I'm an 82 year old boat carpenter who spends more time enjoying videos like yours than I do in my shop thanks to sore joints etc. A lot of my body parts hurt these days and what doesn't hurt doesn't work but I still love spending time building nice projects. I can't tell you what a pleasure it was to watch you build this nice bench. You have combined modern methods and machinery with a very high level of workmanship and you even pick up a plane or a chisel too. I have worked with some top-notch craftsmen and you can hold you own with any of them. By the way, they make mistakes too. I'm looking forward to watching you build some more interesting projects.

I have to say this bench is mind blowing. I've seen alot of wood working benches, this is probably one of my favorite. Great Job Tamar. You're an inspiration to us all.

First off, this bench is absolutely amazing! Second, thank you so much for being willing to show us when things go wrong or when mistakes happen. For those of us still in the "make something garbage and learn from it" phase, seeing highly skilled woodworkers make the kind of mistakes that we would make and still turn out great work is super encouraging because it reinforces the idea that skill isn't about not making mistakes, but knowing how to fix them and not panic when they happen. I learn a lot from your videos!

Something to bere in mind lass, you DON'T want to counter sink unless you absolutely have to, it's much better to use a brass dome head screw in a counter bore as the sloped sides between the screw and wood create pressure points that will lead to splitting over time, but if you use a flat or dome headed screw set into a counter bore that issue is almost completely eliminated.

“We all make stupid mistakes, the only difference is mine was caught on camera.” True story. We ALL make mistakes in our projects. Woodworking KZreadrs who show their mistakes (and more importantly, how they fix them!!) are to my mind more honest and demonstrate a true instructor’s mindset than those who show perfect technique every time.

Awesome table! May I suggest a French cleat system for the ends? That way if you want to reconfigure where your glue bottle lives or other items, you can simply move them around.

Been looking at a lot of bench prospects I like yours nice balance between aesthetics and function thanks Sorry about your ankle it’s always funny how we gain wisdom

Incredible design, beautifully executed! So many well-considered features, it’s clear you spent hours (months?!) thinking it through. The only thing I’d change if I were to build it is a tool well in place of the spacer, I’ve tried a spacer with tool slots but I’m way too messy and lazy to use them, a well catches everything for me. Loved the series, great to see you back, and commiserations on the ankle 😬, tha footage (ha 😂!) was tough to watch!

Soooo functional, I love it. Post script: I love the way Tamar says "drawers".

Add french cleats on the sides of the bench so you can change the locations of the thinks you hang there without any worries. Brilliant bench!

I am still thinking about my-finally!-left-handed bench, and trying to figure out how to combine many useful track saw accessories, which require a certain spacing and hole size, with bench accessories, which are in the different hole universe of your tempting template. Still thinking … but so looking forward not to have a front vise slam into my hip when trying to plane, and maybe have a bench as nice as yours. Lots of valuable ideas here.

I don't normally comment on video's but this was really great to watch and yes the bench is beautiful and so functional. Great job!

Nice bench and ouch, I felt your frustration and anger at yourself at the end there. I've hurt myself in the shop several times and in pretty much every case it was because I did something I knew I shouldn't have done and felt like a moron. Thankfully it was a just a rolled ankle and the top didn't land on your foot and break it. I was talking with a guy at a Woodcraft a little while back who was moving a walnut slab and it slipped and fell and landed right on his shin. It scraped the whole bottom of his leg and even a while later it was still all bruised and messed up. I remember one time myself I was working on the frame of my bench. I rested a dead blow mallet on the edge of the top stretcher for some stupid reason while i was underneath installing the lower shelf. Of course, I bumped it and the dead blow mallet fell off 2x4 stretcher it was precariously rested on and fell right on the tip of my finger. Thankfully, I didn't break anything, but man it was painful. We are always worried about chopping our fingers off with our saws, but many times we forget that other things in our shop can still be dangerous, even just the wood we use can cause significant injuries. Glad you are doing okay.

Just met you by accident. Thank you! This is awesome! Your work is fantastic, shop is unbelievable, your friendly and kind demeanor shows quality, and you aren't selling your body. (IE: tons of makeup, low revealing tops and cleavage, hair is up and neat, nor styled this morning by 2 hrs of blow, curl, finesse, and sprays. ) As a female, I find that very encouraging and noteworthy. You just won another subscriber. What area are you located? USA?

Oof, that sprained ankle looked painful. Hope it's feeling back to normal, injuries like that have a tendency to last. Also hope the camera that fell was ok! As far waiting to hang things on the end of the bench, I recommend temporarily attaching them to see how positioning works. Double sided tape works great for this. Then you can re-position without leaving a bunch of screw holes or something.

I like that you left in the domino error. The honesty of ‘I made a mistake and my solution was definitely not the right one’. We have all been there!

Oh my… not only is this THE MOST functionally versatile bench I’ve seen but the THE MOST beautiful. There’s a podcast I love and they always say, “let the women do the work.” You have proved, yet again, just why. Ron Paulk bench, whaaaaa? AMAZING! ❤

You pretty fancy now lady!. Love the bench and the shop

You are such an amazing young woman and that bench is just to awesome. I was wincing here when watching you hurt your ankle, it looked really bad hopefully is wasn't as bad as it looked. I jumped out of the hay truck to get more bales and twisted my ankle in a wood chuck hole, first it hurt then it didn't but felt cold, then it changed to feeling hot and then back to hurting, for years after I did that I had to wear high ankle shoes or boots or I would twist it again really easily. Hope you were fine quickly.

I do love a good bench build, and this is a bloody good bench build! Well done indeed. It only costs some time, some timber, some money...and one ankle!

That’s a very cool bench Tamar. Nicely done

Regarding the ankle sprain injury; two tips I learnt many, MANY years ago - which stuck with me - is to think of the health and safety of the item you're carrying too - and clearing the path you're about to carry it via. If you don't want to drop or damage the thing you're carrying (OR injure yourself) then check the route is clear before you lift the thing. I always nowadays check my route for trip hazards, stuff I might have to contort to get around, etc. It takes a couple of mins for a long route - but my back needs me to be careful these days. It would've saved your workpiece from the drop, your camera from being in the way, and your ankle from the (freak/rare) injury. Obviously hindsight is 20/20 vision but it's a good data point to reaffirm the tips as valuable. Oh and by God that workbench is amazing - totally inspiring and super helpful for my upcoming workbench build. Thank you ever so much for taking the time to explain the features/benefits. Seeing your love for your designs and those pop-up dogs etc is so wholesome and energising to experience.

A lot of thoughts and planning goes into this kind of work, patience is the key and I love to see you smiling. Simply gorgeous bench

She’s preggers!!! Yay!! Congratulations!
