I've watched this video about 20 times now and I will watch many more. I bought the plans, and it was worth every penny. I would have paid just for the instructional videos. Excellent instruction. I also started making calls to local sawmills (by local I mean the closest one is over 200 miles away) to buy all the wood and almost had a heart attack. So, I called the guys at L.L. Johnson Lumber/Johnsons Workbench in Charlotte MI. and they hooked me up. It was actually $250 more than I could have bought lumber, but I don't need to drive 209 miles one way, haul it back, cut and mill it. It is being delivered to my door and I only need to do minimum milling on the wood. (Thank you Justin) I probably won't post a picture of my finished bench as it will not live up to the original.
I work in a machine shop, I'm used to working with tolerances that measure in the thousandths of inches. I have precision machines at my disposal that cost as much as a small home. The level of precision you manage to get in something as easy to screw up as wood, using hand tools, commands my respect.
Thousandths of inches? I'd kill myself
@@kinkysama All machinists work with tight tolerances sometimes to tolerances of 10 thousands of an inch.
@@hcox1111 I don't want to be that guy but wouldn't this be easier with metric system?
@@kinkysama Everything would be easier metric, but We're stubborn and lumber is not on the metric system in the usa.

Dude, I really enjoy watching people with skill and art doing the things that either I've never done or wish I could do. This bench is truly a piece of art. Amazing work.
*TopFineWoodworking. Com* is a fantastic website about wood working. I took various classes as well as finished a one year diploma in carpentry at a local tech college; this is much better than any book I worked out of during those lessons. It explains everything regarding woodworking as well as complements it with helpful photos.?
My sentiments exactly.
I agree. This young man definitely melds craftsmanship and art together. You don't see this that often in today's machine heavy world.
I've watched this video no less than 10 times over the last 8 months. I seem to keep coming back to this as it is the best workbench build on UA-cam. Great job and a beautifully finished product.
ua-cam.com/video/pvVrVdqA9OE/v-deo.htmlsi=xqbR5L8jatvKafrK
My dude, the work here is seamless. I know this is supposed to be instructional, but after watching this I really doubt anything I make would come out nearly as good as that. Damn that's fine work
One of the best looking & functional benches I’ve ever seen. Incredible.
Guys like you are WHY I NEVER call myself a "woodworker" or "craftsman"...."artist" ....anything other than a dude who PLAYS with wood...you are ALL of those...this is the most beautiful work I have seen. Really Impressive. Thank you. Classic.
After watching way to many workbench builds on UA-cam I have to say this one is by far the best I have seen, absolutely incredible fit and finish look! But the best thing about this video is when I spotted the plywood and 2x4 workbench in the background and realized he too was a mere mortal at one point =)
Your hand tools are beautiful and love what you do with it. Watching how you sharpen your blades made me realize why I never manage with my hand plane 😁
This was one of the most therapeutic things I've ever watched... true craftsman
Chris, thank you for the fantastic video. I am thinking about building my own bespoke bench and you have given me some great tips and hints. I love that you show the hand tool working so clearly. Educators would do well to show your videos to their woodworking students - as much for their motivational ’can do’ elements - as the crucial artisan skills you teach so brilliantly. Many thanks again. Tim. Dublin, Ireland.
I love the way you show the first thing to do before you start work is to take the time to sharpen up. So many of these videos jump over that making people think it's not that important.
Hi Chris, I bought your plans last year and just finished my 2.4m (8ft) version of the bench. I am so happy with it! It looks so good I’m not sure I want to use it in case I scratch it 😜 The Veritas vices were outside my budget however I fitted quick release vices instead with the appropriate mods. The plans were great, I just had to convert the measurements to metric to order my timber here in Australia. Thanks again.👍
That bench is a beast! I really enjoyed the mix of power and hand tools in this project.
