effort and craftsmanship in to the work u do makes it be so much worth looking at every time, and to appriciate. i dont think most people know the feeling of finish somthing with this amount of patience and detail done to it. hope it will last a generation or more

[@turtlwalker5641]

Watching you work takes me back to when (as a child) I would sit on my Papa's old stool out in his old work shop and watch him build and create. He always said anything worth doing was worth doing well. And by the way, I am a great grandmother with grandsons older than you. Blessings to you and yours.

[@macgyver1968]

There are a bunch of videos on you tube entitled "oddly satisfying videos". As a wood worker I find it oddly satisfying to see a wood joint fit nice and tight. Yeah...I'm odd. :)

[@renoguy25]

Then I guess I make two , and I'm quite sure Cody makes three , I find that , that is one of the big selling points with his work , and frankly it's probably what hooked me to his channel . I would clearly say that I wouldn't have any problem betting great deal of money on the fact that those perfect tight exact fits , bring Cody a great deal of pride .

[@WesleyAring]

Samurai Carpenter = Badass... I love that guy!

[@ttttdsdcv]

Samurai is the man!

[@joshosborn4832]

Wesley Aring m

[@Fiskekakemannen]

I didn't like his personality in the beginning, like Cody, I guess. But looking at the quality of the work he does, it's hard not to be impressed.

[@TokyoCraftsman]

I'm in the same boat, but one thing that drives me nuts is the name "Samurai Carpenter" this just does not make sense, it is difficult to explain, but in Japanese (I've lived here for almost 27 years) it is really, really strange to say "Samurai Daiku" I don't have a ready example on hand of how strange this is in English, but I know when I asked some Japanese shokunin (tradesmen) they sort of laugh and think it is strange too. I'll attempt it, but really it is strange, how about "Aristocratic Plumber" or "The entrepreneurial Bureaucrat", do you get the idea? I guess he was just going for the whole "Japanese like" effect, I get it, like Sushi shops in NA that sell gyoza, trust me that is strange LOL. In the end his work is very good, but I just wish he had not mixed the metaphors so badly LOL, really it is a small complaint. Cheers!

[@Peter-pv8xx]

StuInTokyo I think it's a send off of John Belushi's character on the original Saturday night live, he was the procurer of Samurai delicatessen.

[@Steve_Just_Steve]

I would have just clamped the speed square to board and used it as a guide for the router from the get go, to hell with the chisels and hand saw. but I'm lazy.

[@nknatewood8226]

+Steve just Steve: Beat me to it!!! (uh,oh - exclamation points...)

[@edwardholmes91]

Steve just Steve I was thinking the same too, each to their own though I guess :)

[@Steve_Just_Steve]

Yeah its kinda hard to say I woulda when I'm sittin watchin and he's workin doin. lol

[@scotthopper2828]

Then that's how you should do it. I think he explained himself perfect we'll in his demonstration. In the end, the bench looks like the plans.

[@Kennykoo65]

Took a 5 min job and turned into a 20 min job...for one dado. Well, entertaining.

[@garrickbrewer8907]

i remember my old wood shop teacher made me so afraid of hand routers by telling me how easy it is to destroy your work with it. If thats true, you seem to have a steady hand with them! Another great one cody, I apreciate all the hard work on this content.

[@InsideAlan]

Garrick Brewer personally I'd have clamped my square to the piece and used it as a guide. Free-handing when that option is available seems foolish to me.

[@ardvarkkkkk1]

I think your wood shop teacher just didn't know how to use a router.

[@johnsimone9384]

You started off making a SUPER SIMPLE bench I think you got a little carried away. Still waiting for a simple one.

[@garyjohn316]

This is a little over my head, I don't have the equipment. He is very good though!

[@turnersparadise8368]

Thing is you don't have to go into all the detail he is.

[@sheldonfrey1]

John Simone The SUPER SIMPLE bench is a quater sheet of plywood on top of set of sawhorses. Takes as long to make as it is useful.

[@JessterKing]

John Simone cody and a lot of his followers love wood working, and the more you go over the top, the better for them, but when you over engineer, it lasts a life time as cody says, if you really want a simple work bench, mathias wendel has one, no where near as fancy as this one though.

[@kennyH20]

This bench is made to last generations

[@kyle_noseworthy]

That doug fir sure is beautiful. I love that big heavy great. Gorgeous

[@darfjono]

oh, dang, THAT'S what you were going to do. i thought the two plank sections were gonna be on top of each other and i was so confused why you were making the table almost as tall as you!

