You probably aren't going to read this... But that's okay I just wanted to tell you that your woodworking has inspired me to woodwork as a hobby and you have changed my life. I owe you more than you'll ever know. Thanks samurai
@@manny3549 I do not have a channel but since then I have hand built everything everything in my home and started a side business with woodworking. CNC. Epoxy wood tables etc. it’s been a blast.
Possibly the most gorgeous workbench I've ever seen! Your craftsmanship and attention to detail are spectacular. The design and ability to break it down for moving is excellent. The sliding vice design and details are awesome. Art, heirloom furniture, and tool. This is a masterpiece workbench I hope your kids catch the wood bug and it stays in your family for several generations.
I don’t think you realize what impact you have on some peoples lives. Sir, you are amazingly talented and an incredible inspiration to thousands that I know for sho! I know this video is a couple years old but remains a gem! Awesome awesome job
Wow, you're piece of work is actually a piece of art. Very relaxing to watch that workbench being made. Amazing to see no screws or nails being used. Very few people have your skills and knowledge. Thanks for sharing!
They will always remember you! I have carpentry tools that were my father’s . Almost thirty years ago when I received them. Even today, when I pick one up to use . I feel his presence and here him giving me guidance on how to use it! It’s a great thing to be able to hand things down to the kids!
Wish more of the craftmen would be like you, Sir. I'm currently using my grandfather's tools and starting to learn joinery and simple woodcrafts from all the material he left here. I'm living in the old winecellar/garage with my girlfriend at the small plot of my grandparents and trust me, when I say it: your attitude, precision, talent and perseverance will live on and speak to your children just as you wished! Through your work and thoughts You are giving priceless heritage to the world, not just your children. Keep up with it, never cease to create! Greetings from Hungary! :)
Great quote at the beginning. Here’s another I’ve always liked: “Not every successful man is a good father. But every good father is a successful man.”
Gosh. Jesse I watch this video like once a month. I'm still in awe of how absolutely stunning and excellent the bench, and your video for it is. Great frickin work man.
I just wanted to thank you very much! I've had a rough day at my own workshop. Things didn't go to plan, Motivation was lost and I quit early today. I felt like rewatching your video. Cause It did Inspire me eight years ago to pick up a trade myself. And thank you so much. I love the work, the dedication and the craftsmanship! Thanks for cheering me up
That is such a beautiful work bench. Truly a work of Art, that bench could sit in an Art Gallery. I would have that in the middle of the living room just to show it off. Great craftsmanship.
This is most beautiful work bench I have every seen! I love your choice of contrasting wood. I caught myself saying no effing way on several occasions during this video. Beautiful work, man!
Who would have thought a video about building a workbench could bring tears to your eyes from marveling at the craftmanship and then hit you in the "feels" with the ending. Please, Please pass your craftmanship on to your children if they choose to or to an apprentice. You are a master!
That is the most beautiful project I've ever seen. The Francis quote at the beginning is wholly appropriate, you sir are an artist of the first water and that is shaker level craftsmanship. Your grandsons grandsons and granddaughters granddaughters will still treasure that bench and I would recommend keeping a copy of this video on a memory chip hidden inside one of the pins so that in 200 years someone will watch that speech at the end and hear the voice that they could only have imagined.
+The Samurai Carpenter came back to watch it again. third time already. i'm starting my workbanch next week, but it will be made with spruce i have left from my house building. after watching your project i decided to use joints like yours. with that little wedges. so it will be like test workbanch to praktice and sometimes later I will make something like this. good luck and best wishes from Ukraine;)
I was originally going to make a cheeky comment about not seeing any katanas, but that closing remark, "My hope in building this work bench is that, one day, years from now, when I'm long gone, my children will see this old, dusty work bench and hear their dad's voice telling them to always persist," actually made my eyes a little misty. That's some incredible work, there. I think you definitely qualified as the third type of St. Francis' people who work. Thank you for sharing.
I am in awe of this video. Amazing discipline, dedication, devotion, vision, and all I'm sure is driven by your love and vision for your legacy! You are inspiring. In humility, I humbly thank you. My background was always in the electronic computer engineering, network, application, CAD, electro-mechanical assembly, technical support field for the past 20+ years and have recently decided to switch to Carpentry. Again thank you for the inspiration that you are and continue to be!
Your craftsmanship amazes me. As an older guy (61 YO), my failure to build a skill like this haunts me. Thanks for the opportunity to live vicariously through your videos.
Man I watched this video a few years ago and I never forgot about it. Now that I finally have the space to make it happen, I came back to watch it again so that I can start planning to construct this incredible piece! Beautiful work brother!
That is the most beautiful workbench I've ever seen! A stunning creation. I've watched the video 3 times now. Very well done sir. I'm not ashamed to say I got a little emotional watching the lumber take shape into a functional piece of art that will be around for hundreds of years no doubt. I can't imagine how fulfilling it was for you to see it complete. That is the workbench that all other workbenches will be compared to forever in my opinion.
I've seen some beautiful workbenches. I would have to say this one is still my favorite. I just love those through tenons. Tusked, wedged, pinned...they all added a lot of character. And that shoulder vise, wow.
About midway through this amazing build, it dawned on me why you are doing this. For your kids. Then you confirmed it in the end. Just an amazing work.
One of the finest workbench video I've seen till date. Awesome work at every level, be it the workbench, video & music, just captivating to watch from start to end. "He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist", you prove this statement.
Sir, your talent and workmanship are any beyond any words I could write to describe. Thank you for the privilege of viewing your craftsmanship. It is without peer.
Wow.... Just wow that almost brought a tear to my eye, your channel is honestly an inspiration for a young guy like myself. Especially being so multi faceted, those kids are lucky to have a dad like you congrats man!
The subjects covered in this woodworking website *TopFineWoodworking. Com* varies from wood types to tool types and uses. A few other subjects range from the various kinds of wood along with their distinct levels of difficulty when it comes to managing them. If you are still a beginner in wood working, then you will find this book very beneficial.
Wow. Absolutely beautiful table and as a new father I like what you said at the end about the workbench being an enduring item to pass on to the next generation. Great work
I'm revisiting this in 2019, having watched it new in 2016. I've now built wedged mortise and tenons, tusked, etc. Seeing your attention to detail and how perfect you make these joints make me respect you even more as a woodworker.
I watched some of your early videos awhile back and I had to reserve judgement on whether you were just another frustrated hippie kook or were you the real thing?? You have more than proven your worth with this project. Even at such a condensed speed of construction, I could see the pride, the attention to detail, and the thought that went into making each and every cut, join, and finishing touch in a series of separate works of art all contributing to the final mosaic that you call the Samurai Workbench. It would not have bothered me one bit to be able to watch that entire project from the measuring of the first board to the last stroke of the finish onto the last support in real time video. I am old and humble enough to admit that there were moments when you were adjusting something or taking a hair off of a tenon by hand, that I had to fight back the tears. I felt the emotion that was there in your actions as you made a minor adjustment to a fitting and your reflexes when that fitting slid together as planned. Do you realize that, when an entire project has the hand of the master upon it from start to finish, it reflects all of the balance, the blending of species of wood to form the whole, and I almost was embarrassed to see that square mortising chisel used where a hand chisel should have had the responsibility of making those cuts. It was almost like someone spliced a piece of another video into an otherwise perfect representation of the tools used and the knowledge and skills needed to do what you did with that bench. You will do great things in the woodworking world, Grasshopper ... :-), I would love to be there when you reach my age and see what you have done with your skills. It would be a highlight in my life to witness the results of such dedication. You are to be commended on your excellent start on a career that will have no bounds but those in your own mind and body as you challenge yourself to move ever higher in your education and training.
