You poor brave man, I hate sharing my shop, it’s my me time, so to speak. It’s a place my girlfriend (and wife when I was married) thinks is a scary, dirty dangerous, terrifying place that they stay out of at all cost; and I’m totally fine with that lol.
Tusked tenon is probably my favorite way to make a mortise and tenon. I’m a huge fan of the knockdownyness of the joint but also just how surprisingly solid it is.
@@TankGunner84 No offense at all. I actually didn't even realize what James was going to title the video. I could see that interpretation without context.
James, do you intend to upload any videos of Sarah learning basic skills, like sawing straight and so forth? I think learning correct posture and body mechanics looking at someone having no skills is going to be very helpful for newbies like me.
Nice work Sarah!! :) It was good to see you havin fun with this one....you seem to be gettin more comfortable with the tools too :) I seen you get onto James before about chiseling toward himself.....youve picked up his bad habits hahaha :P Very well done darlin......it wont be long before you want your own workshop :)
Always fun to see the boss working in the shop. I look forward to seeing our hero in the shop more. Maybe you should change the name to Wood By Wrights. James needs to start saying "our tools" instead of "my tools" as the number of woodworkers in the family grows. Have fun and stay safe.
I was going to comment on the lack of "mom jokes" from Sarah, but you snuck one in at the end. Well done on the bench so far... and your second video with a starring role, and a distinct lack of plasters.
Sarah your first bench is looking better than mine... I remember watching Wood By Wright Videos on my hands and knees building it and dreaming of BLO and paste wax.
sarah, do you like the low angle better? why? i usually put paste wax on the pattern so glue wont stick and its easier to remove. reminds me that i need to order some from you today. i like western saws better. after i learned that it is a finnesse tool rather than a force one. great chisel work!
@@sarahwright7354 speaking of proper height, please include how to elect the height of the legs to fit the crafts-person's bench when you and James go to trim the legs to fit them to the bench top. Thanks ahead of time.
OH MY!!! I see it! sorry about that. I copied over the info from Patron info on the 7th but apparently a bunch of the renewals did not clear tell the 9th. so it dropped several people . I have fixed it and you should be back on the next video. sorry man!
Really great work Sarah!! Well well done. If I may, I found that as soon as I loosened my grip on saw handles and focused more on moving my elbow and shoulder like a steam train piston my sawing got way easier and there was less skipping (and thus it was way more fun). I try to imagine I'm holding a toddlers hand when I'm sawing, very gentle but conscious. Sorry if that sounds man-splainy but I found it hugely helpful.
Do you recall what angle your legs were cut at? I’m making a 5 ft version and a 15 degree angle kind of feels like it puts the legs too close together.
I am about to build my first workbench, a Moravian style, and am 5'2". I am very curious how tall Sarah is and what the final height of her workbench was. Recommended advice suggests calculating finished height from the joint of your thumb: 28.5". But that seems very short! The problem is that I can't just build it extra long and shave off inches till I get it right or I will run into the short stretchers. Any advice?
Siri is 4 f t 10 and the bench is about 32-in high. There are lots of different rules of thumb out there and they all depend on personal taste. Most power tool woodworkers like the bench to be lower so they can get more weight on top of the plane. This allows you to plane much easier with a full iron. Most all hand tool woodworkers like the bench to be taller so they get more weight behind the plane. This is easier to push but it means you have to sharpen more often. But in the end it all just comes down to what you like. My best suggestion is grab a board and a hand plane and go around the house and put them on different surfaces tables washer and dryer and things like that. Then find out at what height feels comfortable to you. Then make it about an inch taller than that that gives you a little bit you can shave back to. Once you build it then you can try it being shorter by putting lumber on the floor to stand on. Once you find exactly what feels best to you then you can cut the legs to that.
I was expecting Sarah to say " I'm Sarah Wright, welcome to MY shop"
She will, someday

Oooo!! His wife Sarah lmao, I was thinking a Sarah bench was some style of bench I’ve never heard of. 🙄
Hahaha
@@sarahwright7354 no offense though ma’am, you seem like you’d be a pleasure to work with 😊
It is, it's a shorter stout version of a hybrid workbench for Hobbits and Mountain Dwarves. (Just kidding you Sarah, we love you.)
@@thomasarussellsr LOL

yes. we have done a few basic skills videos on the lives. I try to do those every now and then with new woodworkers.
I'm impressed the improvement of comfort level Sarah showed in handling tools. Wonderful
Nice work Sarah!! :) It was good to see you havin fun with this one....you seem to be gettin more comfortable with the tools too :)

Should and need to. Funny.
James you better make her a very romantic dinner after saying she would get her bench finished in 2022
Well Done!!!! Thank You Sarah!!!!🌹😃👍😎🤣👊

She’s starting those saw cuts with no problem now! Good work Sarah. Really inspiring to see!
Sarah your first bench is looking better than mine... I remember watching Wood By Wright Videos on my hands and knees building it and dreaming of BLO and paste wax.
She looks almost as in control as my wife. God bless and good luck!(and keep having fun)
Soon to be She Shack 😆
Nice going Sarah! Im hopping to see this build to get inspiration for my own bench. Keep safe! Cheers form Portugal
What do you mean we are making she did the making not the we you say lol nice job Sarah will probably be doing the channel soon
Very cool Sarah.
I thought you guys forgot about Sarah's bench for a minute. Haha
no Sarah just is a fulltime nurse so not much free time left to work on it.
woot!! even before i watch it!! bout time sarah!
O , I can't wait to see the hole workbench 🤔 Well done sara . 👌
Pretty beautiful work, guys! 😃
It's looking great!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I doesn't matter what the situation is, leg day _always_ sucks.
Coming soon, wood by Sarah, good job.
Great Job Sarah!!!
Yay! More of the Sarah bench ark!
Coming along nicely Sarah!

I think when I can do all tasks at the proper height I will have a better idea of what actually works and what I like.
@@sarahwright7354 that makes a ton of sense

Im not on the list anymore at the end (Rides off with head down) Grreat work on the bench Queen Sarah! KOTWO!
What do you mean?
OH MY!!! I see it! sorry about that. I copied over the info from Patron info on the 7th but apparently a bunch of the renewals did not clear tell the 9th. so it dropped several people . I have fixed it and you should be back on the next video. sorry man!
Great work. Fun to see you two working on a project together.
Thanks for sharing that, good lesson!
ya Sara's bench
thank you i do like the play on words

You're totally right, it's just translation to practice. It'll only come with repetition.
It’s great your working side by side! Would you consider making drawings available?
We will have those out when it is done. Best to work the links out first.
Never skip leg day.
Do you recall what angle your legs were cut at? I’m making a 5 ft version and a 15 degree angle kind of feels like it puts the legs too close together.

Woot Woot. congrats!

Nice to see you and your mom are able to do woodworking together
With all these "patterns" and "ripping", I wish your mic had a pop-filter.
Ya I changed that mic a while ago.
