The Best Workbench Is Built Around You

[@biffwellington823]

Very nicely done. Nice to watch someone think on the fly. Best line: "I used to be 20 years old, and sometimes I still think I am." Love it!

My wife and I love your channel. We know that you are not a woodworker who is a Dad. You are a great Dad that does woodworking. Thank you.

Thank you! You're exactly right.

Thanks! I think the relationship girls have with their dads shape more than we realize!

[@jimburow706]

Loved it! There are some pretty nifty workbenches out there but you’re right! The one you build should suit your needs. Well done.

[@worstworkshop]

Thank you!!

[@blufordbirdsong1834]

very touching scene of you working with your daughters. I built a little boat with my son when he was 7 or 8. The boat was nothing special, we only took it out once, but the memory of doing it with him is something I am sure that we'll both remember for the rest of our live. He's 24 now and I hope some day he'll build something with his kids.

[@worstworkshop]

The things I've built with my kids are my favorite builds ever. They're not special to everyone, but they sure are too us. Thanks for sharing that story!

[@MaddMaxxWoodWorks]

Great build. I like how you talk about all the issues you go through to do this build. Thank you

[@worstworkshop]

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@ST-0311]

This channel is always so much fun to watch. Love the girls being involved. We raised two, so I know how it is. I've been remodeling our entire house for the last 3 years, including a new roof. I'm dying to turn my attention to my workshop, but don't have time yet. I've watched a lot videos on benches to get ideas on how I want to build it. Not one of the great workshops came up with the brilliant idea the worst workshop did. Making an extending apron from an old garage door track is freaking ingenious!

[@worstworkshop]

Thanks! It still works as an apron too. Doesn't even budge.

[@DarioDiGiovanni-x4r]

I've seen a few of your videos and I am quite jealous about you, it's fantastic to see that your two daughters are interested in spending time with you, well done! I hope I will achieve the same with my son when he becomes a bit older.

[@worstworkshop]

Me too. You'll find him to be a great investment for your time and strength.

[@vanislestudio]

Well that was entertaining as all heck my friend! From that router sled you just threw together, your cool drum sander, awesome choice of music at 15:40 and especially you working with your daughters making those forever memories. Looking forward to more of your channel and your whimsical spirit! Way to go!

[@worstworkshop]

Well, thanks. It's honestly a crime that it has more views than your does though. My jaw was on the floor through the whole thing.

[@nadrojenyaw]

You are one of my KZbin faves. I have two daughters as well, strikingly similar to yours. I joke with them like you joke with yours, and drag them into my projects every now and then. Thanks for keeping it real. Your common sense approach to problem solving is inspiring.

[@worstworkshop]

Thank you! And keep at it.

[@bluepeakwoodworks]

Love the extending apron idea. Even more, I love your comments about time with your daughters. So true. People talk about quality time vs quantity time but it's the quantity time that leads to the quality times. I have memories about working with my sons. They're grown now and tell me about significant moments that they remember that I either didn't make note of myself or have forgotten. Good job, Dad!

[@worstworkshop]

That's good to hear. I love being a dad. It's the best thing ever.

Love the way you made the workbench to suit your personal needs instead of conforming to "rules". I am quite tall so my workbench looks crazy to most people. Also great to see you sharing the work with your family.

[@worstworkshop]

Thank you! The "rules" are important to know and understand, but beyond that, it's about your style of woodworking.

[@darkinertia2]

after watching many corkniffing woodworking youtubers with all the fancy woodpeckers and festool toys while they press buttons on a cnc half the time, its great to see theres actually a few channels that actually show the blue collar woodworker struggles. that being said, i wont get too made once your channel blows up and you get all those fancy tools lol

Thanks a lot!

[@Nverinder716]

I sketched up some plans for a workbench of my own that combines some elements of a few different types of well estalished bench designs, and I was pretty proud of it. I even reached out to a realtively well known wood worker on here for their thoughts, where I was met with "nice try, but don't mess around with the classics." This video is all I needed to realize that there isn't one person out there who has all the answers and that my bench is going to come out great. Well done, man!

[@worstworkshop]

Thanks! Remember, Rule #1 is that it's your workbench.

[@captainahab5650]

Sad to see this comment . Don't let them discourage you. Like @worstworkshop said, It's yours. I personally hate traditional workbenches. The one in my shop sits covered in tools because I only ever use its vise. My workbenches are 2x material and plywood. and part of why I like them and build them is that I have no problem driving a screw into the top, or drilling a few holes to jig things up. Make it your way and you'll use it.

