The Most Uncomfortable Bench Money Can Buy

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

You knocked this one out of the park, Shaun!

[@ritnerritner1]

working in 3 different uses and meanings to the clip of you answering the phone on the bench is such a great artistic decision

[@WoLpH]

I really love this project. And it’s great to see a completely different style from the usual ones.

This video is a perfect amalgamation of fine woodworking and brilliant videography/narration. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Really fantastic.

[@shaunb66]

Thank you! Really happy to hear that.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

Really nice design Shaun! It's always fun to see those moments where things don't quite go to plan and you work through them. Awesome project and video!

[@shaunb66]

Thanks! There are always at least a couple of those moments.

[@TimberBiscuitWoodworks]

@@shaunb66 For sure!

Everyone else in the comments has already said it, but I’ll echo. Great design, great build, great piece. Thanks for sharing with all of us.

[@drew657]

I think this is my favorite of all your builds over the years. I want it by my front door! Great work, Shaun!

[@SwearingenTurnings]

Beautiful! I love watching your design and build progress. I'm terrible at design, but I can build from plans all day. You're helping me learn to think outside of the box.

[@shaunb66]

Really happy to hear that! Designing might be the hardest part, and it is something we can keep refining as long as we are willing.

[@JasonPeltier]

Storytelling is an art. Woodworking is an art. It's fitting to meld them. Your call is extremely important to us.

[@shaunb66]

Thanks Jason! Really appreciate it!

[@ShaneCarrigan]

Stunning work/design Shaun! I've been obsessed with slatted design recently. Sometimes the required 'mathing' can creep up on ya in a design, but builds are always so much more fun when you can wing some arbitrary dimensions/angles. I've also recently started employing the cutting out MDF templates on the X-Carve, and flush trimming on my piece and it is such a game changer (doing this on my current build). Thanks for bringing that skill to our attention 😊

[@shaunb66]

Glad to hear all that! Thanks for watching!

[@Craftlngo]

A really beautiful Bench! With lots of sharp edges a toddler could get hurt. Please keep him/her safe!

[@jscook54]

Since you asked--- Watts. I watched the Warby ad. And I love that bench. Really special.

[@shaunb66]

Thanks Janet!

[@hhaisus]

Such a beautiful piece! You guys really stand out, amazing designs, your story telling, editing, everything is spot on! ❤

[@AndrewLockwood889]

Beautiful piece

[@mattrinne]

Hey there, Shaun, it's me, Your old friend, Opportunity. Decided to call.

[@vincepopo7497]

“Uh Hello!?“ lol fantastic looking bench and I don’t think this is so crazy I couldn’t do it! I think I’m going to make us a garden bench like this with some appropriate wood species

[@chuckmeister6518]

Awesome piece. Great editing. Good job!

[@mmmmmmm8706]

Great design! More like this!

[@GabeSchultz1]

What a design!

[@jakobhalskov]

Love this playful design - it makes me want to built more wood stuff!

[@californiadaze]

Damn. That was incredible

[@Wordsnwood]

I must say that is a fascinating object in the thumbnail.

[@stephens2241]

I'm a newcomer to the channel so I'm only just seeing this video now. Beautiful work. I think it's possibly the world's first vaporwave bench design.

[@pauldent3059]

I really like that bench and think it would be an awesome hallway bench, so I think I'll make one but maybe use some sapele instead of walnut, and beech or Ash, depending what's available here in the UK.

[@Pop_Gordo]

Teams Watts Oh yeah. Project looks good as always

[@MariniProduction2021]

what you do is wonderful, from the design of the object to the production and finally to the video, I have recently started making "design" metal objects in my channel. I hope to be as good as you are someday😍

[@shaunb66]

Really appreciate it! Thanks!

[@jeremyspecce]

Awesome. Very different and yet it does sort of fit into your portfolio of work pretty nicely. This looks like it belongs in a gallery.

[@shaunb66]

Thanks man!

[@jMannette]

Absolutely beautiful ‘Organic’ piece. 😁

[@jtotheb-ip2hh]

cool design!

[@MrVonductch]

Damn! Great design!!!

[@danieldurkton2942]

Beautiful!! Great craftsmanship. Love your videos very informative.

[@rovidsonfirmino1024]

Amazing bench.

[@justinjones9255]

Beautiful design. I have the phone bench from my grandmother’s house that must be from the 30’s. My mother would love this modern take on it. I may just have to build it (with credit to you of course).

[@garagemonkeysan]

Great film. The bench is gorgeous. Love the design, simple yet complex. Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@shaunb66]

Thanks for watching!

[@owen8417]

I love the combination of shapes on this bench. I would love to have this in my entryway. Well done!

[@keithspencersr.6806]

Very beautiful

[@benjaqsonworkshop9974]

Beautiful piece - for me it's where woodworking becomes art.

[@Dragon_With_Matches]

Really cool bench!

[@dannielfriedrichsen7226]

Well done! Both the video and especially the bench style and build.

[@virtualfather]

Beautiful thoughts coming to life😊😊😊😊😊

[@marvin9er]

The Phone Call got me 😅🤣 I'll call you Back another Time 😄

[@WeebotTheRobot]

The Lyle glasses seem more relaxed. While the Watts glasses feel more professional.

[@gaffyh1745]

So unique, i think i went from Liking it to disliking it and back about 3 times! The phone at the end is what tied it altogether, i.e. giving that raised section a purpose. Definitely think you need to iterate on this design to see where the ideas go.

