    As a retired Economics teacher, I would have liked a breakdown of costs and returns. Thanks for all the ideas.

      So, after visiting a few dollar stores in our area, I hit the jackpot and found the perfect set. They’re 6 feet long, took 2 AA batteries, and I mounted the battery pack on the back side. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

      You know, I totally understand your frustration, I too started out with an empty garage, hammered out some shelving along the sides of my shop, then when I saved up some cash from projects i built like our cornhole boards. I ended up framing a bench out of 2 x 4s, with pocket hole and glue construction. Then I purchased a few sheets of good one side plywood, which was on sale and skinned my work bench with it, creating what you see at the beginning of our video. It's been a great investment and works well with what we do. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

    How long of a stretch of lights do you think is a good amount to give a good covering? Bought some and they were just wayyy too long.

    • @PatioBenders
      @PatioBenders  9 месяцев назад +3

      So we sell them for 30.00 CAD here. The lights really help their appearance, and lights are from the dollar store. The first batch sold within four days, I was shocked and the second batch is moving well, and after this coffee, the dogs and I are back in the shop, having to build a third batch. So its been a good experience, thanks for watching. 😃

    where did you get the lights at?

    • @PatioBenders
      @PatioBenders  9 месяцев назад +2

      Great question. I'm from Canada 🇨🇦, so for me, I went to the dollar store. I had to go to a few stores before I found what I was looking for. The light set I purchased comes in a package the same size as a cigarette cartoon, plastic in nature. One set of lights cost me like 2 bucks CAD. And the string of lights are 6 ft long and needs two AA batteries to light it up. I just hot glued the battery pack on the back side of the Christmas tree, fits well in behind and hidden nicely. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching.

    I like these videos however they leave.majority of us frustrsted as the aversge Jo of this World doest have all the tools u demonstrate with..Yes would be relatively straightforward if we all had workshop,equipment & tools u have..Best tip here is dont watch unless u h ave tools needed to work wiv...& for the priducer how about u re do this using ONLY hand tools ..That would b amazing

    • @rubberducky1902
      @rubberducky1902 9 месяцев назад +1

      just buy 4x1 and cut it 30 degree angles with a handsaw. It's simple.
      Preferably use a chop saw as if you don't have any power tools you will likely find it very challenging to do a consistent cut with a hand tool
      You don't need a jig either. Just measure the overlap and use nails to pin them together
