you are one of the few youtubers that have inspired me to set up a woodshop of my own and have given me the inspiration to try and bring back woodshop at my high school, but it is pretty difficult funding everything since I am 14. If you knew any projects thy sell well please let me know:)
+Anthony Strazhnikov I'm a fellow 15 year old and I love wood work, the only problem is for the GCSE course I'm doing you have to use plastic and metal. hey ho, best of luck with your plan! :)
+Maurice Blok hello Maurice this is Anthony Strazhnikov. I am currently sending this from my personal TH-cam channel, and I was wondering if you could go and check out my first few videos that I posted and if you could recommend anything. Thank you.
I have not been watching you for long. After one video I became a subscriber. Your work is second to none. The inlay was awesome. I liked how you drilled some in. Let them dry and then drilled more in overlapping them. It is definitely gonna remind some kid of bubbles. Truly kicks sir. All the videos I have watched you had pretty chill music playing. I was like huh no music? Then for a split second some played n i was like oh there it is. Then as quick as it played it went away lol. Plus all the other videos ya never spoke. Then at the end you did. I said holyshit he talks and no music lol. Your shop is awesome all your tools are layed out so you can jump from tool to tool 1 2 3 instead of all over the place like other shops. You can tell you take great pride in everything ya do. Rightfully so!
I tried the same thing. Not as many plugs as yours. I found out the hard way that the different woods expanded/ contracted at a different rate. Some of the plugs developed gaps.
Lovely as always. That is a very unique router lift....from a company or a homemade solution? Now I am out of your videos to watch...looking forward to your next one!
+Tyler G Haha, homemade solution. I had the jack laying around and then I had a 1+1=2 moment :-) Thanks for watching and commenting Tyler, much appreciated!
your woodworking skills are fantastic and your work shop is a woodworker’s dream. I do have a question, what is the need for precision milling 1:10, if you are going to sculpt a curve 2:35 in the work piece? I hope to see a lot more of your work in the future.
Lenny F The two sides (that hold the rope) are then parallel to the bottom and have an even length. Alternatively it could have done on the bandsaw but when being at the jointer/ planer... why not. Thanks!
Very fine work. At first, envious of your extraordinary collection of power tools, I then saw that they allow you to exercise your creativity very efficiently; for most of us, time is money. How did you get your start? (and thank you so much for showing us your work).
+w kofooed Accumulated the hand held tools over the years. I purchased more when I could/ needed while building our house and workshop. When the workshop had completed I purchased the jointer/planer, tablesaw/smoulder and extractor. (all those stationary machines are second hand, made in 2010 that I bought from a woodworker that upgraded his machines. This was in 2012) When furnishing our house and doing some work for friends and family, people notified/ became interested in my furnitures/ designs. Though I am a self taught woodworker I then started a woodworking business.
+w kofooed It is a saw that was manufactured in Finland by Man-Ko in the city of Lahti. I believe Man-Ko existed up until somewhere in the eighties. My bandsaw was made in 1965 and I purchased it off of a local school as they had to (had to!) upgrade due to some EU regulations that are unclear to me. It has an electronic brake from which I know EU requires it to have so that can't be it... It obviously wasn't there in 1965 but must have been installed during the late 90's or early 2000's. Now that I'm thinking about it, maybe saws nowadays have to have a full closure blade guard?? Anyways I paid 150€ for that saw and am happy as ever with it!
Thank you! I'm happy with the jointer/ planer as it serves me very well. It could be wider for some of the application I'm doing in the shop and while we're at it, it would be very nice having separate machines but as mentioned, no complaints whatsoever. Thanks for watching and commenting! Oh yeah, I'm living in Finland
Hi MW, I have used a Canon G12 with a faulty sensor :-) No special effects were used making this video, even though it may look like it at times. The scene at the tablesaw where the wood tips over while it shows all purple, that is how the camera recorded it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video, it was very enjoyable to watch. I'd love to see a feature on your router table, what a great idea to use a scissor jack as part of the lift.
Nice one Maurice love this beautiful project of yours. Hope you are planning to make a lot more videos. You also have a lot of space in that workshop...O yeah and my personal favorite...Felder :)
Hi, i have a doubt. In 3:05 what kind drill you use to make a cylindrical cutting on wood. Because on Brazil, the kind of we have here, has an central drill, those make a hole on wood. Thank you so much, you are awesome.
+Francisco Enrique Andrade that is a tenon cutter. In the following link you will find a pictured set from which I hope will clarify. Thanks for watching and posting! img1.iwascoding.com/4/paid/2015/03/07/A3/7E280AF55FD74694A0D9B14AD1F2EDF3.jpg
Great video, Maurice! Best looking tree swing I've ever seen! I like well-thought out design when it comes to anything people use all the time. Most swings are straight... don't fit the bottom correctly. So this one is very nice. I like things that take into account how the human body conforms to them, like the Eames Lounge Chair and the Saarinen tulip Chairs. The shape of the swing puts me in mine of the latter. I was wondering if you could give me the general rough cut dimensions of the block of wood you eventually used. It looks to be almost three inches thick by maybe 20" wide? I want to make one something like it without the inlays (though that would be nice, as well). I only have hand power tools to work with but arranged properly, with clamps and all, that may be enough. White oak? And in general, when you're building stuff like this with inlays, how deep did you drill the holes? Maybe 1/2"? How thick did the remaining wood turn out to be - 5/4" maybe? I want to build one for a friend for her birthday. She's petite, but I still like to build it strong. Anyway, any help/further information you could render would be greatly appreciated. I stand envious of your shop and your skills! All the best, Bud!
+Maurice Blok I'd really appreciate it. It's a great looking swing. I might like to make one like it for a friend who wants one. I'm thinking you used 3 or 4 inch thick stock here as it looks like the swing is almost 2" thick. Its certainly more than 1"... Please send me some dimensions when you get time. Appreciate it! All the best!
Are you going to make any more videos soon? You've got an awesome collection of tools and produce some really great work. Would love to see projects involving different types of joinery.
Nice one! So looking at your videos, your shop is obviously in Finland with all those Felder machines with the OLSA stickers and that "hätäseis" button, Am i wrong? :)
Wow! And the Felder tablesaw... Jealous! Please make MANY MORE videos! ☺Which country do you come from? I see you have a European jointer protection... Greetings from Norway☺
i like the high level of workmanship devoted to such a small project.
I come back and watch this video periodically because the visuals are so nice. If my living room was as cool as this shop I would never leave it.
You sir have the dream woodshop of any woodworker.

