- čas přidán 8. 07. 2024
- Leg wise made of wood only (well, nearly;), mostly hand-tools, big self made wooden threads, wooden Criss-Cross; It came out much better than i would have imagined! And wood is definitively strong enough!

This might be the last video of this winter project, my workbench is finally ready!
Is it a Roubo- or Monrovian-style Workbench? I do not know.
What i know is, that it is really self-made. From choosing the wood (in the forest) through building hand-tools till mixing my own wood finish.
If you are interested to know how i made my own thread-making tools,

What an enjoyable experience to just watch and listen. I am so appreciative you do not add anything. Very peaceful. Thanks for the on-screen text.
This is an absolutely amazing work bench. Fantastic!
I’ve seen a lot of bench builds on CZcams. I think I like yours the best!
I love your videos. They are full of the real spirit of a carpenter. Clear thoughts and no hurry when doing a piece of functional art.
Thank you, and nice to know, that they are enjoyed!
That is such a novel idea; letting the live edge determine the design of your leg vise.
I'll be watching for more videos.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching! I am bit out of ideas right now, what to do next, but maybe somthing will come to mind soon. All the best to you !
Großartig! Die Hobelbank gefällt mir richtig gut. Vielen Dank fürs Teilen! Gruß aus Deutschland
Wondering who were that three strangers who put dislike on this masterpiece?
That thread cutting tool is outstanding, functional art at it's best
Nicely made - sweet use of that 'park' oak. This whole series of videos has been a real pleasure to watch.
I really think yours is the best looking workbench. Can't wait to see what you will make now that you have a proper bench!
man-o-man you are quite a craftsman, my hat`s off to you plus envious. At 80 years I don`t have the patience for that
And i believed, that we get more patient while growing older...? Maybe i've been wrong.
What an amazing piece of functional furniture you created there… Props, really really outstanding job!
Ce travail est une merveille !!!!
Mille bravos

Many thanks to you shearing these entertaining videos of making your workbench. It has been nice to see how carefully you made every stage. I hope you will make more videos in the future. Best regards! 🙂
Hei Jaakko! Good to know, that they gave you something.
The idea to make videos came up, as i hardly found information on how to make the tools for wooden threads (unplugged). So it seems, that my mission is accomplished :-)
But it was a joy to film. Maybe i found a new hobby. Let´s see if there are further video-ideas coming up. All the best to you, and terveisin Karjalasta!

