Years ago I went on a chair making course with Mike Abbott and I learnt that the previous apprentice with Mike was someone called Ben. Ben was highly praised. This is the same Ben.
This IS the same Ben!
Best explanation I've ever heard on using the drawn knife and shave bench. Thanks
Fantastic so pleased you enjoyed it. The shave horse has got to be the best woodwork tool I have in my workshop. So versatile 👍 many thanks cheers Ben
Outstanding demonstration of the drawknife and shavehorse. Very relaxing and engaging. I learned so much. Thank you!
Great stuff so pleased you enjoyed it.
Thanks a lot cheers Ben
This is exceptionally skilful work, I wish all children had the opportunity to try this kind of thing.
Well it’s certainly a lot easier to get into this kind of craft than conventional wood work as everything you need you can make. Glad you enjoyed it. cheers Ben
That is just fantastic in every of its facets. Nothing ugly our ancestors did in every bit of how they worked and what their work produced. Timeless, ultimate technique. Fantastic demonstration and explanation.
Great explanation of the shaving horse! Glad I clicked
Strangely satisfying watching the shavings curl off!great video!
Love it.... people like YOU should never die... NAMASTE! Thanks for bringing this to us....
Truthfully, I will probably never do any woodworking, but I still find it interesting and satisfying to watch these videos.
Excelente video amigo, saludos desde Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷
Happiness is a sharp blade.
Thank you Ben! Glad to have you back putting out content. I've been enjoying one of your crook knives for a couple years and it's great stuff! Saving and planning for some more purchases as time and projects come.
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks
I too am very interested in a set of plans for your shaving horse....
I’m enjoying this introduction very much. They’re good videos. Thank you.
I would love to have plans for that shave horse! I gotta make one! And I love your work!!
Great video , I want a shave horse now !!
Thanks so much for the tutorial on how to properly use a draw knife. I haven't been angling my draw knife but I will from now on. I will also emulate your "flat side" technique as well. Thanks so much for your time, expertise and sharing your experience in this excellent video!!! Also, I'm enamored with your shave horse......hopefully you will share the dimensions at some point in time. Many thanks again for this tremendous video!!!
What a great piece of kit, (both the horse and the knife), I can see Phil Harding from Time Team using one ! :)
Makes it look easy. Thanks Ben, keep them coming.
Good afternoon, Ben! You're good. Thank you.
Enjoyed it, Ben !
Say Heah Ben, Cheers. Now that's why I rank you this high. Your definitely one of the best.,, p

thank you Ben great set of vids
nice little video Ben
Очень хороший образец станка. И очень хорошее пояснение.
this is just... fascinating.
perfectly explained great!
Another great video Ben ,will you be doing any videos suggesting tools for beginners ?
Thank you so much for your very informative video. I will try the process for making a mallet since I am a new green woodworker at best. I think I like the shave horse design you use. Is it easy to carve spoons with it, too? Do you have any plans for building it? Or would you recommend any special literature or website to learn about its construction? Thank you.
Hi, Great videos, very informative. I'm a newby when it comes to shavehorses and green woodwork, and have a question. you said that your drawknife has a slight curve to it, to get flat cuts? How does that work as my first thought was it would put a slight curve?
What start up tools would you suggest for a bigginner? Also what wood would you recommend a bigginner start on?
Ben do you sell and ship your draw knives if so could you give me an idea of the cost to the USA thanks
No answer? Also interested
Also interested where to get a good quality draw knife. I check Ben’s web store and no draw knife.
Very interesting tutorials.
I love to wacth them and to learn this hand job "old style".
I love so mutch to carve wood and I want to learn this tecniques.
I have a question:
You say green wood, but I saw the wood chips and I think it is dry and not green wood.
Can you give me some info about?
Thanks in advance and many thanks for sharing your experience!

So, what is a neck knife? ha, ha; you mean a neck tie?
Seth Warner I was wearing one of our Nomad friction folders in a neck sheath. Really great compact knife 👍
Great! What a great idea! Always out of the way no matter what youre doing, yet at your finger-tips in a moment. The only improvement I can think of is, a knife that opens with one hand, or, I suppose a sheath knife. Thank you for clear, detailed demos. Your accent does NOT take away from explanations, and I for one, can see/hear that the things you present are skills you have had for a long time; not just to teach on you tube, but before you tube came on the scene!
thanks thats great glad you enjoyed the video, as regard to the Nomad you can operate it one handed, thats what makes it such a great knife.
