Great project, very nicely done. I am a wood worker, incapable of doing the artwork but I love to cook as well. I must say I enjoy all your videos, cooking, art, and woodworking. You have an excellent RUclips channel. I highly recommend your channel to friends and acquaintances. Everything is wonderfully done, TOP NOTCH.
On your previous video, I didn't much care for the design of the legs. But seeing them in the context of the complete piece, I definitely do appreciate them more. Lovely stuff.
Jon, This is one of the reasons you are one of my favorite woodworkers on RUclips. Excellent Project, Excellent video editing, excellent instructions. Thanks
This week I designed and built this bench, it’s a modern design with a Japanese influence. The leg and brace design make this bench incredibly strong and I’m confident that the bench can support several hundred pounds. ( At least three grown men). I designed and built the bench with my three teenage sons in mind. The entire cost for this project is just about forty dollars. There is a drawing, material list and plans on my website. Thanks for tuning in and I hope you enjoyed the video.
Nice looking bench. Working on a project for our local town library and want to propose we build this to go with new bookcases and a desk for the books on hold checkout area. The bench would be for patrons to drop their book bags on while checking out. Thanks for posting this!
Hello Jon, It's so nice to watch your videos and your differents proyects, I really enjoy each one of them, thank you so much, greetings from Bogota- Colombia.........................
Sweet design, massive and solidly planted but refined. We don't get doug fir of that quality on the west coast, at least not at home centers. Especially liked the white oak table buttons, shaped so they contribute to the appeal if anyone should look underneath. That's an idea I'll keep for future use.
Excellent video presentation. Like to see teaching and explanation not fast motion video everybody else seems to do. I admire your sense of design and sound ww'ing technique you should be doing a TV show!!
I love that bench, Jon! I was planning to build something similar for my wife, who is a silversmith. She wanted a stump to do some of her hammering, and I suggested a saw bench that she could straddle with the stump at one end making a nice comfortable spot to work. But now, I'm going to build this bench! Thanks for the plans!
Very nice bench, good proportions, and glad to hear you'll be alternating woodworking with art projects. I like the variety of home projects, furniture building, and artwork on your channel. Fastening into the cross-grain of that dowel insert was a particularly interesting part of this project and I'd be interested in a episode maybe fleshing out that explanation a little more and showing other similar techniques. Those strengthening tips are a super helpful part of these furniture builds.
Very impressive results. I like to build almost any project that I can build for low cost with lumber from Home Depot. We can do amazing work with plain old construction lumber.
Hi Jon. I follow lots of woodworkers here on youtube. You are one of the few that combines great woodworking skills with a equally great sense of design and dimensions. This is really a beautiful bench. Thanks
I really like transforming building grade lumber to high end furniture. I just finished a marble topped kitchen table for my friend completly made from 2x4's. But of coarse you can't tell.
Love this so much I went to buy materials for it today to build something similar. The problem I ran into, at least in my area, is that I had to visit 3 "home centers" to get the boards. Lowes for the douglas fir 4x4, Home Depot for the doug. fir 2x6s, and Menards for the doug. fir 2x8s! It may have been easier to build it out of poplar sourced from my local lumberyard. Ha! Thanks for the great videos, keep them coming!
Great one! I'm building a farm table and I love this bench for it! I like the direction the channel is going. Keep doing the art! Also, as I was watching this, my six year old daughter glances over and goes, "Dadda, are you gonna build that for my restaurant?" She actually does like to cook and helps out in the kitchen regularly. She has this idea for a lemonade stand/restaurant by the side of the road.
Looking forward to more of your art videos, Jon. I myself don't have a flair for the artistic (beyond photography and woodworking), but I do appreciate the efforts of those who do.
Jon, always happy to view whatever you choose to share with us. I am not an artist, but I do find the art videos interesting and inspiring. Thanks for all your efforts
Beautiful, elegant design and sturdy at that! Now, if only I had a planer, joiner and the skills necessary for the safe operation of a table saw this would be a perfect project. 😉 Thanks for sharing your woodworking videos. Love watching and learning.
So glad to hear there are be more art projects coming. The bench is truly beautiful Jon. The lines are quiet and as you mentioned, Japanese in spirit. Hope this new year brings the best for you and your family. Thank you for the inspiration.
Great work!!!!.... Japanese furniture usually looks good with lighter coloured woods... But you could do a video on Japanese furniture of Darker colours.. Cheers.
very nice bench jon! i like how u attatched the top with those oak pieces. id like this for the kitchen/dining table im currently building like the joinery
great video , i particularly like how you used a pencil with an eraser to push trough on the band saw , clever little trick that will save many fingers no doubt , i also like the way you fixed the top ..this will give access to all the timber if refinishing is required ..thanks for this video ..think i will make one
You must be proud - nice project! Keep it up, bud. Definitely will be making this one. Have made your blanket chest years ago and a version of your headboard. As always, very approachable projects.
Fantastic job. John your videos inspire me and teach me a great deal. Please keep at it. You should maybe consider Patreon, I know I would support you. Thanks for all the work you put into this channel.
Love watching your stuff Jon. Your explanations are easy to understand and your work masterful. By the way, am English but live in Germany so am one of your international fans 👍 Keep up the super work. All the best mate 😀
Hi Jon, Keep up the awesome videos, i really enjoy your videography - so clear, great angles, excellent lighting, great audio, logical editing. Also like your dialogue - very concise, honest, you are a inspiring individual. Cheers from Down Under!