So appreciated your video...videos. I bought you plans for the bench and finally built it.... I should have done this 40 years ago. I went with the 9 foot version and went 30" wide andit suites me very well, couldn't be happier. I made some modifications for my own personal needs but your ideas and plans helped me alot. I went with a sliding deadman on both sides and for the bench hook I used an old idea. I am a piano tuner and cabinet maker so I have seen the way they used to attach grand piano legs which was a slip fit system that allows me to put on and take off the hook very quickly and is amazingly strong. I have save up wood and vices for many years for this project and after carefully studying your videos and plans I finally did it. It took me 2 weeks and had alot of fund with the draw tenons and really the whole thing. I had to glue the top upside down and then do the mortises and vices before I used an engine hoist to lit and turn that 9 foot monster onto its base. It fit like a dream. I made a sliding bench on top of it for detailed work as well as a router based board flattening jig so I could straighten boards up to 9 feet by 28" by 8" tall. Having a true top and even sides is like being in a different world. Now after having the bench for about 3 months I realize that I use it every day for almost everything and am thinking about building another one. I have 5 large work benches but absolutely love this one. Thanks for all your help!
this kind of wood work shows a lot of patient's ,and show's how u respect this kind of craft'smanship and it bring's me back to the memories of my father .good work man and "god bless"
Absolutely Incredible. You're a true craftsman.
Chris, this is one of the most beautiful workbenches I've ever seen....it could be a kitchen island in a nice restaurant! Wow! The cinematography is really stand out too! 100k will be coming quick :)
Thanks Mike, I really appreciate that coming from you! Cheers to both of us reaching that major goal soon!!!!
I'll drink to that!
@@modustrial how was the drink ?
@@ThirdCoastCraftsman So I'm getting into wood working and would like to make a work bench that suits my beginner needs and that I can build successfully myself... Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. I am basically a novice although I have some limited experience installing moulding (crown moulding, baseboards, casings, etc.) and tinkering around with some other projects but never actually learned how to work with wood properly or formally. Thank you and God bless.
Man! This video makes me want to dust off my shop and tools and finally make my bench. I’ve gotten so busy with work I’ve lost my joy. Woodworking and blacksmithing. It’s time to get my joy back and start doing what I love again and maybe finally start making videos! That bench is beautiful and you do some amazing work. Heck I may even get back to restoring old planes again. I have a lot I have restored but I have a pile of them that have been sitting and waiting for some love! Great video you have me hooked!
Awesome customer service at Johnson's Work bench and excellent price. I purchased 432 board feet 8/4 hard maple with one rip edge and plane 2 surfaces. Ordered Thursday late afternoon, and was delivered to my shop (Grand Rapids Michigan) 16 hours later on Friday morning at 8 am.
One of the best bench builds on UA-cam.
Thanks man! Much appreciated!!!
Pretty awesome build. I’ve been watching every workbench build video I can find, and this one has so many great features. You don’t really need to install vises right away with the clamping capabilities built into. Really nice bench!
WoW.
I think this is probably the most beautiful workbench I have ever seen.
And your tools are just ... orgasmic.
Love it!
The ease with which you explain projects, coupled with your immense skills, makes for a very pleasant viewing experience. The best compliment I can provide, with the understanding that I am in no way a skilled craftsman, is that you are the heir-apparent to Norm Abram. Your videos are just as engaging, and the end-products never disappoint. I have officially subscribed to your channel. More please!
That was flippin’ awesome. I love the joinery and the use of hand planes and chisels. Not so much the spray paint.
First time watcher. Will check out plans. I need a new work bench.
Chris, you are truly an amazing craftsman. A true craftsman that works with hand tools and makes it look easy. So glad to see this type of woodworking ISN'T a lost art. The most beautiful workbench I've ever seen. Great video production too. (Standing ovation over here.) 👏
Man, I’m blown away. What true craftsmanship and in a normal man’s garage! Great job!
