Hi John, Beautiful work bench. I am moving to Bracebridge in July but doubt that I will ever actually use a workbench.

[@JohnHeisz]

Good luck with the move :)

[@UndeadSpaceMonkey1]

Can we all just take a sec to appreciate all the work it takes for John too even make a video like this. Just editing alone is astounding not even to mention the building and filming of it. Always enjoyed your videos John

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks !

[@felipeduayer4981]

Said it all! Truly appreciated!

[@BraveNewWorld-1984]

Don't forget with today's prices of wood, he's surrounded by millions of dollars. It's not like it grows on trees. 😕

[@sidsampat1]

Probably one of the finest practical builds on KZbin

[@kaumohlamonyane272]

I am always impressed with the homemade table saw. I notice it in every single video

[@ConcreteLand]

Or the homemade everything!

[@davelowe1977]

Not only is the build brilliant but this video really was a pleasure to look at. The lighting, focus, colour balance, depth of field, framing and sound were all spot on.

[@thedeloachsdoyoutube8377]

I would just like to send you a personal congratulations on hitting 1 million. It’s all a numbers game and I know it really doesn’t say anything other than your hard work is finally paying off. Good work John beautiful.

[@andrewv5104]

Beautiful work bench John. This is a great example of your top notch craftsmanship and dare I say artistry?

[@theobromon]

I would gladly use that workbench as my dinner table and pass it down through generations! That's what you get when beauty meet functionality! Pure awesomeness!

[@billymacmakes]

That top looks like a dining table it's so gorgeous!! Well done. 👏

[@paulhirst3548]

Very nice John. Watching your builds on a Saturday morning with a coffee is something I really look forward to. Thank you.

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks Paul :)

[@rafvdp6391]

Best bench build ever on KZbin, certainly if you consider that it's build with minimal tools and John designed it from A to Z with easy to find materials that doesn't cost you an arm and a leg. Congrats on this beautiful build John 👏👏. If there is a price ” best value for your money ” you win it! No competition.!

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks :)

[@AquaPeet]

Awesome, John!! Not only does it look like it could do its job well for years and years; it is so pleasing to the eye with all the beautiful details. Something to be proud of, 'even' as an advanced woodworker.

[@phoenixada5071]

Ich bin beeindruckt von diesen handwerklichen Fähigkeiten und dieser Kreativität. Schönes und lehrreiches Video. Toll 👍

[@JGV_IX]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone with such an amazing understanding of wood as a material than you. Very impressive work!

[@keggyification]

That is one gorgeous workbench John. A real thing of beauty with a practical purpose.

[@bigburlymikesmswoodworking]

Absolutely a beautiful piece of craftsmanship in that workbench.

[@jw-creations6522]

I'm not as far north as you, but this morning it's 38*f in my shop! Great video, as always. I've learned so much watching you and I'm still learning. I'm finally going to build myself a quality workbench that'll last. My current bench/outfeed table/assembly table was slapped together out of necessity and I'm not happy with it. Watching this video I realized this is the perfect bench for me and exactly the right size for my small shop. I bought the plans and will build this when it warms up a little! Thank you for all the great videos and information you provide us. Oh, I also joined Makers Mob.

[@geowhyrock]

You continue to impress, John. I notice your audio quality is better than the past. Really well done.

[@StikZ13]

An absolute master piece.

[@brunofonseca9686]

John is on a different woodworking level. Always a pleasure to watch, kudos from Brazil.

[@9and7]

ONLY John could build and Ultimate Workbench and improve on it less than 2 months later... Unreal video today John, unreal....it has buttons now!!!

[@deliaguzman1138]

Really appreciate the peek at your use of a guide block to cut the dovetails!

[@AndreaArzensek]

The bench looks absolutely stunning! I'd never guess it was made with MDF and plywood in the middle. Great work there John!

[@jeffforbes3772]

Always great to find an I Build It video waiting in my queue. Thanks John!

