I'm an 82 year old boat carpenter who spends more time enjoying videos like yours than I do in my shop thanks to sore joints etc. A lot of my body parts hurt these days and what doesn't hurt doesn't work but I still love spending time building nice projects. I can't tell you what a pleasure it was to watch you build this nice bench. You have combined modern methods and machinery with a very high level of workmanship and you even pick up a plane or a chisel too. I have worked with some top-notch craftsmen and you can hold you own with any of them. By the way, they make mistakes too. I'm looking forward to watching you build some more interesting projects.
I have to say this bench is mind blowing. I've seen alot of wood working benches, this is probably one of my favorite. Great Job Tamar. You're an inspiration to us all.
So awesome to hear. So many sleepless nights thinking about how to make this the most functional bench for me. Glad to see people are liking it!
@@3x3CustomTamar -- Maybe not only for you, Tamar. The design is very interesting.
If there is anyone who doesn't like that bench......they just don't count !
I really like the $600 vise on the front, I just ordered 4
Simply awesome! Congratulations!
This workbench would tell someone everything they need to know about you as a woodworker. It's beautiful.
☺️☺️☺️
The bench looks amazing! Great job! That ankle roll looked extremely painful. Glad to see you've recovered and feeling better
Thanks so much! It ruined my summer… but I’m back in action 👍
Your projects are interesting. You explain things well. I’ve learned a lot from you in the last three years. I’m very happy for your new shop and the tool improvements. I’m excited when you get a new tool lol. Thank you for being vulnerable enough to show the ankle roll. A person with a big ego would have just skipped that. The bench is awesome. I love how you incorporated ideas from a Rubio but made it modern. Well done and please keep these exciting projects coming!
Tamar, I’m not squeamish in general but know well the feeling you experienced at that moment, and got a case of the heebie-jeebies watching that slo-mo… kudos for not having to bleep the whole next 5 minutes .
Your bench is a testament to your growth as a woodworker and you SHOULD be super proud of it.. seriously considering a near duplicate adjusted to my height and needs!!
THANK YOU for being yourself!! ❤️❤️❤️
Tamar, this workbench is so beautifully executed and versatile. I want to cry at the unbridled elegance and utility of this object. You are an engaging, terrific teacher and a master craftsperson. It is one accomplishment to design and make this workbench… and yet another to explain HOW to make it, with sufficient details to inspire others to follow in your path. Thank you for your generosity of spirit.
Wow. This comment almost brought me to tears as well! I worked so hard on this project, so it is so amazing to get feedback like this. Thank you for making my day with the comment.
@@3x3CustomTamarх
Great work bench and video! You should have your own TV show, it would be great to watch!
Thanks! Haha. I like working on my own schedule…
“We all make stupid mistakes, the only difference is mine was caught on camera.” True story. We ALL make mistakes in our projects. Woodworking CZcamsrs who show their mistakes (and more importantly, how they fix them!!) are to my mind more honest and demonstrate a true instructor’s mindset than those who show perfect technique every time. Love your workbench, Tamara!
First off, this bench is absolutely amazing! Second, thank you so much for being willing to show us when things go wrong or when mistakes happen. For those of us still in the "make something garbage and learn from it" phase, seeing highly skilled woodworkers make the kind of mistakes that we would make and still turn out great work is super encouraging because it reinforces the idea that skill isn't about not making mistakes, but knowing how to fix them and not panic when they happen. I learn a lot from your videos!
Я знаю что он хороший но какая модэль?-У этой фирмы несколько моделей.
Wow. Incredibly thoughtful design!! Just thinking this through must have taken months or years. Your projects are always incredibly impressive - thanks for continuing to share with us!
Lots of years in the making!
@@3x3CustomTamarouch that looked painful. Poor thing. Ouch. But the build is incredible. Great job.
The pop up dogs are worth watching the whole video for. Ingenius!
They are so fun!!
Something to bere in mind lass, you DON'T want to counter sink unless you absolutely have to, it's much better to use a brass dome head screw in a counter bore as the sloped sides between the screw and wood create pressure points that will lead to splitting over time, but if you use a flat or dome headed screw set into a counter bore that issue is almost completely eliminated.
Spoken like a true lass hole.
Yes!!! A dog hole template that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg! Very excited to use this, you’ve inspired me to finally tackle a workbench. Took a lot of inspiration from you, thanks for sharing your work!
Awesome! So glad we can make it affordable! Have fun with your build!!!
