00:00Today I'm going to show you how to make an awesome workbench with your own hands.
00:04And don't you worry, even if you've never crafted a thing in your life, you'll still
00:07do it.
00:08That's easy.
00:09You'll need a broken angle grinder, but not all of it, just the upper part.
00:13Ask your neighbors, maybe they have one, or find one at a garage sale.
00:17Trust me, that stuff is everywhere and a dime a dozen.
00:28And, of course, you'll want a pile of wood, but I'm sure you know where to take it.
00:58If you don't understand why I'm knocking this thing on the wood, it's to find the center.
01:02Believe me, that's important.
01:14This way, we'll be able to fix the drill which will serve as a motor.
01:17Relax, you can easily take it off if you need it for something else.
01:39Ah, I love this moment.
01:44With the help of this thingy, the wood brick will hold fast in the workbench.
01:50Careful with fire.
01:54You'll need this to bend the teeth without breaking them.
02:05We're almost done.
02:07Just need to fix the piece of wood and we're ready to work on it.
02:14Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the stand fixture.
02:17It'll help work the wood more comfortably.
02:25Ta-da!
02:26Told you it would be easy.
02:28But look how awesome the result is.
02:30Okay, let's get down to magic.
02:32Don't know about you, but I'm really enjoying the process.
02:35It's like meditation and you can make something useful as you go.
02:59I began with simple stuff and made a tool handle, but I'm sure you can make something much cooler.