[@sergiofilosofo3355]

Not a workbench, but a piece of beauty I would use as dinning table, wow!

[@krtwood]

It's the ultimate workbench because you'll do excellent work at it. That's all that matters.

[@CplMAC1144]

Absolutely amazing, as always. I love how you basically make all of your tools.

[@jimgraham4673]

What a beautiful work bench. definitely an heirloom piece.

[@michaeloswald3589]

John you are a true craftsman. I love the work bench/toolbox combo. Nice job!

[@regularguy9264]

I am going to watch the video in pieces. And then I will watch again a couple of times. So many cool things to think about here

[@randsipe224]

It’s a beaut! Some great ideas too. I especially like the lever that lifts the dog on the shuttle.

[@DdlkRO]

Mr. Heisz... is always a pleasure to watch your videos and your smart projects. Respect! Great work! Congrats!

[@Omarateastwind]

Very nice! Love how the top came out with the quartersawn strips...

[@jcoul1sc]

gREAT BENCH, INTERESTING DESIGN FEATURES, LOTS (sorry caps lock on) to steal! Watched few other benches, this is truly great.

[@juergengmeiner5937]

The best Workbench I've ever seen! 🤓👍

[@Ibaneddie76]

You are freaking talented big dog! I'm a wood worker too (kind of) I build guitars, I really appreciate your attention to detail and I can see you strive to be an individual with your craft!

[@Forrest_C]

Awesome workbench! Just noticed you're channel is over 1 mil now. Congrats!

[@rockinHurley777]

Your

[@RobSchweitzer]

Stunning! And while I've been watching your videos for a while I'm still in awe at the results you get with primarily homemade tools, it's incredible

[@act.13.41]

Yes, he really is an artist. What gets me is the comments of folks complaining about the fact that they cannot do these things because they don't have, or can't afford all the awesome tools. They could make those tools too. There are so many videos on this channel showing how to do it. Some just like to complain. SMH

[@rafvdp6391]

@@act.13.41 i agree, he is an artist. No idea how they can 👎a build like this? There are some sad people around if you can't appreciate work like this.

[@davidpisarski5620]

This is a brilliant way to make a work of art bench on a budget!

[@louisfkoorts5590]

Lovely to behold. All this, is more than meets the eye. Appreciated John.

[@wolfman75]

Awesome!!! Very Nice!!! I Am A Mob Member Already😁👍 Thank You For Sharing!!!!👍😎😃

[@philshock3805]

Beautiful bench, John - nothing else like it on the planet! I love the use of laminated MDF for the top's core - that's gotta be one seriously dense surface! Creative genius on full display. Again. :)

[@clydedecker765]

Finally, a work bench that I REALLY like. Great work John.

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks 👍

[@alans1816]

That's a very practical approach to a very flat and stable

[@alans1816]

Top. Not to mention all the other good ideas that flashed by.

[@needfulthings2701]

An extraordinarily intelligent solution, perfectly crafted! Absolutely inspiring!

[@bonniebarber6114]

Truly the ULTIMATE WORKBENCH!! Awesome build ❤️

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks Bonnie :)

[@AbouzarKaboudian]

This is an absolute work of art John! Amazing design and superb craftsmanship 👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌

[@JWimpy]

That's the most beautiful bench I've ever seen. The top is amazing.

[@daifeichu]

That really is the ultimate workbench. Great build video. Really enjoyed it. Someday I'll clean my workshop out and have room to build this workbench. It will be something to look forward to.

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks! I just used it to do a bit of work and put the first dents in :)

[@szcustomwoodworks6401]

This bench is absolutely beautiful. And so many functional features. I really like that hide away (I want to call it a "deadman").

[@abbycasanova1380]

Wow! Superb! EXPERT! An inspiration to newbies like me

[@Drew-de7ey]

Nice to see some fresh ideas in bench design using modern materials and classic looks. Great features, too. Nicely done, John!

[@ЗадумчивыйПрофессор]

You are brick, John. Thank You from Russia.