What a fantastic bench! I really enjoyed watching it come together! Love the design and all the features. You clearly put a lot of thought into it!
Thanks so much! So many sleepless nights!
I was waiting on the beeps to start there at the end! 🤣 That looked rough.
So sucky… ha
I am low-key in love with this workbench! Wow! congratulations on a lovely work of art that is going to serve you well for years to come!
Thanks so much! I keep staring at it!
What I like about you... It's it don't hide the fuck ups, you show it and that makes your videos more... accessible? Relatable? It makes them seem more real and for those looking for guidance, shows us ways to avoid the issues that arise in moments of panic.
I could have easily left the whoopsies out, but it’s all part of the roller coaster ride of being a creative 😂
@@3x3CustomTamar it's what makes you different, more like the people who come here to learn, it matters.
You're my hero and mentor! It's so satisfying to watch your new space develop into a professional workshop any of us would like to emulate.
So glad you’re enjoying!
Tomar I just want to say you're amazing!! I'm a professional finish carpenter wanting to do more woodworking Awesome Teacher!!
Usually when I watch woodworking videos I’m allways looking to steal an idea or a hack. When I watch your videos I just get lost and enjoy the ride. Outstanding craftmanship. But what I enjoy most are your brilliant and cunning solutions. Respect and admiration. Thank you, Tamar. You kick a**
☺️☺️
That is not a bench, it is a work of art! The video series of you building it was excellent. Especially the end, where you covered all of the capability it has. I am looking forward to seeing you use it on your next project.
I'm building a small workbench and just found your video with mastery, lots of tips and knowledge. You are a trully inspiration for women like me that loves woodworking. Thank you! 💪🫀🪵
Ive been loving this series so much! Great work T!
Thanks buddy! I kept walking into my shop just to pop up those dogs 😂
Admit it, you really just love seeing your stop block in random places!
Jk
Nice bench and ouch, I felt your frustration and anger at yourself at the end there. I've hurt myself in the shop several times and in pretty much every case it was because I did something I knew I shouldn't have done and felt like a moron. Thankfully it was a just a rolled ankle and the top didn't land on your foot and break it. I was talking with a guy at a Woodcraft a little while back who was moving a walnut slab and it slipped and fell and landed right on his shin. It scraped the whole bottom of his leg and even a while later it was still all bruised and messed up. I remember one time myself I was working on the frame of my bench. I rested a dead blow mallet on the edge of the top stretcher for some stupid reason while i was underneath installing the lower shelf. Of course, I bumped it and the dead blow mallet fell off 2x4 stretcher it was precariously rested on and fell right on the tip of my finger. Thankfully, I didn't break anything, but man it was painful. We are always worried about chopping our fingers off with our saws, but many times we forget that other things in our shop can still be dangerous, even just the wood we use can cause significant injuries. Glad you are doing okay.
Yup! There are so many more things we need to be aware of! I have been moving very slowly and keeping my eyes on the ground since this happened…
this bench ... I don't even have words for this bench. You're killing it Tamar
☺️☺️☺️ I’m so proud.
Probably one of the most thought out and useful designs possible. You were able to combine so many uses into what is a decent size while still maintaining mobility and functionality.
I’d love to see what the total cost was for lumber and vices. Also, what does it weigh?
Keep doing what you do Tamar. You are one of the most inspiring woodworkers on the tube. 👍🏼
That’s so awesome to hear! So glad you like it! I linked to the vises in the description if you want to check it out. I would say is like a couple grand worth of material
@@3x3CustomTamar I imagine that’s pretty close. I literally just bought 6’x 8”x 3/4 walnut/cherry/maple to make some cheese boards for Xmas gifts… $350 🤦🏻♂️
Everyone’s getting a tiny board this year.
I've watched a lot of dream bench builds and this is definitely one of the coolest.
Add french cleats on the sides of the bench so you can change the locations of the thinks you hang there without any worries.
Brilliant bench!
Soooo functional, I love it.
Post script: I love the way Tamar says "drawers".
I’m a carpenter / cabinetmaker and I’m impressed with your knowledge of woodworking and your skills that you have. I’m proud of you for letting people know that nobody is perfect and mistakes happen . Nice job and awesome workbench keep up the good work . Doug from Wisconsin union member since 1994
So stinking happy for you! One of my favorites! You deserve all the success you’ve had and have earned every bit of it!
