End Vise , Face Vise ?? In Austria we use an Edelwiess !
I'll see myself out...
At last, someone explained why the face vise is on the left. As a lefty, I had a suspicion I should design mine the other way round, but now I know why. One of the best videos I've seen in researching this subject.
I agree
Unpretentious, straight to the point, not too biased in terms of brands. No BS indeed, videos like this one are far too rare on YT. Thank you, sir!
I totally agree! This was a great, and very instructional video. I just recently had major back surgery and am now designing a small workbench for here at my house so I can start doing some tinkering. With the exception of church and physical therapy, I'm not getting out of the house much and am really getting stir-crazy.
Not quite sure if I should laugh at your antics or rather feel sorry for you. You apparently didn't understand one bit he was saying, yet you feel the need to complain - based on what exactly? Let's see YOUR video about benches, then. Let's hear YOUR thoughts, let's see YOUR shop.
As I suspected - you are just a poser who didn't even watch the video and who didn't even listen. Go and annoy someone else with your nonsense, will you? I don't want any of it and if Stumpy Nubs had not said this was a "family channel", I would have used much more drastic words. I take his advice over your substanceless outpourings any day, but that might be a familiar feeling to you.
Simon, I think you missed the whole idea behind the video. This was not about how to do woodworking but about suggestions about how you can customize your workbench to meet your needs. It is about not buying something just because you can. It is about spending money wisely on good tools that help you produce fine work.
I think his tips were excellent. I benefited from a couple of them and suspect to could have, as well. Example, I did not make the front of my bench flat across the whole front. That was a mistake and now I realize why I should correct my work.
@@SimonWoodburyForget I disagree. I'm an individual who makes forward decisions based upon data presented by others. Learning the opinions and methods of others assists me in finding what works best for me. I prefer to avoid making the same mistakes already made by others. You seem to be an individual whom sees no benefit in informational videos as this. I certainly am my own individual and make my own path and certainly do not interpret Mr. Hamilton's words as woodworking hard-line gospel that if not followed means I'm wrong and am an idiot. Perhaps your experience teaches you to move on and avoid seeking videos like this. I must say, however, no matter your real experience, your posted comments provides me with evidence that you would not be an individual I would trust taking advice or counsel from. With 36 years of solid engineering experience in my background, I certainly do appreciate the credibility Mr. Hamilton shows forth and am able to find little nuggets that are certainly better than the way I've been doing things. I shudder that any serious amateur woodworker looking to improve their skill set could be sent down a road of torturous filled effort by accepting as practical truth no need for a solid, well architected & designed work bench and is not needed in a smallish amateurs wood shop. I am so sorry you have wasted your time here. I wish you much success following your perceived superior ways.
i have to admit for wood work you have become a trust seal for me. none of you video/info given has ever let me down. thanks for all the hard work and passing on information that you would have spent life time gaining. God bless your heart and all your loved ones.
I screwed an old door for the top onto my Mom's old dresser and put some wheels on it for my workbench.........I expect NASA to call with a job offer any day now.
Hahaha😃😃😃😃!
Your comment made my day.
@@Canosa612 Cool 😎!
Son, have you ever considered the possibility of life on other planets ?
Scaffolding boards and glue 👌👌
I built my workbench from a Readers Digest plan back in the 70's. Built it on an open carport with a few tools I managed to scrounge up to fit in a 10 x10 metal shed. Though far from the professional versions, it's been through a lot over the years and still solid; more than I can say for myself.
🙏🏽🙏🏻I want to say a big thanks for your education and shared experience.🙏🏻🙏🏽
Your amazingly unexcited way to teach & explain is an refreshing change in the chaotic CZcams world.
Finally managed to subscribe on your website.
Thank you
I love the big, expensive benches...I myself have an inexpensive but capable one that matches my level of involvement - but - I am always amazed at how Japanese craftsmen can sit on the floor with what amounts to a plank on their knees and still produce exquisite works out of wood. Their joinery and tool mastery are, in my eyes, unequaled.
This guy, even now is my go to on all subjects involving wood. All the you tubers now and even some of the veteran wood working you tubers have nothing on the nubs.
