Most of the restoration channels on KZread don't speak during their videos, so that's pretty normal. Hand Tool Rescue is in Canada like me, but you very rarely hear him talk. Only if the video he's doing really needs it, like a shop tour, or when he did a video on Japanning.

I love the thought of personal improvements over time to make your work shop better. I’d love to see more like this.

Oh, my mechanics, you are the best restoration channel. Thank you! Don't leave us for months.

Great work!! In Japan, we call brass insert "ONIME Nuts". I sometimes use its. When I use its, I put the epoxy resin into the wood holes to harden wood fiber. It improves durability of wood base itself. If you have next chance, let try it. Thank you.

Dripping runny (not gel type) super glue (cyanoacrylate) into the hole will make softer wood turn rock hard and prevent splitting. For smaller screws and bolts, threaded inserts are not needed unless disassembly 100's of times is required. 1/4" lag bolts can be screwed in and removed many times.

I ate my breakfast while watching the new video. Enjoyed both immensely. And yes it’s nice to hear your voice every now and then. Best wishes to you and all here.

don't screw into face grain! that's your main problem. it provides much less holding strength for your screws. you should have turned your piece of wood by 90 degrees.

Yes, your Schweizerdeutsch-accented English reminds me of my hiking friends in Zug & Luzern. Excellent program, as always. Thank you!

Seeing that Beverly always makes me smile. And the press! Good job on giving them a solid base.

As a wood worker I find all your videos fascinating! Though in this case if you turned your block 90 degrees you’d have more luck with the screws not wiggling lose. The inserts may also show wear too. When you screw into end grain the threads cut away (over time) the wood all around the shank. The threaded inserts should last much longer but it’s possible they might come lose over time. Even if your old block was turned 90 degrees you probably wouldn’t have to change it. Anyways love both your channels.

I’m definitely adding the inserts to my existing plate. Great idea! Thank you again, and take good care.

Your videos are so good! I watch them multiple times!

and finally the man has spoken!

Nice versatility and love the butcher block base! I used the same technique to hold my vintage restored bench DP (1950 heavy iron) and made an extra set at 90º so I could rotate the DP to hang over the custom bench and be able to drill larger/longer pieces than 10"-12". I used a dab of quick epoxy for the inserts also. Also used 3/8-16 button head cap screws with an extra 3/8" length because they are easier to reach with a T-handle hex and don't take too long to remove. Thanks for sharing this, Nicely Done!

Your voice is everything I'd hoped.

Dude, I love your voice over. It’s crisp, simple, and straight to the point.

I am currently making the exact same thing for my bench... Thank you for the idea!

Ahh, we get to hear your voice! Happy day indeed! The threaded inserts are a nice touch, definitely good when you need to change out the tools you're using. Thank you for making a block of wood interesting.

Elegant solution! Very satisfying to watch.

Your voice sounds exactly how I pictured it in my head.

One well thought out base encompasses all, bet ya slept well that night with that done, great job, thank you for sharing!!!!!!

Methodical work practices that you have makes you a very good worker. Great idea to use one wooden base plate for different tools. Cheers.

First time hearing your voice and already love the accent

Impressive !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very cool! But the whole time I was axpecting you to say: This is broken, I make a new one. XD

Such a cool idea

Saugeile Idee und Umsetzung 👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘

That is awesome

As Jim Pudar has pointed out, putting screws into end grain is always going to be weak. The new piece is very dense so it will last much longer with those inserts but turning the wood 90 degrees and putting the edge inserts into the side of the wood grain would have been a good idea. BTW, It's standard to fix a stripped hole in wood by drilling it and gluing in a dowel as I've seen you do but it always bothers me because it will never be very strong.. Still better than a tripped hole but I would want to use an insert like you did here when possible. I hope you never get tired of making videos because I enjoy the beautiful work so much.

that ikea kitchen countertop is solid for the money 😉

Very nice.

Perfect as usually.

Totally wasn't expecting a voice. Glad to hear it on your second channel, but I really dig the silent style on your main channel. It's very soothing.

Good job bro 👍💣👌🏽

Awesome idea bro! Nicely done! Thats gonna come in very handy!

I recently assembled a table from two different sources of materials. The top came from one table, and the legs from another. The legs were from a rolling table that had 3 levels. I took two sets of the sets of legs, and cut the longest two to the same height or length as the middle sized legs. I then took an Allen wrench and removed the threaded inserts from the legs, next I got the appropriate sized forstener bit, and drilled beyond where the threads were, cut the legs down, then threaded in the inserts to attach the legs to the top. I then drilled the holes for the attaching plates to the top, threaded the legs in, and had a nice little table that measured 76x76 cm.

Very nice work - as always! I for one, would really like a brief video tour of your shop. You always seem to have exactly the right tools and materials and I am interested in how you have organized your work space and how big it actually is.

You made a new one? That's never happened before. :D

Beautiful work as always. Just for myself id prefer a metal base drilled with nuts welded. Wood will always tend to work loose especially with the vise

AMason is correct. Rotating the wood base plate 90 degrees would have been a better approach, whether nails, lag screws, or inserts.

I also wondered about that, end grain is very weak, I think your inserts will tear out in time, I would have used bed bolts or inserted a nut and washer. so the gressel could be firmly attached at the front.

When you started talking I had to check the channel again... nice thing for a change!

Nice..

At first I thought, a new wooden base plate? That's it? I'm sorry I didn't trust you. This video was really good. It's deceptive how complicated things can get for a relatively simple item. Always great to learn new things. Thanks!

This is a magical channel and you are a brilliant craftsman, but lag screws don't work well driven into end grain. The board needs grain rotated 90 degrees. The sawdust that pulled out of the hole when the screw was removed is a good illustration of why.

Smart idea using a lock nut and bolt for installation of the inserts 👍👍 Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming sir. We'll be here watching and waiting. You "make a new one" please.
