Beautiful! Show us with all the pipes mounted! Amazing work…again!

[@FranksWorkbench]

The idea was to get that in on the vid, but I'm still working on the racks!

[@HBSuccess]

Frank - fairly new sub here - I’m sure a ton of us would appreciate your approach to sharpening since your plane irons and chisels always seem razor sharp. So how about a couple of sharpening vids? Thanks in advance

[@ikust007]

12:38 satisfaction

[@johnbell1012]

Comment dropped. 👍🏼

[@FranksWorkbench]

Appreciate it brother!

[@chaimschuss596]

Amazing job! Can you do a video on your sharpening techniques? Your equipment always seems so sharp!

[@alangknowles]

Let's appreciate all the pipes arranged on shelves at end.

[@dianemoore2945]

I love you chisel technique! I’ve been watching a lot of guys do woodwork and you have a very clean smooth way of working. Great job!

[@todd4654]

That is beautiful. Unique, usable and complex enough to keep you looking for more details. I Really enjoy your site and your work.

[@garynelles]

Another good build Frank. I enjoy seeing how other experienced woodworkers perform various tasks. There's always more than one way to do it and I usually pick up some useful tips!

[@eugsmiley]

I need to become a lot more patient in order to hand craft an entire shelf like that. I am in awe.

[@vosifle]

Just again: Great work!

[@markbuilds]

Love the craftsmanship and joints. How are you planning on hanging this?

[@FranksWorkbench]

Thanks man! Keyhole hanging hardware

[@Putnik1988]

Отличная работа мужик 👍👍👍 , привет тебе из России!

[@halle8378]

Both enjoy and always learn something from your presentations. Roughly, how many cumulative hours does a project like this take you?

[@FranksWorkbench]

Thanks man, I'm not sure but certainly longer than I'd like!

[@jeanlucvassort6411]

Hey Frank, thanks for ALL your videos, it’s always a great moment to share with you. Like you i mostly use hand quiet tools. Eventhought i did not reach "yet" your skill, the journey is quite pleasant. All the best to you and again thanks …

[@FranksWorkbench]

Thank you so much!

[@okiwatashi2349]

Beautiful work Frank, a great piece, and a great example of what can be done in a small workshop with experience and care. Really lovely

[@FranksWorkbench]

Thank you so much!

[@jmwoodcraft7842]

Just found your channel, loving this piece & looking forward to a trawl back through your previous videos… do you have a personal favourite to recommend? Ps those planes look proper sharp 🔥

[@robbentvelzen6807]

Rare level of tool maintenace. Chapeau.

[@imager8763]

Classic Paul Seller's workmanship!

[@FranksWorkbench]

Thanks man!

[@MCsCreations]

Really beautiful work, Frank! Really well done! 😃 I'm going to make something similar with my father, but for his old stereo system from the 70s... He even has the old LP player! 😂 So I showed him your video. He loved it as well! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@FranksWorkbench]

That sounds awesome man! Thanks!

[@insantiago798]

I enjoyed your content especially how you did everything by hand even though it took longer because you didn’t use machines the payoff was well worth it! whoever that shelf is for gets to enjoy the video to understand how much love went into making it.

[@FranksWorkbench]

Thank you so much for the comment, glad you enjoyed it!

[@DonBoyles]

My favorite hand tool channel. Another great video.

[@FranksWorkbench]

Thank you!

[@mychannel7921]

I stumbled across your channel several days ago, and have been binge watching ever since! The handtool woodworking is intriguing me more and more! What size plane are you shooting with?

[@doyalkrishna5656]

Incredibly beautiful. What dovetail saw is that? Outstanding video

[@fletchro789]

I think I really have to up my sharpening game. Hm. Well, at least I know there are higher levels I can go to! I DO like getting better.

[@johnbosma5906]

What is that type of glue that you used? And what is the finish used??? It looks lovely

[@ernieengineer3462]

Nice work! Good video. Thanks for posting

[@rmclad]

Beutiful, thank you for the effort it is very inspiring.

[@1320crusier]

Come on, you know you want an old school shellac finish on one of these xD

[@normancoutts]

That was a pleasure to watch Frank. Proper old school woodworking. You have the patience to match your skills: or maybe, vice versa. In any case, good to watch. All the best.

[@FranksWorkbench]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@jdstar6352]

Don't understand the construction of your shooting board. Perhaps it's the video, but it looks like the elevated surface that the plane rides against is too thick, and the plane blade would be shaving the guide as well as the workpiece. Otherwise, nice meticulous work. I've always loved working with cherry, it just does everything it is supposed to do.

[@FranksWorkbench]

Yes it's a big 3/4" piece on the top. Needed to make it with what I had (my previous went out of square) and didn't even have time to let the glue dry - hence the thousands of brad nails lol

[@BakerVS]

Very nice! I think your idea of a faux tenon for the diamond shaped piece would also have been a good idea. Just as strong and pretty, but easier to make (but not as satisfying to watch you make).

