What Finish On A Wood Working Work Bench

[@Critter145]

Woodworker’s Guide to the Galaxy

[@Gobagool]

Excellent

[@Skorpionion]

God the petunias are my absolute favorite part because you have to read all the sequels to understand it but its a continuously referenced joke so you grt to the last book and suddenly all these random encounters and reactions across the whole series suddenly make sense. Such a masterpiece of interwoven long running jokes that series was.

[@wouterengels7769]

Especially funny, considering the different iterations the series has gone through. I'm not sure there had been any intention to bring about that storyline in the original radio play. It does explain a lot about human nature then 😅

[@sfschicago]

"Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now."

[@michaelhenderson4706]

"Not again"

[@DownEastSaw]

Yes, a hitchhikers guide to the galaxy reference. You’ve made my day.

[@maxj9204]

Theres no such thing a spill on a workbench, it's just a surprise finish

[@traillesstravelled7901]

Workbench spills are we find out what products work and play well with each other.

[@tomarmstrong1000]

Mine had a coat of danish oil because there was enough in a can for just that. Recently it got half coat of BLO because that's how much I spilt on it.

[@kenny-anjanettehorn7722]

As someone who has had the pleasure of working at that bench, you feel humbled to be a very small part of that history.

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

You guys are a big part of that history. And you're welcome at my bench anytime. We'd love to have you in the new shop sometime.

[@rawr2u190]

Gosh, there's a certain kind of beauty to a benchtop like that

[@matthewstrauts5427]

What a cool work area. Awesome

[@dandelie2067]

My benchtop is coated with lots of glue here and there. I always claim that sticking to the plan is better than what has happened to my benchtop. All of my hand tools would agree too. Less glue is key.

[@supervegito8340]

Linseed oil is the wd40 of wood oils. Guy who taught me woodworking told me “you put a good coat on next time it gets taken off will be in the hands of a new man.” My mallet I made when I was 13 still has its coat on 12 years later

[@brianbarney1885]

BLO works great on my poplar slab bench because other gunk comes off fairly easily and it’s easy to plane through when I flatten the top every 2-3 years.

[@מעייןהמלבלבתחייםםםם]

You bench character is building up..... mine also although after building it i didn't coat it with finish😮

[@ubbeus]

When you finish your bench, do you start at the end?

[@sheaross3124]

Like a good cast iron never scour it😅

[@killerbunny7206]

I like random oil I also use for salad.

[@warkitty3426]

I never bothered to finish mine. It’s construction lumber, so it’s already impregnated with pine resin.

[@Michael-dq7mz]

Love that! It shows years of hard work. ... sloppy work, but work none the less lol!!😂

[@hassanal-mosawi4235]

Thanks for sharing that!

[@charles1075]

Don't forget your towel

[@am2dan]

I've long admired the patina of your bench. But soon you'll be starting on a new one.

[@grubbs517]

Never underestimate the power of a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster to refresh that top. Or burn straight through it. I forget which. May your towel forever block the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal.

[@grahamclarke3931]

Excellent nerd reference

[@vince55sanders]

All of it

[@sambob998]

"Oh no, not again" the oil filled petunias every time it's spiked.

[@borttorbbq2556]

Why boiled linseed oil. I'm someone who particularly likes food grade finishes for various reasons. Is boiled linseed oil food safe and how good is it finished. Or should I be just going for a lacquer of some kind

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

Food safe? It depends on the company. From the big box store it is not food safe. But made yourself it can be. It is not a film finish like shellac, varnish, or lacquer. It will protect from water spills and most glue adhesion. It also has a bit more friction. That is why it is a common answer for a lot of handles and hand tools.

[@anthonyseiver7000]

WD42 - the universal finish

[@nicm5616]

Does it have to be boiled?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

No. Raw and boiled are functionally the same thing boiled linseed oil just cures in a matter of hours or days whereas raw is weeks to months.

[@nicm5616]

​@@WoodByWrightHowToThanks, I didn't know there was a real difference.

[@John-t1t5v]

Enjoy you videos. For the first time, I noticed an inleted steel plate. It THAT an old patternmaker's vise???

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

On the far end of the plane that is a traditional bench stop. You can pop it up out of the surface by pounding it from underneath. At least I'm guessing that's what you're talking about. The vice along the face by my waist is a pattern Maker's vice. I have videos on installing both of them if you want to see it.

[@John-t1t5v]

@WoodByWrightHowTo No, not the benchstop. The inletted plate, looks 10 or 12" long, & looks hinged, with 2 dogs each on opposing jaws. Looks like a patternmakers vise. I have one on my bench, but haven't seen any others on woodworking videos. My entire shop is built around that gem of engineering! Massive old thing, elevates to 90°, rotates 360°, faced both jaws with 3/4 pine with a vertical "L" shaped cut centered on the bench-side jaw face. Made a long triangular jaw with one side of a hinge inletted into the low apex of the triangle. Bent the other side of the hinge 90°, it forms an "L" in the opposite direction of the "L" in the face of the vise jaw. I can slide the hinge down into that slot & I have a flexible jaw for the vise. Haven't found anything yet (within reason) that I can't hold with that wonderful old tool. I hope I've explained myself well enough for you to picture what I'm saying. Anyway, you Press On with your videos, Sir. They are a TREAT!

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

Yes. That is a pattern. Maker's vise. I've got another one that I'm putting on the new bench I'm working on. I don't use it a lot but every now and then it's just the perfect tool for the job.

[@John-t1t5v]

@WoodByWrightHowTo Thanks, Partner.

[@DomChampagne]

❤ great reference!

[@losbulls1988]

This wild bro

[@mariobarcelon7226]

Battle scars on the table.

[@background0001]

thank you for removing the captions, im now focused on what your doing! :3

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

You can toggle question the captions on and off. I don't put them on there. That's just an option that KZbin provides.

[@paulcernava7091]

I feel like I need my towel

[@wouterengels7769]

Oh no, not again! 😂

[@tummytub1161]

First finish that workbench, before you finish it😂

[@colinmcconnell7118]

CDB - those poor, poor petunias 😢

[@NamakuraHigan]

big ol' paint tub painted over to look like a pot of petunias why not

[@jimhyslop]

Oh, no, not again!

[@KillerSpud]

[@amitthejattboy]

Who finishes on their bench though

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

Most people.

[@BarbaraMiller-q9y]

I bought a few hundred USDT from a friend, and he gave me a string of code e95295df4634a8e08e2a505b89339757ccebc4ea5e87b567140dc9aa09530f83. What does it mean? How do I transfer it to OKX?