[@mercoid]

darfjono .... yeah. it certainly did look that way, but that would have been totally absurd so I knew I must have been missing something or he just never made it clear until now.

[@alvindueck8227]

darfjono that's why people like us keep watching every episode of a series so we don't miss these details. it sure looked like the top was going to be that high for me as well. but now it's all making sense.

[@ringerson4x4]

Nice hand router, you could use your square as a fence to keep the router from getting to close to the saw kerf as extra insurance. I would hate to have a mistake with a power tool after all the hand work you have put into the braces and really the entire room, not just the bench. I'm really enjoying this series, stretch it out as long as you want.

[@DougMcHone]

I really wish this had been turned into a playlist or a collection of videos. Sure, I could go buy the plans. But watching you go from concept to a completed bench is... relaxing. You have a way of enjoying the process that keeps me coming back.

[@artconnolly9519]

I always 45 my wall bench legs as well it makes cleanup much easier and really opens up the space more

[@ArkansasPilgrim]

"I had other things on my mind." The story of my life. Another reason watching your videos is so affirming, as well as instructive.

[@projectqueen610]

I'm not sure that I could technically be called a fellow woodworker as I am female : ). I love so much about working with wood and I get so inspired by the creativity and ingenuity. I love the sound of the hammer hitting the chisel and the wood chipping away, the smell of the wood and the speed that some modern tools offer. I enjoyed your enthusiasm for your project. It all just brings back fond memories as a little girl sitting earnestly near my Dad just watching his every move waiting to hand over the hammer, the wood saw, the sand paper or our old hand crank drill. We were very poor. I didn't know that these were projects for hire. All I knew was that I loved every minute. Thank you for sharing your work.

[@bigal7454]

That will be a top notch bench when you get finished.

[@alvindueck8227]

Sure, you took a long time to get to this point. but you're here.and it's lookin really well.

[@SilentGloves]

I have to admit, I often enjoy the stuff you forget more than the stuff you remember. :D

[@jvh1756]

How about some wooden dowel plugs for those exposed lags? Just a thought.

[@scooter041031]

Samurai is ridiculous with his skills. I loved his little jewelry box he made his wife. I really like this bench set up being cantilevered off the wall.

[@TheDanArt]

Shop does look amazing! Please don't paint it :D. The natural wood color looks really warm!

[@KoalityofLife]

I love the Samurai Carpenter too Have been watching his videos almost as long as yours. I am enjoying watching this workbench come together. I love the fact that its not slammed into one video. I seem to absorb more of the information and detail that you put into the bench when I see it over time. Thank you for that. :)

[@majormassenspektrometer]

Workbench sturdier than the house. lol

[@gamecock2465]

I've got the same Ridgid router and I love that thing. Good choice.

[@craigtpat]

I was poking around the old KZbin yesterday & saw a workbench feature you may consider incorporating. To save your bench top while drilling through material. He had a 2" wide strip of 1/8" aluminum on the front edge. Secured with countersunk screws. This was sacrificial & to be replaced as needed. This may be an option to keep the top purty. It sticks out in my mind; Jimmy Diresta was visiting for a shop tour. He asked the gentleman "What was your start in becoming a maker?" He replied without missing a beat "Breaking things." great answer i thought. Nice work on the shop & thanks for your continued great content.

[@turnersparadise8368]

Cool design, going to be a solid bench.

[@jackkirkpatrick2849]

I am a long time carpenter as I've told you before, so these videos fill my soul with happiness. You do a great job. I wish I could have been there helping you and teaching you a few of my tricks I've learned along the way. I'm so glad I've found your channel. God bless you and your family.

[@CharlieWebster90501]

simply a masterpiece. you will enjoy it for the rest of your life!

[@shartne]

I been watching all these neat videos and you said its warmer in there now but didnt you remove the wood stove? what are you using for heat?

[@keithmoore7390]

if it's attached to the house he's probably getting some heat through the wall and with the new insulation it's probably holding at around 50-55 degrees, plus he looks like he's wearing some warm clothes and doesn't show the temp!! seal up a room good and it'll hold heat!!

[@suburbanhobbyist2752]

His wood shop is not attached to the house. It's attached to one of the barns. I thought he still had a wood burning stove in there?

[@forestlampcraft472]

Beautiful work shop )))

[@grantottaviano7445]

A new video to watch while waiting on line to ride space mountain at Disneyland?! I'm beside myself with joy.