In this world of CNC becoming more present, seing your dedication, craftmmship and most of all your passion makes me appreciate your work endlessly more! Something that a CNC can never accomplish! Beautiful bench! I’m lost for words. AWESOME! and I also subscribed! How can I not? 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
If that beautiful bench was mine , I would love to see the natural look of the Maple . A couple of coats of Tung Oil. That is a beautiful thing. Very good wood worker, craftsman.
Hey, man. I'm wanting to start my own woodworking and blacksmithing weekend business, and I've gotta say, your videos are very helpful and inspiring! Thanks for putting them out there, and keep up the awesome work!
Beautiful craftsmanship. Relaxing to watch. Wish I had the time in my life to create such a work or art.
One of the most enjoyable videos, even seen on UA-cam.
You are real master and I enjoy every second of this video.
This was inspiring, I would love to learn woodworking!
I really enjoyed those woodworking montages. Very relaxing. Great job on the editing
Dude! Killer! Thanks for working so hard to put these videos together for us, I am learning so much!
Most maker vids are sped up and suits me just fine. This vid is slowed down and it is refreshingly different watching the slow process gives a more realistic look at how much detail and time goes into woodwork. Well done!
Wow. Seeing the care you take in the smallest details...It's like watching a master artist. Beautiful work.
Nice to see an actual Carpenter using hand tools just as much as power tools...A lost skill in these days of speed and mass production! Takes me back to my days as an Apprentice! Awesome!!!
Amazing video Chris, I'm inspired by the talent and precision you have with woodworking. This is the second video I've watched of yours (definitely not the last), just subscribed.
Cheers! Samantha from Canada
Just started this bench project with my Dad today. Been sitting on the plans for 3 years now but am finally in a position to build. Super keen to have a big project that I can learn a lot on
Thanks Chris for an awesome workbench video !
I'm 75 so this will be a daunting challenge for me. I will order your plans and get some woodworking friends to give me a hand.
Not many people would be able to execute this....You are amazing - a true craftsman. Love the workshop and your care of your tools. Congratulations.
Not even halfway through and it's so clear how much care went into every step of this - the bench and the video. Well done!
Here's a huge collection of woodworking plans: *WoodPlan. info*
Absolutely awesome! This is the coolest workbench I’ve ever seen! Was searching the Internet for the best plans for one, but I don’t need to look any farther.
You built the perfect work bench well beyond the scope of what a work bench is and it's beautiful. It's like a piece of furniture you could put in your kitchen as an island of sorts.
Leveling feet would be a great addition. Garage floors are sloped: adjustable feet as well as a rolling capability option to move it around or outside would be ideal.
It was an education and a pleasure watching a professional like you doing his work. I was amazed at some of the tools you used as well as the precision you put into making that workbench. Thank you for the inspiration!
perhaps one of the best designed and workbench that can probably last forever! Marvelous job man!
This was incredible. Amazing design but the cinema shots were on point! As someone who appreciates wood craft and camera craft, this was very pleasing!
The dog mean-mugging the camera for the last bit sold me on everything. Bravo, sir.

That cool doggie's Moma didn't raise no fool ...
As an amateur with woodworker, I typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement. Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness [Link Here== *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . I now work like a genius. That is great!?
First time watching one of your videos and I must say, it was very impressive. Loved the build. Great work and super nice finished product. Inspiring actually. It is amazing to think of the number of projects that bench will see in its lifetime. You better start now thinking about who you want to leave it to because that thing will be functional for a very long time. Congratulations on a great design and thanks for sharing.
Chris, love the bench! It's very similar to the one I'm building right now. I've tried to stay very traditional, using only hand tools, but I've had places where the band saw and the drill press were vital. Putting on a leg vise with a wooden screw and the CrissCross 14 from Benchcrafted to support the lower part of the chop. Unfortunately, work came to a screeching halt yesterday when I broke the end of my thumb. Using all construction grade wood, as I couldn't afford the hardwood for the top. Been fighting a twist the whole time. Legs and stretchers are almost done, then maybe I'll get it up on its feet and get the upper surface finished. Really enjoying the videos. They're helping me out a lot.
