In this video I build a useful work support stand that all serious DIYers and woodworkers should have. Its a quick build, yet something that will be used in your shop for years to come.

Ok, sizing it so that flipping it over gives you the "in between" positions was a very nice touch. Took it from "obvious" to "clever" category, at least for me. Nicely done.
Thank you.
Your punch is used in the fire service during vehicle rescue. We call it a spring loaded center punch and it's used to break out the side and rear safety glass windows of a car before we go after the posts with the 'Jaws of Life' HURST tool. By pressing the spring loaded center punch in a lower corner of the window it shatters into the small cubes that safety glass is designed to break into and then we can pull the paces out. In training we are 'suppose' to cover the glass with duct tape to keep it from flying but in the field with the golden hour clock ticking, a tarp over the occupants is much faster.
Thank you for the cool details. That does make sense.
Nice idea! I love Dream Theater as well. I met John Petrucci and had him sign my guitar; which is one of his Music Man models. JP is a Cool Dude!
Thank you. Dream Theater is such a great band.
I can't wait to try and build this. It will make my life easier and the vice tip is a absolute winner!
Thank you very much.
Great addition for the shop and would be so useful! It must be warming up there since the "shop apprentice" is back out in the shop with you. It's good to know he's out there supervising your projects again! You do beautiful work. Keep up the great job and thanks so much for sharing your vast knowledge with us!
Thank you very much. Yup, we have had some warmer days.
My day is complete --> Mike uploaded another amazingly well done video.
You don't even need to be interested in wood working to enjoy Mikes expertly created masterpieces! :)
Thank you very much for the kind words.
Hey there. This turned out to be an inspiration. My 80 year old mother has taken up Macrame in the last lockdown. I used this design to make a pair of stands to hold the dowels that hold the piece mum's working on. Works a real treat. Thank you..
Thanks, that's really cool to hear.
I love those kind of projects with lots of hand tool work.
Thank you. Me too. I wish I could do them more often.
What a great idea / addition to a mans woodshed! I can surely see how handy this could be. Thanks a million
Thank you very much.
I loved the whole project, and my favorite part was offsetting the support block to allow you to fine tune the height. Well done!
Thanks Pat!
Sometimes I think I've seen all the woodworkers do the same thing, then I see a new video from you and everytime, I'm genuinely amazed. Mike I know there are alot of great woodworkers but i think you are the most influential to me. Thanks for what you do.
Thank you. That is very kind to say.
I had a momentary lapse of reason while watching this. Nice video! And an important lesson - practice and try out fun joinery on shop furniture.
Thank you. Using shop fixtures as practice is really a good way to go, very low risk if it goes awry. Momentary lapse of Reason is a great album.
You put a lot of 'work' into the title of this video. Thanks for sharing, always enjoy watching and listening to you make beautiful things.
Ha! I really couldn't come up with anything better.
Daaang Mike. This is a great idea. Especially for someone like me with a super small workspace.
This gizmo will certainly help out in the small shop.
Hi there. I'm new to woodworking and find your videos both helpful and inspiring. My 80 year old mother has taken up making macrame in this our 3rd UK lockdown. I watched this vid and made two of these stands for mum. She uses them to hold the dowels as she works on her latest project. These were the first mortise and tenons joints I've made. Thanks for the inspiration. Keep up the good works.
That really neat, thank you for sharing. Good job with the mortise and tenons.
Great idea. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thank you, my pleasure.
Mike, you are making me rethink the need for a band saw over a table saw as a first purchase!
Great video and instruction. Thank you.
Thank you. If you are doing a lot of solid wood processing, bandsaws are just great. If you are doing bigger stuff and sheet goods, table saws start to look better.
I had a lengthy apprenticeship in my dad's pattern shop. An Ertl pedal tractor was my "tool" of choice. Other than the typical circles I would occasionally drag a scrap board and clean up the planer chips. Sitting on the hood the seat became my mini forklift to haul stuff from the front to to back of the shop. Beautiful work, shop, and family. Chamfered base edges and sighting the tool rest to lathe bed are the type of techniques that many workers miss out on unless they spend years of low speed tricycle riding in the shop.
