descent workbench, mega, better than a centre island any day, and you can plain straight onto it, sweet plus all that space around the outside, like you designed it all in mind, epic

[@lemagreengreen]

Rusty steel bar to find high spots is clever!

[@lurchie]

I think this is the first thing I've ever seen Kris build that has square corners :)

[@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering]

Very functional and creatively made . What’s not to like , good job Kris 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@TheTubeTube2]

What a wonderful work table! And what a wonderful place to clear and hold bacchanalian Christmas dinners… cider barrel in the corner, tree 🌲 shimmering in the light of a blazing yule log 🪵 oh… I’m getting carried away, but what a pad!

[@TheInvisibleOne1026]

Wow you really treated yourself with that DeWalt saw!! Congrats, keep working hard boys!! Cheers.

[@purpleom9649]

Lol great work and I'm glad you didn't spend too much time making it look like a table that would go in a home, it won't be long before it's marked, bashed, chipped, and glue stained. I reckon it will last a year before the first saw cut and then for the rest of your life you will use it as it should be, a table that has chisel cuts, paint marks, if it ever gets too bad you can always take a few mil of the top. From my own experience, a shelf is far better than draws and compartments and make life/work far quicker, for small tools magnetic tool holders are fantastic and work as they should.

[@CaptKirk1701]

You better autograph that table, it will be around long after you are gone, really nice table!

[@williamfrancis7697]

No joke that got to be the best table iv seen so far

[@AvaT42]

That is a beautifully made and strong work bench. You are Very skillful Kris.

[@pcmiller2710]

Nice strong table Kris

[@AndrewBryantPianoTuner]

Strong and stable

[@ariebenschop4632]

The trick with the rusty steel is very clever. Maybe it's a common thing but I'd never seen it before!

[@Sqtgdog]

Great job. Easy to follow along, and mimic using basic tools.

[@Sammy296296]

As the son of a capenter, dont sell yourself short with your comments. That is a very well put together and thought out workbench!

[@ironleatherwood1357]

Great job, looking forward to the singer sewing machine video.

[@KarenSmith958]

It's beautiful! The quality and value are mind-blowing! It's yours for life!

[@TheContrariann]

There is nothing more satisfying than in the making and nothing more fulfilling happiness than to take pride in the project that you have completed! Buying a new Glossy fine Table with money from the Capitalist market will give you a sense of shallow happiness of owning it, thats consumption! But its even more satisfying to make it yourself and it gives you a sense of pride, that's creation! Consumption is cheap pleasure, whether it is consuming fast food, consuming movies, social media, etc.. consumption is all shallow pleasures, but creation of those very same things, making your own food, making your own music, writing, making your own table - is ultimately the most fulfilling and satisfying way of living! - My reflections from Karl Marx's theory of Alienation.

[@nancybockenkamp8760]

What a beauty and beast that table s goin last a lifetime awesome 👍 job !!! Thanks for sharein 😁

[@pooterist]

No need to apologize for this not being a work of art - it looks brilliant!

[@oldaxehead655]

Dude this bench is awesome. No fuss over the joinery, just a super solid build. Cant wait to make mine.

[@alpinegeordie]

I can hear the pride in your voice top job mate :-)

[@DesmondPenrose]

One of your best bit of work are kid 👍🏿

[@markhignett7671]

Impressive, going to be a strong and sturdy bench

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

I love it, it's a Master Craftsmans workbench!! 👌🤗

[@АлександрИльин-ц3ж]

Отличный верстак получилось молодец))))

[@athloneduke]

The sawdust etc will go well in the chicken hutch. So reclaimed timber, electric from hydro, true off grid, well done. Keep up the great work 🇮🇪

[@koningbolo4700]

The outfeed table is a work of art in the practical and visual sense... good job Herr Harbour, I like to extend my enthusiastic contrafibularities to your efforts in the woodworking department.

[@jimmymiriamhadfield5755]

Fantastic bench you never cease to amaze me.

[@johnibbertson2960]

lovely work kris built to last

[@rjstilwell877]

Sturdy looking with a nice design!

[@micvanreijen]

Kris Kenobi, Jedi of the Artisan order.

[@Coyotehello]

That is very very nice indeed. And the cost is fantastic.

[@robc3056]

And for my next project im going to support the entire universe on my bench ive just made.. nice bench sir happy christmas

[@channeleva5490]

Watched it twice, it was that good!!

[@IsThisAvailable550]

Kris, instead of drilling more holes on the vice, why don't you make a 'block' with 3 pegs in, to fit into the holes you already have, that way, it should cover most situations 👌

[@michaeljohnmason3674]

That is fantastic no wonder you are pleased well done.

[@lancedaniels]

Really enjoyed to see this table built.

[@kennethgibbons2487]

I'd like to order one Kris :) - built with your usual efficiency and innovation - liked the way you used a rusty metal bar to find the high spots on the table.

[@ralphwilmot6351]

Excellent workbench, love the concept of salvage and making good, complements the workshop. The ultimate man cave.

