Howdy, I just discovered you and watched a few of your videos. I am a 71 year old wood worker who now has chronic, dust induced asthma for the rest of my life (which will probably be shorter than it might have been). I noticed that you never wear a respirator of any kind. Neither did I for about 30 years. It's not as convenient, but I now wear a full face 3M mask in the shop because I got tired of interrupting conversations with friends due to a coughing fit. I want to have a relationship with my adult children for a long time, and I want to continue to give them beautiful gifts from my shop. So, I wear a mask. It's not so bad now that I'm used to it. Highly recommended! Love your stuff. Nice bench!
As a semi newbie(5yrs) I appreciate old dogs giving solid advice despite any flack u get.
Experience is worth more than gold, and no more than knowledge.
✊🏻
My Dad smoked most of his life and went through three wars. But, he died at 65 of lung cancer, caused by working with exotic hardwoods without a mask. I am now 77, never smoked and have been careful about dust control and masks.
Asthma is soooooo much fun. 😑
Yo BUUUUUUUDY you ever coming back I sure miss your videos. You always do wonderful things and realized I haven’t seen any videos from you lately. Hope all is well with your family and health ! Seriously I think we all miss you!
Thanks! All is well, I'm working on a video now with the goal of posting Saturday morning
nice to see someone using hand tool to build and not all power tools. we as woodworkers depend on technology in todays world. we need to not lose the art of hand crafted woodworking so we can pass it down to the next generation
Have you thought about generators. Possibly a solar system to generate some extra power that might run some air conditioning. Or big ass fans. My shop is devoid of air and I’m looking at cheap options. It has no windows. First I believe attic ventilation which will cool it down tremendously.
I have been vacillating between an Anarchist, Roubo, Nicholson and Moravian style. This design combines a top from the others with the Nicholson and fits my needs as a lefty! Nice job!
That was a lot of fun to watch! And a beautiful Burnstockolson design!
Thanks!
Miss seeing your videos in my feed, hope you and the family are going well and you’re still enjoying this woodworking journey?
Awesome bench. Just bought your plans!
Now, this is what woodworking is all about. great job
This was a fun and challenging build. Now when I actually make it to my shop it's a centerpiece that I'm proud of. Love working on it.
Beautiful piece, impressive workmanship, wonderful video. Your serious side is as inspiring as your humor (in other videos) is entertaining. Love what you are doing in this space.
Great video! Beautiful bench!! Blessings!!!
Many Thanks!
That must've been soooo satisfying! Nice bench!
Sometimes you need a reset and a challenge in any hobby.
Even better if you can make it something that you will actually use and not just something for challenge or learning/trying new technique sake.
Turned out awesome!!!
And super happy you found an outlet and way to keep from having the algorithm burn you out!
Thanks!
I'm in the middle of building a workbench my self really great build gave me some good ideas
I love watching you build anything cause I learn so much everytime
Awesome, glad to hear it!
Wow! What a great looking, huge accomplishment!!! Maybe some day after I move I’ll have room for something that big!! You are so lucky!! Thanks for making these videos. I hope me letting you know that your time is worth my time! Take care. Can’t wait to see you in the next one!
I am very thankful for my new space, thanks for commenting!
Great looking bench! I wish I had room for something that size. Those bracing bits look like they've never been used.... great find. I appreciate the time and effort in the video, as always. Catch ya next time my friend.
Thanks!
now that's one sexy table. I seriously need a place to do work. my 8x12 shed that is being used as storage isn't cutting it. It was great working outdoors all summer, but now winter has come and I'm stuck without a place to do anything until spring.
I've been wanting to build one of these for years and finally have the space. I wish I would've built one sooner.
You will need a forklift to move that workbench. Looks amazing and will definitely outlive this TH-cam algorithm!
😆😆 thanks!
Love your style pal, great vid and lovely bench
Thanks!
Great video!
Thanks!
That's a nice workbench. My shop is ever evolving I have about 50sqft and I'm working on version 3 of my workbench should be about a quarter size of yours when I'm done haha
I like the styling approach that you used in this video. In the video it is clearly evident that you were enjoying the process of the build, rather than planning out the next comedy routine to keep your viewers entertained. Good idea to cut down the larger dimensional boards from the big box store that are supplied in hard southern yellow pine, rather than 2x4s that are a mix of spruce, pine, and fir (Douglas fir is another excellent wood to use, but seems to be less common than southern yellow pine). 15+ years ago I would occasionally make special trips to the big box stores, trying to see if any knot free southern yellow pine boards were close to the top of any of the stacks, and would then buy just those boards - I still have a few of those boards in my lumber rack (and some of those boards still have a lot of internal stress that is released when cutting at the table saw). Those construction grade boards tend to have a high moisture content, and might warp a bit as they dry, so you might have an opportunity to use your large hand plane in the future to re-flatten the top of your bench. Nice job on the bench, and good score on the hand tool collection.
Thanks! Yea, SYP is readily available pretty much anywhere. I was going to do it in maple but the cost of that was very prohibitive.
Looks like wicked looking bench dude. Am starting workbench and lathe bench build tomorrow. Certainly few ideas gonna take from this. Keep videos coming. Hope your good catch up soon 📨🏴👍
Thanks!
Now that's some good ASMR sounds with the planes and saws
'Twas wasn't it?. Thanks!
