    The reason I've subscribed to your channel is everything is easy for the non professioal woodworker to understand. Everything is shown on the screen telling what sizes are needed, quality, what tools are needed and no talking which is outstanding. The music, your wife & of course the dog models add to the enjoyment of watching how the projects are built. Do you think outside plant holders will be added? Wheelbarrows, wishing wells, animals & 3 tier plant stands would be fantastic. Thanks & keep up the Great work,

      If you spent $100 on the lumber for that bench you need to find another source for your lumber.

      I agree he paid to much for the lumber but the time was with his son so it would have taken much longer than doing it by himself. But it was a day he and his son spent together. A day he taught his son so many different lessons (not just how to make a bench).

  • @cherylbglover
    @cherylbglover 5 лет назад +1

    I actually made this and it turned out great! I did as someone in comments suggested and used the wood glue all all joining parts, I also used 2inch deck screws on the legs to fasten to the sides. I had then on hand already and give that little extra stability. For those whining about cost. Depends what wood you use. I used knotty pine. Cost was about $18 total from Home Depot.

    Saw this last night, picked up the materials I needed for two 28” benches, one for each side of my cabin door. Perfect and thanks to this video it was easy. Sure I changed everything for my needs except the height of the bench, but that’s what it’s all about. Thank you so much for the video. There’s a console and barn door on the list now.

    I have a new wrinkle for you, instead of using the finish nails, I use the old time cut nails, a few dings, a few burns from bent nails, etc. Makes these tables and benches look like they been around and refinished. Also make chairs, round top tables and oval end tables. Use a lot of pegs, to make them look older. Just some thoughts from a 70 year old wood smith.

    great video! If you're adding this to your $50 DIY Farmhouse Table, the original measurements for the bench do not allow it to fit between the table legs
    (approx. 61") The table is great. The bench is great. I just wish I had thought about being able to slide the bench under the table before I built it. My apartment is a little small and being able to slide the bench under the table would help save a little more space.

    This was great. I'm not going to say it was easy, but for a beginner it was doable. Here's the thing though. It ain't $20. If you have a friend with a saw, It's still about a $50 bench. I made two and the wood alone cost $75 at Home Depot. With paint it came to about $50 a bench. Still a good deal and still a fun and satisfying project. I suspect that if you buy in bulk, know where to go, already own supplies.... it can be a $20 bench. But for a stone cold beginner who has to buy everything... it's like a $50 bench.

Other than that I love it and so does my wife!