Your videos are incredibly well produced. I wish I had your skill to make these beautiful pieces of furniture. Well done.
Great Video Man! That work bench is amazing and not to mention your tools/shop/garage! I lived about an hour from Johnsons Work Bench and they always had the best exotic lumber for accenting different projects for me work. I build a lot of kitchen equipment from cutting boards to pizza peels. I am saddened I don't live in GR anymore as my work relocated me to MA but I have great memories of my Grandfather and I going there. You brought it all back for me. Thanks!
So great to see him caring for the tools
Caring? he practically inserted them.
I recently bought a inexpensive miter saw and built a new table for my Big Green Egg. Now I want to build a workbench for the garage and came across this video.
Wow. I recall watching PBS shows like This Old House and the New Yankee Workshop with Norm Abram, as well as the Woodsmith Shop back in the day, but Chris Schoenberg just blew my mind with his video!
Fantastic ..... I compliment you on your many skills, especially the use of the plane's. You have inspired me to get out my two old wood planes, clean them up and reteach myself the art of using them correctly ..... bravo!
Very beautiful, keep going, your work is outstanding and solid
Really PERFECT 👍👍👍
Great “cinematography”! Chapeau!! The detail in the B-roll tells it all. Rare quality! Thanks!
Jeez, the precision and multiple woodworking skills and technique is on another level! I wont build my bench like this, but something that will last and do the job. Your craft is beautiful!
BEAUTIFUL, I wish I had the space to use such a workbench and even make it. Very Great JOB

Thank you for this informative and inspiring video - your hard work is much appreciated! We're currently planning a bigger garage so I can have a larger woodworking space and a bench just like this will become the centrepiece. I really can't wait to get started - probably around this time next year. Cheers and thanks from Sydney, Australia - Dave
I'm form Mexico. I am so satisfied to have seen this video and the perfect way to do it that there is certainly no other work bench as useful and well done as this one, really, is amaizing. Congratulations, I hope to do something similar
Hello Chris, i am an Australian carpenter, builder. I just watched your making of a carpenters bench top video, very inspiring. Your a brilliant carpenter, tradesman. I wish I had the space and factory to make one of these with my now 2nd yr apprentice. People just don’t know how to or use hand tools these days. Great work Chris, fantastic.
Wow, just amazing. I watched every 2nd like I was going to build this tomorrow. Then i stapled my finger to the plans I printed out. I think I'm going to start with house training my dog. Great video
This cracked me up... the full range of emotions watching this - excited, motivated & finally realistic.
I have never seen someone shorten the word “second” to 2nd
@@youflunkeddaycare you have, if someone says second place in a race, just not second as in time 😉
You can go ahead and ship that to my shop...thanks!
I’ll throw it in my mailbox with a stamp on it and see if the mailman grabs it lol
The Nicholson’s would growl ! And then you would have to bring in the “bench whisperer” to separate 😁
I really enjoy both of your channels more than any I follow, you both are very talented, you see thru the project before a fiber is cut and mostly because you both have a humbleness about you. And,,,you both put your”boots”on to go to work ! I wish you both continued success
I, too, enjoy both of your channels for the same reasons.
I'd like to see the mailbox you build to throw this in :D
This video blew my mind. Excellent composition, very interesting and what a great idea to create wood packages with your local store.
A great desk with great features. This table can be very helpful for any professional and carpentry enthusiast. Thanks for sharing this tutorial video.
The wood itself is beautiful! Looks like maple but seems to plane more like beech. The build is incredible - perhaps you have a part time job as a timber framer because you sure have the skill set. I watched the vid at work with the sound off and still loved it. Thanks for sharing and for your commitment to your craft.
Good to see one of these videos using hand tools. Also, great to see some older tools. My grandfather was a carriage builder and had a lot of these tools from the late 1800s. Two tools he didn't have were: mallet and straight edge/ruler. He only ever used his hands to drive the chisels and could eyeball measurements and straight lines. A true artisan. He is missed.
