Shoe and Laundry Storage Bench 

The Russian doll animation and the shoes walking away are the little things that make me watch every single one of your videos as soon as they pop up in my feed. Each video is WAY more than just 15 minutes of somebody cutting and gluing wood. Genius.

Man Frank, you are a Renaissance man for sure. It's a project like that that turns a house into a home, and makes a feel warmer...more welcoming. Props.

This looked like a timely project on it's own. However with the stop-motion and animations, this shows you are not a lazy man! Fantastic craftsmanship!

When I was a kid, I lived for shows like this old house, and the instructional VHS that came with our Kirby G4. This guy is talented in so many more ways than just woodworking. His videography skills are on point, editing/stop motion is amazing. Even had a sense of humor! Fascinating channel - can't wait to watch more!

Love the humour in the stop motion. My favourite parts of your vids.

Thanks Frank. Of all the woodworking videos on RU-vid yours motivate me the most to get out in the shop and make something. I think it is the way you show how you attacked the build instead of trying to teach me how to build it your way. It is funny to me that kids shoe storage is the exact problem our house is having to deal with this week. Must be a common thing in households everywhere.

I like that you are not long on words but explain everything short and simple.

the voiceover and video editing + your finishing work are SUPER

The little natural lighting animation at the end is lovely. The little animation bits are a surprising joy in your work, do keep doing that. a very Scandinavian build. Using space well is a wonderful life skill.

I appreciate your video style. (Stop motion). Adds a level of professionalism. Very nice.

Frank, You are wonderful father (on camera, my only perspective! lol), with tremendous patience. I enjoy your interactions with your children. I tried hard to be the same with my daughters, and to date at least, they give my high marks! Thank you for sharing your experiences!

I LOVE your videos!!!!! Please post more frequently. I loved watching the wood rights shop growing up and the new Yankee work shop. This old house and bob villa too! NONE of those are as entertaining as your videos. Thanks, Ellic

WOW, as a video editor guy AND a woodworker, I would like to congratulate you on an AWESOMELY produced video! NICE job on the woodworking too. GREAT JOB on both & thank you for doing this.

Watching this after the latest milling video in August 2019. It’s neat see how much Calvin has grown!

Huge difference! You made a LOT of work look fun and simple. Thanks for sharing.

Upper cabinets give the impression of more space, while floor storing units take out from the rooms floor area. They usually are used to give the room a less cluttered look. But this is all about preferences. You have done a great job. I love the bench.

Frank again you did something amazing I love the humor you put into your videos.

Over 15mins and I wasn't board for a second. Very nice work and fantastic editing. I like the time laps at 5:02 11:37 12:18 This is one of the best woodworking videos on RU-vid.

Beautiful frank howarth Like how you put the strip of oak edge banding on the bench to make it look thicker, nice touch.

Super production on the video....Your presentations are so enjoyable to watch.

Your lazy, soft, raspy voice is just so soothing for some reason.

Frank, your videos are some of the best value for the time invested on the internet. You are a fine teacher, a wonderful woodwoorker and a good grandpa, as well. Thank you for doing these shows, I learn so much from you each time.

I like the time laps with the bird shadows at the end. Great job sir on the project and the videography.

one of the best woodworking shops I have seen yet, better than nice. You made that look like art, project start to finish awesome

Great looking cabinets for the laundry room, can't wait for the coat rack. Thanks Frank, and thank the kids.

Looks good! Only thing I would of done different was continued the bench up the vertical side of the shelf so the bench on the top of the shelf doesn't drop off like it does. All in all I like it, Frank Howarth for President!

You are the Bob Ross of Woodworking!

I love your design for the top of the vertical and horizontal pieces...very classy. And love seeing the kids involved! Thanks for sharing!

Very sleek looking. My two favorite parts were your forceful shoes, and the mad scientist gloves! :)

I like your work, the passion that you work with and the result, but most of all I like your self build working area!

That mega-long clamp is redonkulous! Since i can't nearly fit that in my work shed, I love the wedge clamp tip. Thanks!

