I am glad to hear that you have found this book to be very informative and helpful for your woodworking project th-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO It sounds like you are well prepared and confident to build furniture for your house. I commend you and your friend for your enthusiasm and willingness to learn new things from this book. I hope you enjoy your woodworking journey and create some beautiful pieces.
nice work mike. You might want to consider adding some structural support. 2x4 on the flat won't carry the weight of an adult male and your couch will sag in weeks. Cheers!
I’m torn. Although I agree because more bracing the better, I’m not sure if it’s necessary. I built a bed inspired by the legend Matthias wandel. I used 2x4s for the slats that has a wider span than this sofa. I added about 8 2x4s and was intending to add a middle support beam but never did because I had no issues. No sagging at all and we’ve been using the bed for about 6 years now.
@@SparkysJourney It doesn’t take much to do it, and it’s peace of mind and takes all that work into the next century by lasting that long. Sometimes lazy doesn’t take the life of a project too far. If it were me, I’d add the piece so it last like the pyramids! Ha! We have had things last in our home ages, and it saves a ton of money down the line when u may have to repair other things at the same time that don’t last, like water heaters cause they don’t want to make them out of galvanized metal. When it comes to water, u would think they’d care about the longevity of expensive items. These companies need to take more pride in their items, but in my case, the same company made double the money after 15 years. That’s more items in the landfills and not a recommendation to others when they need one.
Well, I love it. Being a furniture/upholsterer consultant, this is a fab DIY project. As for The Simple Cushion Company--go get it! Let me know if you need any extra cushion promo. Upholstery is my jam.
Man, I love what you do with this Channel. Me and my dad are trying to build a dining room table with a hidden recessed middle for playing board games. It would be amazing if you made something like that in the future! Great work on this project!
Yes and also I’d like to see his reaction 30 secs later when Mike loses his inner Chris again when attaching the sides and slathers the glue on like whipped cream on a sloppy cake. xD
Beautiful look, and love the new cushions!!! Are you guys considering outdoor cushions in the future? Would loke to do a similar build for some outdoor seating.
Looks great, and you make it look so quick and easy too. I'd love to see the cushions without that seam across the front. And I wish that you were more specific on what material your "vegan leather" is made from. I'm assuming it's just polyurethane like most cheap ones are, especially since there isn't any additional info listed as a selling feature. But there are so many more sustainable and ethical options available now, so I hope you're planning on exploring them!
What might be cool is using wider cuts for the center boards on the sides. Then you could have a little shelves for your remotes and decor and stuff like that.
Lots of potential with that cushion company. Great idea. Like to see different cover options, chaise cushion plus smaller ones for chairs. Want to make a black vegan leather one with walnut plywood. Can’t wait till you expand.
01/04/22, @modernbuilds I am curious about making this , but not as angled so it could have a flip out to make a bed. I recall your Murphy bed. Been watching Incredible Tiny Homes and saw a few of that crafts person's designs. Impressed.
This is the first video I’ve ever watched from your channel, and the fact that you addressed the issue with the sponsored drill overheating and letting us know…. Respect man. Definitely subscribed after that. Is that cushion made for outdoor use?
It shows how durable it is after u sat on it. It didn’t budge, except when it slid back. That’s just slippery floors tho. Ha! Ur an amazing crafter. I wish all builders took pride in their work as u do for all customers. 🌝🌿🙏👌
congratulations you nailed the design and also are a few of the youtube builders that is actually wearing work shoes dust and eye protection SAFETY IS #1 this is something that should be monitored by safety experienced viewers and collaborate with other builders that are showing videos of themselves in flip flops no shoes and even have kids walking around the work area without any shoes . THOSE ARE SOME OF THE FOLKS YOU OFTEN SEE WALING AROUND MISSING A TOE OR A FINGER OR AN EYE ETC.
Looks real good Mike! The kinda design I'd love to replicate, then take a router to and add some little detail here and there and then paint. The cushions are TIGHT too, sooo cool!
Looks great, I'll be building this. My problem is finding those straight and untwisted 2x4 that all you TH-camrs work with. All Home Depots around me sell crappy wood at crappier prices.
I have to wonder how much time it took to find those. I'd have to spend at least 45 minutes going thru them at homedepot and still probably wouldn't find enough. Not a dig at you Mike, great build, just ranting about the dimensional lumber situation (and cost!).
it's all about digging for good boards and buying extra when there's a good batch!! I probably leave 4/5 of the boards I sift through when picking lumber and I always buy extra for the boards that twist on me as they dry that way I have extra matching boards!
@@ModernBuilds That's also not even taking into consideration, the difference in humidity levels between your home/workshop and the lumber yard from where you make your purchase. Huge tip to give to followers when it comes to buying, is to ensure the wood is stored inside to avoid changes in humidity, which can twist/cup/warp a perfectly jointed piece of lumber all too quickly. Same applies to the lumber yard... it's very likely the pieces were actually perfectly jointed at some point, but due to most lumber yards storing their stock outdoors (at least where I am)... it doesn't stay this way for long... cause humidity. To avoid this, I'd say, find out when the yard gets/cuts fresh stock and get it as soon as you can, fresh, to avoid outdoor exposure damage.
The bench looked good the only thing I could change is either screwing a battern along the middle from the under side to help stop sagging or build a leg to help stop sagging or turn the timbers on there side they will sag a lot less like that
Really appreciate the transparency regarding the hart drill! Thanks for another great video.
I appreciated his honestly about the drill too, even though we have Ryobi at home haha
Thanks for watching!!! 😁

