It was time to make something better for sleeping up at the cabin and I am so excited to get this futon up to my cabin and test it out. This was a super fun project and I am happy with how it turned out. I really like the steel plate bracket details. Thanks for following along!
I was watching some old videos from a couple years ago and this is no joke; you now look so much healthier and happy. It seems you have found your path brother.
Stunning result. The branch shaped metal support is a really clever choice that looks fantastic. Bravo.
Thanks for the reminder on the air-comp drain...just did it, about a quart of yellow, oily water. Thanks for all the excellent videos!
Terrific build Jesse! That is an awesome piece of furniture & I love the wood that you choose! 👍👍😉😉
Love the wood-choice!! Well done on another outstanding peace of furniture!! Greets from germany!!
This is an attractive design and very practical too.
Another lovely piece. I love your attention to the construction but also the finish. Watching you rub that wood mate 😁BUT also it’s for the cabin and it’s gonna be proper art with a function. Lots of love and respect from Weymouth, Dorset, UK. 🙏💪
@The-Samurai-Carpenter___.858k Is this legit?
I really enjoy your videos and watching the progress on your off-grid cabin. I think it might have been better to flip the hinge over so the pin side would face down when the futon is opened for sleeping. You could have routed an opening for it to be recessed into so the sleeping surface would be completely flat.
That’s assuming the hinge mounting holes were all countersunk on that side…
@@tristanscott4118 True. That level of detail is not visible on the video. It is a beautiful piece.
Beautiful work Jesse. Darlington, South Carolina
Beautiful work. I'd check that compressor out - they can blow up due to rusting from the inside. It's no joke. They'll go off like a 💣
very Branchy...awesome as usual :)
Nice work, Samurai. Sapele is beautiful wood, good call.
Real fan of the square plugs 👍
Fantastic build!
Gorgeous!!!
With compressor, remove drain plug n put connection for flex line to run to a convenient spot with ball valve or auto drain at the end.Tank pressure will force fluid up the line.
Nice wood choice!
Going to drain my compressor right now!
Strange ending. Woulda liked to see the folding mechanism work and how the metal branches connected. Cheers.
Yes left disappointed
Very much so
.... but that CORDED router. so retro! 🎯
I've done that. but your the champion as far as how much water came out.😂
Looks damn good bruh!!
I had a customer that was having problems with an air powered machine I found that there was alot of water getting into the valves causing them to stick so I checked their compressor the 80 gallon tank was full of water. It had an auto drain so no one ever checked it problem was the drain was plugged.
Ooo get a shaper origin!
A lot of effort went into the multiple takes of Jessie performing his part of an orchestra.
I always have my compressor tank near a drain when emptying it.
Lovely. Are you making the large cushion/mattress, too?
Your workshop is not part of the sale?
Thought you sold the house? Did you keep the shop?
New owners probably don't take possession for a couple of months at least.
0:17 I'm all for a good pencil...but how many pencils does one Samuai need?
Very nice. Now you gonna make the matt too? ;)
What finish do you use?
hello do you have plans please?
You just bought yourself another year of ignoring your compressor, well done sir.
when you use that white pad to rub in odies, do you find that the wood sometimes catches fibers even though you've sanded it really smooth? how do you deal with that? i have to go back and just find and remove all the fibers but i was wondering if theres a better pad or applicator to use so this doesnt happen
Synthetic steel wool works really well. Doesn’t come apart like a rag and doesn’t leave tiny metal particles like real steel wool. Also if you use it with oil or wax it really polishes your work piece.
I can safely say I've only left my compressor full of air overnight like twice lol.
So what finish do you use
Did you have the volume off?
Watch the video again, he only said it 3+ times
Open that drain every night
RIP to everyone who gets murdered by those steel braces lol
No Cetol?😂🍊🍊🍊

