That is the most beautiful leg vise I've ever seen.The jumbled grain in that piece of hickory was a great choice, and oiling it brought out the beauty of the piece. Love your simple solution for adjusting the foot of the vise.
I sure am glad I waited until the end of the video. I had to double my anxiety meds for stressing over the screws and blue paint. WHEW! Great job and this is the bench I'm building.
Your articulation is so precise and clear. You explain things so thoroughly without pontificating. I'll never be a woodworking in the traditional sense, but I still gain useful knowledge from your videos. Thanks, Jay
"The best wood to use is the wood you have available." Simple but yet very effective and true advice!!! Really nice work bench and innovative ideas for the vice. Thanks Jay!
Jay that Hickory has some wicked grain in it..Great job. This spring I'm going to try and make a bench like this. I'm a beginning woodworker. I seen one of your vids back when you were at the apartment complex and you got me started on woodworking. Being an Amputee and in a wheelchair your vids got me through the 8 months I was in the hospital. So Thank you Jay...
This might be the most beautiful work bench I have seen! I think/thought walnut would be my choice of wood but after seeing the hickory I am rethinking it all. Amazing job thanks for sharing! The things people loose sleep over never cease to amaze me
You are so detailed in your explanations and thinking. What a beautiful mind. Seriously. Don’t lose that! Amidst a world where stupidity seems comenplace, maybe even “cool”, I like coming here to gain in my intellect :)
Someday Jay, someone is going to look at this beautiful bench with the patina given to it by the craftsman who built it with awe and wonder just what stories it could tell if it could talk. Beautifully done.
As you were carrying the slab to the bench, it looked pretty heavy. Then you rolled it over and my eyes popped out of my head. It It appears that it was nearly 3" thick!! Your a beast 👍👍👍
You know your audience well. The blue hardware was making me anxious, and then when you revealed the black painted footage, I felt a disproportionately large sense of relief. Thanks for the great video.
I'm laughing about the dowels and screws a bit more than I think I should. Anyway, I enjoy watching your videos. They are always fun! Thanks for sharing!
Lmao!! "I don't have enough aspirin for that!" Always enjoy your videos Jay. Thanks for putting all that additional work into making them. Always detailed and informative.
When all the rest of TH-cam is spending tons of time and money building torsion boxes, MFTs, and adding Benchcrafted Leg vice$, it is really refreshing to see such a simply built, beautiful, functional bench. And the choochoo at 12:30 really had me glad that I was not drinking coffee - I would have spewed all over! :-D
I really enjoyed this video. I appreciate taking the time to explain to us who are new to the woodworking game. Thank you for the great job you do in all your videos.
The train whistle was one of the funniest things I've heard in a long time. Still chuckling. Thank you for the laugh!
