Brian Boggs: Boggs Bench educational woodworking

47K subscribers

Brian Boggs has been building chairs since 1982 — without formal training, with $50 in hand tools, and with a level of precision that has defined his career ever since. This channel is where he teaches. Not just the steps, but the thinking behind them. The why behind the how. You'll find deep dives into bandsaw technique, card scrapers, joinery, wood selection, tool design, and the principles that separate woodworkers who accumulate error from those who don't. Brian designed the Boggs spokeshave — Lie-Nielsen has been manufacturing and selling it worldwide for over 20 years. He has built tools and machines when none existed that could do what he needed. He teaches from that same place: first-hand, specific, and earned. Based in Asheville, NC. Educational content at boggsbench.com.
