And that points out the necessity of first making a pair of sturdy, identical (at least in hight), out of twist saw horses, or trestles. Then you can avoid having to work on the kitchen table or the floor.

Paul. At 35, I’m only now getting into wood working and your videos are an absolute treat. After each sweat laden project I feel such a sense of accomplishment. I now know, the key to a long life, plane, sweat, admire, repeat.

Paul, I've been following you for a few years now, I've sharpened my chisels, made myself a scrub plane from a cheap $24 plane, made winding sticks, mortise guides and so on and so on ... And I just keep coming back. There is a beautifully elegant simplicity to your videos and to this project particularly. I love how you are building a bench without already having one, how you've designed it with the most basic of tools. I already have a workbench but I need a new one and this is definitely my next project after I finish my outdoor table based on your other table making video. Thank you so much for your time, effort and patience. You are an international treasure.

I wish I had seen this before made my first work bench. It’s ok, but the top I attempted to level with a belt sander because I didn’t have a plane worth a damn. Now I have ……8 planes, but 1 is a craftsman that I use as a scrub because of the backlash in the adjuster(3.5 rotations of slack) and one Stanley #5, one #6 both with replacement Hock blades now. What a difference. I’m keeping the old blades to make cambered irons but for fine work, those Hock irons(Yowsa!!) My next build I think I am going to use heavy hardwood for the frame, and MDF for the top.

Paul, your previous 11 part series building a bench outdoors with the plants and birds and sounds of the school children at recess in the background was a pure relaxing delight to watch. It's remarkable to me that you are doing this again. I think Im most proud of the fact that my few tools are in much better condition than they were before I started watching your vids. It means a great deal to me that my No.4 Stanley now works as it's supposed to and to hear you say it's such a good all around has kept me from buying other, more expensive planes. Thanks again.

+ Capt Termite If you like your old Stanley then my advice would be to stay with it. I made the mistake of getting an expensive plane with all the bells and whistles like cast steel body and such before i had any experiance in woodworking. Now that expensive thing is lying more or less forgotten in a drawer somewhere because it is just too heavy to be comfortable. On the other side i really like my No. 7 from the same manufacturer because i think the additional weight helps with the larger plane. So in the end it all comes down to personal preference and if you like a certain tool for a certain job then it is the right one for you.

Another workbench series, thank goodness. If there is any series of yours that I plan on *actually* following along with, it's this one. Every man needs a workbench, and I couldn't ask for a better one than one designed by you, Paul. I may not be making it today or anytime soon even, but I really do plan on following along with this series when I can afford to. Thank you for producing these videos, they have changed my life and will continue to do so for many years to come.

Anthony E. that's the whole point of this series is to inspire others and let them know they don't need a huge space or fancy tools in order to make nice things! if you actually paid attention to the video then you would see that Paul made the top in no more than a space the size of a small bedroom. you should watch the first series of Paul making a workbench and he did it, utilizing a convenient tree in his back yard... if you say you'll not make anything soon on account of space or super nice tools then what you're saying is that you'll never make anything......

I sadly built my workbench already. And you gave me the ability to do so with your first workbench-series and all the other videos and articles about tools and techniques. It's still a pleasure to follow the new series, but watching it, I would really like to build a new bench. It is such a satisfying work and so great to work on solid, sturdy bench (after many years working on an old, wobbly kitchen table). I can't thank you enough, Paul!

I love that little of checking for twist in the trestle. That reduces the amount of work taking a bench top out of twist. Since I’m making a new bench, I’m going to keep that tip in mind! :)

So glad to see a workbench video that shows you how to make a workbench using hand tools rather than power tools. Other woodworkers will show you how to make a workbench using a jointer, planer, band saw, table saw, drill press, and so on, with everything put together on top of an existing workbench (of course). Your approach is much more accessible to those of us who don't already have a workshop with lots of expensive power tools at the ready. You may buy reclaimed lumber of roughly the right dimensions as in your video or have the lumber yard / home center cut them down to size for you, but after that you can do all the work yourself by hand. Thank you for this excellent series!

Mr Sellers I'm happy you're reinforcing some things for new woodworkers here. I don't see any other woodworking channel where such emphasis is put on the bench... even though it's one of the first five tools you're going to need. I also love how you emphasize, as we Americans would say, "Git 'er done!" Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good, save your hard maple and walnut all-dovetail bench for some time in the far-off future, go get construction lumber and get it built!

Brilliant. I love that your videos go through an entire step. That's just lovely. So many channels cut up their instruction into what ever fits around a time frame to get more videos out of a project. You give us an entire section. That is so appreciated. I don't mind a longer video, at all, if it gives an entire section the way you do. Absolutely brilliant platform. It just makes my day all the better when I see there is a video available from you. I might not be able to get to it right away, but I definitely have something to look forward to when I have the time. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and experience with the rest of us who are still learning this craft.

Dont obsess about planning the surface is good advice. I'm still trying to square up my lumber for lamination and I've been at that stage for a few weeks. Lol I do work full time and have kids along with other obligations but I've for sure obsessed over it and it's a relief that I can call it good. I've been so caught up on not wanting to see the slightest gaps but I haven't even clamped anything yet

Great quality as usual! Not at all sure what people are dissatisfied with but to each their own. Also, every question in the comments so far has been extensively answered in Paul's blogs and other videos, so just search if you are confused. His advice comes from 50 years of doing it for a living and as a lifestyle. Just to second it, large planes are great but they are expensive and I personally don't own one larger than a 5 because there were other planes I needed instead. I actually bought another no. 4 and a wooden jack instead of a larger plane. I must say that wooden planes are extremely effective and handle differently than metal planes. Though they appear primitive, they are generally highly refined and require added sensitivity to set and operate. All planes are extremely sensitive though and in my opinion are instruments. Find out for yourself and don't stop experimenting.

