Looks like a great design. Ignore the people that complain about you using higher end tools. You have made many amazing projects over the years using budget tools. You have definitely earned you right to have nicer tools, and they should recognize that and that you have proven time and time again you don't need high end tools to make high-end products.

You are without a doubt the easiest to understand woodworking teacher. Thank you for your videos.

[bobbayne]

I have seen only a few of your video’s and was very pleased as I was left thinking, here is someone doing quality work with affordable tools with great explanation for less. UNTIL this video, wow, you certainly moved up with very fancy tools. Congratulations. I am sure you have worked quite hard to get here.

[JoeMcMaster-szuy]

Looking great so far, you should be super proud! If you have the time, I’d vote yes to making the plans available for purchase. And yep…def want to see the ankle vid! Knowing that you’re ok means I can laugh and not feel guilty (a little bit).

[hazymunkey]

Never feel bad about getting better more expensive tools ect.. You worked for it and earned it thats what it's all about. It's been so fun to watch you grow and learn as we all learn right along with you.

[tsikoutsikou]

Yes, if you could prepare plans for us that would be amazing. Great job!!!

It's so cool you're building out your new shop and getting bigger and better equipment. At the same time, for me, one of the appeals of your channel was how beginner-friendly it has been. I don't want to suggest that you should hold back and not progress, I just found it so awesome that you made beginner equipment work so well. It made woodworking seem more accessible for newbies. It's great that you continue to show simpler options during your builds.

Thanks for your content and keep on cracking.

This is a great video. We saw you start with "cheap" tools. Now you have some really nice tools you've "earned". I love this and appreciate your work. Keep doing what you're doing. We love you Tamar!

[mygardencart]

i've loved learning from you for such a long time. its so wonderful to have watched you build in "humble" beginnings, and to see you progress in your style, ability and equipment. thank you for breaking down your videos so a beginner"ish" woodworker such as myself can follow along and learn from you. i love your projects and your teaching. and not one to pass up wanting to see how you hurt your ankle! (only cause we know you're ok though!)

[yejthvp]

I can't help observing your great personality, disposition, and above it all the way you handle yourself during your wood projects. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and great aptitude. You even show how satisfying it is to see when everything fits the way intended. Once again, thank you for taking the time out of your day to teach us all

[Makowski]

Cool idea to combine bench styles, especially if space is a concern. Looks nicely built and nice and solid so far. Well done! Hope the ankle heals up soon for you

[qapla]

Tamar, that looks like a very well thought out work bench. Since we all have our own way of working, it is good to have one designed for our individual needs and it is good you took the time to think it out before jumping into building this. By all means, breaking this build into multiple videos is fine, since it gives us more chances to visit with you while you work. Your videos are always fun to watch, as well as informative and we miss you when you don't post. Looking forward to the rest of this series.

Please take care of that injury - sure we would like to see what caused it; it may help us to avoid the same type of injury.

I like the idea of combining the workbench and assembly table onto a single base. I would be interested in hearing about the pros and cons after a few months of use.

[edadan]

I have been a hobbyist woodworker for over 20 years. There’s no shame in having nice tools. They save you time and frustration and allow you to focus more on what you’re building vs how you’re going to build it. Anyway, very nice work and excellent video editing!

[allendean]

I'm just starting to get into wood working and I must say, it teaches you patience, something I've always lacked. This was an amazing build and, very inspiring. Thank you for this!

[nrmrvrk]

Such an awesome build! I love learning all of the woodworking terms for the holes, fasteners, and different cuts. I love watching the projects come together.

[scotttalkowski]

Very nice build and sorry that you got hurt while building it. You should definitely show what happened, even in small work spaces you have to be careful, confined work spaces can be tricky.

[andreg.shappell]

Yes, plans, please! What a delight to see the progress on your beautiful shop! Thank you for sharing it with us!

[YourResidentSerb]

Ive just started woodworking and I have been watching a lot of your older videos. Its great to see what you made with those and how you evolved your shop. Dont let the haters get to you about all the pro tools you have now. To me, you put your time in and earned them all the while helping new guys like me learn along the way. Id love to see the plans to this bench, something to aspire to in the future as I upgrade my 2x4 pine top! Thanks for all you time in making these videos

[jtube]

Yes I would love the plans for this workbench! I am in the midst of planning my workbench and this is perfect!!
