Sand me to the moon....

Hello and welcome to donald vlogsifys wood shop, I'm your host Donald Matthews.

Got her sanded down.

Everything...

squared away ready to go for the vise.

There was one thing...

a viewer

sort of pointed out to me,

and I kind of knew it beforehand, but didn't want to admit it to myself.

But then I went back and looked at the Paul Sellers video where he put the wedges in.

And I put them in wrong.

The way I put them in... I'll put a picture here the way, I put em in was like this.

The actual way they should have been put in was like this.

See...

the way I put him in after I wedged them up in there...

As I work on it...

They're going to work loose and fall out.

Which in my situation, It's not gonna be that big a deal. Cause I ended up having to screw the legs on there anyway.

But it would have been better if I had done it the way Paul Sellers did. And put

them in pointed down instead of the way I did it.

What that does...

The proper way to do it, wedges them in there and gravity; if they do happen to work loose.

Gravity will work them back down in.

But live and learn and make mistakes and learn and that's just the way you learn.

Now! Now it's time for the fun part. The wood vise.

We're going to install this...

And the one I got...

is really kind of small.

Compared to most woodworkers, but for the time being it'll be fine with me. I got the Irwin...

uhh... little $20 woodworkers vise. For me... for the time being, this will be fine.

I don't see myself needing anything wider than that, and this should hold what I'll be working on.

and

Actually, it won't quite be this wide because I'm gonna...

put some liners in here, so I don't damage the wood that I am working.

But anyway, let's get to that and get that done, right now

Okay, I was originally going to mount the vise directly here.

Cut a hole here like Paul Sellers did and mount my vise in there. But my particular vise...

Has this little problem here.

Which puts that so close...

to the back piece of the vise that I'd have to cut a chunk so big...

that I might as well cut...

a whole square out here... in order for me to be able to get to the bolts which I'll attach that with.

So instead...

What I'm going to do

Is add another piece of 2x4 here...

to the side.

Which will give me enough gap there...

to mount these to.

And of course...

I'll be

drilling holes

here to accommodate for the rods there.

I think I said that right. I ain't exactly sure. Okay, I marked where those holes should go

And I'm gonna drill a pilot hole in there. gonna drill the pilot hole. And learn how to talk.. I think.

Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and pre-drill the holes...

for this thing here up here. Just to make life a little bit easier for me later on.

Now

I'm gonna install this vise here. Get it bolted in and everything. Or the bottom of it bowing it in.

Got the bench turned upside down.

Hopefully it will go well.

Hopefully I'll be able to get up from here. It won't so easy getting down here.

just saying

Hope I get up from here

Now we're going to do some finish.

I'm just going to use some boiled linseed oil. And...

one or two coats of that should suffice. I'm not trying to make a beautiful piece of furniture here. Just trying to

help keep it a little bit cleaner...

seal it up a little bit.

That's about it. First we all start on the underside of this thing, and do it.

Yes, the underside you don't just season one inside of your steak do you?

Tell me you don't. Tell me you don't, You got to season both sides.

That's pretty much it. Now all there is to let that linseed oil kind of dry.

Soak in and dry.

Give it a day or two.

I don't think I'm gonna mess with another coat. It's just a workbench after all.

All in all it didn't come out quite the way I expected it to.

But...

ran into some problems, but all in all...

I think I did pretty good on it.

considering

I'm happy with it. I'm pleased.

Really, technically, it's the biggest thing I built so far. Isn't that funny?

How odd is that. Is there irony in that? Is that irony? The biggest thing I've built...

probably will build for a while, is something to build things on.

Hmm... something to think about. anyway...

Thank you for watching, I'll be back shortly with another video. I'm probably gonna be

Building a box that I promised a friend of mine that...

He asked me for it during the middle of starting on this build. And between the flu and everything it just kind of got...

pushed back. Just took me longer then I thought it would.

So that's probably what I'll be doing in the next video

As soon as I get a chance to.

Check out Paul Sellers.

He was the inspiration for this build. I took a lot of what he did and it's the base

for the build of this. I did make a couple of mistakes and...

did a few things differently than his...

to

suit what I needed and what I wanted. Which is the beauty of building your own things. You can take...

what somebody else did. His plans and his designs and his...

The way he did it and use that as a base.

There's are certain base principles that are the same.

And Adjust it along the way to build what you need the way you want it. It's one thing I love about wood work.

So check him out, Paul sellers. I'll put a link to his workbench build up here and

a link to his channel down below in the description and his blog site and

all that good stuff down there in the description.

He's got a whole lot of good information. A lot of good tips, and a lot of years to back up what he's saying on it, so

He's one to listen to.

Please give me a thumbs up if you liked my video.

I'll put...

a little

link to the... box thing here.

It'll have a link to my build series, if you want to watch me build this from the beginning.
