I've been using a folding Black & Decker work bench for 39 years and have built several instruments and dozens of repairs. It works ok and I can move it outside to do sanding and routing jobs.

This is my current workspace in my garage at home. The bench is built into shelves made from 5"x2 1/2" pallet wood with a 1/2" plywood work surface (they were big pallets that timber cranes were deliv...

That looks like a hefty piece of furniture @steveadams. I like the neat touches too - covering the screw holes on a workbench is attention to detail! The top looks almost too nice to work on though. ...

Yeah, that’s the kind of thing I want to build. I want lots of vices though as well I've got loads of vices, Boo! Just ask my therapist 🤣

Cheers for the encouragement @boo & @tv101. Love the cat @boo. 🙂🎶🎸🙏

I remember the thread where you were putting that together @Boo! Makes me feel a little guilty that I don't make more/better use of all the space that I've got here! When we bought this place, it had ...

Cheers @Boo - given half a chance, I'd be spending a lot more time "next door"!

@Russ ... In 2007, I went on my first Bailey workshop course. Before doing that course, if someone gave me a saw and a piece of wood, and asked me to make 2 pieces of wood .... something generally wen...

I begining to think that I'm getting in way out of my depth here. I've got a long way to go. 😬😁 🙏🎸🙂🎶

There's a lot of nice work there @Clinton - very nice work! Here's a couple of mine ... One Oak shoe cupboard, built to fit in the space in the porch; Attachment : DSC_2050.JPG Attachment : ...

I build furniture as well for people that need them out of reclaimed lumber. Here are a few tables, benches, dressers and such. I know I have a video of my diy workbench. Cannot seem to find it. At...

I started to watch the livestreams last year just as the channel achieved 5000 subscribers, very nearly up to 6000 now - well done Mark and Carol, I promote your site, forum and courses where I can - ...

Yes I just received an order yesterday. It took about 21/2 weeks to arrive but there was no vat or import duty to pay. Goods value was about $130. I think I got away with it this time! Usually 20% vat...

@russ Sadly problems with buying and selling from Europe were all predictable to people who had experience and knew how the system worked but politicians glossed over the truth because they are never ...

It all seems a bit hit or miss when buying from America, not just from Stewmac. Sometimes there are import taxes and sometimes not. I have noticed that the cost of imports from Europe are now about fo...

UPDATE Well I have gotten about as far as I can go for now till it warms up a bit, its about 19F here now and not looking like its going to warm up for a bit. Ill probably make a veneer for the headst...

Laminated necks just look great and, so long as you can get them glued up properly, are actually a great way of building very strong and stable necks from smaller sections of timber. What a fantastic ...

Lookingbteal good

Looking real good I meant

This is really generous of you Mark and Carol and it seems the wrong way around somehow, we should be giving you stuff for the livestreams and knowledge sharing....but count me in of course!
