    This is the best video series for building a roubo bench for me. Slow clear and good audio. Thank you.

      Thank you for saying this. I put a lot of time and effort into these videos. Every video takes 6 to 10 hours to edit once I’ve shot the actual footage.

    My old workshop (read: shed) had a failed roof over the winter, which has caused the whole structure to succumb to damp. Until I can save up some pennies to tear it down and build a new one, I'll happily work wood vicariously through you!
    It's not the only reason I'm still watching, I appreciate your measured, methodical and precise approach. These are excellent comfy videos for weeknight viewing. 😊

      Mikey, thank you so much for commenting. I really appreciate it. Comments like yours help motivate me to continue creating content. I’m sorry to hear that your shop has had some bad luck.

      @@garynelles it'll all be for the good in the end, I now get to build a far larger, more sturdy workshop shed that'll be much less frustrating to work in. It's just going to cost a bit of time and money to build.

    Looks absolutely gorgeous.
    One thing that did scare me though was your use of the table saw without blade guards and with it appearing out of the back of your crosscut sled. That gives me the screaming heebie-jeebies.

    • @garynelles
      @garynelles  Год назад +1

      Yeah, I built that crosscut sled about 15 years ago and it has served me well. I can see how it would make some people uncomfortable but I’ve been using it for a very long time and I’m cautious every time I turn any machine on. Slow and steady wins the race!
      Thanks your kind words and for tuning in and leaving a comment. I appreciate it very much because it helps the channel!

    Your crosscut sledge front is so narrow, it makes me goosebumps (not the good ones). On the plus side, all of your finger are still where they belongs to be! Beside of that, what a beautiful bench, it could be a piece of very fine furniture!

    • @garynelles
      @garynelles  Год назад +1

      I made that sled about 15 years ago before I knew about other designs. It’s never given me any issues but I always take my time anyhow. No sense losing any fingers. appreciate you watching and commenting. It really helps the channel!

    Gary,
    Me again. I've been commenting a lot lately, but wanted to follow up on your request about hand tool usage.
    I've become REALLY focused on hand tool usage for the past year or so. So YES PLEASE, hand tool videos would be great!
    It's funny but i worked pretty much entirely on machines for the first 12 or so years and as a result, i was pretty deficient with basics like simply sawing straight, sawing to a line, splitting a line, etc. And the same holds true for hand planing.
    I'm very fortunate that a master hand tool Woodworker has a small school just north of me, and I've taken several classes. They really helped!
    But YES I would love to see more hand tool videos!

    • @garynelles
      @garynelles  Год назад +1

      Douglas, keep the comments coming! I do have some more videos planned for working with hand tools. Are you thinking of taking some hand tool classes? Where are you located?

      Thanks Vern. I think I’m going to add some kind of a lumber rack to the shelf so I can put project parts on it to keep them handy during project builds and so air can circulate to keep them properly acclimated.

    @SteveAugust7 Год назад +1

    Any reason why you decided to go with 5/8ths projection on your gap stop vs something a little shorter like 3/8ths? Beautiful bench BTW! I'm currently finishing up a similar build in maple & oak.

    • @garynelles
      @garynelles  Год назад +1

      I just followed Benchcrafted plans and that’s the measurement they gave. If I could build it again, I would likely go with ¼” or ⅜”. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it because it helps the channel.

      @@garynelles Have you considered cutting another notch so when you slide it one way you can have it at that 1/4 - 3/8” projection and the other direction gives you the 5/8” projection?

      @garynelles  Год назад

      @michaeldoto4673 sounds genius! I like! I think at one time I saw someone who made the bottom sloped so they could set the height however they wanted to.

    Did you need to order additional crubber or was the piece that came with the usual vice enough? Thx...

    • @garynelles
      @garynelles  9 месяцев назад +1

      I bought the bench builders kit. To be honest, I don’t remember if the crubber for the bench dogs came from one vise kit or the other but I know between the two kits I had enough

    • @carlson.douglas.w
      @carlson.douglas.w 9 месяцев назад

      I have the kit also. It comes with a good amount but if i need more I'd like to order ahead of time. Doesn't sound like i will need to though! Thanks.
      I'm almost through milling for the two slabs and the other pieces of the top. So far so good!
