Lol! This is crazy. @Lincolnstww commenting on this video! Huge fan! For realz. Who the hell are you? Tell me you son if a b***h!! Seriously. Lol. Great video. Absolutely stellar.
Ha, not sure about either or those, as there are far better out there than me, but I really appreciate your comment and your encouraging words, thank you so much for that!
I hope you keep making more videos they are very entertaining, with good designs, and your stop motion is something unique from normal woodworking videos. It’s a nice change.
Hi there Michael Thanks for the encouragement to keep going! It means a lot for me to hear and read your comment! I'm neck deep in life at the moment, but i cant wait to get back to making more videos soon. Nice to hear you enjoy the stop motion 👍 it is fun for me too! Thanks again Michael!
Instant subscription!! Found myself screaming several dozen times in OCD pleasure at your accuracy, editing, musical choices, and storytelling. SPOT ON
Hey PeakCentury I must say I am loving your comment! It is Just so great for me to read and I'm thankful that you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for the support! Paul
Hey Rod! You watched this even though you have no need for it? This really sticks in my head and I'm pretty grateful for this bud! Thank you so much! Cheers Paul
The amount of work in this video is crazy! Every second was very entertaining and informative! I'm new to woodworking and people like you inspire me to get so much better! Thank you and please make more videos like this!
Hey there JrSanchez, it's awesome to hear you are getting into woodworking! I wish you all the best on your woodworking journey and its special to hear you were inspired by my video. Thanks for that bud! All the best to you ⭐
This is absolutely amazing. I have minimal tools (multi-use drill and some saws) and an expensive mortgage, so my plan is to build a woodworking nook. Im saving this for when I get a router! Thank you, Paul! Cannot wait to see what you build and share next!
Thanks so much and I'm glad you found inspiration in the build! I'm also looking forward to starting videos again in 2025, until then... Happy building mate!
Wow Alen, not sure about the 1M but thanks so much for the encouragement to keep trying! It does take me a while, hopefully I'll get faster at it and again, thanks so much! All the best to you
Your videos are equally engaging and educational. With the professional quality of editing you apply, you're like the Steven Speilberg of woodworking videos! I'm looking forward to seeing more. Cheers from a fellow BC westcoaster.
Wow, I'm touch you though my video was art my friend. Thank you for such a compliment and I'm looking forward to sharing more with you! All the best! Paul
Wow, why haven't you come up on my feed before. Probably the best 25 minutes I've spent in quite a while. Not sure what impressed me more your woodworking skills or video editing ones. Earned a like and a sub. Also very heart-warming watching you work with your dad. Cherish those moments with your mum and dad, make as many memories as you, because once there gone their gone, sadly I know from experience. A big hello from Spain.
Hi Frank, you made it to the end of my video! Thank you so much for my smile that I'm wearing now :) That means a lot to me. I greatly appreciate your comments, especially about our mom's and dad's and your experience. I get to see them again in 4 days time and really looking forward to it. Thanks for the like and the sub my friend, all the way from Beautiful Spain! Cheers from a sunny and bit of a rainy morning here on Vancouver Island. Paul
Wow! Hi John, and thank you for stopping in! and I'm thrilled that you enjoy my editing and story! That really means a lot to me. I just checkout out your channel! I love it! Amazing tips and tricks you share, I'm now subscribed! I'lll be stopping in to say hi and learn some of your skills! Cheers John, all the best to you!
What an amazing work bench and even more incredible video. You are a very talented man! So glad I came across this video in my search of ways to make this same set-up.. Thank you!
Hey Ivan that is really kind of you to say and thank you so much for choosing my workbench plan! If you ever have any questions please don't hesitate to ask 👍 and I'm happy to help! Just send me an email to vanislandstudio@gmail.com. I wish you the best of luck and hope you enjoy building your workbench! Paul
Absolutely brilliant. Your attention to detail and design are beyond next level. My OCD can rest easy. I’ve found the woodworking Yoda. I can’t wait to get through your back catalogue. Thank you 👍
Ha Your OCD resting now and the woodworking Yoda really made me laugh! That's awesome and makes me want to do more.Than you so much and Thanks for your support!
I gotta learn that snap trick at 11:05. In all my years of projects I haven't been able to do that one. Crazy how fast it makes things come together. I don't understand why people you didn't use that trick every time.
Amazing video, storytelling, cinematography and music. Always watch all videos at 2x, but had to do 1x for the music. Btw, using headphones and that sound when going down the ladder at 2:43 freaked me out, sounded like in my room, some unintended binaural effect.
Thank for stopping in and for viewing at 1X! Thats so awesome to hear and the ladder... It stopped me when I was editing! Just sounded different to me too lol and pretty cool you commented on it! Thanks again and all the best to you
Reading this sure brought a smile to my face! Its very encouraging to hear and thank you so much for that. Looking forward to sharing more with you, Cheers!
Been watching different woodworking channels for a while now and I have some favorites, and I still love them as well. I have to say though, this is the first video of yours I have seen and the editing is off the charts. Great video and I hope to see more, I am now SUBSCRIBED!
I also have my favourite channels that I love, and there are a lot out there, and I am thankful that my video found its way to you and even more so that you happened to enjoy it! I'm looking forward to sharing more with you and I greatly appreciate your comment and your support! All the best to you, Paul
So glad I saw someone put the miter saw on the right end of the table! Every video I've seen has it on the left, which doesn't make sense for a right hander cutting a long board. Hopefully I get the time to make one of these myself. Beautiful details!!