The plug inlays create a great design! Someone is really going to enjoy using that swing.
Thanks for sharing Father Thomas!
I love the car jack to adjust the rotar hight, did anyone else see that.
That was cool!
Thanks for sharing Andrea
that is such a nice result. very creative use of dowels. and what a fantastic shop. thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching Willem!
I never would've thought of the inlays but they're absolutely fantastic! Beautiful work. I can only dream of accomplishing what you do.
I love your workshop brother
+theMediaMart Thanks!
Loved the inlay. Such a simple technique but a stunning result.
your workshop is my dream. love your way of working, your amazing attention to details. learned a lot from you, please make more videos!!! thank you!
Nice work... and the video is excellent....wonderful workshop..+++
Beautiful piece, loved the inlayed design! That's a cool bandsaw you've got there!
Awesome! and... jealous at such a great workshop! Fantastisch project en mooi gemaakte video!
Drilling and plugging into the adjacent dowel plugs was genius. I am going to steal that for a future project.
What a beautiful end result! Very well done.
Gail Long Thanks Gail, your feedback is much appreciated!
These videos are awesome!
I have not been watching you for long. After one video I became a subscriber. Your work is second to none. The inlay was awesome. I liked how you drilled some in. Let them dry and then drilled more in overlapping them. It is definitely gonna remind some kid of bubbles. Truly kicks sir.

+joe brown Thanks Joe!
LOL. *LOVE* the Bill Hicks CD on the rack next to the saw! :)
mictho100 Haha, you're the second person to comment on this. Yeah.. I'll admit it.. I'm a Mr Hicks connoisseur.
Very nice video!!!
you are a master of your craft, very beautiful work
Very cool project. Makes me feel bad for letting my kids swing on a plain old plastic store bought swing.
And beautiful shop.
Haha, but hey, a swing is a swing
Django would call this a major swing. You challenged the tree and gave it back something. Assuming it's ending up on a tree again.
I tried the same thing. Not as many plugs as yours. I found out the hard way that the different woods expanded/ contracted at a different rate. Some of the plugs developed gaps.
Nice work Maurice. I love those inlays, what a great project!
Thanks Zac, and/ but no resins involved ;-)
That is gorgeous!
+Andrea Bashore Thanks Andrea!
Nice job Maurice, love your workshop and how the swing turned out.
Thank you John, nice to have you here
Awesome project and video! Great shop you've got there.
Thank you for the kind words Chris
Very nice :)
I think this camera does not really give enough justice to this amazing work :)
That shop is a garden of eden
Nico Smets Thanks!
Very nice design!
Very unique. Great Video, looking forward to see more. All the best Mike
what a shop!
Cool machines, fantastic workmanship.... .. oh.. great video too.. top job. love your workshop..
Nice work. You have an amazing workshop bro...
very well done, and what an orderly and well equiped shop you have. Is working with wood your profession?
Thanks Martin! I make bespoke furniture for about one year now.
Really beautiful swing! Excellent woodworking!
Beautiful shop... very nice swing.
+GordWing Thanks!
You're welcome...
Lovely as always. That is a very unique router lift....from a company or a homemade solution? Now I am out of your videos to watch...looking forward to your next one!
+Tyler G Haha, homemade solution. I had the jack laying around and then I had a 1+1=2 moment :-) Thanks for watching and commenting Tyler, much appreciated!
Take a look at more wood-Dispenser Jack Daniels "DiResta STYLE.
Very nice work, hope you do more videos in the future.
Nice work! Why didn't you steam bend the wood instead of using the belt saw? This allows for the grain of the wood to run through the swing
I love it!! It's beautiful and looks so comfortable! Thanks for sharing how you made it! Awesome workshop and you do such a nice job!!!
very cool design...with the summer months coming i wanna attempt to make one for my daughter ..thanks for the inspiration
Whoa, awesome jointer/planer!
That is one cool swing. I made some cutting boards with the same design last year. They were by far my best seller at a craft fair i had a stall on.
i love your all machine very beautiful is easy to make a design so very niceeeeeeeeeee hope , it maybe it so expensive

