Building A Work Bench

Twin Turbo End Vise Kickstarter Campaign: kck.st/2Eti3sN
This work bench is made in hard maple and mahogany. The legs are made in hard maple and wrapped with 1/8in mahogany to make it look like they are solid mahogany. I did this to save money on wood and get a stronger bench leg. I'm using the 20 inch twin turbo vis made by Andy Klein. Go check out his kickstarter! The work bench is 4 inch thick 26 inches wide and 66 inches long, it stands 35 inches tall. Thanks for watching!

Awesome job... but those untrimmed vice jaws kill me lol

[@AndrewKleinWW]

Sweet bench, and thanks for showing off the vise, glad you like it

[@WoodByToth]

I love it thanks man

[@xiphoidprocess257]

Hey I know the guy with the boot on his foot! Truly one of a kind. Currently watching your videos with said person. Keep up the great work!

[@johnconklin9039]

My favorite finish for shop stuff is BLO. Quick, simple and if I have some left from something else I just swab some more on the bench, etc.

[@WoodByToth]

Thats a good use of it, thanks for the tip

[@EvanDunville]

I like boiled linseed oil for a bench, its just enough protection to prevent glue from sticking without making the surface too slippery. It's also good for when you have to resurface the top.

[@saywhaat8933]

Baby oil

[@kratt309]

I love the “raise the trees” t shirt dust mask while at the table saw !!

[@garybrooks1194]

Very nice wish I had one that good

[@mmccullough3951]

Suggest Tung oil. It has some properties for repelling dirt / grime and is easy clean. Is easy to apply and re apply when the inevitable wear starts to show, and looks nice !

[@TheWoodLab]

Awesome heavy bench and I'll definitely be checking out Andy's kickstarter! I used BLO on my bench and have been pretty happy with it. - Jim

[@ryanrich4596]

Now you can be a real woodworker! 😁. For my bench I just used Danish oil. Works really well and give it a nice color.

[@WoodByToth]

Awesome! Thanks.

[@ryanrich4596]

@@WoodByToth forgot to say the bench looks great. I love mahogany. I made my hand tool cabinet out of it and Tigerwood.

[@chipmcnally599]

It was so easy to watch you work on your beautiful bench! I'd finish it with Odie's Oil.

[@twilliam3890]

Leopard print top!

[@waynebooker498]

Nice. I build my Roubo out of hard maple as well, I used danish oil and it looks and works fantastic. Glue doesn't really stick to it and it has more grip when clamping than before it was finished.

[@sapelesteve]

That looks like a nice heavy duty workbench Kyle, well done! So glad that you included the show stealer Todd boy at the end of the video!! :)

[@WoodByToth]

Good does steal the show!

[@BruceAUlrich]

That thing looks great, Kyle!

[@Madein515]

That is awesome!

[@MarcinKrukar]

Kyle, you should wrap it all with plywood. It's too nice for a work bench.

[@WoodByToth]

hhaha

[@stanleyshostak2737]

Cool bench! I like to put on an oil like young oil or BLO. Then when you get glue drips or other things you can use your card scraper and clean up the bench top. Then wit oil you can put some on the areas that you scrape clean. No fussing with a film finish. Just my take.

[@WoodByToth]

Sweet Thanks!

[@Matthewroyermusic]

very cool, I'm getting ready to build one myself, I dig the way you did the legs. well done. as far as finish I'd go with a linseed oil.

[@steveswoodworking2504]

Yep, boiled linseed oil for the top. You don't want it to be too slick. Just at least some minor protection. I also bought a silicone mat for the top of the bench, I use it when doing glue ups, and the glue comes off, without getting it on the top of the bench.

[@murphymmc]

You're a pretty good wood-machinist. Would have been nice to see some nice mortise and tenons on the legs connections. Those lags will work for a while but eventually you'll be wanting something better. Just wax the top, it will get scratched, cut, dented and maybe a few dimples from over drilled holes that got away. It'll be a lot easier to re-plane when that needs to be done and a whole lot easier with a super sharp plane.

[@kurttalert]

Nice bench, Kyle. That vise is so sweet. I kickstarted a 2 pack as soon as I could- can’t wait to build a new bench around them!