I put it on that side, because like you mentioned Ben, I like to control the saw with my dominant hand (right), making it easy for me to see the cut, and hold the piece in place with my left hand, providing the maximum for cutting a long board. Thanks for noticing by brother! All the best to you
A Gem! Ha :) Thank you so much for your comment Evan! That made me smile this morning and I appreciate your encouragement to keep at it! All the best to you!
Apart from making me insanely envious, as to the skill shown both in design and display of craftmanship and of workshop and all its contents tool wise and space. I was immensely entertained. We lesser mortals can but look on in admiration, and continue to dream. Take care and be happy brother. Greetings from the UK.
Hello Norman from the UK :) A BIG Thank you for your kind comment and I'm thrilled you were entertained by my video. Thanks for the inspiration to keep dreaming all the way from Vancouver Canada :)
Ha! I wish I knew were I could find a replacement too Jaime, it came with Anna when we got married, I think her grandma sent it over from Japan when she was a wee tot! All the best to you!
Hey there, I recently purchased a router lift to install opposite the miter saw, just have to get time to put it in now, Great suggestion and thanks for stopping in!
I just made one of these last week took me a week or so to build.. has my miter, table saw and planer all built into it. Very identical build. Mine looks like I bought it from Walmart compared to this.. Amazing detail and perfection. When IM mid project and get flustered I need to keep your skill in mind! Awesome.
Way to go for making your own workbench! and with a built in planer to boot. I think that is a fantastic and creative Idea! I get flustered all the time, you are not alone on that my friend. All the best to you!
Hey Jimsy! Yes sir, I feel lucky to have learned from one of the best, we just spent the weekend building some simple shelves together, it was so awesome and thanks for appreciating him ❤
Hi VanIsle Studio, Out of curiosity, have you made any progress on this build ? I can't wait to see more of it, it is outstanding and I do hope you incorporate more tools into it to make it the ultimate workbench. A thickness planer that would use the entire workbench as an infeed and outfeed would be great, and also, a jointer that would do the same, with possibly a removable "top" to make up for the difference in thickness (workbench's top would be the jointer's outfeed height). Would also LOVE to see them being built in a mechanism that allows for easy lift/lower of the tools (idea: scissor lift-like mechanism)
Hi There, I've been inundated with house chores lately...doors, windows, roof..etc but.. I did purchase a router lift, only to realize Its the wrong size for my router Ha! I love your ideas, thickness planer, jointer, scissor lift! Sheesh you've given me a lot to think about! Thanks so much for sharing your ideas with me! Now I've got to get to working on it! Cheers
wow, thank you verry much! At the beginning of your video, i felt bad…at the end, i have had a big smile on my face and into my heart ♥️ you are genious! Greatings from Germany
Hey Esmeralda from Germany! It is so nice to hear from you and thank you for your kind words. I'm so happy to share a smile of the heart with you! Thank you for this! Paul
Ha John! I enjoyed reading your comment mate :) "Before the cut" is my favourite part too! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for stopping in and all the best to you!
Came here because Lincoln Street sent me. The video quality here is insane for such a small channel. Instant sub! We will watch your career with great interest!
Hey Alex, that was incredible of Jon from Lincoln St and thanks so much for stopping in and for the sub! I'm looking forward to sharing more with you. All the best to you!
Everyone loves to brag about how great the parents, family, and friends are. And here I sit, alone, and forgotten by literally everyone....on my 40th birthday.
I'm pretty happy it found you too brother! I just checked out Franks site and immediately subscribed. Nice David Clarks BTW :) All the best to you! and thanks so much again! Paul
I don’t see a link to the pencil sharpener in your links! I so need one of those in my shop! Nice job on the bench and the video. I can appreciate the level of time that went into both. Thanks for the smiles.
I made a bench similar to this based on someone else's plans, and lemme tell ya, it's nowhere NEAR as amazing as yours. Wow. I'm blown away. Now I have to rip mine all up and start over, because this is definitely next level!! Congrats!
Hey Markus, Hope you enjoyed the process of building your own workbench mate! and good on ya for tackling such a task 👍 and thanks you so much for your kind compliment. If you were really going to build another one, or have any questions, always happy to chat vanislandstudio@gmail.com All the best to you Markus, Paul
this is amazing for so many reasons; the craftsmanship, the engineering and the quality description - not to mention the amazing video work!! you need more subs!!
Hey Brian I greatly appreciate the vote of confidence and thanks so much for your kind comments. Looking forward to growing my channel and sharing more with you :) All the best mate!
Feel like an addict, can't stop watching, someone call 911, holy 5h*t this is top notch in every way, great job, simply amazing, you are truly talented! You have my subscription and thumbs up!
Hi there Wow are you sure it was my video that you watched? There's a lot of talent out there, so... Thanks so much for the encouragement to keep at it! I really appreciate your comment! All the best to you and I'm looking forward to learning more / sharing more with you. Cheers, Paul
I watched a lot of videos about this but none of the other guys has so much attention to the possibility to adjusting everything. Apart of this I really like your way of making videos. Great stuf!
That was amazingly well edited, filmed and all around created. The build itself is so cool and like I said the video itself was a work of art IMO. I don't see how you only have 11k subscribers. Ill add one more now :)
Hey ShortysCreativeCorner I like your name! Thank you so much for your encouragement! It means a lot to me and I really appreciate your sub :) All the best to you and I'm looking forward to creating more for you, Cheers Paul
Holy cow, this video was captivating from beginning to end. Just enough editing to keep things engaging, but not too much to distract. Also.. those level-slide shots short-circuited my brain and I had to watch them a few times.