Sounds like you had a great experience. Hopefully my little guy with think the same when he's older.
Have really enjoyed watching your shopmate grow up. More importantly, I really appreciate all the detail you give to every step you take. That makes all you do so important, not for others but for you. You continue to make us all better woodworkers by setting the bar. By the way I made a clone of your router table. I hope as close to yours as I could get it. bottom line, it is a wonderful addition to my shop. Thanks, thanks, thanks
Thank you for the kind words. Keep watching and I'll keep posting.
Love it. So simple in design but so useful to use.
Thank you.
Great adaption of a deadman into a stand. Cool! I have two deadman on my bench so the span is less than the 4 feet of my bench so this would be a good extension. Can't wait to try it.
Thank you. Sounds like you have a great setup.
Really enjoy your videos. I must say, you are very talented and now to hear you are down with Dream Theater...... I am sold. Thanks for sharing your craft.
Thank you. I am a big fan of Dream Theater, such a great band.

Indeed. Miss Portnoy.
Almost time for the apprentice to get his first dirt bike! Bought my son a Suzuki 50 for his 5th birthday, now he's in the Marines on the other side of the world. It goes fast, and I miss my shop bud.
Funny you mention that, I was just shopping for one of those electric kids bikes made by Oset. Though the noise of a 50 will be missed.
Overtravelx - man I hear you. We have two boys, 24 and 21 now. Used to race motox all the time, the three of us. We have pictures hanging on the wall of the boys when they were little (not moto pix). I often find myself looking at them wondering where the time has gone. Mike, enjoy every day with the apprentice.
@@befmx31 Its been said before, but time sure flys by. I can't wait to go riding with my little guy.
Awesomely simple and elegant. I love you never use the phrase 'shop project'. I know there are times when you make something and need to get it done, but its always a chance to test a new skill or refine an old one. I think the stuff in the background matters as it says a lot about you. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is one of my all time faves. Not a bad cut on the album.
Thank you very much. Things for the shop are the best place to try new things. Low risk, if it ends up looking ugly, no big deal. I totally agree, that is a truly great album.
I always look forward to your videos Mike
Thank you.
Love your work Mike. Always have...
Thank you.
Excellent Work 👍👍👍
Thank you.
Nice addition to the shop. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you.
Very nice build. Love the idea.
Thank you.
amazing as always. hope youre doing well through these crazy times. thanks for the video!
Thank you. Same to you.
Thank you for sharing! Im sure this will become very handy in my work shop!
Thank you.
I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work and stay in the shop and with your family and away from other people stay safe!
Thank you, will do.
Amazing work
Thank you.
A very useful addition for the workshop 😃👌👌👌👌
Indeed.
I've been subscribed to your channel for about a year (I think) and went back and watched a lot of the older videos. I feel like I've seen the Shop Apprentice grow up along with you! Where does the time go, indeed!
Thank you very much. Yes, it seems like goes by at an increasing rate.
Great song! Even better video. Keep them coming. I really enjoy your desire for quality work.
Thank you very much.
Thank you Mike. I think it's useful. I'll do one for my shop too.
Thank you. I think you'll find all kinds of uses for it.
Nicely done 😎thank you for sharing
Thank you.
Thanks for making the support stand. It has been added to my extremely long to do list.
Thank you Russ.
Thank you Mike !!
My pleasure.
Great project...as always.
I''m a huge DT fan too, I saw them live 6 times in Buenos Aires every time they come down here.
Congralutions...i really learn a lot with your videos. Greetings from Argentina.
Thank you. DT is awesome. I have seen them several times as well, they never disappoint.
Great song rec. That entire album is awesome.
That is a very good album.
