I work in a machine shop, I'm used to working with tolerances that measure in the thousandths of inches. I have precision machines at my disposal that cost as much as a small home. The level of precision you manage to get in something as easy to screw up as wood, using hand tools, commands my respect.
Thousandths of inches? I'd kill myself

@@kinkysama Everything would be easier metric, but We're stubborn and lumber is not on the metric system in the usa.

I've watched this video about 20 times now and I will watch many more. I bought the plans, and it was worth every penny. I would have paid just for the instructional videos. Excellent instruction. I also started making calls to local sawmills (by local I mean the closest one is over 200 miles away) to buy all the wood and almost had a heart attack. So, I called the guys at L.L. Johnson Lumber/Johnsons Workbench in Charlotte MI. and they hooked me up. It was actually $250 more than I could have bought lumber, but I don't need to drive 209 miles one way, haul it back, cut and mill it. It is being delivered to my door and I only need to do minimum milling on the wood. (Thank you Justin) I probably won't post a picture of my finished bench as it will not live up to the original.
Guys like you are WHY I NEVER call myself a "woodworker" or "craftsman"...."artist" ....anything other than a dude who PLAYS with wood...you are ALL of those...this is the most beautiful work I have seen. Really Impressive. Thank you. Classic.
Dude, I really enjoy watching people with skill and art doing the things that either I've never done or wish I could do. This bench is truly a piece of art. Amazing work.
*TopFineWoodworking. Com* is a fantastic website about wood working. I took various classes as well as finished a one year diploma in carpentry at a local tech college; this is much better than any book I worked out of during those lessons. It explains everything regarding woodworking as well as complements it with helpful photos.?
My sentiments exactly.
I agree. This young man definitely melds craftsmanship and art together. You don't see this that often in today's machine heavy world.
I've watched this video no less than 10 times over the last 8 months. I seem to keep coming back to this as it is the best workbench build on CZcams. Great job and a beautifully finished product.
czcams.com/video/pvVrVdqA9OE/video.htmlsi=xqbR5L8jatvKafrK
Na, samurai carpenter shits on it
After watching way to many workbench builds on CZcams I have to say this one is by far the best I have seen, absolutely incredible fit and finish look! But the best thing about this video is when I spotted the plywood and 2x4 workbench in the background and realized he too was a mere mortal at one point =)
Thanks Chris for an awesome workbench video !
I'm 75 so this will be a daunting challenge for me. I will order your plans and get some woodworking friends to give me a hand.
Nice to see an actual Carpenter using hand tools just as much as power tools...A lost skill in these days of speed and mass production! Takes me back to my days as an Apprentice! Awesome!!!
I love the way you show the first thing to do before you start work is to take the time to sharpen up. So many of these videos jump over that making people think it's not that important.
My dude, the work here is seamless. I know this is supposed to be instructional, but after watching this I really doubt anything I make would come out nearly as good as that. Damn that's fine work
Not many people would be able to execute this....You are amazing - a true craftsman. Love the workshop and your care of your tools. Congratulations.
Awesome customer service at Johnson's Work bench and excellent price. I purchased 432 board feet 8/4 hard maple with one rip edge and plane 2 surfaces. Ordered Thursday late afternoon, and was delivered to my shop (Grand Rapids Michigan) 16 hours later on Friday morning at 8 am.
Hi Chris, I bought your plans last year and just finished my 2.4m (8ft) version of the bench. I am so happy with it! It looks so good I’m not sure I want to use it in case I scratch it 😜 The Veritas vices were outside my budget however I fitted quick release vices instead with the appropriate mods. The plans were great, I just had to convert the measurements to metric to order my timber here in Australia. Thanks again.👍
The dog mean-mugging the camera for the last bit sold me on everything. Bravo, sir.

That cool doggie's Moma didn't raise no fool ...
As an amateur with woodworker, I typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement. Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness [Link Here== *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . I now work like a genius. That is great!?
