That is a beautiful bench and I enjoy the look that the different woods add to it.

This is a bench that any of us would love to have in our shop.

Great looking bench.

Classical nice looking bench. can you enclose base and sell it for a bartop to a rich patron?

-- Sam, upstate

Great bench. What’s the turquoise looking stuff on the tail vise

-- a little bit of stupid goes a long way

i love this bench birdman, and so do you i know you wouldn’t sell it for a million dollars. time to get it dirty and get some new projects rollin.

Wow Steve

Hey John if Steves not up for it I’ll take that order :-)) what are you going to do make 10 of those killer bird houses all at once?

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

After seeing this bench i,m going to have to raise the price of my birdhouses to $ 50 ,000 a piece .

Stunning bench!

John, you were off by 10k. It’s $30,000 not $20,000. So your birdhouse would need to be $60,000. This is definitely a nice bench.
Steve, if you sell this for $30,000 let me know how and where you sold it. I’d like to make a few at that price.

It was $20,000 when i first posted but it went up $ 10,000 shortly after , inflation i guess . Artist must charge about a thousand dollars an hr ?
I could fill up a shop with nice tools for $30,000 :)

OUTSTANDING BENCH

I must say thats a beautiful and unique workbench, very well done. Now for the price part. Realistically, you would be fortunate and lucky to get that kind of money for this, go take a look at Rj and his work benches in his projects, you can find him in my buddies list if you so desire. You’ve done a great job on this, and should be very proud of it.

-- Dan Wiggins

Nicely done! I’d hang on to it – a bench like that makes a great impression on clients for future sales!

Building ourselves some heavy custom made benches is also on my to-do list. Which – as of now I’d have to live to 306 to achieve if nothing else is added.

-- Eric M. Saperstein, Master Craftsman www.artisansofthevalley.com

Marvelous work, Steven, but I think the top is too heavy. Please don’t move again for a long time. Godspeed.

-- Measure once, cut twice

Beautiful bench! You did a great job on it. Why would you want to sell it! I think you will regret it someday if you do. I have made some things for me over the years and now wish I had kept them. If you do find someone who is willing to pay that much money for a work bench, build it for them and put their name on it.

God Bless

i dont have the greatest intention on selling it but to get that much money i can make another one if i feel like it. i put over 250 hrs in it an im damn proud of all the new techniques i learned and appilied them efficiently so i dont even have a problem with pricing it at what it is. its art and function.

Thirty dollars that’s quite reasonable does that include shipping to the UK ??? L O L Alistair
