Interesting seeing you edge out the pieces instead of just making two cuts

[@awldune]

I actually REALLY like this circular inset you put in for the narration.

[@Absfor30]

Wholeheartedly agree!

[@eddie8730]

It's too distracting

[@RexusKing]

It's hilarious and functional to me

[@donaldmumaw]

Great video John! I still watched the whole thing again...

[@drreason2927]

There are lots of good woodworkers, but few masters. You sir are a true master.

[@zan5051]

Love the Picture-In-Picture talking head! I havn't seen that style of video editing hardly ever, really sets you apart!

[@brainfornothing]

Wow ! I didn't realiza you already have 1 M subscribers ! Congratulations ! Take care, be happy and thanks for sharing !

[@ACFHeart]

I learn a new woodworking technique/trick with each video. Thanks for the upload and efforts putting it together for others!!

[@edroethler4254]

Hi John, Really love your work, projects, and your great craftsmanship!! I also made a bench with rectangular dogs, and instead of a wooden spring, I utilized a short length of metal pallet banding. This is a great, simple spring for this application.

[@o.g.bwoodwork]

Fantastic design! I love how well laid out your workshop is. Very pleasing to watch.

[@jimmyh1983]

I like this style of video...with the talking head in the corner describing what / why things are happening in the video.

[@marcsenteney3160]

That looks like a beautiful table build! A lot of thought went into it! Well done sir!

[@zfotoguy71]

great tips for making the bench dogs. I have to say you are far braver than I am getting your fingers so close to the router bit.

[@ARichli]

...being "braver" the euphemism of the day

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

John this was timely for me. I have an antique cabinet maker been that has been in my family for several centuries and I miss place the rectangle steel bench dogs. They are in my shop somewhere, but in the meantime, I can make a couple of these until I find the other two. I'm reorganizing the shop and have most everything in boxes until I finish with the cabinets. I knew I should have labeled the boxes!!

[@IanSebryk]

it has been a real pleasure watching your craft develop over the years. you are an amazing craftsman, well on your way to being a truly unique artisan. thank you for sharing your work John.

[@holzmotte]

I'm amazed every time I see your workbench. It is both visually and functionally fantastic!👍👍👍👍👍

[@rickrudd]

The bench video and this are some of, if not THE best things I've seen you do. That's saying a lot, because I love all your stuff - but these last two have been nothing short of fine art. The work is absolutely beautiful and your vid production is flawless.

[@chm1701]

You’re such a great resource. I like the way you present your videos and the workbench looks incredible. I think when I’m ready to upgrade mine, I’ll definitely take you up on a patreon subscription too, so I can access this build. I do understand that content creators need to make money too (understandably), but I’m never really blown away by paywall videos, but your pricing looks very reasonable and accessible for all. I really appreciate that, especially at these difficult times. Thanks.

[@hermanderidder9212]

Following you for almost a decade. You keep me amazing John.

[@jgriff19861947]

It is amazing how you make all your own machine and the ideals that go into it you are a great teacher.

[@theobserver1219]

Because of you and mathais! My woodwork improves! Keep inspiring me!

[@bluehawkworkshop160]

When I move in a few months and build a new bench, I definitely have to integrate a wagon vice like that. Also love the way you cut down the dog by dragging it across the blade; seems so much more efficient than going through it a thousand times. Can't wait for the full build!

[@robertbutler4393]

Great video, John. Very impressed with your intelligent, creative workmanship. Good stuff.

[@allenbourassa1579]

I love your Workbench with matching wood! Cant wait for the finished project!!

[@BergflitzerFoto]

Es ist ein Vergnügen für die Augen 🤩 wenn man so eine HOCHWERTIGE Arbeit sehen kann-Die Umsetzung der Filmarbeit ist auch sehr gut gemacht-TOP ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beste Grüße von Bergflitzer Foto Dieter 🎥📸

[@johnraffensperger]

Love the spring on the dogs. Maybe add a peg to support the glue?

[@kevinpettigrew4792]

I really enjoy the editing and split screen effect you did in this video

[@andrebourque2165]

Your shop has really blossomed from the days of Knot Art.

[@robertbrunston5406]

Looks very good John! Thank you for sharing.

[@thehighwayman78]

Wow. Everything you make is just so inspiring! Thank you!

[@Murderous5]

Bro! I love the throat plate on your chopper. Very cool.

[@Afraithe]

Design looks almost exactly like our old woodworking school benches here in scandinavia. I have one in my workshop but its kid-sized and kind of small and low, was planning to refit the undercarriage to get it up to better height, also missing some dogs so might copy that design.

[@RichEklund]

Holy crap. I never thought of using my table saw angle finder (tilt box) to determine level on other things such as my workbench. And it was only shown in passing at 4:56. lol

[@littlefallsworkshop]

I like the editing on hammering in the dowels near the end. i may join Locals just to see more of that. ;)

[@CitizenAyellowblue]

That’s a great workbench John!

[@samueldavis5895]

Just found your channel you’re a master! Thanks for sharing. I’m in the middle of building my first split top out of red oak

[@baconsoda]

This is a great build.

[@datoall1648]

Good work as usual, informative and you make it look easy John

[@FranksDIY]

nice job John. You always have great ideas

[@FatClumsyGoat]

Loved the edit on this John! Oh also kickass project as always too!

[@HowIDoThingsDIY]

That's a serious work bench. I'm jelly.

[@sddiymakeitworthit7512]

Yes we watch your last video and all the other and we keep continue because we 👍 it

[@ericdeguilo1181]

So cool! It’s lookin great!!

[@massimoscabin1893]

Complimenti,adoro i tuoi video,insegnano molto,grazie per la condivisione

[@hassanal-mosawi4235]

Thanks for sharing those tips!

