Great job... just finished mine. Spent a few minutes scratching my head with only 2 legs. Once I realized the mistake in the video...was back on track. Nice rustic bench.

[@Chris-dw8bj]

Got me too! But great build

[@chrisdelaney926]

I built your bench over the past week and it was a complete success. This was a great project for a first time DIYer. Thanks for the fantastic video.

[@breelloyd9750]

how much did this cost you to make?

[@chrisdelaney926]

@@breelloyd9750 I just used construction lumber. Supplies cost more in Canada but I think about 100$ for wood paint and stain.

[@juanrodriquez3726]

Building four of these for a small get together and I must say you did a good job sir.I have two completed.

[@jlgresidentialconstruction8488]

[@pteddie6965]

Excellent bench! I love it. Thanks for the video.

[@CoH_88]

Just built this last week - took me about half a day dealing with a toddler and baby and I am very new to woodworking so def anybody can do this with the right tools and a little know how thanks again! I am curious about wood expansion and if Z clips or something else would be needed but other than that everything went great thanks again!

[@GatorFinishing]

Thanks for watching!

Beautiful

[@dilippatel3268]

excellent video

[@abelmorales4303]

Awesome project! I built two already and have sold them. Have orders for two more of these benches now. Nice, sturdy, simple, quick build, and a money maker. 👍

[@GatorFinishing]

Awesome, thank you!

[@1888CHAD8881]

Do you mind telling roughly how much it cost to build or how much it sold for? Thank you.

[@greenhornadventure]

@@1888CHAD8881 I build a similar bench without the shelf. Stained top, painted and distressed base, all coated with polyurethane. I get $95 per bench and sell them rather quickly.

[@corbinparsons9606]

Love this bench, super helpful video. Do you have plans for this build, and/or a material list?

[@GatorFinishing]

We are in the process of plans and do have a supply list on our webpage www.gatorfinishing.com

[@jenniferbovenkerk1457]

Loved this project!!

[@GatorFinishing]

So glad!

[@cherylmcguire7960]

Beautiful!

[@GatorFinishing]

Thank you!

[@francisamoah-boadu9877]

Nice project! What where can I get the wood paint and the stain please?

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Nice and quick project. Looks great!

[@GatorFinishing]

Thank you, Angie!

[@TchadTheresa]

You didn't mention that (4) 15.5" legs will be needed, not 2.

[@TheChancho21]

I was like...ah something is not right here. 😆

[@17blaze171]

Is screwing the top to the legs like that okay? Are z clips not needed? Asking because im new. I just don’t want it to crack because of expansion

[@courtneycaldwell4541]

Total how many 2x4x8's did you use for this project?

[@charrua1029]

What is the final height of the bench? It looks great. Thanks for sharing.

[@GatorFinishing]

Its stands roughly 2 feet! Thanks for watching

[@phoebeteskey762]

@@GatorFinishing More like 18"

[@sirxorge7611]

So you need 7 8 ft 2x4 for the project ?

[@spencerdelgado4188]

I bought 5

[@regbowes1127]

Fantastic! Do you use glue?

[@GatorFinishing]

Sometimes glue works just as well if not better!

[@GarfThings]

Awesome. But why no glue?

[@GatorFinishing]

Just was a little quicker without

[@pauletteurry6574]

What size screws for the top

[@ericx7476]

Isn’t 220 too smooth for paint to grab well?

[@stayfocus106]

How do you set the miter to cut the 10 degree angle for the legs?

[@GatorFinishing]

Willie,
Our saw has a Mitre Adjustment lever you can set to whatever degree you need. Hope this helps!

[@monicag956]

Amazeballs. I'll be making this bench soon. Thanks for the upload.

[@kernizeancasey2548]

lol I’m ASuper was

[@kernizeancasey2548]

lol lol yea lol lol lol I omg is life fun with and all I do do love to see

[@stephenharper3413]

I can’t get mine to look right because 15.5” legs one side and 14” straight on the other side just doesn’t look right to me

[@garethstevens6422]

Any issue with making the bench top 6 feet in length?

[@GatorFinishing]

Shouldn't be an issue! Thanks for watching!

[@jenkinssthomson8879]

It's more like pocket hole bench.

[@RhodesRand89]

What size pocket screws?

[@flyingdad4538]

2 1/2 inches

[@Andrei5191]

You only show the completed bench at an odd angle for 3 seconds before the video ends.

[@lindamorgey6736]

I did it myself with the Woodglut plans. I think this is the best way to find out how to build it.

[@YuriyKhovansky]

My adventure with woodworking started with Woodglut.
