[bigyoda12]

Again, tanks a lot.

I am glad I could help.

Wow, never saw a simpler explanation on the draw tenon joint. The screw holes on my scrap wodd work bench are currently plugged with bondo and awaiting paint (putty and paint make a carpenter what he ain't)... I'll try this joint on my next project.

[hopper1]

Draw boring those joints worked really well. After using the bench for awhile, it's still very stable. It's not a Roubo or Holtzapfel, but it's so much better than butt joints and screws.

[alvinfry]

Don't forget the putty... you can't have butt joints and screws without plenty of putty ahahha. I'm already designing a bench extension with real joints.

that was very interesting since I know nothing about woodworking haha. I do know you rocked that guitar at the end though...We should do a collaboration on my free youtube music project. )

[hopper1]

Collaboration? Free YouTube music project? I'm listening...

Tim,

Great video and guitar. The draw tenon is interesting, never came across that before. Still working on the guitar here and have recently gotten into RC helicopters. Too much to explore and too little time.

Good to see you! Curt

Hi Curt! Hope you had a good Easter. Like you, I also have too many interests and not enough time. I suppose that is better than having too much time and no interests.

Very very cool! LMAO at the shoutout! Glad to see I've had a positive influence!

I think the number one reason for using the pegs is that it looks unbelievably professional & craftsman-like. Great explanation too.

Oh, and you may be interested - I got to fly a Pilatus PC-6 Porter yesterday. The owner demonstrated a 'beta descent' which you can see in a video I found on YT watch?v=AD1xBMthXBs very fun.

[zebidee55]

I forgot to mention - the slide guitar playing is frickin amazing!

[hopper1]

Thanks. It's a bit sloppy, but it's nice to record background music myself.

[hopper1]

You got to fly a PC-6? Sweet! I'll check out that video. The number one reason I used the pegs was, as I mentioned, not having long enough clamps. The second reason is that they somewhat compensate for sloppy joints. I'm about to put the final pieces of the base together :)

[zebidee55]

Yeah, I'm on a job certifying a plane in Switzerland & there are a couple of them that do skydiving runs from the airport. My clients surprised me by arranging a flight. I got to do most of the flying (except the spectacular bits). We had 4 unrestrained guys on the jump seat benches, so they had a ball while we threw the plane around. With the video, check out the 'related' ones for what it looks like from a skydiver's perspective. The plane lands before they do.

Cool, Looks like it will be a good workbench for a long long time :)

[hopper1]

At least it will be better than it was before.

[MRSketch09]

True, is good practice! This way if you screw up, it's something you won't repeat when your working on nice new bench...

[hopper1]

I've screwed up a few times already, believe me ;)
