Custom Built Workbench

[@billmeyer-h8x]

Awesome job Jack -

[@denvernow7294]

You really did leave all of the organic growth on the wood. I was waiting to see if you'd clean it off. You're a madman.

[@jackmeyermakes]

Yea they were a little gnarly, I wiped everything down with soapy water before paint. We’ll see how well it holds up

Nice job ! I'm in the process of rebuilding my deck , taking the good pieces from the old deck and re using them to build my work bench 4x8 on wheels so I can roll it outside and work in the sunshine in my yard ! Great ideas for recycling the good lengths of lumber in any demo/ renovation job ! Love how yours came out! Excellent color !

[@jackmeyermakes]

Thanks for watching and good luck on your build

[@JohnMeyer-h9v]

Looks great. Fits the space well. Good design. Including mistakes is good. Helps us all learn. Looking forward to the next.

[@jackmeyermakes]

Thanks! 👍

Very nice build! Great to see the bolts!

[@jackmeyermakes]

Thanks 👍, I like the look the carriage bolts give too

[@joanmeyer7478]

So impressive! Very nicely done.

Beautiful work! Can’t wait to see your next project!

[@jackmeyermakes]

More to come!

[@serge9846]

Amazing!

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Nothing like using old lumber and giving it new life! Well done.

[@jackmeyermakes]

Agreed I enjoy it. Thank you 👍

[@timstabletalk303]

Nice work I really like the doors looks great.

[@jackmeyermakes]

Thanks 👍

[@hbrealhousewife2270]

This is really good. Looks more like kitchen cabinetry than a work bench in a garage. You could add roll out drawers in the gap at the bottom to store oddments of wood and stop stuff rolling underneath.

[@jackmeyermakes]

That’s a great idea, more storage the better

[@peakbagger2014]

Dude! That was an awesome video! Watched everything without blinking!

[@jackmeyermakes]

Thank you glad you enjoyed it. I have a few more projects on the way

[@SophiaPhass-ve5wb]

[@seanallard3659]

Very nice. I hope you the best and get to use your bench often

[@jackmeyermakes]

Thanks Sean

[@denvernow7294]

I know I'm blowing up the comments but promise this is the last one... You did a damn amazing job! 🤘

[@jackmeyermakes]

Glad you enjoyed it! Next video is an outdoor table I’m trying to get posted by Sunday

[@adamsons2890]

Great job sir

[@jackmeyermakes]

Much appreciated 👍

[@diyblueprintdiva]

Thank you for sharing. I want to do this for my miter station with cabinetry but using 2xs instead of plywood. I’ve envisioned what I think is needed and you helped narrow down even more. ✅

[@jackmeyermakes]

Very nice that will look great

[@ewetuber186000]

Nicely done. Cabinet/bench looks nice. Great use of free and low cost materials.

[@jackmeyermakes]

Thanks Jim. I would much rather see this lumber get a second life as opposed to ending up in a landfill, even if it means a little more work

[@handyandy8671]

Nice job!

[@jackmeyermakes]

Appreciate it Handy Andy!

[@MASI_forging]

Well done. 😄😄

[@jackmeyermakes]

Thank you

[@lokomotivstadion2441]

Brutal, reliable workbench. I wonder how the shelves, drawers will be arranged inside? The ease of use of the workbench depends on this.

[@jackmeyermakes]

I am thinking a half shelf in each side cabinet and a metal tool box with drawers I can slide into the middle cabinet

[@lokomotivstadion2441]

@@jackmeyermakes Good idea. I hope it will be convenient. Worst case, you can always change it. Moreover, a good master's hands grow from the right place))))

[@truthserum5202]

It would have been a good idea to seal the bottom of your counter top as well.

[@jackmeyermakes]

I applied 1 coat of sealer to the bottom, though I’ve seen mixed recommendations online of whether it is necessary to seal the entire bottom to prevent warping. What’s your opinion?

[@denvernow7294]

Man, only if you had a work bench to do all that sawing and chiseling on... 😅

[@stevenbrowningsr1144]

Wondering why you didn't cover the bottom with a scrap toe kick..Seems like you will be chasing small stuff back out from under the bench all the time. Nice job of repurposing used lumber! Thanks.

[@jackmeyermakes]

Toe kick is a good idea, hadn’t thought of that

[@emersondamiao7291]

Sensacional parabéns 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Emerson Carneiro SBC SP 🇧🇷

[@jackmeyermakes]

Thank you 👍

[@andrewbieger5004]

Nice job repurposing the old materials. Bonus points for the Shop Smith Table Saw, which is likely decades older than you are! No school like old school.

[@jackmeyermakes]

That’s right, still runs great

[@Nacho_Garcia-eh5sz]

you culd add a pice of trim or smalls drawers for avoid the dust get down of the worckbench so you dont have to cleen =)

[@jackmeyermakes]

Good thinking 👍

If you clamp your glue-ups too tight it will squeeze out valuable glue and leave a dismal bond. Source: Trust me bro
