The most difficult part of making furniture is creating the design. I share some of the thought process for creating my Shaker inspired bench. I also share a little about the construction of this beautiful piece of furniture. Some woodworkers may wonder what joinery is acceptable or taboo in their project, it will surprise many woodworkers what type of joinery I used in this bench. I share some construction technique but this is not intended to be a "how to" video. Instead, it is a video that shares some of the principles that I considered when creating this bench. I hope that the thoughts and techniques shared in this video will help other woodworkers with the design and construction of their projects.
