Scrap them Brad nails and start counter sinking screws and plugging with dowels. Much cleaner look and gives it extra appeal. And the obvious added structural strength. Other than that. Good easy project!
I make several stain and white farmhouse items. For me it’s much easier to sand paint and stain my pieces then assemble do final finish and touch up if needed. No masking or bleed over.
Straight and to the point...just the kind of tutorial I like. Good job! Think I'll make a couple of these from pressure treated wood for camp fire seats for the grandsons. Thanks for sharing. 😀
2 things first don't ever hold a butt joint together with Brad nails. Ever That's just a recipe to fall apart. That's not going to stay together, use pocket holes, or do dowel. Joinery, that goes all the way through. It'll look much nicer and be much stronger and hold up for a lot longer. Second, because of the simplistic stain and paint job, just stain and paint them before you assemble, then it's much cleaner. There's no bleed.There's no paint and stain, mixing, it looks much nicer.Just don't paint or stain.The ends where they're going to join, so the glue has as much chance to adhere as possible.
I was thinking the same thing. I can't imagine it would be strong enough for a person to sit on it with just glue and brad nails. 100% it needs some pocket holes. That being said, it is a really nice and simple bench build.
Yea, I get what you're saying. We have had one of the first ones we built in our apartment for over 2 months now and have had no issues! We've had two 200lbs guys sit on it and the wood glue is doing most of the work keeping it together
They could probably drive some trim head screws instead of brad nails if they don’t want to get into using dowels. Especially if that part is being painted.
I know you mentioned testing this with two, 200lb guys, but I’m adding to what others suggested and think you should add dowels from the top, or at the very least pocket holes for added strength.
You could take the pieces the leftover pieces that you cut that you used to study the top shelf by attaching them to it as well with glue on all sides and it will make a super strong attachment in that place!
How about another shelf but smaller one that is attched to the underside of the seat. That would prevent inward movement. That should do the trick no? And that way you don't have to cut a groove into the bottom of the seat for the legs. Thoughts?
First time to your channel I do watch some other wood working channels. I’m glad I found you and I love this project I have to try it ! Thanks for sharing
Great video. I’ve been waiting a while for it and IT WAS WORTH the wait. Simple, easy and you didn’t have to cut off the rounded edges on the 2x10. I guess glue and brads give a strong enough hold. Keep up the great projects and looking forward for more. Thanks for sharing.
This is my favorite video you guys have done since the return :) Simple, Nice Look, and straightforward instructions! I am going to make one for myself, though i will be adding screws i think, but i like to over build my furniture..lol I think this will get some nice views for you guys! Look forward to more!
Good video, the shape of the legs is called a parallelogram. There are a lot of comments regarding the joinery. If you use pocket holes, dowels, or wood screws with plugs, the cost of time and materials will affect the price of the project. Use your best judgement on that.
I can imagine a lot of painting styles with this. Ok, I'm heading to get a few 2 x 10's tomorrow and make a few of these in different paint schemes. I think I will paint one black. Then paint it white. Then distress it. Maybe a gift for my wife this christmas?
No, they have been super sturdy and durable! We’ve had one that we’ve been using for the past two months and we’ve had no problems at all. We actually posted a photo of us both standing on it on our community page yesterday to show how sturdy it is.
There are tons of videos on how to make a sled. You need runners for the slots on your table saw, a piece of plywood, and two straight edges to hold it together. If this is too difficult rockler sells a complete set for like $100
Dado the top and the legs so the legs go into the top and the shelf goes into the legs , then screw them together . Also cut a radius on the corners of the top and run a 1/4 radius bit around the top with a router .
You’re tutes are very well done. To the point. I enjoy them , im going to build this simple bench. Keep up the good work. I love step by step tutes.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hey, if he’s getting 75 bucks for them in his area, then God bless him. I enjoy making things, I enjoy supporting others, and if I make them to sell, and they don’t sell, they make great gifts for friends. 🤷♂️
Bench/coffee table...I can see why it is a fast selling item...it is so rustic-modern and you just want one! I love it! Hope you sell a whole lot more!
Well sir’s….I’m already subscribed,and I’ve already watched ALL your videos,and not all of us graduated high school so you can’t be using all those geometric big words,I’m just a humble truck driver/wood worker so my vocabulary can’t handle it 🤣,but another great video guys,I’m batching these out for sure appreciate ya 🙏🏻
You can’t be serious ! Tgis is a video of lies and misinformation! And the wrong way to do things ! And no one is buying these fjr more than $45 and that’s the big ones
@@MarthaMarcum I'm in Canada and still don't see people paying this much for a framing lumber bench. I also never tired maybe there are lots of gullible people out there.
@@Joelmac000 It's not so much that people are gullible but what they need and can afford. When these guys talk about what they make and how much money they make it is because every area has different need and finances. So, what I do is make one build and put it on face book marketplace to see if I get anyone interested. It also depends on how it is set up. Have a blessed Christmas and a fabulous New Year.
I made this project and had the same questions, I'd recommend if you end up building it, you can cut the kerf moving toward the longest board, you want to make sure the legs and bottom shelf part are super accurate, if you lose about a half inch on the seat you'll be okay
What clear coat do you use on your stained top if any? I had stained some shelves without clear coating a couple years back and the stain still wants to wear off on certain things and just worry about people getting stain on them
I'm trying to cut the 22 degree angle with a circular saw, about how far away from the lip of the board should I start my angled cut? I'm a total novice, I'll take any tips! Should I use my square, line it up with the corner, then make my cut? Or go about a half inch deep? I noticed his saw enters the board about a half inch away from the edge of the board. Thanks guys!
I really like the build and the simplicity. I am sure there are plenty of others in the peanut gallery mentioning it...but those brad nails are a disaster in the making. One 250+ person sits on that and it's going to collapse. When you did it, I thought those were just a place holder. If the expectation isn't for it to be a sitting bench, then it's PROBABLY ok, but you might consider ripping a groove in the seat for the legs and then using pocket holes with screws. Will make it much stronger. Just my 2 cents.
The brad nails were just put there to hold the pieces in place while the glue dried. Once the glue dried the Brad nails weren’t doing anything. (I probably should’ve explained that better in the video lol )We made ourselves a bench exactly like it and we’ve had it for 2 months and have had 400 pounds of weight sitting on it at once and it’s doing great, no issues at all
You really need to prime the wood before painting are it won’t last. Also as mentioned, glue and brad nails will not hold up. I would use pocket holes or dowels.
I have not read all the comments, so this may be a repeat. Nitrile gloves cost almost nothing, and will save your hands when you stain. You also did not show how you fixed the brads that came through. Perhaps a shorter nail?
Why did you only use brad nails? I would think if you really want a sturdy bench you would use pocket hole screws. And not for nothing, Titebond is a good glue but I wouldn't trust it when a 250 lb man sits down
This bench will not be safe to sit or stand on with a simple butt joint. You are asking for trouble selling it to others. Its a nice simple design. Make it strong. Also, sand, stain and paint the pieces before assembly, then touch up after. That being said, its a great project to get people into woodworking!