[@aze4308]

dude i got an ad right after you said telephone that started with someone picking up a phone and then screaming lmao

[@KomarProject]

Hello…. Dude I love this design. Such a great idea for a bench

[@shaunb66]

Thanks man!

[@MYWork_Production]

Интересный дизайн получился! Спасибо, что поделились! 😍😍😍

[@mithtermiketython]

The look at 3:17 made this whole video!! I think every YT woodworker should have at least one video dedicated to this look :)

[@paoloborgno1550]

Creativity and skills at their best 👍

[@watsini]

This bench is incredible Shaun. I thought the one-cup coffee table would always be my favorite, but this is definitely a contender!

[@torinhalsey6313]

That's stunning, Shaun. Well done. Reminds me if the Jetson's had wood furniture. :-)

[@edwarddrost5299]

"Lyle" glasses. the bench is a nice, easy design. The dimensions can be altered to give a shorter bench, with a taller table, and I can call it my "solo dining bench".

[@terristroh3965]

Great to see your build, Shaun! And I loved the phone. I have an old wall style dial phone I’ve been meaning to put in my shop with a sign that declares it the complaint hotline.

[@patrickquade6433]

Love it. Watching the video, I looked around my house and imagined a few places where I'd put something like this. This video is inspiring. Would be cool to see one of these slatted designs from you guys where the profile of each flat piece changes gradually on one side, from front to back to make a more 3D shape.

[@MarkCopeland]

Really inspiring back to get back to woodworking! Lyle suit you.

[@robshamel3210]

Beautiful work, and it fits my 2U classification: unique and useful. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheWeekendWoodshop]

What a beautiful piece. Well done.

[@nkabui8wnabnd8099999]

Brilliant design, process, fit and finish. Plenty of take home lessons here. Will be watching again.

[@gregmize01]

Super cool design!👍

Absolutely beautiful ‘Organic ‘ piece of furniture. 😁

[@shaunb66]

Thanks!

[@meoutwest]

That is great Shaun. It is good to see your old ending.

[@Lincolnstww]

Killer build Shaun

[@shaunb66]

Thanks man!

[@BronkBuilt]

MOdern style really isn't my thing but I have to say this is a work of art. I could easily see this in a museum for seating in front of an expensive show piece.

[@shaunb66]

Always happy to hear comments like yours! Thank you!

[@christopherpetersen840]

super cool piece, thank you for the inspiration!

[@jcotter-r5i]

Looks really really nice and very approachable. Makes me want to replicate it... but with poor man's wood.

[@shaunb66]

Go for it!

[@chrisnash2154]

You guys always think outside the box. Wasn’t feelin the design at first and that’s probably because I’m most comfortable with the standard bench design, but it has grown on me.

[@deanwilliams93]

I am no where close to the talent. I'm just one of those people that know perfection once seen.

[@ernestochaveznuno2689]

Qué bonito tu trabajo, y que padre tu taller con tantas máquinas y herramientas, y claro, saberlas usar. ¿Cuantos años tienes como carpintero? Muy bello, me encanta trabajar con técnica. Te felicito por también poner los "errores", que no son tal, son parte del proceso del descubrimiento de una de las formas de resolver algo. ¡Felicidades! 🙂

[@skysam1530]

I have no words to describe the beauty of this piece

[@kevinf3641]

This is as different of a build, I’ve seen you guys,build. Awesome job

[@AlternativeInvestor]

It’d be cool to see a desk with a similar design.

[@billiewylie7212]

first off, nice hair. second off, this telephone bench is absolutely beautiful. listening to you narrate your work, makes it sound easy to make.....but since i have 10 rhumbs on both of my left hands, i guess that i wont be making one any time soon.....thanks for making me feel sooooo mortal.😁

[@fantinwoodworking]

Love it! Beautiful piece! And it also gave me an idea on how to make some slatted cabinet doors :).

[@shaunb66]

Right on! Thank you!

Its a beautiful design, really well executed and video'd, you did however miss one "panel" in you counter.

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Great job on the bench Shaun! Thanks for sharing the video with us!💖👍😎JP

[@karl_alan]

I feel like more of my building process is like yours was for this...less templates, more building on the fly.

[@aminawonder533]

This reminds me of the European tripenta bench design. Could you replicate that, please? I really love it :)

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Completely speechless except to say this is Stupid Dope Fresh Son!!! Hoping all is well guys, Dirty Jersey out!!

@@shaunb66 Yoooo #sdf💯😂

[@barryirby8609]

Beautiful piece. What I want to know is what do you think of the sap wood on the walnut. Everything else is straight and angular and it is organic. Wasn't sure about letting that into the design, but I like it.

[@pf5658]

Wow man. That’s bloody beautiful. That’s a museum quality piece IMO.

[@mattstone6684]

Hey boys (Chris and Shaun), as this one is about abstract, and I had a bit of an abstraction on a fold away table idea come into my head today, it seems like this is the right place to post up a very random question. HOW would one go about calculating the rolled up circumference of a "roll up" table top? Similar in concept of mixing the old roll up part of a secretary desk but into a compact circle like you might get on a roll up garage door that is space saving and not linear. I don't know if I have explained it well... All that said, my brain struggles with math at the best of times and the idea of trying to calculate this has made me have to go have gin and a lie down. Any help, direction, links or even throwing up your hands and saying "Dunno, good luck." is appreciated. Love all you do. Keep it up.

[@DUNIAFURNITURE]

Nice and yunik

[@brooket6261]

This is incredible! I really love your work.
