I first came across this video and your channel a couple years ago when I was researching laminated plywood furniture for a tv stand i built. Now im getting ready to use this technique once again to build a dog bed, and wanted to do a little more research for the video title. This video popped up again, and i had to watch it for probably the 5th time. The building technique is cool, but what really does it for me is the way you recorded this one. I love how it feels like one continuous shot and the camera just follows you around. Very inspirational!
Absolute beautiful bench! I can't help it but I do love plywood nd being able to see the layers. But for now my wife is in to walnut. Thanks for a great video!
Your video came up in feed today for the first time and I love this build. I'm a huge fan of the exposed edge of plywood and marrying that with solid timber makes for a great combination. I've obviously got some binge watching to do.
Shaun Boyd as a fellow carpenter and joiner I was glued to watching it man, I like watching a craftsman work but especially something as cool as the finished bench 👏👏👏
Man I love your videos, am in Uganda, Africa and i would like to set up a wood workshop like yours. Kindly tell me which machines i would need and which company would you recommend
Thanks for watching! I would say just start making things with what you have, and as you move forward you can decide what you need. A circular saw and a drill are a great place to start!
Thanks, really appreciate it! This piece uses quite a few of my machines, table saw, band saw, planer, router table, edge sander, domino joiner. I'm working on a shop tour video that will show all of the tools in my shop, so stay tuned for that.
If you don't mind me asking, where did you find yours and roughly how much did you pay? I've seen a few on Craigslist but they all seem to be right around $850 and I have heard people say that unless it's in pristine condition they are worth closer to $400
I don't normally comment in videos but felt compelled to tell you how stunning this piece is. I would actually use it as a table in my lounge rather than a bench. Great design and brilliantly executed. Subbed
Hi Shaun I started a coffee tables based on this design and process! However instead of the wooden insert at the opposite side of the curve there are going to be cast concrete pillars. I'll be sure to tag you on social meeds when it's completed. God bless buddy!
I saw this years ago and was reminded of it again from your latest build. I forgot that this was sans CNC work. Those repeating cuts look so much more laborious without a CNC. Think this also would almost certainly have some epoxy touch ups on some of the blemish areas if replicated now. It felt odd now not seeing that from one of your builds.
Thanks Jason, really appreciate it! I would think this could work as an outdoor piece as long as it is finished with heavy outdoor varnish. I imagine the exposed plywood edge would be much more susceptible to soaking in moisture, so you would probably need to be extra thorough with finishing.
Thanks for the kind words! I just went back and checked out your past videos....you definitely are bringing something different to the table. I really like the direction your channel is going. I suspect you'll have a big jump in subscribers soon.
btw - Have you shared this and other videos on Reddit, Google+ Communities, and Facebook? If not, I've found it really helps to jumpstart RUclips viewership, and highly recommend it.
Really appreciate the tips. I haven't done any of that stuff, I'm a little behind the curve when it comes to social media and getting my stuff out there, but this is a good place to start! Thanks!
@@shaunboydmadethis love it! I love the subtle correction on my misspelled “planer”. Haha. Just kidding man. Keep up the awesome work. It is very inspiring.
Your craftsmanship is excellent!! nice job... though i was worried if thoselittle dowels connecting the bent and sheets could carry the weight of person... then you fixed the wood slab on other side, so now its stabilized... good job!
I love this piece. I’m trying something similar but I’m having trouble sanding the curves to look nice and even. Is there a trick to sanding them so they seem like solid thickness?
Thanks! It really comes down to getting each piece as close to identical as you can before you glue everything together. That way once it is glued up, it takes minimal sanding. I use a handheld belt sander to do the heavy shaping once it is assembled.
Your woodworking and design skills warrant voice overs for your videos. You make great stuff. People like me can learn a lot from hearing your thought process.
Thanks for saying that, means a lot. I have thought about incorporating some voice-over, but have been hesitant. Mostly because I can't stand the sound of my voice. Maybe I'll give it another shot soon, I love spreading whatever knowledge I have.
