Hi from London England, fantastic video, I'm gonna make one! Cheers Rick, all the best mate.

Wonderful video. I’m going to have to raid my neighbors log pile and build one. I’ve done a few spoons and currently working on a small bowl and it would certainly be handy for bowls and kuksa.

[@oldoldpilgrim7898]

It's good to see videos by someone who knows the value of a bow saw in carpentry. I had a friend who used his to cut his firewood and work on buildings.

[@RickMayotte]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@pondlife1952]

What a great idea. Thanks! It so happens I have a similar size log I found a month or two ago that was not cut ‘square’’ - you’ve provided the solution. Thanks again.

Thanks

Very Nice! This type of bench is called a 'clave'.

[@robertsapp7678]

I like your video format style, explain when appropriate, let video do most of the talking. Speed up on more basic parts! Great bids, I'm subscribed!

That’s a awesome job brother 😁 , great idea.

[@gbaughman3348]

you work very fast!

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

Is that a comfortable height for you? It looked a little short for your stature. It came out very nice and has inspired me to make one. Thanks!

[@standswithfish]

Simple, brilliant, just what I was looking for. Thanks for posting! Subscribed!

[@wizewoods9130]

You do nice work but the bench looks wobbly and the log doesn't look green. If your legs are green they will loosen up as they dry. "Green" woodworking works the opposite way, bone dry legs and a green log and the legs will tighten as the log dries. I'll be watching more of your videos, interested in how the bench worked out. Thanks

Think your auger bit needed sharpening there at the end

[@keenowl1410]

Nice

[@metroplexchl]

Love it! What sort of drill bits do you use in your hand drill? Also, you should make a bow saw or frame saw for that exact kind of sawing....you'll love it! They have kits out there that are awesome.

Great work on video mate

[@RickMayotte]

I put that in to help hold a spoon blank while I was cutting it.

[@rottiejakeluke]

@@RickMayotte thanks

[@mayaikejim]

Dig the music; video ain't half bad either.

[@erikblarg5498]

has anyone found the video of him using it?

[@RickMayotte]

How about this one, kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJLKeIOYbsR-la8

[@erikblarg5498]

@@RickMayotte Thank you Rick, Nice spoon blank! But I was more curious about what those pegs that look kinda like dreidels are for.

[@RickMayotte]

@@erikblarg5498 I put them there so I could wedge a wood blank between the pegs and the sidewall to work on with a gouge to make a bowl or kuksa, etc. I have not yet done this but it's on my list of things for the future. Thanks!