@@burnstockwoodworking i do agree with you whole heartedly. You get sucked into the whole algorithm of TH-cam and sometimes you feel like you are making content just to appease them. That's one of the big reasons I stopped with my TH-cam. Channel. Sometimes you gotta just say fuck it and do something for you and your own mental health. I have learned loads from your channel and I wish I could repay you for your knowledge. Love you brother God bless you and the family.
#goals 😍😍😍
Do it, do it, do it lol
As someone who runs a full time woodshopnwith employees, I get burn out. Same thing all the timez just for the husiness- I get it. I hope we all get the opportunity to remember often why we do what we do.
,a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you……
Thanks!
@@burnstockwoodworking Thank you very mutch... have a nice Weekend.... see you….
Love the music choice.
Thanks!
Nice
Thanks!
wow I was wondering what happened to you. You haven't been coming up on my page so I looked you up and missed your last 2 videos, I'm glad I checked.
Feel better finding things to inspire you "Easier said than done" but good luck.
Yea, I've heard from a few people that my videos aren't popping up. Thanks for commenting and for watching, I truly appreciate it!
Stunning work, dude! Amazing looking workbench!!! 😃
Really well done!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks!
Hey buddy, I hope all is well. I'm sure I speak for a bunch of us when I say we miss you.
Thanks! All is well, working on a video now with the hopes to post tomorrow
13:38 holding my phone.
Can I put it down yet? I feel like I'm becoming one of those teens with their phone grow into their arm. 😬
😂
😂😂
@@burnstockwoodworking that's not an answer! 🤣
Awsome work. The lack of passion burn out is some of the worst! Glad you got your grove back 😅
Thanks!
After watching the first few minutes, you're right. At some point you have to do something else than milling lumber in your gymnasium ;-)
I haven't gotten used to the space yet at all. If you check out my first few videos I worked out of a shipping container for years.
@@burnstockwoodworking yeah, just jealous :-) . I have a two car garage, work in my driveway because I need to clean up, add cabinets, organize...
Somehow you'll fill up that gymnasium eventually
That bench is insane! So are your "new" tools.
😂 thanks. It's a monster but I'm loving it
Where are you antiquing around here to find that kinda stuff. I am always looking for more hand planes. I have a few Baileys missing from my collection.
Denham Springs, there's a two story antique store in downtown that had a pristine collection. There's a guy that has a booth there, he goes up north, buys hand tools, and refinishes them.
I be missing my Burnstock :( Where are you?!?! :)
Africa
"Ya boy starting scripting"
😂
😆
miss your videos bro. Lets get to work
I know, but I've been traveling for work. Actually in tx right now
I periodically travel for work to and it keeps me from doing what I love so I completely understand. I catch up with my TH-cam subscription videos from my hotel room. Safe travels!@@burnstockwoodworking
I'm in the market for a planer.
Never heard of Cutech before, but their prices seem better than the DeWalts and come with spiral heads.
You have any issues or things you wish were better with yours?
Do not buy a cutech. I'm very disappointed
@@burnstockwoodworkingvery good to know. As that price is super tempting, especially with a helical head
I've got a Wen 12" planer with spiral heads and have been very happy with it. For me, as a novice woodworker, it works great
@@chuckfalgout9596 thanks for the input! Did the Wen come with spiral heads, or was that a separate upgrade?
Not sure about helical heads but my first planer was a wen. I liked it. @justinbanks2380
Where did you go?
My regular job has went back to normal (lots of travel and office hours) and I just haven't had time to work on videos. Planning a few now though and hoping to start back up soon!
I was getting on to ask the same thing. God bless you and your family
Good stuff man. Keep mixing its up. Formula channels get old and so far you are still spry ;)
Awesome, thank you!
"If you are a beginner you would love doing this project..." - As a beginner I can safely say, my project wouldn't look near as good as that.
Nah, you got it
I don’t build any of the things you seem to most often build. The closest our two world’s have come in that regard is in this installment. I’m one of those 95% hand-tool only guys that give themselves a bad rap by acting like there’s some single way ‘to-do’ woodworking 😂. I can’t apologize for them, because I ain’t them. I started because I can do it without being supervised; I sustained a TBI in 2013 which ended my 23+ career as Marine Corps Officer, and seizures, spatial issues, and tremor are still very present parts of my life. A handtool only shop means that my wife can check in on me via the cameras in my shop and I can call for help anytime I need via those or intercom; yet I don’t have to be watched. I woodwork the way I do because I can. I woodwork the way I do because it gives my mind and body a vocational purpose. I do woodwork the way I do because it brings me joy and has probably saved my life. I do woodwork the way I do because I build only for myself and my family; that brings me joy, purpose, satisfaction, and sustains me on the days I need an extra push… So I may not build what you build, but aim glad to see you build a bench 👍.
You do you brother! Whatever your mode and whatever your project, you’re doing it right if you’re doing so as safely as you can and with as pure intent as you can to provide for not just your family, but how in doing so, that it’s what provides for you! Don’t let anyone rain on your why and how.
Well said and thank you for your service!
This is what you get for doing videos on Tube. Just like the electric saga. I run underground power to my shop with help from electricians from my house power box. Didn't tell no one. I'm good to go. Been watching for a few months. 😂
Do you not understand what a traditional English joiner's bench (AKA a Nicholson bench) is? It uses planks for its strength, NOT a massively thick laminated top. I'm sure your bench is great, and suits you well, but for people wanting to build a Nicholson bench your headline is misleading click-bait.
Man, Do you have Instagram? Your work is inspiring me in this moment of my life, thanks!!! Brazil here🙏🏻