For a person who cut his tenons so clean n precise say alot about his work ethic😍
Good to see one of these videos using hand tools. Also, great to see some older tools. My grandfather was a carriage builder and had a lot of these tools from the late 1800s. Two tools he didn't have were: mallet and straight edge/ruler. He only ever used his hands to drive the chisels and could eyeball measurements and straight lines. A true artisan. He is missed.
This guy is the real deal. No over-reliande on power tools/machines. Inspires me to be the kind of woodmaker I want to be
Man! This video makes me want to dust off my shop and tools and finally make my bench. I’ve gotten so busy with work I’ve lost my joy. Woodworking and blacksmithing. It’s time to get my joy back and start doing what I love again and maybe finally start making videos! That bench is beautiful and you do some amazing work. Heck I may even get back to restoring old planes again. I have a lot I have restored but I have a pile of them that have been sitting and waiting for some love! Great video you have me hooked!
You're not a woodworker. You're an artist. Such beautiful work!
Leveling feet would be a great addition. Garage floors are sloped: adjustable feet as well as a rolling capability option to move it around or outside would be ideal.
I recently bought a inexpensive miter saw and built a new table for my Big Green Egg. Now I want to build a workbench for the garage and came across this video.
Wow. I recall watching PBS shows like This Old House and the New Yankee Workshop with Norm Abram, as well as the Woodsmith Shop back in the day, but Chris Schoenberg just blew my mind with his video!
Holy cow. I feel a little intimidated. Everything is so clean and looks too perfect. Props to the cameraman and the guy who edited this video. Can you teach me woodworking please. 😅
totally get the feeling dude. I felt the same watching his trestle table build. All I can say is its a learning curve and its ok to enjoy and learn from his vids but dont let that stop you from getting into it and enjoying woodworking on a much lower level, lol. Thats where I am !
He already is teaching you woodworking
This was one of the most therapeutic things I've ever watched... true craftsman
Most maker vids are sped up and suits me just fine. This vid is slowed down and it is refreshingly different watching the slow process gives a more realistic look at how much detail and time goes into woodwork. Well done!
If I owned that it would be the nicest thing in my entire house, let alone workshop.
hahahaha
Wow, just amazing. I watched every 2nd like I was going to build this tomorrow. Then i stapled my finger to the plans I printed out. I think I'm going to start with house training my dog. Great video
This cracked me up... the full range of emotions watching this - excited, motivated & finally realistic.
I have never seen someone shorten the word “second” to 2nd
@@youflunkeddaycare you have, if someone says second place in a race, just not second as in time 😉
I'm not going to build the bench, but I am here just to watch a Craftsman doing his job - a masterpiece
beauty bench, cried a little inside when you painted the base.
I have let some of my woodwork colleagues know about this site [Link Here== *TopFineWoodworking. Com* ]. I was especially awed in the wake of experiencing the outlines and plans that were incorporated into the bundle. This is the best item for any woodwork devotee and shed manufacturer out there.?
Not even halfway through and it's so clear how much care went into every step of this - the bench and the video. Well done!
Here's a huge collection of woodworking plans: *WoodPlan. info*
I love the llook on the dogs face....."he makes me do this people..."
What a beautiful dog you carved there, it almost looks like it can breathe!
This is way more relaxing than watching videos of ocean waves or listening to a fireplace crackle
Love the end result and the purist approach, not least as I apprenticed as a cabinetmaker nearly fifty years ago. But I have to admit, in this day and age, my time is precious to me, and if power tools are at hand to make the task easier and more efficient, I'll grab them and put them to use. Still a wonderful job though.
One of the best looking & functional benches I’ve ever seen. Incredible.
Your hand tools are beautiful and love what you do with it. Watching how you sharpen your blades made me realize why I never manage with my hand plane 😁
Hello Chris, i am an Australian carpenter, builder. I just watched your making of a carpenters bench top video, very inspiring. Your a brilliant carpenter, tradesman. I wish I had the space and factory to make one of these with my now 2nd yr apprentice. People just don’t know how to or use hand tools these days. Great work Chris, fantastic.
