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...].

"I want to save the stencil" so Tom puts it under the bench!
I am so happy Ask this Old House is on RUclips. Our local PBS station stopped showing the This Old House hour a few years ago.
now u know how i feel when Food Network Canada stopped showing episodes of Iron Chef America around the same timeframe lol
Tommy is the MAN. Old lumber has so much character. Good job as always gentlemen!
This is a nice simple project for a Saturday, even if all you have is regular lumber! Well done!
Tom is a master Craftsman
Tom Silva = THE MAN. HE makes it look so easy!
Tom has a Big Cock!
good demo of router guides
I really like the tips on how to use a router jig. Great look.
I love it when I stumble across and older episode that I missed. Great piece/great work --thanks!
Tom Silva the Master!
I'm English and I love this programme I watch it on RUclips it really good it's way better diy SOS
Tommy and his son work well together
You really put some heart into the bench.
Oh no! It wobbles at the end? I hope they can fix that it looks so good!
Most likely the floor is crooked.
And if not, it's not hard to level something like that; just take off a small amount of material from the bottom of a leg or two and you'd be golden.
norms day off...stuffs out of wack : )
That’s the barn floor NOT the bench.
rotation of the earth throws off the level
gotta love Tom
vaw power legend to me, I follow his work and have made some nice pieces. I like how he’s obviously very skilled but very relaxed. Top man to me here in England 🏴 🏴
I agree with SeanpaulNZ, I would have preserved the stencil and used it as the top of the bench. Still nice job
I need Kevin to hold stuff when I'm working. I think that's the main reason my dad had me.
I come from a long line of Flashlight holders...
Kevin has to be the highest paid helper I've seen
Same here haha,
Can I met you some time
Just be glad your dad wasn’t a cotton farmer...
Awesome bench and awesome butcher block from that rare wood.
So nice
Love this program
well done , very beautiful
Quality bench. Well done!
Finally showed the finished project...
lovely
A nice smart build.
Excellent work.
Such talent!
the table had a lot of rock in it when they were done, if you were paying close attention
No nails needed. Nice!
That is a really nice piece of wood!
Just excellent
Did anyone else notice the wood split where the peg was hammered in
Nice work. But it would have been good to put the stencil on the top of the seat so it can be seen
Yeah true, but they could have varnished over the stencil. Having the stencil would really give it character.
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.
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
john: Also, the stencil was on the concave side of the board. Convex side is usually on the top of the seat.
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.
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?
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.
Very very good
Pretty cool Tom 🤙🏻
Great Job!
Beautiful!
Master splinter fer sure
Tom Silva is a very shrewd guy, he asked Kevin to check the over-hang was equal on both ends of the bench when it was already glued and wedged together. In other words, "sod off for a minute Kevin will ya"
You're right. Busted.
They could always trim off the long end.
Been watching This Old House and related shows(AskTOH,Norm's DIY show) since it started day 1 with Bob Vila.Will be watching till I die or the show dies.They talk with us not at us. Like we are their buddies,not not like we're stupid idiots.
What's the reason for sanding with a grinder instead of a random orbital or belt sander? Cheers
I can't believe you put the stencil on the bottom. That is half of why this piece could've been cool.
Why not cut the mortises and chop the tennons with a chisel? Saves building all the templates.
They only had a limited time to get the job done and his way is a LOT faster! And leaves a smoother surface to the tenon :)
Hi
Can you please make a video on how to make a lockable PC tower cabinet
300 dollar bench right there folks :O
How much do you think the reclaimed wood cost them?
For a bench that sits out in the rain, I would approach this a much simpler way, and it will last just as long and just as sturdy.
Should have put the stencil on the stringer so you could see it...Tommy doesn't usually make mistakes but that was one...
width of stringer have anything to do with that ? your not looking or what
Peter J. Donnelly I am a carpenter for 30 years...I could have put that stencil anywhere I wanted...He ripped and shaped all the wood...He could have cut that piece out to make the spreader...
+godbluffvdgg So what your saying is Tommy made a mistake by not putting the stencil on top?
Looks like Kevin has been hitting the gym. #GingerBeast
Hal can I build something with yall
Put video on. How to make simple concrete table or wooden table for computer
Similar method for base but create shuttered surround instead of top piece if you want concrete top, don't forget to allow for fastening housing before pouring concrete mate !
Hi sorry to both you I was just wanted if you could give me advice on the best way to Build a work shop cabinet
Nice bench. When did wood workers start wearing cheap deli gloves?
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.
h baker I was saying the something
Great vid; thabja
I meant, ‘thanks’!
Where’s Norm, he used some of the oldest first generation tools and look at his work. Yes tools make our jobs easier but you still need the skills. All the best tools in the world will only collect dust unless operated by skilled craftsman.
A little rocky guys , tolerances too tight
What oil was used? Tung?
Looked like general finishes outdoor oil
how do you make the tapered peg?
by hand..and eye....
really
That's not goin anywheh
That's the idear
False. Sorta. It does not always take 30 years for a Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) to grow 1 inch. If the trees are young (less than 50 years old) it can grow as fast as 3 year per inch.
Good thing you cleared that up for everyone so we can sleep..
Ha!
Any idea as to cost? Mans time to acquire lumber, cost of lumber, payroll two guys, and a shop full of new accurate tools. Great job though I'd prob go to the local Amish furniture store and by a bench 😆
Nice rare wood sucks I can only afford scrap pieces of old scrap 2x6 from my dads work site which are like a foot long so not much lol
I would have left the name on the out side.
The name may have smeared once oil was applied to it.
is it just me or does the bench wobble?
Most likely the floor is crooked.
Wobble
most likely the floor, my floor is the same way in the garage so that any water will drain out and not sit.
Build up your videos upload videos from your email app woodworking app
wobbled a lot.
Not a fan of Festool. Overrated, overpriced and there are many tools on the market that work just as well. Sorry but paying $400 for a festool vacuum is a JOKE!!! , let alone the same price for a jig saw.
UNKPCRIDE $800 track saw too.
What's wrong with paying good money for tools?
Sounds like maybe you're a little jealous.
People that don't own Festool often make those quality and pricing claims :)
dont Matter the brand ; just the skill of the user.

Fine bench, but you hid the stencil. :(
I wish they used AMERICAN tools :/
Marc Perillo It's hard to beat German engineering.
I was thinking the same when watching - but you can't blame Tommy for using Festool, they're very nice! If they ever drop GMC and start driving BMWs, that will be a different story! haha
Marc: The Globalist don't care what you use.
+Marc Perillo It's hard finding anything that is made in America anymore
And what tools are made in the USA?
its hideous
So plain
