I've bee making a living at woodworking for over 40 years, I hate watching these kinds of videos, because all I do is pick them apart. This guy, I can't stop watching his videos, everything he does makes sense. I even laugh at his dumb jokes. He is fixated on the Domino, he's right. His designs are nice too. The only thing I can fault him on, is his shop is bigger than mine.
This is why UA-cam is amazing. Anyone can share their skills and talents and now i get to do things I’d never imagine possible. Thank you for taking your time to explain and post
Thank you for taking the time to explain the legs, why you didn’t mitre them, and how to grain match. That was extremely helpful. Your videos encouraged me to build some large projects I would have never tried, and they’ve actually turned out half decent. Keep up the great work!
the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
I like the fact that you tell people when things are not required, like gluing every tenon in the base. Also I don't understand why people complain when you 'break out' the domino jointer, you've already said "Use a dowel joint instead" and you can do that for a few pounds in the UK. Keep the videos coming, they are really good.
Like your video on the bench. I watch most of your videos. I have a small workshop myself. I'm still learning. I made a cabinet to mount music equipment. Thanks for all the videos they are helping me learn better techniques, thanks again.
I love your videos! I watch on my smart TV so I never leave comments but I came on my computer to leave you this comment. You must have the patience of a saint. I can't imagine all the sanding you have to do and the complexity of your designs is brilliant! I just retired and started wood working and it is much harder than I expected. This plan I think I can manage so I will get this plan. I also love your sense of humor! Nobody seams to have one anymore. Keep up the great work! You also seam like a great Dad!
As ever you never seem to amaze me the quality of workmanship is second to none. Oh have you ever heard of that phase. But as you say easy peasy lemon squeezy. I say to that it's tickity boo.first class all the way. Billy from Scotland UK.
More or less built this but with ash. I love the design, its perfect for the foot of a bed! Also used it as inspiration for a couple cedar benches. Youre right, the little things like the angles on the legs make all the difference in the world. I moved the slat shelf up some to be able to put more stuff under it.
Hey mate love the video do really well love the table as well just a quick question here in the UK would that dimensions of the saw blade work with a normal saw blade from the UK or are they all the same worldwide
@@mortimerwoodworks3 Depends entirely on the blade. Most blades in the US are 1/8" (3.175mm) unless they use the 'thin kerf' blades. My TS has a 2.6mm blade. Just adjust your dado/groove accordingly by bumping the fence to widen, or use a router. You can also use a buscuit jointer and run it the whole length of the skirt, blades are typically 4mm. Or get a plough plane - there's literally loads of different ways to achive this.
I watch your videos all the time. You are so freaking talented and informative. I love this video cause you talked to us without all the crazy stuff. Please keep up the fantastic work, I so look forward to the next video.
Really enjoying your videos Bud. Not only do you showcase some very cool projects & fine craftmanship but, your personality relaxes me Bro. I'm from the North East (Jersey) & we're a bit high strung. Your video give me a few mins. to decompress & daydream about projects I could never accomplish. Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!
That design is identical to a coffee table and two end tables I made over 10 years ago. I used all 1x2s and pre-glued panels from Lowes. I think I only spent like 40 bucks. A few years later I painted the frames white and they made great country looking pieces.
When I made a similar bench I used the Domino 500 to put tendons in for the top and then put it together. I did not glue it and it (the top) stays where it should be and does not move or come off.
Absolutely great video! I am at best a hobbyist and have been trying to improve and learn new techniques for quite a while so your channel is invaluable to me and hope you keep the tutorials coming. For those complaining that you use festool. I have been scraping and saving to build my festool collection for almost 10 years and have met a lot of others doing the same at our local store. So I have the Domino and love it over the other techniques I used to use. I think it would have been easier and more legitimate to complain about having to use a joiner and planer to mill the wood. I wish I had those but can figure out a work around, like most thing.
