- I saw by brother was in need of a proper work bench, his wasn't up to sewing on let alone a good sh.....g on!
He had some hardwoods I used to up-cycle to make this MONSTER of a bench, he wanted a whopper!!!
Wood was aged the traditional way - but at that size there was no way this would fit through his door frames in his house! Pop up bench dogs too, and only carpenters vices used!
Here's the full edit of the build.

Domino XL for the expansion slots, maybe?
I need to pin this comment, yeah its been said before and I cant believe I didnt think of it! Cheers Homer 🍻🍻🍻
2nd this reply. I've been doing this for all sorts of tasks and it works great. You just need all the domino bits for the different diameters.
That's a dinning room table if it were me,,,lol. That turned out beautiful.
Thanks dude, do you know he didn’t even say thank you. 🤨
Stunning bench man. Love the pop up dogs, and appreciated showing how the aging goes so deep, I had no idea. Enjoyed your video.
Thanks dude, nice of you to take the time to say, much appreciated mate. Hope you had a wicked weekend 🍻🍻🍻
Once in a while you get to enjoy someone truly passionate about what they do, and you obviously are. SUPERB Epic build my friend! AAA quality work! It was a treat watching this come together, truly amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you Chris, much appreciate the heart felt compliment!!! I hope you’re having a nice weekend! 🍻😊🍻
New subscriber here.Its really great to see a real wood worker. Not carrying on about mindless banter. Thanks for the videos. I will be taking your advice on my new work bench.
Welcome aboard 😁 you’re probably find a vid or to of me rambling 😂
I love the narration as much as I love the bench! Wow!
Thank you Ken, that’s nice to hear all I hear is “I can’t understand you!” mostly some get pretty angry about it too, such as life. I hope you had a lovely Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
This is the Bench to end all benches. Like an aircraft carrier! When you started mentioning ammonia fuming, my heart sank ... until I saw the result. Gorgeous. Now I'm saying that other benches pale in compare (and rightly so). The weight you mention- 380 kgs- is that of a baby grand piano!! The big Model D Concert Steinway comes in at a feathery 490 kgs. You should be there too, once you build the lower cabinets. I'm just going to go away and hide in a hole.
Fan- f******g- tastic job Ben! Truly, hats off.
Thank you, you’ve really made me smile I don’t smile often! Sending a virtual hug! 🍻😊🍻
@Hew & Awe (Ben) Cheers Ben, I'm so chuffed I mad you smile. At least I've done something right for once! 🤣
Big virtual hugs back. 👍😉😆😎
Super heavyweight!!! I like it a lot and I really like the different shades of oak. The whole thing looks not only unique, but also beautiful!
I think many people don't have such an elegant table in the living room...
Haha for sure, I’d have that in my living room! I have to put up with IKEA 😂 Merry Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
You truly love your Brother sir... this is a work of true craft!
I'll be tipping a pint in your direction ya cheeky git!
Cheers dude, I’ve had some pretty shitty comments of late and this has cheered me up! I hope you had a lovely Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
Wow, what a true professional. So much attention to detail. The end result is phenomenal
Thank you for the lovely compliment, I hope you had a wonderful weekend!🍻😊🍻
Bloody gorgeous m8!
Thank you, I can confirm it gets beat on not babied 👌
hahaha... "I grew an inch just looking at this" .. very funny. Excellent vid
Thanks buddy 😊
And that is how you build it, present it and narrate it. Now if only I could stop watching your chuffing channel and pick up my tools, I might actually develop some skills of my own. If they were only 10% of what you have I'd settle for that with a smile on my face. As always captivating and brilliant.
Thank you Jon for the lovely compliment! Hope you’re well!! 🍻🍻🍻
Ben, I noticed below in one of your replies that you have had some crappy comments, mate Fuck em, don't give them the time of day pal. You are better at what you do than they are at commenting. You have a growing and loyal fan base, your woodwork is the best I have seen on YT by a mile and what's more you don't bullshit or use your channel to advertise crap no one will ever use like many others do.
I don’t see the crappy comments these days, mostly i ignore them, I won’t lie they do play on my mind for a few days though, what I’d really like is them say it to my face that wouldn’t end well for them!
