I'm across the pond and I love your channel. Keep it coming, cursing and all! I want to hear real people. Not a scripted show for TV. Not a single new idea on regular TV or cinema!
I've watched the MOAB video a bunch of times just to learn different ways of woodworking. Absolutely love it. Enjoy your day sir!
Cheers Ryan! I appreciate the lovely compliment mate! Hope you had a lovely weekend! 🍻😊🍻
Could not agree more 👍👍😀
Say it loud & proud " we will not eat ze bugz "
Did you see those poor kinds in OZ being fed crisps made from crickets 🤢 fuck that!!!! Saying that I can’t seem to find a decent tasting steak for months now, where ever I shop, it’s like someone turned the flavour off in meat, my friend is a butcher and he says sales have crashed! 😬
Listening to you sing was like a Family Guy skit that just wouldn't end 🤣 Must have been all the fumes 😜 Looks tops as usual Ben. If you want to speak your mind on your channel, don't let anyone stop you. Viewers know what they want to watch and ultimately, CZcams only wants viewers who watch as long as possible
I’ve been wondering if it would be better to make longer vids, over Christmas it was the long 30+ vids of mine being watched.
@@HewAndAwe that does seem to be the trend right now!
you are spot on,crazy days we are living in.
I’ve just been called a white cis male 😂
@@HewAndAwe to bad guys like us dont get our feelings hurt very easy. lol
Around the 7min mark……..
Here here 👏🏼.
Whole heartedly agree.
Great video Mate, I was going to ask about the paint stripper when it flashed up completed… but sending it away was a good call…. That would have taken for ever to strip that back…. I couldn’t stop laughing during the singing!!!!!
I learnt my lesson with the table saw, a huge saving when you think time is money! Thankfully my bro had the job of sanding the blasting down!
Keep it up.
Will do Muddy! I hope you’re well! 🍻😊🍻
Fantastic mate 👍
Thanks Ella! I hope you’re having a nice weekend! 🍻😊🍻
Your contents ace Ben, you don't know what to expect. You definitely know it will be a superb unusual project excellently filmed with a touch of humour. Just like this one. Very nice. Tony
Cheers buddy, I hope you’re well?
Love it!
Cheers Madonna! I’m not gonna lie I’d love that desk, he’s only had it sitting around for 4 years 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Sing it again Ben, I'm starting to feel all moist.
Hilarious cheers man
Hahaha cheers buddy! Hope you had a wicked weekend! 🍻😊🍻
I respect your world views fella. Time for you to move over to rumble brother
I started uploading to rumble like 4 months ago and I’ve had half a dozen views, it’s much more politicly based at the mo so I haven’t carried on.
Off to watch the video, perfectly timed for my cuppa!
Updated:
So I skipped on the cuppa and had some noodles with satay sauce, started singing the birthday cake song with you and then lost it with a giggle 🤭 fit when you started giggling, so after spitting them out with the giggles, I got back to it.
You are soooo fecking right, I subscribe to other channels and with the exception of animal rescue channels I absolutely love your channel.
You're great/brilliant at what you do but it's you that brings the each video on the channel to life!
I will not eat a shit sandwich from anyone, no matter who or how it's dressed up, so I totally see your point of view buddy. I am what I am, if I'm liked then great, if not then I don't give a shit, i don't need or seek anyone's approval. The world's gone nuts with sensitivity, jeez grow a pair. Just be you Ben, continue being awsome !
Oh by the way, great job on the desk!
Oh that’s good to hear, enjoy my friend! I’m off for a beer 😎
Great commentary of what you're tube channel should be.
Cheers Russell, I hope you had a wonderful weekend! 🍻😊🍻
Hang in there doing what you do, new platforms will eventually rise up to take the good DIY trade channels. Maybe twitter 3.0. Agree rumble is only good for politics atm.
I wish he’d pull his finger out, maybe he’s taking care of eliza bleu with those fingers 😂
Please keep making content, you make me laugh out loud 🤣👍
Cheers Warren! I will till they shut me down 😇
Not quite sure if this is the "VO" or the "Music" version of this project 🤣🤣 As for the VO during sanding, feel ya, mate!
Haha cheers Paul, hope you had a nice weekend mate! 🍻😊🍻
you upload on rumble, already? scratch that. followed 👍im here for you being you, homey. its refreshing and much appreciated. keep on keepin on
Yeah, I started putting up my catalog but I’ve had about 5 views the last I looked, uploading takes forever though to rumble 😏
@Hew & Awe (Ben) yeah... you were spot on about where rumble stands in this vid. The more YT plays stupid games, tho, the more non-politicos will pay attention, especially if you keep plugging it 👍
Was there a reason that you couldn't flatten out the desk top.? The filler must have doubled the weight of it lol. Looks fantastic.
