This is exactly what I am looking for. Did you screw to the frame to the horizontal or vertical studs? in my case, I have to end the right side of the frame before reaching the next vertical stud so I am wondering if it is solid enough with only the decorative support. My kitchen wall does have the lowest horizontal stud at about 19" high from the ground. If I want to nail the frame to the horizontal stud, my benchtop would be around 21" tall which is a little high. What's your benchtop height?
if you can remember off the top of your head, what depth did you go with for seating? also, would you say that depth is not deep enough, too deep, or "just right"? thanks in advance.
Thanks for such great video and build. Nice edit and presentation over all. Quick question: The extra 2x4 that you added to the bottom... did u face join it to the 2x4 that is now a 2.5in of the frame?
I’m not sure which specific one you’re referring to but there is a SketchUp model to buy in the description that gives you access to all the dimensions in the model
What is the trick with masking tape around the paint can....is that to stop paint running into the groove? Nice build by the way, how long did it take?
I saw it in a tips and tricks video somewhere and figured I’d give it a try. It’s more to prevent run off down the side. It worked pretty well! Took about two full days start to finish that - that includes filming though
It’s a method I picked up that rounds over the veneer slightly so when you go to sand it lightly you preserve the veneer but take down the sharp edge. I do it pretty much now on every plywood project that is furniture based.
Should have taken the time to notch legs to fit molding. Old style molding is nearly impossible to match when you remodel later on and someone if not you will remodel. When making changes to existing structure of any room you should always account for the next potential projects. This way, that next person doing the project respects your craftsmanship, rather than saying "WTF was this person thinking" as they calculate this extra cost you have bestowed upon them.
Not sure what you mean by old style molding but these baseboards were installed two years ago when our house was flipped before we purchased it. I don’t think for one second it would be any more difficult than bringing to my local but box store, matching it, and purchasing two pieces of base boards to replace. I get your thinking, but this seems quite trivial.
@@workshop_edits I respectfully disagree. I could elaborate elegantly a rebuttal, but I doubt you'd care or even appreciate that. Criticism isn't always a bad thing it can be a valuable lesson learned.
I already said I understand your thinking - I always take people’s critiques. I just disagree with it for this project in my home in particular. Cheers
Good job!!! We are taking your idea and building us one too 🤗 thank you for such an easy, to the point video oh how to build it
Good luck! 10/10 would recommend it - it transformed that whole space for us and make it such a “spot” in our house to congregate.
Nice build! This is my next project. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Same
Nice breakfast nook Zach! Thank you for sharing the video with us!💖👍👌😎JP
Thanks for watching!
Your very welcome Zach! Have a great week!😎
FABULOUS! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Parece fácil, lo haces ver así! Cool video bro

Vertical studs + decorative supports should be plenty. Can always add more - good luck

The bench is 16.5” deep and to my utter shock it pretty much is perfect depth having used it now for the past year ish
Great video. This is exactly what I’m looking for! How much was the cost of this, roughly? Thanks!
Little over $100. The custom cushions were the real big cost
Thanks for such great video and build. Nice edit and presentation over all. Quick question: The extra 2x4 that you added to the bottom... did u face join it to the 2x4 that is now a 2.5in of the frame?
Yes! It was the same width as the framing so everything was flushed up and hidden
@@workshop_edits Makes perfect sense and thanks for such quick reply. Also, great creativity on the design. Cheers!
Hey, one more question pls. For reference, how long did you cut your cross supports? Thanks in advance
I’m not sure which specific one you’re referring to but there is a SketchUp model to buy in the description that gives you access to all the dimensions in the model
@@workshop_edits oh didn't see. Thanks.

What were you doing w the side of your screwdriver, on the plywood edge?
It’s a method I picked up that rounds over the veneer slightly so when you go to sand it lightly you preserve the veneer but take down the sharp edge. I do it pretty much now on every plywood project that is furniture based.
Workshop Edits nice! I haven’t seen that before. Another question: does plywood end grain take the paint ok? Vs adding a veneer.
I did two coats but it took it really well. You can’t see the layers in any place. One more coat would blend it al together as one piece
Great job. What breed is your Dog? Very cute Dog.
Thanks! She’s a Bernese mountain dog