This piece of artwork belongs in the middle of my living room. Also helps solve the lack of space to do my woodworking. What a great video again and I am very intimidated by this craftsmanship.
Thank you Emerald hope you had a lovely weekend!
Great work. I wish I had a brother that would build something like this for me
Trouble is with siblings they can also be brats 😂
Very well done, Sir!
Thank you DWB I hope you’re having a nice weekend! 🍻😊🍻
A truly monumental build Ben. It is so satisfying to watch a real craftsman producing something with such dedication and skill.
Thank you Derek! 🍻🍻🍻
Bloody awesome. Best content. Epic workbench. Brilliant sound effect to accompany the glory shot at the end. Got me sub’d
Cheers dude, appreciate the compliment mate!! 🍻😊🍻
Beautiful !!!!!
Thank you James! 🍻🍻🍻
Wish you were my brother! Awesome bench Ben, magnificent
Hahaha thanks Paul!
insanity!!!!! love it!!!
Thank you Nicholas! Hope you’re having a nice weekend! 🍻🍻🍻
THAT IS ONE COOL LOOKING WORK BENCH THERE MY FRIEND.
Thank you JR! Appreciate the compliment mate!!! Hope you have a lovely Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
Great content. 👍
Cheers Sam! 🍻😊🍻
lol your narration is just brilliant
Thank you buddy 😊
Cool as always
Thanks buddy! 😊
Gr8 vid Gr8 Table 👍
All that Hard Work Paid Off😇😁
Cheers dude, I wouldn’t mind one myself 😂 I wonder what a bench like that would sell for 🤔
Very nice Sir!
Thank you Bustin! 🍻😊🍻
Good stuff. It took me a while to get used to your foreign accent but enjoyed the content. Thanks for sharing.
I bet the subtitles were fun! Subtitles can’t decipher slang. 😂
@@HewAndAwe 🤣
Tis a thing of beauty...that's why I've never got round to making myself a magnificent hardwood bench...I'd be too terrified of scratching it. I do my best work on a mega thick lamination of mdf!👍
Thank you David! I was the same with my bench but soon got over it after all it’s a tool too. I tried mdf and spilt a water finish and it was toast after! I’ve tried ply to but I could’ve bothered with the swapping of the tops and lining up the dog holes either.
@@HewAndAwe In my woodstore I have a heap of unassembled ash fire door frames. They are thick and chunky and have 'workbench' written all over them...one day I'll get round to it....
you should do it. as soon as you've dinged it up a few times you remember it's a workbench. My workbench still looks good after 20 years, well worth the effort : )
It’s a long build for sure, I’m in no hurry to build another just yet.
More hammering than the local rub and tug 😂😂
That’s no way to talk about my ex 😅 Merry Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
F-me forgot to say top chippy you are sir
Thanks mate! Appreciated the compliment, hope you had a nice weekend! 🍻🍻
Best workbench video on youtube
Thank you Isaac, thank you for the lovely compliment! I hope you’re well! 🍻😂🍻
Great job, Ben! Great workbench! Thank you for the video! I took great pleasure in watching.
Cheers buddy! 🍻🍻🍻
Smoked the bit, full send
I don’t seem to get on with forstner bits what ever speed I use.
Very nice 👍
Thank you J, I hope you’re having a great weekend! 🍻😊🍻
Wow! What an epic build! You must love your brother. Beautiful and really practical too! Thank you for sharing your nice builds. All the best, Job
Thank you Job! Thank you for the compliment! I hope you had a lovely Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
Beautiful!! I would have loved to have seen your brothers reaction when you first showed it to him. Is he happy with it? I can't imagine anyone saying no, lol.
I would of liked to of seen some emotion from him but no, I don’t remember him even saying thank you. 🤨
Wow!
What a work of art.
You do such good work and you have such a kind heart.
I would love to see your brother's reaction.
Thank you Tammy, he’s not that reactive, but he had seen it being built along the way so I put it down to that. 😬
How deep does the domino bore? That would be a nice expansion slot, bore from both sides if not deep enough in one pass.