I built an outfeed workbench with an mdf top. I love the material as a work surface. My question to you is did you put a finish on mdf? Anyway impressive video.
There is no MDF. Its just a troll trying to get you to another site to buy plans. I wish these idiots would stop trying to leach off of others. Especially ones as talented as the Samurai
Love the quote from Francis de Assisi - you might also like this one - "The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed, but a thing created is loved before it exists.” ~ Gilbert Keith Chesterton
Beautiful craftsmanship from a man who believes if it's not done as a labor of love and with a craftsman's eye to detail, it shouldn't be done. I know your children will learn so many valuable traits, lessons, and have memories of their time spent with you.
I’ve watched so many bench videos. This is by far my favorite, and I will be basing my own bench on this design. It’s also just a peaceful meditative video. Amazing work Samurai.
Good news, the dislikes aren't about the jealousy:) it's just that they no longer wish to receive associated videos in the newsfeed:) And the vid can get its promotion based on the activity in any case:) btw, the more comments, the better
Amazing, simply AMAZING work. I feel the same way about my own profession, dentistry. But I have to tell you, I'm having some issues with my TMJoint now because I've had to put my jaw back on, after picking it up off of the floor.
This was most impressive. My hat is off to you. Beautiful! This is by far the best bench I've seen produced . It's guys like you that make me go back in the shop everyday.
You are an artist young man, this video was well done (besides the actual bench crafting) music was on point, time lapse sync was excellent, overall great editing. It was also nice to see the family. Keep up the superb work! Thank you very much for sharing.
Hey Jesse, Thanks a lot for posting this video, your skills are amazing, and it takes a lot of work to record, and edit everything to share with us.... I have no words to describe how astonished I've got to see the whole process... I don't have the skill, nor the tools to make something even close to your bench, but it was very inspirational for me anyways.... THE MOST beautiful workbench I've ever seen!!! ;-)
The Samurai Carpenter is a no good quitter. Closing shop and going off grid. But, thanks for this workbench. I’m incorporating much of what you do in this workbench into my first workbench! Thanks Samurai! I hope you manage to keep building!
ive been working wood on and off for 15 years and this brought a tear to my eye. I hear you on the emotional part. Ive been building up my collection of hand tools because i have discovered that i get much more satisfaction from things i make with my hands than stuff i use machines to do. Mostly inspired by this channel.
Simply beautiful! Loved the quote at the beginning and got a lump in my throat with the words said at the end. Having 2 boys of my own your words took me by surprise and got a lil choked up myself thinking about being able to have them around my shop (in its beginning stage) and being able to pass something like this down to them and pass on my knowledge! Thank you!
I never thought a woodworking video would bring a tear to my eye. That was such an awesome piece of history to watch. Your history being made while sharing it with the rest of us. Thank you for making this video and inspiring me, not just in woodworking but in life, especially as a father and grandfather. A great reminder that someday, one of my kids or even their kids may find something I made with my hands and it spark a fond memory. This is what its all about right here in this video. Thank you again sir.
Absolutely Beautiful! Inspiration for me to build one myself. Any chance that you would be able to go through it and explain its features that it has and their purpose?
From all who came to see (experience) this as it was published to those who come to see (experience) it now, I wonder how many found it to be as moving and special as I somehow found it to be? There is something so beautiful and special witnessing the craft and creation contained withing this amazing video. For this viewer this something so special is watching God expressing him/her self self through this incredibly gifted human being. I don't often feel inspired to account such feelings publicly, but this is definitely one of those special times for me.
Well... If you are able to hand out those kinds of inspirational heartfelt praises like that on a regular basis... then "Super Wingman" is a very deserving title... :) but jokes aside... It does have an emotionally uplifting arc all the way to completion... Great video Great work... and very deserving of all the compliments given... Cheers
I enjoyed every second , it took me back to the first time I walked in to a wood working shop 1971 and became a cabinet maker in my station I had a old wood workers bench . Always dreaming of having my own cabinet shop. My dream came through in 1984 until 1917 when I retired . It all happened in Chicago . (I truly miss my SHOP)
Great job! By the way, that quote is by Louis Nizer from Between You and Me, Beechurst Press, 1948. It gets misattributed to Francis of Assisi all the time. “A man who works with his hands is a laborer. A man who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. A man who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist." -- Louis Nizer, 1904-1994
This is the first video I saw of yours, I loved what you said at the end about the workbench and what it will mean to your children... Jesse take a breath and heed your own advice, you'll get through this challenging time and be a better man for it ... God Bless~
I don't know if I'm inspired or demoralized (only because of my lack of skills). This bench is a piece of art and I can only dream of having the skills one day of making such a beautiful piece.
I purchased the plans and video tutorial for this bench. I would call myself a detail oriented novis wood worker. If you take your time and follow his direction you will be a better craftsman after the build. I wont say I haven't scratched my head a few hundred times, but he walks you through the steps quite well. Good Job my man!!!! Money well spent, Im glad it went to you!
Hey guys - awesome stuff. Have searched the comments but can't find, how long do you think you spent building this and what do you think the material cost were at the end of the day?
Fantastic detailing. I love the tapered dovetail used for securing the deadman, and the decoration you gave it where it'll mostly never be seen. Is that your original idea?
The whole time all I could think about is "Man that is beautiful!" but when you started talking about your kids I cried! Thanks, man! you've motivated me to do the same!
You probably aren't going to read this... But that's okay I just wanted to tell you that your woodworking has inspired me to woodwork as a hobby and you have changed my life. I owe you more than you'll ever know. Thanks samurai
Funny, this guy has no clue how he just created a bond with my son like I've never known. And I love him for that.
Lots of people read this...do you have your own channel and produce great woodwork by now? hoping so. Thank you for sharing!
@@manny3549 I do not have a channel but since then I have hand built everything everything in my home and started a side business with woodworking. CNC. Epoxy wood tables etc. it’s been a blast.
Very nice
4 years later and i still come back and rewatch this video... Its just peaceful to watch
Just did the same too. Quality.
Same here! This video was hugely inspirational to me when it first came out. Still is.
Possibly the most gorgeous workbench I've ever seen! Your craftsmanship and attention to detail are spectacular. The design and ability to break it down for moving is excellent. The sliding vice design and details are awesome. Art, heirloom furniture, and tool.

