I'm in no hurry! I would rather watch a craftman work than watch any TV show.👍

[@ils360]

I fully agree

[@DudeThat251]

Amen! watching these videos I feel like i'm just hanging out with a buddy kinda

[@r1ot1ng247]

he's genuine as can be

[@svenstenberg2124]

Absolutely. There's a reason I cancelled my cable subscription years ago and now almost exclusively watch quality content-creators like this. This has a true sense of purpose to it (the same cannot be said of most TV shows).

[@johnmontague69]

There's a reason I don't watch TV anymore. Not even the News. It is all bs Thus is real honest hard working people doing real stuff without the trying to pull the wool over our eyes. Cody has 13 years of video's. Go binge watch them and do Catchup. You'll soon fling your cable TV in the bin.

[@atilliar]

Thanks @Wranglerstar I have been building this workbench! I had never used a circular saw or table saw. Because of watching your videos, I was able to learn and get it done! The only difference is that I used clamps instead of the allthread. Thanks so much! I'm proud of what I was able to build using your videos as a guide.

[@santiagojrmorales8305]

My grandad used to say “bring it back the same way cause that’s the only one I have and I don’t have money to buy a new one or another one.” I’m so glad I listened to one of his many advices. I have 3 of his bench vises. They out lasted him but every time I use one I’m always thinking of him. I got one that I remember playing with since I was about 6-7 years old and I’m 35 now... Love the stories you tell of your grandad, hope you can enjoy this little one of mine. God bless!

[@evvlb2]

Total agree with you if you borrow it it comes back better then new. If it has a motor and oil look black change it. Full tank of gas. And my rule is if I have to borrow it twice then maybe I should own that tool. If practical that is.

[@kgriff087]

"From the tall mountain" is your last name? Groetjes uit Amerika.

[@brotherlove100]

IN my trade i apply the same pholisophy. The tool goes back cleaned, oiled and ON the box, not in it so I am not rooting through their stuff. It's not your box, stay out of it. AND, if I borrow three times, I buy it. Because it also courteous to not have to go bakc a dozen times to keep using their tool. That's taking advantage of their generosity.

[@tonyhern2647]

My uncle used to say. If you have to barrow more then 3 times a year . you need one of your own.

[@ComfortablyNumb1969]

If you're going to change someone else's oil, it would also be a good idea to use what they use. You changed my oil that only had 2000 miles on it, with kendal? Great, now I have to go change it again...get it back to Mobil 1 and a Wix XP filter.

[@evvlb2]

CNumb1969 well that goes with out saying. You don’t just put some cheep stuff in. Doesn’t take much to ask the person.

[@alanrouse8301]

Love the videos no matter how long or short they are. Every time you mention "the guys on the East Coast" I have to smile. I was born on the East Coast, but I got to the West Coast as fast as I could. Two weeks!! I was raised in California up by the Oregon border. Then Uncle Sam took me to Texas, and I messed up and married a Texan so here I am. God has been good to me so I can't complain. I keep you and your family in my prayers. Thanks for doing these videos.

[@juskuz111]

I love the silent segments in between your dialogue. It's like ASMR!

[@JakeEllison94]

You hit the nail on the head when it comes to borrowing things from others, Cody! I’d also say that if you need to borrow a tool twice from someone, it’s time to purchase that tool for yourself. That’s how it was when I was a diesel mechanic and it’s always good to be more self reliant anyhow. Thanks for the great content.

[@HanjKisen]

I thank you for bringing some calm, non-stressed wibes to a otherwise busy day

[@ponderoosas5484]

I have been following you for about a year now, and i jjst love your content, no nonsense, just straight forward and honest videos. I agree with so many things that you say, you feel like a second dad to me! Love how you always being so honest, really respect you for that, no one is perfect, we learn by doing and by our mistakes, thats just life. Keep these videos coming and we will keep supporting you and your family! Love and respect from Finland!

[@ponderoosas5484]

Oh and those people nagging on you being to slow or making mistakes, just ignore them, i like when its taking you 5 videos to glue some 2×4s together. It not always about the work you do its also a big thing when you tell stories or really get down to details with stuff, it takes time and thats how it should be! There will always be haters and "i could do so much better" guys but its just empty words. None of them is sacrificing so much time and effort as you do making these videos! They have no clue how much working hours is spent to create what you do, so i say f*** them!

[@dogbugler]

Say hey Wranglerstar. I cannot begin to thank you enough for such exsquisite detail you go through in making your projects so beautiful and detailed. You have given me a great deal of inspiration from this most recent project. I will attempt to make myself a workbench similar to yours. I have been blessed from one of my brothers whom is truley the most gifted with his hands and eyes. I have worked with him and learned how to use the great tools I have. Can't wait to get started. BTW, you hit it out the park by suggesting folks to clean up borrowed tools. I have loaned out a chainsaw and lawn tractor...costs me hundreds to fix or replace them. Stay Safe, Bee Well. Regards, Doug, N.Tx.

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

I remember when you built your woodworking bench, the EXACT same complaints were made. I remember making a comment then and it still applies today. To do it right, It takes several days to build something like this. If you want daily videos then you are only going to get to see what was done that day! Great job Wranglerstar! I wish i could do this style of video on my channel and show just what I do each day, but I struggle with my editing and usually end up doing a recap type video.

[@joolwing]

might look better with a Kitchen Aid mixer on it than a bench grinder. very handsome bench.

[@anthonydtobias]

🤣 east coast guy here (Maine). I really enjoyed your woodworking shop build. I often watch them too just relax. I enjoy the longer process and the thoughts behind it. I am hoping for more woodworking projects in the future. Anyone who had ever done any woodworking knows it always takes 5 times longer than most people think...because in woodworking, nothing is quick.

I'm from NJ...I can't stand the impatience of people from this area. I'm loving the pace of this series. I built a bench very similar to this about 3 years ago, and I think this series demonstrates how tough a build like this can be. Totally worth it. A fellow woodworker saw it and said my grandkids would be using it some day.

As someone who watches your videos to learn, I’m always pleased by your slow and steady-methodical is a good word-pace and approach to the work. This isn’t a lego set, and if you haven’t been through it a dozen times, building something like this beautiful bench is a task with steps that you wouldn’t know you didn’t know if you hadn’t seen them done well and at a pace where you can see each part of the work clearly.

[@bigfootfarmer]

Having a nice and solid workbench is the key to a great workshop.

[@MadAsKiwi]

This is the third workbench build I have watched of yours, and I not only enjoy them, I prefer the 10-15min sessions. You take the time to show how it is done rather than giving a brief description in what usually turns out to be a sales pitch for plans. Thanks for taking the time to show us this, Cody. Jack will enjoy this bench a lot in his own shop

I loved your advice about returning a borrowed tool in better condition than when you got it. My father taught me the same lesson. I remember a neighbor borrowed another neighbor's lawn mower that had a brand new blade and returned it with an empty tank after a long time after having ruined the blade. My dad taught me then the lesson and suggested it should have been returned with a sharpened blade and a full tank of fuel.

I especially loved your advice on giving back tools in better shape. I’ve always done that and always will and I wish everyone around the world could gear that advice. It doesn’t matter if you used a shovel or a power tool, clean it and fix/replace it if it broke while you were using it.

[@chrisgraham2904]

I was always taught and practiced the process of sealing all finished wood products on all sides to prevent warping. This prevents a variation of moisture levels on opposite sides of the board as it continues to breath and move. Even more advisable when building from softwood lumber. Your caution on the end-grain is a good one. Since your building an aireloom that may still be serving it's purpose a hundred years from now, sealing the underside of the bench would be good insurance.

[@BroMorris0341]