That’s been said before yeah that’s a very good idea and wil be exactly what I do from here on in. Max depth is 70mm
@13:00 you can clamp a flat block on top of your stock as a guide for the chisel to remain straight up and down
Yeah I can, nice to get it right with out any aids though don’t you think?
@@HewAndAwe @13:11 Not really bro, your chisel skipped over the next line because there wasn't anything preventing it. If you're sculpting something yea hands only is probably best for the process. but cutting a line should be mint.
AWESOME bench build Ben - Stunning!!
Thank you Greg! Appreciate the compliment mate! 🍻🍻🍻
Stunning build missed this back when but back tracking through the ones a missed. Doing a bench just shortly gonna take few ideas from this. Also wanted pick your brian just got the Bosch plunge saw do u no if they fit on any other tracks?? 🏴👍
I know maffell make the guide rails for Bosch so they’ll work for sure, I’ve heard the festool do and evolution but don’t quote me. I don’t have the Bosch so so not the best person to ask. There’s a few Bosch facebook groups worth joining! I’d strongly suggest the Bosch maffel guide rails as they’re the best on the market certainly from the connection system point of view!!! 👌
@@HewAndAwe yea a saw they seem good was just the bloody cost of them. 700mm from Bosch is like 80 quid but look at say evolution it's like 50 for 1800 and festool think can get 2 700mm for about 70 quid but I'll look about. Plus with the Bosch from what ave seen you need buy all the connectors and clamps all separate great having saw without the bloody rails. 👍🏴
@michaelwillson6847 the biggest issue with rails is the connections only the Bosch works.
@@HewAndAwe yea am hearing that and the Bosch connection parts ain't cheap. Although someone is telling me Makita track works not sure if it's true.
It is a beautiful workbench. Mine's sort of evolved in the corner of the room and has an MDF top. It only works because it's attached to the wall or I'd be chasing it around the room!
We’ve all been there dude! That’s the right of passage 😉
Beautiful - and huge - bench. BTW - it‘s called crubber because it‘s a combination of cork and rubber - and yeah, it‘s great for vise jaws. Flubber was a goofy Robin Williams film. =p
Did I not say that in the video, correctly myself later on in the vid? Maybe wrote in the vid description on one of the vids…
@@HewAndAwe You did correct yourself and said crubber - I was just pointing out the origin of the word.
Are okay Gotchya 😊
I like your commentary. Thanks for taking the time to share your projects
Thank you Paul for the compliment, thanks for taking the time to comment too! 🍻😊🍻
Your brother is a jammy man, fantastic job.
Must say I am very jealous!
Waw Beautiful what were the spring-loaded things you used for your dog holes called pls
Thank you. There these - amzn.to/48UD7FJ 👍
Wow...
Cheers dude! It’s broken in now with a lovely circ saw cut oops! 😂
What did you use to spring load those pop up work bench "knobs", much appreciated if you could share this...??? The one you load into the wooden block at 9:03...

Beautiful build. How long did it take you from start to finish?
Cheers Gary! I’m not sure about a month, the ageing kinda throws off the time it took. But I’d guess a month plus.
Just found the channel through this video so I’ll be going through your others now. Bench looked really smart.
Did I miss you explaining how the bench dog click up and down? Or did you buy some hardware to do them
Thank you Andrew for the compliment! I didn’t go through them as I had in a previous bench build the one I made for myself. They’re push to open cupboard catches. YUOIP® Push to Open Door Catches Magnetic Latch Open and Close The Door with a Single Push(10 Pack) amzn.eu/d/a6lfSTH 👍
@@HewAndAwe that’s a cracking idea thanks for the reply.
I will come out, beautiful
Thank you Mark! 🍻🍻🍻
96cm tall, either your brother is a giant or has a bad back that doesn't like it when he bends down. Nice work though, top quality bench.
He’s over 6’. It was funny he bought a bench off eBay even had the old wooden screw thread, when it was next to him it looked knee height 😂
Wow, I'd be reluctant to use it. Absolutely awesome!
