Great job! Thank you😉
I thank you 🙌
simple but elegant lines. excellent execution 👍
I'm a fine furniture maker, and I'm guessing much like yourself, I feel like I've subscribed to, and watched just about every woodworking channel out there (worth watching, of course). But maybe once or twice a year, I get surprised by a new channel I haven't seen yet. So I subscribed as a salute. Thank you for taking the time and energy that the rest of us don't feel like spending, to document your work. Beautiful piece! Cheers, from Chesbrough Cabinetry.
Thank you, Colin. Your message of appreciation made my day. Cheers!
Alvin 😂e os Esquilos breve 🔜 o mesmo e a minha participação na reunião ❤🎉😮😅😊que 🤷♀️

What is a good resource to get into this type of woodwork? i.e limited power tools.
@hoolz750 I would recommend a video by Paul, called the three joints
I'm over here trying to make a coffee table with power tools thinkin im hot shit..
This guy is a gd Jedi.. new sub..
That is a gorgeous piece! Beautifully done! Thank you for sharing.
In so much of woodworking, we try to make the seams look seamless. The way your dovetails are, you are "celebrating" the seams. An approach I have never tried. It's cool.
Nice small bench. The time taken for building with hand tools is worth the effort. Takes function to the level of art. I'm reminded by your video of how people made heirloom quality furniture before electricity and power tools that endured the test of time. Nice relaxing and satisfying video.
That’s the feeling I’m getting working with hand tools. Worth the time and effort. Thanks for watching.
A man after my own heart, reminds me of being back in High School. That's the way to do woodwork, well done, Stewart, south west Australia.
Thank you Stewart, appreciate it.
The way you took dove tail saw off shelve showed me you are having fun to go along with your creativity and knowledge. Never saw overhung dovetails. Very cool.
Awesome work! So neat and beautiful end product
Very nice. The true art of woodworking, just sharp tools and 1 manpower.
I love the aesthetic of hand cut dovetails. I think it's beautiful because one tail can look close to the other but have just minor imperfections that is the human element you just won't get out of a router.
Exactly. None of the tails are exactly the same 👍
Wonderful fine work.
Surely it is worth watching and the best part is made just by using hand tools only no electric except for at one point you used dust collector , well it doesn't count.
Well, that was enjoyable! Thanks
es hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht zuzusehen. Danke!
ME GUSTA MUCHO
Wonderfull work
I love to watch chisel action!
Neat job, a true craftsman.
Great work and presentation. Thank you.
It’s very enjoyable watching your performance. I, always learn a lot . Thanks.
Absolutely gorgeous!
Brilliant video!
I wish you good health, thanks
Thanks, same to you 🙌
I just might try making this exact stool But I'll admit. I'm terrible with hand chisels so my version of an ASMR video would include a few choice words not safe for kids. 😂
What a beautiful piece, I really enjoyed, and admire the workmanship!
Much appreciated. Thanks for watching.
Looks amazing. The chamfered edges on the tails are a nice touch. I mostly make small boxes and I might do something similar for my next project.
Not the biggest fan of no-commentary builds…… but this was incredible ❤
Great job it looks great
Simplemente fantástico!
you did an Awesome job I like watching some day I want to try
Thank you. You should definitely try. Hand tool work is very calming and therapeutic.
Magnificent!
I use Olson Spiral blades, so I'm used to the breakage. :) Beautiful work. Great music. I could watch these kinds of videos all day long. Best of luck.
Thank you. Never used spiral blades. I have finally discovered to use Pégas blades for my coping saw. They might be the best 👍
Very Nice!!
Amei esse banquinho , gratidão infinita 🌟👏👏🎉🥂😄💖.
Thank you 🙂
Spectacular 😍
New to your channel, beautiful work and a very enjoyable and relaxing video to watch. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
What an absolute stunning piece of art. Really enjoyed your craftsmanship in both the build and the video. Subscribed.
Thank you!
Absolutely love it. Subbed!
Thank you 🙌
Beautiful video. It was a pleasure to watch. I’m mostly a power tool woodworker but appreciate the skill that goes into handtool work.
Question: how do you like the Furniture Butter long term? How does it hold up to use
Thank you, much appreciated!
It’s actually the first time using Furniture Butter. It looks pretty good using it almost a month, but can’t say anything long term..
New subscriber here!
Nice work! The hench looks great! You have a lot of patience to use hand tools. I do not possess this patience 😅.
Thanks for sharing your talents!
Beautiful work and design. New sub
The seat of that bench is the most beautiful wood! What is it? That’s a charming little bench.
That’s Walnut. My favorite to work with 🙂
@@HarisWoodshop Oh, thank you for telling me!
Dovetailed your dovetail jig? Love it. 🕊
Wow, great work. The wood colour really deepened after the finish a lot, does it develop under light?
Thank you. Walnut basically stays the same. Cherry darkens just slightly over time.
A lovely piece! It would be a shame to use it
Great video and music. Is that oil made from real walruses??
Thank you. No of course not, luckily 😄 the ingredients are tung oil, linseed oil, safflower oil, carnauba wax and pine rosin.
tudo muito artesanal da trabalho mais vale a pena tudo nota 10 queria saber de uma coisa onde você comprou aquela serrinha de mâo aquela vermelha pode falar obrigado
Thank you. It is from Knew Concepts.
@@HarisWoodshop obrigado amigo
Nicely done! Is that a Gyokucho Kamino Utsuwa dovetail saw you used at one point?
Thank you! Yes, the Kami No Utsuwa is an amazing dozuki saw 👍
Awsome work buddy! Subscribed
Thanks! 🙌
woodworking teenager, "Grandmother, can I have some money to buy woodworking tools? I'll make ya a really cool bench."
Granny, "Sure, sweetie. How much do ya need? Will $500 be enough?"
Teen, "Add two zeros."
Granny, "50K for a bench!!!"
Plot twist: I am the Grandmother.
@@HarisWoodshop , that makes two of us. Ha
@@robertcornelius3514
All you need is a hand plane, saw, chisel and hammer. You could achieve that for under $50.
Very well-made and informative video but dump the goofy music so we can clearly hear the sound of the tools as they work the wood.

