Thanks!

Thanks! I'm quite proud of my shop, it's taken me several years to get here. And I'm glad you like the walnut edging! I've had a fair amount of garbage thrown at me for that, haha. And glad you like the glitches.. I think that's the most valuable to thing to share. Learning how everything "should go" is pretty easy to find.. the problem is we all make mistakes, and if you don't have the tool box to fix them - that's when things get really frustrating fast.

Thanks! I really appreciate that.

You absolutely can! And if you have a straight edge to run your router on you can also use it to joint an edge. I did a video on my slab sled here: https://www.ycmt2.com/slab-sled/

Going from 2x material to 1x is resawing. The best way to do that is with a bandsaw. but you can do a 2x6 on most table saws.

The molded plastic bit as ordered from Houzz, making something like that is beyond my skill set right now! Thanks!

Thanks! At first I wasn't sure how I'd care for it, but I really dig the contrast. Thanks, Bruce!

Thanks and thank you!

That you very much, that’s very kind!

Nice shirt, Bruce! Also, sweet project! I dig the simplicity and use of accent colors.

You're right, I didn't think of that, but it certainly would. Thanks!

Freaking awesome.

Thanks! I really appreciate that.

Thank you very much! This was not my first project. As you can tell I'm more of a hybrid woodworker myself, but I appreciate the skill that goes into being a traditionalist.

Thanks man!

That's definitely true if the concept of portable means you can easily pick it up. I went a different way with this one... the portability hear comes from the ability to quickly take it down to major components, move it compactly, and reassemble fast enough that the time taken to breakdown and assemble is made by the extra weight and sturdiness. I wouldn't use this as a daily bench in a shop. For me it's an event bench. Something I can easily store, transport, and set up on site. Yet it's sturdy enough I can do pretty aggressive work on it for hours.

Many thanks! I'll definitely be doing more on my upcoming project and might do some of my old projects too!

Thanks! I'll definitely be posting more stuff here.

Thanks! I think you'll be pleased with some of the stuff I have coming up next, but then again I am pretty biased about my projects! Haha.

Thanks! I appreciate that, hope you enjoy what I have coming up.

Awesome build and sweet photos!

Great! I'm glad it'll work well for you. Please share photos after you finish!

Thank you!

Thanks! I appreciate that.
