Support what we do at www.kmtools.com The Katz-Moses Woodworkers with Disabilities Fund (KMWDF) is a non-profit that proudly supports woodworkers who have physical and mental disabilities by providing the resources they need to grow their hobby, craft or business. All too often, our fellow craftsmen and women with disabilities have a hard time obtaining the resources they need to pursue their passion and reap the rewards woodworking has to offer. Today we aim to make a huge positive impact in the maker with disabilities community by announcing our *Build Up Initiative* Here’s the basics: Follow the links below for more information. We are raising money for electric hoists and work holding tools to supplement the program below. We have created a semi-autonomous, first of it kind application system that pairs those who need help with those who can provide it. In addition we have created 3 step by step sets of plans that you can build for yourself or donate to the charity. All the proceeds from the plans go to the charity and the money we are raising to help buy electric hoists, work holding tools and fund general help for those that need it will be put to immediate use. If you don’t want to donate monetarily or by building something but want to get involved, we have created a tab within the same application system above to let you apply to be a helper. This means you can donate your time to people in your area who may need help with basic tasks like unloading a truck, assembling a newly donated tool, flipping over a table top etc. CHECK OUT THE LINKS BELOW FOR LOTS MORE INFORMATION ON HOW TO GET INVOLVED.

Thnks for sharing 👍👍

[@mykolashatkovskyi576]

You could use dowels to "screw" legs to the table - so, you'd still have traditional joinery only, while avoiding strugle with clamps, imho. Pls, correct, me if I'm wrong. Great project - love it - huge respect, dude!!!

[@CowDogCraftWorks]

Maybe. Haha. I’m trying to picture it in my head. Are you referring to just using dowel joinery from the legs to the bench surface?

[@jamesbarros950]

@@CowDogCraftWorks i am interpreting it as using your existing joinery except instead of clamping the legs which looked problematic, just drill, peg with dowls to hold it together during glue up but then leave the cut dowels as a nice aesthetic touch after, not dissimilar to the screw to peg transition you did on the bottom

[@kenmoffett9435]

I know this is an old vid but I just now found it. This is a perfect beginner project and one that will be useful. My son just moved into his first house and this will be a great project we can do together so he can start woodworking without having to build an expensive large heavy workbench like mine. Hell I will probably make one for myself as well. Keep up the good works.

[@CowDogCraftWorks]

Thanks! Yeah I still use the hell out of mine. I did it at the same height as my timber frame saw horses which are also on the channel so I can use them all in tandem if I need to.

[@danielhanawalt4998]

I can see a benefit having low work horses. Sometimes my saw horses are a bit too tall. Nice work and video.

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Chris, watching you work your wood always puts a smile on my face!

[@CowDogCraftWorks]

Hahaha thank you sir

[@katzmosestools]

Thanks for being a part of this great cause Chris. We are going to do amazing things within this really incredible community. Cheers

Thanks Jonathan! Looking forward to it.

Looking forward to seeing your name in the application field!

[@davejackson5989]

Chris. I really appreciate the work that you and Jonathan are doing. I work for a non-profit that supplies rental housing to individuals with IDD's and very low income levels to allow them to be part of the community.

[@CowDogCraftWorks]

Thats awesome Dave. Shoot me an email at [e-mail]. Perhaps there’s a way for us to work together.

[@LeeWeiler]

Just a gorgeous piece and for a great cause! Celebrate you, man. Awesome work!

I just discovered this channel while searching for wood hammer designs. Your fusion of traditional Japanese and Western style woodworking is - for me- a revelation and a breath of fresh air. I am especially impressed and encouraged to see not only the techniques employed but also an explanation that makes sense e.g. the name of the traditional Japanese joinery and then an immediate illustration of how to do it. In a word- inspirational. Thanks so much for sharing your love of the craft and sharing your love for woodworking. In Japan, they have a special designation for elders who teach skills to the next generation- Living National Treasure. Your approach is vying for that Honorific. Have subscribed and liked- not only to see what else you have going on, but to connect with the heart some more. This makes me think and FEEL. Domo Arigato!!

[@CowDogCraftWorks]

Damn dude. This is a ton to unpack. Thank you. I’m just over here trying push myself to continue to inspire folks and hope they learn a little something along the way. Thanks for watching and thanks for your support.

[@teagreentree66]

Отличная работа! Это видео вдохновляет к тому, чтобы взять в руки инструмент не обязательно японский! Спасибо большое!

[@CowDogCraftWorks]

Most welcome!

[@arrayofemotions]

What a lovely little bench. I have been looking for a small bench design because I have limited space. This seems like it would work well for me.

[@CowDogCraftWorks]

It works great! I use it on my porch often when I’m working small components.