Music is perfect
Beautiful piece, but Walrus Oil, is it make from 100% Walrus? ;)
The company states: “No walruses were harmed.” and “Trust the Tusk” 😂
@@HarisWoodshop 🤣
Did you make that woodworking vice yourself? If so can you do a video of it?
The vise is part of the workbench. Sjöbergs Elite 1500. It’s the sturdiest workbench and vise I have ever used.
@@HarisWoodshop Thanks for the information
Is this for sale?
No, sorry.
Why? Just why?
Because. Just because.
Why glue
....beautiful work
@@wm.l.arthur1776eventhough the dovetail joints are a tight fit, the bench will be picked up and moved around a lot.
I’ve been woodworking for well over 45 years. When I started, glues weren’t great (but certainly better than 200 years ago) and it’s was common to use a mechanical joint such as dovetails. Now, dovetails - or any mechanical joint not also using glues are not needed. My problem with them is that, almost invariably, they are an ego statement by the maker to other makers to say “look, I can hand build dovetails”. I have never known a non-woodworking member of the public demand dovetails - in fact, I had one who asked what were those funny arrow-type bits on the drawer. And she was right; the piece was a simple (hopefully) elegant design and I introduced a non-simple joint because I could.
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should
Having said all that, dovetails but particularly houndstooth, can add to the design. And I think this stool proves that.
If you like cutting dovetails, then carry on. It is a good way to improve hand/eye/tool skills that you will need for other elements - but dovetails do not a woodworker make.
As you get older and older, you need more machinery to relieve you of the initial hard work. So, I now use machines to rough dimension and then hand tools to finesse. You would be very lucky to get to the age of 70 and still be able to spend hours using hand tools only.
Dovetails are not needed, correct. I do it anyway, because woodworking is my hobby. Time is not money for me. I don’t sell my pieces. I keep them or give it away. This little bench is for my 7 year old son. Does he understand the nice esthetics of dovetails? Ofcourse not. I do it for myself. I find handtool work relaxing and satisfying. I don’t think it has to do anything with age, but the purpose why one does woodworking. Thank you for your comment.
@@HarisWoodshop thank you for the reply. As I said, if you like cutting them, then it’s a personal choice. I guess the aim of my original comment was to newcomers who (in my experience) seem to regard hand cut dovetails as almost the first essential joint to be mastered. Whilst the process does improve some basic skills, I tried to teach a son (now a professional cabinet maker) that design (including timber choices) is the first element and then you think of how you might make that. If I’m building something in a Greene and Greene style, I will use extended box joints and square pegs etc; if I’m building something that CFA Voysey might have designed, then dovetails might be appropriate; if it’s a modern design, then I suggest dovetails would be inappropriate. Again, all design led.
The worst thing for me is machine cut dovetails as they manage to combine ugliness and unnecessary!
I think everyone would agree that the most important thong is to get people making. Making anything. If it’s a bird house screwed together, the. Great; it’s a start and if you enjoy the process, then carry on and develop your skills.

Dovetail are the strongest and most secure joint in terms of directional force. A glue joint only such as a butt joint has to rely upon the chemical bond and that simply would not be reliable. So what joint would you suggest using?
@@Art-is-craft a dovetail is a strong mechanical joint and doubly so when combined with a chemical element. But is all that strength necessary? I know of drawers that are in daily use that I made 40 or possibly 35 years ago; they have dovetail joints - no glue and are still tight. Then I know of other drawers and chests, again in daily use, that have lock joints with glue and are, again, in perfect condition.
To take an extreme, build welded steel framed drawers for ultimate strength. Of course. That element of strength is probably never needed practically and I suggest that the same principle applies to dovetail joints. So often, but not always, it is this ego joint.
You asked about alternatives. The lock joint is very good when glued if you don’t want end grain showing, the mitre lock joint. The simple down joint is always reliable and discreet. On some pieces, I like to use metal rod inserted parallel to the drawer fronts. In brass or copper, they have a look and offer tremendous strength when used with the appropriate glue.
As I said originally, I like the aesthetic of the extended dovetails on the piece being made. I also like the aesthetic of houndstooth joints when appropriate.
@@theofarmmanager267
A bench would be subjected to directional forces that the dovetail can absorb. Other methods could be used but they would not be easier or better.
Awesome work. Subscribed to your TH-cam channel and instagram page. Thanks
Thank you, appreciate it! 🙌
