Today we're gonna make a workbench

When I started contemplating the idea of creating a YouTube channel, three years ago, the very

first video I imagined to post was about me building a workbench.

That project never happened, until now.

Of course I took inspiration from many other workbenches out there on other maker's shops

and I decided to go with a very sturdy split top not so huge but still very heavy workbench.

So I went to my local lumber store and bought a whole bunch of hard maple boards that I

asked them to joint, plane and cut into smaller pieces.

So I started by observing and placing them together the way I found to look best to create

the tops.

After having them arranged, I started the big glue up.

And I wasn't sure about how much glue should I apply so I ended up putting way too much

glue and that resulted in huge squeeze outs.

But well, I preferred to have any gaps filled with glue than filled with air.

I applied just a little bit of clamping pressure at first and then clamped some blocks with

packing tape to the ends to try to level up the components and finally when turning the

rest of the clamps a little bit more, a little bit more until they were super tightened.

I collected the excess glue from the top side and allowed for about 24 hours before unclamping

everything.

Some boards had big snipes from the planner at the lumber store so I had to re planed

them before gluing up the second half on the top.

These pieces were a bit of a nightmare to move around as they were very heavy for me

but I manage a few ways to do it.

I decided to make a basic longboard just by screwing 4 wheels on a piece of the thickest

plywood I had and of course these wheels are not ideal as they are terrible to move around

and super weak, but that's what I had on hand and it did work in the end.

Here I started working on the base structure and this time applied the right amount of

glue.

I wanted to get the best look possible from these boards so I observed them carefully

and kept the curly grain pieces for the bottom stretchers as they will be more visible than

the top ones.

I am not a huge fan of crazy wood grains and I would probably never make a piece of furniture

for myself using it, but for a work place I think it's nice to try it out.

To joint the pieces I gave a shot to this Beadlock Pro joinery kit from Rockler.

This jig can create lose tenon joinery just by drilling holes.

It's a strong jig, all made out of metal and can be used with several sized inserts.

Here I am using the 1/2" kit since it is the biggest one.

It has these white lines that you can align with your work piece but the lines are a little

too thick so to achieve a better precision I ended up aligning it always to the outer

side of my pencil line.

You jut drill the holes fitting the drill bit on the metal guide and then move the guide

to the other position and drill only on the alternating holes.

I wish I had a vise already to make this job easier.

This is the 1/2" Tenon stock that will fit the wavy shape holes I've just created.

The kit also comes with a rectangular guide so after drilling your holes, you can chisel

out the remaining material and use your own regular shaped tenons.

After making a dry assembly, I got a bit nervous because then I couldn't remove some of the

tenons that were so perfectly fitted, so I recommend you sanding the tenons a little

bit before jumping into the dry test.

I made a rabbet just on the bottom stretchers in case I decide to install a shelf after

the workbench is fully assembled and I always prefer the router table because I can get

a very clean finish.

To secure the tops to the base I will be making some elongated holes to allow for wood movement.

Finally it was time to glue the base and yes, some of the tenons didn't receive glue on

one of the sides because I couldn't remove them as I explained before but I think it's

going to be just fine.

I forgot to make the long stretcher mortices on one of the sides and at this point I couldn't

fit the jig so I had to remove the backer piece and use a couple of clamps to secure

it in plane.

Again working out my muscles to bring this heavy animals up in the base.

There was no way for me to joint the sides of the tops so I just run the plunge saw to

define a straight line and finished it with a hand plane.

At this point I could finally cut the end in two passes and flip it over to make more

two passes.

It's time to install the quick release bench vise and first we cleaned the protective grease

a little bit.

Then I extended the front face so I can actually insert the vice rods into something.

I followed the instructions from this video so I won't go into details on this one.

Ok, so vise installation done and now I can put the tops in place.

The vise jaw needs to be flushed with the top and this seemed to take forever.

somehow I didn't seem to be able to take thick shavings, maybe it's because this

is a smoothing plane?

