Dusty, that is one very IMPRESSIVE log bench! ! ! Best log bench build I've ever watched. And using a chainsaw as a lumber mill to cut the boards was genius. Keep up the great work. I look forward to whatever comes next.

I’m an amateur trying to build a bench out of a tree that was cut down in my backyard. So glad I found your video because I’ve learned a lot. Love your work!
Sincerely thank you and this is awesome to hear!! I have no doubt that you will create something amazing! You are only limited to your imagination. Many blessings 🙏
Hey there my brother!! Unfortunately, we have been so busy. We have not been able to take Reverie out, but fingers crossed before the end of the summer!! Really hope that you and the family are doing good
Thank you so much my brother it was my first time and it turned out just awesome! Definitely going to be around for a while!! Much love to you my friend
Hey there my friend sincerely, thank you! I see by your profile that you also have a 881!! It’s definitely beautiful piece of equipment. Many blessings to you and yours, my friend!!
@@foxhollerhomestead lo que es,es...me ha gustado mucho el diseño. De hecho estaba haciendo un boceto para un vecino que me pidió que le hiciese un banco para la entrada el diseño este me ha gustado quizá con tu permiso te lo copié y le añada un par de cajones para dejar las botas y calzado antes de entrar en casa 😎 Un saludo
Don't shorten it Dusty! You have foot rest than Ragina and boys can use to get onto the bench. I like the raw look. Good job as always. Peace to you and family!
Most definitely Tim I have decided not to cut it and to just leave the foot rests! I have to tell you that bench is so darn heavy it’s probably close to 300 pounds right now just because it’s fresh wood but it really turned out better than I thought it would! Much love and blessings to you my friend
Was wondering if the log was dried and seasoned? The reason I say this is When you peeled the log, it seemed to peel like it was green. Wondering if that bench checked And twisted on you also wondering what you used to put it together as far as glue and lag's or DOW LSI.. really like to look of it! good job. What kind of wood? Dale ftom Sierra Mountains California
Hey there Dale! The log was pretty green, only brought it down about two months before I did this. This is from a western red cedar tree so even after all the time since I made the video, it still has not twisted or split!! Western cedar is great for outdoors as well because it does not rot. As far as putting it together, I did not use any dowels or lags, or any glue at all. Everything fit nice and tight and even after it is dried it’s still very solid. And yes, I have to agree. It was very therapeutic. I just recently made a video about a month or so ago where I built a sweat lodge out of Cedar logs as well! Got to sweat it for the first time last weekend, and it was great! Anyhow, many blessings to you and your family, my friend
Dusty! You did an awesome job on that bench. I said to Glen that I would be glad for the footrests…. I could see adding some pillows to it and having a nap. 😍 Glen is wondering if you are going to treat the wood with anything? Take care, Annette🌺
Thank you so much Annette and yes I think we’re just gonna stick with the little logs for a foot rests! As for treating yes most definitely there is quite a lot of work left to do on it but I need it to dry for one season before I continue because it’s still pretty wet as it was a fresh tree.
Sincerely Thank you so much Scott!! It was honestly a really fun build, glad to hear that you are gonna do it as well! I just recently did a build of a Viking sweat lodge that turned out really cool as well! Many blessings to you and your family, my friend!
@@jimmyjames4367 that’s funny! Ironically, I am more comfortable with a chainsaw than a circular saw! Definitely try it out as it was a fun project. Blessings to you and your family, my friend.
Hey really like the bench style, incase you don't know there is a book of standards for furniture etc. It would have the dimensions for things like seat and back angle, seat height. This would get you a starting point then adjust slightly if needed for your own preference. Of course the information is probably available on line too. Cheers.
If you have not done so already, drill some 1/2" (or 3/4 if the planks are over 1.25" thick) dowel holes to secure the bench planks to the ends. Perhaps 2 or 3 per edge, roughly 2" deep into the planks. After a dry fit, glue the whole thing up and reassemble. For a tight glue connection , use ratchet straps. Wipe away excess flow out. Be sure glue is waterproof/meant for outdoor use. Chisel/saw/sand dowels so they are surface flush. Be sure to lightly sand areas where glue flow out occurred so finish is uniform. Finish as desired. BUT BEFORE YOU DO! You may find that the bench center likes to sag/give a bit under load. You can add a 6"x1" board underneath the sitting plank so it acts like a joist. Just a couple of notches on the ends, a couple more dowel holes and it should sit the whole family with confidence. Back rest sagging? Piss off - yer on yer own mate.
OK, this is awesome and just shows that I had the right thinking but have yet to put it into effect. Just recently purchased a auger survivor tool that I was going to implement exactly what you’re talking about. Sincerely appreciate this and thank you! Nothing but blessings to you my friend
Sincerely thank you so much my brother and honestly I have no idea how much it would cost just assuming that it’s close to 300 pounds… but… if you decided to take a road trip then I’m sure it would be easier to carry it back with you!! Just sayin!
Seriously thank you my friend and as far as I’m concerned, you definitely have the skills you just need to get out there and try! Many blessings to you and your family
I didn’t use any glue for anything, just cut it to fit snug. As far as the bark, western red cedar, once you get it started peels right off pretty easy. Typically I will use a felling wedge
lol thank you so much my brother! And yes I will put a Sealund on it eventually after it dries but for now it’s completely OK. The awesome thing about western red cedar is that it is A very resistant wood to rotting. Which is why most people use cedar for shingle siding as well as fences, decks etc out here. There is still some that I want to do to it like around the edges and sand it down but it will take a full season To completely dry out PS what is ASMR?
@@foxhollerhomestead ASMR is like a video that's just the sounds of someone doing something. I don't think that's the exact definition but it's how I understand it.
@@stanhutchins4365 it does stay together very well and no, I did not use any screws or nails, but you can always add some for extra stability if you choose. Good luck!!
There are times where I will check their chainsaw off, but it just happened to show that in the video and that’s only when I’m getting ready to do another coat rather than having to start the chainsaw over and over.
Like I said, I never took any measurements, but I can give you an estimate that the seat is approximately 7 feet long, which the back is the same length. The legs are approximately 3 feet tall.