Chris, this is one of the most beautiful workbenches I've ever seen....it could be a kitchen island in a nice restaurant! Wow! The cinematography is really stand out too! 100k will be coming quick :)
Thanks Mike, I really appreciate that coming from you! Cheers to both of us reaching that major goal soon!!!!
I'll drink to that!
@@modustrial how was the drink ?
@@ThirdCoastCraftsman So I'm getting into wood working and would like to make a work bench that suits my beginner needs and that I can build successfully myself... Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. I am basically a novice although I have some limited experience installing moulding (crown moulding, baseboards, casings, etc.) and tinkering around with some other projects but never actually learned how to work with wood properly or formally. Thank you and God bless.
One of the best bench builds on CZcams.
Thanks man! Much appreciated!!!
The very best post and beam construction video ever made on the internet. Professional, educational and beautiful craftsmanship. God bless.
Dude, I'm aspiring carpenter. I even geeked out on the part where you were sharpening the planer blades. Lol. Thanks for posting such incredible content!
welcome the family. yeah, when you start searching out blade sharpening videos, it's time to seek professional help. there are weekly meetings for those with this affliction; we used to meet at Rocklers, but, now we zoom.... ;-) seriously, I know what you mean. as an aspiring wood worker, I get it....
@@just-dl it's my asmr
You know you are a badass when you can spray paint over that level of detail...awesome build man
So appreciated your video...videos. I bought you plans for the bench and finally built it.... I should have done this 40 years ago. I went with the 9 foot version and went 30" wide andit suites me very well, couldn't be happier. I made some modifications for my own personal needs but your ideas and plans helped me alot. I went with a sliding deadman on both sides and for the bench hook I used an old idea. I am a piano tuner and cabinet maker so I have seen the way they used to attach grand piano legs which was a slip fit system that allows me to put on and take off the hook very quickly and is amazingly strong. I have save up wood and vices for many years for this project and after carefully studying your videos and plans I finally did it. It took me 2 weeks and had alot of fund with the draw tenons and really the whole thing. I had to glue the top upside down and then do the mortises and vices before I used an engine hoist to lit and turn that 9 foot monster onto its base. It fit like a dream. I made a sliding bench on top of it for detailed work as well as a router based board flattening jig so I could straighten boards up to 9 feet by 28" by 8" tall. Having a true top and even sides is like being in a different world. Now after having the bench for about 3 months I realize that I use it every day for almost everything and am thinking about building another one. I have 5 large work benches but absolutely love this one. Thanks for all your help!
So great to see him caring for the tools
Caring? he practically inserted them.
If that beautiful bench was mine , I would love to see the natural look of the Maple . A couple of coats of Tung Oil. That is a beautiful thing. Very good wood worker, craftsman.
I’m originally from Michigan, I’ve been in Las Vegas for 10 years and want to move back to Michigan in the next 2-3 years. Love your videos
You can go ahead and ship that to my shop...thanks!
I’ll throw it in my mailbox with a stamp on it and see if the mailman grabs it lol
The Nicholson’s would growl ! And then you would have to bring in the “bench whisperer” to separate 😁
I really enjoy both of your channels more than any I follow, you both are very talented, you see thru the project before a fiber is cut and mostly because you both have a humbleness about you. And,,,you both put your”boots”on to go to work ! I wish you both continued success
I, too, enjoy both of your channels for the same reasons.
I'd like to see the mailbox you build to throw this in :D
Don’t know why I watch these videos. I have everything I need to build a workbench except every tool in your shop.
*TopFineWoodworking. Com* , is a very comprehensive woodworking book! It breaks every little thing down, utilizing words, drawings, real pictures, and different diagrams. It`s unbelievably informative and helps me feel like I could help my sibling while we make our furniture together.?
It's either really cold here or all these shots were giving me the chills every 10 seconds, wish I could have a shop like that..
tHIS MUSIC TAKES ME BACK TO WHEN I WOULD WATCH "THIS OLD HOUSE" WITH MY DAD.
I loved that show. Also, Hometime, Furniture on the Mend. I was the only one at home that watched these shows though.
listen to it high :-)
They are still making This Old House - season 43 is going on now and is sooooo good.
