Once upon a time, Mr. Like purchased a work bench from Harbor Freight. He put it together in the dark basement. It was filmed almost entirely on a Samsung Galaxy S8+ wedged into the back of a chair. This was our very first "real" video other than our introduction. It is by far our most popular viewed video and those that stay to the end get a real funny surprise. This video is a combination Unboxing, Assembly and Review video for the Windsor Design woodworking bench that we purchased at Harbor Freight. WHAT TO EXPECT |
MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS BENCH |
Many of our subscribers & commenters said their benches weren't like this one. We found out later when purchasing a second Harbor Freight Work Bench that Harbor Freight actually sells different models of this same bench (at the same time). We originally thought it was a redesign, but apparently they still build and sell multiple model numbers under the same name. We had hoped to do a comparison video between the two benches, but that was never accomplished and now that the two are no longer nearby it is unlikely that will happen anytime soon. However, we still hope we can at some point in time. Both of us like the bench as a basic bench, but for a serious woodworking bench it just isn't really that great. However, it is good enough to use for building your own bench since the surface is a good flat work surface. It's sufficient for the occasional weekend warrior projects. The price can vary, but we don't recommend paying full price because it goes on sale frequently. This is a good sized project bench in general and we do not regret the original purchase or the second bench. With that being said, there are a few issues with the drawers which can somewhat be solved with new rails. We put new rails on the first work bench and made them longer as well. Stay tuned for that to be a video of the week, but it's also on our channel. https://youtu.be/qT8i8cupAKE BEHIND THE SCENES INFORMATION (from Mrs. Like) We knew nothing about editing at this point other than how to slice together footage. Mr. Like edited this one 100% himself and the end scene was 100% unscripted. However, he knew that the workbench was in my craft area because he had moved it there himself for me to put my stuff on after we discussed purchasing a second bench. He told me that he was going to film an idea for a scene, but didn't tell me exactly what he was filming. I decided to cackle at my computer not even knowing that he had just said "what the" and couldn't believe it could actually be heard on the footage he filmed. It worked out better than he had intended. It was filmed almost entirely on a Samsung Galaxy S8+ wedged into the back of a chair so the sound & video quality isn't where it could be, but it's still one of our most popular videos. It was edited with Open Shot and everything was created using Open Shot. I didn't realize that we could use Canva for everything or how much I'd enjoy editing, but I'm glad he did this video because it would have been boring for me to do an unboxing, assembly and review video for a work bench if I'm being honest. NOTE FROM MR. LIKE IT | (a man of few words because he said I said it all already) It's a bench. It still holds my crap. It's still sturdy. It's still serving my needs. For the price, would buy again.
