What do you prefer, voiceover or subtitles?
@@marmotaworks together voice+subtitles
Voice
@@zaferarincsahin5214 Fortunately, TH-cam automatically generates subtitles if I add voiceover.
@@f.b.jeffers0n ok!
Озвучку, я хоть и ни слова не понимаю, но с голосом лучше всего! Успехов тебе, друг мой, ты-талант! Очень надеюсь, что в твоей стране ручной труд ценится, жду новых видео.)
You are an excellent communicator and are very clear on everything without a lot of extra fluff, I vote voiceover
Many thanks
Less than $40/hour is not enough. I understand there is a market ceiling cost, but if this your only source of income, charge enough.
Really liked the final product.
Honestly, when I took on the project, I estimated it would take fewer hours to build. It's a common mistake in woodworking...
$10,000 would have been a more realistic and fair price.
The 100 hrs he mentioned couldn't have included all he invested in term of design and build time and materials, wear and tear, travel time etc tc.
$40 an hour for 100 hours of unskilled work is extortionate. This kind of artless epoxy stuff has been done to death. It's a roughly constructed and rough looking upside down chopping board with legs. He did well to sell it for $4K.
@user-qk7id7ev9u You're missing the point. ANY endeavour done as a living needs to pay enough to live!
Would you work for $40/hr? Way less after material, energy and workshop overheads are deducted.
@@peterlewis7397
You're missing the reality - no one pays anyone more than they have to. It's why nearly everything is made in China, Mexico, etc, and why the federal minimum wage in the US is $7.50.
Don't worry about the router issues, it happens to all of us. The main thing is that you're not injured.
Yeah, I know..
Thanks!
That bench is absolutely gorgeous brother! I prefer the voice over.
Thank you so much
Definitely voice over workout music, that's always my preference for woodworking videos
Ok!
When watching words, you miss watching what your doing. Voiceover vote from me.
Noted!
Thanks for leaving in the accident with the router! I just started woodworking and I had no idea you had to be this careful with it.
Yes, I don't know why, but a lot of people think that the router is not a dangerous tool.
I really appreciate your voiceovers, it’s a lot easier to listen than read, I’m always afraid I’ll miss something while I’m reading. Love your work!
I’m the designer, while my husband does most of the work. I love receiving inspiration from your work!
I'm glad I can inspire you!
This is our first time watching your channel. We love the bench. We would absolutely like to hear you continue with the voiceovers. We watch several channels that are silent or seeking the ASMR vibe. That’s okay, but it’s being done too much, I think. We definitely prefer voiceover or real-time narration or a mix of both. Your narration was awesome.
Many thanks. I'm glad you like it!
I enjoy the voice over . You are an amazing woodworker I am a cabinetmaker for over 30 years I really appreciate your craftsmanship. I’m glad you weren’t hurt I hope your router is ok
Nice comment coming from someone with so much experience. Thank you!
Love your Work. You are my inspiration. I'm a Woodworker/Hobbyist myself. Been here since your first Project on this Channel. You've had a great development since then. I wish you the best for the future.
@@brunobohne Thank you very much! It makes me very happy to hear from people who have been following me from the beginning.
This is one of the best videos I’ve watched with the voiceover, amazing project and very clear . Thanks for the inspiration
Thanks for your nice words!
@@marmotaworks well deserved 🙏🏼
I love your working style and clear instructions.
I'm glad you like it
Unlike some other creators, I find your voice pleasant and not distracting at all. Good job.
Many thanks
When you explain the ways you achieve the effects, and what kind of wood you use. It's not out of place to use words. But it's also very relaxing to watch you in action, while some beautiful music is playing in the background... words or not, it doesn't matter... and depending on the situation and the work you're doing... just keep going
Thanks for your support. I'll keep doing!
Your work is technically excellent, and I see it as supremely creative. Of course it's worth $4k. Don't question that, because your result is beyond beautiful. All good wishes.
I'm glad you like it
few comments: I think 4k is less to charge for it but people who dont know what goes into making this will think its very high so i usually reserve such pieces for me. Also it would be good to invest in a trim router for trim operations. I cant even imagine using full size router for that purpose. I agree that router is the scariest power tool I have used.
Yes, you are right. I'm used to using the same router for everything, and I need to be more careful...
