    I've seen dozens of videos of people building a workbench. What always annoys me there is that it's always the finest wood, the finest tools, the most precise surfaces. But what makes a really good workbench? The mass that keeps it in place. The diverse clamping options. Enough space to work. Let it age gracefully. It should show what we have achieved together.
    The most impressive thing about your video: You used wood that others would have put in the stove. You gave back this wood to dignity. Thank you for sharing your excellent work with us and greetings from the southwest of Germany

      Work benches of old would have been made with whatever was available. They were for doing as they were called - work. Not to be a show piece. And I guess with the work involved with cutting trees into usable timber, best wood would have been for the products, so they would not have used best timber anyway.

    Fantastic video. Great bench without $100,000 or more in machinery. Not pristine lumber but lumber that gets the job done. Thank you.

    So glad it didn't crush the Mrs when lowering it down. Could've kinda put a damper on things.
    Love the old way of making things. Quieter. Less dust. Pensive time. Well-earned skill.

    Holy mackerel, that is one gorgeous workbench. I particularly like that the timber already has a story to tell with all those checks and wormholes :) The editing was great, too - loved the shot of the two of you struggling to lower the assemled bench. Enjoy the finished Roubo, I am sure it will give you lots of joy.

      Also came here to say that I loved the moment of seeing the young couple struggle together to lower the bench. Reminds me of all the times my wife and I wrestled furniture in and out of tiny apartments. Seeing it from this perspective made me appreciate the beauty having a good partner.

    The spalting is gorgeous. I skipped around, so I hope I’m not saying something already covered, but I like that the top is more blank, but the vertical pieces are what have the most character. Oh yeah, and the craftsmanship is pretty good too I guess… 😉 First video of yours I’ve seen, but it won’t be the last.

    I'm planning to build my 2nd bench. I noticed that your space under the top is empty without even a shelf. My question is do you ever experience racking or movement when you are planing or working on heavy object on top? I'm leaning toward an integrated drawer system or possibly bracing underneath.

    • @harkandheed
      @harkandheed  Рік тому

      The design of the through tenon's into the top of the bench as well as the interlocking legs prevents any racking. I haven't had issues. I decided to leave the bottom without a shelf since it just gets covered with shavings anyway and it's a good place to keep excessive shavings. If you go with a shelf I would minimize the gaps on the top of the bench.
