Looking great mate nice to see the family getting stuck in again, I've just brought the kreg 5 pocket hole jig they are expensive but so much quicker than having to keep clamping the small jig to the work piece keep up the good work. 👍

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Cheers mate, ye once set up that's it your off, definitely a worth while investment. 😊

[@HEADBANGERINGS]

Great build mate, looks good for a project i the future. A small tip, f your not using the boards straight away give the a jet wash it works a treat.

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Cheers Davy, we do that in the summer but I don't have the storage in the workshop to store them long enough 😭🌞 in the summer they dry very quickly don't they. Need a bigger workshop 🤣🤔🤔🤔

[@mrb4408]

I buy new scaffolding boards, only a tenner each. Saves all the clean up bud. Lovely job, look great as a TV unit too.

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Cheers mate, my only concern with new boards is they are generally very moisture content heavy and the reclaimed are pretty dry.

[@mrb4408]

@@karlpopewoodcraft I always have a few drying in advance of projects, so hopefully by the time I use them they’ve got to a decent dryness. Then re-stock accordingly.

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

@@mrb4408 ye thats also going to be my plan when I can find somewhere to store them🤔 stay tuned as I may well have soon 🙏

Hi Karl, great video. I'm actually looking at making a tv stand for our garden room as I can't find anything that will cover the sockets (electrician put them in at 52cm high and most tv units are around 40-50cm high so they remain visible). Your design (without the top detail) would be perfect and to my own measurements. Thanks for the inspiration and tutorial. I'll let you know how I get on! Karen

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Cheers Karen, hope it goes well 😊

[@frankslittleworkshop]

Nicely done Karl 😁. Nice looking sturdy bench. Working with reclaimed is always a minefield (as you know). The times Its cost me a set of planer blades because of a hidden nail.... but I'm sure I'll do it again... and again 😂. Thanks for the video mate 😁👍

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Cheers Frank it is indeed but if it pays the bills I'm making it 😂

[@woodfather]

looks good Karl, well done on getting the kids into it, I can't get them to come say hello to me when I'm in the shop 😄

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Cheers mate, two love it three hate me😂🤣

[@JamesManCave]

Nice to see the kids getting involved Karl, this is turning into a proper family business. Wish I had the room for something like this in my entrance hall, looks a proper solid bit of furniture that 👍

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Thanks James, Jakob is officially my apprentice now I have to actually pay him by law😭 and give him breaks😢

@@karlpopewoodcraft but you pay him with a father's love! Surely that constitutes as a decent pay? 🤔

Another great Pope family woodworking fantastic video build, could watch this style of woodworking till the cows come home. The Kreg Pocket Hole jig is such a quick & easy go to, you’ll fall in love with the K5 mate. Keep up the work you do Karl & I hope that the work keeps rolling in mate 🍻🍻👍👍👍👍

Great work, what a team 🙂👍 a very useful piece of furniture

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Cheers David 😊

[@CharacterRedWorkshop]

Loved the information you provided on the lumber. Starting out so many people get caught up with cheap materials and that’s fine. Sometimes it isn’t worth it and I learned that lesson many many times lol.

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Definitely true mate, Im not keen on reclaimed scaffold boards but they do look nice once wax is applied.

[@ChrisFranklyn]

Oh, I'd not considered the extra filth and detritus to harm your tools on old boards! If you had the space, it would be worth stocking up on new ones and rack them to dry them to furniture grade so they're ready when needed. Also requires spare money as well as space :)

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Hi Chris that's the long term goal more space to do things like this. 😊

[@simonpidgeon949]

Nice job Karl, it looks solid and very useful!

Nice job mate scaff boards are hit and miss but cheap and look great when finished. Loving the sound effects 😆🤣😂 the canned laughter and applause 👏 brilliant 👏

Nice Job Karl, and great reclaim recycle ♻️ bench. Cheers 🇦🇺🇦🇺⚓️⚓️⚓️🍻🍻

Thank you David. 😊

[@rwind656]

Great project for those trying to sell their work locally, and easy to offer in multiple sizes; thumbs up for the plan! Like the dark wax finish. (Do you make your own?) And would it help to pressure wash the scaffold boards first? I have not tried to put any through good tools. BTW, I enjoyed watching. Interesting to include your family. I also liked the speed of the video. Well done. I actually had to pause and change the playback speed to .75 to understand your accent, lol, but even then, the speed of the video didn't suffer a bit or drag. Good production! Hope you get the subscribers you deserve!

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Thanks mate that's really good feedback and much appreciated. We use fiddes wax sold here in the UK and as far as the plans Jakob is working hard at learning sketchup. We do pressure wash the scaffold boards in the summer but unfortunately they just won't dry in time in the winter and we are limited with storage space at the moment. Thanks again 😊

[@PeteBeardsley]

Absolutely agree about reclaimed scaff boards. For the extra cost its just worth buying new now. However, like you said, if the customer wants reclaimed, there is nowt you can do. Good work once again Team Pope.

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Thanks Pete, definitely mate, once I have somewhere to store more timber I'll be buying more new to leave to dry out.

[@Saladzingers]

Good job Karl and Karl’s Little Helpers! What temp is your workshop Karl? That wax looks lovely to work with... my Briwax usually too stiff to brush on so nicely 🤔

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Hi mate cheers, you should check out my favourite finishes video I talk about it in that. Basically we keep our brushes in white spirits and this helps everything run silky smooth 😊 just be careful not to knock the cup over😂

[@richarddodd9770]

A simple build that looks great. Just shows you don’t need fancy joinery and really expense tools / machines to make a good piece of furniture. I have the same mitre saw as you and no matter what I do I struggle to get it to cut square, any guidance would be appreciated?

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Hi Richard this is actually an upcoming video of mine, how to service your miter saw😊

[@danhames1852]

Hi Karl where can u get reclaimed/new scaffolding boards from? Great video as usual.

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Hi Dan I find Facebook market place the best bet. If that fails call your local scaf company they will happily sell you old boards that are no longer fit for purpose.

[@danhames1852]

Thanks for that. Looking at building a table. Need to find some clamps to buy

Fabulous, exactly what we’re looking for to fit out our entrance hall. Could I ask what brand dark oak wax you used and would this also work for outdoor wooden furniture I’m making?

Hi Jeremy, I use jakoben dark oak link below amzn.to/36oPaww All my tools and consumables can be found on my website Karlpopewoodcraft.com 😊 I don't think the wax would be suitable for out door furniture unless it was brought inside between uses. Hope this helps 😊

Another great build and good timing as well as I’m in need of something similar! Reclaimed pallet/scaffold projects are the pain of my life when making things, you know when you miss taking a nail out and run it through the table saw! I try encourage customers to buy new boards instead now as they’re pretty cheap. Win some lose some!

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Hi Jamie my only concern is that the moisture content is generally very high in new scaffold boards and the reclaimed ones are much lower in my experience. Cheers mate