The way you narrated THIS video was perfect! Keep narrating them just like this one! Keep up the great work! 🙂
👍
My first time seeing your video. Great job and I like the voice over.
I'm glad you like it
Your voice is very pleasant and it is appreciated listening to you. Since I don't speak much English, I add the subtitles in Spanish so I can understand what you are saying. Definitely, voice. Thank you very much to share your work!
Gracias! Podría hacer los vídeos en español que es mi idioma materno, pero no tendrían tantas vistas...
Best bench what I have seen.
I'm glad you like it
Subscribed! Thanks for leaving the router part, such a teacheable moment for everyone
Thanks for the sub!
Beautiful!
Thanks!
Your rigid planning, photography and step by step tips is awesome.
4k is not enough to charge for this gorgeous bench. Not sure how much you should charge though as I don’t know when potential customers start backing away because of the cost. But you make one of a kind art pieces and they cost more. Absolutely beautiful!
@@nanschafer9999 It's not easy to calculate the selling price of a piece like this, as I can't be sure how long it will take me to make it. Now that I've done it, I know I should have charged a bit more.
@@marmotaworks I think it always comes down to what's your goal. Wanna just making stuff for a living then probably this kind of projects are the worst for it. Fast and dirty projects like kitchen boards or shelves are more profitable in terms of time/money. But I think you enjoy your work and want to bring us more and more unique projects, which is a completely different way, and I hope you will stick to this way and it will pay for itself, so you will charge 10-100 times more and sell from the point of real peace of art of a known woodworker
That's a nice, thoughtful aproach to the finish. Well done!
😄
love the narration!
I take note
But what a beautiful and intense project, truly congratulations for the time you dedicate!
Many thanks!
You should be charging more. Unless the client is your mother in law...
😅
Stumbled onto this video. Beautiful bench! Excellent work!
I appreciate it
this method has been used in masonry for hundreds if not thousands of years. But it's really awesome to see being done with wood! I don't mind the narration but it's whatever is easiest for you, regardless your channel rocks! Thanks for your channel!
Thanks for watching!
Love the voice over!!
👍
Man , you are worried about the wrong thing . I wouldn't worry about voice overs or none of that . Leave it all in your videos . I would leave all my mistakes , Blood sweat and my tears . Your work is beautiful . Leave everything , people need to see that your not trying to be perfect . Your human everybody makes mistakes so in my opinion showing everything you went through and still turning out a beautiful product as you did it's amazing man . Truly a beautiful pc of art ... Love it
Thanks for your tips. I try to do that
Definitely voice over learn more with you talking
👍
First time viewer, I love the project here! And I prefer the voiceover. I like to do other things while watching these kinds of videos so subtitles can make that virtually impossible. Thank you for sharing your beautiful artwork with us.
I'm glad you like it
What a find!! An Acacia log(several)? That is gold. You used your find well. Thanks.
Voice over, excellent piece, worth it
Thanks!
It's a work of art mate. So well done and looks awesome. I prefer the voice over. Glad you included the router mishap as an educational inclusion. We all stuff up our woodworking. I have had pieces of timber flying off my lathe in the beginning. If one doesn't learn from these things you are not doing it right. Please keep the vids coming. Again, so well done. Dave, Beachmere, Brisbane, Australia
Many thanks Dave! Don't worry, the videos will keep coming
Iv'e seen floor bords done like this but never a bench, nice work.
Nice floor sure
Much prefer subtitles. Love to watch the build with music. Amazing work.
👍
First time on your channel and I must say you work is wonderful. I'd definitively vote for voiceover, I love to hear the thought process.behind a project. Ans thanks for the router part, its comforting we are not the only one to screw up from time to time...
Thank you! All woodworkers mess up at some point. The goal is to try to mess up as few times as possible and be lucky enough not to get hurt.
Thanks for the demonstration of your work and all the great ideas it provided. I think I will take a welding class. It seems like a very valuable skill in addition to woodcraft.
Yes, it is
Wow!! What a beautiful, artistic table. Man, you're good.
As an Ironworker with almost 40 years in union trades, I must say your steel frame is excellent.
Thank you very much. If you looked at it more closely, you would probably find mistakes.
@marmotaworks I'm sure. But even if it were perfect, you're have to purposely mar it because only GOD can be perfect. Your table is beautiful. Many woodworker craft a beautiful table top and ignore the legs. You didn't; yours are beautiful too.