I don't know but I adjusted the plane mouth to be as open as possible and the blade was

freshly sharpened and still not getting thick shavings.

Maybe it's me not having enough force to push down the hand plane.

Anyway, the next step was to flatten the entire surface and make both tops coplanar and levelled

and again I followed a video from The Wood Whisperer on this matter.

I went out and bough this pieces of steel because I couldn't find any perfectly straight

edge that could work around here.

So I built the same jig that Mark did on his video but I added two stoppers on the bottom

so I don't hit the metal rails with

the router bit.

I want to be able to use bench dogs and other clamping accessories so I drilled a few 3/4"

holes with this big boy using a scrap block as a template that I previously drilled vertically

using my drill press.

I also want to be able to move the bench around occasionally so I got this strong casters

meant specifically for that purpose.

And the workbench is done for now!

I still need to make the central piece, sand and apply some finish to give it some protection

and well as some other details that will get covered on a future video.

As I made it the same height as my T-track table, I can actually get infinite clamping

possibilities which is so awesome.

Hopefully this anti-fatigue floor mats can help my leg and back problems from now on!

A big shout out to Rockler for being a great supporter and providing me a whole bunch of

tools and accessories for this build as well as to all my Patreon supporters! we just hit

the first goal so I guess that I got some extra work to do soon!

Thanks everyone for watching, I hope you found some useful ideas and inspiration to build

something awesome and I'll catch you guys later.

RGB liquid coolers

Alright, so that's a pretty cool product, right

but now let's jump in to today's video right now it honestly seems to me that this is the

Absolute worst time ever in the entire history of my life in the PC industry to build a PC

It's just gotten completely out of hand completely out of hand doc trying to clean my hand

But it's gotten completely out of hand at first

It was just kind of a little thorn in my foot bothering me

But now it's getting really to be a major pain in my butt for one thing

Almost every person that I know has called me and asked me for something weird to do like they called me up

They get a system quote for me, and then it's like well

How about if I just want the video card now if it was one time I'd be like okay is cool

But this happened like about seven or eight times now where I'm quoting these people like full systems

You know and and trying to square them with a video card, and then they're just like oh

I just want the video card and I wanted this price, and there's really no way that unless I can replace a video card

Right now, but I can give it out for pretty much anything less than what I'm at to pay for it

I mean getting video cards even from the company's Aizu

EVGA MSI gigabyte these companies is getting very very

slim pickings a few guys are able to get them you know, but they are very slim picky and

All the prices on a lot of things are going up up up

Memories going up so that's gonna drive the price of a lot of other stuff up as well and honestly

These video cards. I mean I'm blown by the price like the other day. We did a video

I asked you guys if you guys wanted me to do the Red Devil, but that cards 1,500 bucks for a card that is normally

$600 so that's more than double the face value of that card, and that's complete BS

so many people out there right now around the world and

You know a lot of you guys out there who have likened to make in these rural areas

You know how hard is just to get parts to where you are a lot of countries. Also have super duper high tariffs

so if you know if you go

And you buy this video cars

$1000 and it gets to your country well guess what you may even be paying up to another thousand dollars in tax

I know a lot of companies out there in Brazil my Brazilian friends. Tell me that whenever stuff comes into Brazil

It just costs them a fortune just to pay the duty fees and the tax fees so honestly who can afford

$2,000 for a video card and let's share rich guys, so what is PC gaming now, just turning into something

That's going to be a rich man's game and I said this before

What's really freaking crazy is even consoles are going up?