[@adampatterson]

You make it sound like being cocky is a Canadian thing :) But I have had my eyes on that Ridged for a while now, Might be time to get one!

[@adampatterson]

robhimself79 thanks for the feedback. I like the adjustability on the ridged for sure!

[@DRusso-sy4vj]

[@maehay4065]

This is my second time around watching this series because I really need a nice place in my garage to put my stuff in better order and this French Cleat system looks nice !

[@lifetimesofjcm8582]

i don't understand the design of your wood working bench, why does it have such a big 'trench' in the middle of it??

[@wranglerstar]

Trench?

[@tfish0]

around time 3:40 a gap is seen in your bench with the vice, Michael Chavez says it's a tool well, first time I've ever seen one. thought it might have been for clamps as well.

[@turnersparadise8368]

If he is too tired to make it back to the house he has a place to sleep.

[@digbyodell2924]

Ahhhhhhhh, so it's not an expansion joint eh?

[@andy11894]

its a tool well so that when working on a big piece you can have your tools in it move the piece around and the tools will be under it rather than knocking them off the bench

[@mototour7355]

I hope you are going to waterlox that room up when it's finished.

[@ScottishNSRailFan]

Love the project, from your subscriber from Scotland and a base in LIC.

[@globalko]

Wow! That really is the coolest workbench EVER!

[@SamuelSvarc]

Been several days since this video, I hope everything is alright with you. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the bench and workshop build.

[@jaredfreeman3967]

I've been subscribed to the samurai for a few years now, he's funny and very knowledgeable. And yeah sometimes Canadians have a swagger haha 🇨🇦

[@LutherBuilds]

You could've clamped your speed square and used that as a guide for the router.

[@rileyverellen0429]

I'm that guy been working by hand my whole life and might say I look up to you because I never had a dad to teach me these things so I had to learn on my own and you assisted with that with your KZbin channel and I am very grateful for that thank you

[@christianadventure]

You talk about someone else being way more talented than you, but I think your work is pretty impressive!

[@ZaphodsPlanet]

You're right about the Samurai Carpenter, his work is unreal. Bench looks great Cody.

[@woodscrew5612]

What part is this in the workbench series?

[@leadpersuasion]

Happy Birthday, Jack! I hope it's a good one. Don't forget to enjoy just being a kid and don't be in a rush to become older. In time you will wish to be young again so enjoy the time being free of the worries of an adult. God bless!

[@Wil_Bloodworth]

I love this bench! I've been staring at screenshots I took from the video and envisioning my own changes/adaptations. Hopefully, my son and I will be able to document the creation process so I report back our version in the future. Thank you again for all the excellent information!

[@kevola5739]

I bought the Bosch Colt hand router to fit a piece of laminate and thought I would hardly use it again. But it seems to be coming out of the cabinet on a regular basis over the years. It has more than paid for itself. Blending the old ways with the new is really about keeping what works. There is more to life than speeding it up. Especially with woodworking that you enjoy.

[@dahlmasen3084]

If it was my bench i would double up the screws in the walls, that looks really heavy

[@newfieingenuity]

Oh my god, I'm an idiot. I was not seeing your vision at all. I was seeing you keep on resting that piece on top of your ledge and thinking "that looks a bit high to me". Now I get it. Going to be a beautiful work bench. If I put that much work and care into something I would be afraid to touch it. I admire your attention to detail.

[@clauskristensen2426]

I also watch the samurai carpenter.. funny thing is he admires frank howarth a lot for his wood working skills. But i think it might also be something about his video filming techniques that makes that guy really Popular.. Ya' all should check him out too..

[@chrisis9030]

+Claus Kristensen If you're into that combination, do check out Giaco Whatever. He's friggin' amazing.

[@user-bo5vr1ib6i]

Why did you remove the tool sorter video, you uploaded earlier today?

[@jmidesigns]

Thank you so much. I had the same idea of building a heavy duty work bench in my garage. seeing you complete it and your instructions are awesome. Thanks

[@rgrimm3173]

I personally like the hand chisels and knife wall and taking the extra time for a snug fit whether it's a "simple" project or a "complex" build....I'm definitely not lazy like some.....nicely done Mr. W

[@peerless-d6r600]

where did the new video go? it was in my notifications and when i clicked on it it was gone... sad day

[@anglingnvirginia1346]

Love the wood working videos! Glad that you are taking us on the journey!

