Thanks for the challenge Jon Peters! This bench turned out amazing and I can’t wait to take it up to my off grid property. I used Douglas fir to build this bench and it will fit in well with my off-grid cabin. You can get Jon’s plans for his original design of this bench as well as his full video tutorials through the link above at the Makers Mob! Thanks for following the journey!

That fir reminds me of a job restoring an 1885 victorian home in Atlanta. The house had been built with long leaf yellow pine harvested on site. The growth rings were about 1/32" apart. It was easily as hard as white oak. After more than a century one could still smell the sap. What a joy to work with that wonderful conifer.
Great project. Love the knot left in the bottom edge. A good fir project wouldn’t be complete without it. Two video ideas down the line. Forgive me if you’ve already touched on these in previous videos. 1) How you’ve grown your wood inventory and suggestions on how up and coming woodworkers can. 2) In depth tutorial on how you use power tools with precision. If you don’t mention time savings because you’ve got kids crawling up your leg, you’ll be dead to me. Ha! Cheers.
12:40 oh I love Odies Oil since the first time I used it, especially on walnut
Very nice. I would love to see a video on your Japanese-inspired design aesthetic.
It’s beautiful. Well done sir.
Looks awesome
I just don't understand why you don't wear a dust mask. It is something you will regret later in life.
nice looking bench. It should fit in well in the cabin.
Way back in my High School wood shop, the dust collection system had inputs at the floor level so us kids, when cleaning up could just sweep the floors into the floor level inputs. Everything was hung from the ceiling so, these floor level inputs came down a structural support.
Beautiful build
Like always it is a very nice 👌 job, love your work 👏
I mean absolutely no disrespect when I say the best bit of this video for me was seeing the lads playing to the camera. I wonder how long they will still want to be in the shop when you are filming? They'll be in their teens before you know it, and become totally different people.
Nice job.
Great video - I learned a lot. Was wondering why you always start on the table saw when you re-saw lumber.
nice
Sup Samarai?? Really enjoyed vid. I built This bench from Jon’s vid last summer and really happy with it. Curious, the joinery for the base, u changed that up from Jon’s. And wondering what that was exactly. Been only woodworking for about 18 months, so not too familiar with a lot of diff joinery techniques but I couldn’t figure out exactly what that was. It’s around the. 11:11 mark. I am building another one of these benches soon and wld love to try out your approach. And one last thing, was that just a 5 degree u cut into the leg base? Really liked that look! Appreciate any help!!
Tell the little guy who was waving, that I'm waving back. Oh and that his Dad's building him a fantastic log cabin, [while his mom and dad will sleep out in the tent!!!]
something I've never been able to figure out while watching your videos is how all of your Makita tools are blacked out? Did you have to paint them to make sure they were yours in a public shop?
Is MDF a good workbench top?
Jesse, When making a slot like you did in the top of the legs for the little hold down pieces, is there a reason you chisel in from the edge after you made relief cuts instead of wedging the chisel, not one of your good sharp ones of course, into the cuts to break off the waist? Have you had the waist break off below the level you want?
That only works when the grain is running horizontally not vertically like it was in this application.
@@TheSamuraiCarpenter Thank you for clarifying.
Yeah!
Might just have to change your name to The Samurai Woodworker !
This reminds me of watching the new yankee workshop, well done!
What’s your secret to making your projects not look like they were made from Fir? I’m probably phrasing that wrong, but many beginners like myself make stuff out of fir and/or pine, and they look like it. The identifiable grain, for one. Not very sleek, unavoidable tear out, mortises that don’t chop very crisply, etc. it seems like I have a lot more success with those things when I use hardwood. But your projects look so great and crisp that I wouldn’t guess that they’re from fir.
You need very sharp tools when working with softwoods.
Yes, sharp tools. And clear, dry, straight and tight grained wood helps a lot. The species is not that important. Good wood machines very nicely, even pine or fir.
Second growth fir and old growth fir are not the same. I try to use old growth because it is much easier to work with and looks much better. Your tools have to be very sharp and you have to add steps to prevent splitting and tear out etc.