Pretty awesome build. I’ve been watching every workbench build video I can find, and this one has so many great features. You don’t really need to install vises right away with the clamping capabilities built into. Really nice bench!
Great somebody using hand tools very rare on utube, I was taught in furniture making school that a good workbench is the most important tool you could have, regards
Chris, you are truly an amazing craftsman. A true craftsman that works with hand tools and makes it look easy. So glad to see this type of woodworking ISN'T a lost art. The most beautiful workbench I've ever seen. Great video production too. (Standing ovation over here.) 👏
The doggie at the end was like figuring out whether the camera was a real person or its owner was going crazy 😂
Cool video though 👌
Chris, thank you for the fantastic video. I am thinking about building my own bespoke bench and you have given me some great tips and hints. I love that you show the hand tool working so clearly. Educators would do well to show your videos to their woodworking students - as much for their motivational ’can do’ elements - as the crucial artisan skills you teach so brilliantly. Many thanks again. Tim. Dublin, Ireland.
I absolutely need the name of the acoustic song with the slide solo...jesus what a riff
Sir, this is simply fantastic. As an amateur woodworker, this gives me inspiration to attempt something like this.
It was an education and a pleasure watching a professional like you doing his work. I was amazed at some of the tools you used as well as the precision you put into making that workbench. Thank you for the inspiration!
That bench is a beast! I really enjoyed the mix of power and hand tools in this project.
There are SO MANY bench videos out there that are just completely and absolutely structurally unsound. Not this one!! That thing's a beast!!
That was flippin’ awesome. I love the joinery and the use of hand planes and chisels. Not so much the spray paint.
First time watcher. Will check out plans. I need a new work bench.
Absolutely Incredible. You're a true craftsman.
Just started this bench project with my Dad today. Been sitting on the plans for 3 years now but am finally in a position to build. Super keen to have a big project that I can learn a lot on
Hey, man. I'm wanting to start my own woodworking and blacksmithing weekend business, and I've gotta say, your videos are very helpful and inspiring! Thanks for putting them out there, and keep up the awesome work!
First time watching one of your videos and I must say, it was very impressive. Loved the build. Great work and super nice finished product. Inspiring actually. It is amazing to think of the number of projects that bench will see in its lifetime. You better start now thinking about who you want to leave it to because that thing will be functional for a very long time. Congratulations on a great design and thanks for sharing.
I got the plans for the workbench. I am going to build it out of eastern red cedar ,all solid heartwood I had the logs sawmilled. The top of the bench is a 3 1/2”thick slab.and 18”wide. I built a farm tressle table from the plans I ordered from Third coast. It turned out good.
The wood itself is beautiful! Looks like maple but seems to plane more like beech. The build is incredible - perhaps you have a part time job as a timber framer because you sure have the skill set. I watched the vid at work with the sound off and still loved it. Thanks for sharing and for your commitment to your craft.
Dude, first of all, outstanding! And second, thanks for not playing loud heavy metal music like the guy from “I Like to Make Stuff” does, it gets old really fast. Your videos are very pleasant to watch.
I`m retired and have a small shop where I perform woodturning, create musical instruments, and some cabinetry. I have a shelf full of woodworking textbooks - but I found this woodworking guide, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . The comprehensiveness of this book is surprising. It has decent coverage on every topic.?
im so glad i found your video because i didnt want to screw my bench top down to the frame so i dont have to worry about accidentally hitting one with a tool. using a mortise and tenon with dowels to attach it is genius.
SOME MOMENT COULD UPLOAD THE PLANS OF THIS TABLE .... HE IS A TEACHER, HAS KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL ... A HUG HUG AND CONGRATULATIONS ....I GREET YOU FROM QUITO - ECUADOR .... SOUTH AMERICA ..
saludos
BEAUTIFUL, I wish I had the space to use such a workbench and even make it. Very Great JOB
bit.ly/2TKmzK3?-plans-for-outdoor-shed
Wow, simply WOW!...
Unbelievable attention to detail and use of hand tools (hand plane, flush cut saw, don't recall the name now, and chisels).
A work of art, married with functionality...
