Sorry to hear about your friend Mrs 731, its difficult to remind ourselves in times like these that as well as yourself, and those around you, your friend is being taken care of by higher powers. Everything will be okay
I didn’t think you were ever gonna get back to building!! That’s the ONE thing that drew me and my husband to your channel. You made things simple and turned me into a builder. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep doing more builds… and waaaayyyyy less tool reviews.
As a professional carpenter, I would have done the math for spacing all the boards before I started. It would be in my list of notes I would make before I started to build. Example. Count number of full boards. Measure remaking space. Now divide left over space by number of joints between boards. Adjust this measurement as needed. There is your spacing.
Matt just wanted to say this is awesome to see a creator listen to their audience and adjust accordingly. Audience tells you more tool reviews and you go that route. People say they want to see more project videos and you do more project videos. It's just nice to see
Yeah buddy! Appreciate the extra content 💪🏼🙏🏻🦅 stay blessed
Great build, glad to see you back in the shop building a project and not so many tools ads. Again glad to see the build.
As a teacher I really loved the dedication at the end. I bet Mrs. Sanderlin was amazing!
Hola! 🖐Really nice bench, I think it looks fantastic. May your Friend, Miss Sanderlin, rest in peace🙏 Really nice of you to build it and donate it. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊
Great looking bench, well made video and a lovely tribute to an undoubtedly wonderful lady. 🙏
I really appreciate this video. Lately your channel has just felt like a sales channel. Way to take it back to your roots and show a basic build with basic tools! Great build too.
I just finished this build with your plans! Thanks for not only helping me find this new passion of mine but for being an inspiration/role model to look up too. I Appreciate it sir!
Great to hear it went well for you Michael! 👊
Matt. Thanks for the build video! Beginners should love this. Sorry for the lost of a great friend.
I’m gunna watch this 10 times and share with my family so it gets the plays you deserve.
Thank you Scott
Same here! You're an amazing inspiration, Mat!
@@williamfotiou7577 Thank you William!
Not actually going to help. Views go by a different set of rules on RUclips. Same person watching from same device or account only counts as 1 view even if you watch it 100 times. It's still only one view because it's one viewer
@@woodworkingandepoxy643 I have multiple accounts :)
I love using my massca pocket hole jig! I have the creative tool co also thanks to seeing it here! Cool project Matt!
Love the cause! I'll be making one for my porch... great build!!
Howdy Mr. 731..
I was at work when you released this video but waited till this morning to watch it and I've got to say, it was difficult for me to keep passing over the video without clicking on it.
Nonetheless, I just got through watching it. I really enjoy watching these. One of the pleasures I have with all my decades of experience is the ability to watch something being built and understand exactly what's going on and why and then it's imprinted in my mind. That comes with experience.
With your videos, those with lesser experience that can't build something "in their mind" are able to follow and understand the "what for's and why's".
THAT Sir Matt is why so many miss you building, you're a good teacher.
Of everything you did with this bench, I would add 3 extra steps.
1) Slightly rounding the top edges of the back support.
2) That front board of the seat, where the crook of the knee will be, turning that front edge into a bull nose.
3) And this one above all else "I" feel to be most important. That is to add epoxy to the bottom of the feet/legs. Simple cheap 5 minute epoxy works fine. This will keep the feet/legs from wicking up the water that gets under it, because even if sealer stain was used, it being end grain and sitting on the ground, floor, porch, that's gonna be the last area to dry after a rain but the FIRST area to wear out. Sealing it with epoxy ensures a longer life.
Fantastic video Mr. 731!!! Looking forward to the next one.
Good suggestions Mike!
Great, Build & beautiful gesture. May her soul Rest in Peace for eternity
Built one for my neighbor- she hasn't fallen thru ...yet :-) Great job!
Matt, you are one of my favorite content creators on RUclips. I am a would-be woodworker, and hope to have a full shop of my own one day. I'm also a paraplegic, and use a wheelchair every day. Woodworking and DIY projects often provide a bit more challenge for me, given I have to consider accessibility, balance, and agility a lot more than maybe the average woodworker. I'm always learning and thinking of ways to adapt where needed to the approach I'll need working from a chair, and I've learned a ton from your channel.
Regardless, I love how INCREDIBLY instructive and informative all your videos are, but also the fact that you're a humanitarian, Christian, and seem like just an overall great person. There are so many influences that we're exposed to every day on RUclips and other platforms, it's just great to see you bringing all those qualities together in your videos.
Just wanted to say Thank You, and keep it up!
Thank you. And thank you for the plans.