I literally just said the same thing in the comment before I read this great minds think alike I really don't trust brad nails too much
Have 16yo getting into wood working. Looks like a great first project to build and sell on market place.
Awesome, glad to hear it! Let us know how it goes!
@FishOverChicksWoodworking thinking you can speed up build with a jig to cut pieces with skill saw.
That is not at all a structurally sound piece. I applaud him for creating a RUclips but he's got years to go.
I make several stain and white farmhouse items.
For me it’s much easier to sand paint and stain my pieces then assemble do final finish and touch up if needed. No masking or bleed over.
Can't paint the areas that will have glue, so do you mask those?
Yea for sure thats a good call

Ikea proved that people don't care about furniture longevity when they have a very real, immediate need for a shelf.
The glue is what holds it. Thats the strongest bond
Thnx for the free game bro! I'm going to do something similar, but the top will be a surf board as I live in a beach town.
Sweet!
I know you mentioned testing this with two, 200lb guys, but I’m adding to what others suggested and think you should add dowels from the top, or at the very least pocket holes for added strength.
Excellent project, looks good, easy to make. I like the suggestions below, too. Thank you!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed.
i make something similar but i pocket hole the legs
Real simple and told everyone the measurements 👍
I thought you were Theo Von
Hahaha that’s a first for me lol!
I would pay good money to see Theo do woodwork.
You could take the pieces the leftover pieces that you cut that you used to study the top shelf by attaching them to it as well with glue on all sides and it will make a super strong attachment in that place!
Very true
Loved the step by step instructions, keep up the good work
Thank you! Appreciate that!
Not sure about a few brad nails and glue on a butt joint with end grain being strong enough for a bench. Hope they hold up.
yeah. what I was thinking too. This looks a little collapsy
Yes, definitely needs screws. But it's a good idea and a nicely made video.
Are screws enough? My meathead boy is 6'5" and him plopping all his weight on this even with screws gives me pause.
How about another shelf but smaller one that is attched to the underside of the seat. That would prevent inward movement. That should do the trick no? And that way you don't have to cut a groove into the bottom of the seat for the legs. Thoughts?