Great table but I died a little bit when you broke out the spray paint...
Haha.
At least when he puts a pair of shorts on the bench, He won’t be blinded🤣🙈🤣
SPRAY PAINT.....ON MAPLE....!!!!!
Yeah, that broke my heart too. Some sort of oil would have been better to use in my opinion.
Third Coast Craftsman I also gasped when I saw the spray paint hit the maple - but it looks awesome. I love the look. Curious as to whether you could have saved money by using a cheaper species on the parts you intended to paint? Is there a reason to use the maple on the legs, even though they were going to be painted? I love this bench. Really great work - and the quality of your videos is fantastic. Keep it up!
Dude! Killer! Thanks for working so hard to put these videos together for us, I am learning so much!
Man, I’m blown away. What true craftsmanship and in a normal man’s garage! Great job!
Thank you for this informative and inspiring video - your hard work is much appreciated! We're currently planning a bigger garage so I can have a larger woodworking space and a bench just like this will become the centrepiece. I really can't wait to get started - probably around this time next year. Cheers and thanks from Sydney, Australia - Dave
Being new to dust collector stuff, I loved that you added some good shots of dust collector porn in the video. Thanks!
First, I thought this guy is going way over the top to build a very nice looking plain ole workbench. Then I realized this is the most useful workbench I have ever seen
Very beautiful, keep going, your work is outstanding and solid
It looks so clean and nice I would not operate with one tool on that table :D
Same haha
He's smart and chiseled on top of scrap wood @12:20 :)
I love your video work. I forgotten what it feels like to hand plane. I just press switches now.
Great bench. It would be great if you did a video on the bench features and when you use the Roubo v Nicholson features.
Can you estimate how many hours it took you to build this bench?
I plan on making a video like that. Prolly 40-80 hrs. Not sure exactly. its hard to gauge because of all the extra time it takes for filming
I really enjoyed those woodworking montages. Very relaxing. Great job on the editing
I like how your dog is on top of the bench with a face that says deadpan ''I don't know why I am here but I am his friend''.
totally fell in love with the editing, the wood and i want the weekend to be over so i can work again as i am becoming carpenter.. but honestly my heart was bleeding when you sprayed the wood
Amazing video Chris, I'm inspired by the talent and precision you have with woodworking. This is the second video I've watched of yours (definitely not the last), just subscribed.
Cheers! Samantha from Canada
That’s a stunningly beautiful bench. Too nice for me to do woodworking on. I’d use it as a kitchen island where I could polish it daily and admire it constantly.
Awesome video! Why’d you paint that gorgeous maple !?
I'm late to the party on this, but I'll say it anyway. This is a great video! We are definitely sharing it on out social media!
Emmy Braxtly
I'm not even big into woodworking and I still think this was beautiful to watch
It was nice watching you build your table and all... but where is the "how to" informational portion?
your answer is at 11:28
stodoys is nice for that.
great video, thank you!! newly retired and like to work w/my hands but don't know squat about carpentry. will be downloading all your videos -- going to build this workbench for my new garage/work space. wish me luck...
Damn I'm only 2 years late for the deal
10:13 ....ahhhh!!! A screw!!! phenomenal, as always
I just want to thank you for your woodwork arranges [Link Here== *TopFineWoodworking. Com* I have attempted a few different arrangements and most times I get lost on what to do. This is the least demanding and most basic arranges ever.?
😮
Bloody hell!
I couldn’t USE a workbench like that; I’d have it set up in its own room just to be looked at 😂
Had to chuckle to myself as I thought about how much I'd have to spend on clamps alone.
Superb videography going on! Excellent job as well. Over all just excellent! Thanks for sharing :) -Fred
thanks fred. We worked really hard on this one!
I always enjoy it double when i see a woodworking video with such great camera angles and movement. Well done.
Hello,Cris! When I see a hand work,which more perfect then work with machines I want to say " Master, great job!"
Imagine my confusion when the music started and it wasn't Guga from Sous Vide Everything ripping open a bag of charcoal.
Very smart and useful bench it turned out great great idea combining the two designs
Cheers