It's not furniture... it's a piece of art... loved every second of each, the way it was built to precision. thanks for sharing
Nice results. No too many wood workers left to appreciate the beauty of wood and the time it takes
for the trees to grow.
That is a stylish little bench .It amazed me how a simple taper really jazzed it up.THAT is a cross cut sled.
nice to see a great project with affordable big box store materials. Great work.
Jon, I think using the dowel to have something for the screw to grab is pure genius. I've been thinking about that all week. Love your videos.
I like it, very, very nice work, you took rough carpentry lumber, and gave it a fine furniture use, and look to it. Very elegant work.
The first three seconds of the red barn and snow was wonderful to see.
Great project, very nicely done. I am a wood worker, incapable of doing the artwork but I love to cook as well. I must say I enjoy all your videos, cooking, art, and woodworking.

Beautiful design and well executed. I can see it in an oriental black lacquer finish too.
On your previous video, I didn't much care for the design of the legs. But seeing them in the context of the complete piece, I definitely do appreciate them more. Lovely stuff.
Jon, This is one of the reasons you are one of my favorite woodworkers on RUclips. Excellent Project, Excellent video editing, excellent instructions. Thanks
Bravissimo Jon ! Un vero Capolavoro .... Tecniche di giunzioni fenomenali ..... Complimenti
It’s beautiful…I particularly liked the clips you cut and formed to go into the biscuit slots on the bottom.
You have some of the best vids on woodworking. May you make many more.

First class Jon, very instructional........ I learned so much.
Beautiful work. Very nice.