Can you share where you sell these? Etsy, fb marketplace?
Yes, Fb marketplace
@FishOverChicksWoodworking thank you
Was the 2x10 8’ long or longer? Because the 4 boards you cut equaled exactly 8’ that wouldn’t account for what the blade takes away.
I made this project and had the same questions, I'd recommend if you end up building it, you can cut the kerf moving toward the longest board, you want to make sure the legs and bottom shelf part are super accurate, if you lose about a half inch on the seat you'll be okay
Cut. Test fit. Disassemble. Sand. Paint and stain. Then assemble.
Yea would’ve been easier to paint and stain before the assembly.
Dowels and sand a stain b4 you put it together make your life so much easier
Love this build! Some comments mentioned pocket holes, but as a beginner, how would you do pocket holes at the 22.5 angle?
Funny, i was thinking the same thing...lol
Awesome idea! Go Sox!
Yessir!
Nice project ❤
Thanks!
What clear coat do you use on your stained top if any? I had stained some shelves without clear coating a couple years back and the stain still wants to wear off on certain things and just worry about people getting stain on them
We use polyurethane and it works great!
@@FishOverChicksWoodworkingthanks boss man! Keep up the good work👍🏼👍🏼
Of course! Thanks for watching!
Good build brother!
Thanks!!
Try rounding over your edges maybe even put an ogee on the top to class it up. Put design on the bottom to make it look classy
Can I cut the 22,5 angle on a mitre saw? I don't have sleds for my crapy table saw..
Yes you can!
I would love the plans.
Simple, but looks great!
Loved it!

How much weight will it hold?
I’m 200 pounds and we’ve had 2 people my size sit on it and have had no issues at all. It’s holding up great!
I'm trying to cut the 22 degree angle with a circular saw, about how far away from the lip of the board should I start my angled cut? I'm a total novice, I'll take any tips! Should I use my square, line it up with the corner, then make my cut? Or go about a half inch deep? I noticed his saw enters the board about a half inch away from the edge of the board. Thanks guys!
I think what I'm asking is, on your sled, how far away is the tip of the 67.5 groove from the top 90 degree groove?
How long was the 2x10
his measurements work out to 96" so 8' should work. I think I would go with the 8' and shorten seat and shelf by one inch
Yes, it’s 8’ long

cool thnx
The way the wood cups should determine the Top or bottom..
This is the one that caught my attention. I sent an email. Take my advise boys.
Ok we’ll check it out, thanks!
4:00 Using a speed square would make this a lot easier/faster/accurate
For sure

Parallelogram
Ahhh right! You just taught me a new geometry term
@@FishOverChicksWoodworking It was a trapezoid versus a parallelogram. Moronic.
I thought you passed geometry? 😉
Would not a 3/4 inch rebate mame for a better joint between the legs and top. 5:21
Nice
Thank you
1:56 parallel angles. Hope that helps and doesn’t sound like I’m an @$$ 😂
Haha yes that’s the word I was looking for lol!
What was the angle? Did you say 22.5
Yes
1:57 Parallelogram 👍
You really need to prime the wood before painting are it won’t last. Also as mentioned, glue and brad nails will not hold up. I would use pocket holes or dowels.
Anybody who pays $75-$90 for one of these proves P.T. Barnum was correct. Every minute.
Banging nails after glue drying cracks the weakens the glue.
It’s called a parallel cut 🤙🏼
Cuts on the legs are parallel, so the shape is a parallelogram
1:55 "parallel"
1:54
Parallelogram (2 dimensions).
Technically it's called a parallelepiped (3 dimensions).
sanding is easier to do before cutting
do you have the plan for this project?
nice
😎
Brad nails won't hold weight, especially at an angle. They do look nice
Yea the glue is what is giving the bench stability. The brad nails were just there to hold it all together while the glue dried
These videos woodworkers make about easy selling projects never seem to do as well as they say
I have not read all the comments, so this may be a repeat. Nitrile gloves cost almost nothing, and will save your hands when you stain. You also did not show how you fixed the brads that came through. Perhaps a shorter nail?

Use epoxy glue and forget the brads
Cant wait til someone brings that back because they collapsed your seat with brad nails😂😂😂
