This was quite a build to watch!! Thanks for the video. I did notice your bench being loaded in the back of a pick-up truck. Did you happen to sell this bench & if you did, did you deliver it as well?? See ya & Merry Christmas!! 🎄🎁 🎅🎄
I showed this incredible workbench to my wife and she said it would make an amazing dining table! Oh, the humanity! The love and respect for the 500 year old tree, that is so apparent in this phenomenonal build transcendences traditional workmanship. You are a wood working god.
I love how you somehow doubt your abilities as a woodworker, yet you're out here building some of the most beautiful and complicated builds on any channel on this platform. You're out here killing it!! Keep up the awesome work. Love it!
You are an oasis in a desert of woodworking on TH-cam. I have been Jonesing waiting for you to post something new. You are one of a very few creative woodworkers on the channel worth watching. You are definitely museum worthy. Keep it up and you will be one of very few worth remembering.
Agreed 100%. TH-cam is full of hipsters that have been fooled into believing they're "woodworkers" by an algorithm. This channel is actual woodworking. No pocket holes, no corners cut, no hiding errors with trim, etc. It is great to have another quality channel to look forward to learning from, because there aren't many left! ps- I prefer the solid top as well.
5.5 minutes in, and I am already blown away once again not just by your creativity (which is in itself mindblowing) but the level of skill you bring. Top that off with pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone, and it is no wonder I eagerly await new content from you.
As a US veteran suffering from PTSD and trauma from life’s ups n downs, I found woodworking as a way to cope and balance out life’s pressures. I find it quite relaxing, rewarding, satisfying, and sometimes complicated lol I love the masterpiece you’ve built. I would love to have the toys in your shop too. I love learning the various techniques and technologies used in woodworking. Great job my friend, a fan from MT
I am a primarily hand tool woodworker - no power tools. I like basic, minimalist design with clean, straight lines and properly hand-cut joinery with no metal fasteners. I hate router roundover edges, unnecessary curves and racing stripes made out of contrasting woods. I think wagon vises are inferior to traditional tail vises and will never understand people who run a router with a chamfer bit in their workbenches' dog holes. HOWEVER... This design just blew my mind. I've watched the video three times since you posted it a few days ago and I can only say I am in awe of your skills, both in design and craftsmanship. The way the arched legs get thinner at the top of the arch is just such an elegant detail - which is hard to admit for someone who hates curves! Truly elegant design and perfect execution. I'm not about to go out and buy a pantorouter just yet, but I really want to thank you for showing this old fart some new perspective. I would be proud to work on this bench - even if it looked wildly out of place in my shop. Have you considered adding some dog holes on the front legs to help support longer boards, panels, doors, etc. to work on their edges? I have a sliding deadman on my (tradtional) Roubo workbench that gets a ton of use, but I think some well positioned dog holes along the right side of the arch would probably get you most of the functionality of a deadman - and the asymmetrically placed holes on just the right side of the arch would look sick in this design. Anyways, thanks again for the video. Truly inspiring stuff. P.S. - You made the right decision in going with the solid top. Split tops are just silly.
I absolutely love this. Thank you for giving it a chance. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate that and thank you for the kind words. Definitely think some dog holes or perhaps a hook that works in the dog strip to support long boards is in order. I decided that should be done as needed as it’s not something I have needed to do a ton and I didn’t want to drill the wrong hole. This comment really made me smile. Thanks again for taking the time. Take care
Я не пользуюсь пылесосом я использую веник я не езжу на машине я хожу пешкомя не ипользую электричество я сижу при лучине просто выпендреж на голом месте! Все инструменты имеют место быть есть то что не может сделать даже самый навороченный инструмент но есть и то что традиционным инструментам не под силу сядь на камушек возьми кусок обсидана и строгай палочку если ты такой мастер отрицающий инструменты
I love how the things you make aren't simple straight lines etc. They're not simple, you put real thought into what you design & put huge effort into doing it well. Def one of the best workworking channels on YT imo!
Woke up early, and clicked on TH-cam. Found this. Frigging Brilliant. Made my day and I’m still in bed. Really nice job man. Inspirational to say the least. Is there anything more fun than working with your hands and making beautiful things. Thanks for being!