[@alvar891]

The Samurai just has that kind of humor that seems cocky lol the guy is awesome!! Watching wranglerstar and the samurai alot. I like how wranglerstar goes thru his learning progress with the audience. Very open and honest. Wranglerstar is also doing a bigger variety of things at the homestead. Samurai is a master at woodworking already so a bit different focusing on that part. Both do chainsawmilling now thats awesome!

[@DarylRosenberg01]

watching your videos inspires me to do this sort of thing. I wouldn't even know how to get started but its obviously a passion of mine as I watch all of these with great interest. Thank you for your hard work and what I could only imagine might be some frustrating editing.

[@blubberbucket5989]

i use a big wire spool for a bench now

[@kylethedalek]

no name dog that's pretty cool and nice Pontiac my favourite car.

[@blubberbucket5989]

kylethedalek thank you

[@ManSlave4Hire]

keep up the great content Mr. Wranglerstar. I've literally watched all your content and even managed to get my 9 yr old son watching you guys. rare to see such great morals in families now days and you have an amazing way to show all of your families great qualities in your videos. don't let the haters get ya down. you wouldn't have such a huge following if those trolls meant anything more than a piece of dirt. amongst all the content on YT it's refreshing having someone who doesn't think it's only good content if they swear or try and act cool and become someone else just to get more likes. I'm far from a saint and you somehow show me little life lessons (sometimes Big) every episode. keep the content coming. :)

[@wranglerstar]

Thank you Gary,

[@grodad7034]

those hand routers are sooo versatile! Try using your framing square as a guide and eliminate the need for sawing completely. leaves a nice, precise finish too. LOOKING GOOD Cody

[@JosephVE3GKT]

Wouldn't many of these cuts be much easier with a bandsaw?

[@garrickbrewer8907]

I don't beleive he has one set up for wood working.

[@AdamsWorldOfEverything]

why did you just remove your newest video? i was almost done watching it!?!

[@chrisingle8388]

So far a pretty cool bench looking forward to more videos

[@cnt_drive_1670]

Makes MUCH more since now! I really really like the design, strong and beautiful.

[@keithmoore7390]

you know Cody, since the snow started out there, they has been something just a little off in you videos, and it just occurred to me what it is, I don't know if you ever noticed it but I just figured it out, it's the snow on the fence post, it amazes me how even it seems to be, not much difference, it always looks like someone has gone out and sculpted it to be exactly alike? the wonders of nature I guess!!!

[@wranglerstar]

This is interesting, It all comes down to slope dynamics and surface tension I guess,

[@keithmoore7390]

Wranglerstar still all the same, you'd think you'd see some difference along the row? like I said one of natures little wonders! just something I noticed and thought you might have found interesting for some reason I tend to notice the little things like that, most find it weird but thought provoking musings. I guess we've all got our little quirks!

[@Justin72957]

I happened to be at the computer when the email came announcing the new video so clicked it. It said No Views but it had 4 likes and I had to chuckle. I'm thinkin' that Mrs. W, Jack, Lucy & Ginger did the likes (can't recall the cat's name but they never like anything anyway). :o)

[@kuva07]

okay... your design finally makes sense now that it's together. Up to this point I had zero idea what you were talking about

[@RileyKnifeandTool]

Starting to look like a workbench! Can't wait to see the top go on. Nice work.

[@cleanerlakes]

Looking good. It may have already been mentioned but if you clamp a guide for the edge of that dado router pass, then you know exactly where the edge is and won't go over it. Bench is coming together!

[@dannersmyers]

Cody don't sell yourself short you and the samurai are cut from the same cloth. You're a true craftsman keep the woodworking videos coming, I really enjoy them!

[@Riprock296]

man that came out great... the whole workshop is looking amazing

[@adambrown5726]

If you get a silicone brush you can spread out the glue and after it dries on the brush at picks off very easily. I am excited about your bench design!

[@keeskees8839]

Looking fantastic. Love it. To me this serie can last another 10 episodes! A guy being that enthousiastic about what he makes can go on forever to me!!

[@enduser6957]

I'm always having to go a size bigger on the clamps to get around my skirts. I like the hand router, but would most likely booger things up. I can tell you've been watching Mr. Seller's by the way you applied the glue and used knife cuts. So glad he decided to share his mastery on YT.

[@dinamboyz]

I don't often comment on your videos, but I think this video needs special acknowledgement. I think your skills have come on in leaps and bounds. This bench is not just put together perfectly, the design has been well thought out. I just want to say it's excellent and I can't wait to see you use it in your future videos. So once again keep up the good work. On a side note if you are not already a Freemason I think you should look into it as I think it would appeal to your personality and the way you think.

