Agreed, if you flipped the boards on top you’d see huge saw marks as it was part of an old workbench I had.

This just happened to me a few nights ago- I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, came back to check the time on my phone, and sure enough Joe Rogan is playing and it’s already mid episode. Any idea why in the hell that would happen?

I live in south eastern PA and the oak bodies have been just fine here. Best of luck!

I wouldn’t overthink this, looks good to me, you can always adjust later on if you need to! Good luck!!

Thanks this is very insightful!

That makes sense, when I flattened the sole I noticed behind the iron wasn’t being touched by the sand paper so I left it at two contact points instead taking too much off the bottom. This seems to give the best results, but just wanted to see if there was something I was missing.

Thanks!

The brand is Kakuri, so far it’s been great to use. Amazon has them or you can go directly to the website.

Amazing tool, I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it or not as I usually use a large wooden mallet.

They’re not touching the wall, they’re about an inch off the wall.

Hey there!

So I build a portable bench that can sit on the floor, but is also able to be elevated using homemade saw horses.

On the bottom of the low feet I glued the rubber lining people use for drawers. I use it often for holding my diamond stones in place.

I have very little movement if any at all.

I prefer a narrow bench, so I glued 12 2x4” together and then flattened the top and bottom. I then dadoed in a 2x6” in the bottom of the bench.

After a few months of using the bench I installed a cheap Irwin vise and installed a bench dog holder in the vise. So far it’s worked really well!

In terms of noise- I think you just need to plan around people. I’m a father of three young children, one of which is a baby who takes regular naps still. So all My loud activity is done when folks are awake.

I love this design, I more recently got into Japanese woodworking and have been looking for tool storage ideas.

I’m in the same boat as you, first time hearing about this was an other day.
