    Thank you for the video & the process of your bench build.I enjoyed the step by step of your use of some recycled timber ,some nice tools also to aid & contribute to the build.
    I am certain that you have a bench that will stand the test of time barring a few chisel/tool marks to enhance its use to you over time.
    You mentioned Milano in your video title ,We were in Milano/Turino last year momentarily.

    Thx thx
    A great satisfaction to see born a stuff that weighs over 200 kg. Make it from recycled wood, it still makes me happy . And my first bench. Tools, many tools made it easier for me, sometimes it seemed like a game. Everything has been done in three weeks. Great contribution of Protool PLP (the beast that devours wood), Domino XL (holy gral of the junctions), TS 55 (carpenter's scalpel) and Piher. Piher, I have no words to describe this wonderful tool. All these tools helped me a lot.
    Thanks again

    Nice work. Are you calling it finished?

    Too bad that Festool doesn't make some of the stuff you're using available in NA.

    Why, difficult to take even in the UK? If you think about voltage, then just get an inverter that takes you to 220 V to 110 V? I think, I'm not really sure

    Sorry, I meant USA. I've thought about making a converter with European style plugs. I have more than enough amperage available in my workshop. I've done up an outlet in our kitchen for a samovar, two pole 240 not single but since it's just a heating element it works fine.

    I know, I've also seen before where you are. And just for what he wrote to you, if you do not have any tools in the USA, take them in the UK too. They also sell 110 V tools. As well, they cost less