Nice to have a brief overview of what you’re building right up front. More times than not I skip to the end to see what we’re building then start back at the beginning to watch if it’s something I’m interested in.
Thank you. I think its nice to have a quick overview upfront.
Dude you’re a genius. Not sure where you always come up with these ideas. But brilliant. Thank you.
Thank you. This was one of those little on the job things I learned.
Thanks for the "Common Man" tip about the hand screw vise! I've almost picked one or two up at Lowes in the past.
Thank you. They are really neat tools.
Thank you I'll be making a few of these
Thank you.
Thanks Mike, I'm sure I need on of these for my shop.
Thank you. Yes you do.
Very well made video as always! A true pleasure to watch. And a good looking bench slave. Thanks for sharing 😀
Thank you.
Great video Mike!
Thanks Cory!
Love it, buddy. What a cool stand.
Thank you sir.
You did a fine job, you learned, we do it by traditional techniques
Thank you very much.
Thanks again Mike for a tremendous video. Very nice presentation, great design (simple, but exquisite) and sweet woodworking skills....major network corporations cannot entertain me as well as you. Please continue to do what you do.
Thank you very much for the kind words. Keep watching and I'll keep posting.
Great video. I will be making one of these,
thank you
Thank you. I hope you find it useful.
Excellent video.
Thank you.
Nice project! I love the hand screw tip. They are awesome for holding parts vertically on the bench. I have drilled holes in my hand screws that allow me to bolt them to my secondary workbench (the one I don’t mind bolting stuff to).
Thank you Dave. Hand screws are one of the most useful tools.
great job ! something that will work great in my shop. thanks
Thank you. I think you will find this gizmo useful.
Lovely skill.
Thank you.
Awesome i build one in the early 80s also I was thought to use two hand screw together we also use on job site 2 2X4X20 with 2X4x9 on each side glued and screwed leaving a grove in middle 2'' with a wedge made out of 2X4 you can mortise hinges and plane 13/8 &13/4 thick doors
Thank you. The hand screw thing is a good idea.
Nice work Mike.
Thank you Lou.
Brilliant idea!
Thank you.
Brilliant. I like it mucho.
Thanks Steven.
Hey Mike , just wanted to say thanks for all the great videos , I appreciate your style of humor and find your workshop ( The Board Room) most desirable . lol have a good one . . .
Thank you, I am fortunate to have my shop.
Funeral for a friend? Dream Theater? The both of them? I'm in. I'm enjoying these song recommendation, the sub titles in the video, odd pronunciations, and incredible craftsmanship. Great video. Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thanks for that. Good job👍
Thank you.
Thanks for giving a history lesson to all who are in the modern era and will go out buy something than make it
Sometimes, its good to buy, but somethings should be built. Building this one was a fun project.
It’s called a Bench Slave. First time I ever saw was in a Frank Klausz video many years ago. Nice job as always Mike!!
Thank you. Yup, they also go by a couple other names as well. This is one of those jigs that has been used for a long long time.
Love the White Castle t-shirt
Thats a good one for sure.
Excellent!
Many thanks!
My late father, who apprenticed in Poland as a young buck in the 1930's, referred to these as a "boy", an obvious reference to an apprentice. He made two exactly like yours over 40 years ago. I use one, gave the other to my son.
Great story. Part of the reason I wanted to make one of these is that it is a traditional tool and I wanted to carry that on.
Awesome job man
Thank you.
Can’t wait to get back in my shop and build four of these...once we can go outside again.
But, man! So much blood, everywhere! I thought it was just the mortised until I saw it on the tenons too!
Thank you. Yeah, I was bleeding pretty good during this build, I was in a huge hurry to get this done.
Excellent...no need to say more.. Thanks
Thank you very much.
😂👍 nice workshop jig and a funny video.
Thank you.
Excellent project. Even better music recommendation!
Thank you. That is such a great song.
Hey mike
Just a shout out from Dublin, Ireland
Love the videos and the humour 😂 keep up z good work and thanks for the tips
Thank you. Happy St. Patrick's day.
