Wow, just WOW! Amazing dedication and work..... Sawyer, a sawer from ancient times!
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'm more partial to popsicle top workbench.
Is not only a workbench, it is also a piece of art.
True craftsmanship!
PIZZA fart
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.
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.
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!
Thanks Josh! It’s been a weird thing to be working completely out of my comfort zone with an audience. Appreciate the kind words!
Sometimes challenging oneself to overcome obstacles and learn new skills is as fun as the accomplishment.
@@SawyerDesign I’m working in my comfort zone without an audience and I screw up more than I succeed
@@terristroh3965 I feel ya ... lol
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.
Повністю відповідає моїй думці.
Agreed!! It's a stunning work of art!
I see a stunning bench like this and I picture Franc Clause working on it 😎
Most people use a workbench to make a masterpiece but you made a masterpiece out of the workbench.
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
Thanks so much!
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.
Thanks so much Rick!
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.
The Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer would've liked this one ! Fabulous design and craftmanship. ThX for sharing.
ABOUT ALL I CAN SAY IS I LOVE THIS BENCH. LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEL.CAUSE IF YOUR BENCH LOOKS LIKE THIS, I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHATS NEXT. 😮
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.
Thank you so much!! No progress unless it’s a little uncomfortable.
@@SawyerDesign So true. If we aren't failing, we aren't trying enough.
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!
Такой верстак достоин передачи по наследству несколькими поколениями!!!!!!
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!
Beyond amazing!
Beautiful, elaborate, precise, functional...and did I say..BEAUTIFUL!!!!
You sure are talented!
Too kind! Thanks So much, Andrea!
Insane dude. That bench is un-re-al. Not only the workbench, but the video itself is world class.
Making us all drool with all 10 of your fingers, as usual!!
Split Top Sawyer!
Let’s Go!! 🔥🔥🔥
And, you also get credit for the great video editing and soundtracks lol had me doing the Split Top Sawyer Dance at the end😂 or…. What I’m considering the dance.
That’s unbelievable, you set the bar at an entirely new level with every one of your builds!!!
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.
Sweet baby jeebus... that is AMAZING... your level of creativity and skillsets are insane my friend .RESPECT.
That tree is in tree heaven singing your praises to the assembled forest.
Absolutely the best looking bench I have ever seen. You sir are a master.
Man, that is badass. The structural engineer in me approves the use of arches wherever possible. Beautiful work, brother.
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..
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.
What a GREAT peace of design that works! I love it!
Greets from good ol Germany
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.
I have been waiting for this!!! So excited to see this come together. Great execution sir!
Hopefully worth the wait! Thanks Scott
@@SawyerDesign It certainly was! Thank you.
this is the best table i have ever seen. I want this in my Kitchen and in my workshop 😁
You did that old growth proud!
Caramba, o nível de perfeição é absurdo!
I want that in my kitchen not my workshop. Just stunning.
Just here to say thanks and help with the algorithm…. Legend
Just do you, don’t ever care what people might think. It’s not built for them.
I skim watch everything on TH-cam, even short videos. This I watched from beginning to end. Genius
What a beautiful finish - to the arc of that trees' life....
No mere bench; a nordic inpsired altar for prayer to the gods of the wood. B-e-a-utiful work.
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
BRILLIANT... ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!!!!!
Amen
Retired, Veteran
Better than the original version! Nicely done!!
One of the best things I've ever seen
Oh my god!
One word: AWESOME!!!
Gerard
Thanks Gerard!
I don’t fuss with my shop furniture too much but, I’m glad there are people like you who do.
ROFLMAO when I saw half of your fingers covered in bandages! Nice! I can relate to that.
One workbench to rule them all.
The words "it’s just shop furniture" shall never be uttered on this channel.
Haha never!
Here's a comment for you... Absolutely amazing!!!
MAGNIFICENT!!!! aesthetics and funtionality.
First 10 seconds got me so excited. This build is stupid good.
Plans? Well skills aside, it takes a mad man to build this.
Still accually in disbelief, how stunning this is.
Thanks Borys!! Haha there’s gotta be other crazy people out there. You already know I’m a little nuts.
That is the sexiest workbench ever built!
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
Saw this on Reddit, so nice to see the build!