Ik vind die krik onder de boven frees echt super slim bedacht
you really make amazing things! i like your projects very much
Need more videos!!
Your work, and your shop is amazing!!
Beautiful!! I love it!!
Met mooie apparatuur een heel mooie schommel gemaakt!! Goed ge-edit en je hebt in ieder geval mijn abonnering verdiend. Ga zo door Maurice!
Dank voor het abonneren G.WorkSpecials!
Very fine work.

+w kofooed Also, never have seen the band saw before, it says "Man Ko"?. What company is this?
Thanks again.
+w kofooed Accumulated the hand held tools over the years. I purchased more when I could/ needed while building our house and workshop.

Fantastic first video. Subbed and looking forward to the next one.
Thanks!
Very good work!. You could show the operation of the suction system of the workshop?
Silvio Kucharski I could do that, but it will have to wait a couple of weeks. Thank you for your request and comment!
Great project, and that shop is incredible!
Thanks!
BRAVO, I LIKE YOUR WORK VERY MUCH
+Christine Johanna ten Napel Thanks!
You are very talented, love your videos
Very well done!!!
Many thanks Fabian!
Beautiful job Maurice Blok! That should be a family treasure for years to come.
Really nice!
Really love that swing and like all of your other videos. You should make some more! 👍
O kadar alet edevat ve mekan bende olsa kralını yaparım ağzın açık kalır!
Fantastic design. I like your shop setup. How do you like your Felder planer/jointer? Also, where in the world are you.
Thank you! I'm happy with the jointer/ planer as it serves me very well. It could be wider for some of the application I'm doing in the shop and while we're at it, it would be very nice having separate machines but as mentioned, no complaints whatsoever. Thanks for watching and commenting! Oh yeah, I'm living in Finland
Great Video. I like the idea with the inlays. You have a nice shop and some nice tools. What camera are you using? Daniel

LOVE this!!!! Great work!~
I'm happy that I'm in the middle of moving my shot into my new houses basement. But this show still makes me all kinds of jealous.
Thanks for the video, it was very enjoyable to watch. I'd love to see a feature on your router table, what a great idea to use a scissor jack as part of the lift.
Geweldige video en schommel....
Great video and swing
Nice one Maurice love this beautiful project of yours. Hope you are planning to make a lot more videos. You also have a lot of space in that workshop...O yeah and my personal favorite...Felder :)
This guy's shop is bigger than my house.
your so talented
Video has no music but because u fast forward the sounds from the machine wood work is so awesome
love your shop, that dust collector system, i wish u have more videos and subscriber.
Hi, i have a doubt. In 3:05 what kind drill you use to make a cylindrical cutting on wood. Because on Brazil, the kind of we have here, has an central drill, those make a hole on wood.
Thank you so much, you are awesome.
+Francisco Enrique Andrade that is a tenon cutter. In the following link you will find a pictured set from which I hope will clarify. Thanks for watching and posting!

+Maurice Blok ...muito obrigado e novamente Parabéns! pelo seu trabalho.
Nice! AND, a great looking shop!
Noticed the Bill Hicks album. Nice.
Joe S Ha! You're the first one :-)
Love this! How did the inlay do out in wet weather?
Great work love to see that you have next for us
Appreciate you commenting! Spoiler allert..working on a wall hanging coat rack.
Thanks for watching!
This was such a satisfying video!
+Donna Park Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome work!your shop is cool!
Great video. What is the name of the drill you used to cut these inlays? On the video it's on 3:05
+Nadav Gutman they are referred to as plug cutters or tenon cutters. I use a affordable set of five. Definitely not the best but they get the job done
nice job
like your dust collection and your router table
keep forward
first time seeing a jack as a router lift, good shit bruh
Hoe heten die "plugcutters eigenlijk in het nederlands?

Where did you buy your plug cutter set and how much did they cost?
Balenza345 It is a inexpensive 5 piece tenon cutter set from Dictum, Germany.
nice!! :) How many camera you use ?
You inlaid so much cork on this swing is to decorate it? If so, I think it is not necessary.
+李立 No, isn't necessary
Are you going to make any more videos soon? You've got an awesome collection of tools and produce some really great work. Would love to see projects involving different types of joinery.
Wait.. what? Where do you work? At 4:57 there's an emergency button saying Hätäseis / stopp button. Finland or Sweden maybe?
..and the answer was in your info :)
Lauri Nordling Lol, Tampere it is.
Thanks for doing this ♥
I like the way you work!! very neat^^ Plz make more video.
+ivy lee Thanks!
Nice one! So looking at your videos, your shop is obviously in Finland with all those Felder machines with the OLSA stickers and that "hätäseis" button, Am i wrong? :)
