Hey! Inspiring work :) but I can't seem to access your website, seems to be giving me 500 errors.

[@jonr4164]

your skills and videos are wildly underrated.

[@bobgoater8437]

modern studies poor workmen always blame their tools don’t need the expensive workshop to do this project just basic tools and bit more time n care for what your making

[@KeithOlson]

FWIW, it just occurred to me that if you put magnets on the bottom of the dogs, they could not only pull up the extension stops but, if you put magnets in the bottom of dog-sized holes in the side of the workbench, they would hold the dogs in place when not in use.

[@pemtax557]

I've been viewing everything I can find on mini workbenches before I build my own. Your design is the first I've seen that makes me want to emulate everything about it's functionality. By far the most clever design I've seen to date .... excellent work, something you should be proud of. Cheers!

[@YolandaHernandez-wo6el]

You are a truly amazing craftsman, Sir! Not only your artistry as a Carpenter, but also as a Videographer are exceptional. Compliments from Mexico.

[@robertgarvey5744]

Just wanted to say thank you as this workbench has allowed me to start woodworking in my NYC apartment!

[@GreyRock100]

Did you clamp this to a bigger table? I'd be interested to know how you're keeping it steady.

[@Felix9lives]

@@GreyRock100 Thinking of rigging it on top of my Black and Decker Workmate:))

[@robertgarvey5744]

That’s right Ben. I spent my first few months clamping boards to my kitchen sink. Once I made the mini work bench, I would clamp it down to my kitchen table. Now, I have a bora work table that I can quickly put up and take down and clamp this mini workbench to the top. Works great and easy storage!

[@robertgarvey5744]

@Falconhoof Lots of patience and time (the lockdowns helped with that one). I used a wooden handscrew clamp clamped to my kitchen countertop as a makeshift vice, cut all the maple with a Japanese hand saw, cordless drill for holes, and cleaned up stanley no. 5 for flattening and squaring things up. Boy are things easier now that I actually have the vise to work with.

[@quakeroats533]

@@robertgarvey5744 very impressive, brother. You'll now enjoy it for years to come!

[@dottie3440]

The one thing I truly enjoy with all your video's is how you make so many accessories from scratch. These days we are lead to believe that we must buy all these things but seeing you do it is a joy and a good education for woodworkers at every level ...

[@michaelbannerman-roberts1518]

I fully agree with the use of scrap and 2nd hand timber to make stuff, u've done an excellent job! It's said u can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear - BUT, it CAN b done. The amount of waste wood that gets chucked in the bin from a building site is criminal - I chuck nothing out, it all gets used and when beyond use it can always keep me warm. Hats off to u sir, top job.

I wish this was available commercially, I dont have access to a workshop so cant make one, but its exactly what i need for my little flat and my various hobbies. Anyway excellent video hope you do well with it, you certainly deserve to.

[@iamrocketray]

I have found a poor mans version of your mini workbench, its made by Sjoberg, they make two, one has a lot of MDF in its makeup so I will take a miss on that one, but the second one is the Sjobergs Smart Workstation Pro and is all beech, its not a patch on yours(no extention) but seems to be the best available, I might even be able to modify and improve on it, I wont know until i get it. Anyway thanks for the idea.

[@jimhagler3716]

I have to say I'm impressed. A man who knows the value and the proper use of hand tools is a rare thing these days. a wonderful job sir and a brilliant use of well, everything. those Japanese saws are great aren't they.

[@tomnekuda3818]

Man, I envy you the wood/tools you have to work with.....also the sureness of your moves. If I moved anywhere nearly as quickly, we'd have a pile of detached fingers..... Great ideas! What a creation of usefulness and beauty.

[@erictheviking672]

Everything about this is just spot on. You are a talented designer and maker too.

[@budwoodman1716]

Have seen other renditions of 'mini' workbenches but I must say, yours is unique, despite its simplistic construction. I like your home made vise mechanism. It really seems to hold the work pieces nice and tight. Excellent job !!!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Bud! The vise works great, I'm very happy with it! :)

[@carloantoniomartinelli5418]

Bud, the phrase you want to use here is "simple cnstruction" not 'simplistic' . The first is an exprtession of praise, while the latter is definitely NOT.

[@budwoodman1716]

Thank you. It is so nice to know that some self appointed individual will always be around to edit and revise other peoples mistakes. Imagine my surprise when I opened my KZbin to find out that my very own reincarnated William F. Buckley had decided to proofread my remarks to an Australian craftsman. First of all, the word simplistic in itself, is an adjective. When I graduated from High School over 50 years ago, it was my understanding that an adjective modifies or describes a noun. The word construction can be a noun when used to describe a creation. In using the term "simplistic construction", I was making that very point. My statement, as written, was correct and your interpretation of my MEANING was incorrect. Also, Mr. Buckley, I would like to point out that you spelled the work 'construction' incorrectly. I have taken it upon myself to show you the correct spelling, should it become the object/subject of future attempts to correct someone against their will. Have a wonderful day.

[@budwoodman1716]

Oh, I forgot. Hidden in my response, I intentionally made another mistake. See if you can locate that mistake. I added it purely for shits and giggles.

[@budwoodman1716]

Sorry, one final thing. You also misspelled the word 'expression'. I did note that earlier, but failed to include it in my original response.

[@papercutz100]

Seems like this would be relatively easy to make with regular dimensional wood from the home store. Not sure if it'd be as sturdy but it shouldn't be too expensive. Might actually give this one a go!

[@PaskMakes]

That would work great and as you said, easier! :)

[@maxximumb]

I'd be tempted to use plywood and laminate pieces together for the thicker sections. (mostly because I love the way plywood looks)

[@maxximumb]

@Norbury53 I live about 1/2 a mile from a lumber yard and they sell off their plywood off cuts quite cheaply.

[@tiffanyhackerspace8377]

@Norbury53 Check with your local cabinet makers. I just got a job at a cabinet maker, we use RIDICULOUSLY good plywood, and we burn our offcuts. I'm DYING looking for things to do with those offcuts. Sooooo, I'm getting one of Andrew Klein's miter fold dado saw blades from Rockler so I can make nice boxes out of this expensive scrap!! :-)

[@rmar127]

Norbury53 Hey mate, I agree 100% I did shop fitting on and off for eight years all over Australia and even new Zealand. The only time I ever saw ply being used was on expensive commercial pieces or high end retail pieces. Everything else was just shitty old MDF. As a hobbiest wood worker, it made me cry inside not seeing real timber used. That being said though, one of the builders I worked with was close to 70. He’d actually done his apprenticeship in antique furniture restoration back in the 60’s. I saw some pics of some of the things he’d built in his spare time and they were sensational. If I ever won the lotto, I’d hire old Bill for a couple of years to teach me everything he could.

[@kellysustaire4563]

Nice mini bench, you've put a lot of thought into this and came up with some really cool ideas.

[@franciscrotty2772]

God if I all the power tools that this guy has I more than likely not be watching this video. Love all these guys that have more tools than I ever had in my life time. Normal people don’t have them and just watch them for just the watching, they never build them. Thanks for showing off your working video.

[@heatherkevinm]

[@altosack]

It depends on what you mean by “woodworking”. Matthias’ engineering is superior; Pask’s workmanship is superior. Matthias often engineers things so good workmanship is not required for certain aspects; Pask uses good workmanship everywhere, always. As an engineer, I slightly prefer Matthias’ work, but I also get a lot of benefit from Pask, which is why I’m here. As an aside, this mini workbench is, in fact, exceptionally well engineered.
