This video demonstrates how to make a bench that matches the Farmhouse table out of walnut and pine. Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe to catch future projects.
I really enjoyed you entire farmhouse table and bench project. I think the white base was a great design feature. It really sets off your top. One questIon I had is, by pinning the breadboard caps with the domino does the top still have enough room to expand and contract across the width of the table with the seasonal changes in humidity. It has sat a full cycle so you should have had a good test. It is a extremely efficient and strong method if it does indeed allow enough room. Out of curiosity what reason of the country do you reside? Keep up the good work
So far it has worked out well. Given that I am in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex (Texas) when I brought this table in from my shop (humid) to the house it did shrink about a 1/16th overall. I did ensure to use the "loose" setting on the Domino XL for the mortises in the breadboards to allow for a little movement. Hope that info helped. Thanks for watching and the kind words.
Hey Preston, I don't have plans at this time. At some point in the future I might but right now I don have the capacity/time to create them. Thanks for watching and the kind words!
+legato1985 Thanks for the compliment! I am in the process of making a sketch up with a materials list for the bench and the table as a package should have it in the next week or two when the website goes live. If that works with your timeframe you might consider downloading it. "Making" things has been a life time passion for me that was encouraged by my family but nurtured by my grandfather, although it is only the last few years that I have focused more on furniture. In the past I have been pretty busy remodeling homes to sell or rent. Despite the passion and making some extra money by renovating homes I haven't found a way to replace my full time job yet. So for now this is just a hobby, and a fun one at that. Thanks again, James
Love your stuff man.... But.....jeezz it takes forever to watch a project. and that loop music...just adds to the boredom. ... Speed it up with definitive snap shots. Watching someone domino or clamp for 5 min. does nothing . You build great stuff. I wonder what you will be building in 10 years from now with your skill set? ? Looking forward to it. Speed it up lad.
Haha, yea I don't claim to be any Tim Burton. Editing videos is as much of an art as woodworking or anything else and I do try to switch up the music a little within each video to prevent it from being too repetitive. That being said, I am trying to find that balance point between quick enough to not be boring and enough detail to still provide value to newer woodworkers like we all were once. When I first started out and watched Norm I was always concerned that it took me so much longer then it appeared it should even accounting for the fact that they cut out a bunch of time. Thanks for watching, the feedback, and the encouragement!
+Make This: Workshop Thanks for not getting upset. So many people do. I understand that editing takes up massive time. But filming the beginning phase of an action....and staying there to the completion thereof is counter productive. so we were all newbies at one stage...cool .! There is so much content on you tube of these very tasks. How to drill a hole.... How to biscuit....How to dovetail. ...How to rip a plank....How to anything. You have a great style to your projects. ...your skill set is past the tertiary stage. If a person in today's world wants to attempt your projects they have to have the tools and or mental capacity to begin it. So you have eliminated all the beginners that can't follow what you are doing. The reason you went through all this trouble of making this video is to share your project and skill. The main reason most people look at You Tube is to admire, get inspiration, learn etc.(leave the newbies to research their own how to. ) Get on with show casing your skill and progress of the project. Leave the basics of editing 8xspeed cuts of ripping a ply wood board in pieces to drilling 10 holes at different camera angles. (waste of time mate) Your style is your style. How you do things is totally up to you. just my 2 cents.... and no malice intended toward you, your videos or anything you have made. I like your style man.
Looking smart on the bench ,,,,,,,nice work very nice .
+Jawed Iqbal Thank you sir, glad to see you are enjoying a few of the videos! Thanks again

Do you ever publish plans? I'd love to make this table/bench combo. It's gorgeous. Great work man.

Great video. this is on my honey do list aswell. do you do this type of work for a living? or is it a hobby?
