@@HewAndAwe back from a Posh cruise to Tallinn, Estonia, ate at the medieval restaurant Olde Hansa in their antique senate house. Drank old reconstructed dark beer recipe laced with honey! I think that will suffice to call nice, enough to loosen Your poetic fibre.. 😁
Lots of high-precision work in that project, and definitely a unique look. I'm not crazy about the charring, but I appreciate that it's part of the look. Excellent work!
Thank you Alan, especially thank you for wording it just right, so many wanna shoot me down for a look that made sense for the peeps that would purchase said product, neutral in colour too, but they feel they need to voice their disgust in something thats not their flavour, like its an opinion that has gravity and should be taken as so 😂
@@HewAndAwe Don't lose heart mate. Maybe it's the price paid for not doing clickbait titles and stupid thumbnails. You do quality stuff and extremely entertaining at the same time. If you build it, they will come
Hi Ben! Let me start by saying that I'm your newest subscriber... I just subscribed about 30 mins ago. And, there's nothing greater I could say than what everyone else has already said below! You are truly an inspiration and amazingly self-taught, talented person. In fact, I've decided that I am going to setup a woodworking shop somewhere on my property and start my woodworking endeavours even at 56 years old! Cheers (from across the proverbial pond... Canada)!!!
For those who don't know those yellow and black pencils are often used by picture artists to do graphite drawings. The last time I bought about 30 of them it was 90 euros. Or $100. It was maybe 10 years ago so I might be off some, but not much. I about chocked when the man rang up my items! I had no idea, I thought they were just ordinary pencils, and I rather liked the yellow and black coloring. And the different hardnesses have different color caps, where an erasure would normally be. Beside $8 a gallon for gas, Paris had some of the most expensive pencils I've seen, along with everything else! Rent, food, newspapers, internet, cloths, etc. But all of a glorious high quality!
Fantastic build. Loving the contrast in finishes. I’ve been without my small shop for too long. 😢 It’s videos like this that inspire me to clear it out and get going again. Thanks for sharing your talents fella👍
Thank you TMF, appreciate your complement fella! I'm struggling too, what with the covid situation and nothing selling, trying to get motivated is a bitch! Hope you get out there again soon! Kind regards, Ben.
I just found your channel, and I gotta say I really liked everything about this video. I subbed about 1 min in. The sound the look, it all made me feel like I was watching a Tarantino movie. Take that as a compliment, I really love his movies. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Oh-man! Thank you for saying that, been really down lately with how few views I get so I really appreciate you saying that. Funny you mention Tarantino, my dissertation at college I compared Tarantino to Francis Bacon which I received a distinction and a kiss from the teacher (on the cheek). Thank you for the complement, that means a lot, my background was Art department on features and commercials, hoping my love for making and film comes together here.. Hope youre well man!!
I just stumbled across your channel, subbed quickly. I am just starting out in woodworking, hoping one day I can get to your level. Great work look forward to more videos.

