I bought the plans and just built this out of hickory because my local hardwood store had a sale on 1" hickory. Looks beautiful and ROCK solid. And, you can smoke some meat with the excavated chips from the feet and dovetails. For cutting the tenons, I found that using a Ryoba saw to cut the shoulder flush to the stretcher works well. Then, I could use 2 squares on the shoulders, with my bench clamped in the vice, to put a straight edge on to mark the baseline; however, you can just flush the straight edge with your fingers. This ensured the top fully seats onto the legs and stretchers, particularly if the foot and legs are not perfectly square.
Your timing of this video is perfect because I am in fact building a saw bench today. Beautiful and useful project! Looking forward to the new bench video!
Like a Boss... Love the Saw Bench James. Man that white oak just keeps on going, although I've never seen or worked with it, I think it's under appreciated.
Hi James, I really like the saw bench, just a thought but you could possibly do an additional video discussing all the features in the bench such as why it's open in the middle and why it's pointed out at one end and in on the other. I'm excited to see you build the full size bench!
I built a sawbench a while back without any clear idea of what it should look like. I wish mine looked as nice as what you did, but at least it works...
I still remember the first time I saw one of those saw benches. It was at least 20 years ago when I watched Roy underhill build one one the wood Wright's shop.
After watching just few of your videos, I'm subscribing. Excellent tutorials. I already have a pair of nesting saw benches of a different design, very useful. This one will be my third.
yes. I almost never work from a plan and only use them as guidelines, Christopher Schwarz has put together and excellent description and plans are available (I think free) Through Lost Art Press. One of my best shop additions.@@michaelkulman7095
Looks great James! My parents told me that the drops and bruises built character in me too....haha. I love the design and the addition of all the joinery practice, what a great idea. Have a great day!
On the subject of alliterative puns : Said a flea to a fly in a flue We're stuck, oh what shall we do? Said the fly "let us flee" Said the flea "let us fly" So they flew through the flaw in the flue.
Thinking about one of those triton power planes for myself. Like you I need to move along and scrubbing down wood does put a hamper on time. It would be naive to think the old masters wouldn't have a tool like that instead of a scrub plane.
Awesome bench James! I would recommend being careful in that position (one knee on the bench), I was in that kind of position, twisted a little, and dislocated my knee cap...wasn't fun.
Awesome Wooden shoes! I bet those are tougher than steel-toe boots! Did you make those, and would you have a video on how you did it? I'd like to do a pair out of hand tools one day
Beautiful bench! I wish I had as much white oak lying around as you do (or did in 2017)! Question: What is the advantage of the 45-degree ends on the top? I'm looking at lots of different designs to build my own sort-of Frankenbench version, and I've seen some tops with 90-degree ends and some like yours with the 45-degree ends. It seems like the 45s would be more versatile in terms of supporting wood farther out at different angles, etc., but I'm not sure. If I weren't trying to take up as little room as possible in my tiny shop, I'd just go with the extra length of the 45s, but I have a tiny shop! So are the 45s worth it? What extra utility do they provide? Oooh--I could always 45 one end and square the other! But I'm still interested in your answer. Thanks!
Thanks. The 45 that comes to a point makes it easy to grab and clamp the board sticking past the end of the bench. The other end is useful for smaller detail work where you need more support. In the end they're not necessary however they are nice. If you don't have the space for it then I wouldn't worry about it too much though.
thanks. I do not like the smoother look you get from using a conditioner. I like to see the variations in tones from the white oak. the only time I use a conditioner or pre-coat is when working with Pine, Maple, birch or other light smooth wood.
Being new to woodworking, I would love to know which saw you are using when you do certain cuts. You mentioned the frame saw and the 'bow' saw. The smaller saws are what confuse me. Rip saw or cross cut saw. If you mention them in future videos, great. If not, it will not take away from the joy I get from your videos. (I just picked up 4 hand saws for $10 at a yard sale. JOY!)
here you go. Different types of saws - th-cam.com/video/1cK-xN2uAUI/w-d-xo.html What is the difference between rip and crosscut - th-cam.com/video/6RuhVhKlDcQ/w-d-xo.html Saw videos in general - th-cam.com/video/6RuhVhKlDcQ/w-d-xo.html&list=PLAbayqjimalHKkPKMy5KBDWpQakOxozMD Let me know what questions you have I would love to help out any way I can.
yup, I have used it quite a bit. I use to be an instructor for Auto Desk. I use SketchUp for plans as that is still far more common for the average woodworker, and I like to offer the cad file as well as the plans so people can make the changes they might want. but that may change in the future.
