Crafting My Ultimate Woodworking Workbench: Unveiling My Masterpiece!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2024
- A few months ago, I completed what (I hope) will be the last workbench build that I will do. Motivated by a need for more floor space in my workshop, a need to have a smooth and reliable work surface, and of course my desire to make everything fancy, I created my best maker workbench.
This workbench is built from Bolivian Rosewood (or Pau Ferro) and Ash with a little Ebony added as trim. I threw in some brass to take it over the top and here we are.
In this video I have added some of the thoughts I was having both during the build and now looking back on the build.
I hope you enjoy watching my journey to both itchy town and glue town!

Wow!!! I don‘t think I have seen a prettier workbench yet. I wanna go to my shop and make one now❤
Thanks Laura! You just let me know when and I'll come help!
This isn't a workbench, i would be afraid to even let my tools fall on it lol It's way too beautiful
Thank you!
Very nice work! But it makes me want to scream DON’T TOUCH MY WORK BENCH!
If you scratch it I will scratch you! I would be afraid to use it for anything other than a showpiece. Makes it very impractical
Id be upset if dust got on it.
I agree with all the positive comments; this really is an amazing workbench and you should be very proud of how it turned out. I do have one criticism that I'm sure people will blast me for, though: the chat bubbles in the video are quite distracting. I could have done without those altogether.
I enjoyed the chat bubbles but I also would have turned them off to view a second time.
Absolutely a beautiful piece of furniture. Wouldn’t let my tools within ten yards of it.
Great craftmanship.
That would make an awesome kitchen island. It's beautiful. I could never get any work done for worrying about damaging that piece of fine furniture. Love the rosewood! 👍
Who would use that at a “work bench”? 🤪🤪🤪 Too nice!
Nicer than most my furniture in my house
I'm a bit late to this video, but I don't think I could bring myself to do any actual work on that. Beautiful bench.
Would be awesome if I wanted to start making quilts and dresses.
Beautiful.
Phenomenal design, great execution in the build process, and a beautiful end result. I will happily watch more should you create it. But please, reduce the number of "speech bubbles", they draw away from the craft you're putting into the piece.
That's a showpiece, not a workbench, but the drawer front, those are a work of art, stunning to look at, hope you don't mind if i incorporate that in something i build.
It's absolutely stunning; the wood on the top is soo beautiful. My concern is that our workbench is one of our most important tools and does it feel too precious to use properly? One of the tricks I really like the idea of intellectually (but struggle with at an emotional level) is first job on a new bench is to take a mallet to it and give it a few hearty thwacks to get it out of the way!
Very Nice!
That's the most beautiful workbench i have ever seen!
i like your design
This is amazing. Beautiful work.!
Thank you very much!
Awesome Workbench. It's so nice that it would look better in a dining room than a workshop. Don't get mad about dings, dents, and scratches. I built a simple 4x5ft workbench / outfeed table (cheap - 2x4's and an A grade ply top). I at first hesitated "working" on it because I didn't want to mess it up. Then I told myself that if it doesn't get messed up, I am not building things that people can enjoy. So take pics and then go mess it up a bit! Welcome to UA-cam!
Trult a work of art. Would be great if you had construction plans for this build. I certainly would be more than happy to pay for plans. Great work & best regards from your mates in Sydney Australia
Wow, if this is your workbench, what does your dining table look like 🤯
So this is your writing desk !!! Cener piece to your library !!!
Dang - that's built better than any furniture I own, let alone shop furniture. Nicely done!
How about some data - cost, hours to make, how long before first deep scratch, 1st pics after a project has been built on it. It is beautiful!
It belongs in a kitchen 🏆🥇
Way too beautiful to be a workbench. Also, great job 👍
Thank you very much!
Wow, Wow, Wow, Craftsmanship at a whole new level!
You created an Absolutely, Unequivocally; Exceptionally Awesome; Workbench!
Well done, Andrew!
Wow, thank you!
Wow, absolutely stunning, your craftsmanship and level of detail is on another level.
I want one. Nice job.😊
Thanks!
Pretty work Sir!!
Thank you kindly
Beautiful! I wouldn't even dare to eat lunch on this, let alone work on it! 😀
Wow , I would be afraid to work on that bench, what a beautiful piece. That would make a great kitchen island .
