    A wonderful workbench!
    At first glance I thought it was a mid evil torture rack.......

    I watched the whole video and it is amazing with what a person can do with their hands.


    Is it over there or over yonder?

    Wow what a work bench and sentiment. All done in just a little over 10 minutes. Imagine what he could do if he would just slow down a little.

    I wonder what stones he used to sharpen that plane. I bet you could shave with that. That is talent. Wow.

    The material alone to build that would cost a pretty penny. Also, think of the time it would take to move his camera and set it up. Another thing I think of is, he has a good wife for taking care of his rug rats while he works.

    He has some other very cool vids as well.

    Excellent bench and video. I liked the ending when he was planing and the "ribbon" was see through. That is a sharp plane. The one thing that got me was I thought he was about to bury that "slick" in his arm when he was leaning over his work holding it down.