Great quote at the beginning. Here’s another I’ve always liked: “Not every successful man is a good father. But every good father is a successful man.”
Amen.
Just sent that quote to a couple of young fathers who will be great fathers.
👍👍
Gosh. Jesse I watch this video like once a month. I'm still in awe of how absolutely stunning and excellent the bench, and your video for it is. Great frickin work man.
What an incredibly nice project. You almost made me cry at the end with your words about your children.
He’s a master craftsman like you!

Anyone who has ever done even a little bit of wood work has to admire your straightness and accuracy ! Wonderful workmanship.
therapeutic in fact..... symphony of excellence...
That is such a beautiful work bench. Truly a work of Art, that bench could sit in an Art Gallery. I would have that in the middle of the living room just to show it off. Great craftsmanship.
dont even understand how someone could dislike something so beautiful
Trolls mate. Trolls, and Ikea powered weekend warrior idiots.
He seems to be a very polarizing personality. People like him will always have haters.
No dust extraction
kids, playing with dangerous tools
Its because it's part of an add. To get the plans you must pay. Those that dislike dont have money and want for free.
Extraordinary, beautiful and the end words brought a tear to my eye.
This is most beautiful work bench I have every seen! I love your choice of contrasting wood. I caught myself saying no effing way on several occasions during this video. Beautiful work, man!
*ever
Man, I never comment on videos but that was truly remarkable. True craftsmanship. Beautiful

