Heart, Art and Wood-Heartwood
My interest in building woodworking benches started in vocational school Salpaus in Finland, where I studied the three year boat building course. The school had old and poorly designed workbenches and I quickly realized that the basis for dealing with proper woodworking was good solid workbench. At the boat building courses I also made my first woodworking bench, shaker style cabinet base workbench. After studying at the vocational school, I learned about the construction of the woodworking benches and I became a big fan of Christopher Schwarz and Richard Maguire. On 2014 I established my one small one man business Heartwood OÜ.
I really enjoy building woodworking benches. Here, on the picture, are some of my latest creations.

Those are absolutely beautiful. If I didn't have a bench I would be wanting one of yours.
Awesome. I discovered a couple of years ago that the most enjoyable project I've done is my workbench. I wish I could build more workbenches. I'm happy with mine though. Maybe sometime when I get into a bigger shop.