Black Burn Tools makes blades and if you give him the size of your frame he can make them for you. otherwise, you can make one out od an old hand saw or plate of spring steel.
GREAT Job on the bench and the video!!! Thanks For Sharing!!! I do have a question, so when you ripped the board at the end I would have expected you to rip it in the center and not the side? Am I incorrect in assuming that would be an advantage to having a split bench? I've been planning on making a pair of benches and having one split for that reason.
thanks Stephen. it is more comfortable to rip on the far side of the bench. at least for me. the benefit of the siping slot os for smaller pieces where it is useful to support both sides.
Thank you for replying. I appreciate it. I do think I will deviate and make my bench with three 2x4's or two 2x4's (on the left) and a 2x6 on the right. Although that may create some issues with balance while carrying it.
Nice video. Interesting take on the saw bench. BTW quit hoarding all the pillar/beam drills in your shop. I can't seem to find any here and now I know why! Keep up with the good videos.
LOL I just found a couple this weekend at an estate sale he was selling for $20 each. there were two more there. instagram.com/p/BU17kvCgOuk/?taken-by=woodbywright
I found one once down here locally in an antique store. The owner was quite proud of what he had and his pricing matched his pride. It was pretty beat up and I had no way to test it prior to purchasing so I left it sitting where it was, which was literally on the floor. I thought I lucked out on a bench top Millers Falls drill press this week, but after playing with it some it wasn't worth the price asked. The chuck didn't auto-advance and it had the wrong table. I think I am going to need to make a trip to the mountains of VA and PA to find what I am looking for. Here in South GA/North FL I can't find anything reasonably priced to add to my shop. I took a peak at the link you supplied after I finished my post. Thanks for rubbing salt into the wound! Nice haul by the way.
Your thoughts please I have very bad knees if I were to build one higher and make the top thicker would it work to use hold downs and also use it for a bench for spokeshave ect.
Sure. I don't think I would make it any taller though. Just make a thicker top with something to clamp to. That way you can just lean forward and rest your hand on it without kneeling on it. But you can make it whatever way works for you. We are all different.
Is it common to clamp pieces onto the saw bench? If I were to make your bench I would consider make some recesses in the upper stretchers for clamps to go into or moving the stretchers under the top boards. Or I'll have to make some bigger clamps than I currently have.
it can be but for most small pieces I prefer to use the vice in the bench. the sizes of things I like to cut on the saw bench are large enough I can neal o them and clamping just takes too much time and provides too little benefit for me. but a lot of people do. usually, they leave the top boards wider and have them hang over a bit so they can clamp on to them.
thanks. that is one I still need to add to the site since I switched it over. here is the Mortising gauge - www.highlandwoodworking.com/veritasdualmarkinggauge.aspx?A=1367&B=28
Are you asking about the card scraper or the cabinet scraper? for the card scraper, i make my own. here is a video on that. th-cam.com/video/mfgCQ4lyBrQ/w-d-xo.html
I thought you used the middle of the saw bench so that the wood was supported on both sides?. It looks very nice but if I used oak I would not like to use it in case I cut into it, Can you use soft wood that is cheaper.
correct I use the middle for ripping as long as it is wide enough to contact both sides. but for thin strips, I like the outside edge. and I cut into it every use. that is just part of it. it is a tool meant to be used. and 5-10 years from now I might make another one.
What's the purpose in cutting 45 degree angles on ends of the top? I can understand the one notched inwards I guess, since that could support the cut, but why on the end shaped to a point?
The one shaped to a point makes it very easy to hold on to small pieces. If I left it full length my hand would not be able to grasp something at the middle. But with a pointed tip I can grab small pieces all the way up to the cutting line. Just makes it a bit more comfortable to use.
Wood By Wright always brother finally got my laptop back up and running so I can enter the challenge I thought it ended on June 1st not started on the 1st..lol so im glad about that too.
Why the point at one end? I can imagine how the v-shape would help with cutting logs or irregular shapes, but the point is confusing. Is it for bracing into a corner of the shop?
The pointed shape on one end makes it easier for holding things in place either being able to wrap your hand around there and clamp onto something or make it easier to actually put a clamp on a board.
The bird's mouth on one end makes it easier to do small pieces and being able to come in from other angles for some odd cuts. The point on the other end makes it great for being able to grab or clamp at the end of the board.

