Smartbench Workbench

The one-wall DIY workbench/makerspace that is loaded with features like a replaceable top, total adjustability, room underneath for a rolling tool chest, and more. I also added a row of metal pegboards that are simply better than any pegboard I've seen.

After watching Blacktail Studio videos for months now, I'm convinced that his full-time job is actually replying to and liking comments. Woodworking is actually just his side gig. 😏

As I'm getting older things like this are starting to look better and better to me, damn that's a nice workshop setup, functional and tidy!

Bonjourno! I've had my bosch glide since 2013 and absolutely love it. It did have some defects in the fence, it wasn't a big issue since I was using it for timber stud work but recently emailed both and they are sending out replacement parts free of charge 8 years later, incredible customer service!

“Salam” which is in Arabic, I don’t have a question this week, I just wanted to say that even now the nature of the content is different but still really interesting to be watched. Keep it up 👍🏻

Guten Tag, I like the industrial/modern look of the steel, makes things seem more professional.

Next time you try to make your miter saw level with the tables, use this trick: Get a perfectly square 2x4, so that when you lay it on the cutting area of your saw, it sticks out about a foot on each end. Attach it to your saw using the holes on the fence of the saw, making sure that 2x4 is sitting dead flat on the cutting surface of your saw. Now simply rest your saw using those extra foot lengths from each end. This will work as a temp holder while you install the permanent shelf for your saw to sit on. Hope it makes sense. Also, you made your station parallel to the floor, but that floor is not level, you might want to use a laser next time. Good luck!

First video I think I've seen if yours... Love it and congratulations on going full time. Hope it's all still going well and I look forward to seeing more of your projects.

The, "Troll of the week", spot is becoming my new favorite part.

Guten tag! I run a small woodworking business with my brother. We get lots of ideas from lots of different channels, but I have to say that you are our main mentor. I really appreciate the things you’ve taught us! We’ll have to give this miter station a try.

I would love to see a shop organization video where you go into detail on how the shop is laid out with tool storage.

Tag! (German, shortened from "guten tag", meaning good day). I like those extrusions, thinking of doing something like that in my leased shop.

Bore Da (Welsh) Greetings from UK. Just wanted to say thankyou for you videos. I suffer from anxiety and other issues and your videos really help me. I desire to be able to do woodwork but alas have very very poor dexterity. I am living my woodworking/tool life through you. I am learning loads of interesting stuff and because you mentioned it about 'helps' on your Iphone I now know why you use c clamps. Thanks again

[zachrichmond]

Bonjour! I’m so jealous of this workshop 😭 great work and thanks for the videos so that I can do this when I retire in 35 years lol.

[kansasjohn]

Ya'at'eeh! (hello in navajo) Looking forward to building my own shop and soon once our home is complete. Sweet set up and ideas.

[phochmann]

it's time to slow down so that means time to reorganize the shop to be more productive. I've been racking my noggin how to create some space. You just provided most of my answers. Thank you.!

[spencernelson]

Go Beavs!! Appreciate all your videos and enjoy to see you making your dream shop a reality

[jacobcremins]

Aloha!
I just found your channel this week and I am loving the content. Your new garage and layout is a thing of beauty and definitely makes me envious! I like that your voice-over is more a highlight and less of a step-by-step but you openly accept any questions viewers might have. Keep up the great work and keep living your dream man!

[ryansidener]

I've been a carpenter over 30 years, I like your content! I'm gonna grab a deck of cards and throw in my bag of tricks. Thanks for the great shim idea. Best of luck!

I'm not a big melamine fan but this entire setup looks tight.

Only thing more satisfying than watching woodworking is watching organization success... My OCD is so happy with this video
