    I just finished the Bench, and it is very sturdy. Wife says with finish it would look good on our front porch! Off to the Stain Store! Donald, thank you for making the video and the plan. Both helped a lot. My 11 year old grandsons may build some Benches during Spring Break next week - we'll see.

      Very cool. I also made a video on how I finished this bench. Please post pictures on my Facebook page when you get it finished. I would love to see it!

      I don't do Facebook, but I did post my project on Lumberjocks, with a mention of your RUclips channel and this project. We have now built 4 benches to your design. lumberjocks.com/projects/356105

    A man shows how to build a nice simple bench and some people give him a thumbs down? Wow.
    Nice bench Bro. Thank you for the video.

      Thank you very much for your support. It is greatly appreciated! Thumbs down happen on all videos. You learn to ignore it after a while.

    Awesome video. My son is going to make 3 of these as part of a nature trail he is creating for his Eagle Scout project. We've watched the video several times and he's looking forward to building them with his friends. Thanks for also including the written info for materials as well. Wish him luck!!

      Thank you very much! That is great to hear. My older son is bridging to Boy Scouts next week and I just finished building his Cub Scout pack a new bridge. Please post pics of the benches on my Facebook page. I would love to see them when they are finished!

    Brilliant, that is exactly the type of bench seat I was looking for, I drew out something very similar but yours if far more straightforward and cost effective. Thanks a lot, you saved me a lot of head scratching.

    Old video but great little bench. I really like your tools. I have started a nice 18 Volt Ryobi collection myself. They are kind of addictive as each time I go to Home Depot I tend to come back to my shop with a new tool. Haven't found the need to buy their powered caulk gun yet. Since you made this video in 2015 Ryobi has doubled or tripled what they offer.

    • @FunWithWoodworking
      @FunWithWoodworking  5 лет назад

      I like all the new ones that have come out with as well. My general rule for purchasing new tools is to only buy them when they are needed for a project. Otherwise they tend to sit around and take up space.

    Using what I have so trying to make this out of 4 2x4's and a 2x3. The rough cut is done for gluing ( only have four clamps ) but I think I may need to use the off cuts for some bracing to support the joins. Will show a photo when done. First proper project after a simple pallet planter so thanks for the inspiration.

      *TopFineWoodworking. Com* is a fantastic website about wood working. I took various classes as well as finished a one year diploma in carpentry at a local tech college; this is much better than any book I worked out of during those lessons. It explains everything regarding woodworking as well as complements it with helpful photos.?