Very nice design, nice craftemenship and awsome video production! Thanks

First I wanted to say how much I like the cabinets! The other was to say how much I enjoyed the work you did putting soooooo many little pieces of humor in and the camera angles/movement. Too any to list here! Watched them all again a few times. Thanks for sharing.

Watching this again after so many years, its interesting to see Franks kids small again, but look at all that empty space in the workshop.

I can't bloody stop watching your videos!!!

It doesn't happen often, but every once in a while youtube suggests a video that I actually want to watch and channels like Frank's get another sub and multiple likes! Great content Frank. Thankyou!

Frank, your workshop is incredible! This step by step video shows it was a considerably big project, but the finished look at 13:62 shows that it was a huge success. Congratulations and keep sharing!

that old dewalt machine is fantastic. you raise the youtuber video editing to a new level.

When you were cutting that 45 degree angle with the cut off skimming that big blade, I thought your eyes couldn't get any larger looking to see if that piece was going airborne. Love the video Frank and the stop motion is amazing

You have entirely too much fun doing these videos. . . God Bless you!

Great work. I also like the way the video is presented, brief but concise.

The kids have grown so much in your recent videos!

Very creative Frank, Thanks for the quality viewing.

I am always excited to see another video from you pop up in my subscription feed. They are always enjoyable. Thank you for making them and sharing with me!

Dude, honestly if I would have a shop back home I would pay you airplane ticket took care about your accommodation and food so just that you could make my home furniture unique and costum built... my respect for what you are doing ;)

Beautiful organizer and entertaining as usual

I'm always beside myself at your editing (and of course your woodworking). The cat-like butt-wiggle before the vertical top jumped up was most excellent. Great stuff Frank.

Superb project Frank. A pleasure to watch your videos

After seeing how you have to make these videos I am more impressed with your work Frank. Very nice project.

Yes! I have to go to work, but I am SO watching this when I get home.

you're a hoot Frank...hands down most entertaining shop site ...every one has me laughing and learning .....keep it up......

always fun to watch your movies. Stop motion and sudden speedup on the stapler :D Great project, keep up the good work Frank!

You make projects seem so simple and fun, Frank

Love the shoes giving the bin a kick to get them going. Nice touch.

Your kids are adorable. They had so much curiosity.

Another great video Frank. Love the clean and simple look.

I'm surprised there was anything else in your house for you to do a project on! Excellent job and incredibly enjoyable video to watch, as always. It's always calming to watch you build things.

Great video as normal! I got a good laugh when your son put the cyclone lid up to the camera. That "thingy" that leaked water when loosened is the stem and packing nut for a valve.

Another fantastic production Frank, now comes the antagonising wait until your next one, all the best.

I could watch your videos all day!

YOU ARE AN AMAZING GUY. Thanks for your vídeos. Make my days better.

your stop-motion is always so entertaining!

I love the little stop motion bits inside the videos keep it up

Incredibly well done! Thanks for sharing!

I really enjoy your stop motion videos and the sound effects. I look forward to seeing your new woodworking projects.

As usual your videos are a pleasure to see. I love yours Director Cut. I learned how important it is trough your videos because the way you make appear intersting and amusing every single wood cut and operation you do in your projects. thank you again to teach and share your knowledge with all of us. My sunday is a better day now, and my pencil is flying all over paper drawing projects and ideas. Have a great day with all your family. Chris

I discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago and by far it is now my favorite one. It is so instructional in so many areas. Many, many thanks from France.

Great video as always Frank, the stop motion is amazing All the best Robbie

Another great video Frank! I hope to create such wonderful things for my wife and kids one day. You're a fantastic craftsman, cinematographer, husband and father!

Very organized and practical. Great place to sit and put your boots on. Video editing is killer as usual. Thanks, Vinny

It's been said already but I will add my comments... Great video work. When you get tired of woodwork you can take up video production. I have watched all you series and think they are great. I need to update my laundry and will be incorporating some of your ideas. Again Great Work

Amazing project, I kind of want to adopt this to a bed/couch frame in my smaller room and to have that storage space. Also, I absolutely love that stop frame stuff you did. That must have taken forever but rest assured, I think it was worth it as it made the video way more fun to watch. Oh how I miss stop frame animation.

