Awesome Jesper!!! Mate I love your videos. I'm so glad that I started following you so early in your RU-vid journey & can't wait to see how deservingly popular you become. Your work & your videos are beautiful mate, keep it up
Hi Sam, thank you so much for the wonderful comment, and congrats with the fine price at @rubbishwood21 - much deserved! You have some unique ideas and I'm very keen on following your work in the future mate! Keep it up!
Thank you Jesper for this beautiful clip. I imagined you would run yr flame over the waxed surface and then lab skin buff to a hard finish. I love yr tree hook and log jig setup.🙏🇦🇺
Hola! 🖐These benches are absolutely amazing 🤩I had a couple of logs that I wanted to turn into benches BUT I waited too long and they rotted away 😣😫😢😭I had to turn them into firewood. I hope to come across a couple of logs and get another shot at this. Love the closing, family and friends is what it is all about 😉Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊
Woah, makes perfect sense having a bandsaw like that if you have such easy access to logs, congrats on the new toy! The benches look great, perfect use case for burning wood to seal them. 👍
Thanks Mario! Yeah the word mush have spread, because people have started to drop off their wood here, or call me when they have something they want to get rid off. I'm doing a lot of cutting with the bandsaw, and trying to learn about drying wood! Matt Cremona is your friend in that area!
Hello Jesper, Absolutely great and inspiring video! This video made me actually go out and buy the tenon cutter to make stuff with my own logs. I have one question though: @8:54 you show a metal-polishing disc. Is this disc made of felt or an abrasive material? Looks like felt, But I would like to be sure ;-)
Hey there! So glad to hear you're diving into projects with a new tenon cutter, that's awesome! The disc you're asking about at 8:54 is actually a felt polishing disc. Works like a charm for the final touch! What are you planning to build with your new tool? 🛠️ And remember, a cup of coffee can really fuel those building sessions! ☕
@@JesperMakes Well I was planning to use the slabs for retainer walls along the paths on my terrain, since it basically is a steep slope. Will still do that, but I recently got a chainsaw mill and will make benches from the first slabs. They will be placed down in the forest by the river 😁
Benches by the river, now that's a setting that's hard to beat! Sounds like a fantastic plan and a great way to enjoy nature even more. Keep us updated on your progress, yeah? 🛠️ Cheers! 🍻
Great video and information. Love your content Question though, Jesper, You’re always walking into that tall grass for your timber/lumber like in this video and others, dude do you ever see snakes and I’m sure they are hiding under that old wood! You are bad to the bone!!!! Keep up the good work and be careful!!!
This is Denmark and we rarely see snakes, and if we do, they are completely harmless. I mostly see mice nests and other small 4-legged friends when I looking at the wood stacked up outside.
😁🤩😍 My dad was a carpenter. I always wanted to be, however, girls were not allowed to take SHOP classes way back when! Now, in my advanced years, I live vicariously through channels like yours (which is the BEST)!
Love these benches! After burning the wood I normally use a coarse brush to remove most of the charcoaled wood residue, it saves me sandpaper that I rarely use after burning. The burning itself smoothes out the wood. Keep it comming!
I'd be curious to know how they are a year later. Typically you wait for the wood to dry so you don't have to worry about shrinkage. How are they holding up?
Hi Dave, they are holding up great so far. It's poplar and it's known for not splitting and cracking when drying, so nothing of that. Legs are still sitting tight in their joints, no rot, they are just much lighter to carry. I think I'll wait another year and make a video about how they are doing, perhaps make a re-edit of the original one with the updates. Cheers
I'm also a big fan of Cremona, great guy. His videos are my teachers for milling wood. What are you up to? I like your trim router video, I recently got the Makita corded trim router thing and I still can't find my way around it, your video was a great help!
That band saw might be your new best friend! The auger drill bit is hard on your drills and I'm guessing, hard on your wrist as well. I am a little impatient at times, so I like the idea of making the benches with 'fresh' wood. They turned out beautiful and I'm sure they will stand the test of time. I'm drinking coffee and smiling watching your video! Take care.
It is my best new friend, but I also bought the Makita 40V drill, and there is no way to make tenons without it, as that is really hard on the drills! I'm both impatient and very patient, so I'm sawing and drying wood to use in the coming years, but I'm also very keen to try and use wet wood for certain projects as the log benches. I'm also thinking that sidings for buildings could be fresh wood, if you attach it so it can dry and move while being a part of a building. Thank you for your support!
Hey Jesxper matye.. U said about Mehmet's channel but where is the link for it bro?? I cannot see it in the description.. U said he had great tips for building out a workshop which is why I was looking for his channel but I cannot see it here..
In my opinion you have the best woodworking channel on RU-vid. Love this content, keep it coming. The videos are very well done and all of your work is inspiring
Hey there! 'They are holding up very fine! No rot or decay, they have just become lighter. ! What's got you watching the video multiple times? Got a project in mind?
@@JesperMakes honestly I really like the way you do projects, your editing, and in a way it brings me peace. I watch all of your videos many times for inspiration or when I feel down. These older videos especially are very authentic. Thank you brother ♥️
@@JesperMakes also I was curious how green logs would hold up over time outside, glad to hear they are doing good! I thought maybe they would have split by now. Thank you for your reply
Hey Jesper. Just watching all the work you put into those benches makes me tired! But I must say I really enjoyed watching this video. Great build, and very nice to see your nice new toy. Cheers!
Jamie! Yes to sticker swap! I'm sooo looking forward to your second video, I hope my bench work didn't make you too tired to make your own vids 😜🍻🍻 Cheers from Denmark
Hola amigo, soy Pablo de Chile, quiero preguntar cómo conseguir esa herramienta para redondear las puntas de las maderas, ya que en chile no se encuentra.saludos.
Nice Jesper! Love the video, looks like you get something done. Very impressed with the finish on those benches. 2 years after the video, how are they now? My experience with saw horses (log version) I built for my 1 and 2 man crosscut saws - is that either the tenons have to be tapered (which is the version I picked) or I need to drill the hole all the way through and wedge it from the topside, or the wood will shrink and the legs become loose. With the tapered version, which can be made with a simple axe, I sometimes have to hammer the legs in further before use, because of wood movement, but it works perfectly.
Your videos are awesome. The presentation is what I love the most along with your honesty about not being master of everything. Keep up the good work. God bless you mate. 👍
Nice project. Love the music! I live at 4400' in the high desert so its nice to see such a lush landscape. I bought a box of round tenon cutters from a friend a few years ago. And recently had to take down a bunch of 40' pine trees that died on our old farm because the water table dropped. I'm still looking for inspiration on what to do with them.
Absolutely, mixing modern tools with old-world craftsmanship methods is like having the best of both worlds; it allows for precision while retaining that handcrafted charm. It's all about keeping the soul in the build, right? What's your favorite "old world" method to use in a project? Cheers! 🛠☕
You use the 2" auger bit to make the holes. But what are you using to make the legs. I can't tell what that is on your drill?. Is there a name for that one?
Love the Danish sense of humour. Had to update after watching to the end, I have seen several videos on how to make such a bench, this one was by far the most elegant both in terms of the method used and the end result. Your focus on using natural materials and treatments, it's art.
Hello Jesper, I loved the authentic bench made of logs. Your waxing technique is amazing. You have created decorati and authentic benches. The woodworking techniques you used were interesting and beautiful. Congratulations. Again, you did a good job. Thank you for sharing. And my friend, you have the letter. Thank you so much for showing my tag and talking about me. It was great. Stay healthy and happy. See you. Big greetings. Your friend Mehmet
