Woodworking: Making Fisher's Ultimate Workbench

[@jimgam730]

You didn't just build a workbench, you built a piece of furniture. Looks amazing! Love the outtakes.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks!

[@BruceAUlrich]

"I turned a Phillips screw into a flat screw, and it solved the problem. Remember that..." ha ha, such a good quote!

Stop encouraging him! 😉

[@bamsebrumbamsebrumen5403]

He made realised how to make those screws usable...😇

[@BruceAUlrich]

[@BruceAUlrich]

@@bamsebrumbamsebrumen5403 I think it’s so funny

[@reddir2]

"The last thing this world needs is an other epoxy rivertable " so true!

[@michaelholopainen2822]

That is brilliant design, I am going to steal that idea of support for the extensions with casters. I really love how support leg and itäs frame is placed between the table legs, so when closed it it does not protrude out of the table frame.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Michael!

[@ryanmac5459]

I appreciate the outtakes. Shows humility and that you are in fact human! :) Well done, sir!!

[@FishersShop]

Glad you liked it, Thanks Ryan

[@davidmeyer9204]

I am not a hater. I love your integration of flathead screws. I look forward to trying to find where you use them. Oh crap. I should have mentioned that the Bench and Video was awesome too! Thanks Drew!

[@kyle19421]

Wow when you finished the workbench my initial thought was "Nice, looks like a sturdy, simple, effective workbench without too many bells and whistles", and after you explained how to use it I understood that it wasn't missing features, it just accomplished the same things even more simply

[@FishersShop]

Thanks 👍

[@keithjones3518]

I don’t mind flatheads… in videos… when I’m not using them. 😂 Beautiful bench. Love the Danish Oil!

[@FishersShop]

Hah

[@allthegear-noidea1264]

Beautiful work Drew! It’s “only” shop furniture, but I find it makes such a difference to work in an environment with beautiful things around you. It inspires you to make great things with it! Can’t wait to see the rest!

[@FishersShop]

Exactly my thinking too

[@nabicht]

I'm not in need of a new workbench... but do I ever want to build one now! Darn you Drew. DARN YOU!

[@FishersShop]

Haha, go for it!

[@nabicht]

@@FishersShop I will. But first I need those new bookshelves my wife asked for, and that cutting board my wife asked for, and to redo the deck like my wife asked me to, and a new bed for my son that he asked my wife for and she asked me. Hhmmmm.... I'm sensing a trend here. I need to figure out how to get her to ask me for a new workbench

[@sdavis9308]

I love the video and the flat head screw but don't forget the outtakes please make more soon

[@ochyooy9935]

Precise work, good jigs (You make it look deceptively easy), and then actually well placed, non-cheesy jokes. Picked up a few ideas, had a few real laughs. I mean - good times :D

[@FishersShop]

Thanks 👍 Glad you liked it!

[@TXDeathInvestigator]

Wow! What a great looking and very functional work bench!

[@FishersShop]

Thank you very much!

[@Weirdusername01]

What an awesome and versatile bench! I think I'm going to make one to replace my current outfeed/assembly table. I'll do it using material and similar build materials as my Cosman workbench with a layered MDF top and Baltic birch base.

[@FishersShop]

Sure, that'd work

[@kimtyson7908]

Flathead screw for the win! Your videos are so entertaining. I want this bench.

[@FishersShop]

Glad you like'em! Thanks for watching

[@danielbrierly9078]

great design and spectacular look! a piece that would do well out of the shop as well as intended.

[@FishersShop]

Thank you very much!

[@mghtymous21]

Heirloom quality. Absolutely beautiful!

[@FishersShop]

Thank you kindly!

[@paulwaldrop]

Love your channel. Your humor and craftsmanship are first class. And love the "flathead" screw in everything. Puts a bit of history in each build.

[@FishersShop]

That's right! Thanks, Paul

[@shanewarren9872]

Great build Drew!! Super Awesome workbench!! Love the walnut!! Definitely necessary!! 👍🙌

[@FishersShop]

Thanks! 👍

[@andrewbrown8148]

Wicked looking bench, Drew~! Might have to add one of these to my shop. Love the versatility~!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks! Glad you liked it

[@Paul_Lane]

Looks really nice. Like the power outlet.

[@qapla]

Drew, builds like this is exactly why I keep coming back to your channel. Not only are you fun to watch, but your builds are also well thought out, designed to do the job they are meant for while still looking nice and buildable by others with only a limited amount of shop tools. Keep up the good work. I plan to build one of your flip-carts for a couple of my tools.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks! That's exactly what I'm going for with my designs

[@navarroedwards8031]

I can’t really express how much I love and appreciate this video. You hit the ball out of the park with this workbench. Thank You very much.