@@shaunboydmadethis they say simplicity, I see none. This is complex stuff, need some classes and practicals to be able to pull this one. Nowadays simplicity means top notch work, skills like illustrated in this video.

Really appreciate it! Thanks for coming back and checking it out again! Good luck with the dog bed.
You have the most elegant design style, western free-form combined with oriental clarity and honest construction. Great!
Really appreciate that! I'm always trying to develop my design sense, and your description is very insightful and generous. Thanks for watching!
I love this piece and particularly love (even if it was probably the easiest part) the walnut leg with the two off angles. Really makes the piece.
WOOOOOOOOOW!!!! Spectacular work! Good Good Good!!
Really appreciate that, thanks for watching!
Absolute beautiful bench! I can't help it but I do love plywood nd being able to see the layers. But for now my wife is in to walnut. Thanks for a great video!
Man, I love the look of that thing! The walnut is a nice refined touch against the plywood. And the curve and then angle of the leg...it just works!
Really appreciate that! I am very happy with how it turned out.
Bruce A. Ulrich my thoughts exactly!
Very cool piece, true art. Watching you use the table saw with the hoodie strings dangling added some suspense too, Yikes. Thanks for posting.
Beautiful work.Congratulations
Thanks!
kudos to your talent, passion, and patience. GREAT WORK.
Thank you!
Simple and clean with a twist! Nice job mate!
That is exactly what I shoot for in my designs! Thanks for watching, really appreciate it!
Fantastic workmanship....good video
Thanks, really appreciate it!
Beautiful project... I don't see how anyone could hit a "Thumb Down" concerning this clip? Skill & Imagination!
Thanks, Simon! Really appreciate the kind words. RUclips can be a fickle place.
The simple elegance is just what the doctor ordered. Something about this piece speaks to me.
Thanks, Dan! I agree, I really focused on keeping this one as simple as possible.
Bench/ coffee table. Really classy work. Well made🤙
Seriously, your work is amazing! Great job. I love the contrast between the plywood and the walnut.
Really appreciate it! It's always fun to come up with new pieces. Thanks for watching.
Hi !! i have a question, on the second 4:31 , what is the name of that machine ? Thanks! Very good video !!
Thanks for watching! That is a Festool Domino. It is similar to a biscuit joiner, but uses domino shaped floating tenons for a strong joint.
Shaun Boyd Thanks very much!! Saying Hi from Buenos Aires!
Your video came up in feed today for the first time and I love this build. I'm a huge fan of the exposed edge of plywood and marrying that with solid timber makes for a great combination. I've obviously got some binge watching to do.
Honestly one of the best videos I've ever watched on RUclips, loved it 👏👏👏👏
Dang, I really appreciate that! Thanks for the kind words. There are a lot of videos on RUclips.
Shaun Boyd as a fellow carpenter and joiner I was glued to watching it man, I like watching a craftsman work but especially something as cool as the finished bench 👏👏👏
I know what you mean, I spend a lot of time watching others create amazing things on here. Pretty awesome.
I just watched this on someone else's channel. Not cool for them to steal, but it brought me here, so cool! Love your work.
Do you have a link to the video?
The name of the video is DIY Plywood Bench by creative ideas. I’m on my phone so not sure how to copy the link.
Great work man. Awesome workshop 🙏🏻
Thanks, really appreciate it!
I could see a few dozen of those scattered throughout the public spaces of a modern art museum. Nice job!
That would be awesome. Thanks for watching!
Nice design and good job!
Really appreciate it, thanks for watching!

That's a very nice piece!!! I love it!
Thank you!
Very cool. I dig the plywood "slab" look👍🏻
Thanks, I really appreciate it! The look of the plywood edge never fails to impress me.
8 minutes and 28 seconds does this piece no justice. Beautiful design, dude
Really appreciate it! It always feels a little weird to edit everything down to such short videos, but that is how it goes.
