Q & A:
So I just saw a video on Zach's channel when he built his workbench. It's a design that looks cool and seem rather doable, also for a beginner like me. (Can't remember the design name though). I am considering building that one or a roubo style and I would like to hear Zach's own opinions/experiences with the bench, things he'd change/add etc., now that it's been in use.
My workflow consist entirely of hand tools since I can't afford machines so that's something to keep in mind.
Thanks for being kickass!
