    I could use a bench like that. Only if i had 1/1000 of your skill and talent to properly put that bench to use.

  • @erikponciano
    @erikponciano 8 років тому

    I will not use that bench, it's too beautiful. It made me cringe when you laid that planer on top of it.

    The most amazing bench i"ve ever seen. I would clean your shop floor with my tongue for an entire year, just to be taught how to make it.

    Awesome bench you do amazing work.. I was wondering if you had any videos on your bench and how it is made and some of the features it looks like it has a tool tray on the back I am in the process of making one of my own and like the way you make them thanks

  • @aldotanca9430
    @aldotanca9430 9 років тому

    Very well done and clear, thanks! If I may ask, given it is not too easy to tell from the video, do you actually lift the plane slightly when pulling it back, so to protect the blade? I think I read somewhere that otherwise the blade will become quickly dull, is that the case?

  • @markborman5340
    @markborman5340 9 років тому

    Thank you all for the comments. Yes it is a little too pretty to use, at least not until you manage to put the first couple scratches in it! Fine Woodworkers of South Carolina, I finished it with 2 coats of Deft Danish Oil. They no longer make the stuff but I have a limited stash of it.

    Its beautiful, I can see it being used as furniture. As a bench i would have to cover it in plywood to keep off the glue and chisel marks.

  • @TerryPullen
    @TerryPullen 9 років тому

    Great video. For beginners learning this technique I think it is important to remember to set your stones up in the same place and assume the same body position every time. By being consistent with your body position you will develop muscle memory more quickly and be less frustrated in your efforts. Another tip is to not obsess over keeping the bevel angle perfect. A slightly cambered bevel is fine and will not ruin your edge. So don't give up if you can't achieve the flat bevel Frank does, keep at it and your bevel angle will improve with practice.