Hey I appreciate hearing your feedback and thank you for your thoughtful and encouraging comment 👍 Glad you enjoyed some of the video shots in there too! Cheers mate
Hey Brandon! Nice to hear from you, I actually did make a planer sled out of plywood, but I found that the plywood had a slight warp in it over time and use, so... I don't know, maybe I'll eventually purchase a jointer, but not any time soon. Thanks for stopping in and saying hi bud! Cheers!
A wonderful example of something I will never achieve. Your video production skills are up there with your woodworking abilities. If only I had a workbench and a dad and wife willing to help.
Hey my friend, glad to hear you enjoyed the production, I'm a late bloomer by the way, didn't know what the heck I was doing for most of my life and just starting to pull it together past 7 or so years. Wishing you all the best, Paul
Good grief man, this is inspiring! Your dad raised quite a creative son! Amazing work. Can I ask what camera you're shooting with? I'm guessing something over 4K based on the quality of your pan & scan shots. Maybe a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 6K?
Hi Troy, I think that is awesome and humbling that you found my video inspiring. Thank you so much for that! It means a lot for me to read your comment, and I love spending all the time I can with my folks. I use Go Pro , Sony A7III with Sigma F1.4 35mm lens, and all those smooth shots came from my new iPhone. If I move quickly with the phone, it appears smoother when slowed down in Final Cut. But when you slow down a clip, you miss frames, so, final cut has a feature called "Optical flow" that fills in those missing frames. That's what makes the clip appear so smooth. All the best Troy!
Immediate subscription! Good job on the thumbnail too. If it hadn’t been for that I probably wouldn’t have clicked, and would have missed out big time.
Hey Trev! I appreciate you commenting on the thumbnail. Even more so that you clicked on it! I though why not take a chance and try something I've not tried yet and... here we are chatting away now. Thanks so much for stopping in and for your support! Cheers Paul
Ha! Glad you enjoyed the production and woodworking, I'm not sure, but definitely projects involving wood I'd say, I really have no idea what I'm doing with the editing or camera, just having some fun learning and hope to start on a new project soon after a summer of roof and windows and builds elsewhere. Cheers and thanks agian!
"Its all in the details" is what my father said growing up. Not sure I'm a craftsman yet, but learning more every day, and thanks so much for the encouragement Scott! Its appreciated 👍
7:36 hate to be one of those UA-cam commenters that give ideas on subjects with limited hands on experience, but without a riving knife, this cut makes me nervous. Your hands are between the fence and the saw so any kick back will rotate them into the saw as you finish the cut. A lot of people that joint on their table saw build a simple jointing sled which allows them to clamp the wood down and keep their hands away from the blade. Might be a good next project. Awesome video by the way
Hey Bruce thanks so much for your comment and looking out for my safety! I'll keep your thoughts in mind for the next time I need to do a cut like that, I like your jointing sled idea! Thanks for stopping in and leaving me your comment!
I second that one comment, who the hell are you and why haven’t I seen you before? Your content is really good! And good for you for not gluing your first bench
You noticed that I did not use glue Tim, not to many comment on that. I guess its from watching my dad. He always told me you never know if or when you will need to toke something apart. All the best to you mate and thanks for stopping in!
In the "middle" of the Workbench build (the plans are truly amazing)... but I'm modifying it heavily to incorporate a planer and jointer and two sections of the table top will be removable (the jointer and planer are on jacks... jointer is on a motorcycle lift and planer is on scissor jack)... the length I'm extending to 11'4" and to compensate for the added weight I'm using 2x6 instead of 2x4 but your plans are pretty darn easy to modify because they are so freaking good to begin with. I say all that so that if someone actually reads this they will know that they should not hesitated for an instant to purchase your plans. THANK YOU!!! for the tremendous amount of work you did on them.
Hey Mike I really enjoy reading about the details and modifications you are making. Some amazing ideas you have there and that is going to be one heck of workbench!! I greatly appreciate the time you took to leave your comment and that you found my plans easy to understand and follow. Makes me feel great bud! All the best to you and a big THANK YOU Again for your time and reply here, Cheers! Paul
Come for the amazing woodworking projects....stay for the insane production quality!! The lighting, the music selection*, a team of robot assistants to assist while your a lunch! Is all the concept, post production and editing being done by you? Thank you very entertaining and informative! Bravo!!! *(the music choices are stellar!)
Thanks Bernard, its just me trying to figure out all this stuff and having fun along the way 👍 Really great to hear you enjoyed my video ❤️ All the best to Bernard
Thanks Laura! The power cord for the miter saw goes through the rotating shelf at the back. There is a space for the power cord and the suction hose to pass through. Thanks for your question :) Cheers
Fantastic bench, well done. Your production quality and weirdness is a pleasure to watch. Us woodworkers are truly obsessed with accuracy but you take it to a whole new scary level. 😺
Thanks awesome you enjoyed it and thanks for that Tom! I think I got that way from watching my dad build some guitars when I was a kid :) Cheers Mate and thanks for stopping in!
Sure was glad to see the pencil sharpener is still around. I also hope that you have more blue pencils that one is getting short. I think it is fare to say you have the best editing skills of any woodworking UA-cam videos. Makes me wonder if you do it professionally? Other than all of that very skilled and dedicated to perfecting projects you work on. Glad dad was there to help you out a bit. Thanks for sharing
Hi jjamontan, I enjoyed reading your comment, especially regarding my dad, without him or my mom, there's no me. So thanks so much for checking out my video and posting your comment. It means a lot to me and I'm happy you enjoyed it! Oh, btw, I'm by no means a professional regarding the editing, but cool you wondered about it :) Thanks again jjamontan! Cheers Paul
Not everyone shares you thoughts on the music lol , so thanks for letting me know Stephen, that you enjoyed the songs and the edits 😄 Wishing you all the best
This is by FAR my favorite workbench build video. Great content. Both useful and entertaining. I can tell you put your soul into this. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Kevin it took a wee bit of time on my end lol, and I'm thankful you enjoyed my build video! and it's my pleasure sharing it with you. Wishing you all the best!