You have 100% the best videography I've yet seen on UA-cam. I'm just beginning woodworking, man I'd love to apprentice with someone.
For the love of the craft! So much done by hand, this is a great video! And awesome bench!
You my friend are not just a craftsman! You are an artist! Thank you for sharing your art with us!
Sir, this is simply fantastic. As an amateur woodworker, this gives me inspiration to attempt something like this.
For a person who cut his tenons so clean n precise say alot about his work ethic😍
One of the most awesome workbench witness, watching your work is so amazing so much love you put in, explaining details by the way vise clamps superb good luck and God bless.
Dude, I'm aspiring carpenter. I even geeked out on the part where you were sharpening the planer blades. Lol. Thanks for posting such incredible content!
welcome the family. yeah, when you start searching out blade sharpening videos, it's time to seek professional help. there are weekly meetings for those with this affliction; we used to meet at Rocklers, but, now we zoom.... ;-) seriously, I know what you mean. as an aspiring wood worker, I get it....
@@just-dl it's my asmr
Amazing work, I'm lost for words... definitely earned another subscriber :)
Just watched this video for the second time. The first time was approximately 15 minutes ago. It’s not what I need for my shed but it’s a thing of beauty.
Excellent craftsmanship! I shed a tear when you used screws though, I was amazed at the use of the wood dowel pins. Great work!
You know you are a badass when you can spray paint over that level of detail...awesome build man
What a beautiful dog you carved there, it almost looks like it can breathe!
This video was weirdly satisfying to watch. I very much enjoyed all the different techniques with all the hand tools vs power tools.
I am forever impressed by your mastery of your craft. Well done good sir!
I didn't sleep three nights after this video. Thanks for your job!
lol thats hilarious! totally get it
You're not a woodworker. You're an artist. Such beautiful work!
Besides your work being outstanding, your videos are over the top fantastic!!!! Drinking coffee while watching and learning is a treat!
Wow what a fantastic design and video style. Rarely do you get informative and relaxing in the same video.
Great skills too.
All the best from the uk

I'm late to the party on this, but I'll say it anyway. This is a great video! We are definitely sharing it on out social media!
Emmy Braxtly
Awesome build and awesome editing skills Chris! Keep it up man and keep at it!
Nicely shot. The country ballad slow-mo’s are hysterical!
If I owned that it would be the nicest thing in my entire house, let alone workshop.
hahahaha
Holy cow. I feel a little intimidated. Everything is so clean and looks too perfect. Props to the cameraman and the guy who edited this video. Can you teach me woodworking please. 😅
totally get the feeling dude. I felt the same watching his trestle table build. All I can say is its a learning curve and its ok to enjoy and learn from his vids but dont let that stop you from getting into it and enjoying woodworking on a much lower level, lol. Thats where I am !
He already is teaching you woodworking
Who ever does your videography and story boarding for this did an awesome job! Music and all just fantastic! Also the bench is amazing!
That’s a stunningly beautiful bench. Too nice for me to do woodworking on. I’d use it as a kitchen island where I could polish it daily and admire it constantly.
Being new to dust collector stuff, I loved that you added some good shots of dust collector porn in the video. Thanks!
Great bench. It would be great if you did a video on the bench features and when you use the Roubo v Nicholson features.
Can you estimate how many hours it took you to build this bench?
I plan on making a video like that. Prolly 40-80 hrs. Not sure exactly. its hard to gauge because of all the extra time it takes for filming
Great somebody using hand tools very rare on utube, I was taught in furniture making school that a good workbench is the most important tool you could have, regards
Absolutely amazing. I enjoyed watching every bit of this video. I'm very inspired by the work and quality you display. keep it up brother.
This guy is the real deal. No over-reliande on power tools/machines. Inspires me to be the kind of woodmaker I want to be