This is the most beautiful work bench I've ever seen
Who would have thought a video about building a workbench could bring tears to your eyes from marveling at the craftmanship and then hit you in the "feels" with the ending. Please, Please pass your craftmanship on to your children if they choose to or to an apprentice. You are a master!
That is the most beautiful project I've ever seen. The Francis quote at the beginning is wholly appropriate, you sir are an artist of the first water and that is shaker level craftsmanship. Your grandsons grandsons and granddaughters granddaughters will still treasure that bench and I would recommend keeping a copy of this video on a memory chip hidden inside one of the pins so that in 200 years someone will watch that speech at the end and hear the voice that they could only have imagined.
That, my friend, is a work of art!
so beautiful.... it's propably the most beautiful workbench i ever saw.
+The Samurai Carpenter came back to watch it again. third time already. i'm starting my workbanch next week, but it will be made with spruce i have left from my house building. after watching your project i decided to use joints like yours. with that little wedges. so it will be like test workbanch to praktice and sometimes later I will make something like this.
good luck and best wishes from Ukraine;)
I was originally going to make a cheeky comment about not seeing any katanas, but that closing remark, "My hope in building this work bench is that, one day, years from now, when I'm long gone, my children will see this old, dusty work bench and hear their dad's voice telling them to always persist," actually made my eyes a little misty.
That's some incredible work, there. I think you definitely qualified as the third type of St. Francis' people who work. Thank you for sharing.
This thing is a work of art. It's too beautiful to beat up making projects.
That is a work of art, can't think of anything better to leave your kids
I am in awe of this video. Amazing discipline, dedication, devotion, vision, and all I'm sure is driven by your love and vision for your legacy! You are inspiring. In humility, I humbly thank you. My background was always in the electronic computer engineering, network, application, CAD, electro-mechanical assembly, technical support field for the past 20+ years and have recently decided to switch to Carpentry. Again thank you for the inspiration that you are and continue to be!
Sir, I was held rapt for the duration of this build. This workbench is a piece of heirloom quality fine furniture. Thank you so much for sharing.
In our country (I am a Pole) they used to say "Masterpiece".
Watching what you create (without flattery) is a real pleasure.
omg that shaving in the end, I want my casket to be filled with these when I die!
It's a privilege to watch a true craftsman at work. that bench is truly beautiful, functional and a to top it off a work of art. Major kudos
Your craftsmanship amazes me. As an older guy (61 YO), my failure to build a skill like this haunts me. Thanks for the opportunity to live vicariously through your videos.
its not too late
To Scott Gibbs
Think positively, my friend. Advice from me to you AND TO MYSELF. As Joe Poe said, " It's not too late". It's NEVER too late.
It’s a total pleasure to watch a master craftsman work. A master of all trades!
Man I watched this video a few years ago and I never forgot about it. Now that I finally have the space to make it happen, I came back to watch it again so that I can start planning to construct this incredible piece! Beautiful work brother!
A work of art & craftsmanship. Inspiring.