[@11jdstein]

Looks solid and practical, nice work. 👍

[@valeriebostick1913]

Beautiful work bench

[@asustainablejunglewayoflife]

Excellent. Beauty of a work table.

[@kenleach2516]

Great to see the workshop getting set up for yourself! Awesome

[@toddincabo]

Nice bench, I knew that clamp would get used right off the bat after saying "I might not use this much". I recently installed a larger clamp like that and am kicking myself for not doing it years ago. Thanks for sharing and have a great Holidays.

[@paulwaldrop]

Merry Christmas Kris and Dot. Many Happy years.

[@geoff975]

Well done Kris, knew you would use the vice, looks great

[@martkt10]

I might have to look at some railway sleepers for wood turning, lovely bench

[@ilenastarbreeze4978]

If its from a rail they almost always use treated. But treating doesnt usually go all the way in wood and expecially those tgick but if you plane it down use a mask for sure you dont wana breathe in that stuff

[@makipsee]

Damm man that looks awesome!! Great work!!

[@danscully2430]

Nice work I like the way you built the legs that bench will be solid. I built myself a bench from reclaimed 9x2 beams which saved me a lot.

[@micvanreijen]

I'm working on a scrapwood Paul Sellers bench myself. A bit more work than this one and a bit more subtle. If I'd have the space like you have, I'd probably build sonething as sturdy as yours (but with Pauls framing and joinery, probably, which is why you have an awesome bench in 5 days and I have a lot of parts that still need to come together after 5 months..) Awesome build, well done.

[@oscarwoodly7392]

Excellent job. Good narration!

[@PavlovsBob]

Beautifully done!

[@jimmycorkhill1390]

Great stuff. Found you channel today, im off grid too. Really impressed with what youve done and your enthusiasm. I would normally be the last to say anything about safety, but when you use that surfacer i get visions! It's my trade and ive spent many hours on such machines. My boss lost the ends of his fingers via a distraction. Please make yourself a push stick and bring the fence up closer. I understand if you tell me to f off, but I only have your best.... I have an old 3 phase muli machine I got many years ago that im yet to install, didnt think I would ever do so, but your system has given me inspiration. Best wishes.

[@Who.is.Clinton]

Great skill and vision Kris, genius!

[@oaksho]

Great bench Kris I wish I had room for one like it. That looks like it will last for a few generations.

[@zuluwars2996]

That's a very nice work bench and will serve you well Kris. You're a joy to watch working, I love how you are often pleased by reusing materials I can tell this brings you great pleasure. Thank you for all of the lovely youtube video's you've shared this year.

[@KrisHarbour]

I really enjoy it. Taking a pile of wood from a skip that is full of nails and making something out of it is really rewarding :)

[@craigculver1933]

You should be very proud of what you have achieved, the house, workshop, and hydro/solar setups are simply brilliant. And most importantly you set about doing these things with great passion and proof to all that an endless budget is not the answer, A agile mind and astounding work ethic can move mountains young man, I watch your videos with great fondness, Thank you for sharing them, best wishes.

[@cgoodwin2875]

Great bench build, hard to imagine a sturdier table. Sometimes you want portable and sometimes you need something with a bit of gravity about it.

[@robviolin1]

Nice work and the best part is the price.

[@gumtreejunction6342]

Great job Kris. Good, sturdy bench I am sure will see lots of hard use. Also, nice to see you sharing credit and promoting the original builder. Well done.

[@eduardom800]

love it!!! and I find your solution to the bow much more clever than the other guy's (without diminishing the other guy's solution)

[@jessjulian9458]

Marry Christmas my friend and happy new year. Nice work bench. Nice to see you working in the shop. Can't wait to see all the great things you will build.

[@LiamRoberts00]

I love it...a beautiful workshop in the making.

[@maryblaylock6545]

Well done ye! And a Happy Christmas to all!

[@staxter6]

Bravo Kris, made a similar reclaim potting table for my Sis last year, it was so nice she moved it indoors!! Great work. Like the way you forego the use of a multi dollar DeWalt chop saw to trim the shelving pieces..;-)

[@Dayesleeper]

Beaut of a table. Must be nice to be working now in the work, shop when I can hear the rain outside. Merry Christmas Kris

[@juliantapia6527]

congratulations and respects that if it is a table of VERY STRONG AND WITHOUT SO MANY MUCH SALUDOS DESDE MEXICO

[@caroles5258]

A smaller version of the workbench would make an awesome chopping block in the kitchen.

[@RJCOutdoors]

This is so awesome. Im envious of such a work space

[@Coverly]

Collect all the wood chippings/sawdust and put them in the part of the chicken coop where they lay their eggs. They love a nice warm and dry area to lay eggs, but it also soaks up all the chickenshit/chickenpee, so your eggs come out clean. ;-) So what's the plan for the shed when the man cave/workshop/garage gets finished?

[@mcflapper7591]

Brilliant! Happy Holidays to both of you!

[@ThePeterfrancon]

Beautiful workbench! Very nice work Kris.

[@TheDaf95xf]

Absolutely amazing 🤩👍🏻

[@frodehau]

I love it. I need a table for my shop, and need it to have some heft to it. It will take ages without a planer though.

