Last week I tried to stain pine with a Mahogany colour and honestly it looked shit so I applied linseed oil and tried to apply again with the same shitty result 😡 Ive stained hardwood with no problems but for some reason pine didn't work 🙁

[@jeffhreid]

Good design

[@timmiller6874]

lets go brandon!

[@philiprichter1184]

Like your thru dowels.

[@Lutzboater]

Very nice bench. Love the look that the dowels give the bench.

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Tom P thank you!

[@Pyroesuna]

Simple and beautifully made. Very well done.

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Thank you!

Very nice 👏👏

[@MW-xv1sj]

Beautiful results. It looks pretty sturdy. I have four kids, two of whom are insane eight years old so i really appreciate ideas for strong furniture. When I built their bunk beds I had in mind a tornado and a landslide coalescing into evil ginger twins.

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Haha always fun

[@toniwalker-rose4028]

I love the way this turned out. I might need one for my house.

Great looking bench. Great tip with squaring the mitersaw. A real bummer to realise you were 1-2 degrees off after all the cuts have been made

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Nice video Brandon! What are you going to build next?

[@WalkersWoodworks]

KnottyDogWoodshop Thanks Oscar! I'm not sure what the next video will be but I have a few builds coming up!

[@tjerkheringa937]

Not much going on due to covid. But thanks for asking.

[@SubZeroLogisticsLLC]

Great job. Really like it. What are the dimensions?

[@caixasgames6691]

Show 👏👏👏

[@billpaterson9046]

I recently found some 4 in x 8 inch x 21 inch chunks of wood. I think these would be good for bench legs- can you think of any other uses?

[@WalkersWoodworks]

They would definitely work for that.

[@Humble_King_Ali]

6:08 That's what she said. lol

[@sullyprudhomme]

Is your opinion that dowels add more strength than the glue-up alone? How do dowels compare to driving long woodscrews in (and then covering with a wood plug)? (Nice job BTW).

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Definitely stronger than screws 👍

[@freetobe3]

Could this be up scaled just a bit as a desktop table for a PC and would adding metal C's throughout the bottom be preferred?

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Yea it would work fine.

[@jasonanderson1154]

Nice work. What species of wood is that?

[@sandman2651]

Hi brandon, great vid also watched some of your other vids really like the way you explain what your doing and why, liked and subscribed looking forward to seeing more content from you

[@WalkersWoodworks]

mike nicholas Thanks Mike! My goal is to try to teach and help people with the knowledge I have as I go. That means alot and I appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Have a great day!

[@matthewgrossman4032]

Very NIce build. I am incorporating some of your ideas into a console table. A question if I may. It seemed you put the dowels in after the initial glue up. Is there a reason you do it that way instead of dowelling it and gluing everything at the same time?

[@WalkersWoodworks]

No reason. Probably should put them in first honestly lol.

[@samvaldivia3933]

Looks good. Have you made something like this before?

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Sam Valdivia thanks! I have made benches but not like this one.

[@scotthixson5917]

Funny that your woodpecker square is worth more than you biscuit joiner.

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Haha true story! 😂😂

[@jenniferw8963]

@@WalkersWoodworks I watched a video that showed biscuit really don't provide any strength. Much better with dowel or domino or even kreg. Dowelmax did a comparison of domino and their dowel jig and the dowels won , interestingly.

[@WalkersWoodworks]

J G that's true. The biscuits are mostly just for alignment.
