Thank goodness someone gets it. Showing my nephew how to make mallets and every single channel was using miters and planers and table saws but the target audience was beginners . Even when challenged they’ll say I’m sure you can measure and cut without a table saw. Maddening! the point is watching you work through all the same things a beginner would using similar tools to show how best to maximize the lack of precision and power tools

Well you could have moved your board to left side of vise

Ok i suggest you do your leg workout next

Step 1 to building great woodworking joints - have a workbench. Got it.

Great technique

Hmmmmmmm seems to an electric circular is in order

Hello, what is the name of the black plate you use to squeeze the wood, the black plate that is incastrated in the table please, and the link for it? Thank you

I just bought the plans. Wish me luck. After reviewing so many workbench youtubes, this one calls to me, though I have the fun of converting imperial to metric. :)

Thanks Franks work bench when I cangetmyleft side to work again I am a stroke survivor I will build a 2x6 southern yellow pine bench like Franks workbench I will be in touch franks Work bench

Great work! In my humble opinion though, leaving that beast natural would have been sweet but i always prefer natty wood tones

I use one of those Japanese solid blade knives and it’s awesome

Really nicely done. Thanks for sharing it. Hope you’re enjoying woodworking still.

It’s impressive the way human beings are able to turn a twisted board into beautiful frames. Thx for posting.

i was interested then he stated to promote a scam that prays on people with mental issues so i left.

best channel on youtube!

Love this video, man. Really easy to follow

Strong build!! I liked and subscribed!

Either it's a first or it's the ultimate, make up your mind!

why didn't you go with the opposing grain directions of the ends and long sides/Bottom as in a traditional 6-board?

Yes. So after finding CHEAP WOOD, find a shop with some thousands of equipment. And that's it !!!

Can you send a link to that miter saw box?

I searched for someone who makes frames exclusively with hand tools. This video is my favorite

Hi Frank, and thanks for a great video. Are you still happy with the inset vise? I see some conflicting reviews of it.

Nice job with no fancy tools

what vise is that?

Merry Christmas, Frank. I really like this channel. Hope you are doing fine and will continue to publish content. :)

I made the top out of a five ft length of 4by 16 gluelam cutof added a length of oaks to both sides had clams one on side and at the right end drilled two rows for bench dogs now very close to the Danish style my dad top sits on frame made cabin and shelves below for a couple of drawers as I have god size shop it have its own spot by a window only had to purchase clamps as top plus the rest was picked up at construction sites 👌🇩🇰🇨🇦👨🏼‍🦳

That moment when you realize you subscribed to a channel who hasn't made a video in 9 months.

Cost effective? I don't feel this is true- time and moneywise, it costs MORE.

I-Beam is really clever. This might be a solution to my dilemma-just not enough space for a heavy workbench. Thanks

Lovely work bench- the tung oil makes it look like some of the old soft-wood work benches I see on other youTube vids., thanks Man!

Not at all boring. Very well explained and good camera angles. This will be very useful to anyone who wants to see how to plane a board flat by using a scrubbing plane, jointing plane and smoothing plane. Well done.

10:01 12:34 he took a leak in his glue bottle?

No board left man

RIP Frank. You will be missed!

I have watched this video dozens of times.

Great job. Thanks for sharing.

I know I'm late, but this was satisfying to watch.

Good suggestion. Thank you for sharing.

I wish this was not time lapsed. I enjoyed the video.

Be very very aware! The modern Hide glues (animal protein) are simply compromised formulations which merely resemble the original. Hide glue was dispensed from an electric Hot Pot on a brush with a very short open time until it cooled rock hard. Glue out would chip a hand plane's blade. Alcohol would fracture the adhesive. Extremely difficult with which to work from the Hot Pot. It was a very messy Pot. I remember when Elmer's White Glue use became widespread. The messy stinky Hot Pots vanished overnight. I can still remember that smell and sight. A miracle glue, that white stuff. Later the formulation changed to Polyvinyl Acetate. The original PVA was used by young Boy Scouts to coat newspaper for the sides of small canoes. It was waterproof. Mothers complained it wouldn't wash out of their boys' clothes so polyvinyl alcohol was added to the formulation for washing. Mexico is supposed to sell the original formulation.(???). The modern squeeze bottle stuff is do full of fillers to avoid Hot Pots that I would never trust it for any project. Well, maybe cardboard?

Workbench requires professional tools worth thousands to make. Definitely not affordable for entry level

Very accurate work! one question that comes up tho is how long did it take to make?

Good idea with the leather when you want less punchy shots.

It would take me way more than 29 minutes! Nice work.

Great video!! Does anyone know what the tool on 2.15 called?

That workbench probably weighs 2 pounds short of a tonLol

It's awesome to see all of that work done with only hand tools. I know what you were doing, I know how to do it, I would just be horrible at it.

6:10 fret saw! YES! You can use the spiral tooth blades and change direction immediately. I love my fret saws. I hardly use my coping saws anymore.

Man, those are GREAT! I wanna' make a shadow box for a Master Lock but I need to improve my skills. Thank you, it's a real pleasure!