I gotta be honest Paul, I dont get it when peeps say that, Id be chomping at the bit to use it! All that space for more than one project and space to have a banquet at the same time 😂 Hope youre well Paul!!! 🍻🍻🍻
Wow man just found you, great work! I love how you so deftly move between hand tools and machines
Cheers Chris! Hope youre well fella! 🍻🍻🍻
Ben, that's one helluva MOA Bench! Enjoyed the build 👍
Cheers Suj! What’s happened, seems you’ve gone quite on the Tube?
@@HewAndAwe haha.. thanks Ben, nothing serious, just busy at my actual work, and travelling during this time. My youtube watchlist has now over 200 videos, so slow in catching up. I have a few projects recorded, but will probably start the edit in Sep/Oct. And frankly, I'm in no hurry for that either, as there are not that many views on my new video's anyways, lols!
It sure is tough to get views, I feel CZcams would rather we post shorts… 😞
@@SujMenon consistency seems to be key mate, youtube doesn’t like it if wee take a week off 🤦🏻♂️
That my friend was f##%@in Epic, but I doubt it would fit in my bedroom workshop. Regards Jim.
Thank you Jim 😊
stunning bench that, got to say my fave channel at the moment 🍻
Thank you Ed! 🍻🍻🍻
F'ing ehh man... nice build m8
Cheers dude! Hope you’re well! 🍻😊🍻
Me: speechless
She’s a beauty eh! 🍻🍻🍻
Great music, great video, great humour, You are also pretty good with the wood. 🙂
Thank you, thank you for the compliment!! I hope you had a lovely Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
Lovely that Ben - your brother is a lucky guy
Thank you Stuart! I want one now 😬
Love the videos! Those springs you used for the dogs , are they a special thing to catch and release?

“Tight as a ducks ass”…….. how does that conflate with the, “Fifth duck on a string”, theory?
Just how important is the size of the button?
I’d imagine still water tight 😆 you’ve lost me on the button, was a while ago this vid?
23:15 You made me spit up my coffee. "Tight as a duck's ass." When I was thinking, 'How the 𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 does that make sense?', you answered, "... Watertight."
I have horrible visions of other things when I say that 😂 I hope you had a lovely Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
Bloody rippa bench mate. Came up nice…. Cyclone inbound get under that bastard 🇦🇺🇦🇺😂😂😂
Hahaha cheers David! 🍻🍻🍻
I was using a roundover bit with a bearing on it, it fell off while putting the finishing touches on the job and completely fucked 2 days of work
That’s so shit when that happens I’ve been there enough times to really think hard of other options!
A lot to be said about a good solid hard wood ...
🤣😂😂😂yup that's what she said.....
Soft wood absorbs the blows she said that it's no good for hand work...she needs a fella that's got some good hard wood
Perfectly put Jon 😂🤣😂
You asked if we had any suggestions on the expansion slot… if you only had a tool that cut slots. Like a domino. By the way I found your channel today. Binge watching your videos. Great camera work. Great lighting. Great content. Great sense of humor. Obviously great wood skills.
Thank you David for the comment much appreciated! I hope you had a lovely Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
Amazing table Ben, learning so much from your vids. What are the spring fixings you're using on the bottom of the square bench dogs called?
Look up his reply to Rod Potts above- he gave a detailed reply. There's even a link to the Amazon site.
Thank mate! There’s a link floating about in the other comments bud 👍
@Hew & Awe (Ben) Hi there Ben,
To be honest I was hoping for a reply from you to MY comment. I'm a cabinet maker by trade, worked in Paris, France, as well as Brighton. The workbench is an iconic tool. I have worked on more than one in my time (64 years old at the present). SO many people work on crap work tops. It's literally unbelievable. Custom-made models like yours are few and far between. I personally couldn't build anything near it, despite the fact that I worked for crowned heads. You are just as much a mechanic as you are a wood worker- you've proved that. That's what it takes. Hats off for this one. However, it wouldn't fit just anywhere.