What an absolutely cracking piece of work Sir!!
Many thanks!
This is the first video of yours I have seen, great ideas. I like the voice over, I have a hard time reading captions as my eyes are not as good as they used to be.
I'm glad you like it
great project. I like the voice over too, gives a more personal experience.
Thank you!
What a great video, and a very beautiful bench, this was the first video I have seen of yours, I look forward to watching more as a new subscriber. Your voice over works well. Now, the router bit, well done for showing it, good warning to see it, I could feel the anger and annoyance in the moment. I felt your pain. Thanks again .
Thanks for the sub and for your nice words!
another amazing project, well done! Looks fantastic!
Thanks a lot!
Awesome project! I route a lot of end grain and had the same issue with the router, best choice i've made is switiching to a spiral compression bit, the problem with the straight bits is that they grab way too much wood in one shot.
Yes, you are right. I already bought an spiral bit
I like your voice over!! If you don't like flattening, you could maybe go to an industrial shop where you can use their flattening tools.
Unfortunately, I haven't found any in this area.
First time viewer here, this narration is really good, but I wouldn't mind subtitles.
It turned out an amazing bench!
I'm glad you like it!
Beautiful work. I've been suspending burl "islands" in resin for years for clients with only the resin holding everything together and with no flood coats on the top or the bottom, just seamless transitions between timber and resin like you do. I've had absolutely no issues at all with things coming apart. The largest table I've done so far was an $18,000 piece that was 3m x 1.3m with three independent steel legs that went all the way across the width of the table at both ends and the middle so the client could get 10 chairs around it. Your bench uses way less resin and is more than twice as thick so there's absolutely no reason why all of your work wouldn't stand up to the test of time as long as everything is appropriately dry when you make it.
Wow, that's a big table!
I also think there's no danger of it breaking; the wood was completely dry.
my personal opinion: i prefer videos with voiceover (and the sounds of the tools too) because I'm not really a woodkworker but I love watching videos like this and I love to learn. When you talk and kinda little explain your steps helps me to learn and understand and give me the chance to let your videos run on a 2nd monitor, so I can enjoy the video, listen, and meanwhile can work or play on my 1st monitor without being stucked in the video to read everything so I don't miss maybe something important. and i think i have a better connection to you hearing your voice explaining your work and your thoughts.
Thanks, that's a good point
I vote that you do a variety of videos. Some with subtitles/music. Some with voice overs. Some with a mix.
Keep up the great work.
@@jerry.goodman that's not a bad idea
Stunning bench. As for the price, it is a one of a kind artwork as well as a functional piece of furniture. People who pay that kind of money are doing so because of the art, the time and the craftsmanship that goes into a piece like this. Artists always undervalue their work because they are afraid no one wants to pay the price. But, the right person will pay the price as an appreciation of all the hours you spent honing your craft as well as the time you spent creating this piece.
Thank you! The problem is that many people aren't aware of the work that goes into these types of handmade pieces, and they're not easy to sell.
Thanks! You're a very real inspiration
I'm glad you like it
First time viewer here, and the voice-over is part of why I'll be back for more.
Wouldn't these be stronger if there were dominoes or similar holding each adjacent pair of wood slices?
Sure, but with the steel frame it's not necessary
I'm new to your channel. I really like having voiceovers. If your channel came up in the past on my feed I did not watch it because I don't like channels without words. You did a great job on the voiceovers on this video.
I believe that voiceovers are here to stay.
Xcellant video and lessons learned because why not learn and be proud of your work.
Many thanks!
This piece is gorgeous! nice work!
Many thanks
Grinder and spray paint... looks like a qualified metal worker to me!
I love the voice over you did here because you have a nice calm voice and don't over explain things.
I'm not always looking at the screen so it's perfect for me.
Ok!
I think it’s Ai not his actual voice
It definitely is@@CuredWoodworking
Voiceovers keep interest engaged because time lapse combo to video keeps efficient progress. I think anyway. Keeps things moving
👍
Voice over Sir and the work is great!
Many thanks
Love the voiceovers! I got bad dyslexia so reading is really tiresome, this is a lot more relaxing 😅
👍
That little trick at [6:10] is going to save me so much time!
Yes, for this type of project, it works great.