Watched the complete video with my 7-year-old son. We really enjoyed your well edited video and we planned making a similar table for us. Thank you for the inspiration!
Well that brought a smile to my face knowing your 7-year old was entertained, So awesome mate! Thanks for that and I wish you best of luck on your table build
Ha thanks for that Denis! You are too kind mate. Too bad they took shop class out of high schools! One of my favorite classes back in the day. All the best to you 👍
Wow Paul! Fellow Canadian here (...wish I lived on the West Coast). That is without a doubt the best made, best conceived, best produced, best scripted, best narrated woodworking full length feature film I've ever seen. Totally mind-blowing quality. I can't imagine the number of hours it took to put it all together. Out of curiosity, just how many hours did it take?
Thank you for such a kind compliment and I'm thrilled you enjoyed my video! Somewhere around about 4 1/2 months, way to long lol and I hope to get faster at it the more I do. Thanks so much again my fellow Canadian eh!! :)
I'm very grateful to hear you enjoyed watching my video! Thanks so much for that and for stopping in to let me know! All the best to you and I'm looking forward to sharing more soon! Cheers Paul
Your and Artist, the video, effects, music, props, and project. I Absolutely love this video, thank you for the instruction and entertainment, I'm already looking forward to the next video.
who the hell are you!? this is silly good
😮
Lol! This is crazy. @Lincolnstww commenting on this video! Huge fan!
For realz. Who the hell are you? Tell me you son if a b***h!! Seriously. Lol. Great video. Absolutely stellar.
Agreed!@@Garybologne3237
He definitely raised the bar for video editing and camera work. Well done. Now...to find some toy robots!
He said his name is Paul.
So you’re a cinematographer and craftsmen. Got it, well you’ll have 1m subs soon. This video is amazing!
Ha, not sure about either or those, as there are far better out there than me, but I really appreciate your comment and your encouraging words, thank you so much for that!
@@vanislestudio There will always be someone better, but I have not seen them yet. This video is a masterpiece. Nice work. 🤖
Overall an awesome video - camera shots, audio, lighting, editing, visual effects, instructions - all top notch.
Hi Rob I'm glad you enjoyed the video mate! and thank you for your encouraging comment. All the best to you!
Sometimes the UA-cam algorithm gets it spot on! I’m impressed…with your work.
I'm absolutely grateful that the "algorithm" found you David! All the best to you!
That leveling is exquisite. The flex of that level slide across the miter saw was perfect.
Ha! that was enjoyable for me to video, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it too 👍 All the best to you!
This is an “I was here” comment for posterity, when this guy had less than 9,000 subscribers. I’m guessing that number is about to rise exponentially.
Thank you for your encouraging words my friend, that made me smile and means a lot to me. All the Best!
Absolutely brilliant design, craftsmanship and video editing skills. It’s criminal you don’t have a million subs. Well done sir!
I appreciate your vote of confidence on the billion subs my friend so thanks a lot for that sunshine you gave me. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Cheers Paul
I hope you keep making more videos they are very entertaining, with good designs, and your stop motion is something unique from normal woodworking videos. It’s a nice change.
Hi there Michael Thanks for the encouragement to keep going! It means a lot for me to hear and read your comment! I'm neck deep in life at the moment, but i cant wait to get back to making more videos soon. Nice to hear you enjoy the stop motion 👍 it is fun for me too! Thanks again Michael!

this was great !
I don't know you, but I'm glad to see you spending time with your dad in a shop. Not everyone can 🙂
Can we talk about the production quality of this video?!?! The storytelling?!?!?! The elements?!?!?! Fantastic!!!!! ❤❤❤
You are too kind good sir! and thanks so much for the smile on me face just now 😁 Cheers
I don't even need a bench like this but I couldn't stop watching.
Hey Rod! You watched this even though you have no need for it? This really sticks in my head and I'm pretty grateful for this bud! Thank you so much! Cheers Paul
The editing on this was really good. We need more of creative and engaging videos like this one, not more boring woodworking builds.
Hi There, thanks so much for the encouragement! Ill try to keep learning to keep things interesting. All the best to you and thanks again!
In addition to your excellent craftsmanship and brilliant design, I really appreciate your cinematography. Well done!
Thanks Kevin, it's nice to hear you enjoy the cinematography and thank you! I'm looking forward to learning and sharing more with you.
Wow, this video should win some kind of award. Educational and entertaining. Love the music and artistry!
Well, you stopping in is a good enough award for me Jeff 👍 Thank you so much and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it. Wishing you all the best!
This video is incredible! Your video editing is just amazing as your craftsmanship.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and I'm glad you enjoyed the video Justin! Cheers

Dude, your consent is insane. I cannot imagine the number of hours and effort you put into this. Certain you will hit 1M
Wow Alen, not sure about the 1M but thanks so much for the encouragement to keep trying! It does take me a while, hopefully I'll get faster at it and again, thanks so much! All the best to you

This is not just a great woodworking video, this is art!
Wow, I'm touch you though my video was art my friend. Thank you for such a compliment and I'm looking forward to sharing more with you! All the best! Paul
You're taste in music and integration in this video is.....
Phenomenal!
