Finally finished the bench! It ended up with the following dimensions ; 34 1/2″ W x 6′ L x 37 1/2″ H. Paul, I want to thank you again, because of your You Tube videos covering the bench. They connected me to your community and gave me the push/knowledge I needed to get started! I could not have done this without the support and sharing from all of you. Thank you!

You must be logged in to view attached files.I tend to agree with Florian, Darren. From my experience in the past if you get to much info right away you 1) don’t appreciate what you’re getting 2) get bogged down in the mass of info and can’t act on the knowledge. Also the time between videos gives you time to internalize the techniques Paul is teaching through thought and practice.
I do understand your want to watch more as I feel the same way, but it makes you hungry for the next one. I think the rate of videos is perfect and affordable.
I got lucky and found an old Columbian quick release 10″ vice at a yard sale for $25 about three years ago. Thing weighs a ton and is the same exact model I used in high school wood shop.This company supplied schools across the US and was bought out by Wilton a while back. Saw some on ebay last week for good prices. Great vices.
This is an interesting thread! As far as books are concerned, i really enjoy Eric Sloane’s books on old tools and wood.he also writes about weather and old forecasting technique.
Paul’s method of teaching reminds me of an old saying. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. He doesn’t just teach you to make this particular box but a method, complete with a small tool set, that will have you building things for a lifetime. Also, weaved into his working wood techniques are lessons for living life.
Just my 2 cents.