I agree 100% with what you said about dadoes. I have been building a lot of cabinets as I build up my shop and dadoes really help to self-align everything.

I have to say, I love the way you explain everything you do in your projects, you make us feel like we are right there with you, I tip my hat to ya. Kepp up the great work, and thanks for sharing!

Your house has a lot of mysterious fixtures and wiring. Must keep things interesting :)

You're an artist Frank.

haha! Build around an electrical outlet and water line! My philosophy is that electricity isn't a hobby. I totally understand, but man--our projects will come out better if we fix the mechanical problems first, like you did with the smooth wall surface. You're putting the sexy stuff over what needs to be fixed which is to bring that duplex electrical receptacle out flush with your cabinet. Just my opinion. Beautiful work as always and even though you're not too keen on that high shine for the bench, I think it looks amazing.

Thank you for your time. It took a lot to make such quality video. Good luck.

just found your videos, they are amazing. inspires me to learn more about woodworking.

How does he not have hundreds of thousands of subs his videos are awesome

Sounds silly I know, but it makes my day when you put out a new video! Thanks, nice job, and keep them coming!

Very cool project Frank! The beginning of this vid was just awesome with all the sound effects. I was satisfied just watching that lol. Good stuff. Be safe.

If you don't like the shine of your finish, you can use fine steel wool. You'll get a flat finish. For a semi-gloss finish, use steel wool, then wax. I use carnauba wax, but bees wax works although. I tried flat or semi-gloss finishes, but there is 2 thing I don't like about it. You have to use gloss finish for the first coats, and the semi-gloss or flat finish only on the last coat. And secondly, they put some flattening agent in the finish, and I guess I tend to push the flattening agent away as I'm brushing, so I get an aneven "flatness". That's why I like the steel wool trick better. Thanks for the many videos you make. I just dicovered you channel and it's one of my favorite.

Sweet video, Frank. It's like DIY Ikea-style (but better). Fantastic idea cutting the holes for the power outlets. Might have to get out the hole-saw now and modify some of our own furniture. Really nice workshop by the way. keep it up!

The pacing of these videos is so perfect...

Great work and look at all that space you gained in return...

You're a genius, excellent video frank!

Hi Frank, thanks for making the effort to share.

I am so lucky to have found your channel and immediately subscribed. To me you are an inspiration to get to my shop and keep going with my projects. Thank you so much for your videos; you presentations are truly honest, interesting and humble which makes them so welcoming. Thanks for the good vibrations :)

2 minutes in I'm already laughing my ass off. Too funny. That video was completely enjoyable to watch. The production is top notch, and your attention to detail I can certainly appreciate. I'm becoming more Swiss-German as my days pass.

I really like your videos, with the stop motion and all... great job keep em coming. Good luck.

A Great video Frank, and a lovely storage unit. Cheers Mike

Absolutely Love your video !! Wonderful wood work let alone that wood shop is to die for !!! Your video graphics are super fun to watch. Too bad shoes really don't walk themselves to where they go LOL. Love your videos they are the greatest for detail and super easy for learning. Thanks for sharing them.

dank I really love your work! and your films are fun, always a story not just a DYI video.

WoW! Much Better ! its now a nice room! No more need to move!

Frank - great project, but I think you may have an electrical code issue covering up the access plate on your receptacle outlet. Not a big thing now, but a good inspector might catch it when you are selling the house.

Great video and great project Frank, thanks for posting. Always love your vids

Wow thats a beauty table saw. Great job Mr Howarth!!

Your work is an inspiration. Good job!!!

Nice job,i like all the videos and proyects you do, thanks for sharing,and i'm also impressed with your workshop, you have a fortune invested in machines and tools, is like a dream to have a workshop like yours. Once again, thanks for sharing.