Hey Rogier! Thanks so much for letting me know 😊 and its nice to hear you enjoy the music! Cheers
Content 🤯
Craftsmanship 🤯
Video production 🤯
Hey Thank you so much Joe!
Wow, why haven't you come up on my feed before. Probably the best 25 minutes I've spent in quite a while. Not sure what impressed me more your woodworking skills or video editing ones. Earned a like and a sub.

Glad you enjoyed it and thank you so much for stopping in 👍 Best wishes on your workbench coming to life mate!
This was seriously astounding work, from the video editing, to the immaculate precision and attention to detail. Please keep it coming.
Hey Alex thank you for the encouragement mate! It means a lot to me and I'm looking forward to sharing more with you :) All the best to you!
a tear of happiness rolled down my cheek when I opened the woodworking plan. I wasn't expecting perfection
Hey Ivan that is really kind of you to say and thank you so much for choosing my workbench plan! If you ever have any questions please don't hesitate to ask 👍 and I'm happy to help! Just send me an email to vanislandstudio@gmail.com. I wish you the best of luck and hope you enjoy building your workbench! Paul
Absolutely brilliant. Your attention to detail and design are beyond next level.
My OCD can rest easy. I’ve found the woodworking Yoda.
I can’t wait to get through your back catalogue.
Thank you 👍
Ha Your OCD resting now and the woodworking Yoda really made me laugh! That's awesome and makes me want to do more.Than you so much and Thanks for your support!
This is one of the best combination/integrated workbenches I've seen. A very no-nonsense bench at decent size for smaller workshops. Hats off, sir!
Hi Joseph, I really appreciate your comment, thank you so much for that!
I enjoyed watching this immensely. Your attention to detail is to be commended!
That's great to hear Chappell and I'm glad you enjoyed watching my video! Thank you
This video has better production and storytelling than some movies I’ve seen recently. Absolutely amazing work man!
Hey Derek I really appreciate your feedback. It's comments like yours that help to keep at it, all the best to you!
Definitely a Canadian ! Who else would use a Robertson screwdriver as a pointer ? Very interesting project ! Thnx !
Hey you noticed the Robertson!! Keen eye sir! and that made me smile :) I'm Glad it held your interest and thanks again!
Not only do you have mad woodworking skills, you have amazing video skills and an incredible imagination.
Thank you Tom! I still make lots of mistakes, but enjoy the process of learning new things and sharing them with you! Thanks for stopping in :)
I gotta learn that snap trick at 11:05. In all my years of projects I haven't been able to do that one. Crazy how fast it makes things come together. I don't understand why people you didn't use that trick every time.
Ha, yes sir, that one is a real time saver for sure :) Now to make it work for clean up as well! thanks for that my brother and all the best to you!
There's as much work in the production of this video as there is in the bench! Amazing and incredibly entertaining!
Glad you enjoyed the production and even better knowing it provided entertainment value as well 👍 Thank you so much for stopping in!
Amazing video, storytelling, cinematography and music. Always watch all videos at 2x, but had to do 1x for the music. Btw, using headphones and that sound when going down the ladder at 2:43 freaked me out, sounded like in my room, some unintended binaural effect.
Thank for stopping in and for viewing at 1X! Thats so awesome to hear and the ladder... It stopped me when I was editing! Just sounded different to me too lol and pretty cool you commented on it! Thanks again and all the best to you
This is my first video of yours and I am immediately looking for another one. This was pure entertainment.
Reading this sure brought a smile to my face! Its very encouraging to hear and thank you so much for that. Looking forward to sharing more with you, Cheers!
Been watching different woodworking channels for a while now and I have some favorites, and I still love them as well. I have to say though, this is the first video of yours I have seen and the editing is off the charts. Great video and I hope to see more, I am now SUBSCRIBED!
I also have my favourite channels that I love, and there are a lot out there, and I am thankful that my video found its way to you and even more so that you happened to enjoy it! I'm looking forward to sharing more with you and I greatly appreciate your comment and your support! All the best to you, Paul
So glad I saw someone put the miter saw on the right end of the table! Every video I've seen has it on the left, which doesn't make sense for a right hander cutting a long board. Hopefully I get the time to make one of these myself. Beautiful details!!
I put it on that side, because like you mentioned Ben, I like to control the saw with my dominant hand (right), making it easy for me to see the cut, and hold the piece in place with my left hand, providing the maximum for cutting a long board. Thanks for noticing by brother! All the best to you
“Before the cut…”. Gonna be hearing that in my dreams tonight 😂
That was a fun part to do and glad you enjoyed it William! Thanks so much for stopping in!
What a gem of YT video! Editing, music, story telling - beautiful! And - piece of work itself - also great. Keep going, thanks for enjoyable video!
A Gem! Ha :) Thank you so much for your comment Evan! That made me smile this morning and I appreciate your encouragement to keep at it! All the best to you!
Apart from making me insanely envious, as to the skill shown both in design and display of craftmanship and of workshop and all its contents tool wise and space. I was immensely entertained. We lesser mortals can but look on in admiration, and continue to dream. Take care and be happy brother. Greetings from the UK.
Hello Norman from the UK :) A BIG Thank you for your kind comment and I'm thrilled you were entertained by my video. Thanks for the inspiration to keep dreaming all the way from Vancouver Canada :)
Well this is my new favorite channel
Ha! Super thrilled you enjoyed my video mate, Thanks so much 👍
Your use of playing cards is inspirational.
Thanks mate!
I really appreciate the list of tools, but you missed one. Where can I get the cool pencil sharpener?
