OzzyOcker Workbench - Full WOODWORKING Build

My OzzyOcker woodworking workbench is finally complete. Equipped with a non-racking HNT Gordon front vice and a HNT Gordon tail vice, I think this bench will outlast me tens time over.

+4354 . Hello my new friend. This is a great workbench. nice job. I saw that we had something in common and I came to your channel. It's nice to create and share a variety of ideas to help many people. Congratulations. I want to see you on my channel. Thank you for sharing. See you in our new projects. Great greetings.

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Thanks 👍

[@Gumbootsnail]

This has been an absolute pleasure to watch kuffy! Each cut, join and fit are precise and I'm sure it'll inspire many others to imitate. Love ya work bloke

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Thanks mate. I am quietly relieved that my joinery was pretty good where it needed to be.

[@farmcat3198]

I got started on mine today. It may be a little beyond my skill level with the angles, but I'll give it my best shot. My original plan was to build a Roubo, but I ran into too many technical issues and interferences with vise hardware and dog holes. I bought your plans for this, redrew them in Sketchup, and found that the interference and clearance troubles were resolved. This will certainly be a skill builder and learning experience!

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Awesome, thanks for picking up a set of plans. Let me know if you have any trouble. Once you get your head around the splayed legs, everything will fall into place nicely.

[@TakamiWoodshop]

It's a beauty for sure mate. I'd rate it 4.8/5 bacons! 🥓🥓🥓🥓👆🏼🎱

[@kuffyswoodwork]

4.8 bacon's. Just a light brekky for an Ocker!😂👍👊💪

[@LC-im3ps]

Far out bloke. This is an absolute winner of a build. Bench videos out there with millions of views that don't even come close to this. Subbed.

[@kuffyswoodwork]

I was hoping this bench build would have been one of the videos to get millions of views. I missed by a few zero's 🤣 I have another bench build coming soon. Thanks for watching and subscribing 👍

[@joshc7200]

Hey, i'm in Geelong. Where did your source the Oak for this bench?

[@kuffyswoodwork]

The Tassie Oak that I have used for my workbenches came from my workplace. They were old structural beams that had been left to rot in the garden for a decade. They had no value at work, but after I did a tonne of machining and gluing, I was able to piece together pretty good benchtops.

[@bobdickweed]

I still dont know why you sister need vises in her new kitchen island, but Australian cooking may have moved on in the last 10 years...i hope she likes it..What are you building for her next ?

[@kuffyswoodwork]

The tail vice is needed to hold an onion in place so she can slice n dice it. And how else could anyone crush garlic without a face vice? She wants me to refinish her dining table, I'm not too keen on that idea 😂🤣

[@KostasAnnikasDeftereos]

Hey brother ! This working bench is amazing ! Is the only tool that I love to have but I dont have space ! Thanks for sharing brother!!

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Thanks! I was worried that this bench wouldn't fit in my workshop. It actually does fit, though I will need to shift it to the side for some processes occasionally.

[@FixitFingers]

Masterful. Just finishing off the Cot build, will be up the full instalment of this in no time and I can't wait. I don't think I have sufficient ass-clamp (or skill, tools, time or space... or skills.) to make this sorta thing yet but it is firmly added to the dream project list. Absolutely brilliant mate.

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Don't sell yourself short. An ass-clamp is only a few dozen donuts away 😂🤣

[@samoanSAIYAN]

Awesome stuff mate. Full time wood worker? What's the time frame on a project like that? 👍

[@kuffyswoodwork]

I don't do this sort of thing full time anymore, mostly I just mess around on KZbin now. In an equipped shop, without distractions associated with filming, the bench would take 3-4 days to build. But those aren't full work days as there is a bit of time waiting for glue to dry

[@samoanSAIYAN]

@@kuffyswoodwork thnks bud! Quality work!

[@yriykrugluy7428]

Отличный результат! Понравилось👍

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Большое спасибо!

[@tooljunkie555]

Very nice! Like the green deadman! Adds character and you'll NEVER miss it..lol

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Haha, thanks Joe. I couldn't resist staining it. I had planned to stain the entire top but decided against it because it will look like a mess if I need to flatten the top later.