They're using the excuse of all these cards that are out there to bring up the prices on consoles

So now not only are you getting screwed when you're trying to buy a video card

You're getting screwed if you're trying to buy a console you're getting screwed if you want to buy memory now the only things that seem

To be going down, and I have to admit these two markets

I've been able to find a lot of great price deals, and this is in hard drives

SSDs monitors and peripherals now

Obviously since nobody out there right now unless they've got a bunch of cash can build a good high-end gaming machine of course

Let's drop all the price and everything else so people are probably buying all this stuff up. I'll admit it I have

Lately I bought in like nine or ten hard drives. I've been able to get these two terabyte hard drives

They're just barracudas, but they're really fast or sitting 200 rpm. They last for a good long time. They're solid 50 bucks

I mean who can go wrong for two terabytes of a good drive for 50 bucks so right now

I mean I can get cases cheap hey

nope

I get you know anything like that cheap

Memory is starting to really creep up those so buying good memory is now really expensive as well

So the bottom line here

Is that anything high end PC at this point in time is?

unobtainable unless you have a lot of money or some connection who can hook you up at price because it's just

Ridiculous now. I know that people say hey you can go buy pre-built systems and honestly

I know that people don't like that

But if that is going to be the only way that you can afford to get a video card. Here's what I would suggest

just go out and find the parts that you like and

Then contact one of those pre-built systems and see if they end up - excuse me pre-built system companies

You know there's a lot of them out there that do this, and they could probably build the machine almost how you want it

So I mean unless you the person just absolutely has to have their hands on

You know you're like as a mechanic who wants to fix his own car

You're the doctor who likes to look up your own well

I won't even say that but you know what I mean. You know that's really kind of that's all that's weird thing but

It's laughing so hard

I forgot I was saying but but

Anyways unless you want those people. I mean getting someone to build your you a pre-built system

isn't really that bad of a thing I mean if you want a course there are nine under decays you know you want a a

Water cooler from Swift tech you want a motherboard from a Seuss

You know you want another part from gigabyte they can all build this for you one thing

That's also cool about having a prebuilt is the fact that when these guys build it

They test it they do all the cable management, so you should know that when you're receiving these systems

they're going to be good to go I

Mean, let's face it you can't get the cards

I can't get them

You can't get them really nobody can get them

and

You know I made a video other day where I was talking about you know Nvidia bringing some cards and making these cards now listen

You're telling me because if I keep hearing from everybody Oh Erik

They're not going to buy those cards because they don't game well. What about if a company?

I don't care who the frak. It is. I don't care if it's AMD and video or Bob's cheeseburgers

I don't give a damn if anybody can come up with a mining card for a lower price that does nothing

But mine that would totally alleviate this problem all together if I was a miner

Why would I want to pay $5.99 for a gaming card if I could get me a plain old card for you know?

$300 and that's the problem with the market right now

you can fix that one little problem right there one thing and it's just a simple thing is provide these cards to miners at a

lower price than gaming cards guess what they'll sell a

Shite ton of these cards face it I would buy the cards you would buy the cards if all of us could go out

Excuse me

And we could buy

You know cards that were dedicated for mining that we're going to cost an arm and a leg well

You wouldn't even really worry about trying to resell them once they get broke, and that's another thing. It's really up

You know I'm saying you guys tell me all the time

well

What these guys do is they take the card and?

They mine the card do the cards almost dead and they turn around and sell it on eBay as a normal card

Well if they've almost worn the card out that's like selling a broken car and that's totally utterly uncool and should honestly be illegal

It's not, but it is. It's pretty much selling you a lemon for the price of a diamond, and that's just totally totally

rotten rotten rotten rotten rotten

rotten rotten

So what do you guys think I mean?

I know there are a lot of guys out there like I said before in a lot of these countries that don't have access to

A lot of stuff and for you guys trying to get even a mid-level system is extremely hard, but now

Trying to get a high-end gaming system

You guys literally probably have to sell your house sell your sister and work on the corner doing some crazy stuff for a few months

just to probably able to buy a video card much less the surrounding parts to that system, and honestly I find that very sad and

Discouraging right now. I'm telling you

I've been this PC business since the very beginning let you guys in a little secret when all these companies first

Formed in the beginning there was all

just one company well my dad's an attorney and he was involved with that bringing the businesses over here to America so

Something you guys probably don't know what I'm just going to share with you right now. Hey Zeus gigabyte

MSI all owned by the same corporation

Shocking no. It's true in the beginning

They set up four companies

And they set those companies up to all come against each other because you guys all know in America

We have laws that do not let you naah peláez

You cannot totally monopolize anything at all and rule the market so there. It's gonna come over here as one PC company

It'll be like Intel and there'd be no AMD

So we all know AMD is the counter to Intel well when these guys came here

They split those companies up and actually it's really smart

because they make those companies all compete against each other so just imagine if you owned a taco business right and

So you had four different taco shops?

