Firstly a massive THANKYOU to Nick from ‪@pedullastudio‬ for both inspiring me to push myself on this build as well as allowing me to steal some of his footage.

This #workbench #build took me over 4 months and has been done entirely with #palletwood. The decision to make my own bech has been one of the best, most rewarding experiences so far in my short woodworking journey and I now truely believe that it should be law that every new wood worker needs to build a workbench.

For everyone watching thankyou for taking the time to support me. If you haven’t already, please consider subscribing as this really helps me continue to make more content for you all.

  • This and the Dainer Made channel has convinced me that Aussie pallets are rather different to what I have access to here in the UK!
  • @bushdog4163
    I've never seen pallets made of wood this nice in the UK.
  • @johndorian2670
    As a Canadian, I am always so jealous of Aussie hardwoods. They're so beautiful, even the stuff they use for pallets apparently.
  • I too suffer depression and have started back into woodworking. I created my first project yesterday(garden basket), which was easy and quick, but it gave me a huge confidence boost!

    A handy trick to making dowel plugs easy to install, is to pop them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. They’ll shrink up a little and go straight in. Then as they absorb moisture from the surrounds, they’ll swell back up and be tight as
  • @vmoutsop
    I've never seen pallets with that nice of hard wood. You must have hit the big time with those.
  • You made two statements: 1 - you are good at woodworking, 2 - you are good at making videos. Well done!
  • @kuma9069
    For a self-confessed "newbie chippy", worrier & procrastinator, your hard work has defo paid off. He/she is an absolute beaut, amigo and will be for years to come !!! Oh, and I'm just crazy about your "Mallet of Thor". You were born for this... Greetings from Barcelona 🤠🌟🌿

    A good woodworker knows how to build what they envision and great woodworker knows how to cover up all their mistakes.
  • @kylehale2491
    That is the most beautiful pallet I’ve ever seen 😯 you sure don’t see them like that often in the states!
  • @BrucePierson
    Here's a tip: Round off the corners of your tenons to match the radius of the Forstner bit so you don't have to chisel the corners of the mortise.
  • @stevehedges1158
    Love the work bench would not believe that was palate wood. When you finish a project like that, as well as you have it inspires you to build more projects. Well done.
  • @timshackleford
    Great vid and bench mate. Love your dry sense of humour.
  • @DennisFahlstrom
    I’ve been woodworking 60+ years and I’m admiring your work bench and really admiring your growing skills at making such a quality bench from pallets. Your video skills are excellent also. I hope to see more of your projects in the future. A piece of very good advice on buying tools is always buy the best quality your budget can absorb. If you do, chances are good that as a home hobbyist your tools will last your lifetime. If you buy cheap, you will find yourself buying replacements frequently and you will come out frustrated with the cheap ones self destructing at an inopportune time. A good quality tool will also give you pleasure and satisfaction in using it.
  • @gregmassek
    This is the first video of your’s that I’ve seen. Thank you for being vulnerable and open about your journey to woodworking. I find myself identifying with your story. New sub!
  • @sphynx5114
    Keep it up, same here I just find my self and just starting to like the wood working projects. I just finished my DIY garden benches and table. I am actually a Dairy Farmer and having a month of time Off and decide to do something worth and enhanced my other skills.
  • @BGP369
    Simple tip 2 - for Makita 2012NB owners, unplug, raise the mouth to max. take a damp rag and pass it over both rubber rollers several times. plug it back in and turn it on for a moment to have the rollers rotate. repeat the rag portion. In addition, you will get far smoother sliding if you also apply some paste wax to the sled surface. Nothing fancy is necessary. a 3 to 1 Mineral Oil to Wax (bee wax works fine for this as it s soft).
  • Really nice bench mate and the video was very well done! Good stuff 👍😁🇦🇺🇦🇺
  • @neilmacmusic
    nice humour in your vid too! Hey i have a MORTICE solution for your next bench: Build the holes into your top before you glue all the top slats together-simples!
  • @ChuckUnderFire
    The honesty in this video and approachability of the content is comforting. It’s not so expert (no offense) as to put me off because it’s not something I feel like I can relate with.
