English Workbench

[@RexKrueger]

This is a great video. Awesome build. Watched with the sound off and still enjoyed every second.

[@diazwoodworks]

Glad you enjoyed it

If anyone wants to actually BUILD an English workbench, follow Rex’s video. This might look nice but I followed Rex’s build, built an EXTREMELY solid bench, and actually use it. A believe me it get pounded to shirt and is still as solid as the day I built it 3 years ago. No reason to lacquer your bench if you’re going to be hammering on it and sawing on it and planing on it. I’d rather a practical bench then a museum piece

I really enjoyed this. I watched it with my daughter (who was too tired from work to get off the couch while I watched one of my "boring" woodworking videos). She even asked questions about the bench design. So thanks for giving my daughter and I moment to share.

Nice video, I really like the technique of using a board as a guide when chiseling. I will borrow that.

[@diazwoodworks]

Please do!

Just found your channel, and I must say, this was a beautiful build. Love the English style face vise, and the whole execution with hand tools was absolutely lovely. Keep it up sir, you're doing great!

[@diazwoodworks]

Thank you very much!

[@bbbcccddd1000]

This was very soothing to watch. Great work!

[@diazwoodworks]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Excellent workmanship - better than my (now aging) efforts. I can see Paul Sellers/Rex Krueger and maybe your own ideas meshed together in this build - I may be wrong but it's how it appears to me. I really envy the amount of room you have to work in (I'm doing it in half of my lounge, literally). Keep t up, man!

[@tube4waldek]

Thank you for sharing!

[@diazwoodworks]

My pleasure!

[@johnpayne6196]

Great effort put in... Nails, not timber pegs? The bench is racking due to being too light in weight? Chop out mortices before joined up? Thanks for posting.

[@diazwoodworks]

Thanks for the tips!

[@memilanuk]

Very nice! Had me a little nervous watching you smoothing the bench top over those nail heads - did you end up sinking them a little deeper? Also curious... any issues with the big box store 4x4s for the leg stock? I was leaning that direction at one point, but then someone said they would be more prone to splitting/twisting. Looks great!

[@ukguitaryogi2888]

hi I need to install one of these to my bench... my bench is 4.4 inches deep where the base plate will sit under the bench... the manual says 2 inches or 2.5 inches is optimal distance to from the bench rods to the bench top. please advise me . your rod placement looks minimum 3 inches, thanks

[@patbassman8251]

A lovely looking bench but you should of screwed the apron and top on it would of stopped the wobble.

[@jeffceriotti]

Your detailed work is amazing. Do you have plans for sale for this bench?? I was planning to make a similar bench but this one is far better. I would like to understand the center piece more. Thanks

[@g5flyr169]

Same. I have Mike Siemsen's video and plans together with Richard Maguire's video and plans for a Nicholson bench. Diazwood has made some additions and changes that I am going to incorporate into the two I just mentioned.

[@diazwoodworks]

Not yet

[@g5flyr169]

Great video. Is the lumber Douglas Fir from a big box store?

[@diazwoodworks]
