I just found this video. It showed up in my feed for some reason and I decided to click on it. This is a great video, although I know I would never build anything with wood. I only can fantasize about it because I don't have the funds for the equipment. Just curious, where did you get all the equipment, how much did it cost and where did you get training?
Hi Jerry, I'll be happy to send you the plans. I finally found them tucked away a couple of months ago. You can send me an email (see my info in the description) and I'll send you the info.
Great... Looking at modifying this for a nursing chair. Glad to see a Canadian doing some great work on RUclips! I'm over in Markham. What finish did you use as I'm building a lounger and need to add the finish next week.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think I used this Behr transparent waterproofing finish. www.homedepot.com/p/BEHR-Premium-1-gal-Cedar-Naturaltone-Transparent-Waterproofing-Exterior-Wood-Finish-50101/100112585
GREAT Video Thank you. I found the video very helpful !!! How much space between the outside frame and the inside base for the glider to move smooth? 1/2" to 3/4" I'm guessing?
Good guess. I just went outside and measured it at 13/16". If you'd like the plans (I found them about six months after making the video), just send me an email at woodumakeit@gmail.com and I'll send them to you.
Thanks for the reply, I have had a look at your other vids and enjoyed them as well, so I have now subscribed to your channel. I can't understand with the content that you have, that you only have 52 subs? well 53 now. Take Care keep up the great videos, Barry.
Hi Barry. Thank you for subscribing! I agree with you about the low number of subscriptions and that has been my biggest frustration. But I'm very new to social media and still trying to figure it all out. I am hopeful that my latest posts on Instructables will give me a much needed boost. I am confident that if I am patient and consistently post good content, things will work out. Thanks, again, for your support! -- Mike
Instructables is a good way to go, i have registered on there as well to get a few plans and ideas etc, one tip if you don't mind me saying, try and limit your videos to around 10mins if possible, the people i subscribe too do theirs around that time scale give or take, it's not for me to tell you what to do as i don't even do any videos, but if i was then that would be the time i would try to do. You were saying that you were new to all this, me too at least you do all the videos etc, i wouldn't be able to cope doing that, my mobile is just a basic ring and txt, while my wife and kids have all the internet types ha ha. Keep going and take care. Barry.
Totally agree! I'm struggling to keep the videos short while still explaining how to do everything. It's definitely something I need to improve so that it doesn't take up too much valuable time to watch my videos. Thanks for the reminder! -- Mike
With the glider that I built using the 10" long brackets, I have them spaced about 19 1/2" apart at the top, and about 16 1/2" at the bottom. I recently made another glider using 7 1/2" brackets. For those, I kept the spacing about the same, but I had to adjust the vertical positioning to accommodate the shorter length. I put a link in the description for the 7 1/2" brackets / bearing straps that I used for the second glider. I hope that helps!
It has been a while, so I don't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure it was this one: www.homedepot.com/p/BEHR-Premium-1-gal-Cedar-Naturaltone-Transparent-Waterproofing-Exterior-Wood-Finish-50101/100112585
David Woolery Got your email and I'll definitely send you the plans as soon as I can get my computer connected to the internet. We're traveling during the Christmas holidays, but I hope to get them to you tomorrow.
Hi there I just sent an email to you in regards for plans for this wonderful bench that you have made. Just wanted to give you a heads up just in case my email went to your junk folder
Instructions without giving the dimensions is not a how to make some thing but how to assemble it. There is a big difference. I quit watching when you started rambling about how you got the bearings twenty years ago. Bearings are needed but how you got them is not.
I'm happy to provide the plans if you'd like. I finally found the plans several months ago, so that'll give you all the dimensions and the step-by-step instructions. Just email me and I'll send them.
hmmm I still find it amazing that not everyone is exactly alike - because I thought the story about the bearings was interesting AND a very good point about checking with local sources, perhaps you even make a friend ( a real life friend that you might see at the grocery store not an internet friend that might be a bored 15 year old kid) I also tend to dislike how to videos that don't give specifics BUT in this case there were too many pieces to give dimensions for all and I think letting people know its the woodsmith plan was good enough
wow K is 20 years old already, time has flown by so fast! that's 6 years younger than I was when I met you. dang.
Yeah! Imagine how old I feel!!
Hi, I was wondering if I would be able to get a set of plans? Love the way it looks. Thanks Rob

Yes I would. In fact I plan on making one if I can find a decent set of plans for one. Great job and great video.

What's the optimal angles for the glider arms? I never see them parallel
Such a sweet gift!
Thanks, Beth!
was kind of waiting to see how the glider set up actually worked. only got out of this how to make a bench.
Let me know if you need any more info. I'm happy to send you plans if that would help. Just send me an email...

i have been wanting to build one but can not find dimensions for the mounting holes for the brackets.
If you send me an email (woodumakeit@gmail.com) I'll be happy to send you the plans for the one I made if that helps.
Not for sure, I don’t have that much potion . You are dining with ❤️ is beautiful
What a Great Build and Video. Well Done, Take Care, Barry (from England)
Thank you, Barry. I'm glad you had a chance to watch it! -- Mike

Yes I wood. Nice, I could look at that for another 20 years.
Thanks! If I take good care of this one, I hope it will last even longer.
Hi. My husband has just made a glider. We are not sure it is gliding as much as it should be. How should the brackets be angled?
With the glider that I built using the 10" long brackets, I have them spaced about 19 1/2" apart at the top, and about 16 1/2" at the bottom. I recently made another glider using 7 1/2" brackets. For those, I kept the spacing about the same, but I had to adjust the vertical positioning to accommodate the shorter length. I put a link in the description for the 7 1/2" brackets / bearing straps that I used for the second glider. I hope that helps!
My husband used these plans from WoodPrix and he's very satisfied. However. I love Yours !
What did you use as a finish?
It has been a while, so I don't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure it was this one: www.homedepot.com/p/BEHR-Premium-1-gal-Cedar-Naturaltone-Transparent-Waterproofing-Exterior-Wood-Finish-50101/100112585
very nice
I would like a set of plans. I’ve already sent you an email
David Woolery Got your email and I'll definitely send you the plans as soon as I can get my computer connected to the internet. We're traveling during the Christmas holidays, but I hope to get them to you tomorrow.
Очень понравилось! Подписываюсь!
Sorry, that is not 4/4 cedar.
Ooops! You're right. It's 8/4. Good catch!
I love the bench but poor instruction video for someone who is trying to build using your plans.
Hi there I just sent an email to you in regards for plans for this wonderful bench that you have made. Just wanted to give you a heads up just in case my email went to your junk folder
Just wondering if you still post to your page
I have done very similar with Woodglut designs.
You can find nice Instructions on woodprix if you like to build it
I recommend Woodglut to every beginner and not only.
I did something like this a month ago with plans from Woodglut.
I made it with Woodprix plans!
I started with Woodglut plans.
On the Stodoys website, you buy access to thousands of projects once.
Made it to 7 mins but seriously that music is incredibly annoying. I was interested in what you were saying but found it hard to focus.
Agree
That M looks terrible.
Instructions without giving the dimensions is not a how to make some thing but how to assemble it. There is a big difference. I quit watching when you started rambling about how you got the bearings twenty years ago. Bearings are needed but how you got them is not.
