pathetic workbench

This is just a down and dirty clip that I shot for the "Pathetic workbench" contest being held by Christopher Schwarz at Woodworking Magazine's blog. The two worst things about my bench can't be shown through a photo, which is why this video exists. Anyway, I hope you at least get a laugh from watching this. I know I did :)

Hey there Stranger! How's the guitar playing coming along?

I hope you win, but.. there's that old saying.. "Someone's always better or worse than you out there"

Besides that, if you don't win the contest, that would be a good 'first' project to work on. It seems like in every wood working magazine I have bought that is always a hot project.

I already have a couple of bench plans picked out from Popular Woodworking's website. If I win this contest, the prize is some fantastic books. One of them being Christopher Schwarz's book about workbenches.

your bench does suck haha That squeaking would drive me nuts unless I had a couple beers. In that case it would look live Obama's desk in the oval office

I'm hoping to replace it this summer with a bench made specifically for woodworking.

little tip: add the reworking of this workbench as a videoresponse below this video.this will make it easier to find it.