I felt a pang in my heart as I watched this come together. True artistry.
The subjects covered in this woodworking website *TopFineWoodworking. Com* varies from wood types to tool types and uses. A few other subjects range from the various kinds of wood along with their distinct levels of difficulty when it comes to managing them.

Wow! Over one million views for a wood working channel. Mr. "Samurai" should be congratulated.
Watching a video about making a bench isn't supposed to be so emotional. Love your passion and wish I had your skill.
I watched some of your early videos awhile back and I had to reserve judgement on whether you were just another frustrated hippie kook or were you the real thing?? You have more than proven your worth with this project. Even at such a condensed speed of construction, I could see the pride, the attention to detail, and the thought that went into making each and every cut, join, and finishing touch in a series of separate works of art all contributing to the final mosaic that you call the Samurai Workbench.

work surface. My question to you is did you put a finish on mdf? Anyway
impressive video.
where did you see mdf??? That's not even wood....
you sir, are a master. inspiring and admirational. i especially liked the look on your friends face when you fit the top at 6:45
There is no MDF. Its just a troll trying to get you to another site to buy plans. I wish these idiots would stop trying to leach off of others. Especially ones as talented as the Samurai

i saw your video for .. 6. times? you are unveleiable. respect man
He really is a Samurai
I would be afraid to use it. It would end up in my dining room. Beautiful!
Can't believe that 622 jealous people gave it a thumbs down. Geish!
update sept 8th, 2019, 633 jealous people.

Awsome can you build it for me?
Wow...the workbench is not only beautiful and your words just as beautiful. God bless
Amazing, simply AMAZING work. I feel the same way about my own profession, dentistry. But I have to tell you, I'm having some issues with my TMJoint now because I've had to put my jaw back on, after picking it up off of the floor.
This was most impressive. My hat is off to you. Beautiful! This is by far the best bench I've seen produced . It's guys like you that make me go back in the shop everyday.
In the 364 days previous in 2016...I have seen very few things as inspiring as this... amazing... getting reaction build another bench myself!
Beautiful children, you are truly blessed. This bench is a piece of heirloom quality furniture, you are a talented craftsman. Great video to boot.
You are an artist young man, this video was well done (besides the actual bench crafting) music was on point, time lapse sync was excellent, overall great editing. It was also nice to see the family. Keep up the superb work! Thank you very much for sharing.

Amazing workmanship, your joinery skills are unbelievable.
WOW BRO! I'm very new to wood working. You are truly GIFTED! This video literally made me a lil emotional--THANK YOU for sharing!

Having 2 boys of my own your words took me by surprise and got a lil choked up myself thinking about being able to have them around my shop (in its beginning stage) and being able to pass something like this down to them and pass on my knowledge!
Thank you!
I had the same feeling.
That is one of the most beautiful workbenches Ive seen.
I never thought a woodworking video would bring a tear to my eye. That was such an awesome piece of history to watch. Your history being made while sharing it with the rest of us. Thank you for making this video and inspiring me, not just in woodworking but in life, especially as a father and grandfather. A great reminder that someday, one of my kids or even their kids may find something I made with my hands and it spark a fond memory. This is what its all about right here in this video. Thank you again sir.
Truly functional, but also an incredible piece of art. Just fantastic!
@Lucas Here are some great woodworking plans if you're interested: HootWood. com
...a beautiful video of your art. Your kids will treasure this! : )
Absolutely Beautiful! Inspiration for me to build one myself. Any chance that you would be able to go through it and explain its features that it has and their purpose?
+Sean Miller Link at the end has a 3 hour video.
+Sean Miller Features video will be up on Friday.
+The Samurai Carpenter Thank you Sir. Looking forward to it

