ULTIMATE Woodworking Workbench Build with INSANE Geared Vices!

I build my ULTIMATE Woodworking Workbench using a tree i milled myself with my alaskan chainsaw mill 2 years ago. This project is much easier to accomplish than some may think. I use basic timber frame style joinery with draw bore mortise and tenon joints, and some amazing vices from Andy Klein.

Killer bench John. Unfortunately it doesn't look right in your shop. I will email you address where you can ship it to dispose it.

[@brandtbagwell8951]

wait that's what i did

[@michaelbujaki2462]

I hope that by "dispose" you meant "give to someone where it would look right."

[@vecronatt]

Michael Bujaki nonono hes gonna burn the bitch. its that awesome of a bench. it cant stay in the world the world isnt ready yet

If (when) I win the lottery, I'm gonna have a shop like this. I won't be able to do HALF the crazy shit John does, but I'll have the shop, dammit.

[@joeyshofner639]

I’ll be happy with his old bench.

You should look at the shop tour for Fleets Wood Shop. Craziest most well thought out wood shop on KZbin.

Oh man if only Nick Offerman would collab with you!! That would be "Book a day off work" worthy!

[@jaredc4020]

Agreed

[@koalafan1576]

Ooooo the twin turbo vise. I can’t wait to buy a house and build a shop so I can get one of those videos from Andrew.

[@101411726]

Hey John, You dovetail the end cap due to the pressure created from the vise on that end of the bench. The dovetail shape resists that pressure, and the joint tightens when the vice is in use (at least, as far as I understand). Hope I’ve explained this clearly.

[@ascottishguy9462]

I'm Scottish and don't think he shouts enough.

I can barely hear the guy

Who ever called you a smuck you doesnt know how to do wood working? One of my favorite youube carpenters right here ladies and gents. Leave the man alone and take your negative feedback to the mirror. Your doing great John, keep them videos coming.

[@zanderchiasson8064]

*You’re.....

I’m a chap from the country ya’ll defected from and I think your shouty videos are jolly spiffing. I am also growing myself some whiskers that our Lord and Saviour Swanson may one day be proud of. Jolly good work old bean - do keep it up.

[@endoomedd]

Is it possible for you to upload a video where you go trough the steps of the clean up of your shop? I dont know why but i'm kind of interested in seeing you clean up your shop because I ask myself how long you do that :)

[@BryanNWright]

I love that you left in you dropping that mallet

[@delwynprosser5196]

Love your shows. Your attitude to your projects is great. From the uk , it shows all British people aren't the same. Some of us have a sense of humor.

[@robertk-qn6mg]

ok. I've been watching a lot of your videos. Your editor does a fantastic job of keeping the videos fun and entertaining. You have a very nice and clean shop for what yall do. Hopefully I can save money and ask you to do a project for me. I'm disabled and have issues with lifting even a little amount of weight. Please keep them coming...You and your team do a great job! thank you!

I was horror struck when you painted the base black. But when it all came together it made so much sense. Love what you do.

[@samdelonas7079]

Hi John, love the bench. Please don't go QUIET, if we want prim, proper and quiet we can watch Rob Cosman. Love your channel and the way you explain everything.

You should make a table like this but its a desk and the gears raise and lower the height of the desk!

[@nealbarker7026]

Dude, just came across you today going down the rabbit hole of KZbin, ive literally got hooked on your stuff, your comment about the British guy saying your too loud, dude with the stuff you make you be as loud as you like, I'm a carpenter who loves bespoke building and love that you show your builds with warts and all during the process, I know your pain on a few where I can see the hours you've put in only to screw up and start again. Keep doing what you do buddy

[@alexbishop4396]

I'm also British however, I prefer watching American woodworkers because they have more energy and better shops. Watching some English woodworkers is less exciting than watching paint dry. Keep up the good work - and be energetic :)

[@pastorslant]

Very true. If I'm looking for entertainment, I look for American made videos. If I'm looking for informative, I tend to look for English made videos. Lol

[@andycalarco649]

STUNNING BENCH!!!!

[@Brett_is_Veng]

that is the purdiest bench ive ever seen, the exposed gears in the vice and the black frame are beautiful. Love the traditional clamping points too. Simplicity is cool

[@DIYwithUncleCy]

I love it when people show their mistakes and explain how they fixed it. Means your a real human. And as a long time wood worker I love seeing tip and tricks the tape for the transferring marks was a new one for me, gonna use that in the future. When I built my Roubo split top bench I put in traditional square dog holes, it is the one thing I regret about my build. Really wish I had done round dog holes as almost all modern do hole products are for round holes. Oh well ya win some ya lose some. Another great build. Thanks for doing what ya do bro.

[@bribbripnairbnab7301]

One idea I have come to appreciate is that sometimes a good woodworker is not someone who does not make mistakes but recovers well from when a mistake is made.

[@rorschacht8478]

Hey uncle cy! Big fan, I've watched all your videos.

[@jamiemartinwebb]

Hey I'm British and I like it when you're loud, in fact I expect it. Great job on the bench man!
