    Really like how you give details, like “I cauterized the ends”, “I wouldn’t use this paint again because of yellowing”, etc. As an amateur at this it’s good to know. Thanks, just subscribed.

    First DIY project, and your video and plans gave me the confidence to go for it, Thank You!
    For those wondering, i ended up using a total of 30 2x4's (2.4m length), ~ 250 2.5" external screws, and 2 litres of Ronseal Yacht Varnish.
    I used these 2x4's from B&Q (code: 3663602860891), as they were treated, kiln-dried and C16 rated.
    The Trend PH Jig Twin is what i used also, which worked a treat, was only £25 also!
    Could have gotten away with less wood i believe, but i messed up a few of the cuts.
    Instead of a central 4"x4" support foot , i went for the same design on the bottom of the armrests (long board on floor, two pieces at either end joined with PH and glue), which is working out quite well.
    My 2x4s werent long enough to be a continuous piece on the seat decking and the top back board for the big bench, so I just used two, and I used two pocket screws to join them together with some glue.
    It was weird using imperial measurements as I'm from the UK, but everything worked out fine in that aspect!
    Also, this bench is MASSIVE, make sure you have a big enough space for it before making it.
    Hope this helps someone whos thinking of trying it out. Will happily help anyone if they've got any questions!

    Thanks for watching! With today's lumber prices, I may as well of just built these couches out of gold, but maybe this will be a practical project again in a month of two. Let me know if you have any questions on the build and I will be sure to answer them!

      Do you know exactly how many 2x4 you used? So I get all the wood I need at once? If not it’s okay. The video is great and can’t wait to surprise the wife!! Haha

    I used the rocker prior to baby delivery when I was up in the middle of the night due to heartburn and loved it! Little one is now 6 days old and loves the rocker ruclips.net/user/postUgkxXH3jIpsn6vpr3D26KWAriUejh7CSxVp7 , she gets great sleep when used. I had a 1st degree tear repair so sitting can be very uncomfortable and down right painful when the rx mortin wears off, however even then the rocker is firm enough for support but soft enough to feel comfortable. I'm 4'9" so I fit in the chair easily and my 6"3' friend also can sit comfortably in it with a little one. 💖 I would definitely recommend this rocker as a must have for any parent to be👍

    Nice design. One thing I noticed is that you used screws to attach the seat to the arms, placing the sheer load on the screws. I would suggest using vertical braces to avoid that.

    @UltimateAnarchy 2 года назад

    I'm 6'5'' so ideally, I would like to build this to have a seat height a few inches taller. I suppose I could just change where the seats attach to that section which would also result in the "arms" being lower as well. Do you see any issues with doing it this way?

    • @AndrewThronImprovements
      @AndrewThronImprovements  2 года назад +1

      Nope - you will just need to tweak some of the measurement to suit. TBH this couch as is catered a bit to taller folk. Not 6'5" though lol Thanks for watching!

    I think adding an approximate total lumber and cut list to your plans would go a very long way. I just started building a sectional using these plans as my main guide and optimizing my lumber and cuts definitely was time consuming. But it was also necessary as the price of lumber is so high right now!!! A cut list would have reduced my design time significantly! Thanks! Happy DIYing!