_Reclaimed plywoodus_ LoL
Tremendous!
Awesome! You are an inspiration. Thank you.
Impressive build....well above average execution. Can’t help but think that the thread cutter should have longer handles but you got it done....well done and the old oak....was a score of a lifetime....
Hello Neanderthal-Man!!
Yes, i bit regretted that i did not have longer wood available for longer handles. that is how it is, when things are build out of firewood. Should have a bigger oven and make longer Firewood :-)
Awesome job
Beaurifully done.
N'est ce pas ce que l'on nomme " Chef d'oeuvre " chez les compagnons ?
En tous les cas pour moi votre etabli est une oeuvre d'art .
Je suis admiratif
Cordialement
Bonjour de France
Just discover your channel... A real pleasure! Thanks you
Love dude
Beautiful bench mate!
I did my best to pack this quite complex project into short time. How do you feel? Was it bit too fast, should it be longer? I am thankful for any feedback! Thanx in advance :-)
I'd just like to hear you explaining it...
I like your work! Who am I? I am a retired 76 yr old Shop teacher who moved on to Producing. I have walked the Red Carpet twice. You can find me on IMDb. Good luck and have fun. RWB
Have you thought about posting short and long versions of the same projects?
It’s a gorgeous video. If there was something I would change, the asmr sounds are great, the machine sounds could be lower in volume. Great content as always, stunning handmade projects. Thanks.
There should be a button to use ear-protection on youtube ;-)
Thanx for your suggestion! I´ll keep it in mind for the next one.
Magnificent job! 👍👏👏👏😁 I have a pair of the same Blue and carbide toothed Forstner bits and they are not very good. 👎👎
Hood eork.🎉
Превосходно!
How well has the cross held up under use? I would of never thought a wooden cross would work. We'll maybe a super hard wood. Thanks for the great video
To be honest, i had been wondering, if it would work out - i am happy, i just tried.
The cross is still alive, i did not have to repair anything. But, it also does not have the same power, than an iron made one. When closing, i am carefull, for long pieces, i put a second clamp. However, i am working with it and come along. That's maybe the most important.
For my choice of wood, usually i mention them in the very end of the video. In this case it was very slow grown pine for the cross.
С наслаждением наблюдал за работой мастера! Этот фильм надо включ ть в программу обучения столяров в колледжах.
О, спасибо за обнадеживающий комментарий!
Love it! I would also really love a video on how you made that thread cutter! Been trying to figure that one out for a while. Cannot find a large diameter, low thread count box or how-to anywhere. Amazing vise you’ve made
Keeping the original but checking your channel I now see it. You were thinking for me. Appreciated.
Верстак супер!
The bench is looking great.
I wouldn't go to hard on the "cheap" forstner bit, though. The bench press drill was going too fast for oak.. ..northern oak!
Thanx!
The best thing i'll do with this cheap drill is to not use it at all, neither slow nor fast, neither forward, nor backward. I'll enjoy working with proper tools instead of waisting my time, wood and smile :-)
@@littleforest There is this saying: You buy cheap, you buy twice...
Yes, that's how it is. Mr. Rockefeller once said, he was too poor to buy cheap things...
@@littleforest I was looking through the inventory of a certain german vendor and I stumbled upon pictures of your workbench in the section "customer workbenches". The world's small...
May I make a suggestion? Start at the end. Show a working part of your work for this step .. then go into the work. It will make it more clear to you viewer. Some will just leave in the beginning. RWB
Thanx for the suggestion. I'll keep it in mind for the next one. Have a good week!
Very cool idea with Criss-Cross, as well as the place where you mounted the garted (small piece of plywood). Do not clean the bark at the feet of the workbench, so that the insects do not attack them ? I am now working on a moxon vise and I broke a auger bit into a piece of curly ash.
Hei Daniel :-)
Here, where i live, there are not so many insects who eat dry wood. Mushrooms are more the problem, but they do not like dry wood. So i think, there won´t be a problem with it.
Wow, luckily you did not break the curled Ash, which might be beautiful and very hard piece of wood ;-) Think, Ash is one of my favorites, it grows well were i come from, but unfortunately not much here. And hopefully you´ll find a new Augerbit soon. Best greetings from here.
@@littleforest 😁I will make a video too, but in the summer
I think it is best to start your video with the finished product in use. Then go to the making.
Ok. I’ll be borrowing that bottom bracket idea. I’m about to make my own roubo with some live edge. I milled it 4 years ago just for this. Maple, cherry, and walnut. I bet you’re a roy underhill and mr chickadee fan. I’m still learning the whole editing and filmography of having a yt channel though.
Does the metal get much tension on it? I’ll probably use some hardwood dowels and grease it up well. A little oil and beeswax does well for threads and whatnot. Lanolin is also great if you have sheep friends.
Nice to know, that some of the experience here will help you for own project!
If i would build it again i would make the bolts of the criss cross out of wood. I am sure it will hold!
Just note, that you wont get as much pressure as compared with a "real" iron mechanics. But in my case it has been enough till now. And when more is needed, i can use a clamp to support.
Good luck with your workbench, and please, share some thoughts about it, when ready! I would be curious :-)
How long is the screw you made for the leg vice? And how wide does this allow the jaws to open?
All together its about 60cm long and i can open bit more than 20 cm.

I really the like video, but it was a little disappointing to see a leg vise doing contact only on the upper part, and not in it's full length... The vise must make contact with the all length of leg, I know the criss cross section assembly must be hidden and carved in the leg and vise...a lot more work indeed.. I subscribe to your channel, I love all your videos.
Yes, me too. It could be recessed into the leg (or 50% into the leg and 50% into the leg vice). But beautiful, proper hand woodworking!!!
Hello Fernando and Michael.
Most benches are build like you described. I just could not figure out why to build a vise with full contact. So, I chose the more easy and simple way.
Till now i am happy with it.
But I' m curious, what is the advantage of a full contact leg vise?
@@littleforest in simple words, larger clamping area, full length supported work. Chiselling vibration transfers to the all leg and mass of the all workbench, solid feel, etc
@@littleforest , I forgot to mention that having the work at same plane has the side of the workbench gives more stability and the option to clamp it to the apron of the bench. Hope u understand what I mean!
@Fernando Jesus ... For the first comment, i understand. Yes, this speaks for a full contact vise.
But the mentioned advantages would not work out with my wooden Criss-Cross. As the wood will bend under pressure my vise is never 100% parallel. I build it in a way, that in loose state, the distance on the upper side is slightly bigger than down. So, when closing it goes more parallel. But it is difficult / impossible to get it really exact.
With a very stiff (cast)iron Criss-Cross this problem might not be!?
I am not sure, if i understood your second comment.
The workpiece put into the leg-vise will be on the same level than the side of the bench-top. For long pieces, i can add a clamp to support the vise. But maybe this is not what you ment..
GUT!!!
🤔👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😉🤗👍🏻🇺🇦🤝🏻🇪🇪
You are lying, you haven't made the steel screws, you have bougth them... Lazy woodworker...
Hahaha just a joke
