Wonderful insight about using actual shavings under the winding sticks to assess amount of wind, never occurred to me one could literally measure number of passes needed to correct!!! Applies to any planing operation I guess!

Thank you Sir.🎉

Gosh that was information dense! Blimey! Thank you so much for sharing!

Lol. Great video and ending

I am looking at making one of these. I've thought about using Rex Kruger's simple affordable design. I really enjoy thinking of woodworking in this way, getting away or minimizing power tools. very creative, and very well-done video. Thank you.

Great video, thank you! I’ve accepted the “truth” that you need a leg vice and tail vice, at least, in order to perform necessary operations. You’ve relieved me of those misconceptions. Thoughtful use of some sticks, stops, and holdfasts will do the trick at a fraction of the cost vs fancy vices.

that joke at the end :D

Siemsen is a legend.

Just read a few comments..everyone seems to have felt exactly the way I did..just expressed more eloquently..guess the easiest way for me to say it is that I fully endorse what everyone has said..😄..kudos buddy..once again..👍👍..

Simply fabulous 👍👍👍..as a beginner I cannot tell you how helpful this video has been..thanks plenty..😊👍..

Best tutorial of how to flatten a board I’ve seen yet, thanks Mike !

Love the dad joke stinger at the end.

This is one of the best, if not the best, video on traditional hand-tool woodworking I have ever seen.

i've been working with my planes for a few months now and this lesson has been revelatory. I realize that the boards i have flattened have been almost accidental luck! I can see it's time to develop a little more of a relationship with each piece of stock and not make the mistake of assuming the plane does all the work... i've seen so many "how to flatten a board" videos and this is the most helpful and thorough. thank you Mike!

I got more information out of this video than I have ever watching any other RUclipsr. This is quite refreshing and actually inspires you to become a better woodworker. Great information!

This video explains this process much better than other people's.

Two videos, ten years, nearly a million views; no annoying music, no clickbait thumbnails, pure info. Absolute legend

Is there a plan available for this bench?

6:43 What i the purpose of an apron with no holes on this side of the bench?

Do you have a hard copy of the Nicholson workbench thanks Paul

I swear these are the sharpest hand saws on the internet! Good job.

This is just about the best video, on this topic, on the internet. Good job Mike Siemsen. Others pay careful attention.

This was great! Thanks Mike 😁

I really like this explanation, one of, if not the best, on this subject. One question - when Mike is using the fore plane along the long edges, what tells him that it is straight? He is still getting shavings along the length.

Just found this video and I have one question... Does "The Naked Woodworker" cover how to make that adjustable crochet or is that covered somewhere else? Is it as simple as just making a sliding wedge? Thanks!

Very nice job of explaining. Very nice indeed! It reminds me of when I was a kid, my father would explain things this way. When we were done, I had a real good understanding. Then he would leave me to try myself, and to perfect my technique. I know he watched me from afar because he would sometimes ask me questions, to see if I needed a little more instruction or if I just needed more experience.

Amazing crap

Brilliant thaanks planning how to use several tricks from this in my day to day frame building. How does that tiny short bench not kill your back? Im 5f-6in and i have a much higher bench that hobbit bwnch would kill me

This explanation clicked with me, really helped me to visualise the whole planing process. Gonna give it a go next time I'm in the shop. Hopefully I can be more efficient and rely less on trial and error

Just Great!

Чудово!

Сильний майстер. Мабуть коріння українське.

Станок простий і геніальний.

Просто жах, як багато треба мати інструментів столяру!

Ух ти! Я хочу такий станок зробити собі. Дякую з показ. Привіт з України, яку дияволи намагаються знищити шляхом геноциду на очах всього жорстокого світу.

I've had the chance to use this table a couple of times now. It's fun to whip out in front of people:) I can see what people are talking about when they say the legs are delicate, but they're design to support a "mostly" vertical load, not be torqued from the side or pushed back into place. If you just let the table open or close on it's own and don't force anything, it works great ruclips.net/user/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh Once it's set up, it's pretty solid. My only gripe would probably be related to the clamps provided. They're not the highest quality. They do the job, so no big deal, but they could be better. All in all, pretty cool gadget.

This is an amazing demonstration. For the first time this Reb wishes he lived up north so he could learn from Mike in person. Anyone building a workbench (as I am right now) must consider this mandatory viewing.

Could you please tell me more about the planing stops? I like the diminutive design compared to the 2x2 blocks seen elsewhere - they seem to be in 3/4" holes, like all the other holes, but mortised? Did you make your own? Thanks!

This was great instruction. It helps me understand the best way to use my fore plane, try plane and smoother.

Great video! There are countess others on BUILDING a workbench, but this is the best one I've found on how to USE one.

Novisitol? 😂😂😂 I started typing it in to a search engine and smacked my head before I was done.

The shim is under the corner of the board because it doesn't sit flat on the bench. The shim keeps the board from rocking as you plane.

I have a question. When you were marking the high and low spots you had a shim on the one corner of the board. Wouldn't the shim give you a misrepresentation of the board profile. Learning a lot, and appreciate your knowledge.

thank you!

WOW TOO MUCH WORK !!!!!!!

Thanks.

What a great teacher

Hello Mike, I’ve got the naked woodworker videos and I’m getting ready to make the bench. Do you feel it would be sturdy enough as a 5 foot bench? Thanks, Matt

Do you offer plans to build this bench in this video. This is a good size for my small 12x12 shop. Thank you very much!

Nice, after retiring at 65 I just got into some woodworking. Man I wish I seen this earlier. Great video. Awesome bench