BEAUTIFUL , ITS A WORK OF ART, TO NICE TO USE THAT IS A REAL SHOW PIECE
When craftsmanship meets ideas, it is called art, but when precise and very accurate craftsmanship meets beautiful ideas, like it is in your case, it should be called hyper-art or creation
This bench is insane! 🤩 But what’s even crazier is the time it probably took to film/ edit!! 🤯 Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼🙌🏻
1750 Roubo workbench
2022 Sawyer workbench
The most beautiful bench ever seen in the modern era.
Greetings from Italy
What a wonderful tribute to so ancient a tree.
you are the david foster wallace of woodworking: i would love to be able to give you a hug in person, but it probably wouldn't help much, regardless, wonderful stuff, and you make me wanna be better at woodworking and be a better person.
that is flat-smooth spectacular. outSTANDing. thank you.
You are my new fuqing hero. I've got some envy overhere. I just watched a video where you say youve been doing this for three years and well..... Ive been working with wood for ten times that literally 30 years I dont have half your skill and no where near your talent. Bad ass my man.
i was so delighted with the aesthetic of my Moravian workbench… until i saw yours. 😍
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 would keep that in the living room. Nice work
Damn. I’d put that in my living room. You aced it. Masterful.
Thanks so much Robert!
gorgeous design, fantastic craftsmanship, be proud my friend
Cet etabli est juste un chef-d'œuvre.
saw this on my instagram feed and now it’s here!
That's A LOT of great work.but this everlasting pice is definitely worth it.congratulations👍
Le plus bel etabli qui m'ai été donné de voir ,le plus complexe dans sa fabrication .Un grand coup de chapeau
500k in tools, jeez man 🤙
....am more blown away by your setup than the bench
Became a follower after watching you and your excitement for the build and use of different but not over the top techniques. Gonna need a bigger shop? LOL!
The best workbench I have ever seen made on you tube….. greetings from down under Australia….stay safe!
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 👏
A truly work of love and more so it’s a functional work bench that’s is a sweet art piece
Amazing job buddy it turned out great! I’m glad to have had the opportunity to see it in person.
Ok come on man, that thing looks too good to be a shop bench. Fantastic craftsmanship. You turned a 600 year old beautiful wood into a work of art.
Dude! Well done!!I keep watching this and strive for your vision and determination. Eventually.. I'll destroy a project trying to match your skill. Eventually..
This workbench is off chops mate!! Blown away by the intricacy of the design, the execution & the editing/videography. Hats off to you
AWESOME!!! or - a piece of art that is more than a workbench
Ok hands down my favorite take on the roubo workbench! Amazing work, my workbench is now bowing down screaming “we’re not worthy!” Ala Wayne’s World 🤣
Man there is a level of insanity in this build. Definitely worth the watch and sub. Do we all need this in our shop? HELL YEAH. Beautifully done
If the arches were golden.... 😆🤣 Amazing build 👍👍👍👍
That is the most. Beautiful workmanship I have ever seen. Than you for showing.
wow I'm amazed by this masterpiece, congratulations it's beautiful
Doug fir and mahog (?) nice combo. I love working with doug fir. Lovely build. Amazed how you captured so much of it on camera. Even your struggles to stand the beast up.
Thanks Thom!
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!
So glad it was worth the treat. Thanks Richard!
Outstanding job. You are a Craftsman for sure.
Thanks so much!
That thing is so dope…
New gen Roubo is like looking at a new cars compared to the originals. So cool
Hey! Thanks so much, @MasterRodes11! Glad you enjoyed 🤙
Stunning! Really love the design. Especially the reveal between the arch and the benchtop; that gives it the balance it needs.
The probably the prettiest workbenc I've ever seen......
new age of woodworker, new age of woodworking bench. 👍👍👍
Dude, another banger, absolutely gorgeous, and the 500 year old lumber: *chef’s kiss*
😙🤌
All I can say is: WOW!
Поставить в гостиную и пыль стирать!!!) Супер!
that square block in a round hole for centering: pure class👏
that is simply stunning, way too nice to suffer the punishment that a workbench goes through. I'd definitely have it as piece of art furniture inside the house
The only woodworking vid ive went back and watched twice👍!