You owned them all and you made them all compete for better business smart idea right it really is so

Honestly folks I hope things change for not just for me, but for you and everybody out there so that in the future

Things will be better for gamers gaming right now is a pain in the butt

You can really be a console peasant unless you dish out a bunch of money to the prices Justins christmas have over then

Doubled why should they do that it's just?

Gong and passing it down the line. I am really really

Frustrated now. I know some of you people may not like this, but you could always turn to the dark side

Why Safello acquired ICBIT and Cryex to build a stronger crypto exchange - Duration: 1:20.

30 second pitch: What's the 30 second pitch for Safello. Why should people use you to

buy into Bitcoin? We are the safest and easiest way to get into the crypto

economy if you're a European customer. So, what's your sort of roadmap

where you would like to see Safello go now. Is that the next big plan? I

mean, so we just acquired two companies. One is ICBIT which was

the first crypto currency futures platform in the world. In 2016 we

acquired them. They have the order book exchange so a natural progression

is into becoming an order book exchange the second one is Cryex, a company that

raised over 12 million dollars would build an institutional grade crypto

currency exchange. So we see this natural evolutionary path over the coming years

to lead up to that one. 2018 is going to be about better servers, better

pricing, multi crypto support primarily, and we might have a trick or two up our

sleeves.

03 Build A Castle with Lyrics | Far Cry 5 Presents Into the Flames OST - Duration: 3:34.

Gonna build a castle

Gonna build it high

Gonna build it brick by brick

Oh lord the boys don't lie

We're gonna be safe and sound tonight...

Oh lord, the strong don't cry gonna open up the door when the morning light shines in

When the light shines in...

Gonna build a palace

Gonna build it grand...

Gonna build it floor by floor and wall by wall

with our hearts and with our hands

When we step outside into the breeze we'll know our commands

Walk into the garden and we'll live upon this land

and we'll sing

Oh lord the boys don't lie

We're gonna be safe and sound tonight...

Oh lord, the strong don't cry gonna open up the door when the morning light shines in

When the light shines in...

Gonna build it strong...

Gonna built it boat by boat and plaid by plaid

Gonna build it all day long

We're gonna make it through the winter snow 'cause we know right from wrong

A house will still be standing

A guide on how to build a successful membership site and best practices launched - Duration: 1:50.

Well, Micah, one of the reasons we wanted to interview you is our research team has

discovered that you're actually in the process, or that you have actually recently launched

a membership mentoring system, basically a comprehensive guide to helping people to build

and create membership websites, and we believe it's called Membership dot Coach, so not Membership

Coach dot com, but Membership Coach.

One, have you already launched this program, and if so, why did you create it?

So, yes.

The first question: We did launch the program just recently in the last couple of weeks,

so it was just in the last month and it did really well, so we got our first batch of

customers and now our next step is really to nurture and take care of those customers.

We built the program in the first place to take care of our other customers, so we have

a software called Memberium and it's kind of a little bit further along.

It's a bit more mature, and so we wanted a supplemental program that people can come

into and learn how to use the software, as practice about membership sites in general.

So it's really just practicing what I preach, when I say that you can leverage your intellectual

property further.

In fact, that's exactly what we just did.

We created a new stream of revenue for it and it's going to help our existing customers,

so if you're getting customers from another product free access to membership sites, just

an example of how you can really differentiate yourself from your competitors and set it

out.
