Early Access Video: Chinese Bench Music Cut
Added 2025-03-15 11:00:12 +0000 UTCFriends:
We're nearly healthy again! In fact, Lucas and Nate are back in the saddle and I'm the one holding up the show. The virus I had was CRAZY. This is the first time in my life I've had a fever and taken ibuprophen or Tylenol, and STILL had a fever. It was so bad, I was putting ice packs on my eyes because I felt like they were cooking inside my skull. I guess this thing is going around, but I hope none of you have it.
Regardless, we've got a video for you! Nate took our recent Chinese workbench build and re-cut it to music from Adam (@blacksheepbanjos). Very often, people tell us that they enjoy the pure build process without any talking. Heck, I build the darn thing and even I enjoyed the calmer pace of the music cut. And if you missed the original build with narration, it's right here.
I expect to be back at work on Monday, but my voice is absolutely shot from coughing. It's going to be a minute before I can talk on camera again. We'll try to do some behind-the-scenes stuff as I soldier on with the Joiner's Chest and other projects.
I hope all of you are staying healthy. If you're sick, please get some rest. Between COVID, the Flu, and whatever respiratory virus I had, the nation is pretty sick right now. For most of these ailments, only time and rest will help.
Give yourself a break!

Sure! Adding water extends the drying time, which is useful when the glue-up is long. You can do it with any yellow glue.
