Re: Still don't have a workbench? This one is easy

Hi,

Thank you for your videos. They are very informative and well made.

I have a peeve about this one though. It is NOT easy to make without reasonable tools and a workbench.

You guys indicate that this is good to help out people with no workbench who want one, but don't have a bench to make it on.

- First, you need a good vice attached to - a workbench - to cut the metal rods to size with a hacksaw. This is so difficult to do without a vice, I'm still not able to get around to doing it.
- A router is not a common piece of equipment. I had to buy one for this. I like the equipment and will use it again so I don't have any regrets, but without a router one would have needed a table saw - not a very common beginners tool either - to make the grooves to accept the rod.

A mortis and tennon jointing system would have been much more beginner friendly and easy to make.

This has given me too much trouble for a first project.
