It'll turn out sh*te. Guarenteed. I strongly suggest you search for the other thread about painting the edges before you do that - it gives you multiple options on how to achieve an edge surface capable of giving a "high gloss" finish. If you go ahead regardless and just slap on some...

+1 for one of these - I bought one earlier in the year and it's been great so far, much better than relying on my Lidl shop vac (which is still good - but can't cope with my planer / thicknesser at all).

... 19 minutes - that has to be a record.

As per my above comment - the way I did it the bench will resist racking on both axis without the need for a diagonal brace - I also made my legs tapered outwards on the long axis to further mitigate any possibility of racking around - I forget the angle but it's noticable, eyeballing it it's...

Still prone to movement, especially if you are prone to letting the plane blade go past it's useful edge and applying more pressure than needed to shoot - I prefer the method of securing one end with a screw so it pivots, use a square to "sort of" set it, clamp the other end, grab a bit of thin...

Far too complicated, why make life harder? - If you don't want to go down the "through bolt and 2 nuts" route you might want to consider how I did mine.. I used these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Screws/THREA ... B00JKIQ5C0 Got mine from the bay - I used M10's, but then my legs are chunky...

So the bottom of the mortise is also angled to match? Very clever and sturdier than the way I did mine which was long bolts through the headboard legs and nuts in the rails, one has already blown out through *ahem* activity, and the other is at risk of stripping the thread.

Nice work, though why am I reminded of "space invaders"?

There doesn't seem to be that many holes, if that photo is indicative of the rest - I think buring what would otherwise be perfect timber for a bench is very wasteful, just treat it with the syringe method and keep an eye on it for frass. (sawdust as they exit... IF they exit) I bought Yew that...

Well according to my mate "Dave the builder" who's been around this area for 30 years and is a bit of a history buff, it was a cheap filler - some of it was an offshoot of the coal mines around Bristol and the rest was from the sweepings of coal suppliers warehouses - a cheap readily available...

Everyone has to start somewhere my friend - you think those glossy youtubers with all the trimmings you seem to love had previous careers in television or other media? There's one other factor you are forgetting - a lot of amateur woodworkers will be put off by content made by said "glossy...

Oh good tip! - I'll have to remember that one - might be a velux in my future to replace a rotting cast iron frame at my folks house.

Have PM'd re bessy copy pipe clamps, ty.

Be careful who you say that to Jacob, you might end up being killed by a dyslexic axe murder. Although it does seem crazy for that price - Custards points are spot on, if you can, why not? Not sure about the "15 minutes to make" though, but that speaks more to my lack of abilities. What do...

They look to me like mutant chickens on rollerskates - a bit disconcerting..... I have to say the balance system, so they only need 2 wheels to facilitate turning on the spot is pretty damn good.

Thanks for clarifying that - I was trying to work out why the fingers themselves were being cut diagonally front to back.

Apprently Jeremy Clarkeson published his details years ago to prove no-one could do anything with them.... until someone set up a DD to a charity from his account. Far as I know he let it continue. just keep an eye on it I guess.

I commented on that 'ible but I see it's been deleted. Some people can't take constructive criticisim. All I did was suggest he mounted the lamp onto the wooden base at the corner instead of the saw itself.

Rorshach - my apology was not aimed for you, but the wider audience. However as you've now shown you like to score points off me, pretty much proves your previous denial to be false. The very fact that you posted "he's a waste of space" (paraphrased) immediately after jacobs post calling me...

Late to the party but here's my moxon mini bench, sits stop my main bench for the rare occasion its needed. I need to remake the end vice so it's as wide as the bench, as they were made seperately at different times.