Dude, this is a great video, but....your production quality has gotten so much better and unique over the past 2 years. Clearly having much more fun with it now. Congrats.
You are such a delight to watch. You always make it look easy. I love this bench and might do it after I finish my daughters baby crib, cherry of course.🙂
Enjoy your videos, and I am a follower. This gave me inspiration to build my own bench, a bit different than yours, but following the same basic idea. I for instance put the skirts (up and down) inside the V of the legs, and then I put the base slats on a thin stripe, a thin piece of wood on the inside of the lower skirts (I don't have tools for domino jointing). But basically, like. And very much inspired by your video. It now serves as a flower bench, making a kind of divider in a small apartment.
Wow dude!!!! 15 bucks for the plans! VERY NICE!!!! That is a very reasonable price for the plans!!!! I'm going to need to buy some plans from you soon. I'm just getting into selling wood products, so having some plans will help tremendously.
I love all your wood work! I love building things out of wood. I do actually have to build a work bench for my storage. Thank you! I want to have wood work shop one day. 😎
Jason - Adam here from Seabee Veteran Woodworks. I am so glad you are producing videos regularly now. I met you in Seattle almost a year ago along with Built By Stevie and Anne of All Trades. You do such incredibly good work. When do you think you'll be up in the Seattle area again?
Very nice. I would like to build something similar to this, but about 40'' tall, and on casters for a mobile kitchen island. With a compartment on the end to hold my trash can! Entertaining and informative video, and channel. Great work!
I have a question. Why wouldn't you use finishing nails along with the glue to put the legs together? Wouldn't that make it more structurally sound? Then use wood putty to fill in the hole from the finishing nails.
Could you build this with a doweling jig? I was thinking two dowels in each end of the lower shelf slats instead of the domino joiner? One dowel would allow them to spin.
I have to make 2 built in cabinets for my two nooks beside the fireplace. They span 65 inches on each side. I have a dewalt 7491rs table saw some clamps nail guns and other small essentials. I don't have a jointer or a planer or a buiscut joiner. I do have a kreg k4 pocket jig. Any advice? I have a dedicated 12x20 bay garage dedicated to my stuff (no cars allowed) can I make cabinets should I make 4- 32.5" cabinets and combine them? Thanks for reading
One thing I never really see in a woodworking video is what to do if something isn’t square. When assembling the shelf he says to make sure you check for square. But what do you do if it isn’t square? I always get the sense in his videos that everything is always square so checking for square is just sort of a formality. Would love to see how he would fix things during the assembly of the shelf if something wasn’t square.
Is that rubio? I wish you would’ve shown how you apply the finish to the legs and base. The only time i see people use rubio is on flat surfaces and I always wanted to see someone actually using it not on a table top only. Great video though and I love your stuff and your instagram.
Araya Woodworks I apply Rubio with a foam brush onto not flat surfaces and have gotten great results. Just make sure you apply enough to saturate (not soak) then the only key is make sure you wipe every last bit of finish off after 5-7 minutes
New to woodworking, so don't crush me on my question....lol....but this project seemed like a good time to use a biscuit plate joiner......any particular reason why you chose not to, the glue alone is good enough???
Any advice on rounding over the edge without tear out at the corners; I did mine today and the corner grabbed and I had to cut my table top shorter to route again ?
Well, nice video but you forgot a couple of things. Namely, what grit sandpaper did you use, Festool also makes a couple of different types of sandpaper, granat and one other I believe plus a mesh. Secondly, what size dominos did you use? I think those are the 6mm type. Also, one could use a DF500 domino machine which is $500 cheaper than the big brother you used. Also, how did you measure out the dimino positions on the legs? Finally, where did you get the cherry stock? Thanks.
You're videos are great. Excellent work. I like the joking ones but the more serious, educational ones are great as well. What finish did you use. I've read alot about cherry being difficult to stain or finish.
Lol always enjoy your stuff. But kinda funny that you didn’t do the mitered corner legs to keep it attainable for most ppl and then still used a domino biscuit jointer.

