I use a mitre saw, a drill with either a paddle bit or forstner bit, a band saw, sometimes a jig saw, and a belt sander. I believe that’s all.

Thanks a lot

The usable depth inside the pantry is right at 17-1/2”.

@@DIYWoodntYou what's the depth of the entire space? I'm looking to make something like this and I'm wondering what's reasonable depth of the room itself

If I remember correctly I believe the nook was maybe 22 or 22-1/2 deep. You have the depth of the framing (3-1/2”) + sheetrock on both sides (1”) + the casing on the inside (1/2” or 3/4”) + the 17-1/2 usable space. So between 22 and 22-1/2”.

@@DIYWoodntYou awesome thank you

Sure. That’s actually easier to calculate than it might seam. This bench is 48” wide. So your material list for a 96” wide of the same setup would just be doubled. I hope this helps.

​@@DIYWoodntYou thank you!!

I’m not sure honestly. I haven’t used that program on this machine. I know there are forums and Facebook groups for support with questions like this though.

Thank you!

Thanks so much! It’s starting to come together!

Thanks David!

Thanks! Yeah, she’s usually right about things.

Thanks so much! I’m glad it was helpful. I hope your build goes well!

In the video I break down the dimensions pretty detailed to try to make it easy to replicate. As far as the inspiration photo, it kind of depends on the size that you want to make it, as to what your material list looks like. It helps me to sit down and actually draw it out to figure up my material list.

I can see that. The homeowner loves wood, and loves the original oak cabinets. She’s debated on painting the cabinet base or leaving it stained. So I build what I’m asked to build. 😉

Good point. It’s too late to put it in the video, but I added it in the video description.

I’ve never had to deal with a SharkBits failure. I’ll make sure and check it occasionally. Thanks for the insight!

Thank you! If it wasn’t so far away from where I live I’d love to go see how it’s holding up 2 years later. 😁

Thanks! With the color combo that we have picked out for this property, I think the black accents are really going to pop!

There are a couple variables that I take into account when pricing. The size, finish, material and intricacy of the desired result plays into it. I’m happy to discuss it further if you email me.

Thanks so much! The dark brown one is Poplar, and the word wine is Pine. I don’t have a template made up for them yet because I free handed them.

Thanks Brittney! I could be wrong, but I don’t believe it has anything to do with mold. For me it’s just more appealing to the eye, because you can have it trimmed out nicely at the bottom, and it makes it structurally sound. I have seen people doing hall tree benches with vertical dividers opened to the floor lately, and I like the look. I feel like it would be pretty easy to knock one of them out of whack though….so I dunno. 🤷🏼

Thanks so much! I used a Behr stain and sealer, and the color is Cordovan brown. It’s held up well. I’d make sure and apply the 3 coats that they recommend.

Hmmm. I’m pretty sure your perspective was skewed, cause I don’t believe I shot any nails toward myself. 🤔Thanks for tuning in though!

Thank you!

Thanks so much!

Good luck with yours! It definitely helps to have friends with experience and the right tools. It wasn’t too bad though. 👍🏻

Thanks! I’m glad it helped. I made that video, I believe, 6 years ago. I broke that discharge chute to the point of replacing it this last fall. It had a good run with the $3 fix! 😂

Yeah man, it's definitely a cool feature to add! We've talked about adding an electric motor and a remote, so that you can retract the stairs when you leave as well.

He’s my good buddy actually. We’re married to women. We do work together a lot, and typically we get mistaken for brothers. I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 😁

It's like a lot of lessons; hard to grasp unless you've lived it. But once you've learned it, it changes your perspective. :)

Ah shoot! That makes sense why my water bill's been so high!! Be right back!

Thanks so much! They are really fun pieces, and they do make a big impact.

Thanks!

Thanks Lu!

Looking on Atomstacks website at the slider on the R30, it appears to be the same. But I’d hate to say it would work without knowing the dimensions. I’m sure Atomstack’s customer service could tell you for sure.

Thanks so much! I think if I could get more videos out on a regular schedule, I could grow my channel faster. 😂 But life is busy, so I’ll post when I can. 👍🏻 Thanks again for the encouraging words!

True…but then I’d have to walk all the way to the shed. 😂

Thanks so much Beverly! I try to keep the videos as light hearted and entertaining as possible. 😁

Yeah, of course! I’m glad it was helpful. I hope you have fun with your build! I may be building one in my own house soon. 😂

It’s for 1/2” pex.

I’m honestly not sure Tom. I’ll check and let you know.

If you’re talking about at the minute and a half mark in the video, the 15.25” dimension is the height of the bench frame.

The side panels should be 15.25 h x 14.5 w to achieve a bench that’s 16” high, and 16” deep. Because you have the face frame and the bullnose which are both .75 thick. 👍🏻

That’s awesome Catherine! It’s so rewarding being able to look at something and know that you put in the time and energy to learn, and accomplish it, isn’t it?? Good luck with the renovation! Thank you for the kind words. I hope you enjoy my content! If you like renovations, you’re gonna love the Early 1900’s farmhouse to AirBNB project that we’re currently working on. I’m hoping to get the 3rd episode of that out soon. 🤞🏻😬

Thanks brother!

Thank you so much Charlotte! I like keeping my videos light hearted. 😂

Something happened with my email a little while ago, and all of my responses to comments got deleted. 🤦🏼‍♂️ I did notice quite a change in temp. If I remember correctly in the heat of the summer it was only about 12 degrees warmer in there than it was in the house. So, the heat has not been an issue. 👍🏻

Dang, I’m sorry to hear that! My only suggestion would be to cut a piece out, maybe to the closest joint, and replace it with a longer piece to give you some more slack in the line. 🤷🏼

Thanks for the view buddy. 👌🏻

I’m a female btw. This would be my first project. Like I know some things but it’s clearly not enough

Thanks for reaching out Zoe! I understand how this can be completely overwhelming, both the build aspect, and learning a design software. Here's how my brain works, so it's not so overwhelming...Break it down into manageable pieces. Grab a tape measure, sharp pencil, calculator and note pad. Figure out how deep and tall you want the bench to be. Break it down into layers from there. The bench needs a face frame, side panels, inside panels, back panel, bottom panel, and top. What are the actual dimensions of the material used to build that? Good thing to know : 1 x 2's actually measure 3/4" x 1-1/2", not 1" x 2" 🙄. Same goes for all lumber from a big box store. Alright, so the depth front to back of the face frame (white primed pieces in the video) is 3/4", then you figure you want a bullnose that sticks out on the front, that also measures 3/4". So now you have 1-1/2" of material thickness. If you want your overall bench depth to be 16", then you subtract the thickness of what you just figured out from that (16" - 1-1/2" = 14 -1/2"). Now you see that your side panels will be 14 - 1/2" deep. Just go piece by piece, and do the same thing, and it will come together! Reach back out if you need to along the way. I'm going to try to sit down and actually make a downloadable build drawing of this. That would be helpful... 😁

Thanks! It was 3mm craft wood.