[@WoodByToth]

Awesome. Your gonna love it

[@tooljunkie555]

Looks SOLID ASF! I wood definitely put some type of top coat on it. Like satin finish polycrylic or a shellac that way of glue gets on it its easier to get off and iff something spills on it theres some type of protection. I use satin poly. On mine once a year But to each their own.im actually building a stock pile up to build a new one also after 6 yrs it's time to upgrade from the 2x4s too.lol

[@WoodByToth]

Cool thanks for the tips

The non-dust control is killing me! lol ...nice bench though

[@AndrewMcNett]

Lack of leopard print notwithstanding I think that bench is rad

[@2020heinsite]

I would recommend drilling dog holes (not for the pup of course, but for you) out in front of your vices at a minimum to give even more flexibility in securing work pieces.

[@JordanWoodwerx]

Nice bench, nice vise, nice work!

[@kevinmackfurniture]

Looks similar in size to the NBSS benches.... except the Vise. Like you I've been doing alot of work on my tablesaw outfeed table. This would be great for me as well.

[@hazembata]

I dig it.

[@btdga]

As for finish, it depends on what you plan to use the bench for. If its strictly for workholding, then no finish would be best as work won't slide around as easily. If you're going to do glue-ups and finishing on it then a coat of oil/varnish blend (Watco Danish Oil for example) will help keep glue from sticking and finishes from staining the bench and possibly transferring to other work later. I definitely wouldn't use wax on it unless its going to be an outfeed table for your saw.

[@reforzar]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOTH!

[@WoodByToth]

Thanks Dude!!

[@SindriDiego]

Awesome, really makes me want to build á bench,

[@naybobdenod]

Hello Kyle, hope alls well. Great video but please please please, when cutting and sanding, wear some kind of respirator and protect yourself. I know they are a pain but its worth your while. Most sincerely and greetings from the UK. John.

[@WoodByToth]

I know I'm bad with it. Filming made it even harder but I do need to get better at it

[@Blueridgedog]

Watching the saw, I am not certain his dust collection system is working.

[@Little_Red_Riding_Hoodlum]

Very nice work! All I could think the entire build was, "no such thing as 'overkill'" 😂

[@MustCreateThings]

Yeah man!!! 👍👍👍

[@ellieboa]

Nice! Hope your friends foot is better soon!

[@WoodByToth]

Its gonna be awhile for him

[@Smallathe]

Wonderful build. The vice is lovely... needs a finish... :)s What about a glass top layer? I love glass - I can cut and the blades never cut through or mark the glass (glass is harder than steel) and so on. As long as you don't bang on it... :) If you are worried about breaking the glass - some stainless sheet will hit he spot.

[@davidpeterson5186]

I put boiled linseed oil on mine.

[@organdvizheniya]

thank you!

[@TexasGTO]

LOL The boot THE BOOOOOT!!!! haha

[@HBSuccess]

Why didnt you size the base deeper so at least one side of the legs is flush with the top? Doing that affords much more clamping versatility IMO as you can support wide panels (or doors in my case) on dogs in the legs- and clamp them to the edge of the top.

[@mikeseymour4608]

The vice jaws come on

[@yrmh1]

Use BLO for your finish.

[@jakecarter2414]

Use odie's oil as the finish for the top.

[@thefish5861]

Kyle, you need to start buying your wood glue in the 55 gallon drum economy size.

[@carndt124]

Looks like a great solid bench. How is the top attached to the legs - I didn't catch that in the video.

[@reforzar]

Todd has some ups. When you signing him up for basketball?

[@MrActiveDown]

Normally I like an oil finish. But since it'll be used so much, go for the wax.

[@johnmosier6899]

I agree, the wax will be nice for keeping it clean too. Awesome job though!

[@strandloper]

I would think looks are not so important for something that will be in a shop, so I'm curious about the decision to veneer the legs.

Nice job. With the sound track, it's like wood porn.

[@ryderscustomcreations3665]

I’m planning my bench build right now while I wait for my twin turbo vise to arrive. Is there a reason you joined the base with those (lagbolts?) Do you have plans or did you use any certain plans for this build?

[@WoodByToth]

No plans but i think its stronger and it was a lot faster to put together. I didnt want to cut mortices And have to do a huge glue up of the base. The twin turbos are great

[@scottsimpey2965]

Beautiful bench Kyle. I’d be so afraid of dinging it up though if I had just made that lol. How big is your shop?

[@WoodByToth]

I very afraid of that, Its 800sqft.

Kyle! Nice workbench man. Really like the look of it. You'll get some good use out of that. But i have to ask. What's with the no dustmask when your sawing or sanding? I see that a lot in your video's. That's not healthy man. You should really look after yourself. I think i speak for a lot of YT followers that we want you to continue with making this vids for as long as possible and not get some kind of lung disease. Anyway. Keep up the fantastic work.