I love how you made the clips to join the top to the legs
That dowel trick is excellent, Love the simplistic bench design as well. Time for me to make some sawdust .
Nice job. I really like the wood clamping to hold the table top to the base..
WOW... Beautiful Bench. Incredible workmanship. Thank you you for making the video
first time Watcher and subscriber great woodworking project look forward to more great project
Hello Jon, It's so nice to watch your videos and your differents proyects, I really enjoy each one of them, thank you so much, greetings from Bogota- Colombia.........................
Beautiful ❤️ absolutely perfect! Love you're cleats! They add that little extra!
Something thar appears to be so simple turned out so beautiful and very well constructed job John 👍
This is the best bench I have ever seen ever!. Excellent!
Thanks 👍
Great looking bench, looks sturdy but elegant. Think I would add some more tapers here and there. Thanks for the inspiration!
Sweet design, massive and solidly planted but refined. We don't get doug fir of that quality on the west coast, at least not at home centers. Especially liked the white oak table buttons, shaped so they contribute to the appeal if anyone should look underneath. That's an idea I'll keep for future use.
what an awesome project. loved the tip with screwing into the dowel.
Yo, the dowel trick is super neat. Took me a sec. to figure out what you meant. Much stronger screw point. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!
Excellent video presentation. Like to see teaching and explanation not fast motion video everybody else seems to do. I admire your sense of design and sound ww'ing technique you should be doing a TV show!!
Glad to have found the channel and love this 'art' build. It's inspirational (and aspirational) for a beginner like myself.
Great project. The best "basic lumber" project I've seen yet. Great design and execution. Thanks for sharing!
Nice looking bench with great design! I've got to build this one!
Cool! Thanks… Go for it!
happy new year.
exquisite .con mucha pasion.muchas gracias.
Beautiful bench Jon, I'm sure it will bring you many years of enjoyment.

Nice simple build with lots of strength by the joints
So many woodworking tips in one video, thanks again Jon!
Very successful, clean and a perfect mastery
You made it look easy, Jon. Wonderful build. Learned alot. Thanks

Great job Jon. Thanks for being and making those videos on RUclips .
Great demonstration of power tool use. Nice Japanese design
I really like transforming building grade lumber to high end furniture. I just finished a marble topped kitchen table for my friend completly made from 2x4's. But of coarse you can't tell.
Wow those legs turned out so nice on the bench. great job
very simple- clean -nice- I'm going to build one using some walnut dowels for accent- thank you...jon
Great looking bench! Nice tip on the use of the dowel.

Really cool design, going to try it....and only 32 bucks, you cant beat that.
Thank You!!!

Ha ha ! :) That's great, thanks!
Make sure your daughter gets a permit for her restaurant and always be ready when health inspectors show up!
It’s beautiful and great job explaining everything thank you
Beautiful bench. This will be perfect at the cabin.
5:00 If you're building along at home note the use of cauls when clamping up the legs. Nice even pressure means better results.
A thing of beauty and harmony.
Looking forward to more of your art videos, Jon. I myself don't have a flair for the artistic (beyond photography and woodworking), but I do appreciate the efforts of those who do.
Simple and clean looking,good job.
This came out awesome Jon! I really learned a lot from it. Thanks.

It's 2024 - material cost has gone up, but this design is timeless! Beautiful!

Great project, you never take a short cut or get lazy about details.
Very nice, hope you get the planer working
You must be proud - nice project! Keep it up, bud. Definitely will be making this one. Have made your blanket chest years ago and a version of your headboard. As always, very approachable projects.
Another great design and build Jon.
Fantastic job.

That is a beautiful bench! Very nice work
i really like that bench.
i would shorten center section between 4x4s to accent corners
love it
simple
beautiful
Very nice Jon! Thanks for your video
Looks great Jon! I love your videos, there's an old school woodworking charm to them, like an old PBS broadcast, but more intimate.
zidek50 I know exactly what you mean! I've always struggled explaining why I love his videos, but this sums it up perfectly.
Outstanding work, Jon. That looks great. We don't really get Douglas Fir down here, and I don't like the way SYP looks as much. That turned out great!
Perfect just what I need right now. thanks very much
Glad it helps
Love watching your stuff Jon. Your explanations are easy to understand and your work masterful. By the way, am English but live in Germany so am one of your international fans 👍 Keep up the super work. All the best mate 😀
Gonna try this with some Walnut and Cherry. Simple but elegant looking!
Thanks Jon!!
Thanks Adam, I think it will look great in walnut or cherry 👍
Hi Jon, Keep up the awesome videos, i really enjoy your videography - so clear, great angles, excellent lighting, great audio, logical editing. Also like your dialogue - very concise, honest, you are a inspiring individual. Cheers from Down Under!