Yeah it’s ribbed underneath, yeah for sure its defo twice the weight. I wondered if it would of been cheaper to make new but he didn’t wanna go that way. I’d really like one of these desks now, I’d swap it for my resin desk any day!
When you're censored as much as these advertisers on YT have people, it's not YOUR CZcams channel, you are THEIR channel.
They control the narrative, I’d be surprised if twitter survives cause of governments losing their platform to free speach, there’s an arsehole having accounts shut down here and twitter just cause she doesn’t like them, CZcams don’t check claims made, I’m easily disliked cause I don’t suffer woke twats so I bet someone will come for me one day 😬
@@HewAndAwe see, I'm personally not worried about 'wokeness' because I think it's all elite media owners manufacturing the woke scare to distract us from who we ought to be worried about, which is the elitist classes and how they're buying the government out from under our noses.
Lovely job Ben. Maybe work on the singing though? 😁 Can I ask where did you source the laminate? I'm looking to get some soon but seems tricky to find a supplier who'll sell small quantities. Cheers 👌
Hey buddy, hope you’re having a nice weekend! It’s actually lino, it’s paper backed though, which is fine as long as you don’t wanna take it off or change position. If you’re still interested let me know and I’ll give you the details 👍
Good job
Cheers Darin! 🍻😊🍻
Ben, either I am a very special apprentice or there are 2 Alex Collins's on you patreons list 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s mad, I don’t read very well so I re-read everything a dozen times, even more so with super fans list cause I don’t want to miss anyone but yet I still got it wrong 😂
@@HewAndAwe Gives me more air time 🤣🤣
Fuck them, do as you do. I found you recently and couldn’t have been more happy about it!
Cheers buddy, I hope you had a great weekend! 🍻😊🍻
I haven’t figured out why they even want to control thought. Rumble needs an easier to interact platform. I do like the smell of bondo and contact glue. I used to spray a lot of lacquers. I have nearly blown myself up with that.
Money! It’s a shockingly bad, I’ve had so few views, and don’t even get me started how long it takes to upload! I really was hoping Elon would keep to his word and make twitter a version of CZcams but better, he even said he’d pay creators more, I doubt twitter will make it through the year though. 😏
@@HewAndAwe I am an Elon Musk fan. I think he will fix Twitter but he will start from the ground up on re writing software. I am using the Starlink. I live in an extremely remote area and don’t have good cellular connection. Starlink has me reconnected but it is $100 / month. Worth it where I live.
I think people in the media have always had to be a filtered version of themselves because advertisers are so twitchy. But it feels more personal when it's your creations or things you want to consume being targeted. Regardless that end desk surprised me, the top meaning no one's getting a cold bum ;)
It’s frightening how little people know, what they trust etc, I said to my brother “have you seen the crap they’re doing in Oxford with 15 min cities” he thought I was just chatting conspiracy theories 🤦🏻♂️ Haha yeah thats true!!! She better be light though, 3 days on that bad boy!
@@HewAndAwe The 15 minute city is okay, I guess, if you're playing Sim City... but I'm still going to my favourite butcher across town rather than the shit one near me. ...so rather than driving directly I'll have to drive even further and ruin the emissions even more. Not that I live in Oxford.
Please just be yourself as much as is possible within the constraints of YT and it's bull5h1t policies. We all watch Hew & Awe because of your style, skill and you.
Thank you Alex! Hope you had a lovely weekend!
Could not agree more with the filler mix
What is that about, half a tube for half the contents, that’s not nearly enough! What do they actually mean?
@@HewAndAwe I have no idea other than the fact that they are Tubes themselves 😀
How did you restore the regular metal (non painted portion)?
I thought I said in the vid, the body was sent off for media blasting and then I gunned some clear over it all, was way cheaper than rubbing all that back!
The background music is great! Where did you get it? 🤣
CZcams library 👍
The desk is gorgeous, I would've put a wood top on it- but I cannot argue the laminate. Where in the holy shite did that wallpaper come from?! Please tell me, because I feel like I need that or some similar in my life!
We did discuss that and was my first choice but he wanted to stay relatively OEM. I can’t answer that I’m sorry, I’ve had a massive falling out with my bro and we aren’t talking for me to ask him.
Thank you! TBH, siblings are a royal PITA.@@HewAndAwe
I fucking agree with you.
Cheers Josephine, time for to push back on this woke BS I think!
That desk is ‘kin amazing! Have you got a new workshop? Forgive me if I’ve missed summat
Thanks dude, no I haven’t that’s my brothers workshop, that bench I made him.
Hey I just got a desk identical to this one and I’ve been looking around trying to figure out what the material was that’s used on the desk top. I’d appreciate any info you had! Thanks
Like what would you like to know fella?
@@HewAndAwe the material you used to replace the desk top, it looks like some sort of leather perhaps? What was that called
@@MartinFamilyCNC .. did I not say in the video? Otherwise I’ll have to get back to you, it was some sort of Lino.
