    Using 2 branches, gaped to create space between them in place of the board, you could make a awesome latrine seat using this method.

  • @billopad9625
    @billopad9625 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Hey Dan! Improvement suggestion... You can make this exactly the same way, but instead of 7 notches, cut in dovetails & knock in your cross members so the legs are held together in pairs... then you just offer up the seat plank & no falling apart! 👍👍

  • @abittwisted
    @abittwisted 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I don't think you actually need a 7 notch but a two half round notches on either side and use a round branch for your cross braces. Round branches would be stronger. Excellent idea. Easy to make and put away.

    Wow. A really nice bench. Friction fitting is always interesting. With all the bamboo in my backyard it would be easy to throw some shapes together. The simplest one is three lengths spaced parallel. Just get a few shorter pieces and alternate an over-and-under like a weave. Don't try to use it as a bench, though. Probably better suited as a simple framing for a lean-to.

    Instead of using those 7-notches and fidling with those thin crossbeams, you could attach those crossbeams into the legs with dovetail connections. You are basicly making a 2 squares each with 2 of the legs and 2 crossbeams all connected together. That board will than be inserted into that a square on each side. That way you can create very sturdy and a lot more stable legs on both sides of the board.