This video came just at the right time....but i' have to make it a bit more complicated. I have been asked to make a 3 person bench....swinging bench.... adirondack swinging bench but with the middle back section that can flip down and be like a drink / munchies holder if only 2 people want to sit on the bench. your design is helping me with my design. Thank you.
Love this bench. I think I am going to try making it.
😂 You had to spell B E N C H! The Southern draw gets ya in trouble huh? Love this bench! Gonna be making one this year! Thank you Matt!
I enjoy the build videos. Even if I don't build it, the videos help make me a better woodworker.
Rest in Peace Ms Sanderlin
The bench is terrific, Matt. Thanks for sharing the build with us and thanks for the dedication. It was touching.
Woohoo Awesome!!!!
This is what I’ll be doing in a week or so, got to let that wood acclimate.
Love them TUBA 4s!!! Great video
Making this bench next weekend. Got all my wood, just waiting on the time off work. Thanks for the video.
Looks awesome!!
Always great work 💪🏼🙏🏻🦅
Cool project! Thanks Mighty Matt!
Glad you like it!
I dig this bench! I'm gonna have to make one for my wife
Like what you did with the bench, and it’s a nice build
Great Build and even better cause! Great job! 🤜🏻
The build videos are back! Good work man!
Great build video!!
thank you, i need one built. God bless you.
I smell a weekend project!!
Not building a clock? Lol😂 love it. Great video Matt, thank you!!
Love that you're donating to a school
Miss seeing your build videos.
Thumbs up! Much better than 'review videos'
… purchase in Arkansas… that explains the accent. Love ❤️ it!
Nice build… But the finish really looked incredible. I’m gonna have to try that.
This is cool! Thanks! RIP Rhonda!
Nice build brother!
Good job Matt! I need to make one of these! I have a bunch of scrap wood that I can use on this
The way you say “Pocket Holes!” Reminds me of Dale from King of the Hill saying “Pocket Sand!”😂
"I said bench, b-e-n-c-h, ..." 🤣 Love this channel
🤣
Love the video! Thanks for the content, Matt. Can't get enough of "tuba four". 🤣
I wish you made a video making a furniture piece from pallet wood. The reason is that's all I have (also a jigsaw-my only cutting tool, a belt sander, a mouse/detail sander which i ran out of sand paper for it them, and a one speed drill), so i would he nice to get some inspiration from a fella i look up to. Hope it happens, if so, thanks in advance!
I like your video and your t-shirts.
Excellent video. I might make myself a bench now lol
Woohoo Arkansas boys. From Russellville myself
Wonderful project. Sorry to hear about Ms. Sanderlin.
Those are some nice tuba-fours.
Nice peice of furniture Matt, nice build.
Thanks!
I'm gonna have to try this one. The only modification I want to make is to put a slide angle on the seat box towards the backrest.
Fantastic !
Many thanks!
I like the way he says pocket holes
I love the outdoor projects. This one is on my list now.
I need to upgrade to a proper pocket hole jig. Have you thought of a Kreg vs Massca comparison video?
My wife loves how you say bench, she's thought it was the other thing. As always also... TUBAFOURS!
I love your channel. You inspire me to start my own shop one day. Some of the projects you've made on here helped me create a little extra income not just for my family but for upgrades to tools so I can do more advanced builds. Keep on doing what you do. I hope one day to start my own channel that follows me on renovating my house.
Love it man. Your channel is awesome!
I appreciate that!
2:39 i need to route some holes in my board to hold tools like that. I like the idea
I think I might just build this. I have been wanting to build one and I like this one. I also just subscribed to your channel.
Thanks for the sub!
Great video, and good to see you putting out some build videos.
Great project and accessible for anyone! You could do the whole thing with a circular saw and an electric drill. For the back slats, you could have started in the very middle and worked to each side. That way the gap size doesn't matter, and the two ends just need trimming.
Looks good, you might want to taper the back 2/3’s of the armrests I think it would give it a more refined look.
Great video, Matt, and a very nice bench, for sure. It's truly awesome that you are donating it too
Great job as always, Matt!
Great video
Thanks!
Two benches I built from construction redwood 20 rears ago have finally died. I made some repairs and repainted them ten years ago but constant exposure to the elements have finally taken their toll. I use what they call [construction] redwood because it has knots but they can be worked around while still retaining the resistance to rot as their clear counterparts that cost double the price. Cedar is also a good choice if redwood is not locally available.
Great branch Matt . Beautiful thing you did by donating it in the memory of your wife’s friend 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
Love your build videos!
