Took your advice Andy and decided to watch your series on benchwork!

[@AndyDorsch]

Let me know if you have any questions.

[@Toddgillilandfan]

Your floor looks even to me lol Great video

[@RonsTrainsNThings]

Hey Andy. Looking Good. I seriously have to invest in that pocket tool jig. Thanks for the demonstration and link.

[@AndyDorsch]

Hey Ron. Thanks! The Kreg Jig has CHANGED MY LIFE. I use it for everything! Cabinets (which you'll see in part 2) Face frames, model railroad benchwork and other things I've done in woodworking.

[@peter_borcherds]

Great video, Andy!

[@AndyDorsch]

Thanks Peter!

[@AndyEggenberger]

Hello Very clean work. Keep it up, looking forward to your next video. Greetings Andy Switzerland

[@AndyDorsch]

Hello Andy! Thank you for the kind words! I still am learning about woodworking, but I am trying to do things well now so I don't have issues later! Cheers - Andy

Looks like the Norm Abrams of Model Railroading to me! (Very fine!)

[@AndyDorsch]

LOL! Norm Abrams...Hi I'm Andy Dorsch of the New "Northwestern" Workshop (New Yankee Workshop)...just doesn't have the same ring! Thanks for the comment Nick and thanks for watching!

[@AndyDorsch]

[@Palanthon]

The Pocket Screw Jig is one of the best tools I own.

[@AndyDorsch]

[@davestrains6816]

[@AndyDorsch]

thank you for detail video

[@AndyDorsch]

You're welcome!

[@stewarttrains98]

Looking forward to seeing this come to completion

[@HumancityJunction]

It looks like I need to get you to build my benchwork!

[@RailserveJohn]

Looks great Andy. I’m really enjoying all of these tips as I’ll be trying this style benchwork. Looking forward to the cabinets you’ll be building. I love when a layout is built to a furniture quality. It really makes the train room an inviting and comfortable area. All the best, John

[@AndyDorsch]

Thanks John! I'm hoping that this layout will be the best one I've built to date. I know the progress is slow, but I'm hoping the results are worth the effort/wait.

[@conrailhbgline]

100% on the Kreg Jig for use in model railroad benchwork. I am surprised that you didn't use pocket holes for attaching the sub roadbed in case you had to adjust later.

[@jeffreymcconnell6794]

Great video, Andy! Thanks so much for sharing it. What is the dimension of the lumber you used for the top of the shadow box? I’m getting ready to build an N scale 12’x3’ switching layout and want the shadow box style bench work.

[@AndyDorsch]

Jeffrey I used 1x2 for the super structure of the shadowbox.

[@jeffreymcconnell6794]

@@AndyDorsch Thanks so much!

[@AndyDorsch]

You bet! Thanks for tuning in! If you want to see part 2 where I do cabinets and back drops, check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4S5fIaPpb-Xa8k

[@mhbpodnk]

Nice job looks good and I’m starting to think the construction materials are gonna cost more than the trains them selves

[@AndyDorsch]

We have this place called "Restore" here in Wisconsin. It is a good place to find second hand building supplies.

[@AndyDorsch]

Building materials in general have gone up dramatically in price over the past year. However there are things you can do to keep costs down! Ridin' High has some good suggestions!
