    I love the way your son just stood all quite watching his dad. I can tell he looks up to you. What a blessing. Nice to include the Kids as you did. Nice workbench also.

    Got all my wood, now I just need to get a table saw, wood planar, pocket hole rig and a set of drill bits 😭😭
  • @edadan
    The real lesson to be learned here is that dad is spending time with his kids and teaching them how to build stuff with their own hands. Good job dad!

    Build a $100 workbench. Step 1, buy $300 worth of clamps. Step 2, buy a $500 planer...
  • @frank41209
    Absolutely great...unfortunately I don't have a workshop with thousands of dollars in equipment like you have.

    I built a work bench similar to this 30 years ago. Had a bunch of junk 2x4 used lumber that I used. One suggestion would be to put 1/4" plywood on top of the 2x4 top. That way when it gets in bad shape just remove the top 1/4" and put a new piece on and you have a new top!!
  • I know someone already mentioned this but can't help but to comment on it as well. I really appreciate that your kids are able to get involved with what you were building and helping Dad. They obviously enjoy being with you and helping instead of playing video games. Hats off to you for including your kids and teaching them how to work with their hands and building things. We need a lot more of that!

    I just finished making your workbench & it looks great. I watched your video about 10-20 times, bought Planer, pipe clamps, Armor Auto Jig, etc. I'm very happy with the table & excited to get my garage wood shop up & running. I just need to attach the top to the legs (& I paused the video at 7:40 to see the Armor Auto Jig holes on the long end of the side stretchers). Thanks again for the video. VERY helpful. And fun project to do.
  • I'm a teacher. Your kids were just standing around. It looked like they wanted to help. Next time, get them more involved! Great video and bench!!!😊👍

    I really enjoyed watching this video and seeing this sturdy workbench come together. Hell of a lot cheaper than anything you can buy from a manufacturer, probably stronger too! And it’s literally the exact size that you wanted. The perks of doing it yourself!!
  • @kleptosepto1848
    I'll tell ya, I'm most impressed that your young daughter and son were involved and watching. Very cool to see. Especially the way things are nowadays with young people and their obsession with internet and social media. Good dad and great table.
  • @JoyconJames
    Production value of the video is really good. Enjoyable to watch. And it was interesting to see how you made this workbench by making a table by lining up 2x4's together in that way. Super sturdy and heavy table. Awesome.
  • @wilzacj3297
    Best part of this is your son soaking in all that his dad knows, so glad to see you involve him, it will shape him forever. Well done bench.
  • pretty good see your family work together and help you. I have 2 kids (3 and 8 years old) and is impossible to work without them.
  • To see your kids taking such a interest was amazing God bless lol good job on the bench too
  • @DoItYourselfDad
    Virtual high five fr getting your kid in the shop with you! Good job Dad!