This piece was exceptionally well designed, meticulously crafted and flawlessly finished. Bravo Sir!
Really appreciate it, Andrew! I strive for all of those things.
Hi well done. May I ask what type of machinery you are using? I am new in this area. thanks
Thanks, really appreciate it! This piece uses quite a few of my machines, table saw, band saw, planer, router table, edge sander, domino joiner. I'm working on a shop tour video that will show all of the tools in my shop, so stay tuned for that.
Wow, looking forward to that one. Thank for your response!
Great design and execution! I did cry a little when I saw wipe on Poly, but it is plywood so it makes sense.
Thanks, really appreciate it! I go back and forth with wipe-on poly, but in this application it works great.
Great design and execution!!
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
Still one of the coolest builds you've done Shaun.
Thanks Dan! Still one of my favorites, as well!
That’s so so cool. I’m impressed
Thank you!
Super jealous of your Makita 2030 man! Great furniture piece. Looking forward to more videos!
Yeah, that thing is awesome, and such a workhorse. Thanks for watching!
If you don't mind me asking, where did you find yours and roughly how much did you pay? I've seen a few on Craigslist but they all seem to be right around $850 and I have heard people say that unless it's in pristine condition they are worth closer to $400
I actually got it from my grandfather when he moved into a smaller house, so not sure on price. Sorry, I don't have more info for you.
Ok, now it's even better! What a cool story for a super cool tool!
Very nice! Well thought out and executed, I love it.
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
I don't normally comment in videos but felt compelled to tell you how stunning this piece is. I would actually use it as a table in my lounge rather than a bench. Great design and brilliantly executed. Subbed
I really appreciate the kind words! I agree, it would make a great table, as well. Thanks for the support.
So cool! Just out of curiosity, how many sheets of plywood did go into this, just the one???
Thanks! I don't remember exactly, but pretty sure it wasn't more than a single 4x8 sheet.
Great job bro, well done 👍🙌🙌
Thanks, really appreciate it!
Very clever, and your workshop looks great. 👍
Thank you! Really appreciate it!
Nice project!
Really appreciate it, thanks!
Hi Shaun I started a coffee tables based on this design and process! However instead of the wooden insert at the opposite side of the curve there are going to be cast concrete pillars. I'll be sure to tag you on social meeds when it's completed. God bless buddy!
Sounds awesome! Can't wait to see it.
Amazing design and realization!
Really appreciate it! Thanks!
Great job Shaun
Thanks Frank!
That ls magnificent. How much did you sell it for?
Thanks, man! I actually never sold this one, it just lives in my little office at my shop.
Thought I'd watch this video and learn something . . . but I've never seen anyone work this fast...💥🥂
If only I could do it that fast in real life!
Wow that was so cool to watch. Love the continuous filming sequence! Good job
Really appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Very smart Shaun.
Fantastic project !! GREAT !!!
Thank you!
Nice craftsmanship .
Thank you!
Amazing & Artistic work
Thank you!
Hats off to you in regard to this project...just subscribed.
Really appreciate it, thanks for the support!
Wow .... Thanks sir. very very beautiful. I like it.
Really appreciate it, thanks for watching!
You need more subs. These videos are awesome 👏🏼
Really appreciate it, thanks for watching!
So you didn't do any veneer? So are all the plywood layers showing? How did you make it look so clean? Is it just really nice plywood?
Good job shaun
Thank you!
I don't understand why you didn't... Just kidding. Pretty awesome!
Una maravilla de trabajo, un saludo desde España.
Muchas gracias.
nice idea and it came out great but are you leaving that chunk of stained wood holding up the two ends like that?
I like the idea and design. Thank you for sharing...
Great skills man!
Amazing..i like your design.
Thank you!
Well done sir!
Thank you! Really appreciate it!
What kind of finish did u use I love it
Hi shaun, You very good job
Thank you!