The audio has improved greatly over the years. Well done!

After watching your original work bench build video I made one of my own based on your design and the bench Jay Bates made. So it has aprons but the legs are also mortis&tennon through the top with wedges. Unnecessary but whatever I didn't know what I was doing. It's a massive piece of hardware now. I love using pine to make things. I think the grain looks like flames especially when oiled. But the knots are murder on a hand plane. And it's so soft it's hard to make crisp edges. Thanks for the videos.

I’ve looked at cheap workbenches (Harbor Freight, Home Depot, Lowe’s) and I’ve looked at expensive ones (Sondenberg it?). I have an iffy general bench that I assembled back when the wife and I still had the kids at home. Now....64, retired Navy and retired federal law enforcement....I want a good, solid workbench from which I work on and make my duck decoys, carve, and do antique furniture restorations. Dammit....I’m going to do this one (with permission from the Domestic Commander who still works and controls the money!). Bravo-Zulu, Paul....for making this available....and doable without a bunch of power tools! Plus....Watching your videos is akin to “video meditation”....I watch while my Aussie “shop companion” sleeps next to me!

Not many people on here actually share their knowledge but instead just show off what they can do with their power tools in sped-up nonsense videos which usually end up being half a shoutout to their sponsor.

I've got nearly all the timber ready and waiting for a good temperature now here in Ireland to start the first steps. One thing I will probably try out during the lamination is to use a small furry paint roller to speed up the paint application. Not sure yet of the drawbacks, but I've assisted in making laminated doors and they used the roller to cover large areas quickly. Million thanks for sharing all your knowledge with us and also for making the cutting list and drawing easily accessible. Looking forward to the full workbench-series.

Paul: I'm about to make extension for my workbench and I plan to make it using this design. Funny story: Interesting thing, when I first built my workbench and mounted it to the cinder block wall for extra stability I made sure everything was square, level and plumb because I remember reading that if your workbench is off everything you build has a chane of being off. So I put the entire thing together and I had one leg left to install (back si supported by a sill on the block wall, left front l g is a 4X4 and I go to install the last leg and... It's and inch short. I measured and measure again and I could NOT for the life of me understand what I had done wrong. I finally figured out out. The bench was level and the back support was level on the wall but the FLOOR was pitched towards the garage door. Lol. I learned a lesson there. Don't measure somewhere and assume it's going to be the same 6 foot away in a house because it never is. Now I take multiple measurements. Start, middle and end minimum just to check.

Just finished the bench. Wanted to pass on a big thanks for these videos, they are awesome, especially the joinery tips and hints. I followed the instructions pretty closely (fully admit my joints are not as pristine as Mr. Sellers' - lol - but it's still a very solid and heavy bench). My only regret is maybe using a harder wood for the laminations, I am concerned construction pine may wear quickly - but I can always resurface the top with my plane in the future. I also put my winding sticks to good use. Thanks again - so happy I tackled this project, it was a ton a fun and the bench should serve me well.

Seeing you use hand tools makes me rather envious. Having 1 functioning arm/leg limits me in terms of all tools. So hand planes, table saws, hand saws, etc, are not an option. But I'm grateful to live in a time where technology will allow me to do many things I couldn't do otherwise. Now if only there were a 1 handed way to use a drill press. Or an affordable digital drill press. I'm in the US, so the Bosch, (which would be perfect for my disability) is not possible since they're not sold in, or designed to be used in, my country. (We don't use the metric, *and* I can't use a good drill press. 0 for 2 lol.) So thank you for this tool example... you use them beautifully, and I look forward to adding aspects of your bench to my bench I hope to have made by summer 2022. 😀 So thank you again!

Enjoying the video, thank you for sharing. Also enjoyed your earlier series where the bench was built in your garden/back yard. As this will be my first wood working project (ever); will most likely rehearse the laminates a few times, mention in that earlier project. Also, most likely keep the shavings, sure those will come in handy during glue-up.

Thanks for making this tutorials available. This is possibly what would make me start for real, because this is exactly my same situation: no bench, no power tools, little money and a love for hand tools. If I will succeed, I will send you the pictures 😅

I've built 2 of these now. The first one my son saw it and immediately wanted it so I made a Christmas present out of it. The second one I'm keeping. I'm now thinking of doing a third one from a much better grade of lumber.

@@Adanarth68 the first two were built from construction grade pine but I was really picky about selecting clear, defect free lumber. The third one will be from local lumber that I'll mill myself, probably Oak or Maple.

A modern remake of the original, comprehensive „build your own workbench“ video series, which encouraged me to build my own workbench from a large pile of wood with just a handful of hand tools. Applause for both series.

When I have a kid, I'm gonna make a playist of your videos for him/her/zer to watch 24/7 in the crib. To get out of the crib they'll have to build themselves out.

Volumes of knowledge..even beyond what you're saying. For instance...I now know I need to build new saw horses or "trestles" that are the same height as my inseam...so I can use my posterior as a clamp to hold the work piece while I plane LOL! Seriously...that is a brilliant technique I don't imagine people would consider! Thank you Paul!