[@allenbourassa1579]

Thank you John for your video!Your work bench looks like a Work of Art!!! Beautiful!!!!

[@dakotamax2]

Genius core design, gorgeous and useful outcome.

[@ibodevelopment3187]

The work bench turned out great, something that can last a lifetime

[@keithb3115]

John what a beautiful piece. Way beyond my capabilities but maybe someday. Thanks for the effort and sharing.

[@ppezaris]

what a sweet bench! and made from otherwise pedestrian materials. congratulations, it's truly remarkable. one of your best projects, if not your best project, to date.

[@ecaff9515]

Awesome...Excellent video and process. I love everything about Your Ultimate Workbench. Repurposing where needed and using old techniques for that Master Craftsman touch. Just plain Beautiful work of art. Thank you for taking me on your journey. Truly inspiring...

[@ianpritchard9993]

One of the nicest benches I have seen here on youtube. Great work!

[@OllyParryJones]

I love it, John. There's a lot of snobbery against the use of man-made sheets in a workbench. But this is so well thought and really looks the part. Thanks very much for sharing!

[@oliverlukossek7214]

Bin begeistert von deiner Arbeit, richtig klasse

[@madmikemakes3056]

Love the way you tackle your projects John. I'm building Roubo bench and I'm really glad I watched this video. Great video and beautiful bench.

[@pauldargue]

An amazing work bench your work is amazing

[@wolfparty4234]

John, what a wonderful work bench!! Thanks for sharing

[@MrGordonendersby]

Stunning looking bench

[@mattbowers5342]

John, this is a work of art!

[@waltherlorenz7390]

very, very genious making

[@ADVBear]

Unbelievably beautiful, John. I know the dovetails were not necessary, but they came out incredible. Well done, mate.

[@LostWhits]

This is a great bench, thanks for making this version available. Lots of useful tips in this.

[@LostWhits]

Really enjoyed the build articles on your website too. The Deadman seems cool, I didn't quite understand it from the video.

[@danieltaylor8347]

Very very cool workbench! Great work John!

[@janhedberg9316]

Very nice. Well thought out design and great craftsmanship.

[@turb0b0ytim]

GREAT JOB, John! I love the hefty MDF top, finished to individual specifications.

[@errolandbeth]

Another great video and awesome workpiece John. I’ve been a subscriber of your channel before you were at 100k and have enjoyed every video. Congrats on hitting 1 million. You’re an inspiration.

[@befmx31]

Wow, what a great build. Bench looks fantastic.

[@vikassm]

Production quality of your videos are going through the roof 😂😂 My2¢: For those who don't have a tap on hand, Drill A hole through both the nut and bolt, drive a nail through and bend the tip (or use a proper retaining pin/split pin/cotter pin)

[@KyleMerl]

Best lookin workbench I've seen on KZbin. I don't have a shop to build this in yet but I'm buying plans anyway so you get paid for a job well done!

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks Kyle :)

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

Hey John! This is my third time watching this workbench build. I think everything you build from the art pieces to the clamps is brilliant, but this workbench is exceptional to me. It itself is an art piece, being both functional and beautiful. You are very clever and love watching you create and seeing no Bessy Clamps in your shop. Personally, they are just another overpriced, over-marketed tool that you sir, have proven handmade clamps can be made better than commercial clamps for way less money. I would love for you to do a tour of your kitchen, and studio. Perhaps that could be a video to use when you don't feel like building somnething? Just a thought. Have a great weekend!!

[@LariFariYoutube]

This is a absolutely amazing workbench.. It came out fantastic. Hats off, John...hats off...

[@cyberdogk9au]

You guys in the States always have such beautiful lumber. We only have crappy pine and Tassie Oak.

[@juginstr1019]

Thank you for the informative video!.Design,quality, practicality, perfect.I'll try to build it.Good luck and creative success.

[@lyteyearz5810]

Dove tails by hand? My hats off to you!