What bandsaw blades do you use as your go to blade: brand, metal, tpi?
Samurai why honor Peters in any way, he is a first class HACK!!!!
your boy has got the halo t-shirt on, raised right.
Their uncle manages the audio production for the game at Microsoft so they get free merch. They haven’t actually played it.
Dude…. (And I’m not some troll) I’ve friends in their late 50’s early 60’s who worked in construction most of their lives and their lungs are f**ked….. put a dust extract on the chop saw ( plus a few other bad habits). I’m in my mid/late 40’s and never wore anything close to a mask until about 10 years ago. But there a a lot of young people watching your channel so best set a good example. We all need to up our game or we will be that 60 year old sitting on a bar stool and not be able to breath properly without coughing up a lung….. sorry but you know it makes sense. S

The real challenge of off grid living is using thousands of dollars of high powered equipment to make everything.
"A bunch of scraps laying around the shop"
Pulls out an enormous beam
Same thing I thought. A 6x8 beam is a "scrap"?
Must be a North American thing? Number of projects I see I had this scrap 7 1/2 foot by 3 9/10 foot birch wood ply sheet. About £80 in 🇬🇧
PS. Do like the channel though
He does a lot of construction work and in a job you usually buy extra to cover mistakes.
Lotta a trees in Canadia…!!
I find it refreshing that you spend more time making stuff than you do perfecting your dust collection system
You couldn't get the job done without a little helper! I myself am the same)))
Дядя Миша, что за дерево такое, на 2:11? Выглядит как наш сибирский кедр
Михаил не ожидал))))
@@ВячеславПажильцев На этой отметке времени не понял о каком дереве речь. В большинстве видео используется именно кедр.
@@HeARTwood-DIYспасибо большое за ответ, извините, не тот поставил таймкод, 4:11.
@@ВячеславПажильцев да, это кедр, тангенциальный распил прикомлевой части.
So much dust
Nice work, both on the subtle design tweaks and the Doug Fir work. It can be a challenging wood with it's variable soft/hard layers and it's propensity to splinter at the wrong time. Really nicely done.
If you wear eye protection, I’ll buy something from you.
Nice bench. It hurts my knees when you do glue ups on the floor. My knees and back would kick my ass
Great looking bench Jesse & nicely executed! Good thing that you have your little helper in the shop to keep things clean & swept up! 👍👍😉😉👏👏
In France, The orientation of the wood is called " La flamme", the flamme orientation, referring to fire. This is a good help for me to be careful when I glue 2 pieces together, or where I decide the orientation of a piece.
Didn't know this(and I live here in France?) So it's "le feu?" Will sound less the amateur next time I stop by my cabin maker buddy's shop....cheers...rr
Meant as in fire.
Stunningly beautiful bench🏴
Love your work and the work ethic of your boys. Might want to teach them a little about PPE and safety for their feet.
As long as Safety Sally rules the comment sections, we’ll all be okay. Thank you for your service, Sally.
Yes, steel toes for all the boys. Wouldn't want their stubby little toes getting pinched now would we.
@@lucilledog8832 You've never taken your kid to the ER after having their foot sliced open with something hidden in the shavings, have you.
@@Davey768 Actually, I don't care about their stubby little toes. But I do care about the soles of the feet.
What a beast of a router. I hereby name it the dark knight aka the batman router
Is that a sporterized Lee-Enfield hanging on the wall?
"Super easy" - aye. :D
Douglas fir is pine...
Dude your chisels are sharp as razors. Literally
Can't get fired with a broom in your hand.
Cool Bench The campsite will be its home.
Hi carpenter, can you give me the dimensions of your workshop?
Thank you so much.
great✨✨
Pretty amazing work, dude! Really beautiful bench! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Cute kids
Its only a bench but its built by the samurai carpenter! Finally a woodworking project video from this dude
Looks great!
good
What a great little helper. Nice job on that bench
Get that kid some shoes will ya !
Worry about yourself... He is the Dad not you
I'd be a bench warmer for that bench ;)
Excellent Build Senci.
Only 1 thing.. FEET?