[@FranksWorkbench]

Absolutely, just wanted to try something new really

[@brucewood4286]

I just found your channel and am watching video after video. I saw a Go Hogs sign in one so I thought I'd say hello from Conway. Woo Pigs!

[@FranksWorkbench]

Woo pig!

[@markklein437]

Unbelievable how much advertising money Viking has.

[@FranksWorkbench]

It's all creepy tracking. You may have searched for 'kitchen renovation" or "best new ranges" or something and viking has the money to follow you around the internet and bombard you with ads. Cookie tracking is supposed to end sometime before 2023 from my understanding.

[@ljlatorre1943]

Do you have any plans available?

[@ikust007]

15:00 Charles Hayward (form a book of LAP) doesn’t glue at the end. Only half length . So the wood can move without forcing the whole system. I thought it was a great trick. Didn’t do it yet

[@IntrepidFox94]

Great job and a very good video.

[@ikust007]

6:04 hence the sumitsubo ;)

[@ikust007]

Bravo !! Almost missed it damn. Thank you

[@FranksWorkbench]

😀

[@arth.4196]

Do you prefer just using Manual Hand Tools 🔧 🤔?

[@FranksWorkbench]

Yep, sometimes not sure if I use hand tools to build things or build things to use hand tools lol

[@mr.shellcracker9161]

How many coats of the varnish oil do you put on your projects?

[@FranksWorkbench]

1-2. If the surface prep was good one usually does it, if the surface has grain running out or end grain that wasn't burnished no # of coats will fix the dullness

[@owenclint4455]

This is the second video of yours I’ve watched. I subbed

[@FranksWorkbench]

Thank you!

[@MrUltimate49er]

You should do a video of your pipe collection. Would like to see them.

[@FranksWorkbench]

They're my father in law's, I really don't know too much about them

[@smarsalis65]

Masterful!

[@bang_bro321]

keren bro...👍

[@Mutant_11]

Very nice.

[@ManuelGarcia-ww7gj]

Bravo!

[@VinceEspositoJr]

Looks great. FYI - I have made a couple of cherry pieces (simple stuff) and I have been applying a finish that Chris Becksvoort has uses on his cherry shaker furniture that produces a very nice finish. It's 50% T&T Oil Varnish like you are using and 50% Epifanes Rubbed Effect Clear Satin Varnish (no UV protectors which allows the cherry to darken). You rub it off after an hour and burish in between coats with 4-0 steel wool. It's never disappointed me and provides a durable finish.

[@FranksWorkbench]

Cool thank you!

[@mattlong6359]

Nice !!

[@jennessalynam7682]

Badass unique joinery! Absolutely loved watching you create such a beautiful piece of furniture.

[@FranksWorkbench]

Thanks so much!

[@mr.shellcracker9161]

Great display shelf. You're prolific. I don't blame you for firing up the tablesaw. I use to do everything with hand but bought a bandsaw awhile back and it makes everything so much faster. I even resaw my boards to thickness.

[@FranksWorkbench]

Thanks man, totally agree

[@stevelowe5985]

I love the precision of your work

[@FranksWorkbench]

Thanks!

[@JuanRivera-wm2um]

Quality work. Great job.

[@FranksWorkbench]

Thank you sir!

[@richardrodgers1883]

Looks like your doing a great job on this. Also look's like you may have watch some of Paul Sellers videos by the way you are doing the dados , he does some fantistc work with hand tools if you haven't watched him.

[@FranksWorkbench]

Thanks man! Yes his book was my intro to hand tool joinery. Have done dados probably 5 diff ways at this point and still like the simplest way best

[@awantamta]

Again, a beautiful, hand crafted piece of furniture. You are truly inspirational. I'll forgive you for using that electrical thing !

[@FranksWorkbench]

Haha thanks! 🤣

[@johnlandry7988]

Really love your style and quality of work. I plan to build a new workbench in the near future and wanted to know what type of wagon/tail vise you use on your bench. Keep up the great videos Frank!

[@FranksWorkbench]

Thanks man it's a veritas inset vise

[@TWC6724]

Curious if you have tried a black Arkansas stone yet? Looks like yours is the translucent? I’m thinking of trying one out.

[@FranksWorkbench]

Yes I have one and it works exactly the same as the translucent, there is probably a slight difference but it's really splitting hairs at that point, IMO. I don't use the black much bc it's 3" wide and found that with oil stones 2" is actually better (and cheaper).

[@TWC6724]

Looks great Frank. I like the shape of the sides of the shelves. I know Texas heat! My garage shop in our last house faced the west setting sun. Talk about working in a sauna. You should get a mini split on your outside wall. That would tremendously help.

[@FranksWorkbench]

Thanks man and that's a great idea!

[@ianpearse4480]

A thing of beauty for sure.

[@FranksWorkbench]

Thanks!

[@frankagee3157]

Like the pipe collection. I stopped it there and looked them over well. I have a couple that may be the same as two of yours. Hard to tell for sure from the video. I do like the shelf you made for them. Especially the center dado. Great work, keep it up, and thanks again. I need to work on my pipe collection some.

