Amazing how firmly you can hold work with a clever combination of wedge, peg, dog, hook & brake! The lack of wobble is testament to how well you have made this 😎
That bench is magnificent. Even without knowing Thai, I'm mostly following along because I use one myself and you do a great job demonstrating. I also noticed your mallet made from purple heart!
@@agluebottle Thank you for your good words and the visit. I am glad that you spent your time watching despite the language barrier. The mallet is made from the Siamese Redwood. It’s not easy to get the purple heat in Thailand. I suspect that the he Redwood may have the similar densities as the Purple Heart though. This mallet I made when I started to do woodworking about 10 years ago and it is still functioning well with some dent.
Thank you, it's a good way to practice on being cautious aside from physical injury. The wax finished helps to restore the nice surface from scratches. FYI, the wood of this bench is from the teakwood tree I planted over 30 years ago. It died and I air dried it for about 5 years. Have a good day.
Hi, I have no idea what you're saying but it's a lovely bench and seeing the ways you use it is quite helpful (I just built one myself, not nearly as nice looking as yours though!).
Thank you for your visit and sorry that I spoke in Thai. The teakwood that I used to build this bench is the wood from the tree I planted 30 some years ago. It died from some mysterious reason. After the cutting to a lumber, it was air dried for about 3 years before I use it. The whole assembly don't use any metal fasteners.
@@hai99noi Really interesting, thanks for sharing. You have a bench with history. And no worries about the language, speak in what you are comfortable speaking, we get the gist just from seeing your actions :)
Thank you for sharing your version of the Roman workbench. It is beautiful just to look at! I like your ideas and have taken notes for my own (one day I will build my own, hopefully soon!). ประทับใจ ขอบคุณครับ
@@hai99noi No, I am an expat living in Thailand. You spoke Thai the whole video and I wanted to ensure you got the compliment regardless of the language. I just really liked your work and wanted to express my gratitude. Thank you for sharing.
@@buzzyeee-c9c Thank you for the clarification and glad that you don’t live too far. I hope that you are enjoying the living in Thailand. You must be fluent in Thai.
@@hai99noi To make my response I had to use a translation program (I am sad to say). Perhaps one day I will be successful learning Thai. I do love Thailand and the Thai people and missed them when I visited home. Both now have a special place in my heart. I am curious do you have any advice for finding affordable wood? I have found it challenging to find wood suitable for making a bench (western or roman) especially when it comes to quality hardwoods. I do not care if it is fancy or not, most interested in functionality. Also, I wanted to comment on your English. It is very good! Well thank you for your time Sir. Have a great day!
@@buzzyeee-c9c I am glad that you have developed a positive attachment to Thailand and the Thai. I believe that one day you will be fluent in Thai because you have set a resolution to do so. I think the economy way to get wood to build a sturdy workbench is to use a 2x4 hardwood and joint them to make the top. The cheaper way is to use plywood laying on top of each other to the desired thickness. Are you in any of the Thai woodworking group? Occasionally, they have a class to build a workbench and all the materials are provided. At the end of the class, you would take home the workbench you build. Where about are you in Thailand? I live in Chiangmai and if you are by any chance in the area you are welcome to visit my shop and we can exchange knowledge about woodworking.
@@maxwaldburg4286 Thank you for your visit and the good words. Yes, the butterfly joints are for holding the 2 sides of the boards together. The two boards are actually from the same teak tree that I planted 30 some years ago. It died from some mysterious reason. I had the tree cut out to lumber after air dried for a few years. Sadly the center one which was cut to the thickness of 4 inches cracked in the middle. I decided to cut the lumber at the crack and joining them with glue and the butterflies. The separating pieces made it easier to flatten by my jointer and the planer.
The spacers for your notch vise are brilliant! I've been wondering how to manage them for years!
The most ingenious and versatile workbench for working with hand tools. I'd use it every day, for sure.
Thank you for the nice words and visiting my site. I will also enjoy using the workbench.

THANK YOU ! for sharing with clarity the examples of your wood working bench and your process.
Thank you for stopping by and the good words.
Excellent build!!
Glad you think so! Thank you for stopping by.
That bench is beautiful. I would be afraid to use it in case of damage.

Hi love the design. What are the butterfly joints for? Just to hold 2 boards together? Thanks. If someone cud translate that wud be amazing too 😊
