Showing the process of making a bench from @highdesertdesignweek
The creator demonstrates the process of building a unique bench by fitting custom-carved rocks and wood together. They start by showing the final assembly, then detail how they cut and shape a large rock into a precise square using an angle grinder and chisel. Next, they show the woodworking process, using a template and handheld power tools to cut the wooden components and create perfectly matching holes and notches, before finally assembling the entire piece.

Transcript excerpt
Today, we're making rocks and wood fit together to make a bench. I yes three rocks and there's three pieces of good. And believe it or not, this is easier than it looks. Let's start with the most difficult detail, which involves whittling down a rock shaped rock into a square. Remember this little square piece of particle board that I'm using to trace an outline on the rock? That's gonna come in handy later. I'm using my angle grinder just to follow the lines, but the blade isn't big enough to cut all the way through. So So I established the perimeter and then just cut a bunch of other lines so I can chip away with my hammer and chisel. It took me about forty five minutes to whittle this down to a rock square that matches the particle board square. Now I can build a template around that original square, check to make sure the rock fits, and start on the woodworking. You don't need a full wood shop to do woodworking because you can actually do a lot with a few basic handheld power tools. I cut the pieces with my circular saw, and now I can clamp down that template and use it as a guide for my palm router to cut a square shaped hole. There's some wood to wood connections as well. And