Great build , really love this video. It's something even an entry level woodworker can do . And you can use different wood if you wanted to. I have the kreg pocket jig but since you bought the masca pocket jig I've been checking it out . I think it might be my next investment. Thanks again 😊
Awesome mate I will try this project myself. Perfect for in front of our tack shed 🤩
I just finished building this bench. It looks great and is ultra sturdy. Made it as a Mother's day gift for my wife. Thanks for the plans. I purchased the whole outdoor bundle. Comment on the build itself: I used 1-1/4" star drive screws (it's all the big box store had in that length range) but found they stripped the wood very easily. I ended up using 1-3/4" instead.
I watched your pricing video but really can't find anything comparable to base a selling price on should I be asked how much. I have $125 in wood (Big Blue and Orange store's wood is horrible and used Big Green instead) wanted to know what you would price this bench at? I live in a southern state.
Amy I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend! I did think it was really cool though the Matt had already decided on this project when your student asked you about in building a bench… It’s amazing how God works sometimes, even in the hardest of situations!
Matt, that was clever to set the front legs back an inch to have that reveal… It looks good!
Thank you so much McMath! God is so good - He always has a plan!
Hi Matt as usual another great tutorial really appreciate your help question is can this be made using smaller lumber ie. 63mm ba 32mm (sorry it's bloody metric) looking forward to your reply 😊
A smidgeon in an alternative universe equals to 1mm. :)
For the algorithm!
I spit my drink out when you said bench😂
Man, it’s great going back and watching your old build videos and then watching your newer videos and seeing how far you’ve come. Your knowledge and experience as well as your tool selection (Ridgid vs Festool) has grown and it shows. Love the build. Keep up the good work and don’t stop sharing. As someone who started woodworking because of your videos, I greatly appreciate it!
I appreciate that!
“ I said bench! B.E.N.C.H.” 😂
Have you made any with side table attached to your chairs?
I’d like to see that, totally interested 🤩
No, I haven't
You have a lot of nice tools so be sure to lock your doors because I'll be in your neighbor hood.😁 just kidding. Thanks for the video brother.
all fun and games til you realize it's Arkansas and everyone in the house is pro 2nd. 🤣
@@731Woodworks last summer I build a small storage shed to secure extra tools I had. I had a tin shed that was easy to brake into and had a lot of tools stolen. The new shed is constructed with lumber. I to believe in the 2 nd. 😁
How to calculate spacing
Spacing = (Total width of space - Total width of boards) / (Number of boards - 1)
Not my formula but it works
Tubafur, pokitole, bluenz (screws) , tubasix
The Massca Pockethole jig is almost identical to the Trend one available in the UK,only the colour is different ( Trend is black) 😀
Nice one job
What size cushions would work for this build?
Matt wonderful do it yourself project, however, the material choice won't hold up for long outside instead use tamarack or larch if its available in the south, theres also more expensive cedar.
I've built a lot of outdoor projects out of pine. Still looking good after several years. As long as it is properly cared for, it'll last a good long time. Yes, the more expensive woods will hold up longer, but pine is fine.
@@731Woodworks Here in the northeast tamarack is my go to wood for outdoor projects and its less expensive than pine more weather and rot resistant than cedar, I get it from the Amish which are everywhere great to deal with and they have saw mills and milling equipment all over the place.
Do you have a measured drawing for this project?
That is a wonderful cause. Thank you as always for the content you create.
Question if I could: When your garage door is close, what is your clearance between it and the front edge of your table saw? I’m trying to plan out placement of mine in a new place, and am wondering what is typical.
Mat, you use regular lumber for outdoor furniture? I am wondering about long term especially up north (sorry, unfortunately, born there, but my daughter and brother are down south 👍) outdoor exposure. Thanks
Yep, have done it for years without issue. Made a video about it here ruclips.net/video/fOBP4AOUync/видео.html
Do you have a cut list posted for this?
I really enjoyed this build video. We live in a rural area as you do. I am curious what you feel a good price for this project would be? Thank you for all your hard work. God bless.
I'd say easy $250 if you use common lumber like I did.
How are things in Monticello? I graduated UAM back in 2012. Heard it's on the up and up. I'm in Central AR now and haven't had a chance to go back in years. Used to watch movies at the Malco almost every weekend.
Monticello is alright lol. Still small town USA.
I'm not afraid to buy the curved boards, they make good rocking chairs-🤣
Great video purchased your PDF plans for this but I have one question? This will be my first attempt at anything like this what kind of wood do u suggest using for this build. It will be used outside
Thank you. I used common pine. Cedar, redwood, teak, white oak, and cypress are also good to use outdoors.
Let's get to the real question tho:
Where's the "Pocket Hole Time" t-shirt? 😉