Absolutely beautiful. I prefer the solid top as well. The opening in the split-top is just a catch-all for all the dust, chips, and that one tool you can't seem to locate.
I know nothing about woodworking but I couldn't stop watching this. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen to work on..It's like ART that is useful..Such talent..
Always shocked there's not a million subscribers to this channel, I don't even do woodwork and it's in my top 5. Thanks for the great content and videos
Not much can be said apart from what has been already. It is, of course, a unique perspective on a woodworking necessity and masterfully executed. It's my hope for you that your creation be added to the annals of woodworking history. Perhaps your bench design can come to be known with as much regard as Roubo's. Well done, sir.
Yeah bring art nouveau back.. that workbench looks like an elven workbench in the Lord of the Rings fantasy world, I just love elven architecture because it's art nouveau..
I know that I'm only repeating what many have already said, but that bench is a thing of beauty. You should be proud of this one, for sure. I am certainly looking forward to seeing the plans come up for sale. Well done, amigo, and keep up the fabulous work.
Complete insanity. The way the wood gradients from light to dark and the tiniest of details im nothing but amazed. Applause from Sweden and thank you so much for this, best 24 minutes spent on youtube ever.
Congratulations on making the most beautiful and the most insane Workbench of the human History!! As always, you are absolutely the most underrated Craftsman on TH-cam. You deserve billions of Subscribers. Thank you for the Video.
May I first say, that you, Sir, are the Michelangelo of precision joinery. That bench is a sculpture, almost too beautiful to risk putting scratches on. You certainly have a collection of wood working tools that are second to none, but your most valuable asset is what you store between your ears. I certainly hope you will come out with more projects for us mere mortals to watch, and drool.
I love the way how your ads come into view as a PiP (Pic in Pic); frankly that's the first time I remembered the name of the company in that ad as it's unobstrusive and less irritating compared to the other standard ads you see on other TH-cam channels! Keep up the good "wood"-working! That Roubo Workbench belongs in an art museum!
If I ever ever get enough money, I will buy one of you as this is true craftsmanship. It is beautiful as in beautiful. The first time I saw a wood shop furniture, I would rather put it in my dining room and eat off it a be proud of owning it. I don't go to classical concerts but BRAVO any way 👏
Only one word to describe this build: "Amazing". Sir, you have mad skills. Totally blown away by your woodworking abilities. Thank you for sharing this video. What a beautiful bench.
I think I’d like to compliment this for what it is; an exercise in design and masterful technique. It is lovely to look at, very well made, and skillfully fitted. The hardware is superb. In the end, like many masterwork style pieces, it’s not super practical. However, you are a true craftsman. Well done!
Hi Sawyer , You are a very lucky man with all that timber and that page as well very very good quality. I have worked for myself for over 40 years I’m now retired but in that time I’ve used a lot of Douglas fir. To make windows 🪟 and Doors 🚪. I will try and source quartersawn boards as they are more stable and a lot better for making doors and windows out of so making a workbench in this manner I think is very very good. I have been watching your channel for a few years now you always produce some great work stay safe wear mask and eye protection wherever possible. Now retired living in France and I still wish I’m working Phil from the moulin France.
@@SawyerDesign I am in the Correze in a old moulin/ mill , In the middle of the French countryside I’m afraid about 400 miles away from Paris or thereabouts.
Man I am just so impressed with this. I watch so many makers on TH-cam literally every day and just silently admire. Literally never comment. But this, I had to say something about. Very well done, just amazing.
Jesus… in a world where TH-cam is bursting at the seams with workbench build vids, this is one of the dews videos that genuinely stands apart.. and from my perspective, that might be one of the most difficult accomplishments for a woodworker using the platform.. Much respect and blessings from Maui, gonna try to keep a closer eye on posts this channel uploads
I am constantly amazed at your skill repertoire, whether it be with large workshop machines, hand power tools or straight out hand tools. It is a joy for an 'old' man used to working with his hand tools to see you so happily transition to power tools to pure hand tools with such comfort & accomplishment. You will happily pick up a plane of any size or a chisel etc & use them with such great skill. This bench you have made may be a work station but it is also a work of Art & be admired as such. Some of the joints you worked out for this piece were so complicated but made to look relatively simple by your skills & thinking ability. Magnificent stuff my friend, I will watch this many times to come such was the pleasure for this old disabled man. Cheers, Don from South Aust.