I’m sure this has been asked … how the heck are you moving your shop? Assume you have to build a shop before you build your house??
I cut my plugs off with the bandsaw....if you put painters tape over them before cutting, they peel off and stay stick to the tape.
Samurai, as a former multi-chain automotive repair shop owner who used a LOT of air compressors I'd suggest putting an automatic drain on the bottom of your compressor. They work wonders. Always a thumbs up!
I usually love your stuff end to end but the ending on this one was weird. I would have liked to see more fabrication of the metal branch and also how it worked. Seemed rushed 🤷♂️
Futon came out nice though!
14:45 Better out than in!
Ipe was the original wood used for the Atlantic City Boardwalk. It lasted 100 years. Sand. Water. Wind. Stinky feet. It used to be one of the most expensive woods. It has a high silica content. Mask up when sanding ipe. Silicosis happens “down the road” of life. The fork we take happens early in life. “Mask” is a good 4 letter word when woodworking. Think of tropical hardwoods as if you were working with FIBERGLASS. Silica is glass. Trees incorporated it because it resulted reduced insect predation. Even insects don’t survive ingesting silica woods.
Why is everyone so people.
We need less everyone's
The question is, where is the futon?:-)
Really like this piece man! Well done, it looks fantastic
Jesse is the Jimmy page of woodworking.
My fridge does the same nasty thing to me, always fills up with water 💧
You seem to use drill and chisel for mortises (generally speaking, not in this particular video) when the mortise machine would work much more easily. What gives?
Where are you going to put all your equipment while you build out your new homestead?
Is all of the wood working equipment going to end up at the lake property, or setting up another shop somewhere, or?...
Very nice bed. I find the shiny brass piano hinge clashes with the those nice dark metal branches you made.
I was confused why you'd call the frame (the thing you built) a "futon". So I checked wikipedia and lo and behold, you are referring to the American-style "futon", which actually includes the frame in its meaning. That was new to me, never heard that before.
If you'd ask a Japanese person they'd never even think about a frame, because in Japan "futon" means the actual mattress as well as the bedding/covers, plus a futon would usually be placed on tatami mats, not on a frame.
Anyway, interesting build and video.
There are Temples that have survived thousands of years without "screws". Convenient laziness. Slow down to the pace of Nature. It pays off.
I would’ve mounted the hinge to be the least visible-and visible.
Dude, isn’t it time to improve the sound quality, I watch you at night when the kids are in bed and I have to turn it right up to hear you which is fine until an ad pops up and wakes the entire house (I watch through the TV)
why on earth did you drain the whole thing in the cupboard you must've stood there and watched it drain for like 10minutes
I hope you know that a "futon" it's just a few layers of blankets on a Japanese floor "tatami" and not a foldable bed!
That metal branch is kinda dangerous for kids.. looks great though
Is it possible to use a futon metal frame and turn it into a garden bench.
Too funny, l finally raised mine up so l can access the drain valve. I had a similar experience.
I am going to shut down my TH-cam viewing. Where else will I find you?
So are all the tools going with you on the move? Or are they staying with the new owners?
If you sold your house, where is your woodworking shop located?
Thanks for the reminder on the compressor, got a solid gallon out of mine…oops
So where are all the tools / workshop going to go with the sale of the house? Renting a warehouse?
What brand plug cutter is that? Mine don’t cut nearly that neat.
TH-cam isn't letting me like your video again!
fucking sick brother
I have seen those auto drain system for the air compressors but never tried it
Beautiful, dude! Fantastic work! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Why didn’t you turn the hinge over and inset it so ya don’t have to lay on it?
Left your tool vest at the cabin, didn't ya? 😁
Are you in the TV show "Manifest"?
How does it fall down I don’t see how it works
How does that piano hinge up the back eh? lol
nothing better than a fart joke🤣
What is with the no safety glasses? I take it you've never caught a wood chip in the eye before? The router is a HUGE risk to have no safety glasses on. Maybe you just can't see them, but looks like they are missing at 6:50ish. I get forgetting some times, but you only need 1 mistake or a couple close calls to never forget again.
Agreed mate, having cut my fingers with a circular saw due to my own stupidity I've got a heightened awareness of the dangers of woodworking. Unfortunately this community doesn't react well to someone criticizing their hero, prepare for the onslaught. (Inb4 "saftey Karen")

@@daveklein2826 good one Dave. Heaven forbid you comment anything other than those two words ever. 😂
@@jordanschache5757 ok Sally
@@daveklein2826 DK is correct if not sophomoric and misogynistic in criticism. Huff some cedar dust mixed with walnut and epi and get back to us as soon as you get that lung transplant and a glass eyeball with a tiny American flag for a pupil. I know too many PAST woodworkers with 7 digits, Epi pens in their pockets because of anaphylactic response to wood dust “all of the sudden”, and skin rashes due to wood dust exposure. Exotic wood dust especially. Even the smoke can severely disable the inhaler. But hey, I’ve only been working woods into concert quality flutes for 30 years. I’m still learning.
Man your going to miss that shop!
Wood type used : Sapele
Ahh a futon you can root on

So nice
So the Samurai really didn't sell the house. Can we believe in anything the Samurai says. Is he spewing disinformation .....
I can't believe he lied to us like this... Is he even a woodworker? Can we trust anything he says?
yes we do think you are fruity too awesome video too
Hey Samurai, what kind of finish do you use? It looks amazing and simple to apply.
Did you watch the video or…..
LMAO, Odies oil
LOL
@@torridice Do not feed the troll :D
@@tatepishepard don't worry. I thought it would be a good way for a second spot on the advertisement of Odies Oil lol.
wanted to see the finished product in the down position, to see how the metal braces worked and where they were in the sleeping configuration
Try getting various fruit tree trunks from orchards that cut down old trees to plant young ones. You don't get very large pieces from them, but some of the wood looks great. And chances are you'll get them for the price of firewood. Usually the trunks are small enough that you can use your bandsaw to cut boards.
Nice results there Sammy C! Since you sold your property, how much longer do you have access to the shop OR was that not part of the sale?
As a chippy myself! I can appreciate your skills! But it does help to have all the good Machinery! 👍👍✅
Draining the Air compressor was a daily chore at the shop I worked at as an Auto mechanic. FYI.
the branches are nice but i'm seeing a tube of skin glue, butterfly strips & a speedy trip back into town to find a 24 hr clinic...
long time subscriber here… love what you give us for free. But why are the videos so low in audio? I have my cranked and can barely hear it. Unless my hearing goes bad when I play your videos. lol
Fantastic great cinema, thanks for your inspiration - all thumbs up.

Did you put a washer behind the branches where they attach to the seat of the bench? I feel like a washer would prevent a lot of wear. Or at least keep it from being visible.