Thanks so much! 😊
What a beauty: well thought out and so multifunctional. A priceless treasure.
Love the “prairie dog” name for pop-ups. Clever. 🙂
Haha those were my favorite part. So fun to build this for myself
Thats a veritas product name...
Fantastic work, Tamar. As with many things in life, your unexpected moments (the false start glue up, gravity vs. wood and ankle) can be filed under 'live and learn.' Be proud of your success, all the best!
Thanks so much! Lots of lessons learned!
This is possibly the most versatile, most awesome workbench I've seen on so far. Amazing work, thank you!
The bench is amazing Tamar. You did a fantastic job. As always! 👍🏻👌🏻
Thanks so much! 😊
Love the tool holder, wood sandwich thingy idea. Terrific. This bench will become a family heirloom piece.🌟
OUCH! To the sprained ankle, I broke my foot that way - sympatico.
Oof, that sprained ankle looked painful. Hope it's feeling back to normal, injuries like that have a tendency to last. Also hope the camera that fell was ok!
As far waiting to hang things on the end of the bench, I recommend temporarily attaching them to see how positioning works. Double sided tape works great for this. Then you can re-position without leaving a bunch of screw holes or something.
Congrats Tamar! What a fun project. It’s amazing how much planning you go through on these.
I’m totally impressed with the effort and thought process you put into not only making your bench but also the work you did for videoing and editing your podcast. Bravo!!
That laugh and smile when the top part slides into the supports. So contagious!
🤣
This lady is most surely a Goddess of wood work she is nothing short of a genius perfection out standing
Incredible design, beautifully executed! So many well-considered features, it’s clear you spent hours (months?!) thinking it through. The only thing I’d change if I were to build it is a tool well in place of the spacer, I’ve tried a spacer with tool slots but I’m way too messy and lazy to use them, a well catches everything for me. Loved the series, great to see you back, and commiserations on the ankle 😬, tha footage (ha 😂!) was tough to watch!
I like that you left in the domino error. The honesty of ‘I made a mistake and my solution was definitely not the right one’. We have all been there!
I do not know how I didn't find 3x3 before. Subscribed. I LOVE how you explain things, sometimes live, sometimes narrated. Amazing. I'm drooling about making a bench, and I love several of the ideas here! Thank you!.
So glad you like all the ideas! Lots of sleepless nights went into this ☺️
Little sister that’s an amazing bench you built-thanks for sharing it.
Ok gang -we’ve got that other CZcams channel Woodgirl…the Asian young lady who wears short miniskirts while working in what looks like a factory shop that must be closed for her filming and then we have this beautiful young lady…in a sweet ass shop damn near breaking her leg (and neck) to bring us her dream build. WE THANK YOU FOR KEEPING IT REAL!You’re a inspiration and wonderful role model little sister. Much love.
Keep that ankle wrapped-to everyone out there remember I.C.E. = ice,compression and elevate!
I have no idea what channel you’re talking about and I don’t think I want to know 😂
I am still thinking about my-finally!-left-handed bench, and trying to figure out how to combine many useful track saw accessories, which require a certain spacing and hole size, with bench accessories, which are in the different hole universe of your tempting template. Still thinking … but so looking forward not to have a front vise slam into my hip when trying to plane, and maybe have a bench as nice as yours. Lots of valuable ideas here.
I'm all ears.
Ouch! So glad you didn't snap that ankle with that nasty twist under all that weight. I've rolled mine like that in the past as few times but never broke it. But it was in an insane amount of the pain that first night. Glad you're looking healed up.
And the workbench, very nice! Love the overall design and tips and gadgets used to build it. Keep killing in the shop and stop trying to put yourself in the hospital.
Shows the danger of working alone out there with no one around. You might wanna work out a plan for getting help in the case you need help ASAP. Maybe phone always in your pocket or something else. Too many tools that can cause some bad injuries quick like that new bandsaw. My man Jay Bates almost had his hand swung into his blade recently. Luckily the spinning handle sent his hand flying up instead of forward.
Be safe please!
That bench is too beautiful to use! Great build my friend!
I can’t wait to mess it all up! 🤪
@@3x3CustomTamar I bet! It is so nice too!
Just met you by accident. Thank you! This is awesome! Your work is fantastic, shop is unbelievable, your friendly and kind demeanor shows quality, and you aren't selling your body. (IE: tons of makeup, low revealing tops and cleavage, hair is up and neat, nor styled this morning by 2 hrs of blow, curl, finesse, and sprays. ) As a female, I find that very encouraging and noteworthy. You just won another subscriber.