[@turnersparadise8368]

Every time I get the urge to start producing my own KZbin videos I just go to the latest Wranglerstar video and start reading through the comments. You are a better man than me, Cody...

[@JasonBrown-jx3xs]

You are doing a fantastic job. Nice to see your taking your time to do everything right and paying attention to detail.

[@taylorcompton7688]

Wranglerstar is like the Bob Ross for Craftsmen. We just need to make a happy little wood bench or cut down a happy little tree.

[@earlye]

Clamping at 10:56 will cause the two boards to have a curved stress introduced, because of the lack of continuous support. It could be useful to do that upside-down so the bench would have a crown, but I suspect this will result in some mild cupping.

[@norcalprepper8302]

I learned the "Knife wall" technique from you many videos ago and it works great! thanks so much for your channel and interesting content

[@bingnowtv]

Coolest Workbench EVER!! I agree and thanks for the videos of it Cody. God Bless.

[@birdsadventuresinwoodandmusic]

If I'm not mistaken, Diablo is made by Freud. And your Stanley razor knife, I saw Paul Sellers using one like it on one of his vids and searched it out and ordered it. Who knew. I use that thing all the time. It is a great tool. I got into relief carving and use it for my relief cuts. Can't tell you how good it works. You can get great detail with it. Just some observations there. But I've always enjoyed watching you work, especially when you were doing the tree harvesting to make your own lumber and timber framing. Good stuff.

[@fralin1966]

wonderful video , I am a fairly new subscriber however I want to personally thank you for taking time out of your day to make mine better .

[@johnhamilton1098]

The bench looks terrific....I think your design is excellent, and it's beautiful.

[@tim_bbq1008]

You might end up putting some legs down to the floor to act as deflection control members. With all the support coming from the wall the bench may bounce a little when you apply downward forces. (That's why leg vices go all the way to the floor.) It will depend upon the bench's final purpose. Anyway, the craftsmanship looks to be great quality...keep up the good work.

[@russwertenberg1965]

You can actually use the DeWalt compound mitre saw to do the side cuts for the dado (actually I have used it to create the whole dado if it is not too wide). There is a small lever on the right side that flips down and then you use the screw and nut to adjust the depth of the cut. Repeatable, accurate, and a fast.

[@budbrady3289]

Nice bench...dados+ extra thickness but screws in shear attaching the knee braces to the bottom of the bench support probably could have been a mortise.

[@connor9589]

Hi there. when i am not at school id EDC a leatherman wave but im also thinking of getting just a knife. so what knife do you suggest i should EDC? btw i do not like serrated blades.

[@turnersparadise8368]

Maybe you could give a basic idea of what you are looking for and a price range for starters? I got my son a Volcan Coronado for Christmas recommended by a Nutnfancy video for $18 and I am so impressed by that knife! It gets attention everywhere he goes and it is a sharp blade of AUS8 steel. I want to by one for myself but they are sold out now. I EDC Opinel folders, I like the no7-no9 sizes. Again, these knives are like $15 each and have very good blades, but are anything but tactical. They just suite me and my needs. Can't much go wrong with Spyderco. Wranglerstar likes his Benchmade 940 but that is getting up in price for me. Seriously, this is an impossible question to answer, knives are just so personal.

[@GOTTshua]

( I would have put the under-workbench shelf on BEFORE hanging those three supports, and cut it to wrap-around from the wall-side to make it all one-piece. ) Looking forward to seeing your finished product. Tis so good to have a workspace with all one's tools neatly organized and accessible. The proper tools make jobs so much easier.

[@uClash]

Nice :) We homeschool our kids, so I had built a 6 ft long desk for them to use similarly to this, although yours is much more heavy duty ;)

[@TheCultOfKaos]

Small tip on the router, clamp a carpenter's square or a straight edge on each side as a guide and you'll be able to use the router right up to the line.

[@renoguy25]

Good one Cody. Getting back to the basics 👍

[@thething4763]

You do a very good job with your audio editing. Much appreciated not having the power tool blowout of the ear drums. :)

[@portugeeprepper6821]

Look at you Paul Sellers Jr using his planer shavings to wipe your glue squeeze out. Lol

[@renapaige14]

What would be the maximum span between table top supports that you would recommend? Thinking about building a bench like this and I'm trying to figure out the design.

[@stanley.watson6406]

Can't wait to see the finished work space, looking really good.

[@nicolajhejl2947]

What happend to your latest video the most amazing tool organizer? I got a notification, but the video is gone😀
