We live in Western Pa. and Have around 100 Acres of Land, About 1/2 is ours the rest is my moms, We have 4 kids and one grandchild, 3 Golden Retrievers and one Cat. We enjoy working on our property and making improvements. We sell firewood and soon will be selling hardwood lumber.
Good Morning to all! This looks like a good Saturday morning project.
Like and enjoy the videos!
I built mine on a Thursday rather than a Saturday, but it still came out great!! Thanks for the video and the link to the plans.
Great Job Mike! Really appreciate your no-nonsense, get-to-the-point instructions.
Enjoyed watching this build! Love the fact that you don't "not mention" the small errors but you "own them" and showed how to correct them. The benches will be perfect for the wedding AND the patio area. #HaveADay
Mike - Great looking bench, and is designed simple enough I feel confident I could build one. Just noticed Mark Lengal's comment - what an act of generosity, giving away a $100 bench. Blessings to you and the family. Hi to Melissa, Hunter, Hannah, and Eva.
Good looking park bench!!! We built 52 of those built out of cedar for the county park last year. Once they dryed out, we used a natural stain and sealer, followed by 2 coats of polyurethane. Turned out great
Nice job. Better put some cup holders in the armrests for those lounging around the pool parties.
I couldn’t say that fast enough!
Nice garden bench. Looks easy to build. Thank you for the step by step instructions.
Already had the wood and plans for a different bench. Tossed those plans and will pick up what else I need. Glad I found this.
Just down loaded the plans. This would look good on front porch of home. That was a nice build that even I can do[I thunk!]! Have a good day and be safe.
Nice work Mike. Try to get a Yellawood sponsorship for the next ones.
Have a productive day.
Ha, Ha, Ha. When you look at the end of the video and you're behind the bench you look like "Tim Conway" when he was doing his dorf comedy sketches. Just got a laugh from that. LOL
ROFL, I thought the same thing!! :)
I see it
I was just going to say the same thing. I had to look up Tim Conway to figure out the skit name Dorf. That is so funny. Great video, but I'm not sure if I'll ever look at Mike the same. Dang that's funny
Thaaaat's who I was trying to recall,.. I knew there was something funny about that camera angle and Mike,...good one!
I was thinking the same thing
Greetings Mike! Thank you for the Outdoor Garden Bench project, I recently constructed one and I just love it. I'm thinking about modifying the plan to seat three people. I came to the conclusion that the extra 2x4 was not extra. I think it was intended for leg support, to keep the legs from twisting (warping), but was not included in the instructions. I also found and error in the print on the instructions where it shows the cut for the angle, where the armrest meets the back rest. The instruction has 15" and it should be 15 degrees. Mike I really enjoy your post. You really make things simple.
Keep enjoying the outdoors. Thank you.
Nice bench and an easy to follow demonstration
Love it!!! I'll have to build wifey & me one. Job well done Mike.
Really enjoy the details you provided for this do it yourself project. Thank you
Looks good Mike! I built a similar bench but modified it to have a flat shelf across the back for setting down a "beverage" etc.
Very cool bench. We are preparing for a backyard wedding as well. Our youngest daughter. Lost our picnic bench in a wildfire a few years back. Bet the wife would love a few of these to go around the house and possibly out at the cabin! Thanks for the plans.
Thanks for this guys, great explanation and instructions, even surprised myself by making this in an afternoon.
Hey Mike, I loved the video. It was super helpful and easy to complete! I didn't own a
scroll saw or jig saw to make the rounded cuts for the arm rests so I bought two
treated pickets that were rounded on one end. So, I just made a straight cut and it turned out
great. Lots of fun. Thanks again!
Today I finished the 7th of 8 benches. We have 5 two seaters and 2 three seaters and a single 4 seater, but the last one is a little bit heavy. I hope tomorrow to finish the last two seat bench and we're set for the summer. It is a good design!
Hi Mike, I just finished my bench and I love it. Thank you so much for posting.
Thanks for sharing … awesome bench … 🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thank you very much for share your wood work , very nice , I just started to doing one by myself 😉
Good deal!
We have cypress and eastern red cedar/ juniper in my area for rot resistance. but you can also use white oak. It doesn’t wick moisture and it won’t blow away.
Great presentation! Thank you.
Good Morning Mike, thanks for this video. So cool and easy.
Might want to use galvanized carriage bolts to attach the legs to the seat frame. After a couple years even coated deck screws will rust away to needles.