I enjoy when creators talk. It helps me learn and is more entertaining. Just my opinion 👍🏻
👍
Beautiful bench and great video!
Thanks a lot!
A grinder and paint, make me the welder I ain't! -Anon
I'm no qualified/certified welder either, but your welding looks fine for what you're using it for. Nicely done.
Thanks! Paint and the grinder don't make me a welder, but they help beginners like me... 😅
Beautiful work. Always a voiceover. Subtitles get in the way of the video at times. I can always mute the voiceover but I can't get rid of the subtitles.
You are right
The bench is definitely too expensive for me, but you should really charge more! The amount of work and time is insane and the outcome is fabulous!
I like when creators share what they charge people. Puts the amount of work into perspective
Yeah, it's not easy for people to realize the amount of work that goes into these kinds of projects.
What an exquisite piece dude. And with regards the narration, keep it up. You're interesting and you don't have one of those monotone voices that makes you want to change the channel! Good work👍
Many thanks. I'm glad you like it!
I prefer the voiceover. Also don't beat yourself up. When you work with tools things are going to happen. And good job on the metal frame. I work in manufacturing as a quality manager in a steel manufacturing company and I think you did pretty good.
Wow! I don't think there's anyone better to give me a good opinion about my frame. Thank you!
First time viewer. I like the voiceover, I enjoy the explanations and the thinking that goes behind making those
I'm glad you like it
your voice is comforting
Thanks!
Hi! I am very impressed with your bench project. The idea of recycling old trees is amazing! Your woodworking skills are amazing. I especially like how you use different types of wood to create unique patterns. Can you share more about the type of wood you used for the bench top? I am looking for a durable and beautiful wood to do a similar project. Thanks for this helpful video!
It's Acacia wood. Black locust it's also a very good option
Excellent, I loved the final result!
I'm glad you like it
Great finish to a beutiful bench the time spent and giving the custormer what he wanted was well worth the monies in the final costing.keep up your hard work and the spoken videos coming
Thanks! I'll do it
It’s really nice to hear you.
Greetings from Perú.
Gracias! Saludos desde Berlín
Great piece! I like the VoiceOver
Thank you!
Wealth of information. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Amazing work
Thanks!
It's a piece of art.
Many thanks!
Voiceover for sure, I enjoy your previous videos as well but reading all the subtitles feels like work haha
👍
As a videographer, I always prefer voice over to live captions. You have a good confident voice and you keep your audience engaged. I would use voice over from now on.
I think I'll do it
Lovely work and great result. Voiceover is good.
I'm glad you like it
Good for cafe and teafe ( tea☕) , it's really fabulous 👏👏🙏.
Thanks!
Custom furniture is expensive and that bench is definitely furniture grade, nice work.
Thank you!
This wil look amazing as floating shelf. Maybe your next project.
Maybe...
The voiceover was great. It also allows you to add commentary like discussing the finishing products. You likely wouldn't include all of that if you were only doing captions.
Thanks! You are right
this is the first video of your's I have watched, but IMO, voiceover is better because I suspect there is a little more detail. Which I would prefer.
Ok!
Really enjoyed your video. It’s probably not the sort of task I would do but it has lit a light in my brain and will probably stay there. I am so glad you included the incident with the router because these things can creep on us no matter how experienced we are. I am eighty years of age.
Yes, an accident like this can happen to a novice or to a professional woodworker with 30 years of experience.
Hello.. I really like the voice over better then the subtitles. By the way i really enjoy your videos. True craftsmanship. Marc from Belgium
Many thanks! Greetings from Berlin
I definitely prefer voice over. Great job on the bench!
@@pattywells3375 Many thanks!
However you choose to give me free knowledge I'm going to take it and appreciate it. Thanks bud
Many thanks
Any time
4000 is a extreme bargain. You worked your ass off from start to finish.
Next time, I will charge more. Sure
I really appreciate and enjoy the voiceover
👍
I always warned every newbie I trained that the router was the most dangerous tool in the shop.
I told them imagine holding a 1/4 horsepower motor in your hands that has a dagger sticking out of it rotating at 12,000 RPM.
Yeah. I always take all that into account. I've worked hundreds of hours with the router, and even so, I've had this accident. It's a very dangerous tool.
I like the voice overs and feel it tells us more about the project.
👍