@@HewAndAwe I rewatched and didn’t find it. If you end up coming across what you ordered, I would appreciate the info! I appreciate it!
I would prefer to see a proper leather top on that Desk.
No school like the old school eh.
@HewAndAwe Nothing says productivity like a fine smelling yet smooth to the touch work top. Despite my opinions on materials involved. The way you polished and mended that Tanker was very fine. You are a very useful Engine!
I love your channel, largely because of your honesty/attitude/potty mouth etc. It, amongst others, is slowly inspiring me to have a crack at something similar. I have very little idea of what is/isn't allowed (in terms of monetisation) has something recently changed, you mentioned a contract (I assume that's YT T& C's?). If I can't call myself a cunt (at least) I don't know if i'd be arsed.
Yeah there’s a new clause that kinda says if you fuck up you’ll find out in short, they could now take money from your account if they deem you made money using someone else’s content music or the likes, but it’s deeper than just that, there’s one individual having CZcams accounts closed down cause she doesn’t like them, same in twitter - they don’t fact check requests from peeps with an issue they just shut you down! Then look at the Tate brothers and what’s happening to them, I’m a fella that will call a spade a spade, so eventually I’m gonna piss someone off 😬
will there be a music free version on this vid haha
Haha I did think about it but I can’t see how it’d work, I mean I’d would be proper boring!
100%
Cheers buddy! Trust you had a wicked weekend! 🍻😊🍻
damn, does it mean the flapping sound effects on the end of a successful projects will have to disappear as well? this shit starts to be some kind of orwellesque.
love your videos and your skill-set. learning a lot. keep it up!
It’s difficult to know, you may of noticed many CZcamsrs change normal everyday words cause they’re worried their content will be suppressed how deep is this rabbit hole 🤷🏻♂️
The desk looks brilliant and up to your usual high standard. Your right about the censorship of the online world. Jez I've been online since 1995 (I was 11 then) and how it's all changed in that time is mind blowing it was once a space people could be themselves without the interference of government and big business but now it's all about big business making a buck or pound and governments controlling what we do online. God I miss the old days.
Have you gone back and watched programmes like Rainbow, magic roundabout and the likes 😂 they’d never get away with that these days!
@@HewAndAwe ohh shit yeah back then people knew how to take a joke and if you didn't you got told to bugger off
cake LMAO
I’m still cringing over that 😂
🤣
Cheers Graeme! 🍻😊🍻
Hi mate. I didn't realise a censorship thing had come in, twats! I'm glad you're sticking to your guns though, I come here for your unadulterated view on life! Nice desk too!
It’s beyond pathetic, that short I posted last night they told me off cause it’s not advertising friendly, you can see how badly that short is doing because of it 😤
I prefer it with swearing too, it's ridiculous nannying for no reason I can see apart from flexing muscles so we know who's in charge here
as to what's coming, personally I think the nation state has had it, but if we're not to fall into total corporate tyranny we need a UN or similarly non-aligned and not-for-profit international media platform that has much more direct payment for artists and creators, no middle-man distributors sucking the life blood, and I guess funding from an internet tax a bit like the license fee
so probably we're going to fall into total corporate tyranny
"license fee| is a UK non-tax-based fee everyone pays (pretty much) for funding the BBC which is supposed to be again non-aligned and for the good of all (but like all organisations with relationships to maintain is corruptible)
There’s even a section that I have to tick when I upload is this made for kids (no) ✔️ but that’s nothing to do with it, it’s the advertisers calling the shots, they don’t want their ad shown next to a vid with swearing in it 🤦🏻♂️
Keep on being yourself Ben, I support you over here across the pond in the U.S. I absolutely love your work. And good job not falling for all the "woke" $h!t being shoved down our throats.
Thank you Nathan! I’m good at getting into trouble though… 😬 I hope you’re having a wicked weekend mate! 🍻😊🍻
Turned out awesome 👍👍 Definitely agree with you about the censorship. How do we have freedom of speech when other people say "you cant say that because it offends me". They shouldn't be offended, grow a pair. People have been raising their kids to be too soft.
I’m worried for the future, they’re going to use that excuse to control us to china levels! Look at what’s happening in Oxford 😬 currently there one person having over 20 CZcams accounts suspended with false claims, the same person on twitter has had them shut Darien even more accounts, this individual says photos of her that are available to the public aren’t fair use, which is bs and CZcams and twitter don’t look into it they just shut you down, in short all it takes is someone to dislike you and they can cause trouble of epic proportions!
@Hew & Awe (Ben) what a bunch of nonsense, creatively come in all forms and if some person doesn't like it they don't have to watch. Let people create the content they want!!
Couldn't agree with you more about censorship and woke crap.
Even the word woke irritates me 😂 don’t even get me started on cis 😂
Be yourself. OK great. But be interesting, not neurotic.
Neurotic comes with suffering from depression.. 🤦🏻♂️