Have watched several videos about building a workbench for my garage and this is by far the best one I’ve seen. Thank you for helping me figure out all the ways to build a work bench properly with maximum functionality. 👍🏻
I’ve been a cabinet maker 16(?) years, and I always find myself nodding to your videos. A lot of it I know, and checks out with my experience, but I always learn a couple of things I did not already know. Thanks for the prolific video-making.
Also, you should probably get to sleep. It’s almost 9:30 in Michigan! What are you, in your 20’s?
Made my holdfast is of a carefully chosen branch of Rhodedendron. Grows wild here and can cut it to a not annoying length, for those who don’t have the four inch bench tops. I love using this bit of scrap wood and giving it a bash with a mallet and seeing people’s faces.
James, you pronounce all your words so clearly. It is a pleasure just listening to you talk. ☺
I gave your video a thumbs up because it was so brutally honest. I say that because of the space and financial requirements that are not so easily met by some wood workers. For example, I rent and my shop has a standard door. It's like 35 or 36 inches and that kinda limits me unless I make the bench so I can take the top off and that the frame will fit through the door when I can't pay my rent. LOL!
Another jewel in the crown, James. Top video, to the point and with a lot of very useful info.
Absolutely a vise on any kind of work bench is essential. Dude has his shit together with his shop for sure
Some great information here James. It's something I'll be looking around for in the new year. Now I'm armed with some good knowledge to make a better choice. I'll watch again later for the stuff that didn't sink in the first time. Thanks.
Im a Jamaican and our work bench is just a plywood top and it get work done. We dnt have any of those fancy clamps at the shop i work. You explaining a proper work bench put things on a next level. Im planning on building my work bench at home and you give me an idea. Awesome video always. I subscribe few days ago. Keep up the great work.
Very comprehensive, to the point, no-nonsense... Love it! Great job... and THANKS
Another quality video with tons of great info and no fluff. I get excited every time I see a new Stumpy Nubs video. Thank you!!!
What a great video. Never knew benches could be that involved, but it just makes me more excited to get into woodworking now. Thanks so much for this upload.
James, you are a master of clear, succinct explanations that are full of helpful information. This video is an excellent example of verbal commentary, visual demo, and pacing. I have watched a few of your Stumpy Nubs videos and plan to work my way through most of the others.
Thank you for the time and effort you and your crew obviously put into your duel crafts or wood working and video production!
I, and apparently many others, appreciate you all!
I learned so so much from this video. Now I have reasons to love my benches and know what I can improve on. Awesome!!! Thanks.
I find myself liking your videos more and more with each one I watch!!!!!!!
Honestly, I just love your videos. Great down to earth philosophy, practical wisdom and tips. Lots of experience and true honesty.
Thank you sir.🙂👍🇨🇦
Your intro is Genius. Best one I've ever seen. And that's no BS.
I have revisited this video numerous times when considering workbench adjustments. Consider this a belated thank you for making it.
Love your channel. I come here whenever I want a no butter sticks explanation of things. Thanks
I’ve been watching YT woodworking vids for a while. This was by far the best bench video I’ve seen and learned from. I’m subscribing and can’t wait to watch more of your channel. Kudos!
Probably the most informative video I've seen without any BS. Thank you very much.
So happy I found this video before getting started on finally building a proper workbench. Thanks for sharing!
Really enjoyed this, and answered a lot of my questions. I feel more confident about beginning my first bench build. Thanks you.
Best tutorial video about woodworking ethics ever. I've learned some more , good job. Can't wait to build my work table with all the essential jigs.
Great video as usual. Thank you for pointing out some of the important features that a bench should possess. I’ve seen a lot of videos about building ‘the ultimate workbench’ and they’ve all been a little different. Very pertinent and to the point. Thank you.
I love these longer videos...
Your the man been watching for a while now and your knowledge is amazing and has help me in my wood working thank you
Probably your best video. Straight, direct to the point, factual, and informative. Amazing job.
Thanks for making these videos and for all your work and knowledge sharing.
