How to Build a Japanese Inspired Bench
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 лис 2015
- In this video, I built this bench using traditional wedge joinery. The center stretcher is attached to the legs with a through tenon and wedged in place with a through tenon.
Wedges hold the top in place. The bench is made of walnut, and the top wedges are made of mahogany.
This type of woodworking is what keeps me building custom furniture.
The finished used was a wipe on satin poly amzn.to/2AWjMWO (affiliate link)
This Bench is from my Japanese inspiration collection.

What a phenomenal feeling!!!!!!!!!!
That a lovely piece of work
beautiful bench and smooth music.
Love it. Working on a similar table right now. Thanks for sharing!
That was pretty cool! Thanks for sharing!
This is absurdly beautiful. Great stuff.
Beautiful work.
Very solid and sturdy.
I like how you attached the top to the legs. I'd been thinking of using that method but hadn't found it in practice. I like the 'double wedge' in contrasting woods, very nice indeed.
Nice to look at as you work!
Nice technique and a beautiful piece.
High skill level required. Great skills shown.
beautiful.
Beautiful build
Brian, great accuracy and beautiful finishing.
Love the design!
It's not everyday I see a radial arm saw being used. Looks like it's in great condition. Also wonderful job on the bench
Amazing work.
Beautiful just beautiful, the choice of music was beautiful as well.
...beautiful piece...
Gorgeous
That was excellent!
Real inspirational work very well done.
I have not encountered a better music selection supporting a woodworking video. Great music for any-dang-thing, really. But, such a well thought out pairing to watch wood being worked. So many woodworkers on youtube maintain a keen eye for design and an admirable dedication to the craft and quality of the art, and clearly devote hard work to create videos. With that said, I think an overwhelming number of said mechanics must have had bananas stuck in their ears when they paired their music to otherwise such well worked videos. Nice work. Good ear. Thanks
beautiful work!
Beautiful, great work Brian.
Man this is great. I really love the look of the wedged tenon. I've been interested in traditional joinery for a while and seeing stuff like this really makes me want to get into my shop and try some things.
Nice work!
I like your bench it's very beautiful! Thank you.
Beautiful project! You do great work.

Just stumbled on to your channel. Beautiful stuff. Love a lot of the choices you make.
The fact that you are playing jazz bass and drums is something different. Thanks ok piano too. Dig that. When I play jazz on work site at times it's met with stone ears ........ thanks for a little inspiration with the perspiration.....
The angles tenons look good.

woooow the finish is incredible :P
+Larché Jacques Clarel what's the species of wood used?
what stains did u use on the wood,if u dont mind my asking?
I wish this design could be purchased. I saw some other designs on your website but was disappointed when this one wasnt on there. This is my favorite bench build I can find on UA-cam but I don't feel confident in taking it on without any plans 😬
Man I've watched a lot of your vids now and you're bad ass at woodworking man. Total inspiration. Good choice in tunes as well and I'm metal head but it works and I like it. :D
Nice.
Amazing! Regards from Chile
That was epic - subscribed!

Que show!...Obrigado aqui do Brasil, parabéns pelo vídeo o banco ficou maravilhoso, bela criatividade.Fique com Deus!...☺
nice!
Very nice thanks for sharing.... Now go tune those hand planes
Great work, for your next project, Please make a Japanese mallet, I used a claw hammer to repair fences on the farm.
Gotta build me one of these no screws/no brad nails project some time soon
Yup so true & challenging
clean
Very nice design. Love the high tech packing paper CAD system you used for laying it out.
Would love to know who the awesome piano player is that comes into the sound track around 4 minutes in.
Amazing build Brian. I'm on video number 3 and all of them have been absolute gold!
Love that ! Great job. 1st time viewer. Subscribed, 👍, 🔔.
Nice work Brian. I hope you are playing that Jazz whilst you are working. 🙂
Most often a little Charlie Parker or Miles Davis.
@@Benham_Design Nice choice. 🙂 I hope you don't mind, but I may pinch a few of your ideas, especially the Japanese style. I am working on a dedicated guitar stool and matching guitar stand. I am not sure about whether to have it combined (imagine the old telephone seat/table with the shelf for the phone book), or separate. I guess the final design will dictate my decision..
We all pinch from some place, send me a picture of what you end up with.
Outstanding video! Beautiful finish, can you share what you put on it?
Any videos on your finishing process?
So elegantly simply but what a show of joinery! I'll bet the client considers it quite a showpiece. The wedged tenons canted to the vertical are really pretty. I wonder if you thought about cutting the mortises on the slant instead and then locking the frame up with the wedges on the stretcher ends?
Wow--great job! I am in awe of the mortise and tenon joinery. For the life of me I have no idea as to why 74+ people would down-vote this?!
Perfeito!!!
Now THAT, is Art! Well done lad! Well done...Can I have it please?! Lol
Brian Benham ...Your welcome...But you didn't answer if I could have it!
Brian Benham ...Fair enough...Btw, what did you get for it??
Brian Benham Damn! Lol...You'll have to give it to me bro, I'm a poor guy! Lol...Have a blessed day, subbed and look forward to seeing more great work...Shalom
Brian, this turned out looking great. Did you build this from pre-existing plans?
Japan made me do it! :P
you make tasteful joints mate, good work