A masterpiece of elegant but functional design.
Thank you so much!
This is unbelievable! Some motivation for my workbench project soon.
Looks great!
wow... beautiful!!! thanks a lot for sharing!
Absolutely beautiful, great work.
As a workbench, she's just too frigging beautiful to damage by something as plebian as work! First video; loved it so much I subscribed! Keep'em coming!

That bench is amazing. I’m hoping to make my own someday. Well done.
WOW indeed I would have that in my front room. Amazing
A beautiful result indeed
Amazing Projekt - amazing Video!
Nice job, great job! Sometimes it's unbelievable what kind of things a good master can do.
OMG - the TOP!
So. I’m guessing this is the bar you show the fellas on football night while the actual work bench at the beginning of the video 😂is the actual work horse you break out for making things.
Thats a very nice high end dinnertable. wow.
Fabulous Bench and a Fabulous Video. Well done.
Thank you very much!!
Thats fancy!!!
Nice
Thanks
Great job! New subscribe! Can’t wait to see what is next.
Work bench? Really? Thats over the top pretty. Now you need a work bench you can put stuff on.
Thats a work of art.
She’s a well built beauty no question. Nicely done. So…..you’ll be using your old bench for woodworking and this one will be in your living room?
Nice assembly table
OMFG - check out this surface!!! Absolutely gorgeous!
I absolutely love it, however that being said, I don’t think I could ever lay a tool down on it because I would be afraid to scratch it but if you’re brave enough I’m sure you will!
nice
Andrew, Excellent work, just goes to show you don't need the best tools to make an amazing piece of work! Nicely done.
Let's all have a moment of silence for the first tool he puts on it.
Es bellísimo!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩😍 , muchas felicidades por su trabajo.
Now that's a work bench.
Thanks!
One Word for this = STUNNING!!!
Thank you!
What an awesome build, but the editing really takes the cake! I hope to see your channel grow!
That's so kind. Thank you!
Incredibly beautiful! Like the back and forth w yourself too😂!
Great work as always ❤❤
Thank you so much 😀
Great craftsmanship! I hope we get a chance in future videos to see it in action. Is your wedding ring a wood inlay? I've got one like that made from a whiskey barrel. Haven't seen anyone else have one yet.
It is absolutely stunning! My most heartfelt congrats on creating a beautiful piece of art.
Thank you so much!
Wow absolutely stunning amazing work it turned out amazing would be scared to use it it’s so beautiful. Can’t wait to see what you build next
Thanks so much 😊
Beautiful. Well worth it to feel inspired every time you enter your workshop. I replaced my Masonite bench top with a butcher block top, edged all around in maple, with maple/cork jaws for my vises. Makes me happy every time I see it.
I especially like your scribing that message in your top!
Thank you!
Beautiful. What are those slide out bars for? Keep sharing. Thanks.
Here you go: What the pullouts on the bench are for..
ua-cam.com/users/shortsSj0NpkWc5s0?feature=share hope this answers your questions!
So gorgeous I would be terrified to do any work on it 😅
Very nice
Thanks
Beautiful! The Bolivian Rosewood is stunning, although I would have a heart attack if it got scratched. But with all the glue you used I'm guessing it will act as added protection! Well done Sir! Congrats on your exceptionally beautiful bench!
This is insane. Absolutely love it. Great work man. Not sure if I would risk working on this workbench haha.
The bench is beautiful, but I would be afraid to use it! That wood is amazing. I bet this project cost a lot!
I would put that in my living room!!
Now take it into the house and use it in your kitchen perfect!! And the make a work bench
My dining room table isn’t this nice!!! 😂. Beautiful work!!
Greetings from France! It was a great video, great production and great workbench! Thank you, you got a new subscriber.
I‘m blown away !
Super nice work & I love the refreshing way, you make your videos.
❤Functionality meets „one-of-it’s-kind“ with a handful spice of „thinking-outside-the-box“❤
Thank you very much!
Andrew, this video was great. The bench and details are amazing but the video edit was also genuinely great
Thanks Dean! I am so glad you liked it!
You are right, smaller is better.
amazing bench!!!!!! are you really work on that ;) nice work
This is a work of art 😮...I had to sub!!!
Very beautiful! And now you have to make a workbench you can really work on, while looking in ohh at this one!😂❤
