    Finally a practical solution for a relatively simple bench design! One of the better presentation on you tube that doesn't fall under the category of click-bait. Thank you.
  • @cedmondsII
    I built a "workbench" like this for my 90+ lb "outdoor tool" and it definitely is more than helpful for moving the "tool" around the garage. Great build!!!!!!!!
  • @alankohn6709
    I'm glad you did this. It drives me up the wall when you go to a wood working channel a they go "You can build this cheap and easy work bench at home " then proceed to use ten grand worth of professional table saws, jointers, planers and other assorted pro power tools which let me assure you I don't have at home I don't know abut anyone else. If I was going to build your Kayak rack / work bench is I might add some bracing to stop it racking overtime
  • @wandrinju2305
    By far the BEST simple table built I have come across. And believe me, I have watched hundreds...
  • This is a great design that can easily be modified for whatever size someone wanted. Longer, shorter, taller, narrower, it can easily be adapted to suit one's needs. I especially like the idea of letting the wood do the work of supporting the weight. You showed that it doesn't have to be complex to get the job done. One also doesn't need to be a structural engineer to figure out how to make it work, which your design so easily showed. Wood on top of wood will outperform the shear strength of ANY screw one might use on a project like this.

    Nice job! Interesting that the grey kayak had to be registered.
  • @guybowers9094
    That truly would make a nice workbench. You will need to do a video of you on a fishing trip sometime
  • @ResonantFreak
    Great looking bench and thanks for providing the plans. I think with a bit of modification to make the bottom 'shelf' not as wide so a chair could slide right up and maybe make it a little taller, this would make a great electronics / crafts workbench.
  • @jt9498
    That is one well built "workbench"! Thanks for the free plans!
  • @tomsdreamshopworx
    Nicely built! I’ve done many half laps with a circular saw I always start with the accurate cut first, so that I don’t go past it by accident while I’m quickly making the interior cuts.
  • @DGALVIN45
    Great build John, love the content brother 💯
  • @johnstup4479
    Great looking "workbench" John! Many uses for it too!
  • @makermark67
    That's a solid cart/bench/whatever you want to use it for, lol. And I'm pretty sure I've got the same truck sitting in my driveway. Love the content as always. Thanks!
  • @madwilliamflint
    Nice Build! I love the bait and switch. You're right. I would absolutely NOT have watched a "kayak cart build" video. o7
  • @LunafactionRIP
    Yeah man, appreciate the video as always. I'll be remixing some of the ideas presented here for my upcoming workbench build.
