JEWELERS BENCH PIN: Custom, Heavy Duty + Modular!

[@wendypaterson9051]

I would love to see a bench tour. Getting ready to have one built -

[@BigDaddyOworkshop]

I really like this. I've been toying with the idea of adding those trailer hitch style workbench accessory mounts but they are just to big for my small shop. This gives me some additional ideas. Thanks!

[@PunkerBuilds]

You're welcome Michael! Glad I could help!

New to your channel site. I was drawn here by chance. I saw a brief vid clip and decided I was interested. Interesting concepts you have. Long time hobbyist. I do watch repair and jewelry. I made my own desk. It's not traditional, but it works for me until it don't. My desk is a bit bigger than most. Longer and wider. I still used the arch to get closer to my work. I got second hand chest of draws and cut them down, like in half and used L brackets to join them to the top of my desk. I made a bracket for my bench pin and o drilled hole for a mandrel. I'm always looking for new inspirations. Thank you for your inspirations and for makes you video. Keep making it work.

Hello! Thank you for watching! I'm glad you found my video interesting, your bench also sounds quite interesting. Custom made solutions are always the best!

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Very nice job. That is a very good up grade there for your work bench. Muit use. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many more years to come. Can't wait to see more videos on this great KZbin channel. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making.

Awesome build and awesome intro, great video! Thanks for sharing

[@PunkerBuilds]

Thank you Miles!

I'm really into woodworking and metal fab so I haven't really looked at jewelers setups yet, but damn this looks like it would be so handy to add to the workbench. Great video 👍maybe a new rabbit hole for me to go down

[@PunkerBuilds]

Glad you liked it! I couldn't live without mine, it's my go-to place for dealing with all the finicky small stuff!

[@robertjonessr.4187]

The was awesome & gives new ideas , Thank You 😎

[@PunkerBuilds]

Thank you Robert, I appreciate it!

[@dianacaisse7622]

I'd love to have a copy of the plans if you ever create some. I have jewelers bench and bench pin but the interchangeable systems sounds like a wonderful idea!

[@PunkerBuilds]

Hi Diana! It's definitely on my list of things to do!

[@jaderene]

I know this video is like two years old, but I would like to see a video on your bench, possibly how you built it, and plans of available!

[@PunkerBuilds]

Wow, time flies! It does not feel like that video was that long ago. I'll definitely add it to my list of videos to make though.

[@TosaNewsense]

Lovely build! I really enjoy the style of this video- super to the point and informative, yet with panache. Subscribed!

[@PunkerBuilds]

Thank you! I appreciate it! I'm trying my best to find the time to make more videos!

[@saundraharman3973]

I WISH I COULD WELD BECAUSE I LOVE YOUR SETUP❤

[@PunkerBuilds]

Haha, It's a worthwhile skill! Thanks!

[@michaels5705]

I am very impressed with your skills. Thanks for expending the time and energy (I think that has to slow your making down a lot) and for sharing your insight.

[@PunkerBuilds]

Thank you for watching! It's definitely laborious but i think it's worthwhile.

[@danceswithaardvarks3284]

Very nicely made. Did you consider making a quick change system with dovetails like the GRS one? Your bench looks great too. I agree they are a very useful workbench for any maker, not just jewellers. I am not a jeweller, but made one for my workshop and it gets used as much as my carpenters workbench (maybe more).

[@PunkerBuilds]

Hey, thanks for watching! Good to hear from another jewellery bench enthusiast! I really did want to make the quick change cleats. Since It's made by hand and any other attachments would need to match, I figured it would be easier to just... bolt them on lol. Replicating those compound mitres was just going to be a bit more tedious than drilling two holes so I took the easy route. I'm definitely happy with how solid it turned out. Just another reason why I'd love a milling machine some day!

[@danceswithaardvarks3284]

Thanks. I know what you mean. I currently add a tenon to any add ons and they are held into a mortice which has a metal insert , set into the workbench, and two set screws. I was looking for ideas, which is how I found your video. Yeah it did occur to me that it might be a pain making dovetails for each accessory, but I'm leaning in that direction (maybe using metal on the workbench and using 9 degree dovetails which could be routed into wooden inserts). I'm in the same situation with wanting a milling machine too lol. Just made some Foredom handpiece holders from wood and aluminium, they are very nice, but would have been better to have milled them. I subbed your channel and will be keeping a lookout.

[@bradenbart9309]

Bro….. that is a sexy set up

[@PunkerBuilds]

Hahaha thanks!

[@VivianRichards-op6nj]

Yes I would like to know more thanks

[@PunkerBuilds]

Thanks for letting me know! It's on my to-do list.

[@jessicachampeau6710]

This is awesome! Do you sell them?

[@PunkerBuilds]

Thank you Jessica! Not yet, but if this video took off and there were a demand, I would!

[@italiriano3460]

Great. I would be very interested if you decide to sell them

[@miraclemike0948]

Nice

[@PunkerBuilds]

Thanks Mike!

[@haidafella8651]

I like it. . I have to tinker with my peg from time to time because I hammer on it.. needs to be a peg that can withstand a smack.

[@PunkerBuilds]

Thanks for watching! This one can definitely withstand a hammer blow, its the double-layered plywood that gives lol.

[@haidafella8651]

@@PunkerBuilds ya. Stuff bounces all over my desk top

[@PedalesAlm]

Interesante. 😉

[@PunkerBuilds]

Thanks!