Some beautiful workmanship there dude 👍
Thank you very much.
I find myself repeatedly watching your videos and pulling out little tidbits of information every time. Especially as I approach new builds or have time for shop projects.
I'd also like to recommend one of my favorite 11 minute songs; Deathbed by Relient K. It's a good story both lyrically and musically.
Thank you very much. I'll give that one a listen.
I'll wager you were once a fan of Supertramp. Win or loose that bet - I still love this support stand. A must have in any shop!
Once? Still am, Supertramp is great.
Great video smart idea
Thank you.
It is always a happy day when you publish a video and Rossi is burning tires in the Boardroom.
Thank you. Yeah, the little guy is a speed demon.
Nice work Mike! Thanks for sharing the video with us💖👌👍😎JP
Thank you, my pleasure.
Your very welcome Mike! Have a great weekend!😎
Nice trade tips. And Valentino Rossi zipping through is awesome. 🤣🤣
Thank you. He is a little speed demon.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY shop apprentice!
Thank you.
Never seen one before. Very cool!
Thank you. Its a useful shop fixture for sure.
I have a couple old wood clamps that use that style of mechanism for adjustment and I’ve thought of making more, I’ve never thought of making a stand with one though.
Its a useful little gizmo for sure.
Thanks for providing 15 minutes of solid entertainment while I'm stuck inside for next six weeks!
You are welcome. I better knock out a bunch of videos quick for everyone to watch.
@@MikeFarrington great idea Mike as it's bigger parts of the world who might profit from this idea
Great content, subscribed and liked, thanks Mike.
Thank you. Great to have you onboard.
You could also add some type of threaded adjuster on top of the stop block for vertical dial in. And nice to see that the shop assistant has his own company vehicle.
Thats a good idea. Thank you. Ha! Company vehicle, I like that one.
Cool vid. I have the same thing except i use old floor fan bases. I have 2 both of which i found on the side of the road. They have infinite adjustment and are plenty strong to support any pieces i've put on them.
A fan base would work well. Good idea.
Wow! What a talented fella you are. You make me feel like I should throw all my tools in the bin. I'm a beginner, so I spent most, if not all of the video with my mouth open. I like to watch your videos to see nice work produced and try in the process to pick up some tips to add to my empty toolbox (pun intended). Keep the videos coming.
Thank you, will do.
fantastic Mike! next time I have a solid week off to make a shop stand (that's how long this would take me) I'll be building it... but its a pleasure watching you work!
Thank you.
When your shop apprentice starts dragging a knee in the corners like your reference at 4:15 did, it’ll be time to upgrade his ride. GO!!!!!!!!
He's almost there. He is already dropping his shoulders into turns.
Great video🤘🏼 I can’t decide which was my favorite part, your “trade-secret tip” or that you brought up the Change of Seasons album. Killer album, that introduced me to Funeral for a Friend and amazed me with their Zeppelin medley. Thanks for the video. I’m going to go load the album on to my phone.
Thank you. That is a great album, as is Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.
great video! i realised that i don’t use the ripping guide on my bandsaw as much as i should. i have a removable leather pad on the support piece of my „banknecht“ to protect already smoothed edges.
Thank you. The leather pad is a good idea.
Excellent band, Dream Theater 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Yes!
Very cool stand! I’m subscribed now!
Thank you, great to have you onboard.
Just like Rossi. Nice.
Ha! Go VR46.
Very nice. 👍
Thank you.
I can cut joints first time with a tenon saw but it took me years to learn and occasionally I may need to clean up with a chisel for a clean finish.
My grandfather who was an arts and craft carpenter/furniture maker would always cut with saw and then joints with a plane to get clean fits.
With accurate marking and a good skilled hand it can be done. I have found it faster to just creep up on the fit. Normally it takes one or two adjustments to get it just right. Either way, as long as you are enjoying your work.
Wailin’ the mallet. I love it
Ha! Thank you.