So glad I came across this randomly. This is the best explanation why workbenches are made the way they are and why each thing is used. I pretty much just want that work bench.
Just came across this video while considering how to build my next workbench. I must say I loved how you told us what to consider but also thoroughly supported it with why it is important. Great job on this video and thank you for the great advice!
I'm looking into building my own bench right now. I appreciate the information. I alwase get alot from the videos here on Stumpy Nubs.
Thank you. Can confirm this and all your other videos are no bs with so much great info to an amateur woodworker.
I love these videos just because they’re made so well
Great video. I’m in the process of designing myself a workbench and your video has given me a few extra tips/ideas and things to think about.
One of he best produced and informative videos I've seen.
James Hamilton, for real I thought Stumpy Nubs was a nickname you go by, until your greeting at the start of this video. Thanks for all your exceptionally good information!
Sound advice, James! Thanks for the video. I'll reference this when I build my new bench.
Excellent! I built my first workbench 30 years ago a I sure do wish I’d seen this video before I started it! Thanks James, it’s time I think to build a new one.
So many features that I've never seen before on any of the workbenches I've used, now I have some more things to look for when I get/make my own workbench someday!
I'm going to build a bench and this was some excellent information. Thank you for posting. Probably saved me some frustration.
Your review was excellent. I built my work bench 10 years ago and it is pretty simple: face vise, tail vice, dog holes. Very flat maple top, 4x4 SYP base with mortise and tenon joints, no nails, screws, or bolts and no tool tray.
I figured a woodworker worth his salt should build his own.
My vises have that quick release feature. I agree with you, they're more trouble than benefit.
Very well done! Thank you for the time and effort you put into sharing your knowledge an experience.
I love how you explain the WHY of your decisions. EG: For me, as I need to set up and tear down my bench every time I work, being an apartment dweller who works in the yard in the complex, from your own description, I realized a tool well will probably be great to me, as I can't have a wall of tools nearby, and it's guaranteed to get cleared out between work sessions when I stow my bench. Thank you.
Do you talk anywhere about your thoughts on twin-screw vices?
Brilliant content for a beginner. THANK YOU!
Great advice. Very professional. Humor spot on. I’m building my first bench now, and you just answered questions I had about vice placement. Thank you!
I've watched this a couple of times and I really appreciate how you treat a bench as more than just a table, but as a sophisticated tool in itself.
Thanks for these tips. I am planning on building a workbench and your input has been great.
I had an odd workbench that was 4” thick in the center, mounted on barrels, but only 1” thick out at the last 18” at the ends where it hung over. I had a very heavy duty Wilton vise and the only place I could really mount it to get the stability it needed was in the center, where it’s very secure. I can work around it OK, but the biggest limitation of having it center mounted is that I can’t trim the ends of long boards with a hand saw, but that’s what table saws and miter saws are for. It has a quick release mechanism that works very well. In hindsight I should have just made shims for it at the left end, but it’s mounted with long recessed bolts that are countersunk and the holes filled with epoxy, so it would be a bear to move now.
Because I have four 55 gallon drums under the bench, I’m able to use those long bench hold downs in a few key areas with no problem, but those modern ones are a lot more convenient for sure. I believe all the bench dog holes I drilled in the bench are for 3/4” diameter dogs and hold downs. Thanks for the great tips! This is the only video I’ve ever seen having the details about vise placement. 👍
Great video. Really makes you think about what's important to you and the way you work.
James I fully agree with all your points. I’m currently designing a workbench for my shop. Your video helped me stick to my plan. Thanks.
Well researched, prepared, executed and edited. Thanks
Simply Excellent. Thank you for sharing another concise video, plug full of very solid advice!
I am in the process of designing a workbench for my shop and these are excellent points that you have made and I will incorporate them into my design. Thank you, much appreciated.
Great vid! I built my own bench from some basic designs and saw improvements as soon as it was done - wish I'd seen this video first - some food for thought when I design the next one!! Thank-You
one of the best presentations ever, thank you!!!!!!
as a woodworker begginer myself I'm loving this video, it really makes me want to buy\build my proper work bench! Thanks for the info Stumpy! U deserve a cold one!