Especially into 'pressure treated' lumber, UNLESS the screw are specially for that kind of lumber.
Dana Harsh...Your comment about deck screws rusting after a couple of years is interesting. I used deck screws into treated pine for an outside project. About 7-8 years later I needed to replace some of the wood pieces but the deck screws that I took out were in almost new condition...I was pleasantly surprised. Maybe it depends on where one lives ? Maybe the deck screws I used were coated for treated lumber? I will have to check my boxes of deck screws and read if it says for treated lumber..??
A sponsored video with five commercial breaks in 19 minutes! That's what makes America great!
Yeah I actually pay extra to RUclips premium to not have to listen to all the commercials. It's awesome and well worth the money😊
Thank you so much, this is just what i was looking for : ) greetings from Colombia.
You need to see if you can find someone locally that can pressure treat lumber. Since you're doing such good lumber anyway and pressure treating doesn't require dried lumber you probably could save lots of money. Just saying, also I think there are some treatments you can put on your own lumber that would be as good as the treated lumber that you're buying at Lowes.
Look up shou sugi ban. It is an ancient wood preserving method.
Hi Mike the bench will look great have a day love from TEXAS
I built a bench like this using the plans but I made my seat frame rails measure 58" so I had to fashion a third leg in between the arm rest frames and it really works fantastic and looks great!
Watched this video when it came out. Home this weekend and building two know. Thanks
Nice simple bench,love it,thank you😊
Nice work there Mike. I’ll take two benches please. I’m sure delivery to AZ won’t be a problem if you and Melissa are heading west this summer. Enjoyed the change up from your daily routine. Say hi to Hunter!
Great build Mike, you should have been a shop teacher. I'm saving this video I'm going to build this bench. Thanks for sharing have a wonderful weekend
You'll have an extra 2x4,
No worries, I always need an extra 2x4 somewhere around the house.
Great job Mike, maybe future benches will come off mill in cedar or maple...?
This could very well be my next project. Thanks Mike!
Thanks for sharing the plan.
Love the video! And thanks for the link to the plans. I got inspired yesterday to build one of these out of scrap lumber and left-over composite decking (in place of the 1 x 6's for the seat and back). I'm sure it would last longer if I went out and bought treated lumber, but I had a bunch of "free" leftover lumber from the framing of our new house). Our builder was even nice enough to leave me a whole box of Timbertech composite screws. The only thing better than a $100 bench is a $0 bench!
Great looking bench Mike. Thanks for sharing and the build demo.
Very nice bench It’s a Must have 👍👍👍
Thanks Mike. I'm gonna try a few of these this spring.
I’m looking to make an easy bench for a friend of mine, I think this will do. So I subscribed to your channel, hit the like button. Thanks for the play by play tutorial…much appreciated ❤❤❤
I’ll be making these soon. Thanks for the idea and plans
I like that bench! I might try to build a couple of them for my lake cottage.
I really like that bench. I’ll have to build one. Thanks 👍👍👍❤️
Been there. Done the daughter's wedding on the property. Take a 10 to 12 inch log. Put it on your mill and spilt it down the center. Cut to bench lengths desired. Flip half round slabs upside down on two larger rounds with V notches cut into them. Wala! "Free" rustic benches that make the guests be like "wow." Beats $100 benches any day. LOL
Nice looking bench!, great job mike!.
Those should work out great for the wedding!. Have a day!.
Nice job. Neat little project. Thanks for sharing. 🇺🇸
Good morning. Thompson Water Seal bout 3-4 coats and they'll last a long time. Did it to my 40ft gooseneck trailer don't regret it at all. Could also use a Sealer that's color coded to match polebarn or the house.
Be safe everybody
Mike. if you are set on building your own benches, use your own lumber and Shou Sugi Ban treat the wood. Way better than PT and has lasted centuries in contract with soil. Will have to seal the seating surfaces. Great foamily assembly-line project.
Now if you only knew someone with a sawmill...but seriously take that red pine and build your benches and put a shou sugi ban finish on them. I believe they will last as long as the pressure treated benches
My exact thoughts 👍
That came out nice and an easy build...
those are good looking 2 x 4 's
Love the visual joke at 18:22, made me larf and larf an larf
Dang! Well done... THANKS!
Awesome job Mike!
Great job! Looks good.
beautiful bench !!!!! job well done.
