I showed this incredible workbench to my wife and she said it would make an amazing dining table! Oh, the humanity! The love and respect for the 500 year old tree, that is so apparent in this phenomenonal build transcendences traditional workmanship. You are a wood working god.
Woke up early, and clicked on KZread. Found this. Frigging Brilliant. Made my day and I’m still in bed. Really nice job man. Inspirational to say the least. Is there anything more fun than working with your hands and making beautiful things. Thanks for being!
The only problem with this as a work bench is that it looks so amazing I’d be afraid of ruining it. You did a damn good job on this.

You are an oasis in a desert of woodworking on KZread. I have been Jonesing waiting for you to post something new. You are one of a very few creative woodworkers on the channel worth watching. You are definitely museum worthy. Keep it up and you will be one of very few worth remembering.

Agreed 100%. KZread is full of hipsters that have been fooled into believing they're "woodworkers" by an algorithm. This channel is actual woodworking. No pocket holes, no corners cut, no hiding errors with trim, etc. It is great to have another quality channel to look forward to learning from, because there aren't many left! ps- I prefer the solid top as well.
5.5 minutes in, and I am already blown away once again not just by your creativity (which is in itself mindblowing) but the level of skill you bring. Top that off with pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone, and it is no wonder I eagerly await new content from you.

@@SawyerDesign So true. If we aren't failing, we aren't trying enough.
I love how the things you make aren't simple straight lines etc. They're not simple, you put real thought into what you design & put huge effort into doing it well. Def one of the best workworking channels on YT imo!
That’s unbelievable, you set the bar at an entirely new level with every one of your builds!!!
Insane dude. That bench is un-re-al. Not only the workbench, but the video itself is world class.
Just when I think I've developed some skills, I watch builds like this.
Most people use a workbench to make a masterpiece but you made a masterpiece out of the workbench.
Not much can be said apart from what has been already. It is, of course, a unique perspective on a woodworking necessity and masterfully executed. It's my hope for you that your creation be added to the annals of woodworking history. Perhaps your bench design can come to be known with as much regard as Roubo's. Well done, sir.
Always shocked there's not a million subscribers to this channel, I don't even do woodwork and it's in my top 5. Thanks for the great content and videos

Watched this video a second time, a year later apparently. Gawdamighty, this is gorgeous. Thank you.
As a US veteran suffering from PTSD and trauma from life’s ups n downs, I found woodworking as a way to cope and balance out life’s pressures. I find it quite relaxing, rewarding, satisfying, and sometimes complicated lol I love the masterpiece you’ve built. I would love to have the toys in your shop too. I love learning the various techniques and technologies used in woodworking. Great job my friend, a fan from MT
Absolutely beautiful. I prefer the solid top as well. The opening in the split-top is just a catch-all for all the dust, chips, and that one tool you can't seem to locate.
You Sir are the Artist of Function. You just happen to work in wood. I continue to be awestruck by every creation. Thank you for sharing your magic.
Wow, the most beautiful workbench in history. Thanks for sharing!!! Love the beauty without losing its practicality. Well done!!!
Absolutely the best looking bench I have ever seen. You sir are a master.

Yeah bring art nouveau back.. that workbench looks like an elven workbench in the Lord of the Rings fantasy world, I just love elven architecture because it's art nouveau..
Caramba, o nível de perfeição é absurdo!
Stunning! Really love the design. Especially the reveal between the arch and the benchtop; that gives it the balance it needs.
I must admit, that is the prettiest workbench I've ever seen. Very nice! I am about to pull the trigger on my new workshop build and now I know one of the first shop-built tools. Thanks!
I have been waiting for this!!! So excited to see this come together. Great execution sir!

Just do you, don’t ever care what people might think. It’s not built for them.
I watched this video with my mouth in awe the whole time because this is literally out-of-this-world crazy amazing! I am lost for words with this build! Beautiful!
A personal touch on a classic design to make a stunning bench. Your level of skill matched with your eye for design makes a great video to watch. Keep up the great work.
I think just conceiving of something like this is amazing, let alone building it and to such a level of precision and beauty. It is so cool, I would be afraid to use it for anything for fear of damaging it!
I've been looking forward to this build video for awhile. Did. Not. Disappoint. The bench and the video are works of art. Your filmmaking and editing have really evolved as well. Thanks for more inspiration.
I know that I'm only repeating what many have already said, but that bench is a thing of beauty. You should be proud of this one, for sure. I am certainly looking forward to seeing the plans come up for sale. Well done, amigo, and keep up the fabulous work.
Such a lovely workbench, this is art at its finest! I do some woodworking myself so I truly understand what type of craftsmanship this is. Please keep up with these stunning builds!
Ok come on man, that thing looks too good to be a shop bench. Fantastic craftsmanship. You turned a 600 year old beautiful wood into a work of art.
Awesome design and workmanship. Props from this 45 year veteran woodworker. I'll be keeping an eye on you young man.
Only one word to describe this build: "Amazing". Sir, you have mad skills. Totally blown away by your woodworking abilities. Thank you for sharing this video. What a beautiful bench.
Wow! What a piece. This turned out really beautiful. It has such a presence. Love that fine old pine too! Keep up the great work.

