Wow! Beautiful! Glad to see it done but probably not as glad as you probably are. Lol! I wish I had the space because I would love to build one. Best wishes...
I have a similar mobile drill stand to yours. It's from a firm called Wolfcraft, and the only difference is you clamp a hand drill into it. Still a bit fiddly trying to get the depth dialled in, just use it when I use Forstner bits and need a perfectly aligned hole. Love the bench Andy. Particularly like the mix of metal frame and wooden top. Don't see this a lot on The Tube 🤘
While it's not a drill guide: Check out the drill stands from wabeco-remscheid in Germany. In difference to most drill stands they offer x as well as y axis. I just ordered one (for timber framing). Unfortunately the shipping to NZ is more than the Unit costs (Euro 150). A drill with a speed control on the top instead of behind the trigger is a good idea for this combination as it faces you during operation
I hate those portable drill presses too. I was looking for something that functioned like a Plunge Router. It would be an all in one system where the plunge mechanism would already have a balanced drill attached to it. Something like the Dewalt DCF682N1 (I know that's a driver, but I was referencing it's verticle design). & like a plunge router you would be able to keep both hands balancing the tool on either side. perhaps the on off button could be located on the handle as well. With this all in one system, you could easily swap out the drill bits. The only problem I see in this possible design is that a plunge router's depth is far less that that of a drill press, so you'd have to figure out a different tension system for the return spring.
with the bosch pbd 40 mini-drillpress, you can turn the stand around pretty easy, althought its not ment to be.. works perfect für benchdog-holes and so on.
I have an old Portalign drill guide that works much better than the plastic one, but it essentially for perpendicular holes. Here a similar one that's available: Kanzawa drill guide support K-801
‘ I can do this, no one can tell me I can’t ‘ lmfao I love it 🥰 I have to admit when I started watching the video you said it took you two years to make this bench I was about to shut it off until you said please don’t shut it off. I watched your video and will subscribe 😉 thanks
Really nice workbench. I haven't added dogholes and dogs to mine yet and that looks like a great solution. Is there a reason why you did not drill holes for the dog caps first and then route the groove for the strip and magnets? That way the second routing and strip would not be necessary.
Why did you route out the walnut strip for the dogs? And then why did you route a smaller strip into the first strip? I couldn't follow what's going on there.
The first walnut strip contains magnets to hold the dogs elevated if needed for clamping. The second smaller one was the quickest way to get a close clearance with the flat face of the dog top that I could think of.
UJK is a big outfit in England. Our equivalent to Rockler or FastCap. Checkout Peter Parfitt’s New Brit Workshop on just about any of their tools, as Peter designed a lot of them. Pretty fast shipping to America, as well.
The excitement builds! So looking at the vice jaws you made, do you have recommendations/drawings for constructing them in advance of receiving the vice? I've actually never had a vice on my benches so this is all new territory for me! Thanks and keep on keeping on!
hmm, I wouldn't do much before hand to fabricate the wood jaw, as the vise front and back plates are really good templates for that build. I almost suggested milling some over sized wood to the right thickness, but then it might lose more moisture and warp.
UJK is an Axminster brand. Axminster is like Rockler, but based in the UK. Unfortunately, the mobile drill press is still not available. Incredible workbench, by the way!😉
Great build. Very nice. I have a question, why did you have to glue in the second strip of wood? couldn't you rout the grove, drill in the holes and then put in the 1st stripe and be done?
@@AndrewKleinWW True. I'm probably too used to working in metal and/or with CNC tools where I can just specify that 1/10 or even 1/100 mm. Making that hole per hand can get you only so close. The walnut gets you a really beautiful contrast.
Nice bench with several cool ideas. Which sizes of your Turbo Twin Vise did you use? I'm pretty sure the end vise is the 24", but can't quite decide whether the front one is 20" or 14". The visuals will help me decide which I need. Thanks.
What stops a plane from planing to deep? When you are planing that projecting wood surface why doesn't the plane just keep on going after it reaches the bench top? I have always wondered this.
it actually does a little, you just make sure when you are getting close you set the blade depth light an then stop when you start to just shave the workbench. But its a workbench, so no big deal
Did you use the 24” & 20” on your bench, and can’t recall from the beginning of the series which you went with? I’m thinking of building your bench and want to pre- order? Although I don’t know if either of my children will go into woodworking, I feel someone in the family will want to keep it for something when I’m gone in 50 some years ;o}
Wow... three Andrew Klein videos after another of for a total of at least 30 minutes! Fantastic! Do you know if watching and then pausing makes youtube think it's bad? (if you continue watching it later) UJK is a well known brand in the UK. Kind of expensive but good quality. They make the Parf guide system and lots of other jigs.
Unfortunately, the only truly good drill guides are made for timber framers and are *crazy* expensive. I've been tempted many times to use some of the spare linear rail I've got floating around to make one from scratch.
That is a number 8 jointer plane, you are right smaller smoothing planes could have done all those operations, but my jointer plane just happens to be the one that is best tuned up right now.
@@AndrewKleinWW I sure don't have any influence but I sent them a message on IG suggesting that they make that product and whoever runs their IG said they'd forward my request to their product development team. We'll see!
@@AndrewKleinWW Festool and Mafell have drill stands too, but pricey (the Mafell one costs two legs in addition to an arm and a kidney). Both are marketed towards timber framing and carpentry. The Festool and Famag ones look pretty close in design and price.
I think a drill guide is so obvious that the state of the available products tells you exactly what you need to know about the market for it. It's a niche tool. No money there.
I've been eyeing off these drill guilds from japan: www.kanzawa.co.jp/foroverseas/products/attachment01.html They look way better quality I think they are available on amazon and maybe elsewhere.
Yeah, someone else suggested that one, does look better than what is have. Some of the hardware looks kinda cheap still, those little thumb screws might be a pain.
Great bench!. For the Drill Stan I use the wolfcraft that's attaches to your drill but different model. You could use something like this www.golzusa.com/products/core-drills/kb125/ see if you attach a common drill. Or you can use use www.wabeco-remscheid.de/catalog/product/view/id/5613/s/bohrstaender-b1230-saeulen-o-35-mm/category/252/?___store=en
Those both look very solid. They look like they have a collar that fits a specific type of drill though, so I think that I would need to buy a drill specifically to fit with either. Not that I'm completely opposed to that.
Well done, Andrew!
Nice job !!!
Gracias, great job I love your persistence and the fact that you tuicked it until it feels just right. I am impressed again.
Congrats
Thank you for posting
Está muy bonito tu banco de carpintería se ve tan fácil que dan ganas de hacer uno parecido. Gracias por comparti

