WOW

really incredible. I really like your drawing, it reminds me of Castlevania. Did you break any scrollsaw blades in the process?

Thanks so much for sharing this! Beautiful design, clear teaching, and techniques that are approachable for folks without huge collections of expensive tools.

Wonderful work! That's going to be a beautiful cabinet. Did you break any blades whilst cutting the pieces? I know from my own very slight, very long ago, marquetry project that those blades break quite easily. And did you ever consider building a chelavet instead of a scroll saw? Maybe I asked this before (seems like a familiar question in my mind).

Outstanding work. Thanks for sharing it.

Bra jobbat!

I understand, and even appreciate, that you aren't promoting anyone or their products. But consider telling us your sources so we can consider building our own saws.

Typical of this channel, always showing us unrealistic work, for people with expensive fancy tools. I mean, how on earth do you expect the average hobbyist woodworker to afford a bucket of water?

The double bevel technique is a good way to start making marquetry. Enjoy !!!

Starstrucked

Nice one, Maestro! What a lovely image to see at the beginning of the lunar new year :-) Welcome back and happy new year!

Wow. The mix of patience and ambition required to self learn and complete this is off the charts. Very well done.

Wow! Hela videon var spänd väntan på resultatet. Som var värt att vänta på.

Hats off, young man, you‘re really a master of arts.

You are a renaissance man!

Nice saw

Fantastic video. I've always wanted ot make a treadle lathe, and today I just bought a Singer foot powered sewing machine- hope to follow in your footsteps (no pun intended) soon!

Can’t wait to see more of the new space Gillis, are you looking forward to a climate controlled shop? I would be!

Excellent shaping skills, pleasure to watch

What a beautiful box, nice job

What is that super narrow plain you used called?

Brand new bench and nothing to build, all dressed up and no where to go, I wonder what its really all about and for that matter what is really important.

Finally someone building beautiful workbench without fancy and expensive tools. Thank you 😊

Excellent video & build Gillis. So grateful to find your channel as we are a match in timing: I too have several 4”x6”x8’ Douglas fir beams ,they’re heavy and ready to build my new bench. My initial thinking was to leave each large beam intact, joint a side, then use large dowels and do a common glue up instead of cutting them down to 2 x 4 sizes (as you did). Yes I am Hoping to dodge the labor to mill those large beams down but also gain the strength by keeping the beams intact and cutting out only what I need. What are your thoughts on this approach? Also, Do you offer plans as I would like to purchase them especially for the joinery layout as it’s challenging my tired brain. Cheers

Great Bench. But those lower stretches almost flush with the floor would bother me.

Don't apologise for making a long video. I personally hate timelapse so stay away from those please.

Whether I or anyone else agrees with your wood selection, in my opinion, has nothing to do with your build. Your craftsmanship with what you have to work with is excellent. Thanks for another way to look at building a great woodworking bench.

That is beautiful craftsmanship. Respect.

If you're doing much stock prep by hand, I recommend 2 things: 1) Lubricate the plane sole with wax - I use a normal candle, since it's easy to manage and doesn't make a mess. 2) Buy and use a Wooden body jack plane - these are very cheap on the s/h market. (1) is still a benefit

Sea bañaso

Ooooohhhh, CAD! Cardboard Aided Design. I've done some inlays but haven't given marquetry a go, though I've been wanting to. Looking forward for the video! Thanks for sharing and take care!

Excellent video, nice skills! Could you tell us the length and thickness of the parts? Thank you so much

It turned out great, man! 😊 Looking forward to see your shop properly set up! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Looking forward to some marquetry work, perhaps panels as part of furniture👍

Well done! Fiddly little work is often a major pain in the backside. I'm looking forward to a tour of your new space.

A true craftsman! A minimum use of power tools!! Excellent bench!!

A wonderful video and so good to see the talent of the future starting out.

Jättetrevlig video!

beautiful and artistic! You are the Bob Ross of woodworking!

Great to watch a craftsman 😊

لقد قمت بعمل رائع في استخدامك للأدوات اليدوية، بالإضافة إلى أسلوبك الهادئ في تقديم الفيديو. وكانت النتيجة تحفة رائعة جداً

😂SOS una 👩🏼‍💼o SOS un👨🏼 estoy confundiendo 😂😂

Cool

Everything done by hand reminds me of grandfather and father. Thank you.

I know it will work.

So rad! I've been researching building foot powered machines and i'm so glad I stumbled onto your channel! Thanks for sharing your knowledge

Love your channel and appreciate all the hard work. Can you tell me your process for sharpening your chisels please. They seem to be very sharp in all of your videos.

Awesome work! ❤️

That's not a storage rack, that's an heirloom, man!

I run into the same problem. I plan to make a lighter bench that literally slides over my workbench. And that will collect the clutter
