Bravo! If you work with your hands you are a laborer, with your head you are a craftsman, and with your heart, an artisan. You are definitely an artisan. Inspiring work.
Ok, right off the hop, even before I get into it (will watch later tonight) The rigid insulation on the bench while cutting your material is a great idea!
I have to say that's it's very educational watching your videos!!! Your woodworking skills are phenomenal and I learn a lot just watching and admiring your work! Thanks so much!
I watched the series as you were building the desk, this ties them all together very nicely. You are in a master class of woodworkers as well as the metalwork you do.... The way you put the patina on the copper is amazing...
Beautiful desk! Any executive should be proud to sit behind it. I like the thought that included the Inside details of the drawers. My husband and dad would have loved working with your tools. They did good work with their man power tools.
Stunningly beautiful desk that I know will be treasured. I've watched each video in this series but enjoyed this shortened recap of whole process. It was a ton of work but as always you did a fabulous job!!!
Hi....loving the well kept manicured hands.... the wood detail was wonderful. It made me so crazy everytime you're fingers got so close to you're machinery. My husband is a craftsman.... i get it but it still freaks me out ...lol.!!! Great work.!!
Originally it was for the blade guard to attach to the back of the saw. My saw is an older style when safety equipment was an after thought, so the blade guard never worked right. But now that it's been there for the last 23 years. I can't live without it It gives me a perfect spot to easily pick up the pieces off the table. There is also a trashcan under the hole. So all the little cut offs throw themselves away. 😉
Is that contact adhesive like the spray on in that it needs to be applied to both surfaces and mounted together after becoming tacky? If not, what's the open time?
Great build! I teach high school woodshop. This semester we are working on traditional mortise and tenon end tables / night stands. I've shown your videos before in class, and this one will certainly be added to my list. It's inspiring to have another great craftsman for them to be inspired by. If you're willing to share, I'd like to tell my students how long this took to make from start to finish. Thank you for your channel and the details you share,
Thank you Brian. It's a pleasure sharing the work of people who emphasize good craftsmanship like I do. Almost like having another pro backing the teacher up. Again, great work. :-)
It heartens me to hear that woodshop is still being taught. To hear Mike Rowe tell it (and make no mistake: I'm a big fan of Mr. Rowe), woodshop has been eliminated from American high schools.
22:30 couldn't you have used the same router jig you used to cut the circle to size on these "cross" bar half-laps? just adjusting the dimensions to be on the circle shape, rather than defining the circle. might have saved a bit of hand plane time and ended up with something a bit more precise and less prone to breaking from the stress of squeezing the two together.
I don't think there would be a reliable way to position the jig to cross all the pieces as precisely and to go though all the work to have it off by just a hair. That would ruin all the work I had done up to that point. With a little experience with hand tools. Using a marking knife is 100% accurate and less time consuming. Trying to find that exact spot with a router I think woi be less precise. As for it breaking, that happened after all the pieces were cut and when I was doing a test fit
Sorry it looks like that didn't make the cut. However, I used the same process as in an older video of a bench I built. The leg taper starts at 7:45 ua-cam.com/video/YHsobFSepJI/v-deo.html
I wonder what blade he uses for this. Mine is 5/8" and leaves a lot of chatter. I forget how many teeth per inch I have. ua-cam.com/video/hVkH2Ahl-yA/v-deo.html

I'm still digging that bandsaw jig!
Thank, it was a bit of a head scratcher at first, to get it to work out right.
Just Amazing, very beautiful!! Thank you for sharing!!

Great looking desk. Love the wood combination and building techniques
Hi....loving the well kept manicured hands.... the wood detail was wonderful. It made me so crazy everytime you're fingers got so close to you're machinery. My husband is a craftsman.... i get it but it still freaks me out ...lol.!!!
Great work.!!
Thanks! My favorite nail polish color is " Band-Aid"
Nice design. What would you call this style. Contemporary? A mix of modern design and old craftsmanship. A mix of craftsman style and modern design.
I'm not really sure, I suppose I'd call it a Brian Benham style.
You are crazy :O :D Awesome!
Great build, Brian. I'll bet that had some serious weight to it!
It takes some effort to move around,
This is really amazing work!
Beautiful desk Brian and great video, always learn something new from your videos but boy did my heart drop when that ring broke, great save!
Thanks man!
Awesome work, as always!
it cant be overstated how complicated some of these steps are and you make it look like no big deal. How many hours went into this build?
Thanks! I'm not sure of the total hours, but it was in the shop for 5 weeks.
Awesome overview! Also I appreciate the progress videos as well. Great work!
32:44 that just damn near blew my mind! Did you come up with this on your own?
Thanks, yes for the most part. However, the general idea of this type of jig, has been used since the invention of the band saw.
Is the catch hole in the outfeed table proving to be a useful addition?
Originally it was for the blade guard to attach to the back of the saw. My saw is an older style when safety equipment was an after thought, so the blade guard never worked right.

Is that contact adhesive like the spray on in that it needs to be applied to both surfaces and mounted together after becoming tacky? If not, what's the open time?
Yes, very similar to spray adhesive. I can't remember what the open time is but I think it is several hours

"yo, Mr White" LMAO

Is this desk part of a set?
Or just one off that stands alone in the room.
This was a one off piece, but since then, I have been developing other pieces in that style.
Dados run cross-grain. Otherwise, it's a groove.
You get a ⭐

@@Benham_Design well even with the eventual break it came out looking amazing.
no idea what your work cost, whatever cost it will be worth it!
LOL, " Wood whisper did something similiar, i uhh, "I liked it, so i am borrowing it".... giggles
Btw, i subbed and liked, good shit man
Thanks!
I tried to blow the dust off of the top when you were lining your joint up
Thanks, I appreciate you trying to help. 😜
Nice Breaking Bad reference
😎
DID I MISS THE TAPERED LEG SEGMENT?
Sorry it looks like that didn't make the cut. However, I used the same process as in an older video of a bench I built. The leg taper starts at 7:45 ua-cam.com/video/YHsobFSepJI/v-deo.html
I really like the design good job!!!@@Benham_Design
I wonder what blade he uses for this. Mine is 5/8" and leaves a lot of chatter. I forget how many teeth per inch I have. ua-cam.com/video/hVkH2Ahl-yA/v-deo.html
it is a 3/4" steel blade 3 TPI from Rocky Mountain Sawblade www.rmsawblades.com/