This one and the side table are Excellent projects for those hand tool beginners!
I like the unintentional irony of the hand tools and the smart watch..
Oh there is very intentional irony in that. I used to take it off for the videos but then thought this is too much fun. Lol
Did you see Saw? I saw Saw, too. You saw Saw 2, too? I see. So we both saw Saw and saw Saw 2, too.
Great hand craft
Great video and bench, cheers from London 👍🏴🇬🇧

Great project James with lots of useful techniques. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure man!
Great job on this have been looking to build one and need to just get started. Funny how starting leads to finishing..😃
Nice shoes 👍
Best shop shoes you can have!
Hi James, Another great video, thank you. Also great to see the frame saw in action. Have a Great Day

Yep, i want one, but i want more space first. Nice bench.
yup that was my problem too.
On the subject of alliterative puns :

That turned out awesome! If only I had a need for one, hah.
LOL it does not help much with a table saw.
You need a new coffee table don't you?
Awesome work on the saw bench James!
Thanks Donny!
Thinking about one of those triton power planes for myself. Like you I need to move along and scrubbing down wood does put a hamper on time. It would be naive to think the old masters wouldn't have a tool like that instead of a scrub plane.
right on. for me, it is all about what is more fun. I like doing a bit with a scrub plane but a full day of it is no fun at all.

Do know good adresses for a rip cut hand saw? I’m from Canada and I just can’t find ! thanks and have a good year…
Those are really hard to make. Bad Axe tool works has started making them. And Pax also has them.
@@WoodByWright ok I think at the lee valley store they got it…..thanks!
Great job, it is awesome and I like it. But why you skipped using the wood conditioner before start painting?

Nice haul by the way.
@woodbywright have you thought of making a shaving horse as well now that you have the room? or does your bench eliminate the use case for you?
that is high on my list. I will probably make a pony mount onto the bench but it is coming!
Wood By Wright that's great, I've always wanted to make a shaving horse since I can't stand for long periods of time.
Your thoughts please I have very bad knees if I were to build one higher and make the top thicker would it work to use hold downs and also use it for a bench for spokeshave ect.
Sure. I don't think I would make it any taller though. Just make a thicker top with something to clamp to. That way you can just lean forward and rest your hand on it without kneeling on it. But you can make it whatever way works for you. We are all different.
Do you need a partner on your see-saw bench? Just remember to let them down and hope they don't let you down too hard
Surprised to see no linseed oil :P
I never saw a saw to saw the way the one I saw in Arkansas... If I remember correctly from the mouth of an english teacher, some 60 years ago.
great videos. Found your channel not too long ago. Where about in the country are you?
Thank you Blake, I am in Rockford IL

Dang I just built my sawbench. Why didn't you do this video a week ago?
LOL sorry, Eric. I wanted to learn from you first!
I made a saw bench first thing. Mostly I use it to hold cut pieces while i'm not working on them :(
+Konrad Zielinski well it is not a necessary tool. But any horizontal surface attracts clutter.
Could you not utilize some bench dogs to help hold those less wide pieces?
sure. others like to ass clamps and holdfasts. but I find they often take more time than they are worth for me. but to each their own.
Thanks for replying! I always learn something new with every video that you put put. Thanks again!
+Adam Brcic thanks. That means a lot.
please make a saw til... i need one of those
it is high on my list after the new bench.
Why the point at one end? I can imagine how the v-shape would help with cutting logs or irregular shapes, but the point is confusing. Is it for bracing into a corner of the shop?
The pointed shape on one end makes it easier for holding things in place either being able to wrap your hand around there and clamp onto something or make it easier to actually put a clamp on a board.
You always see-saw around
Why is the benchtop shaped like an arrow?
The pointed end makes it easy to grab and clamp. The other end is a bird's mouth. That will support the sides of parts you are cutting out.
@@WoodByWright Thank you. This makes sense. I wondered if it was contemporary art or if the shape had a real purpose. I will purchase the plan.
Why do the angles on top?
The bird's mouth on one end makes it easier to do small pieces and being able to come in from other angles for some odd cuts. The point on the other end makes it great for being able to grab or clamp at the end of the board.