[@FishersShop]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@davebender8901]

I just love watching your videos. Can't help but laugh and enjoy your skills as well!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Dave

[@williamellis8993]

I couldn't make it to the premiere but since it's a Fisher's Shop video, I HAD to watch it later. Great job and a really nice bench. Bill

[@FishersShop]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks, Bill

[@Lutzboater]

Best looking work bench on You Tube. You're lucky to have such a giving neighbor. Well done.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks 👍

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

Love this project! Wouldn't be a Fisher project without a flatbread 😁 Love this too. "...because I'm fancy like that." LMAO!

[@FishersShop]

Mmmm... flatbread sounds delicious!

[@johnshipps441]

Absolutely beautiful! Nice work. I'm looking to build another workbench/outfeed/assembly table and would love to do a much simpler version of what you did. I'll check out your plans.

[@FishersShop]

Awesome. Have fun!

[@intentionaltom9447]

Beautiful bench! Simple and functional!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks!

[@matthysloedolff]

Well done, Drew! That bench looks really nice. I like the unnecessary walnut usage 👌 Thanks for the video and your fine sense of humour.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks 👍 Glad you enjoyed it

[@matthysloedolff]

@@FishersShop also, if I may be so bold as to say that you are looking good, man. Looks like the Lord of the Rings challenge is paying off its dividends. Keep it up 👍

[@reo3x573]

Thank you Fisher! God bless you.

[@FishersShop]

You are very welcome

[@sammisworkshops3762]

Love the workbench, looks great, I too have "salvaged" a stripped Phillips by cutting a slot and backing it out with a flat screwdriver!, Another use for a dremel tool with a cutoff wheel! LOL; keep the videos coming love em! and the out takes too!

[@FishersShop]

Glad you liked it! :)

[@carolinefreeman4546]

The one time a flat head screw saves the day! It looks beautiful! I love how your home must be filling up with beautiful furniture and accessories. My dad made a lot of our furniture and it added a special feel to our family home, I'm glad your family get the same experience.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Caroline! Yeah, I'm starting to get quite a collection. :)

[@W4TRI]

Bought these plans and the under cabinet as well today. Now to just wait for my neighbors to go away so I can move their upright piano collection over here and do this in Mahogany!

[@FishersShop]

Have fun with the build!

[@dallasgearsgodpettman1941]

Love the shade at epoxy tables!!!

[@turpskadey]

I LOVE the looks of those contrasting color plugs. Really makes it pop.

[@FishersShop]

Right? I love it too

[@StuartGeers]

Best use of walnut I've seen aside from firewood; shop furniture. 🔥

[@StuartGeers]

And the use of superiors maple for function and decoration is superb.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks! Glad you liked it

[@fcschoenthal]

Like usual, you've come up with a great design for both form and function. Can't wait to see your planned upgrades. - Chris

Haha! A subtle Muz Shop shout-out

G’day Drew, you’re one of my favourite woodworking KZbin channels primarily because of the nice videography & projects you turn out mate plus the wicked sense of humour. Glad we didn’t see your legs at the swimming pool 😮😁😁😁👍👍👍

[@FishersShop]

Everyone should be glad for that. :)

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Much better than a river table. Nice work

[@FishersShop]

Haha, Thanks Peter👍

Amazing built.Hope your neighbour gets a break in 2023🤣🤣🤣🤣.Everything of the best for 2023.

Oh he'll get "broken" into... for sure.

[@lintelle2382]

I couldn't agree more with your assessment of river tables! Wood looks plenty beautiful all by itself!

This is very well executed Drew. This might be top five all workbenches ever built on KZbin really well done man always good when I drew Fisher video comes out. Take care man.

As usual, great build Drew! Love your use of black walnut, thick bench top, and of course the ever present flathead screws. Nice homage to your granddad.

[@karenbickel1154]

Fisher, I just want to say I love your videos. Most of all, you haven't gone to the dark side of tool reviewing and tool pushing. I have started letting some of my other channels go because that has become their main focus. It's sad. Please keep making videos about actually woodworking. I learn something new from most of them and I love your humor. Thanks.

[@FishersShop]

Thanks, Karen! Now go and buy a Bessey clamp! 😉 j/k

Your opulence with the wood choices is matched only by your skill with the jump cut! I was really impressed with the cuts while chiselling out the first set of hinges. It was so satisfying. Have a Merry Christmas, Drew, and happy holidays, everyone!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks! :)

[@mikedurkee7296]

@9:00 I recognize this laugh as the standard "damn I'm good" chuckle we all make when we are pleased with ourselves.

And I have to echo what others have said. This is a gorgeous bench with some very thoughtful functionality. If your goal was with this video was to inspire, mission accomplished.