What area are you located? USA?
it is REAL TREAT to watch you working and a real treat when you tell us what and how its done my work shop is no were near as big as yours and less equipment than yours you live in America I in England two different worlds both with the same love WOOD. though I make every thing I need but not on such a grand scale you are a pleasure to watch keep going good carpentry.
Congratulations on building such a beautiful bench.
I don't normally like cliffhanger endings (in yt videos, they can feel like creators milking it). but in this case, the whole process is super in-depth and interesting, so I'm glad you took your time with it!! I hope your ankle heals soon. and those "prairie dogs" are brilliant and have the best name ever!!
I do love a good bench build, and this is a bloody good bench build! Well done indeed. It only costs some time, some timber, some money...and one ankle!
Wow wow wow, well done Tamar. Absolutely gorgeous and amazing DREAMY workbench.
Thanks so much!!
Hi 👋, Tamar , awesome 😎 looking 👀 Bench, that was excellent tutorial on how to build a perfect bench, I think I can safely say from all of us. We are looking forward to seeing your next projects coming off this bench that will be beautifully made.,
I wish you all the success for the future. Stay safe. , sorry that was too late., you are the third person I have heard of having their ankle damaged over the last six weeks, believe it or not, are there two people or actually walking in the countryside, I hope you get better soon.
Phil from the moulin France,
Regarding the ankle sprain injury; two tips I learnt many, MANY years ago - which stuck with me - is to think of the health and safety of the item you're carrying too - and clearing the path you're about to carry it via. If you don't want to drop or damage the thing you're carrying (OR injure yourself) then check the route is clear before you lift the thing. I always nowadays check my route for trip hazards, stuff I might have to contort to get around, etc. It takes a couple of mins for a long route - but my back needs me to be careful these days. It would've saved your workpiece from the drop, your camera from being in the way, and your ankle from the (freak/rare) injury. Obviously hindsight is 20/20 vision but it's a good data point to reaffirm the tips as valuable.
Oh and by God that workbench is amazing - totally inspiring and super helpful for my upcoming workbench build. Thank you ever so much for taking the time to explain the features/benefits. Seeing your love for your designs and those pop-up dogs etc is so wholesome and energising to experience.
That is the most awesome bench! As for the domino mortise...anyone who never made a mistake similar to that, just hasn't done much of anything! Great work, Tamar! And I'm glad that ankle is healed up! Thanks for all the ideas, info, and especially the smiles. God bless.
Haha yup! Happens to the best of us! Thanks!
Just finished watching your workbench video , as a third generation woodworker I was impressed with the though that went into your bench and the craftsmenship you applied to detail. Beautiful work .
Thanks so much! Appreciate that
Your bench is beautiful! I really like the way you combined old and new styles. Plus your closing comments helped me a lot - I’m planning an assembly table/track saw cutting station and keep stopping, thinking I have to figure out every detail before I get started. Now I realize that as long as I figure out *how* drawers, etc will go in, I don’t have have to complete that right away. I can work with the table and get a better idea of what I will need and where to locate tools and rulers later.
Thanks so much! Yeah I find it’s important to live with a space before you settle on anything. When we bought our first house, we thought one room would be the tv room, then after living in it, realized that room was all wrong! So now I ever settle on anything 😂
Initial thoughts... not another workbench video. But I have to say, this is my favorite workbench I have ever seen. Great job! I would love to make my own.
Thanks so much! It was such a satisfying build
I just gotta say: you made an absolutely awesome and just simply gorgeous bench! Your shop is turning into a woodworking walhalla, Tamar! I am so happy for you, knowing where you came from just a little while ago! Remember those cold winters in your former shop? Seeing where you are today and what tools you have now just puts a smile to my face!
And those vises - wow! they look so cool!
Haha yes. I remember. I try to forget my frozen toes 😂😂
Bench looks beautiful. Very nice job.
I don't normally comment on video's but this was really great to watch and yes the bench is beautiful and so functional. Great job!
Congratulations on the new workshop. It's looking great. Love the workbench build. Smart ideas incorporated in your workbench.
I hope your ankle heals quickly and you get back in the groove of things. And you're right. Alway clean your areas to avoid mishaps of this kind.
As always take care until the next time. I will be checking in between my shop projects and builds I have going on.