Ha! I wish I knew were I could find a replacement too Jaime, it came with Anna when we got married, I think her grandma sent it over from Japan when she was a wee tot! All the best to you!
I must say, impressive work. The video, the woodwork, the music... really great stuff and high quality. And thank you very much, loved it.
Hey Andrew it's my pleasure and thank you so much! Looking forward to sharing more in the future with you, Cheers!
That was amazing. A great job. I wonder if it is possible to now put a router table on the opposite side.
Hey there, I recently purchased a router lift to install opposite the miter saw, just have to get time to put it in now, Great suggestion and thanks for stopping in!
I just made one of these last week took me a week or so to build.. has my miter, table saw and planer all built into it. Very identical build. Mine looks like I bought it from Walmart compared to this.. Amazing detail and perfection. When IM mid project and get flustered I need to keep your skill in mind! Awesome.
Way to go for making your own workbench! and with a built in planer to boot. I think that is a fantastic and creative Idea! I get flustered all the time, you are not alone on that my friend. All the best to you!
Your video, sound design, and storyline are really great in this. I'd Be very proud of this work! I was thoroughly entertained. :)
Hey thank you for such encouragement! It is greatly appreciated and happy to hear you were entertained!
WOW.....your Dad sure taught some great skills. He is still with you . Terrific job.
Hey Jimsy! Yes sir, I feel lucky to have learned from one of the best, we just spent the weekend building some simple shelves together, it was so awesome and thanks for appreciating him ❤
Hi VanIsle Studio,
Out of curiosity, have you made any progress on this build ?
I can't wait to see more of it, it is outstanding and I do hope you incorporate more tools into it to make it the ultimate workbench.
A thickness planer that would use the entire workbench as an infeed and outfeed would be great, and also, a jointer that would do the same, with possibly a removable "top" to make up for the difference in thickness (workbench's top would be the jointer's outfeed height).
Would also LOVE to see them being built in a mechanism that allows for easy lift/lower of the tools (idea: scissor lift-like mechanism)
Hi There, I've been inundated with house chores lately...doors, windows, roof..etc but.. I did purchase a router lift, only to realize Its the wrong size for my router Ha! I love your ideas, thickness planer, jointer, scissor lift! Sheesh you've given me a lot to think about! Thanks so much for sharing your ideas with me! Now I've got to get to working on it! Cheers
wow, thank you verry much! At the beginning of your video, i felt bad…at the end, i have had a big smile on my face and into my heart ♥️ you are genious! Greatings from Germany
Hey Esmeralda from Germany! It is so nice to hear from you and thank you for your kind words. I'm so happy to share a smile of the heart with you! Thank you for this! Paul
You should make yourself a planer sled. This would allow you to use the planer as a jointer.
Hey thanks for the suggestion! Now I just need the time to build one for the shop :) I could use it! Thanks so much for stopping in! Cheers
"Before the cut" music,as well as the engineering, is why I am watching this for the fourth time. I bet tomorrow will be the fifth.
Ha John! I enjoyed reading your comment mate :) "Before the cut" is my favourite part too! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for stopping in and all the best to you!
Came here because Lincoln Street sent me. The video quality here is insane for such a small channel. Instant sub! We will watch your career with great interest!
Hey Alex, that was incredible of Jon from Lincoln St and thanks so much for stopping in and for the sub! I'm looking forward to sharing more with you. All the best to you!
Before the Cut and Rotating shelf had me tranced out and I didn't even toke up before this. amazing.
Ha, thanks for that! I enjoyed your comment 👍 Cheers "Bud" 😉
Everyone loves to brag about how great the parents, family, and friends are. And here I sit, alone, and forgotten by literally everyone....on my 40th birthday.
🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂
cool story
Hey SuperMe63! Happy 40th Birthday to you! and thanks for stopping in on your birthday! Wishing you a great year ahead and all the best to you!
Very glad the algorithm pointed me to your channel - you give off younger Frank Horvath vibes, and your video production is superb! Cheers mate!
I'm pretty happy it found you too brother! I just checked out Franks site and immediately subscribed. Nice David Clarks BTW :) All the best to you! and thanks so much again! Paul
I don’t see a link to the pencil sharpener in your links! I so need one of those in my shop! Nice job on the bench and the video. I can appreciate the level of time that went into both. Thanks for the smiles.
Nice to hear my video brought some smile your way mate! That's just amazing for me to hear. Thanks so much for your comment and all the best to you!
I made a bench similar to this based on someone else's plans, and lemme tell ya, it's nowhere NEAR as amazing as yours. Wow. I'm blown away. Now I have to rip mine all up and start over, because this is definitely next level!! Congrats!
Hey Markus, Hope you enjoyed the process of building your own workbench mate! and good on ya for tackling such a task 👍 and thanks you so much for your kind compliment. If you were really going to build another one, or have any questions, always happy to chat vanislandstudio@gmail.com All the best to you Markus, Paul
this is amazing for so many reasons; the craftsmanship, the engineering and the quality description - not to mention the amazing video work!! you need more subs!!
Hey Brian I greatly appreciate the vote of confidence and thanks so much for your kind comments. Looking forward to growing my channel and sharing more with you :) All the best mate!
Feel like an addict, can't stop watching, someone call 911, holy 5h*t this is top notch in every way, great job, simply amazing, you are truly talented! You have my subscription and thumbs up!
Hi there Wow are you sure it was my video that you watched? There's a lot of talent out there, so... Thanks so much for the encouragement to keep at it! I really appreciate your comment! All the best to you and I'm looking forward to learning more / sharing more with you. Cheers, Paul
The video production on this is above the rest. The storytelling, the music, lighting, editing. Amazing. Keep it up.