This bench is insane! 🤩 But what’s even crazier is the time it probably took to film/ edit!! 🤯 Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼🙌🏻
This is not only a work bench it's a dining room table and piece of artwork as well. Ironically its much to beautiful to be a work bench. It's more of a look at and admire bench.
Just WOW! I'm a beginner and am aiming to do a desk and a table. I love the idea of legs in this style!
Contrasting inlay strips on the joins between the bench top and the legs and supports would look awesome as an addition. Nether the less, an amazing bench and something I will look forward to building for my own shop once lumber prices are down. Flawless as always. Thank you.
Jesus… in a world where KZread is bursting at the seams with workbench build vids, this is one of the dews videos that genuinely stands apart.. and from my perspective, that might be one of the most difficult accomplishments for a woodworker using the platform.. Much respect and blessings from Maui, gonna try to keep a closer eye on posts this channel uploads
I have no words to express my amazement in your ability to create these master pieces
As the builder of my own Roubo style bench, I can only say Wow!! Napoleon Hill wrote 'Anything you can conceive and believe you can achieve'. -Veteran '66-68
Holy holy… Mr. Sawyer never disappoints and this one is just incredible Nick! So amazing. Well done.
This workbench is insane! Wow, what a great build.
This truly is the best woodworking channel on KZread. The bench is stunning! The skill and creativity are out of this world! Nice job brother!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I have to say that you are extraordinarily talented wood crafter. I do not know how you thought this design up, you are on a superior level of wood creativity. Thanks
That is a design and skill level of making I have not seen, a true master of the craft. The table deserves to be in a dining room or Art Gallery for all to see! That design with the arc legs would make a fantastic dining table.👍
The bench is a work of art and this video about it was amazing I'm glad I found this channel.
Yayyy new video time! The most creative craftsman on KZread. I love the fact you are always trying to smash through the boundaries of what is possible. Using new and innovative tools mixed with beautiful traditional hand tools. I want that bench soooo much 10/10 👌

that is simply stunning, way too nice to suffer the punishment that a workbench goes through. I'd definitely have it as piece of art furniture inside the house
WOW! 😮😍 That is a gorgeous bench!
Superb build. It looks like a medieval arch with a Napoleon arch. Beautiful job!
It just calms me down. Thank you for sharing your work. I truly look forward to watching your content.
Love VG Fir, beautiful wood! That bench turned out awesome!
I think I’d like to compliment this for what it is; an exercise in design and masterful technique. It is lovely to look at, very well made, and skillfully fitted. The hardware is superb. In the end, like many masterwork style pieces, it’s not super practical. However, you are a true craftsman. Well done!
So impressive. Fantastic work, as always!
That belongs in the Guggenheim museum! Off the chart beauty and the grain on that old wood is amazing. Well done on the videography too! Thanks for the eye candy treat!

Aesthetically pleasing to the eye and brilliantly functional! Respectful use of "old" timber. Much respect. Regards, Mark (South Africa)
One of the few NC 17 woodworking videos out there! Man, I was thinking (a rare enough moment in its own right), you better make something worthy of an ancient tree. Dude, you did it! I'm guessing any sponsor that sends you to a woodworking show is gonna insist you take along that bench. Now's the real challenge.... getting it to fit in the overhead compartment..... you got a fancy enough tool to do that? Keep up the great work.
That is the most. Beautiful workmanship I have ever seen. Than you for showing.

Hey thanks so much!
I am constantly amazed at your skill repertoire, whether it be with large workshop machines, hand power tools or straight out hand tools. It is a joy for an 'old' man used to working with his hand tools to see you so happily transition to power tools to pure hand tools with such comfort & accomplishment. You will happily pick up a plane of any size or a chisel etc & use them with such great skill. This bench you have made may be a work station but it is also a work of Art & be admired as such. Some of the joints you worked out for this piece were so complicated but made to look relatively simple by your skills & thinking ability. Magnificent stuff my friend, I will watch this many times to come such was the pleasure for this old disabled man. Cheers, Don from South Aust.

The only thing more sexy than watching a man working (literal) wood, designing and building extraordinarily beautiful creative and useful products and that is watching the same guy surf ! Amazing!!! Loved the techno phantom of the opera music around 18 minutes in. I don’t typically comment or subscribe (big deal, right?!) but this vid warranted it.
Stunning design and execution!
That is the most beautiful yet functional thing I have seen. Well Job!
OH COME ON MAN!!! YOU DID NOT JUST DO THAT!!! This is piece of freaking art! The cathedral of work benches. Well done sir. Bravo. I guess it’s time to up my game.
In my opinion, this is not the pinnacle of workbenches modern or otherwise. It is beautiful and your skills are off the chart but this is a demonstration piece. A marketing tool for potential clients. It isn't a workbench. A workbench must be something that can be made quickly so one can get on with the real work. This beautiful piece is impracticle. Most woodworkers are hobbyists and have neither the skill nor the equipment to make it, but you know that. Again, it's a great piece and provides proof that you are someone that should be considered for high end commission work.
Absolutely amazing work. Awesome bench. Just found your channel today, will be looking forward to the rest of your videos.
Man I am just so impressed with this. I watch so many makers on KZread literally every day and just silently admire. Literally never comment. But this, I had to say something about. Very well done, just amazing.