[@MCsCreations]

Really, really interesting process, John! 😃 Thanks a lot! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@Ham68229]

This is becoming quite the awesome build. Great video, cheers :)

[@Uncle_Buzz]

1:25 - Love the Table-Saw-Safety-Nerd trolling. :D

[@jameswebster9048]

Hi John thanks for another great video. It was very pleasing to watch and I love the cinematography of it. Also the picture-in-picture narration bubble was a nice touch.

[@xRickyWilx]

LOL at the finger shot!

[@darylzorn7037]

Brilliant, learned a lot. Thanks

[@bhomaster2413]

You are relaxing person very Talent thank you

[@peternewman9713]

Clever editing, John. 😉

[@andredionne7769]

de très bonne idée beau travaille

[@sparrowhawk3422]

Just found (and subbed) to your channel. great video, and your workshop looks awesome!

[@MuhammadDaudkhanTV100]

Fantastic idea

[@asafindy]

Trivia: John Heisz did NOT use any camera equipment or editing software to create this video. Rather, he painstakingly fashioned the entire video out of walnut and maple.

[@ksouliman]

Do you have your woodworking academy , your knowledge is valuable and need to be transferred to other generations

[@robertt5992]

Love those bench dogs

[@passionenamorada8188]

Me encanta ver sus videos, tiene trabajos geniales. Entiendo lo que hace pero no entiendo lo que dice, supongo que será algo parecido, pero le agradeceré si pone subtítulos en español. Gracias. Un Abrazo desde Perú.

[@tianjinghan1]

Hey John, huge fan fo your work. I was watching an old video of yours called "How To Make A Wooden OTF Switchblade" and I was wondering if you could give me a link to the blueprint. I saw in some parts of the video that there was a piece of paper that had all the measurements of the parts. Thanks a lot.

[@leomeilak6532]

Why I can’t find earlier videos for this bench

[@karolmalewski486]

I love your workshop and your videos. I wish to have a half of the skills you do. #ENVY😉😁

[@tjacksonwoodworker3726]

looking good..

[@jbkibs]

lmao.. the little video image on your fingernail.

[@natehaack4999]

Like the picture in picture a lot. Great video

[@MrBAchompBAchomp]

Works like his fingers will grow back on their own 😂

[@Nono-hk3is]

John, does this mean you intend to use planes and card scrapers more often? I suspect it's just that you can't help but make beautiful and clever furniture.

[@leiwulong_og]

Ooh I like the new picture in picture when you do the voice over. 👍

[@keithrichardsson9008]

Jesus John from no organization to oh my God, everything in it's place. Did you get married or something? Great program as usual.

[@Craftlngo]

as a mechanical engineer, it amazes me always how much can be achieved just using wooden parts instead of Metal. Wood as a mechanical element doesn't get enough valued in these days.

[@RambozoClown]

Cry 'Havoc!' and let slip the dogs of wood.

[@raystinger6261]

The talking head at the corner feels like I'm watching a John Waters movie.

[@rafvdp6391]

Just watched the whole video over again and realized how difficult it must be to come up with titles and thumbnails because i’m struggling to come up with something better then ” beautiful work John ” 🤪 nevertheless i’m right in my statement! 👍

[@marc_frank]

1:24 i see what you did there ;)

[@hitfield]

Top demais 👊🏼👊🏼

[@janhedberg9316]

Elegant.

[@turb0b0ytim]

I love the floating head! Especially over your fingertip at the table saw. Good Form!

[@zebaazebaa1075]

انت اكثر من رائع وعبقرى

[@ryandamman5160]

John- is your video from a few years back of your deck build on sleepers still active? I was hoping to reference it but cannot find it at all. I know this is not relevant to this video. Thank you.

[@wolfgollnitz899]

Wow!

[@andypurbo]

Sir.. you are is wood engineer and film maker

[@dpmeyer4867]

cool

[@vinceearl4240]

You never showed us the final bench dogs in action at the end of the video :(

[@KipdoesStuff]

he showed it at the begining.

[@PavelKraus_webdesign]

In my opinion, the scandinavian workbench is much better than roubo. ❤️

[@krtwood]

I know you like to make everything out of hardware that's easily accessible, but a "nice" workbench need a left hand thread on the wagon vise.

[@FoodNotPharms]

Are you Paul Stamet's brother?

[@Nono-hk3is]

Hell yeah

[@jesuschristel9967]

Nice :)

[@winfriedfrenken5224]

Die Finger sind sehr nah an den Schneidwekzeugen ... besser mit Hölzern nachschieben

[@gsp0113]

I think you should prank everyone on April 1 with a video where, in each successive shot, you've got another finger missing, with the stump wrapped in a white cloth bandage.

[@Wordsnwood]

Nice title...

[@JohnHeisz]

It was either that or: "Who Let The Dogs In... To My Workbench" :)

[@Wordsnwood]

@@JohnHeisz Dog Day Afternoon?

[@JohnHeisz]

A bank robbery to pay for a sex change operation that results in a hostage situation and death might be the wrong association I'm looking for.

[@Wordsnwood]

@@JohnHeisz Oddly enough I've never seen the movie, and knew nothing about it, but somehow the title was in my head... Now that I've read the wiki page, I'll pass.

[@JohnHeisz]

Wasn't a bad movie. Just threw me off when the motive for the robbery was exposed.

[@jeffkerr7038]

Man uses homemade tools to make parts for more homemade tools which when finished will help him make more homemade tools.

Lovely Woodwork.. but i cant watch because of the bad safety.

[@kennethnielsen3864]

[@LutfiO]

I am not a woodworker, I'd like to watch that bench making videos, but I'm not intended to spend any money for that... Am I the only one who does not purseu any profit with the presented knowledge in these videos?