Thank you for keeping these videos family friendly. My kids love watching with me. Awesome stuff!
Great video bud! Keep up the good work. A silver play button is in your future.
Coming from you that’s a huge compliment. Thanks buddy

Thanks for the videos. Been watching a lot of your channel for the past couple weeks.
A great design, Justin. Perfect for a mud room to change from outdoor - indoor footwear and vice-versa. The lower shelf has room enough for boots too.
Completed this build today thanks Jason

I am a little late to your channel, always late to a good thing. Really enjoy watching you and learning. Thanks for keeping it real.
The masterstroke for me was the feet. Chopping of those little triangles turns this from awesome to speechless.
I’m deeply envious of your wall of clamps.
Really appreciate and enjoy your videos.
Came across your channel quite by accident, loved the content, now my wife and I are addicted to your work! Rock n Roll dude!
When I made a similar bench I used the Domino 500 to put tendons in for the top and then put it together. I did not glue it and it (the top) stays where it should be and does not move or come off.
Awesome video and build Jason...per usual! Thanks for using Rubio!
I wanna be like you when I grow up. Great video. Very thorough instructions and I love the z clips for the top.

xrayvisionnw thanks man!! I sincerely appreciate the kind words
great table Jason, I want to build something like that in the future
New watcher,WOW is your wife lucky to have someone such as you
Like how you've done the legs never seen that before
Super job on that bench… looks super easy even for a beginner! Will make this a future project!
Great build and great video! Very clear explanations of what you were doing and the bench is beautiful. Awesome work!
What a cool bench, I might make one myself
New favourite carpentry channel brother. "Build yourself a flipping bench" 😝🤘
Beautiful timber and beautifully made, I wish i could afford that wood !
Very nice. I would like to build something similar to this, but about 40'' tall, and on casters for a mobile kitchen island. With a compartment on the end to hold my trash can! Entertaining and informative video, and channel. Great work!
This was a great build. Great video.Hope to keep seeing more videos.
Like your style, man! Subscribed. You don’t take yourself too seriously, but you’re still super talented. Great job on the build!
Tienes en español este video ? Saludos gran trabajo
I love your humour. It is so dry it's dehydrated... serve over rocks.
Fun build to watch, easily attainable with basic tools. The Festool haters here are funny, chop saws and dowel jigs is all you need to use
Awesome work Jason! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Nice work dude. Great start to the growing UA-cam videos.
Love your work and the careful way you explain what you are doing. Thanks!
I have a question. Why wouldn't you use finishing nails along with the glue to put the legs together? Wouldn't that make it more structurally sound? Then use wood putty to fill in the hole from the finishing nails.
How much weight would a bench like this support?
And if a different wood species was used, how much would that affect the weight capacity?
Could you build this with a doweling jig? I was thinking two dowels in each end of the lower shelf slats instead of the domino joiner? One dowel would allow them to spin.
That would work fine!
@@4addevelopments139 thanks! Just getting into woodworking, and a domino joiner is definitely not in the budget. 😆
6:45 I recall those doggone Z-clips being devilishly hard to find. Glad you included a link for your source! Thx.
Great project build, thx for your step by step instructions, it was very informative.
We never made mistakes, we make happy little accidents ;)
Nice work
Dude your videos are awsome,,you have a great attitude..keep these videos coming..thanks...
Bro that is a woodworking flex 💪🏽 right there. Look how many clamps this dude got!! I wish i had that many 8:01
I have to make 2 built in cabinets for my two nooks beside the fireplace. They span 65 inches on each side. I have a dewalt 7491rs table saw some clamps nail guns and other small essentials. I don't have a jointer or a planer or a buiscut joiner. I do have a kreg k4 pocket jig. Any advice? I have a dedicated 12x20 bay garage dedicated to my stuff (no cars allowed) can I make cabinets should I make 4- 32.5" cabinets and combine them? Thanks for reading
Love the song selection by the way
Not sure how I didn't find this video sooner. I'm designing a very similar piece but a bit taller and wider to use as indoor firewood storage.
Beautiful ♥️. Question though, why do you not stain before you put together?
Nice coffee table.

Would love to see how he would fix things during the assembly of the shelf if something wasn’t square.
What was in the cup you finished the table with ; some sort of oil ?
LOOK IN THE DISCRIPTION 3RD FROM THE BOTTOM "Rubio Monocoat"
Is that rubio? I wish you would’ve shown how you apply the finish to the legs and base. The only time i see people use rubio is on flat surfaces and I always wanted to see someone actually using it not on a table top only. Great video though and I love your stuff and your instagram.

Yes it’s Rubio, a foam brush works great for getting all the little areas.
Nice! I really need to try Rubio!
Great video. Would like to see more in the future.
Dude you are awesome. You have comedy gold buddy.
Love to watch your videos. Great work and learned so mutch
Nice job w/ great instruction
Killed it my man
Great video, great channel! I really enjoy your teaching style.
Awesome brother 👍🏻
New to woodworking, so don't crush me on my question....lol....but this project seemed like a good time to use a biscuit plate joiner......any particular reason why you chose not to, the glue alone is good enough???
Love the build! Bench looks great! Videos are getting pretty awesome as well. You make every step seem pretty simple and very approachable
Very nice!!!! Thank you for the video!
Any advice on rounding over the edge without tear out at the corners; I did mine today and the corner grabbed and I had to cut my table top shorter to route again ?
If you clamp a sacrificial piece onto the edge and route past your top into that piece. It will prevent tear out.
I built a kitchen bench just like this two years ago using .......wait for it ....pallet wood ,gee it looks good !!!
Your Channel is my favorite to watch while I'm stoned...and I'm so stoned, rn. You rule!
I was allegedly stoned.
@@G0DeSs76 haha
Nice work brotha! Just found your channel and its kick ass man you got a very nice shop and do craftsmen like pieces !
My new favorite Channel. Lets gooooo
Very nice
After my blanket chest I am going to make and install some shelves for my grandparents
Please include more plans for builds I started following you just for that
That's a beauty.

Another awesome video. Can't wait to make this, but I need a good table saw first (my cheap old Crftsmn is just not gettin' it anymore!).
Lol always enjoy your stuff. But kinda funny that you didn’t do the mitered corner legs to keep it attainable for most ppl and then still used a domino biscuit jointer.
Great job.
Do you put finish on the whole bench or just the table top?