[@FranksWorkbench]

Thanks man, these are my father in laws

[@Postfrogish]

It's always a joy to watch you work. What you share on YT is everything I love about woodworking. I hope you will keep it up.

[@FranksWorkbench]

Right on man, thank you!

[@kalebnab575]

The best thing about your videos is how sharp you keep your tools. Surgically sharp. Also love your use of cherry, one of the best

[@FranksWorkbench]

Thanks man I love cherry too

[@KevinOMalleyisonlysmallreally]

I really love your work and I've learned a bit from watching you. I've started using your method for cutting dados and I like it a lot. If you set a patreon I'll be first in line.

[@FranksWorkbench]

Awesome man thanks so much and glad to hear that it's working well for u!

[@elliotgoodine954]

Beautiful! I'm new to woodworking so I wanted to ask something about chisel technique: what's the rationale for cutting the mortise edge with the bevel edge of the chisel instead of the flat edge in some moments, like at 7:54?

[@FranksWorkbench]

I often use the flat side when working on the edge towards me and the bevel when working the edge away from me. But not always. No rules really, just whichever feels more comfortable

[@e139439]

Very high quality work as always, I hope you share a video showing how you sharpen your plane blade, that thing moves so smooth

[@FranksWorkbench]

May have to do that next. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@stephengriffith1605]

Very nice work. I do miss been able to get back to the cabinet making Keep up the great work

[@FranksWorkbench]

[@FranksWorkbench]

[@speedrrracer]

Great design on the through tenons, really catches the eye.

[@FranksWorkbench]

Thank you I agree!

[@TheSMEAC]

Thanks Frank! I enjoyed the build. I hadn’t ever tried the tenon in support of dado before reading Mike Pekovixh’s first book; the first use went into the first Dutch Tool Chest. It was not as easy (at least to me on first try) at it could have been, but then too I think that I was dealing with a much wider carcass had a vote in the matter. I really think something on the scale you did here is far more appropriate for anyones first attempt and would recommend at least trying it once to all your viewers; especially if you have the place to attempt first on a shop fixture you’re building. As always, I enjoy your content brother and the degree to which you use handtools probably most nearly matches my power to handtool ratio of any YT creator I follow. You are filling an important niche in the creator space and I hope you’re continually encouraged. 👍

[@FranksWorkbench]

I appreciate your comment and encouragement very much! I'll have to look into his book, Ive seen pics of his work here and there and it's incredibly good

[@TheSMEAC]

@@FranksWorkbench his most recent book “Foundations of Woodworking” builds on the first and is technically more beneficial to me. His first is a practical look at his philosophy and is also really good. They can be read in any order (especially in your case since you’ve got experience in those subjects he covers in the second). The first is “Why and How of Woodworking” and really focuses on getting the most out of shop time. The most beneficial part of his new book to me was his method (a system really) of marking all parts consistently throughout a project; I know I have my methods, but I didn’t have a true system… now I do. You think of a build who’s got many units of work that come together as a greater unit of work and marking can really go a long way in choosing reference edges and faces that will complement operations further down the build plan when they begin interacting with others. He also breaks down in the second book, a more clear eyed approach to timber/cut/grain use in construction to capitalize on form, function, and playing well with others. He really is all about fluent execution of joinery and intertwines projects throughout each chapter. I think the second book will help projects more closely emerge as you intended in your minds eye with more precise execution and his first book will help with productivity and ultimately add to the enjoyment of working in the shop. Usually my go to book recommendations are: -Schwarz’ Anarchist Series; yes, all three. (AWB is free in PDF as a double barrel middle finger to Popular Woodworking since they wouldn’t sell him the rights to his work❤️) -Becksvoort’s “With the Grain” -Walker/Tolpin’s “By Hand & Eye” -Vol III of Charles Hayward’s work: “Joinery” -Peter Galbert’s “Chairmakers Notebook” While the first and third are beneficial to even some beginners if they at least mechanically inclined in the slightest and are beneficial to all woodworkers of every age, stripe, and experience level. If I were to have a young man approach me right now showing genuine interest in beginning hand tool wood working with a foundation in hybrid work, I’d buy them Mike Pekovich’s two books and I think they’d faster make the shift to selling off those powertools to support their desire for timber and handtools 😉. PS: Even if you never build a chair, the Chairmaker’s Notebook is a treasure chest of knowledge and thought starters on improving every facet of ‘making’. Sorry I got long winded 😁 Just my fractured thoughts 👍

[@FranksWorkbench]

@@TheSMEAC I haven't read several of those and just ordered a few, looking forward to reading. For anyone else who happens upon the post the two books I'll add that I've gotten a ton of value from are Working Wood 1&2 Paul Sellers which is amazing, a very practical kind of a "quick start" woodworking but the only downside for a beginner is the projects basically assume all boards come from the store flat and square. and 2. Essential Woodworker Robert Wearing, very solid companion to Paul Sellers' book
