"ain't gonna buy no $500 pre-made workbench". Builds one for $4000..

You should NOT quit your current job to do woodworking, and DEFINITELY NOT teaching people how to do it. Also, you should check your lungs considering how much MDF cutting in such a small, closed space.

Early in my woodworking career, an “Old-Timer” told me, “Don’t spend more time working ON your shop than IN your shop”.

Installs and uses t-track incorrectly, concludes t-track sucks.

Been wood working for 60 + years . . .my work bench is topped with MDF with few dog holes. If i need a special hole I'll drill it but most of the time it's a scrap of wood with a tort screw making the clamp. When the MDF is butchered I'll flip it, simple, low cost and easy. Tip #2 , if you have some old pull down window blinds they make a great glue up surface . . .who knew . . .not bashing just helping. Stay safe and build something

Dig this hole. Now fill this hole. You're in the Army, now.

with that many holes, you could probably box off/seal the bottom, leave a port for vacuum, and use it as a downdraft table for sanding...

This dude has been living his own lie for years.

So you sealed the bottom with polyurethane to stop moisture absorption but then routed a ton of holes with probably the same amount of surface area as the bottom that can absorb moisture.

You cured me of ever wanting dog holes in a workbench!😂😂😂

A guy that is cost conscience but has the coin for many Festools.

How someone would needs around 200 dog holes in a bench top is beyond me. The screws falling through is one thing, how about the dust that's constantly pouring through onto or into whatever below. I'd go nuts as everything else that fits in those holes falls through. I've been making furniture for years now and have a Roubo style bench with about 10 dog holes in it and haven't need more.

Another big benefit of dust collection with the router is the amount of fine dust that is sucked into your dust extractor rather than your lungs. MDF is some of the nastiest dust you can breathe in!

Making holes in your table to sell a product to cover them up is ingenious...

I've just spent 33 min of my life watching this guy making holes in workbench

Ok, but now you have fallen into and perpetuated another you tube myth, you don't need all those dog holes. Juse a couple of rows along the frount, and one side, with a row down the center and your done. Dont beleive my, just track how many you actually use over the course of a year and you'll see. Or you could take a look at a traditional cabinet makes bench and see where they placed their dog holes (square in those days) and you'll get the picture. How do I know this I to made a Polick workbench and when I went along and made my final one (out of all that expensive wood) I reduced the dog hole allotment (as described above) and spaced them according to the reach on the tail vice I added to one end and the moxen vice on the side) reduced the total dog holes by 87% and I have never missed them ever! Now in the Swiss cheese workbenches defence you can lay out your track saw anywhere to cut wood at right angles, but what about all those other angles, and do you want all those scares on your bench surface, I don't think so, so you'll probably never do that either. so track your hole usage and make a nice video next year on you thoughts, I'll look forward to that.

I found that adding the laminate is overkill. I built mine 12 years ago and I just have bare MDF, I wiped on shellac and paste wax. Nothing sticks to it. Once a year or so, I’ll do a light sanding and reapply the finish.