I'm glad you enjoyed my video Fredrik! and thanks so much for the encouragement to keep at it, All the best to you!
I watched a lot of videos about this but none of the other guys has so much attention to the possibility to adjusting everything. Apart of this I really like your way of making videos. Great stuf!
Glad you enjoyed the video mate! All the best to you
That was amazingly well edited, filmed and all around created. The build itself is so cool and like I said the video itself was a work of art IMO. I don't see how you only have 11k subscribers. Ill add one more now :)
Hey ShortysCreativeCorner I like your name! Thank you so much for your encouragement! It means a lot to me and I really appreciate your sub :) All the best to you and I'm looking forward to creating more for you, Cheers Paul
Holy cow, this video was captivating from beginning to end. Just enough editing to keep things engaging, but not too much to distract. Also.. those level-slide shots short-circuited my brain and I had to watch them a few times.
Hey I appreciate hearing your feedback and thank you for your thoughtful and encouraging comment 👍 Glad you enjoyed some of the video shots in there too! Cheers mate
great video! curious why not make a planer sled to face joint?
Hey Brandon! Nice to hear from you, I actually did make a planer sled out of plywood, but I found that the plywood had a slight warp in it over time and use, so... I don't know, maybe I'll eventually purchase a jointer, but not any time soon. Thanks for stopping in and saying hi bud! Cheers!
A wonderful example of something I will never achieve. Your video production skills are up there with your woodworking abilities. If only I had a workbench and a dad and wife willing to help.
Hey my friend, glad to hear you enjoyed the production, I'm a late bloomer by the way, didn't know what the heck I was doing for most of my life and just starting to pull it together past 7 or so years. Wishing you all the best, Paul
Good grief man, this is inspiring! Your dad raised quite a creative son! Amazing work. Can I ask what camera you're shooting with? I'm guessing something over 4K based on the quality of your pan & scan shots. Maybe a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 6K?
Hi Troy, I think that is awesome and humbling that you found my video inspiring. Thank you so much for that! It means a lot for me to read your comment, and I love spending all the time I can with my folks. I use Go Pro , Sony A7III with Sigma F1.4 35mm lens, and all those smooth shots came from my new iPhone. If I move quickly with the phone, it appears smoother when slowed down in Final Cut. But when you slow down a clip, you miss frames, so, final cut has a feature called "Optical flow" that fills in those missing frames. That's what makes the clip appear so smooth. All the best Troy!
Immediate subscription! Good job on the thumbnail too. If it hadn’t been for that I probably wouldn’t have clicked, and would have missed out big time.
Hey Trev! I appreciate you commenting on the thumbnail. Even more so that you clicked on it! I though why not take a chance and try something I've not tried yet and... here we are chatting away now. Thanks so much for stopping in and for your support! Cheers Paul
Also wondering if this is going to be woodworking channel or a video production channel. You have mad skills at both.
Ha! Glad you enjoyed the production and woodworking, I'm not sure, but definitely projects involving wood I'd say, I really have no idea what I'm doing with the editing or camera, just having some fun learning and hope to start on a new project soon after a summer of roof and windows and builds elsewhere. Cheers and thanks agian!
This one of the most impressive videos I have ever seen. The precision of the woodworking, video quality, etc. The level of detail is impressive.
Nice to hear you enjoyed the little details mate! Thanks so much, All the best to you 👍
With all those playing cards taped in place, is the table called, Full Deck?
Hahaha I think it's now the new name for my workbench! Full Deck :) Thanks for stopping in!
Great Job! It's nice to see a real craftsman that pays attention to detail. It does matter.
"Its all in the details" is what my father said growing up. Not sure I'm a craftsman yet, but learning more every day, and thanks so much for the encouragement Scott! Its appreciated 👍
7:36 hate to be one of those UA-cam commenters that give ideas on subjects with limited hands on experience, but without a riving knife, this cut makes me nervous. Your hands are between the fence and the saw so any kick back will rotate them into the saw as you finish the cut. A lot of people that joint on their table saw build a simple jointing sled which allows them to clamp the wood down and keep their hands away from the blade. Might be a good next project. Awesome video by the way
Hey Bruce thanks so much for your comment and looking out for my safety! I'll keep your thoughts in mind for the next time I need to do a cut like that, I like your jointing sled idea! Thanks for stopping in and leaving me your comment!
Absolutely incredible, design, function, craftsmanship, editing & the list goes on!
Hey Tyler thanks for your thoughts and nice to hear you enjoyed the build! All the best to you 👍
I don't need a workbench, and I don't need to flip a mitersaw either...but your work is amazing so I watched anyway.
Hey Rich that is just awesome to read. Thank so much for that and I really appreciate that you stopped in to check it out. All the best to you!
I’m still 40% away from finishing my work bench and you gave me good ideas. Thanks ❤️
Way to go for tackling you're own workbench! I hope it brings you great satisfaction! Thank you so much ! Cheers
I second that one comment, who the hell are you and why haven’t I seen you before? Your content is really good! And good for you for not gluing your first bench
You noticed that I did not use glue Tim, not to many comment on that. I guess its from watching my dad. He always told me you never know if or when you will need to toke something apart. All the best to you mate and thanks for stopping in!
In the "middle" of the Workbench build (the plans are truly amazing)... but I'm modifying it heavily to incorporate a planer and jointer and two sections of the table top will be removable (the jointer and planer are on jacks... jointer is on a motorcycle lift and planer is on scissor jack)... the length I'm extending to 11'4" and to compensate for the added weight I'm using 2x6 instead of 2x4 but your plans are pretty darn easy to modify because they are so freaking good to begin with. I say all that so that if someone actually reads this they will know that they should not hesitated for an instant to purchase your plans. THANK YOU!!! for the tremendous amount of work you did on them.