I saw this years ago and was reminded of it again from your latest build. I forgot that this was sans CNC work. Those repeating cuts look so much more laborious without a CNC. Think this also would almost certainly have some epoxy touch ups on some of the blemish areas if replicated now. It felt odd now not seeing that from one of your builds.
Haha, yep! Would probably do it a lot differently these days. Thanks for going back to watch this one!
Very nice work there. I have question, would this be ok outside for garden furniture since you are using plywood?
Thanks Jason, really appreciate it! I would think this could work as an outdoor piece as long as it is finished with heavy outdoor varnish. I imagine the exposed plywood edge would be much more susceptible to soaking in moisture, so you would probably need to be extra thorough with finishing.
Thanks Shaun I may try a test sample and see if it will hold up to good old Scottish weather. Yeah I was wondering myself about the exposed edges.
Plywood at art level of the thing.
Thank you!
I love this design. Really well done!
Really appreciate that! Especially coming from someone that makes some awesome stuff.

hell yea dude. excellent work
Right on, really appreciate it.
Great work! Is the planet and jointer all in one or two separate machines?
Thanks! Yeah, it is a combo machine. Planer and jointer in one.
@@shaunboydmadethis love it! I love the subtle correction on my misspelled “planer”. Haha. Just kidding man. Keep up the awesome work. It is very inspiring.
Very cool, nice job.
Thanks, really appreciate it!
Your craftsmanship is excellent!! nice job... though i was worried if thoselittle dowels connecting the bent and sheets could carry the weight of person... then you fixed the wood slab on other side, so now its stabilized... good job!

Amazing work
Thank you!
Thats fantastic workmanship..
Really beautiful..simplicity..
Way to go
Thank you! Really appreciate it!

Easy to watch but difficult to make it . Congrats man !!!!
Really appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Newbie here, but what tool are you using at 2:37?
Haha, no worries. That is a router table, and I'm using a flush trim bit in the router to make all the copies with my MDF template.
Again, thank you! For a beginner your work is aspirational
i love it. God bless you dear , happy new year
Thanks, Mahdi! Happy New Year to you, as well.
god bless you
Increíble,preciosa, es una maravilla, q envidia de manos, saber hacer todo eso ufff, me encanta
Muchas gracias!
Very beautful. Very Gold!!!!
Thank you!
Espectacular!!!!!
Felicitaciones. Excelente trabajo.
Muchas gracias!
Awesome work. perfect 👍
Really appreciate it! Thanks!
Making pieces like this is cool! I am curious, at 3:21, are you running this through a thickness planer or sander?
Thanks! Yeah, they are going through the planer at that point.
Great design! Love the simplicity.
Thanks, really appreciate it!

You do very professional. I like your design
Really appreciate it! Thanks!
@@shaunboydmadethis, a channel called "art of life" also liked your work and re-uploaded your vid.
Nice work !! What loosers give this creative idea a thumbs down ?
Haha, thanks! RUclips is a funny place.
That's a hell of a lot of effort for something so impractical...but it was super fun to watch come together
Thanks for watching! You can sit on it, so it seems to do what it is meant for.
Your design your ideas really great,
Beautiful job and very creative. The lines are clean and sharp! Who said plywood is only used for cheap and ugly projects??? Not me...Cheers Sean
Really appreciate it! It's always fun to take something that we are all used to seeing as cheap or ugly and to try making it into something beautiful.
Super merci pleins d astuces j adore good year 2022. Dadymilles
Outstanding work! Thanks for sharing!
Really appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
I'd totally dig a dining room table in this design - would be a monster but so cool!
Dope bench man.
Thanks, man. Really appreciate it!
Great work what type of ply wood did you use?
Thanks! I use Baltic Birch Plywood for pieces like this.
beautiful work of art
Thank you! Really appreciate it!
Looks awesome! What oil/varnish did you use?
Thanks! I think for this one it was wipe-on poly.
Great! Just great. I Love, what you do and how you`re doing it.
What plays on a backsound?
Thanks! It is called Cielo by Huma-Huma.