Was just thinking of making a bench. This helps no end 👍
Amazing
Great instructional video Mike. I might just try it.
Love the fast motion video.
nice job!
Great job with the filming of this instructional video. Now you can have the rest of the family build the remaining benches right? With so many thou make some patterns so you won't have to measure as much and increase accuracy.
Nice job MIke!
A few of those would look good around my lake.
I have left over decking that I may build one of these
Great project , Thanks
Nice presentation!
if you had time or if you have any left from the woodshed that red pine would work well too
An old boss of mine used to say “pressure makes diamonds”....you can add that to your vocabulary
I used to work for a computer that had “pressure makes diamonds” as one of its mottos. We used to say “pressure makes dog food” instead
I love your bench it turned out really nice
Loved the last scene and your sense of humor! Who was that guy, Johnny Bench? LOL
good job
I'm repeating this comment. i just saw your video posted on the 12th. Now I'm watching this one, so I hope you catch my comment.
Hi Mike. This is your neighbor to the north in Caledonia, NY. I really love the quality and content of your videos. I'd really miss the fine job you do with your productions, but, hey, you have a life and you have a very busy year ahead of you. Might I suggest for Monday to Friday, if you must make less elaborate videos to buy yourself more productive time around home, that you do a skip week schedule. One week do a compacted video M, W & F, then the next week shorten up on T & Th. Also on the weekends take a day for yourself and the family with no cameras. One weekend record on Saturday and the next record on Sunday. I think this would give you the best of both worlds that you described and keep your subscribers happy, too. Please let me know what you think.
Awesome bench
Good morning from SE Louisiana 13 Mar 21.
Morning Morgan's
Good morning Michael ;-)
@@badcat4707 Good morning friend
Contact Diesel Creek RUclipsr. He's converting a church to housing a has over dozen pews. They look solid but might need refinishing. He'll probably Load the Moritz. give them away for a plug and he's in PA! Load the Moritz to capacity.
yea he has a ton of pews
A paint stir stick works great to make the gaps
Maybe you could have the top board logo outdoors with the morgans. Looks really great. Thank for the video.The Blacks.
All good there MR!
glorious good morning to you muke
mike. I so wanted to make one for my yard that is was so informed nothing was left outgreat thanks so much
Love it!
thanks 4 video. be kind.
Mike Ilove the equipment videos but I like video of odd jobs also keep it up we are in nepa
thanks for sharing. sign the bottom, date it and give it to your daughter after the marriage for a souvenir. I bet she will cherish it for life.
Hey! Why buy boards if you can cut them yourself?
Because he used green pressure treated wood.
At the end it looked like Mike was a lot shorter than I thought when he was behind the finished bench.
LOL, it reminded me of "Dorf" (played by Tim Conway) from the Carol Burnett show.
I was starting to wonder how big the bench was. 😀
I think I might make the seat height 18". It is the same height as an accessible toilet seat and a much more comfortable height to enter and exit from.
Excellent instructions, great content bud ! Nice work !
Nice but I would add a 2x4 on the legs under the bench so that the 2x4 will support the weight and not just the screws. Ask me how I know. Enjoyed the video. Thanks.
Nice project
I never put the 1/4 inch gap between the boards as they will shrink over time. The gap will be pretty big after it shrinks if you space the boards apart. If you but the boards tight against each other, after the boards shrink, you will have about a 1/4 inch gap between the boards.
I like the way that you built the bench. I plan on building this same bench. But I can see one thing that concerns me. The legs are just held on with deck screws. With the weight of 2 people, it may not be strong enough. I would attach the legs with either lag bolts or bolts and nuts (galvanized). This would make it much stronger.
Que trabalho bonito! Very nice work!
I was waiting for you to make a "rookie mistake" while building this bench, but it never happened. Your knowledge of wood shrinkage and wood movement served you well Mike. I'm glad you are letting the bench dry before applying stain. I saw water come out of one board as you where driving in a screw. Are you aware that it's best to apply a wood sealer or pre-stain before applying the stain. So pine pitch will not come out of any knot holes and get on your guest's clothing. Don't ask me how I know this...lol. My first outdoor bench turned out a sticky mess once a few rains and summer heat happened to it.
Also not supposed to stain or seal treated lumber until after its been exposed outdoors for a period of 2 years. Stain will peel and be horribly discolored and hard to get rid of that.
if you have to do 4 more, you should mill some Red Pine and build it out it. Save a couple of grand
