How To Make an APPLE MAC G5 Into A Bench

Here's how I made a few Apple Power Mac G5's into benches for a local business. Forever grateful and honored to be a part of this project. Based off the designer Klaus Geiger. #apple #diy #woodwork #bench

Old Macs and woodworking? You got me. Great work!

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

Did I just find my people?! lol Thank you, Michael! I appreciate you bro!

[@Eden_Fire]

Feels like something Marques Brownlee needs at his studio

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

Honestly… I might just throw it out to him and see if I even get a reply. That would be so awesome!lol Thanks for the idea! ☺️🤝🏾

[@LakenMason-eb4qw]

This ASMR and music is ~chef’s kiss~!

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

Thank you! I appreciate you!! 🙏🏾🫶🏾

[@Mr.X3D]

Sweet! Version 2 should double as a soda cooler!

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

Oh....that's an idea! That would be perfect in a den!

[@lionelserville5813]

Finally, someone found the perfect use for the apple computer.

[@bobbarley]

You sir are an artist

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

Thank you Nigel, too kind!

[@ncastel]

Cool idea, great execution. Makes me want to buy a couple Mac pro's.

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

Thanks Nathan! All credits for the design goes out to Geiger. I just had to scratch my head a couple of times to get to the execution side of it.lol Let me know if you ever do! It’s a super fun build ☺️

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Very cool idea, the benches look amazing 👍🏻

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

Thanks Luc! I appreciate you!

[@BlackBagData]

Your craftsmanship is truly top notch. Excellent builds. I’m taking my single Mac Pro tower and doing a complete overhaul. Not a bench though.

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

I appreciate your kind words! An overhaul as in like gutting it out and adding new components to. use on the daily?

[@BlackBagData]

@@godwingabrielwoodworks yep, exactly right. In no hurry so it will be a really slow build.

[@techno_eclipse]

This is so sick! Awesome build, never in a million years would I have thought about turning these into a bench

[@QMDesign]

Good Job!

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

love it!

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

Thank you!

[@JeroenReumkens]

Beautiful! Such great work!

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

Thanks Jeroen, it was a process for sure. I’m glad it came out what I envisioned!

[@FranciscoDuarte]

Brilliant, I've had a G5 carcass sitting under a bench, collecting dust for years and I always wondered what to do with it.
Now I have a few ideas.
Thank you for the inspiration.

[@marlinwoodruff2292]

That was some awesome work and great idea 💡

[@klasiks92]

Good job

[@oll1_sg686]

Looks Perfect!!! Love it ❤

[@Ninjump]

Nice work my brother. I was into furniture design/build inline with this kind of stuff for 7 years before starting a construction co. Such rewarding work when you pull off a project this well. Nice job!

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

Thank you my brother man! Congratulations on starting a construction co. One of my close friends own one as well, and I've seen firsthand the process. No minor feat, much respect!

[@MegaAaron42]

Dang!! Somebody knows their way around a wood shop. Nice work mam!!!! 😎

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

Aww shucks! Let me tell you Aaron, this wood shop has been a PROCESS and still slowly building it together. I appreciate your kind words sir!

[@MrHaydnSir]

the seemless connection is just to die for 🤤

[@alex.berkowitz]

Man this whole video is so chill and relaxing. And the end result is super clean. Great work!

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

Thanks Alex! That means a lot! That’s the vibe I was going. Dialing in the project was super fun. I appreciate the kind words bro! 🙏🏾

[@LifeGQ]

Phenomenal job on this! What a unique idea!

[@tim_tim_tim]

What a cool project - great little shop too 👌

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

Thanks Tim! Having everything on wheels definitely helps out big time! I appreciate you ☺️

[@itsgabenog]

It turned out awesome! Congratulations!

[@csbarbourv]

That’s pretty sweet!

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

Thank you! It was a process but so well worth it! ☺️

[@JoyceWang-pp8wt]

Nice work. What a Masterpiece!
Keep going 👍

[@gregoryc5989]

Beautiful

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

Thank you Gregory! I appreciate you 🙏🏾

[@alexandrealbergaria6224]

throw that HomePod sitting at the window inside of the g5 will make it feel like magic when music comes out

[@boogidaball]

This is so so so sick man. Love it. Keep making videos!!!

[@mahmoudbakri2512]

you need more lightning my friend

[@faisalaljabri7151]

Very nice, but if the USB ports were enabled to charge phones, it would have been nicer.

[@Memo-sword]

Mind-blowing!

[@nicklarson801]

How cool would it be if the Apple logo’s lit up.

[@MyGSunny]

dam bro i had this idea ages ago! good thing i didn't make it cuz you would have put me to shame.

[@marcowaldmeier]

such a great idea 🔥 looks really nice

[@MartinAaberge]

Great idea, great execution, and great video :D

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

Thanks Martin! Coming from a creator like yourself, that means a lot!

[@philippe-lebel]

J'adore l'idée. C'est très classe 👍

[@ARTIZAC]

Wow!! I like this work!

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

Thank you! Your work is beyond beautiful!

[@OA-tz9hd]

Impressive really love it!!

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

Thank you so much! :)

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ToolsElectroDIY]

High precision work. That curve is difficult. what router bit did you use?

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

It definitely was a tedious process for sure. I used a 1" radius rounding bit and then finessed it with a scraper and sander.

[@stevansiregar8853]

what is the computer specs?

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

I'm honestly not positive as it was gutted out before given to me.

[@joemacleod-iredale2888]

Is the wood apple?

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

It’s red oak sir. I think the tung oil I used made it pop even more. Great eye.

[@joemacleod-iredale2888]

@@godwingabrielwoodworks I thought it was probably oak, just thought it would be fun if the whole bench was made of ‘Apple’….

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

I looked into it! But availability and cost effectiveness played a role as well. Maybe in the future ones, that would be a sweet detail for sure!

[@tahsin28]

Apple WAS very sustainable, as an engineer i'm 100% sure someone designed it this way to have an afterlife use.
Apple is least sustainable now.

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

Honestly, the way it was designed - it's like it was MADE to be a bench. I agree with you, I'd love to pick the brain of the original designer.

[@parcorpor]

Wow it’s so seemeles now what you got to do is put to of the line pc parts in it and put it in a park to save kids from walking now all they need to do is sit down and each subway serfer and shark tank edits instead of walking honestly I thought you had 1 mil but I would enjoy it more if you had. Some description of what you are doing

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

I'm always open to feedback, and i'll look into doing voiceovers in the future of walking you through the process of what i'm working on. Thank you!

[@parcorpor]

@@godwingabrielwoodworks excellent quality for 5 months you new what you were doing when you started this

[@parcorpor]

@@godwingabrielwoodworks it’s just with the longer ones Because the short form ones are really relaxing and try an uncut one on the side that may be a bit much

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

I’m definitely going to try implementing a description of the process. I appreciate your kind words, still growing and learning ☺️

[@capone_rd_809]

This video is too dark, I struggled to see what you were doing

[@godwingabrielwoodworks]

Thank you for the feedback, I'll make sure I keep that in mind!
