How to Build a Japanese Inspired Bench

  • In this video, I built this bench using traditional wedge joinery. The center stretcher is attached to the legs with a through tenon and wedged in place with a through tenon.
    Wedges hold the top in place. The bench is made of walnut, and the top wedges are made of mahogany.
    This type of woodworking is what keeps me building custom furniture.
    The finished used was a wipe on satin poly amzn.to/2AWjMWO (affiliate link)
    This Bench is from my Japanese inspiration collection.

    Man this is great. I really love the look of the wedged tenon. I've been interested in traditional joinery for a while and seeing stuff like this really makes me want to get into my shop and try some things.
    Nice work!

    I have not encountered a better music selection supporting a woodworking video. Great music for any-dang-thing, really. But, such a well thought out pairing to watch wood being worked. So many woodworkers on youtube maintain a keen eye for design and an admirable dedication to the craft and quality of the art, and clearly devote hard work to create videos. With that said, I think an overwhelming number of said mechanics must have had bananas stuck in their ears when they paired their music to otherwise such well worked videos. Nice work. Good ear. Thanks

    I like how you attached the top to the legs. I'd been thinking of using that method but hadn't found it in practice. I like the 'double wedge' in contrasting woods, very nice indeed.

      @@Benham_Design Nice choice. 🙂 I hope you don't mind, but I may pinch a few of your ideas, especially the Japanese style. I am working on a dedicated guitar stool and matching guitar stand. I am not sure about whether to have it combined (imagine the old telephone seat/table with the shelf for the phone book), or separate. I guess the final design will dictate my decision..

    I have a saw like the one you used to cut your boards to the right lenght. The problem is that i really dont catch why it has the posibilty to turn the whole head with the sawblad 90 degrees till being horizontal and also the column can in theory mover to make +/- 45 degrees crosscuts. Is there any instructional video for taking the best from that kind of saws? I mean, is a really nice tool: Is sturdy, strong.... but is really big and ocupies a lot of space in my very small workshop.
