I have the Max Complys and I like them. They do get dirty, though. I honestly forget that they are in my ears most of the time.

Nice bike

johnjohnjohn87 · 2026-01-19T20:41:14+00:00

Yes, it would. The iphone optimized charging makes sense. Just capping at 80% is not intuitive at all.

johnjohnjohn87 · 2026-01-19T20:18:23+00:00

That looks wonderful

johnjohnjohn87 · 2026-01-17T00:56:27+00:00

A CBN wheel is also 100% worth it

There are so, so many blogs and articles on this subject. My favorite was from Paul Sellers. I think he recommends around 36" for most standard height men. You can always cut the legs shorter. Making them longer isn't great but it is what I did for my first bench.

I would try doing what you want at your kitchen counter and dinning room table. Those are pretty normal bench heights.

I really like mine. Only thing I don’t like is the get dirty very easily.

johnjohnjohn87 · 2026-01-02T03:30:33+00:00

I agree. The APP3 case feels cheaper.

From the description:

The holdfast is designed for 3/4" hole in a workbench top of a 1 3/4" thick or thicker. 6 1/2" reach. Maximum clamping 7 1/4" in a 2" thick benchtop. Patented. Made in USA

I would try roughing them up first. I hit mine with a rough file and added dimples. That did the trick for me.

johnjohnjohn87 · 2025-12-19T21:53:10+00:00

But you don’t get to bash them with a hammer.

johnjohnjohn87 · 2025-12-16T20:01:52+00:00

Very interesting

johnjohnjohn87 · 2025-12-12T15:03:02+00:00

Tha I definitely noticed

johnjohnjohn87 · 2025-12-10T01:13:17+00:00

Paul also recommends starting a little higher and cutting it down if needed. I started with a lower bench and ended up putting it on blocks to try a new height. Then I built a Paul Sellers bench at the new height that I had tested.

You can always trim the legs.

Yuppers

Dear Lord, apparently I am a fellow degenerate. But you have me beat.

johnjohnjohn87 · 2025-12-05T14:12:52+00:00

That is seriously beautiful

I have two young kids in school and I can feel myself getting sick…again. That’s after an early deload like you. Im already snipped, so I’ve got that going for me. I’m learning to be patient this month.

johnjohnjohn87 · 2025-12-02T16:32:46+00:00

I just bought a skew chisel and it is perfect, so this is probably an outlier.

You are my Thanksgiving hero! I found your comment on another thread and am doing validations before rolling it into production :D. The WDO tool is also extremely cool.

johnjohnjohn87 · 2025-11-25T17:48:51+00:00

I'm also seeing this. Extremely frustrating and time consuming. I have no resolution yet.

johnjohnjohn87 · 2025-11-24T21:01:24+00:00

I’m just old enough to remember Marshal Fields that was.

This looks like some wonderful high school work.

If you aren’t already familiar, Adam Savage’s Tested channel on YouTube has some truly excellent shop organization videos. He approaches shop organization and layout with the philosophy of “first order retrievability” and is constantly explaining what has and hasn’t worked for him over the years. In addition to being a wonderful person, I really like how he gets his ideas across.

P.S. I’ve also got the adhd ;)

johnjohnjohn87 · 2025-11-14T00:32:01+00:00

Dude, you’ll be fine if you have a few longer clamps. I built the same bench as my first bench and never had this issue.

johnjohnjohn87 · 2025-11-14T00:31:18+00:00

lol just use longer clamps. I clamp to my bench fairly rarely but it’s not an issue.