[@jaygerig]

For gluing the legs I'd just put it on the floor and set a couple cinder blocks on it at most. Tight joints paired the compression/expansion technique should already be more than enough to ensure and effective glue up

[@CowDogCraftWorks]

This is not a bad idea.

[@wafflebeaver]

Man I want to make one of these now. It can double as a bench to put my shoes on too

[@CowDogCraftWorks]

Hahahaha yessss

[@tubenoteasy]

You got a shiny watch....!

[@CowDogCraftWorks]

Sure do. It's a vintage Rolex from my Dad. He gave it to me right before he passed. It doesn't leave my wrist often.

[@garagemonkeysan]

Great film. Awesome cause. (Made a donation.) Super useful bench. Rad detailing. Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@CowDogCraftWorks]

Thanks for your help and support my dude!

[@burkk4166]

Hey Chris.... how about draw-board pins in the joint? eliminates the need for clamps in the first place : )

[@CowDogCraftWorks]

In the dovetail?

[@slidersson]

That's great if you are really really really really short!

[@CowDogCraftWorks]

Or if you’re sitting. It’s at standard bench height. You can also adjust the height to whatever is tailored better to your body.

[@gXXrGoNe]

Great build and great program. I will befinitely be looking into how I may be able to contribute! A tip about blue tape and superglue: BourbonMoth uses plywood and superglues directly to the piece. Sine it's plywood he just smacks off the piece with a hammer and then sands down anything left over from the plywood. I will say that he uses hardwood. So I don't know what will give way first, the yellow pine or plywood? But on harder wood it definitely works.

[@CowDogCraftWorks]

Oh sweet! Yeah I’ve seen Matt Cremona do that too. Only problem is that I’m using the cut off from the workpiece to recreate the angle so it’s pretty difficult to get a functional angle like that to clamp with 3/4 ply. I suppose I could lam up a couple pieces of plywood. Who knows. The struggle continues.

Thats a great video I see your using traditional methods/japanese plus modern tools and machinist precision,I was gonna raz you about the man bun or is it the 90's pony tail?

[@CowDogCraftWorks]

You pick what it is my dude! It’s been gone for a minute. Haha. Thanks for watching.

[@jamesbarros950]

I absolutely love this project and the greater initiative. Can you tell me what the marking device you are using is? Is there an existing video I should check out?

[@CowDogCraftWorks]

There’s a handful I used. Is it the beveled marking gauge you’re referring to? Or is it the ink pot/ink line? Apologies it’s been a while since I made the video.

[@jamesbarros950]

@@CowDogCraftWorks sorry it looks like a paint brush and leaves a line like a Japanese calligraphy brush. Not sure I’d rely on it for thin dovetail lines, but it’s absolutely beautiful

[@CowDogCraftWorks]

@@jamesbarros950 yeah that’s a sumitsubo… Japanese ink line. They make smaller ones that can be used for furniture applications they also have more ornate ones. However, modernly a lot of people just use ink pen.

[@williammaxwell1919]

Solution ~ use double-sided tape instead of blue tape and glue

[@CowDogCraftWorks]

This is an acceptable idea.

[@leonlowenstadter9223]

To get the legs all to the same length, you should have measured from the bottom of the bench - assuming the thickness planer did what it is supposed to do.

[@CowDogCraftWorks]

That is indeed an option as well.

[@sportstertaco]

Very cool!! Great design. I think this would be a great tool in my shop. I have a question, what is it that you spray onto the end grain? I know you mentioned it in a past video.

[@CowDogCraftWorks]

So that’s just plain ol’ high quality h2o. I initially used denatured alcohol, then I went to a 50/50 denatured alcohol and water mix, now just straight water. If you’re using a super dark hardwood just make sure you dry it off after paring so that you don’t get coaster stains.

[@sportstertaco]

@@CowDogCraftWorks I appreciate it. Thanks!

[@toddstuart2853]

Great bench, I am going to buy the plans. I am interested in your marking knife, Have not seen on like that before. What is it?

[@CowDogCraftWorks]

It’s from DFM toolworks. That’s the right handed beta. Works great.

[@toddstuart2853]

@@CowDogCraftWorks Thanks, look forward to building the bench!

[@josemarioeggdemiranda2300]

What is the name of the tool that is used to secure the piece of wood that appears at 5:00? And what is the triangular cut on one of the edges of the bench for? Thanks.

[@CowDogCraftWorks]

That’s a holdfast. It’s basically a 400 year old device for clamping to a work surface through a dog hole.

[@CowDogCraftWorks]

Oh and the triangular cut is a birds mouth. Provides room for the saw to not cut into the bench when doing rip cuts
