Amazing how firmly you can hold work with a clever combination of wedge, peg, dog, hook & brake! The lack of wobble is testament to how well you have made this 😎

That bench is magnificent. Even without knowing Thai, I'm mostly following along because I use one myself and you do a great job demonstrating. I also noticed your mallet made from purple heart!
@hai99noiАй бұрын
@@agluebottle Thank you for your good words and the visit. I am glad that you spent your time watching despite the language barrier. The mallet is made from the Siamese Redwood. It’s not easy to get the purple heat in Thailand. I suspect that the he Redwood may have the similar densities as the Purple Heart though. This mallet I made when I started to do woodworking about 10 years ago and it is still functioning well with some dent.

Thank you, it's a good way to practice on being cautious aside from physical injury. The wax finished helps to restore the nice surface from scratches. FYI, the wood of this bench is from the teakwood tree I planted over 30 years ago. It died and I air dried it for about 5 years. Have a good day.

@@hai99noi To make my response I had to use a translation program (I am sad to say). Perhaps one day I will be successful learning Thai. I do love Thailand and the Thai people and missed them when I visited home. Both now have a special place in my heart. I am curious do you have any advice for finding affordable wood? I have found it challenging to find wood suitable for making a bench (western or roman) especially when it comes to quality hardwoods. I do not care if it is fancy or not, most interested in functionality. Also, I wanted to comment on your English. It is very good! Well thank you for your time Sir. Have a great day!

@@buzzyeee-c9c I am glad that you have developed a positive attachment to Thailand and the Thai. I believe that one day you will be fluent in Thai because you have set a resolution to do so. I think the economy way to get wood to build a sturdy workbench is to use a 2x4 hardwood and joint them to make the top. The cheaper way is to use plywood laying on top of each other to the desired thickness. Are you in any of the Thai woodworking group? Occasionally, they have a class to build a workbench and all the materials are provided. At the end of the class, you would take home the workbench you build. Where about are you in Thailand? I live in Chiangmai and if you are by any chance in the area you are welcome to visit my shop and we can exchange knowledge about woodworking.

Hi love the design. What are the butterfly joints for? Just to hold 2 boards together? Thanks. If someone cud translate that wud be amazing too 😊
@hai99noi2 ай бұрын
@@maxwaldburg4286 Thank you for your visit and the good words. Yes, the butterfly joints are for holding the 2 sides of the boards together. The two boards are actually from the same teak tree that I planted 30 some years ago. It died from some mysterious reason. I had the tree cut out to lumber after air dried for a few years. Sadly the center one which was cut to the thickness of 4 inches cracked in the middle. I decided to cut the lumber at the crack and joining them with glue and the butterflies. The separating pieces made it easier to flatten by my jointer and the planer.

Thank you for your visit and sorry that I spoke in Thai. The teakwood that I used to build this bench is the wood from the tree I planted 30 some years ago. It died from some mysterious reason. After the cutting to a lumber, it was air dried for about 3 years before I use it. The whole assembly don't use any metal fasteners.