I really respect that you addressed the drill breaking on you. That’s good of you
fantastic project! looks great and doable with just a few tools! classic modern builds
smells like circlejerk
CLASSIC!!
@@ModernBuilds I swear i just saw you in george janko video tell me I'm not crazy
nice work mike. You might want to consider adding some structural support. 2x4 on the flat won't carry the weight of an adult male and your couch will sag in weeks. Cheers!
Love your videos! You are an expiration
was thinking the same! Thank you Jeff
We’ll see 😜

Built using 2x4s during covid times... this thing is worth a fortune! Lol
Right? That stuff tripled in cost in my area!
$7 for one 2x4x96 in Texas as of 4-14-2021
I figured plenty of people would comment 😂
facts
@@Ulices84 $10.59 for a 2x4x8 as of Jun7th/2021
Wow! Water based simply finish, I’ll be on the lookout for this!
Another certified banger.
Thanks a ton!! gonna be big!
Big respect for being transparent on the Hart drill
This sofa is versatile. I can put it in the living room or outside. Nice work, man!!

you've upped your game with the camera skills big time! great job with the gimbal, bokeh, sunset shots, etc. The couch looks fantastic too ;)
Thanks a ton Mike!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼

Thanks a ton, you should go for it!!
Супер канал для вдохновения!
Классная уличная софа для загородного дома на террасу.
Been wood worker for decades you are inspiring
That couch now costs $14,000 due to lumber prices.
Fax
so true
Right?!
haha!! lumber was about $150, not bad but not as good as it would've been a while ago!
Add taxes: 19000😂😂😂
this thing already looks really nice!!! cant wait to try it out
You came a long way since I started watching your videos. You actually inspired me to get into woodworking. Congratulations on your successes.
Awesome work mike! That couch is dope!
Thanks brother!
This is some OG MoBuilds content, it gets the people goin 🙌🏼
Let's go!!
This reference to chris salomone was awesome, i would pay to see his reaction to that!! 🤣
We all must find our inner Chris Salomone 🤣
Yes and also I’d like to see his reaction 30 secs later when Mike loses his inner Chris again when attaching the sides and slathers the glue on like whipped cream on a sloppy cake. xD
sneaky!
Love love love love this!!!!!
Thansk a lot!!
Cool bro. Nice simple ideas. Keeping it basic so anyone can have a go but adding enough cool to make it.......cool
I'm totally going to go work at a Polywood company. Welcome to the new Plastic Revolution!
Congratulations Mike! Simply killinit 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks a million!! I'm trying to... we'll get there~
First and last 2x4 on the bottom cushion side could be sideways for a stronger frame. Really beautiful sofa! Good stuff!
I enjoy your videos as satisfying videos
Mike you continue to impress me over and over again. So cool watching you grow and build your empire.
Thans a million Chad!! I appreciate it brother!
that lift! makes it look the bomb!!
nice work as always!
Gotta say, pretty impressive work using just a circular saw!
Boom - more couches!
We appreciate the transparency and the non-sellout attitude of telling us that the hart drill battery burned up during this video. Thank you!!
We want more remodels man! I miss watching them they’re so awesome and satisfying
Thank you x
Beautiful look, and love the new cushions!!! Are you guys considering outdoor cushions in the future? Would loke to do a similar build for some outdoor seating.
Wow great job making this couch!
Look fantastic congratulations☺👍👏👏
My next project is a DIY outdoor sofa with 2x4 and i really like this design.
YES! The cushions are so hard to find, this is a brilliant idea.
A talented crew with nice looking designs...Good work...
Yup like that design! Imma give it a try
do it!! and send me a pic! I'd love to see
Gorgeous 😍😍😍
That is sofa king cool
Looks super nice, great work.
Yes to this! Great job 👏🏼
Thanks bro!
This is such a sick project and vid. That nature/sky transition was awesome.
Really nice job
Really like those side panels, great project!
Thanks a ton!! not bad for a simple technique
Been waiting for this one for a while brother!
me too!! this edit was a struggle but hopefully in came out good!
I missed these kinds of videos!
Me too!! lots more to come... finally I have a shop to build in!

Hi Jason,
Thanks dude! Cushion is made for indoor use :)
This looks awesome! Well done and thanks for sharing!
Thanks a lot, and Thanks for watching, I appreciate the support!

Looks great! Reminds me of a modern church pew. Ha hay
I'll take it! especially with the long single cushion!
Amazing project. Glad it came up.
Congrats on the Cushion Co! Top top!
Thanks a ton!!
Great looking project, Mike.
Thanks a lot 😁
You build like a PRO. I went to see you make a work Table. No need to work on the Floor. #STAYSAFE
I like working on the floor honestly, plus it is nice for filming.. easier to see what I'm doing
Good Item
Leeeeeeeetttsss goooooo 🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🎨🎨🎨🎨💫💫💫🏌🏾♂️
Congratulations on the new company. The couch is beautiful. You should build a side table. Have it connect to the side slats like a modular set up.
And would make a great storage couch. Just put one or two slide-out boxes underneath, and doors on the sides, using the interior as tiny shelves.
Hole saws are tough on drills. I use electric drills for multiple holes after burning up two battery drills making a giant connect 4 game.
Good Ideas 👍👍👍👍
Love it!
Congratulations on all the business!
Thanks a ton!!

Right on!! If you go for a project like this tag me in it!!! thanks Dave
I love seeing builds like this! Thanks so much for sharing. How many 2x4s does this build take to make?
I enjoy your channel
It has inspired me to start a woodworking channel
Love those panels man!! They could also make some great wall pieces if you alternate the direction! 😄
Nice piece. Cool to see you working in your totally tricked-out workshop, too.