[@jascogoods]

Great workbench, thanks for the video. I have been wanting to build a new bench top with dog holes for a while now. Watched a bunch of other videos and everyone makes it seem like you have to be so precise and use expensive templates and jigs. It was great to see you did it with a homemade jig and weren’t worried about being that precise.

[@worstworkshop]

Thanks! I just ran into your video yesterday with the stanchion...thing? Great work! I love your sense of humor.

[@c.a.g.1977]

Awesome workbench you guys made here! Great video, and your voice-over/story telling is just great, so nice to listen to. 16:00 this is such a clever idea! I made the Paul Sellers Plywood workbench for my shop, but in the future I might transform it into something similar to yours!

[@worstworkshop]

Thanks! The Paul Sellers bench is a great design. I studied it (and a bazillion others) when I was preparing to build this.

[@c.a.g.1977]

@@worstworkshop Ow yes, I did the same. Was also very interested in the Roubo, even contemplated buying a Sjöbergs. After all I went for what I could make myself the easiest way. The joinery on the plywood bench is really very clever and simple, yet sturdy as heck.

[@markhayes9004]

Another great video! I was really happy to see your co-stars come out to help. I've been needing to build a work bench for my shop for quite a while now, but I keep putting it off, okay procrastinating doing it. I keep telling myself that I need to build a new miter saw station, especially one that doesn't have 5 different saws (ranging from chop saws to radial arm saws, and finally a real miter saw) in the middle of the way and actually has a recess that fits my good miter saw. I also need to build an outfeed table for the table saw. Anyway, you gave me some great ideas, and I really appreciate your innovation and ability to think outside the box to make things work. I hope everything is wonderful with you and your family. Please take care and have an amazing week.

[@worstworkshop]

Everything is great, Mark. Thank you, and all the best on your build.

[@TheEveryMaker]

First time seeing your channel. Great work! I love the bend. Your daughters are adorable and the look of satisfaction of your daughter when you got the top on the bench and she jumped up, priceless.

Excellent job, you will remember that day with Princess every time you have a moment of reflection and will smile every time a bit of frustration sets in. I’m planning to do something similar sans “tool well” but need it to breakdown because I’ll mostly be working outside or is a quonset hut style shelter. Really like your vice solution and and saved the video just for that tip when I build mine.

The best part of this project is the memories you and your daughters will always cherish. I have pictures of my son pounding on 10 inch stakes on a retaining wall "we" built when he was 3. The extra time that my helper cost me were well worth the memories we both have of working on it together.

My little lady I recently took on a garden shed build & some "landscaping. I had a yard of limestone tailings that we wanted to place our walkway in front of the shed on. My grandson who is almost 5 wanted to help Poppa. As it happened we had recently stopped @ Princess Auto (Canadian version of Harbor Freight) & picked up a shovel the "fit" him. He was happy as all get shoveling the tailings out of the back of my pickup. Yes it took longer to get done, but the pride on his face because he was able to help Nana & Poppa was worth it. He was even paid for helping 😁

And yes I was also 20 years old once same lol, planers not tall enough , I use the bottom rail as a foot rest, working with the things I build , I stopped a long time ago finding faults which probably I could only see , am not a wood craftsmen, people say that's amazing whether it be or not I agree doesn't matter , I built it and spent time in my workshop creating the end result, that end result I learnt from and more than happy with the finished thingy what other think of it problem belongem they. @ 14:11 its a cord classis indeed. Nice build I live remote rural off grid here lucky I have not the largest workshop but enough room for everything can swing a cat in it , not that I would but I digress have been told I do so, will share a story was in my workshop one morning and I felt a bump against my butt , turned 2 look and it was one of the kangaroos from the local pod that had come in through the door mooching for food as they do. Don't know why I added that but yes if one can have that type of trust given with a wild animal must be doing something right me thinks. May I add the old fella was on his last legs and chose to come 2 the workshop and lie down and pass knew he was safe there , I had animal welfare come an euthanize him , guess that was self disclosure can see the same thing in you , good people like you and your family are getting harder 2 find.

I loved how you used the router to flatten one side of the tabletop, what kind of bit did you use? On a side note, very few woodworking videos can get me to laugh multiple times while I watch them, and so far they've all been yours. Keep the dad jokes coming.

Thanks! For the router rails, I just used a regular old straight bit. I'm sure there are better bits for a job like that, but (as always) it was what I had.

@@worstworkshop There are router bits specifically for that. Woodpeckers has one, but since it's Woodpeckers it has a $$$ price tag.

Thanks! It's always stressful putting a video out for people to see.

Your videos are a joy. Though not as quotable as "The Princess Bride" or "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" several of your comments made me laugh. Now I'll just have to rewatch so I can remember them 🙂

Thank you, Mike! Glad you enjoyed it.
