    This week I designed and built this bench with a modern design and a Japanese influence. The leg and brace design make this bench incredibly strong and I’m confident that the bench can support several hundred pounds. ( At least three grown men). I designed and built the bench with my three teenage sons in mind. The entire cost for this project is just about forty dollars. There is a drawing, material list and plans on my website.

    This came out awesome Jon! I really learned a lot from it. Thanks.

    @richardazone Před 7 lety

    So glad to hear there are be more art projects coming. The bench is truly beautiful Jon. The lines are quiet and as you mentioned, Japanese in spirit. Hope this new year brings the best for you and your family. Thank you for the inspiration.

  • @AndrewPingitore
    @AndrewPingitore Před 7 lety

    Jon, I really look forward to your videos. Your way of showing your projects can only be described as zen-like. I am a relatively new woodworker (less than two years) and seeing your skill and precision only makes me strive to be better in my own projects. Happy New Year to you and your family!

  • @steenfraosterbro3268
    @steenfraosterbro3268 Před 7 lety +2

    Hi Jon. I follow lots of woodworkers here on youtube. You are one of the few that combines great woodworking skills with a equally great sense of design and dimensions. This is really a beautiful bench. Thanks

  • @SydneyBrown1
    @SydneyBrown1 Před 6 lety +2

    Glad to have found the channel and love this 'art' build. It's inspirational (and aspirational) for a beginner like myself.

  • @WilliamSkaggs1
    @WilliamSkaggs1 Před 7 lety

    Jon, This is one of the reasons you are one of my favorite woodworkers on CZcams. Excellent Project, Excellent video editing, excellent instructions. Thanks

  • @terrywong7879
    @terrywong7879 Před 6 lety +1

    Nice results. No too many wood workers left to appreciate the beauty of wood and the time it takes
    for the trees to grow.

  • @kevincolburn95

    Always great work. Something extra special about this one. Really good walk through and reminded me a lot of old Norm videos. Excellent project and video.

    @photog1529 Před 5 lety

    Looking forward to more of your art videos, Jon. I myself don't have a flair for the artistic (beyond photography and woodworking), but I do appreciate the efforts of those who do.

    Jon, this is one of my favorite builds you have done. Clean neat and well designed. Not to take away from any of your other builds, I enjoy and admire them all. This one struck a cord in me. Well done, Thanks

  • @irpcpastor

  • @davidpascoe4452
    @davidpascoe4452 Před 7 lety

    Love the video, and it's a beautiful bench. Looking forward to trying this one day.
    The fortnightly format is a good idea as well. I'd rather see a longer video of a more in depth project than a short and simple build that you could do in your sleep.
    Good luck, and happy new year!

    Great looking bench Jon. Looking forward to the new format of your channel. I have enjoyed the videos that were about other things you do, like the beehives, the artwork, and the gardening/yard stuff.

    Outstanding work, Jon. That looks great. We don't really get Douglas Fir down here, and I don't like the way SYP looks as much. That turned out great!

    I love the look and design of that bench. Also its great to have a back up tool to finish the job when another tool isnt working properly. Hope you get you thickness planer working soon.

  • @tropicalheritagebonsaiandl8377

  • @mikebee02
    @mikebee02 Před 7 lety

    Very nice bench, good proportions, and glad to hear you'll be alternating woodworking with art projects. I like the variety of home projects, furniture building, and artwork on your channel.
    Fastening into the cross-grain of that dowel insert was a particularly interesting part of this project and I'd be interested in a episode maybe fleshing out that explanation a little more and showing other similar techniques. Those strengthening tips are a super helpful part of these furniture builds.

  • @tuckeni1
