    SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: bit.ly/Subscrib...
    Tom and Kevin use reclaimed pine heart wood to create a bench with a historic theme in Build It.
    Tools:
    Grinder/sander
    Table Saw
    Miter Saw
    Router
    Hand saw
    Plywood (for template)
    Scrap wood (for template)
    Chisel
    Hammer
    Jig saw
    Hole saw
    Rubber mallet
    Shopping List:
    Two 8-foot, 2x12 pieces of reclaimed heart pine
    Wood oil
    Steps:
    1. Use a grinder with 50-grit sand paper to take off dirt. Then go over it again with 220-grit sand paper.
    2. Cut rough lengths for boards with a miter saw.
    3. Rip cut legs to cut off _-inch on both sides using a table saw.
    4. Make a jig to cut the tenon for the using plywood and scrap lumber. Place the leg flush with the plywood and attach two “stops” on each side of the plywood. Then move it up above the end of the plywood by 1 7/8-inch and drill in another stop on the third side.
    5. Using a straight-cutting bit in a router, flip the jig over and ride the router along the edge cutting to a depth of _-inch.
    6. Flip the leg and make the same cut with the router on the opposite side.
    7. To finish up the tenon, take _-inch off both sides using a hand saw.
    8. Make the cut, then knock the pieces out with a chisel and a hammer.
    9. To make the mortise, you’ll have to make another jig by measuring your tenon. Then add the the dimension of the templating guide minus the outside dimension of the router bit. This will give you the proper size for the jig.
    10. Using that jig, set the depth for the router and cut two mortises in the seat of the bench.
    11. To add stability to the legs, use a piece of 2x6 as a spreader, which will be attached using tenons on each end and a through-mortise in the legs.
    12. Create a jig the width of your tenon, but allow it to slide down the board as you cut your tenon. Keep the router bit a consistent depth so when you flip the spreader over and reuse the jig on the other side, the tenon will be centered in the spreader.
    13. Reuse the mortise template to cut a through-mortise into each leg. You will need to add fillers to the old jig to ensure it fits the new tenon size.
    14. Cut a “V” notch into each leg to increase the stability of the leg.
    15. Use a hole saw and a jig saw to notch out a small hole in the center of the tenon on each end of the spreader.
    16. Sand down all the pieces using a sander, increasing the grit with each pass.
    17. Use rags to spread oil across each piece. Doing this before you put the bench together will help spread the oil evenly and thoroughly.
    18. Assemble the legs and spreader together, putting the tenons into the through-mortises. Once the pieces are together. Create a peg to put into the notch you cut in each tenon. The peg should be tapered. Once it’s driven into the notch, it will tighten up and not move.
    19. To hold the bench seat to the legs, spread wood glue evenly into the both mortises.
    20. Place the bench seat on top of the legs and hammer it together using a rubber mallet.
    21. Use rags to put a coat of oil on the bench seat.
    Heart pine is only available from reclaimed and salvaged sources. For this project, it was purchased from Longleaf Lumber [www.longleaflu...].
    For a finish, Tom applied Outdoor Oil, manufactured by General Finishes [generalfinishe...].

    Nice work. But it would have been good to put the stencil on the top of the seat so it can be seen

    • @Seanpaulnz01
      @Seanpaulnz01 7 лет назад +18

      Yeah true, but they could have varnished over the stencil. Having the stencil would really give it character.

    • @jakejohanson6562
      @jakejohanson6562 7 лет назад +6

      Seanpaulnz01 I was thinking the same thing. Great looking bench, but there is no way I would put the stencil on the bottom. Put it on the top. A few coats of clear. Then call it good.

    • @johnsmith-wc8gs
      @johnsmith-wc8gs 7 лет назад +18

      remember this is a rough sawn timber. they sanded the top to make it good for sitting not to mention the finish would have looked poorly applied over the stencil, especially unsanded. seeing how this is more or less a makers mark they typically go in an inconspicuous area. the bottom was the best place for it

    • @robertcornelius3514
      @robertcornelius3514 7 лет назад +5

      john: Also, the stencil was on the concave side of the board. Convex side is usually on the top of the seat.

    • @donhill1825
      @donhill1825 6 лет назад +3

      You guys aren't wrong but what's the point of using this reclaimed wood with a cool stencil if nobody can see...the cool stencil. Put a lighter finish in the thing or something. Who cares if the stecil wears a little or if the concave side is up? That's the kind of shit that hapoens when you use reclaimed wood.

  • @aradileepan
    @aradileepan 6 лет назад

    Two questions: 1) how to make the tapered pegs? 2) Oil the interior of the mortise/tenon joints or not? Probably not wherever it's glued, but what about the through-mortises for the stretcher?

    • @terry2346
      @terry2346 5 лет назад

      1. take a straight piece of the right width and thickness and taper it with a hand plane and then cut to length. 2. No.

    I agree with everyone, I can't believe you didn't varnish over the stencil and made it part of the top of the bench. a few coats will smooth out any roughness and vastly improve the character of the piece. what a missed opportunity.