[@domw3239]

When you busted out that rusty length of metal my mind was blown. I would never have thought to use that to find the high spots.

[@richardsabean5781]

$$$$$$ Grows on trees,, great work bench,, putting tools to work which will bring in jobs & fill your home with more tools & funky home & hand made projects..You can live to work,, or work to live.. Aloha my friend!!

[@george8873]

Definitely a very strong work bench. Could probably park a car on it and it wouldn't budge. It turned out beautifully.

[@jimmyfingers2]

Merry Christmas Kris and Dot, and have a happy new year

[@raynoladominguez4730]

Nicely done. Happy and safe holidays to you and your family.

[@DRJMF1]

nice table, well done for recycling mate, just need to keep an eye on skips (dreaded developers in town) to find loads of free wood.

[@grahamecarter]

That Looks Like Solid Piece of work bench Kris. Should last a few years no problem. Thanks for effort producing these videos again this year, Have a great christmas and new year.

[@phildodd9942]

A lovely table - congratulations ! We made one half the size of that, in 1960. Ours differed in that it was designed to disassemble, so everything was joined by coach bolts, with diagonals across the sides and back rather than horizontals ( a triangle is apparently a strong way of getting sturdiness ? ). We were doing much lighter work... In the end, we sold the bench with the house 35 years later, so it never was disassembled ! It must be a lovely smell from the newly-planed wood ? Wishing you an enjoyable holiday, with some of your home-made brew that you might still have ? All the best !

[@AaronTheHumanist]

Superb work 👍

[@barrywilliams883]

Really enjoy your vids, keep up the good work.

[@CaptainDansWanderings]

Good work Kris. That's an awesome workbench that's aesthetically pleasing and practical. It fits right in with the rest of your workshop.

[@DRJMF1]

your videos are packed with clever tips to recycle and save money whilst producing quality implements. well done, very impressive and thank you for sharing. Can you guide me to build a log cabin somehow ?

[@TheHeavyend81]

Brilliant, well done.

[@Mark-xl8gg]

It looks great wishI had room for it Stop knocking yourself It going to work great

[@Mark-xl8gg]

Years ago in the early 80s I and some of my colleagues made a bench this size from french oak bought in 4” slabs 30 feet long It was a thing of beauty and for a client We were all gutted to see it leave the workshop It was too pretty to use but the client was not somebody who was going to use it hard he was more interested in it looking good

[@KrisHarbour]

That much of been a very heavy bench! this is really heavy and is softwood.

[@Mark-xl8gg]

Kris Harbour Natural Building oh sorry took the dogs outside Yes the weight was substantial the bench was 8x3ft with wooden vises and screws all hand made on the long edge we made an apron for the dogs and at the opposite end to the tail vise a drawer fitted for chisels Wished it was mine But it must still be out there with some patina now It’s a good thought

[@bowboysam]

Merry Christmas to ya Kris, here’s a long term project (not that you don’t have enough already!) but I think you should build a very large reservoir up near the penn stock. Level the ground and build the biggest earth bag container for extra water power during the summer. You will need this in times of drought and heavy equipment usage. If the machines ain’t turning, you ain’t earning. Fill the thing with a wind driven water pump with a regular garden hose in the stream, and if you like put your barn next to it, so it can be filled with rainwater. You could run a siphon tube from the tank to the penn stock to give you extra water when you need it. The wind pump will just fill it when the wind blows. Not taking a lot, but some every day. Then you might end up with many thousands of litres of water to use when it doesn’t rain. I live in the U.K. and water supply goes up and down a lot. This might “save the farm” during very low rainfall. It’s something to think about - would you survive with no rainfall?

[@stevesshed555]

That my friend is very very impressive! I’ve been a general builder and carpenter all my life , and you never cease to impress me with your knowledge and understanding and talent ! All the best Steve

[@stevesshed555]

I don’t know exactly where you are , but I know I’m not to far away 30 mins ish , happy to help one day cheers steve (stonework ) is my thing

[@markgoode4109]

Super job. I'm certain this will last for years and be a great help in the shop. Thanks for sharing and best wishes for xmas and 2020.

[@LeJimster]

I bet that table is mega heavy. Nice work. I would love to have the space and tools you've got. Can't wait to see what else you make after you've finished your workshop.

[@Crewsy]

Great bench/table. I’ve seen the video that I believe was the inspiration for your build. Especially since you mentioned the bow in the boards requiring the one to be thinner in the center to fit.

[@dugdru2]

That work bench is brilliant - indestructible and probably weighs two tons, lol. I am jealous, I wish I had one of these in my basement. Your old surface and hand planers are really nice tools that look like you take great care of them. I am looking forward to seeing how you finish and level your shop floor. Nice work!

[@hallenw]

Great job! MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄

[@Tailss1]

You could park a lorry on that one. Nice job mate. xD

[@Bezovideo]

Nice build!

[@mrsgbee]

Wishing you and Dot and pets a very happy Christmas and a great 2020 🎉
