    Is not only a workbench, it is also a piece of art.
  • @joshuambean
    I love how you somehow doubt your abilities as a woodworker, yet you're out here building some of the most beautiful and complicated builds on any channel on this platform. You're out here killing it!! Keep up the awesome work. Love it!
  • As the builder of my own Roubo style bench, I can only say Wow!! Napoleon Hill wrote 'Anything you can conceive and believe you can achieve'. -Veteran '66-68
  • @43painter
    The Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer would've liked this one ! Fabulous design and craftmanship. ThX for sharing.
  • I showed this incredible workbench to my wife and she said it would make an amazing dining table! Oh, the humanity! The love and respect for the 500 year old tree, that is so apparent in this phenomenonal build transcendences traditional workmanship. You are a wood working god.
  • That’s unbelievable, you set the bar at an entirely new level with every one of your builds!!!
  • @kyletelford2353
    Wow, the most beautiful workbench in history. Thanks for sharing!!! Love the beauty without losing its practicality. Well done!!!
  • The only problem with this as a work bench is that it looks so amazing I’d be afraid of ruining it. You did a damn good job on this.
  • You are an oasis in a desert of woodworking on YouTube. I have been Jonesing waiting for you to post something new. You are one of a very few creative woodworkers on the channel worth watching. You are definitely museum worthy. Keep it up and you will be one of very few worth remembering.
  • @MrsGump
    I love how the things you make aren't simple straight lines etc. They're not simple, you put real thought into what you design & put huge effort into doing it well. Def one of the best workworking channels on YT imo!
  • Watched this video a second time, a year later apparently. Gawdamighty, this is gorgeous. Thank you.
  • @Drew_86
    In my opinion, this is not the pinnacle of workbenches modern or otherwise. It is beautiful and your skills are off the chart but this is a demonstration piece. A marketing tool for potential clients. It isn't a workbench. A workbench must be something that can be made quickly so one can get on with the real work. This beautiful piece is impracticle. Most woodworkers are hobbyists and have neither the skill nor the equipment to make it, but you know that. Again, it's a great piece and provides proof that you are someone that should be considered for high end commission work.
  • @RB-vr7mq
    5.5 minutes in, and I am already blown away once again not just by your creativity (which is in itself mindblowing) but the level of skill you bring. Top that off with pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone, and it is no wonder I eagerly await new content from you.
  • Absolutely the best looking bench I have ever seen. You sir are a master.
  • I watched this video with my mouth in awe the whole time because this is literally out-of-this-world crazy amazing! I am lost for words with this build! Beautiful!
  • @sethnoble610
    Just when I think I've developed some skills, I watch builds like this.
  • @999Eikes
    Insane dude. That bench is un-re-al. Not only the workbench, but the video itself is world class.
  • @alancook1380
    Not much can be said apart from what has been already. It is, of course, a unique perspective on a woodworking necessity and masterfully executed. It's my hope for you that your creation be added to the annals of woodworking history. Perhaps your bench design can come to be known with as much regard as Roubo's. Well done, sir.
  • @OpusX2010X
    You Sir are the Artist of Function. You just happen to work in wood. I continue to be awestruck by every creation. Thank you for sharing your magic.