Thank you sir!
seen couple of your videos and I had to subscribe! your precision at work is top notch
Thanks so much, and welcome!
very nice!!
Amezing Workbench. For Future.
Fantastic!
Thanks!
I can see the improvements you made in the build versus the sketch-up model. I think your mind never stops working...even at lunch with your son. :)
Yep, got better along the way

Love that vice

Andrew, that bench looks too good to do any work on! So when are you going to build a beater so that you can get work done?
My dining table build has been going on for approx 5 years. I might finish it in a couple of weeks due to my wife selling the old dining table.
Andrew - Have you looked into the Kanzawa Drill guides? They are supposed to be pretty good.
Really nice workbench. I haven't added dogholes and dogs to mine yet and that looks like a great solution. Is there a reason why you did not drill holes for the dog caps first and then route the groove for the strip and magnets? That way the second routing and strip would not be necessary.
Hi, Nice build! Why don't you use a small drill press like the Bosch Bench Drill PBD 40. I have one and it's not that heavy to move around.
Yeah that’s not a bad idea
Супер!!!! Молодец!!!
Why did you route out the walnut strip for the dogs? And then why did you route a smaller strip into the first strip? I couldn't follow what's going on there.

4:25 - My mom would sing that song to my sister and me when we were little. I'll be doggone you used it!
Haha, I’m picking all the right music!
What's the name of the song/artist? Shazam isn't helping me here...
@@kennya5165 oh where oh where has my little dog gone? Oh where oh where can he be?
UJK Make amazing stuff, I'd guess it's pretty good. If you add the springs from the old crappy one it'll be perfect
do you have a specific reason for not closing the flux of your magnets? (potted magnets, horseshoe shape, halbach array etc.)
Do you have a specific reason for thinking that he should?
@@robcauson4595 yes, les magnetic material needed over all..
Hey if you use the round side of the base while routing along an edge, small movements won't show up in the final result!
Yeah, thats probably true.

maybe a mag drill stuck to a large piece of flat stock for those perpendicular depth controled cuts? i think you can get those for a couple hundo
heh or just a 1-2-3 block positioning aid and a piece of tape for depth would work for a normal twist bit but maybe not a forstner
Great build. Very nice. I have a question, why did you have to glue in the second strip of wood? couldn't you rout the grove, drill in the holes and then put in the 1st stripe and be done?

Thanks! I don’t think pausing and watching later causes CZcams’s algorithm to downgrade the video, but who really knows
I use templates that I drill on the press. They are much more easy to use than a press guide and they are perfectly repeatable.
Agree although not very effective for drilling plumb with a forstner bit
another great Andrew Andrew masterpiece
Thanks!
Will it be possible one day to have your sticker sticking to my celebrity wall?
Err, I really should make one

That is a number 8 jointer plane, you are right smaller smoothing planes could have done all those operations, but my jointer plane just happens to be the one that is best tuned up right now.