Damn this thing turned out good. Your skill level is obviously higher than you give yourself credit for. This is a piece that will last multiple lifetimes. Beautiful work.
I have to say that you are extraordinarily talented wood crafter. I do not know how you thought this design up, you are on a superior level of wood creativity. Thanks
Your skill is outstanding. But beyond that, your design is exceptional. This is the most stunning piece of furniture I've ever seen!! And its a workbench!!
The only thing more sexy than watching a man working (literal) wood, designing and building extraordinarily beautiful creative and useful products and that is watching the same guy surf ! Amazing!!! Loved the techno phantom of the opera music around 18 minutes in. I don’t typically comment or subscribe (big deal, right?!) but this vid warranted it.
This is not only a work bench it's a dining room table and piece of artwork as well. Ironically its much to beautiful to be a work bench. It's more of a look at and admire bench.
A personal touch on a classic design to make a stunning bench. Your level of skill matched with your eye for design makes a great video to watch. Keep up the great work.
Hey Nick, Super design and build. Love the way you've incorporated allot of "Japanese style" joinery in this piece...fit's together without unnecessary hardware and provides a nice clean solid look. Also noticed that you have gone back to your earlier style of video editing...no flashy fades and wipes and dancing text, plus background music that does not distract from your voice-over. Nice touch at the finally where you bring in the John Williams style orchestration...the grand crescendo. Every build you do surpasses the last as a true craftsman's work should be: push your limits to learn and enjoy what you do. Thx
This morning, I saw that there was a new video........."oh great, I'll look at it tonight, it will be my reward of the day".....soooo, I looked at it this evening. As usual, blown away!
That's astounding. I was gobsmacked watching the video. Yes, you have invested a lot of $$$ in tools and machinery, but it's what you do with that kit that matters. Astounding! While I commend you for offering to make the plans available, I'm not sure there's too many woodworkers capable of doing it justice.
Incredible craftsmanship! Beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing all the details. I just started a side table with curved legs and supports. I drew it out last week and found your video searching for leg glue up methods. Your bench looks very similar to my drawing, of course mine is on a smaller scale. I can't match your craftmanship but I will use your video for tips on my construction.
Great job it was awesome to see what you do and you are very technical, and don’t take no notice of negativity from other people again you had me very interested throughout the hole video awesome job thanks mate

Такой верстак достоин передачи по наследству несколькими поколениями!!!!!!
You Sir are the Artist of Function. You just happen to work in wood. I continue to be awestruck by every creation. Thank you for sharing your magic.
The only problem with this as a work bench is that it looks so amazing I’d be afraid of ruining it. You did a damn good job on this.

Beyond amazing!
Beautiful, elaborate, precise, functional...and did I say..BEAUTIFUL!!!!
You sure are talented!
Too kind! Thanks So much, Andrea!
This bench is insane! 🤩 But what’s even crazier is the time it probably took to film/ edit!! 🤯 Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼🙌🏻

The workbench is a piece of art. Beautiful! thanks for sharing.
The precision and design was Top-Notch!
Better than the original version! Nicely done!!
Incredible craftsmanship! Beautiful piece. Thank you for sharing all the details. I just started a side table with curved legs and supports. I drew it out last week and found your video searching for leg glue up methods. Your bench looks very similar to my drawing, of course mine is on a smaller scale. I can't match your craftmanship but I will use your video for tips on my construction.
That's majestic af dude. I stand astonished at your mind each time you make something.
The bench is a work of art and this video about it was amazing I'm glad I found this channel.
Great job it was awesome to see what you do and you are very technical, and don’t take no notice of negativity from other people again you had me very interested throughout the hole video awesome job thanks mate
Aesthetically pleasing to the eye and brilliantly functional! Respectful use of "old" timber. Much respect. Regards, Mark (South Africa)