What comment mate? I’ve answered every comment CZcams have showed me either in notifications or the comments section 😬
@Hew & Awe (Ben) Hi there Ben,
No worry, it seems you answered it. It was about the 1st comment I made to you. Absolutely insane workbench. Hats off. A real masterpiece. Do you know about the Scott Landis Workbench Book? There are pretty insane ones in there too. The only worthwhile market models are the Ulmia (German), and the Sjöbergs (Sweden).
But yours takes the cake.
Thanks for sharing.
God bless.
Ralph
I love the fuming. I used to buy 20 something percent aqueous ammonia at blueprint supply places. I wouldn't know how to get something like that without showing up on some sort of terrorist watch list.
LMAO I asked in a facebook group cause my usually supplier seemed to of gone belly up, no one answered but found more on Ebay.
That's nicer than my dining table! I hope your brother looks after it!
Yeah he is, last I saw it had a cover protecting the top, me I would just crack on!
@@HewAndAwe but you'll have to now build yourself a bigger and better one!! Maybe go down the Dainermade laminated route? A workbench made out of recycled skateboards or something really unusually shaped? A man of your talent and ingenuity could come up with something spectacular? IMHO
Maybe one day, what I’ve got works but would be nice to have a bigger top so would need a bigger workshop 😬
The Moab tree actually has very soft wood so you might want to rethink the name.
I think you mean boab? MOAB means mother of all bombs hence the capital letters, I just played on the term.
@@HewAndAwe Oops. I meant boab lol!
@@HewAndAwe If you were in the Army you'd be a General!! But you're of greater use to Mankind out in the open wild.🤣
Great craftsmanship! But “softy, softy, catchy monkey??” I’ll admit that I speak American, not English, so maybe the problem is mine.
Morning Jim, Its an old Engllish proverb meaning that if do not rush or if you avoid being too hasty, then eventually you will achieve your goal - in other words, be patient. 👍
СУПЕР 👍👍👍
Thank you! 🍻🍻🍻
Epic, in all perspectives.
Cheers Ben, wish you both and all the best mate.
PS Honestly now, how many hours did it take editing this one???
Cheers mate, usually it’s about 3 hours per minute of finished film but this one I’d say well over a hundred hours as there’s 8 edits 4 portrait and 4 landscape one of each the full edit.
@@HewAndAwe Epic indeed! Bloody awesome! (as a brit-yanks saying😜). Be well mate.
@@stavros_katsopr m
You are a proper carpenter/joiner without a doubt
Thank you Marlow, appreciate your compliment mate! 🍻🍻🍻
A quick thought on the expansion hole cutting. Use your domino cutter to leave a good looking oval. But honestly bashing them out as you did is probably the best in this application
Yeah it’s been said and I can’t believe I’ve never thought of that! 🤦🏻♂️
If your chisel work is not upto standard God help the rest of us Ben😆 Stunning work.
Thank you Karl, hope you’re well mate! 🍻🍻🍻
Hell yeah brother! Cleetus McFarland and crew approves of the workbench..... probably. I know I do!
Haha! Thank you fella, I hope you had a lovely Christmas! 🍻😊🍻
Beautiful workbench. I think the dimensions of the top, at the end of the video, are wrong as the top would be square. What were the dimensions of the top? I can imagine each section of the top is heavy enough on it's own.
960mm tall is nearly as tall as my jewellers workbench, which is much taller than my woodworking workbench, so now I got the image of your brother being a 7 foot goliath. Seriously though that is a bench that should last many lifetimes, very nicely done.
It’s 2m long 1m wide, he’s a tall one, over 6’ I think he would of liked it taller too! Thank you for the compliment too! 🍻🍻🍻
Why did it need to be so big?
I get asked that a lot. His work flow I guess, and to be honest I would like one that big now, must be nice working and not having to clear space for something.
@@HewAndAwe Now really would there ever be enough horizontal surfaces for a shop?😂😂😂😂😂
@@virtualfather in the land of the free I’m guessing so 🍔🌭🇺🇸
2 meters long, 2 meters wide? It doesn't look square to me.
Is that what I said? No was 2m by 1m.
@@HewAndAwe You didn't say it but it was captioned at the end. Thank you for the clarification.
MOABVideos. Awesome stuff mate, worth the second watch.
Thank you buddy 😊