Superb! I would appreciate a video demonstrating your sharpening technique. That ribbon coming off your hand plane was impressive.
+Chris Windsor I have two videos on sharpening. Check my video page.
+The Samurai Carpenter Thanks! I should have looked there first; sorry.
From all who came to see (experience) this as it was published to those who come to see (experience) it now, I wonder how many found it to be as moving and special as I somehow found it to be? There is something so beautiful and special witnessing the craft and creation contained withing this amazing video. For this viewer this something so special is watching God expressing him/her self self through this incredibly gifted human being. I don't often feel inspired to account such feelings publicly, but this is definitely one of those special times for me.
Amen to that brother... I had the exact same experience!
Well... If you are able to hand out those kinds of inspirational heartfelt praises like that on a regular basis... then "Super Wingman" is a very deserving title... :) but jokes aside... It does have an emotionally uplifting arc all the way to completion... Great video Great work... and very deserving of all the compliments given... Cheers
A beautiful piece of art! Love it!
I enjoyed every second , it took me back to the first time I walked in to a wood working shop 1971 and became a cabinet maker in my station I had a old wood workers bench . Always dreaming of having my own cabinet shop. My dream came through in 1984 until 1917 when I retired . It all happened in Chicago . (I truly miss my SHOP)
Great job!
By the way, that quote is by Louis Nizer from Between You and Me, Beechurst Press, 1948. It gets misattributed to Francis of Assisi all the time.
“A man who works with his hands is a laborer.
A man who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman.
A man who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist."
-- Louis Nizer, 1904-1994
The finest workbench I’ve ever seen Very Well Done! 👍. Thank you 🙏🏻
I can't believe there's still rageous people to dislike this work... Damn, it's a piece of art not a workbench !
To spend this eleven minutes by enjoying your perfection skill and art was a privilege.
The Picasso of Carpentry.Truly talented.
This is the only movie I've sat through in the last five years. Mate, Hollywood !
That guy is one of my favorites wood masters. His work is so perfect
In addition to being a woodworking masterpiece this video inspires me to be a better Father
That's the message isn't it?
That is the most beautiful workbench I have ever seen. What amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail. Thank you for sharing.
This is the first video I saw of yours, I loved what you said at the end about the workbench and what it will mean to your children... Jesse take a breath and heed your own advice, you'll get through this challenging time and be a better man for it ... God Bless~
I don't know if I'm inspired or demoralized (only because of my lack of skills). This bench is a piece of art and I can only dream of having the skills one day of making such a beautiful piece.
Coolest workbench what I've seen
I agree here. I love your projects, which are done with accuracy and love! please continue your channel.
A true master at work, to watch is worth its weight in gold...absolutely delightful
I purchased the plans and video tutorial for this bench. I would call myself a detail oriented novis wood worker. If you take your time and follow his direction you will be a better craftsman after the build. I wont say I haven't scratched my head a few hundred times, but he walks you through the steps quite well. Good Job my man!!!! Money well spent, Im glad it went to you!
Thanks brother. Send me some pics when it is finished.
Hey guys - awesome stuff. Have searched the comments but can't find, how long do you think you spent building this and what do you think the material cost were at the end of the day?
Good on you. If I find the brass to do this, most every step would be a first.
Hitechredneck hi there how long it took you get the bench done and how much did it cost after its all finished
What was your total cost?
Amazing work and absolutely an heirloom finished piece for your children and grandchildren I'm sure!!
Beautiful bench, great video.
Was für eine schöne Arbeit, danke das du sie mir gezeigt hast.
Liebe und Frieden für dich und deine Familie

Dammit dude, what you said really hit me in the feels.
Hahahaha
Beautiful work, beautiful thoughts. Thank you.
Fantastic detailing. I love the tapered dovetail used for securing the deadman, and the decoration you gave it where it'll mostly never be seen. Is that your original idea?
I didn't get the idea with the tapering? 🤔
And what's a deadman?
A real pleasure to watch a Craftsman & Artist at work..
Beautiful attention to detail keep it up God bless
I bet there's a cowboy carpenter somewhere in Japan
i wish to like your comment but i need to leave it at 69

Long Ho Hockey carpenter just doesn't have the same ring to it. lol
Maple Leaf Carpenter.
^Sorry Carpenter
That is a work of art. If it was mine it would be in my living room!
The whole time all I could think about is "Man that is beautiful!" but when you started talking about your kids I cried! Thanks, man! you've motivated me to do the same!
Be persistent ,Follow your dreams and you won't go wrong
