  • Woodworking workbench / Joinery bench (Roubo/English Nicholson style) with pop-up bench dogs built with / 2x4’s and oak, plus storage.
    My old assemble table was getting on and unstable so I knocked this up - I didn’t go with a fancy leg vice, my carpenters vice has served me well enough for many years and can’t see the point in them. The majority of the bench is made from 2x4’s with some oak in one area cause hardwood is better for chisel work etc.
    With a limited budget I used what ever I could find lying about.

      Thank you Dan, I originally made a wall hung tool cabinet cause I wanted to keep the dust off of the tools and quickly out grew that one (wasnt anything special mind) decided to make a better one (you've probably seen) and I still dont shut the bloody doors lol I'm seriously thinking of making a completely different version, a nice looking cabinet but on the ground though, with only drawers, with everything having its own home, I think thats a much better idea - its a right pita to clean the wall idea bud....

    I love it! Looks to me like a great idea for any hybrid shop or chairmaker. Too wide for my needs, but if I didn’t require that space for my shavehorse, I’d consider it. Like I said, certainly would be nice for chairmaking in my opinion. I don’t have a tablesaw or powered miter saw, so it’s not like I could justify it as an outfeed. I think it’s a wonderful tool brother; if you’re happy and it meets your purpose, then rock on!

    • @HewAndAwe
      @HewAndAwe  Před rokem

      I’d really like the one I made my brother, but I don’t have the space or even a few of them so I can leave things were they were and not have to make space for something else I’m working on at the same time. I wouldn’t say no to a workshop in the US and get a golf cart to get around in it 😂

    Having watched many many workbench videos, this one is a work of common sense and genius. The use of oak and pine for the top to make an effective and cost effective work surface is the perfect example of how well thought out this bench is. If I had a forelock I would tug it, so back to chicken choking. A stylish piece work but ready for the professional. 😷

I pretty much don’t sharpen, I put a fresh bevel on and every now and then when I feel the edge dulling I give the micro bevel a few pulls on the 8000 and keep going till that micro bevel is right up the primary bevel, then regrind and start the process all over.

    Absolutely mind-blowing. First, the precision of the woodworking is fantastic. Truly what most of us aspire to do. The video bits are also impressive. I sure hope you just have a dozen cameras all around the shop, bc you manage to capture everything. I can't imagine trying to *do* the work, *and* film it all so well at the same time.
    But damn, that woodworking is impressive... Thanks for taking so much time to share it with us.

    • @HewAndAwe
      @HewAndAwe  Před 4 lety +2

      Thank you Doug! Thank you for the lovely complement! I have two cameras but really only use one cause my workshop is small, I just move the camera around remembering where where my hands were and try keeping the shots centre third framed so the edit looks better and flows. Not gonna lie, easily triples the build time. Then for every minute of final edited film its taken between 4 to 6 hours of editing to do, so say a 30 min film about 120 to 180 hours have gone into it just editing. So you can see why I so appreciate your complement! I just wish my vids would do as well as they do on IGTV, most of my vids get 100-500k views there 🤷🏻‍♂️ I prefer here for the widescreen format though.

    I'm not saying that you are the only one to use a backup board dovetailing but you are definitely the only one I have ever seen on youtube to use it and I was taught that years ago in France for the very reason you stated. One tip if I may suggest: the use of Gorilla Glue is not all that good in terms of strength. It has been proven that due to its pores condition when setting up it loses some holding strength and regular carpenters glue is still be better of all the glues in holding power. look it up on youtube Matheus has a good video on this test of glues. Beautiful work by the way, as usual. I missed the music.

    • @HewAndAwe
      @HewAndAwe  Před 3 lety

      Thank you Dan, its more a case of set time and open time why I use it, a 5 min set time is very useful to me cause I can get on, or a 45 min open time compared to 5-10 pva in summer - that has caused me some problems along the way, glue-ups are stressful enough... Unfortunately ive had to cancel my subscription to epidemic sound, money's to tight to mention and some pros have said my edits with my music im using music as "wall paper" - still a lot to learn on the editing side bud, sound design is very complicated, I can only get better at least haha. Hope youre well and safe bud! Cheers, Ben.

      @@HewAndAwe One last comment and please don't feel that you have to respond. first I do understand the speed of gluing with this type of glue. I know your time is precious but I have to say that so many like myself love music and your videos are really good in content, timing, and compositions. there will always be those who just can't help themselves in negative criticism perhaps it is best to turn off the comment side of things here. you have a great talent both in woodworking, video creation, and editing, and your music selection that add to your videos so much. It would be a pity if a few negative comments keep you from your music and there are plenty of royalty-free music on the net I know I use them all the time in my videos. as for the money, the side is a concern if you keep up what you doing here on youtube you'll make all the money you need. So glad to have found you here on youtube.

    I would love to know more about how you get the mirror finish on the back of your chisels

    • @HewAndAwe
      @HewAndAwe  Před 4 lety

      Its a long boring process, first of all flatten the back with a stone of some kind, water, oil or diamond stone. For flattening I use a 1000 grit stone once you can see its flat because all of the back has no shine to it then move up the grades 1000 to 3000 to 8000 then polish with a strop or MDF and polishing compound. If you find you get to the end and still have scratch marks you havent spent enough time on one of the grits so have to go back. With out doing this though you'll never get your chisels scary sharp. If Ive said something that doesnt make sense let me know?

    • @targettio
      @targettio Před 4 lety +1

      @@HewAndAwe thanks, I assumed that was it. I have been going from a 1k stone straight to a leather strop (Paul Sellers approach). It gets a sharp edge, but not the mirror back. The strop can't take out the 1k scratches over the entire back, so I suspected I needed take smaller grit jumps. Cheers.

    • @HewAndAwe
      @HewAndAwe  Před 4 lety +1

      Chris Targett a strop is okay when you’re at that point but if the leather is too thick I find it’ll round over the business end you’ll notice a fine shinny line at the tip of the chisel looking at the back of that has happened, is why I use MDF and compound, I use the green solid compound or menzerna 400 liquid compound. But all said and done if you’re going to then sharpen that won’t be the case and take away that rounded edge. 👍

    I've had the chance to use this table a couple of times now. It's fun to whip out in front of people:) I can see what people are talking about when they say the legs are delicate, but they're design to support a "mostly" vertical load, not be torqued from the side or pushed back into place. If you just let the table open or close on it's own and don't force anything, it works great czcams.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh Once it's set up, it's pretty solid.
