- This is my workbench build, a hugely significant part of my workshop! The design belongs to the excellent Third Coast Craftsman...his build is linked below:
• The PERFECT Woodworkin...
Chris also has plans for this bench on his website:
www.thirdcoastcraftsman.com/p...
The design is based on two traditional workbench styles, the British Nicholson Bench & the French Roubo.
The bench is made of Hard Maple, and uses a Veritas Front Vice & Axminster Trade Quick Release Vice - for links to these vices & the majority of the tools I used on this build, please refer to the My Tools section of my website, where you can find links where to buy as well:

Love the excitement after the legs are fitted
Big moment, big relief! cheers
Beautiful. Would last for generations.
Thanks so much!
A true work of art, and a beautiful workbench always. This will be here longer than we will.
Thanks very much!
Great attention to detail, patience, and work. Discipline to your craft equals great craftsmanship!
Thanks very much! :-)
This workbench is nothing short of magnificent. Such perfection.
Thanks so much :-)
Great build. The bench is lovely, as is the videography. Your shop is cleaner than my kitchen
Thanks very much, the cleaniness unfortunately never stays that way! ;-)
Wow!! I've done framing work but never anything like wood working.
You have inspired me to take the next step. Your shop set up is a dream, too!!
Thanks for posting this. Truly amazing workbench!
Thanks so much, good luck with your next step!
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this, the craftsmanship is truly excellent
Thank you very much Luke!
Wow! That thing is a massive beast. Great build
Thanks v much Chris! It's got some weight for sure!
That is an awesome workbench - such a pleasure to watch the build. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much Duncan!

Thanks very much Brian, much obliged!
Fantastic build, I was mesmerised all the way through 👌

In the eyes of a woodworker, it's a beauty!👍
Thank you, even a few metal workers have said they like it ;-)

Gorgeous bit of woodwork. Thank you for sharing. Subscribed.
Thanks very much!
That is the type of woodworking bench I would love to have. Perfect !!
Thanks so much!
Watched a lot of workbench videos. This is the one I'm going to make. Thank you 👍😎
Awesome, thank you!
Great build. Great video. Keep up the great work!
I am deeply impressed. Wow what a bench 😍😍😍
Thank you very much! :-)
Built a bench myself a few mths ago ( more Jay Bates than traditional ) but mine is a lot smaller, no room. Love all the work holding potential on yours and the celebration when the top fit was epic. Good job. Regards Jim.
Big release of nervous energy! Spoke about that with Geoff Feder on Full Blast Podcast! :-) Thanks mate, much appreciated!
Very nice job! I have the same plans and will be building mine shortly. Can't wait.
Cheers! Have a great project!
Beautiful work! Thank you for inspiring
Thanks Williams! My pleasure!
Nice work. Look forward to seeing more
Thank you!
Really cool project and great work! Well done mate.
Thanks very much!
Absolutely stunning!
thanks so much!
I like your planner set up!👏
It's nice kit! :-)
Work of art, must be a dream to work on it. Cheers from the Netherlands.
Thanks Harry, it's lovely to work on! :-)
I heard you built that Fine Table for me. When can I pick that up, I mean when can the crane stop by to load my new table onto the flat-bed truck. What a beautiful table and Great work you did. I don't have all that equipment but I do have a hand planer and saw. It just going to take me a little longer. Fantastic Job!
Haha, many thanks for the kind comments, and we'd certainly need some heavy duty lifting gear! All projects can be made with hand tools, as you say, just takes longer, but how rewarding to it all with hand tools! The strange thing here, is that I was building this bench primarily for hand tool work! have fun, and good luck with your build!
I'm offering a suggestion here. Don't make multiple passes when making a cut with your miter saw. Put the power to it and do it in one pass. You don't make multiple passes when pushing a board through your table saw! The same thing applies here. (I'm speaking from 55+ years experience as a professional cabinet/home builder.)
Nice bench.
Thanks for the video.
Thank you mate, much obliged all round
That’s a work of art, really enjoyed that video. Glad I’ve stumbled across your Chanel. Also I’m from north wales to💪👍
Diolch yn fawr!! :-)
Great build, i learned some good tips watching your workflow!
Glad to help! Thanks mate
now that's a work bench , top job mate
Thanks v much!
Beautiful job. 👍👍
Thank you very much!
Beautiful work!
Thanks so much!
Amazing build. Kudos from Brazil. By the way, nice trick using tape to form an arc with the ruler.
Thank you! It's a cool trick! :-)
I'm building my first bench. Many thanks for the inspiration! Beautiful work my man! I'll have to improvise for a few steps since I have a more modest tool inventory haha.
Cheers, always a way, just may take longer...been there!
Wonderful craftsmanship my friend!
Thanks so much!
That is just beautiful! Good thing the saw horses were taller than the tops of the leg tenons.
Thank you, I'd like to say that was planned...;-)
Fantastic craftsmanship! I'd love to build a bench like this some day given the opportunity! I need to build a workshop first! Lol..
Great job! 👍💪🏴😎
Thanks so much, go build that workshop! :-)
Great video and amazing bench. Really enjoying all your videos. Diolch 👍🏻
Diolch yn fawr! :-)
One side Nicholson, the other side Roubo! I really like your design!
Yup, best of both worlds. Really nice solid bench.
The credit for the design must go to Chris, Third Coast Craftsman!
Perfect work bench my friend
Thanks so much!
A very nice job! well done.
Thanks very much :-)
That is outstanding work!
Thanks so much!
very goof project ...so well executed... great work...
Thanks very much :-)
For those who appreciate craftsmanship at a high level, this video is surely a joy to behold.
That said there is a strange blend of the ancient and the modern at work. The workshop is equipped with no expense spared apparently with its high quality professional grade machines. The design of the work bench is IMHO an example of medieval design, as used by builders of church rooves, trebuchets, and the heavy engineering projects of that period. The ergonomics of the design are based on the exclusive use of hand tools. There was reliance in those days on the use of the carpenters vice. Nowadays when clamps of various sizes and types are available at relatively low cost, a variety of holding the work is available,, which in turn should influence the design of an efficient work bench. A case in point : why build a bench at crotch height - great it you're hand planing - but back-breaking the rest of the time, when a surface at elbow height is more appropriate and comfortable.
In conclusion the final product would look good in a period piece re-creation of a medieval workshop, but is inefficient given modern power tools.
I imagine it depends somewhat on how he wants to use it. If he plans to start using hand tools for example it's definitely appropriate. When my low bench puts the work too far away, I just sit down at it or on it. Since my sawbenches are knee-height, they are perfect for sitting at the bench for marking out, cleaning up, what have you.
Thank you Harold, much obliged! I work with both hand tools & power tools/machines - the trade level machines are for majority of my client work, but I do alot of refinement for solid wood furniture on the bench...I have my outfeed/assembly table + paulk style benches higher, as you say much better working height for power tool usuage...thanks again!
What an amazing build!! Also a great video showing all the steps.
Thanks very much, much appreciated!
You do beautiful work. You could replace Norm Abram hands down. Keep up the great work and keep sending us the videos.
Thanks so much, although I'm a Brit, thankfully I know who Norm is, and thats very kind of you!! :-)
Epic build pal.

