Simply amazing...he only used screws to apply some final trim!

The best I could do was this workbench; 2 hours work and $80 outlay....

Thanks Angelo....all you need is the photo to make one; pretty sturdy as well.

Didn't mean to jack your thread Brandon, but I just couldn't help myself!

Be safe,

so amazing!

It's too bad there's almost no need for this level of craftsmanship these days.

Even the last lines of the video are actually kind ironic and intriguing. He "hopes one day his kids will look at the old dusty work bench and hear their fathers voice", they won't have to! They'll watch the video on youtube and literally hear their fathers voice.

Anyhow, that work bench is absolutely amazing, it would be complete overkill for anything I would ever need, but I would 100% hire this guy to build me a dining table or kitchen island.

Yea I must have watched it 3 or 4 times just for the background stuff alone. Not a bad looking workshop as well.

All done in just a little over 10 minutes. Imagine what he could accomplish if he just slowed down a little