Hey Mike I really enjoy reading about the details and modifications you are making. Some amazing ideas you have there and that is going to be one heck of workbench!! I greatly appreciate the time you took to leave your comment and that you found my plans easy to understand and follow. Makes me feel great bud! All the best to you and a big THANK YOU Again for your time and reply here, Cheers! Paul
This edit is amazing. Awesome work.
Hey Kosh, Thank you and it means a lot that you think so! Cool videos you have BTW! Love your camera work, lighting and music! All the best!
Come for the amazing woodworking projects....stay for the insane production quality!! The lighting, the music selection*, a team of robot assistants to assist while your a lunch! Is all the concept, post production and editing being done by you? Thank you very entertaining and informative! Bravo!!! *(the music choices are stellar!)
Thanks Bernard, its just me trying to figure out all this stuff and having fun along the way 👍 Really great to hear you enjoyed my video ❤️ All the best to Bernard
Awesome!
Question- power cords?
Thanks Laura! The power cord for the miter saw goes through the rotating shelf at the back. There is a space for the power cord and the suction hose to pass through. Thanks for your question :) Cheers
Holy hell, fantastic build, great production value. LOVE the stop motion animation. This video screams care and attention to detail!
Glad you enjoyed the stop-motion animation, I had a lot of fun making it! 👍 Wishing you all the best!
Fantastic bench, well done. Your production quality and weirdness is a pleasure to watch.
Us woodworkers are truly obsessed with accuracy but you take it to a whole new scary level. 😺
Thanks awesome you enjoyed it and thanks for that Tom! I think I got that way from watching my dad build some guitars when I was a kid :) Cheers Mate and thanks for stopping in!
You had me subbed at the tone knob.
Ahhh that tone knob gets me too mate! Thanks so much for your support and for stopping in to watch my video 👍 All the best to you :)
Me too!
Sure was glad to see the pencil sharpener is still around. I also hope that you have more blue pencils that one is getting short. I think it is fare to say you have the best editing skills of any woodworking UA-cam videos. Makes me wonder if you do it professionally? Other than all of that very skilled and dedicated to perfecting projects you work on. Glad dad was there to help you out a bit. Thanks for sharing
Hi jjamontan, I enjoyed reading your comment, especially regarding my dad, without him or my mom, there's no me. So thanks so much for checking out my video and posting your comment. It means a lot to me and I'm happy you enjoyed it! Oh, btw, I'm by no means a professional regarding the editing, but cool you wondered about it :) Thanks again jjamontan! Cheers Paul
Great editing and music choices
i have to agree
Not everyone shares you thoughts on the music lol , so thanks for letting me know Stephen, that you enjoyed the songs and the edits 😄 Wishing you all the best
This is by FAR my favorite workbench build video. Great content. Both useful and entertaining. I can tell you put your soul into this. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Kevin it took a wee bit of time on my end lol, and I'm thankful you enjoyed my build video! and it's my pleasure sharing it with you. Wishing you all the best!
Seen some Philips head screws? Are you sure you're Canadian? 🤔🤔
Ahahaha, made me laugh Steve! I like the Philips too eh! :) Cheers mate, and thanks for stopping in!
Watched the complete video with my 7-year-old son. We really enjoyed your well edited video and we planned making a similar table for us. Thank you for the inspiration!
Well that brought a smile to my face knowing your 7-year old was entertained, So awesome mate! Thanks for that and I wish you best of luck on your table build
Thank you! ;)
Amazing work, epic editing, skills you’ve got there mate.
Hi Patrick from New Zealand! Thank you so much for that! I greatly appreciate you stopping in! Cheers from a sunny Vancouver morning
Never seen better woodworking skills. Congratulations! You should be teaching in trade school.
Ha thanks for that Denis! You are too kind mate. Too bad they took shop class out of high schools! One of my favorite classes back in the day. All the best to you 👍
What a great job and now I am subscribed!!!
Hey Mark thanks so much mate! Glad you stopping in and thank you for your sub ❤️
Wow Paul! Fellow Canadian here (...wish I lived on the West Coast). That is without a doubt the best made, best conceived, best produced, best scripted, best narrated woodworking full length feature film I've ever seen. Totally mind-blowing quality. I can't imagine the number of hours it took to put it all together.
Out of curiosity, just how many hours did it take?
Thank you for such a kind compliment and I'm thrilled you enjoyed my video! Somewhere around about 4 1/2 months, way to long lol and I hope to get faster at it the more I do. Thanks so much again my fellow Canadian eh!! :)
Sick video man. You just earned a new sub. Keep it up!
So awesome you thought so my friend! Thank you so much, and thanks for the encouragement to keep at it! All the best to you!
This is about the 20th time I've watched this video. Crazy. I'm really enjoying your production.
I'm very grateful to hear you enjoyed watching my video! Thanks so much for that and for stopping in to let me know! All the best to you and I'm looking forward to sharing more soon! Cheers Paul
I'm here for the pencil sharpener. Link?
I wish I could find it mate! Its from my wife's family, really old. Thanks for stopping in!
Your and Artist, the video, effects, music, props, and project. I Absolutely love this video, thank you for the instruction and entertainment, I'm already looking forward to the next video.
Hey Mike thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words! 'm glad you enjoyed my video and I'm looking forward to sharing more with you! Cheers!