[@cobberpete1]

Very relaxing to watch the edited version. A very nice Bench. I made my first 'Proper' bench five years ago after donkeys using just a 8 X 4 ply on a frame. Very glad I did. Same feeling you had. Of course it is pretty knocked about now but still love it. I was building A Roubo at the same time you were building your 'Ocker' . Work got in the way, and it is only just finished this week ( I made it for sale). Hopefully I can get a buyer in these troubled times, otherwise it takes up a lot of real estate. Waiting for your next project :)

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Hopefully you can find a buyer for your Roubo. I think you will.

[@stevecollins9450]

Very professional type video, Kuffy. Music selection was excellent. Are you staying out of trouble? :>)

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Thanks mate. I always stay out of trouble, or I don't realise I'm in trouble. Same/same 😂🤣

[@AtticusDraco]

1st time viewer One can tell, just viewing through the vid, that is 1 rock solid bench! Congrats & good job! :)

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Thanks. Yeah, it's pretty solid. Though isn't so heavy that I can't pick up one end to shift it around my workshop for the times that I need extra floor space.

[@yuggitaraboulsi]

Perfect size for my first build and first workbench. Will get those plans. It would be good if you do a segment for first timers on essential tools for beginners

[@kuffyswoodwork]

I reckon it's a good sized bench for joinery work. Perhaps a little too narrow for assembly work, but there is always plenty of floor space available for that. I will do a video about essential tools and machinery for beginners. I'll try and get that video done before the end of the year 2020.

[@tonywillis6809]

Fantastic video Kuffy! Not only are you the ultimate woodworker, you now have the videography down pat too!

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Cheers Tony. It actually took me 6 weeks to edit this video. In the end, I sat down and wrote myself a plan and just did it. After 6 weeks of trying without a plan, it took me just one day to edit from scratch yesterday using a plan!🤦‍♂️

[@garyjohnson1002]

Great work, if you can keep up the videos because I think you are the the most informative and entertaining woodworker on You Tube.

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Thanks Gary. I will continue with the videos. I find it adds an interesting element to building something because I have to think about things from all sorts of angles other than what I can see right in front of my face.

[@flamingunz4594]

Awesome bench, love the recap video. Just bought an old one of Gumtree so I have something to build my own. What timber did you use, looks lovely?

[@kuffyswoodwork]

The timber is F17 structural hardwood beams (Tasmanian Oak/Victorian Ash).

[@steven_vogt]

terrific 👋👋👋

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Thanks Steven

[@jbb5470]

Outstanding bench build and video! Really like the style and detail that you have included.

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Thanks mate. I'm lovin this bench, should have built it 20 years ago! doh! 😂

[@sumosprojects]

Hey mate, I thought you might of left the country as I’ve not heard from ya for ages. The Ocker is a masterpiece & you crafted it perfectly, hope you’re well 👍

[@kuffyswoodwork]

I've been around. Not doing very much at the moment tbh. The pandemic has captured my interest and I find it consuming all of my free time. Gotta get back in the shed and start doing stuff again!

[@sumosprojects]

Kuffys Woodwork Gardening is good fun mate, I’m putting in new veggie garden as another hobby & it gives you peace looking at the end result, stay well & keep making stuff 👍👍👍👍

[@gareths100]

Great bench you've built, I hope I get my joints as tight and clean as you do 👍👍

[@kuffyswoodwork]

It took me a bit of time and a lot of fussing to get them right. It's one of those things where it is OK to be too tight, but when it becomes too loose you have to start again! 😮

[@jimwarmington3933]

Nice work.

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Thanks Jim. 👍

[@tonyfrankcom7524]

Great video great build keep you and your family safe in these trying times.

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Thanks mate, stay safe 👍

[@jasongullickson8858]

Looks awesome kuffy, top quality workmanship

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Thanks Jason 👍

[@robjohnston8083]

Fantastic Kuffy, a family heirloom for sure.

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Yeah I hope so. Hopefully it will see plenty of work done for many generations.

[@kuffyswoodwork]

@@ohasis8331 Nah, it'll end up as a kitchen island. They are all the rage now :D

[@bobdickweed]

Your sister want new chairs to go with her new table...get to work mate

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Lol. I lucked out. She recently picked up a used dining table and a set of chairs to go with it for free. She did ask me to sand and refinish the dining table though, I just laughed as I ran away 😂😂😂