Trestle Style Feet?
Very nice, Jesse! I’m loving this Maker’s Mob Creative cross-polination!
Beautiful, simple, strong bench. You did a great job.
You make some pretty awesome things, but how did you manage to manage to make such beautiful, amazing boys?! They're all so handsome and absolutely precious...
That is some beautiful VG fir - "just hangin around the shop"!!!!
I make small stools for the kids to sit on ( here in County Durham England 🏴 they were called Crackets) at only about 12 - 16 inches high but there was also a larger one for adults / older kids. At close to the height of your bench but only about 24 inches wide it was a larger version. They have an upside down v with a drilled hole at the top of it for the feet and side boards 4" deep instead of a bar in the middle. Why don't you make some for the kids?
A Crackets from England would great to see in the States.
Thanks for mentioning the wood in the beginning. Beautiful grain!
I'm surprised your jointer appeared to flex so much. Maybe it was the entire machine tipping slightly per stroke?
Can't get more Canadian then using hockey puck stand offs on the workbench. LV even sells high grip pads for pucks 👍
I like the hockey pucks for holding up the workpiece, can‘t get any more canadian.
Maravilloso, me encanta todos tus trabajos, eres un verdadero maestro.
Felicidades
Beautifully done! It's been a few years since I used any doug fir but I love the smell of the shop when I do. Second only to the cedar here in TN
That's funny. I made a small 60cm long bench with almost that exact leg design years ago for my wife to put her purse etc on.
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was a Jon Peters vid...nice work!!
A bench is nice for the front porch, but wouldn't a set of bunks for the kids be higher on the priority list? Top one could fold up out of the way during the day.
Now that's a nice looking bench. Have you given any more thought on the vest project? it's been a while since we've heard about it and I'm really interested about in it.
"Scraps" he calls them. Jesse! Bro. Really?? lol!
Always enjoy your videos ! thanks
Nice job as always, looking pretty 👏🏻👏🏻
Very nice, thanks for showing us.
God that fir is beautiful.....
Beautiful as always.
Samurai out
That shop helper is legit!
Beautiful work!
great looking bench
Loved the lines Jesse
Love makers mob
Nice work!
Art!
I kinda wonder if you taught your kids to go "bare feet everywhere anytime - even in minus XX degrees winter" from Japanese culture as well. Because this is not the first time I see at least one of your kids running around in your workshop bare feet. And I know for a fact that in some Japanese kindergartens (保育園 mostly, not so much in 幼稚園) the teachers let the kids run around outside bare feet all year long, even through winter time, or in rainy weather during all other seasons as well. And I think that is wonderful, when they can do that. But in a wood shop (or worse: blacksmith/metal working shop) I feel like this is a safety hazard and some kind of accident is bound to happen if you let them keep doing that (e.g. rusty nail/screw lying around in the saw dust/wood chips for whatever reason).
Just sayin'. Great video, as usual/always. Thank you, for being an awesome daddy and providing us with free content on top of that. Must be exhausting. Appreciate it.
A rusty nail won't kill ya, it will make you more carefull next time, valuable life lesson..
New Zealand kids run around all year without shoes on including at primary school. In summer you regularly see adults walking around the supermarket with no shoes on. Coming from the UK it was initially a bit odd, now I do it as well.
8:55 - ooo I flinched at those little bare feet in the workshop! They must be tougher feet than the ones on my daughter...
LMAO
Hope you and your family have a blessed Thanksgiving 🦃
You're only a month late, but I'm sure he appreciates the thought nonetheless 😉
Thats a really nice bench - I was a bit 'oh yeah' when you said you'd make it from Oregon, but that came out so good.- well done. Quick question - why no use of biscuits/dominos/dowels etc when gluing such large planks? -
They only offer ease of alignment, no strength. I would have thought that well milled timber and decent clamps would negate the need for B/D/Ds. It has from my experience, anyway.
@@Myrkskogmakes sense, thx for the reply
@@shaunw666 Nae bother. Just remember, most glues are stronger than the wood fibres. Plane two edges to meet perfectly and there should never be a problem.