Great video and awesome bench. Well done man!
Thanks so much Chris :-)
Beautiful bench. I plan to build one soon, and the only thing I would do different is add bench dogs on the end vice. Magnificent job.
Cheers mate, and yeah, bench dogs definitely planned for the end vice, but we cant seem to get the pop-up versions from veritas in the UK anymore so I can just leave them in place! I may just get normal ones & keep them on hand!
Great bench, I really enjoyed that video 👍🏼
Thanks so much!
This workbench turned out beautiful!! Great job!
Thanks so much :-)
Man, great job on this!

Thanks so much :-)
Beautiful
Thank you!
Super !!! Great work!
Thanks so much!
Very beautiful job. I like 👍
Cheers Yves!
Ha ha ha ha... I think that the majority of the time, but it takes ‘something’ to get there? In the UK, the timber is usually too expensive (rock maple, birds eye maple etc) to do this work. I used CLS 62 x 38 mm from Wickes (10% off too) to make a bench. I laminated the top 20 x 38 = 760. I trebled up the legs 3 x 38. Then I cut the the front 62 x 38 as a reverse dovetail as per Roubo. Finally, I used a deadman from under the top to the stretchers - the stretchers did some of the bracing to minimise racking. I made up a Nicholson vice with two guide timbers and one centre screw. I cut up an old (seasoned well) Brazilian mahogany 2XG door and joined the stiles to make up 44 mm x 175 mm a vice chop. The inner vice chop was the bench top. Up the Villa!
Complimenti...fantastic!! form Monfalcone in Italy
Grazie mille Franco!
Great Job, awesome!!
Thanks so much!
bloody marvellous !!!
thanks very much Nigel!
Beautiful! 💪💪💪
Thank you Jay!

As long as it outlasts me & I hope to keep going for a while yet! :-)
@@DeerRiverCraftsman I'm much closer to the end than you are, I totally get it! 🤣

VERY NICE. Made one of these a few years ago (not nearly this nice, lol) - they are very functional. I just wish I had made it twice as large.
Thanks very much, there will always be that 1 job where we think, why didn't I build this bigger! :-)
good job !
Cheers!