Love the bench. Looks a like it could break on the back though, knowing how cedar acts. Did you do anything else to prevent that?

Hello sir.
Very interesting idea.
Is it stable without additional reinforcements and supports.
I plan to make one like this.
@@AlexanderKour yes my friend. It’s very stable. If all the joints are cut, right
Con que fragilidad hacen las cosas
What kind of glue did you use for the seat and back? What did you do to loosen the bark?
I didn’t use any glue for anything, just cut it to fit snug. As far as the bark, western red cedar, once you get it started peels right off pretty easy.
Typically I will use a felling wedge
Nicely done, what species Of wood?
Sincerely thank you! This is Western Red Cedar
❤😮😊
This is like manly ASMR. Will you put some kind of a sealant on it to keep it from dry rotting?

Thank you so much!
I totally think I can do this. I have stumps, and slabs off the saw mill.
You got this!! The only way you’re gonna find out is if you do it and I know you can do it!!
Why do you leave the chainsaw running?
There are times where I will check their chainsaw off, but it just happened to show that in the video and that’s only when I’m getting ready to do another coat rather than having to start the chainsaw over and over.

I can't work for a few more weeks, so I've been watching videos to get some ideas for projects. Would you care if I copied this design for benches?
Most definitely my friend, of course! I’d love to see how it turned out.
Does anyone know the measurementsb
When I made the bench, I never did take any measurements. I just built it to where it was comfortable.
Kayu apa bahan nya??
Hello my friend! This is western red Cedar!
Meaning length of bench height of legs
Like I said, I never took any measurements, but I can give you an estimate that the seat is approximately 7 feet long, which the back is the same length. The legs are approximately 3 feet tall.