_Excellent_ guide. This will help me design my home-built upgrade work bench. 👍🙂
Wow! A great, concise video packed full of fantastic advice in a clear way,with explanations for every aspect such as vices positioning, which features to look for and real world advice. I am about to make another bench so this was 100% reliable information
Spot on! Love the explanation of each feature and what you need to think of if you attempt to make one. The two things that I didn't incorporate into my bench are the face vice and dog holes on the legs. If I were to do it again, I would add them. Great video Stumpy.
I learned a lot of very helpful tips and info in a short time. Thank you for this video!
The most common sense workbench video I’ve seen yet. Thank you sir!
Hi James. Thanks for the workbench tour. I learned a few new things I wasn't aware of. You have a new subscriber!
Great info, valuable info for the guy who’s about to make his first bench! Keep up the good work!! 👍👍👍🇨🇱😎
Good ideas masterfully communicated
Great video James! A lot of useful information for someone like myself who would eventually like to have a nice woodworking bench.
Simple, clear and precise information for any woodworker. Thks for sharing those valuable information ☺️.
I will be moving soon and am abandoning my old bench and will be building a new one for my new shop that is customized for me and my type of work. These vids are valuable, thanks again for your channel.
I just love this video so much! How do you cram so much great content into these videos? I'm soooo ready for a perfect workbench!
Reader's Digest/Cliff Notes/No BS advice - great video/information James - thanks, Scott
James, you really know your shit. Seriously, you are a wealth of knowledge. Keep up the good work, I love your channel.
Great food for thought. Mine’s legs are set back…I’ll be facing them out with 2x4 on the front. Great vice advice too.
Thank you so much for this video. I just started learning about woodworking benches and have been overwhelmed by all the terminology, what with moxon vises and wagon vises and tail vises and round dogs vs square dogs and tool wells, etc. You really covered everything quite succinctly and I now have a much better understanding of the workbench and the features to keep in mind. Thanks again!
Great video!
Straight to the point and valuable information!
Tks!
Wow ! Wonderful set of information. I am so glad I have seen this video before building my solid workbench. Thank you. watching from Haiti
As I am planning my workbench build, I watched 10+ videos on workbenches. This video was the most informative. The information was clearly communicated and important. Thanks a lot.
This video is the best explaining what I need to know about workbenches. Now I know so much more about this matter, specifically because I started to build one for myself. Thank you for this video.
Great video! Thank you so much! One of the best videos I’ve seen on the subject
Your videos are invaluable to me, thank you so much. Quality and delivery are always excellent. Thanks again
What a brilliant, easy to understand video, I am just designing my bench at the moment in the u.k. and will certainly be using some of the mentioned points and features. Thank you ( subbed)
Thank you for this detailed insight. Great video!
Nice video, Thank you! I like the idea of having the legs flush with the front of the top, I bought a Sjoberg top years ago came with plans for legs, which I built, but the plans weren't flush with the front. Planning to build a new set with tool storage built in.
Thank you! You are amongst the best.
Really good and timely advice - I’m about to start a build and have struggled with all the features to include or exclude.
The floor itself is part of the system 👌
Thank you so much for your excellent videos. I watch and rewatch them all the time. I hope that we cross paths one day so I can shake your hand.
Just stumbled into your video and wanted to say Thank You! Instant subscriber
Glad I saw this video, you did a great job explaining construction benefits. I'm building a bench now and may have to change a few things, because of your advise..Great video thank you.
A most excellent and concise video, contains all the points to consider.
Don
Thanks Don!
This was beyond useful! Thank you!
Outstanding intro and run-down. Wish I had a shop like that... one day! One part at a time.
Agree on the tool tray. I build a rolling tray, nothing fancy just a three-shelf cart on soft smooth-rolling (but lockable) casters from Home Depot. That way I can have all the tools I'll need for a job on that tray, within arm's reach. When I'm done, they all get cleaned and put back into storage locations. It definitely cuts down on having to move all about the shop for clamps, bits, chisels, whatever.