Thank you Cassian! Thanks for taking the time to comment bud - much appreciated! Ive used many places for music mate, some of which I dont see any point in subscribing to any more and that vid was some time ago, but genrally I use 70"s porn music, funk music. Im sorry that's not much help 😁
Nice skills and imagination, fella. Sweet looking butchers bench. Everything you ever wanted in one. Just one question: Where's the effing knife rack? I'll give you 9/10 for this project, but stick a knife rack on your next one, and I'll give ya a 10! 👍 ⚒️ 🏴 yep, im from England, and i stand with 🇺🇦 🇮🇱
I did think about that and there was a good reason why I left it off but I can’t remember what that was 🤦🏻♂️ I think it was to do with safety and kids being at teaching distance to them if I added one, but 🤷🏻♂️
Excellent project as usual. I've just subbed, been watching your stuff for a while now after a recommendation I think from another tuber, possibly Matt Estlea. Where do you sell your work, if I may ask?
My apologises for the late reply Ryan, had a death in the family... Heres a link www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184371503387 or you can find me on Facebook 'Hewandawe' Hope youre well, kind regards, Ben.
It’s called ‘fire, then nothing’ reminds me of twin peaks! The artist name Da Sein. Just a heads up there’s an app that I use when I want to know those kinda answers called Shazam, very handy for my editing!
Sorry, one more question do you find the Narex chisels stout and strong. Some complain about the thinnes at the edge of the chisels. I am getting ready to buy some new chisels and the Richter was a set I was very interested in. thanks
Depends on what Im using them for, the narex bench chisels I have they're absolutely useless for mortice work, the edge rolls over with one blow, not made for mortice work - but for fine work like dovetails I reach for the narex over my lie nielsen chisels every time, for fine pairing finish work theyre bloody good. Most bench chisels aren't really made for heavy blows with a mallet, theyre really for fine hand work, finessing.. I cant Comment on the Richter as I dont have them, but the Richter are more expensive so one would assume they are way better. One set of chisels, doesnt answer all your needs though, do bare that in mind. I have four sets, two for fine work with different primary bevels (hard softwood) and beater/carpentry chisels, for hinges etc, they have a high bevel which is useless for getting into the corner of a dove tail cause the high bevel will bruise the tail/pin...
What angle do you sharpen your bevels to for hardwood dovetails? I've got mine at 20 degrees but can't seem to clean out the angles at the base of the pins too well.
Hi Scott, thank you for the complement! Just a light spray of water, as per the instructions. I like PU for the long open times and low temp usage. Peeps will say "its not as strong as PVA!" but its strong enough, and 40-45 mins open time comes in handy!
Narex yes but not the Richter chisel from Narex, When I bought those they were called Narex bench chisels, I think they call them cabinet makers chisels now. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on some of the Richter chisel to try out, apparently out of the box they're close to perfect and a bloody good price! I rate the Narex over my Lie Nielsen chisels!
@@HewAndAwe Thank you so much for your reply. Been a cabinetmaker for 15 years but always enjoy other's view. Please let me know how I can support your channel. Many, many thanks
Ya had me at 'just wingin it, no real plan'. Yup. I do that often/mostly esp. when I'm working with mostly found materials. Just don't fkup the valuable piece.
I am one of those that generally do not like music, of any kind. It's just noise! Can't stand 5 minutes of it--- on a good day! ( and I learned to play piano and violin when young, but now it all is just noise, I prefer total silence! Which is hard to achieve! But I try!) And before I remembered to turn the volume off I found I was really, REALLY enjoying the music from the first part of your instructional woodworking porn video. Porn because it lures you in and you can find yourself immersed in something you wouldn't normally ever do, otherwise, but you somehow really like watching someone else, doing it! All of it! Wishing I could do that stuff, too! But back to what I originally wanted to comment on: the music from the first section I so really, really enjoyed!!! Unfortunately you don't know the who, where, when, what! It might well be another 10 years before I ever hear something I like as well. Or nearly as well. And for me that is just so regretable! I know you aren't a music site, but while teaching other things it is nice to offer other experiences other than what you think you you are providing. Which can excite some in other directions! So a big thank-you for doing that, even if unintentional! (I stopped in Iceland for some unknown reason after living in Paris for a few years. And I bought a great set of wood carving tools. Maybe I should look for them and give them a few wacks. They are from Austria and the salesman said they were pretty top notch! Which they are, the steel is quite heavy and the edges were incredibly sharp, and all with a nice balance in them! So maybe you have peaked my interest (again!) in wood carving, of all things! Many thanks! Appreciate it all! But it is that music that really, really got me!
@@paulortiz2035 I'm glad that music caught you, I had to remove the sound, for me the sound of the tools and the work itself would have been better, but you can't have everything because the result of the work was spectacular.

Enlighten me mate, its been some time since I made that vid so not sure what you mean? Sorry 😁
@@HewAndAwe Just when you put your saw against the combo square to saw straight. I always saw skew-wiff. Now -- thanks to you Sir -- I won't.
How many hours?
I really cant remember, it was defo over 3 weeks. A lot went into that build. Plus hospital time 😂

Thank you 😊 difficult to say what with filming and the accident I had during the build at a guess with out all of the above about two weeks bud 👍
@@HewAndAwe well worth the effort it is stunning. Filming does add a large chunk of time... Hope all recovered from the accident?
Yeah, a nice scare to boot, I still wave chisels around like a magic wand though 😬