Oh by the way, I will be building another workbench in the near future myself. Still deciding on all the features I want in mine.
Take care.
I really hope you will recover soon. I must have been very painful. One thing lots of woodworkers don't have in their shop is a first aid kit. I happened to need one several times but still don't have any. Plus, when you consider that you work on your own with nobody around... Anyway, your workbench looks very nice. I'm sure you will enjoy every project you will build on it.
I've watched a lot of CZcams Videos on Woodworking Benches and want to tell you that your bench is on the "Short List" of the BEST BENCHES I've seen, excellent job!
This was an awesome build series. Glad U R doing better. I like how U R thinking about making things easier with the side and leg dog holes. U said small girl problems. I'm a former power lifter and bodybuilder. I have hurt my back, knees, shoulders, and elbows doing it. I have no desire to be lifting heavy slabs around anymore. I am all about finding better ways to do this now. There are dollies that are scissor lifts that can be used to lift the wood up to the workbench. Engine lifts are a good option and if U wanted to go big. A rail system with a chain fall can help to lift up heavy objects and move them around UR shop. Size and strength does not have to be a limiting factor. There are ways to do the projects we want to do and do them safely. I enjoy UR videos keep them coming. Be safe, keep making, and stay awesome.
Yeah I have to start working smarter with bigger projects like this
Oh my… not only is this THE MOST functionally versatile bench I’ve seen but the THE MOST beautiful. There’s a podcast I love and they always say, “let the women do the work.” You have proved, yet again, just why. Ron Paulk bench, whaaaaa? AMAZING! ❤
So much ingenious thought into functionality while still keeping a beautiful design. Hands down the best bench I’ve seen on YT. Beats the countless Roubo bench vids
So glad you like it!
1- That bench is awesome. I love the useful multifunctioness of it. 2- Omg that ankle twist and the aftermath. I bet you were pissed off at yourself for that and in a lot of pain for a few weeks
So upsetting… thanks!
Absolutely magnificent bench. Thanks for sharing.
So glad you like it! Thanks!
There are literally tens of thousands of wood working videos, what makes yours so interesting is your awesome commentary. And you are a fantastic woodworker. I’m hooked.😊
At first: Glad to see, your foot is better and was healing well. And yes, nothing is more important than health. You can buy everything but not health, so for you and all professional and hobby woodworker: Please be careful, you are more important than any of your projects.
Wow, I really enjoyed watching you by building this workbench. Truly I love wood projects with many different functions. I always try to build an "all in one wonder", if you know what I mean. If you have little space, you need good plans for many functions in just one project. Thank you, Tamar for sharing this with us.
P.S. I love your own tools so much, they looks so useful (I already saw other YT woodworker with your tools), so wished I would live in US to buy them.
Glad you enjoyed it! We ship our products worldwide!!
Wow! I watched all three videos, and I am blown away by how much planning and forethought you put into your creation! An extremely functional bench, and it looks great, too! The walnut gives it a unique and beautiful look. Also, it appears your ankle is doing ok. Glad to see that. Cheers!
So glad you liked it! So much thought… ha
Your human like the rest of us. The beauty of your channel Tamar is that you show them. I would have paniced too and probably done something much more wasteful,so dont sweat it. It will help me as i am in the middle of building my new assembly table only I have made it more challenging by putting a dowel thru the middle of my top.the means making sure i drill a hole through each board in the same place. Your skill level has really grown and it is wonderful to watch you and your channel grow.
The branch turned out absolutely amazing Tamar always enjoy watching your videos have learned so much from watching them. So sorry about your ankle that looked very painful and I’m sure it was glad you are doing better it’s always sucks getting hurt you get hurt so fast and it takes so much time to heal. But glad you are feeling better 🙏🏻
A lot of thoughts and planning goes into this kind of work, patience is the key and I love to see you smiling. Simply gorgeous bench
Awesome build. Lots of good ideas if I ever get around to making something similar. Excellent work on the editing though. You really shoot from a lot of angles for each scene or when you’re explaining something. I can only imagine the amount of work to splice all those clips together.
I appreciate the way you show and explain all of your mistakes; Your humility is refreshing. Everybody needs to see that a woodshop is an inherently dangerous place, in ways we sometimes don't consider. I know from experience what your injury feels like, and how much you were kicking yourself for doing something, well, stupid (just like everyone else.) My ankle injury took a lot longer to heal because I had to go to work the next day and try to pay the rent every day after. I'm glad you are back on both feet, thanks for being you!
