This is a great series! I really like Mr. Lowe's personality, his approach to teaching and the presentation of the videos as well.
I don't watch videos normally, but this was great. Thanks! 😁
I watched the whole series and admired the talent of Mr. Lowe. I truly envy him. I will try to make myself same type and design of workbench Mr.. Lowe had for 40 years. However, I need the plans to do so. Do I need to purchase the plans or is it part of my subscription?
This is a very good series by Mr Lowe wishing I had watched this before I had made my existing bench. How can I get planes for this bench?
Plans are available here.
Another great video series, many thanks Phil. ( UK )
What can I say? I agree with everyone. Fine job, Phil. Great and energetic instruction. Your enthusiasm is catching
I have always enjoyed Phil Lowe's project articles in FWW but these videos give a sense of what a great teacher he is. Loved his line: "come on all you Luddites!" Really enjoyed this series, thanks!
While the bench I'm getting ready to build will have a front face vise and a tailvise, but no drawers or cabinet, there are many good tips and methods of practice to glean from this series. While he does mention wood movement in the drawer segment, he doesn't cover it in attaching the top to the base. Nor does he cover what, if any, finish he may use to both protect the bench and to ensure even expansion/contraction of both the top and the base and its components. Mine will have several applications of Watco Danish Oil on all sides of everything wood except, of course, the glue joints.
