Thank you for explaining every step along the way. Almost all the other builders seem to think everybody out here knows what they are doing. The idea behind a diy is watching and learning how to do it. So THANK YOU AGAIN. A very helpful video.
Thanks for this fella. I had a good idea of how to DIY mine but watching someone who actually knows what they're doing always helps. Pocket hole jig. I'ma need me on of those 👍
@@marrazzowoodworkingdiy8118as these things tend to happen, a whole load of other stuff has got in the way of my doing what I want. Sons bike breaks, I have to fix it, daughters room has to be decorated because "I'm not a little girl any more", which I think is code for 'she wants to bring a boy home', so out come the step ladders, the paint trays, out we go to B&Q and spend a whole day choosing the correct shade of white.......so no, I haven't yet bought my pocket hole jig. Hopefully I'll get the job done before the end of winter, so my wife and I can watch spring unfold in our wee garden.
Yess, beautifully done, love the end result & I love the videos you managed to let me see all the work you did, without dragging the video on for too long! I need all these tools 😍 so i can do cool things like this!
Put screws in every other hole on the piano hinge (and the opposite on the other side) - this will stop the screws from binding against each other - and the door from 'popping open'.
I asked the client and they only wanted one door. It's pretty spacious and each end can be reached from the single door. They store blankets in there currently.
Thank you for this video. I have a customer who wants a bench just like this one and the steps are easy to follow. It will make this job much easier. Curious what would something like this cost a customer do u think based on the numbers of hours involved? Thanks again. Great video and love the humor!
Hi Megan. Thanks for the question. This job in the Chicagoland area should cost between $1300 - $1500 depending on the quality of plywood and hardwood used as of today's date.
Did you put a second layer of plywood on the top of the unit? I was a bit confused when you described how you had to use two pieces of wood for one of the corner spaces.
Hello from michigan as well! question for you, how much larger did you go on each side for the door opening on the top piece of ply? I see the sub level of plywood has a ledge on it for the actual hinged door to rest on
Yes, unfortunately, that took me that long. Being the first one I ever did and not having any plans whatsoever and just winging it. I know I can do the job in 2 days now. If it was at my own home with all my tools here and not having to travel 30 miles in between job sites and with this experience.
I was just kidding, it turned out really nice, but I think I would have explained to the homeowner that the baseboard that got covered up was alittle eccentric, but if they weren't friends they would have been charged for that lol. Nice job...
@Daniel Murphy thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, as a police officer for the past 24 years and still active, I have a different opinion of the flag.

You're very welcome! Thank YOU for your feedback! Good luck with your project!
DIY, drums, AND a Michigan fan?… the whole package
Lol. Not sure about that, but thanks!
Thanks for this fella.

Pocket hole jig.
I'ma need me on of those 👍
You're welcome! Did you get your pocket hole jig yet?