I thought I could just walk it off and I worked the next day… dumb move… I had no idea how painful a sprain could be!
Awesome bench! Since you are having trouble deciding how to use the end for storage, maybe put a temporary piece of plywood with some French cleats. It would be modular and give you experience with what you want the final product to be.
That’s a great idea
31:40 The viewer that called those prairie dogs is a genius and I’d like to shake his/her hand. AMAZING workbench.
Haha same. I wish I though of it too
New to your channel and being a CZcams junkie I’m very impressed with everything I’ve seen on your 3 video bench build. Your skills, teaching style, video editing, and great craftsmanship.
Beautiful bench and there’s literally only one bench that I’ve ever seen that blows yours out of the water. Please don’t take that as a downgrade (my intention is a high compliment) as the one Pedulla Studio built. Honestly it needs to be in a woodworkers museum.
Very nice -- you are fun to watch --- Good Luck!
Awesome table! May I suggest a French cleat system for the ends? That way if you want to reconfigure where your glue bottle lives or other items, you can simply move them around.
It is an amazing piece. I have been watching long you for years and you never cease to amaze me. I can’t wait for what’s next. So sorry you got injured, but thank you for keeping it real and showing us that a clean shop is a safe shop!
Thanks so much! Still taking it slow…
I didn’t realise that “workbench envy” was a real thing! And I felt the pain in your ankle - we’ve all been there.
The "fanny hammer" to seat the top was a cute touch... A labor of love in worth the time... This is a great looking bench... I look forward to years of seeing this in your videos... God Bless...
I just ordered an architectural grade glue-lam beam from my lumber yard. Large glue-ups like this just is enjoyable for me.
That’s a great idea
So.much thought from experience, so much planning and remarkable execution. This whole build is superlative. ❤
I am a huge fan of your site and admirer of your designs! As I have been planning every phase of my new workshop over the past several months, I have been saving ideas from all of the top CZcams channels for comparison. Time and time again, when I watch your projects, Tamar, I end up picking yours over the others. Whether it’s your crosscut sled, your tenon or 6-in-1 jigs, I find them to be the best practical designs for my shop. Now I have just finished watching your workbench build, and have finally found the perfect combination of features for me, too. And the icing on the cake, you also came up with the dog hole jig that I have been searching for! Better than the rest, and more affordable!
So much to love, here! The gap stop, the "prairie dogs"😂, how functional this piece is. This is excellent work😊
Haha so glad you like it!
Sweat, pain and tears. This video had it all!
There was blood too… 😂
What a gorgeous bench! I made a split-top Roubeaux 2 years ago with a Hovarter leg vise and could not be happier with it. Got a Benchcrafter end vise, and wish I'd gotten a Hovarter there too. Hovarter vises slide to close, partial turn to tighten--genius. What a joy to have a great bench. I laminated yellow pine from a 100+ yr old barn floor for the top, legs were red oak from an old horse wash stanchion, the rest from ash (dead of course) from our lot. I learn something every time I see one of your vids, Tamar. Great work!
I was looking at the hovarter vises as well. They look great
A woman who can do such work is a wonderful addition if you also work creatively. You are simply top class and a role model for young people who also love precise and creative work! You really deserve the subscription. Keep it up, I'm happy to be there when I find time. You are an inspiration to everyone!
I’ve done that ankle roll three times in life. So felt that one with you. Ouch! That aside, the workbench is gorgeous.
ouch hope you ankle get better soon sorry to see you like that
This is probably the best bench I’ve seen online in a long time!
Makes all the hard work worth it! Thanks so much!
Ouch! I’m glad you recovered. I’ve done things like that, it just was before phones had cameras and GoPro didn’t exist!
Super. The creative + mathematical juices that must have been flowing for this.
I've been gobsmacked since video 1 ... the thought process, patience, attention to detail, skill level and explanation is just way beyond ... please don't take this the wrong way because I do sincerely hope you are fully recovered but I have to admit that last bit did bring some relief because it showed you just as capable of not thinking things through and not getting it right just like the rest of us 😉
Hahah! I mess up way more than I record on camera. Don’t worry 😉
This is the best designed bench I've ever seen, you really thought about use cases and practicality. I've been watching your channel for a while and I think this is the best thing so far. It's master-level stuff as far as I'm concerned.
☺️☺️ so glad you like it
