Curious, I've seen lots of Workbench videos, and it would seem that some kind of monocoat is used. I wonder why you don't use boiled linseed oil? (I know very little about finishing, so again, I'm just curious, and not judgemental). Now we've got to get you some more space. Beautiful work! Thanks!

My boy is a huge fan! Would love the globe displayed in his room.

What a great way to wake up. I grabbed my morning coffee and went to my man cave to watch a little youtube when your video came up. I loved your choice of wood and joinery. This is not just a work bench. More like a fine peice of furniture, to be passed down through your family. I would love to see more detail explained in the future. Jac.

What's the purpose of the dogleg to the left of the leg vise? Never seen that before, and it seems like something that will be in the way.

That chamfered dovetail is very nice. I'm building a Roubo right now, and will think about stealing that detail.

Amazing work. Get that shop organized.

Holy cow dude. Favorite project of yours ive seen so far, loved to see how it all came together in the end. Keep it up!

I absolutely loved the quiet first part of the video

Great production quality, great heirloom gift. Dave, your shop is a mess and it causes you heartache. You know what must be done to find peace.

All I can say is great work on this build. The quality of the video and product is absolutely amazing! Keep up the good work.

Awesome video. Loved the music in this one, especially at the beginning. Box turned out great! Cool to see you using the pop out things on your workbench

I am not sure which I like better, the quality of the project or the quality of the video😊 Please don’t make me choose. Keep up the great work. I actually am in a smaller space, 22 x 28, but what I have chosen to do is to go with the Oneida Mini Gorilla for my larger dust collection option and the brand new Hercules dust extractor for my smaller machines. So far extremely happy with both units. My table saw of choice is the job site saw from SawStop. It fits my needs and my space. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for sharing your content with us! Mike

Aaaand here's my second comment: Dave, yes, you ARE the MAN. Now, you can't let that go to your head, dude. Yes, Sam Maloof kept an impossibly messy shop, yet redefined woodworking. However, you're not Sam Maloof. Clean out your shop, dude, so you can continue toward Maloof-dom. -- or -- Dave... you don't know me... suffice it to say I have a certain set of skills...

You're getting two comments from me... first, awesome work. Boxes are in fact much harder than they appear, simply because they are close to the most basic essence of all woodworking. I watch cooking shows with my wife, and it's like when the contestant decides to make an omelet for Gordon Ramsay... simple = hard. Personally, I'm not a fan of purpleheart, but you did use it in a way that was not oppressive. I laughed at the clip of you planing it and said, 'yep, gotta love that impossible wood.'

thank you for this, what a fantastic piece of work! Oh and Hey dave, you gotta clean up that workshop!

Dave IS the man, also Dave... what are you doing? it's the end of the year! You gotta get that shop cleaned up so you can refocus on doing the thing you love to do! Just deep cleaned my shop, can't recommend it enough! I even found a random forstner bit set! Gorgeous pieces my friend! As always, you're quite impressive!

This is my first view of one of your videos, and I really enjoy the content and mood. Very high quality. And I know just enough to realize that isn’t easy. Thank you! New subscriber. ❤

Wow thank you for sharing. Best of luck with your channel. Your videos are truly unique. I can always say I have not seen any video that has your style.

Just came across your video and I will be subscribing for sure. Your work is beautiful. Keep it up! Can’t wait to see more

Very nice work. Handmade with care begets an item that can last several lifetimes. As you continue to grow as a woodworker consider how someone in the future can repair a well-loved piece. The artisans of old would set glass into rabbets then lock them in with quarter round. This allows for glass replacement without having to totally disassemble the frame. PVA glues can be reversed but with much more difficulty than hide glue. Keep up the good work and keep pouring your soul into your craft.

very nice looking boxes! Enjoy the holidays with your family, hopefully less storms over the next few weeks :)

Beautiful gift.

Really nice project -- this was sent to me by the algorithm (woodworking + watch boxes just get me) and I'm really impressed with the video and end results of the project. Happy to subscribe and help you get to 10k!

Bravo!

Dave, please do your thing, before he hurts himself.. That cut around 18:45 almost went wrong. You see the piece almost being grabbed by the blade and thrown towards him. He makes beautiful stuff, let's make it so he can continue his work..

The most epic sharpening video I’ve ever seen.

Hey Dave, you've come so far to deserve to upgrade, and it will take you even further. So clean up, eh

Love the end result! Your skills are truly blossoming. And Dave…get it together. That shop I mean

Dude this was awesome. Im excited to see more of your work in the future. Dave you know whats up

Do you have a link or info about the trombone music? So good. Also enjoyed the woodworking;)

Great gift and a great video. And Dave, you know what needs to be done ...

Hey Dave!, you hands down absolutely deserve that shop upgrade, help a fellow woodworker out!!!!

Wow Dave, what are you waiting for? This world needs to save as many fingers as possible so it’s up to you now.

Selfishly I wish you uploaded more often- I always get so excited when I see you uploads on the home screen. Incredible work as always, keep doing what you're doing and enjoy the ride! And cmon Dave, help us out here!!

Awesome video! You deserve well over 10k subs by now! Where did you buy the glass to go in the frame?

What is the tune you got playing. I love it.

Awesome job being able to produce such quality pieces out of such a small shop. Even not on sale, the sawstop is the saw to get if safety is your primary concern. The PCS will take up less space than your current saw because the motor doesn't hang out the back.

lol I was worried when I clicked on this video that it was another “what to buy your boyfriend who likes woodworking” happy days when I discovered it was another banger

This was your best video yet! Good work my friend. Shout out Dave

Dave, that shop is looking a little "eh"! Time to get motivated and upgrade that shop!!! Nicely done on the boxes by the way.

Your lucky to have parents that support you. Was on my own at 14. Didn't get my life together until I was 27. Ten years later I own a house and spend all day in my shop. Believe in yourself.

Clean up your shop Dave. You will feel motivated and happy in a clean shop.

C’mon Dave… clean up your shop… You know you want to. You’ll feel better, you’ll help this kid out. Everybody wins!! Oh, and great work on the boxes! Color combo is beautiful

Haha, that power outage clip. I know when this was recorded! 🤣 Luckily down here in Tacoma we didn't get any of that mess.

Great project, beautifully done! What’s the idea behind the top being oversized on 3 sides? Thanks for sharing, it’s amazing!

I am at your DM please give a look

Come on Dave, Like I need one more tool in MY garage….haha. Great video, love the music and content. I will support you always, just like I do with your 5 other siblings🤪

Hey Dave (wait that's me) Clean up your shop! (I'm talking to myself too....)

This looks soooo cool. Keep it up man. You inspire me to start my own channel (and get that good at video editing lol ahaha)