This was so helpful

I'd like to request a Mike to make some memories in Texas building my window seat!!
I'd love to fly to Texas lol
Need to make this ... ur fantastic wow
Thanks so much! You can do it!!!
Great work. And nice drum kit! You should have rocked a solo at the end of this video. Building the same thing soon. Thanks for the content.
Thanks! Sorry for the delay in response.
Yess, beautifully done, love the end result & I love the videos you managed to let me see all the work you did, without dragging the video on for too long! I need all these tools 😍 so i can do cool things like this!
Thanks Melissa!!
Great Build!!! Trade that shirt in for an Iowa Hawkeye shirt!!!
Lol Thanks Joey!! Send me a large and I'll wear it. Matter of fact I'll trade you one of my new Marrazzo Woodworking shirts for an Iowa shirt😉
wow nice ! i need you to do this in my house :)
Do you live close? Lol
Great video! thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your video I really enjoyed it I am actually thinking the same similar design doing on my bay windows
You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Good luck on your build!!!! You can do it!!
Nice! Thank you!!!
I'm glad you liked it!
Put screws in every other hole on the piano hinge (and the opposite on the other side) - this will stop the screws from binding against each other - and the door from 'popping open'.
Great for the price!
when i did my bench seating i brought the outlets forward. couldn't stand losing my outlets....
How did u do that? I have same issue
I wanted to do the same but was shot down
- Wouldn't there have been more access to fully use the storage if there'd been two top doors ??? Excellent work.
I asked the client and they only wanted one door. It's pretty spacious and each end can be reached from the single door. They store blankets in there currently.
Thank you for this video. I have a customer who wants a bench just like this one and the steps are easy to follow. It will make this job much easier. Curious what would something like this cost a customer do u think based on the numbers of hours involved? Thanks again. Great video and love the humor!
Thanks. I am glad it was helpful. I underbid this job by a lot! I would now charge a minimum of at least $800.00.
what do you think would be reasonable pricing to have something like this commissioned? Just curious what your thoughts are. Thanks!
Hi Megan. Thanks for the question. This job in the Chicagoland area should cost between $1300 - $1500 depending on the quality of plywood and hardwood used as of today's date.
Your awesomeness
Lol. Thanks
What paint did you use? Particularly for the front panels?
I believe Tony had me use a water-based semi gloss latex. I'm not sure of the brand, but I prefer Sherwin Williams.
Hi what’s the high of the bench thanks
I forget the height but it's mentioned in the part 1 video
Is the base secured to the floor??
I actually did screw the bottom 2x4s to the floor.
You are really funny lol
Lol thanks. Hope you were entertained while learning
Did you put a second layer of plywood on the top of the unit? I was a bit confused when you described how you had to use two pieces of wood for one of the corner spaces.
Yes there were two sheets if 3/4" plywood. Sorry for the confusion
Hello from michigan as well! question for you, how much larger did you go on each side for the door opening on the top piece of ply? I see the sub level of plywood has a ledge on it for the actual hinged door to rest on
Hello Lawrance! I don't exactly remember, most likely 2"-4". I can ask my friend to measure it for me if you'd like.
nice beer scene
Thanks
How much would this cost? I am thinking about hiring someone to do this.
Sorry for the delay. Anywhere from $600 - $800 would be fair if not low in some areas.
who would I call to build me something like this?
Hi Joan. Where do you live? You can try searching "Woodworker near me" on Google. Someone should pop up. Then ask for references, photos, and reviews.
What was the material you used for the front trim (vertical side facing the audience)? Was it 1 x 3" poplar or 1/2" plywood?
Sorry for the delay. It was poplar.
@@marrazzowoodworkingdiy8118 thanks!
Now come to my house to build me one
LOL. I need one in my house next!
Tony couldn't eat enough pizza?! What planet is he from?
Mars I think. Lol
I cant believe i watch you take 4 days to install a bench seat😢
Yes, unfortunately, that took me that long. Being the first one I ever did and not having any plans whatsoever and just winging it. I know I can do the job in 2 days now. If it was at my own home with all my tools here and not having to travel 30 miles in between job sites and with this experience.

Thanks. Yeah, I commented to them that the mice will have the nicest living area in the mouse kingdom 🤣
Came for the woodwork, left for the fascism
hmmmmm
This isn’t an airport, no need to announce your departure
Love the video! Hate the blue lives matter flag🧚🏽
Hmmmm
Definitely left a sour taste after sitting through both videos
Same. It’s so frustrating when you run into otherwise decent folks sporting a nationalist gang sign 😔
Solid video though.
@Daniel Murphy thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, as a police officer for the past 24 years and still active, I have a different opinion of the flag.
@@marrazzowoodworkingdiy8118 look I have friends in rcmp here in Canada, and I assume you’re a decent guy. But after hearing their stories, if I see a blue line, it’s telling me that the officer wearing it is broadcasting that they care more about their brotherhood than the public good, and I have to wonder how much that officer would be willing to sweep under the rug to protect that. If they put up their own flag instead of the one that we all share, whose side are they on?
It undermines my trust in the police.
That said, you do earnestly seem like a chill guy. I mean, if that’s the culture I was immersed in, if all my buddies were convinced it was us against the world and I would get ostracized for keeping up a regular flag, I’d probably be flying the blue line too.
Anyway, thanks for the reply. I’ll fully be watching this series another 2-3 times to get a feel for how you lined up the piano hinges.
