I am a beginner to woodwork, the main test I have with this bundle th-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt is that I think that its hard to settle on a choice of the plan and outline to use as there are a large portion of them there. Nonetheless, I like the simple stride to step directions laid out there.
Great stuff. A few hints for those of you who try this one... put strips of paper between the metal and the wood, as a shim, before tack welding (maybe 2-3 ply) so that after you tap the metal frame out to finish weld, you get rid of the paper and the finished part will very easily slip back into place without damaging the stained wood surfaces. Also, while he was proving a point that the job could be done much cheaper than store bought, if you are going to the trouble to build this yourself, splurge on some good, clear, kiln dried lumber. the finished product will look SOOOO much better. The grain will POP and you will never have to worry about splitting or warping. I built something very similar about 20 years ago and learned those two key mistakes. I've since replicated the furniture a few times for family/friends and it's all still perfect to this day. Thanks for the great video!!!
I am a structural welder by trade and I would encourage you to not tack this up inside the frame. He has a welding table so he could have fixtured it up with and clamped it into shape.
Step 1. With Soapstone draw out the interior of the leg. Step 2. Take left over material and clamp it down to make a border of your traced soap stone lines. Step 3 drop material in. Step 4 use toggle clamps to push up agains your outer braces. Step 5, weld out the frame. I would have probably also from a design stand point made a cross instead of putting 2 45's in there.
But yeah I absolutely do not like welding around semi finished parts of my wood working projects because you always spend more time cleaning them back up then you would if you just made some simple fixtures on your bench.
Thanks
Would love to try this but I don't have all those tools. And don't want to spend 10k on a patio set.
@jonathananson8101 It's honestly not that hard to build with basic tools. Just requires a little patience. Best advice I could give would be to spend a little extra on good, straight, kiln dried wood. Then find your cushions so you can make your dimensional drawings around them. Even if you had to buy all the tools to build this, you are under $1k, minus a welder. So you end up with a cool custom set of furniture that fits your needs perfectly, for a heck of a savings.
My toxic trait is thinking I could build something half as nice as this with none of the wood working tools you have. Great job man!
Your toxic trait is using the word "toxic"
@@gw6667 ok buddy
@@roknboker ok gen z loser. Get a job
@@gw6667 chill boomer
Yeah....the tools are needed
I love this new format of video...minus the excessive memes, I feel like sound effects inplace of some memes would have a similar effect without being overdone
Too bad he didnt ask your opinion.....
Yeah man there are way too many cutaways to stupid ass clips.
@@joshuawebster4272 you sound like someone who doesn't take constructive criticism well at all if you're defending a stranger from constructive criticism
I didn’t see any memes. Lots of movie clips and cartoons. No memes.
No, it sucks
Leave the excessive memes bro, you doing Just fine without. Keep up the good work!! #sweat & courage.
Max one meme per every 4 minutes of video.
Yea, no joke. Not only the memes, but it seems like the banter has also gotten so way over the top and obnoxious. As soon as he stops to talk I'm starting to skip ahead. Tone it down.
Agreed
Agreed
Agree!
As someone who has also built patio furniture out of a softwood (pine), it would be a good idea to put some sort of plastic slider or bumper on the bottoms of the chair legs to keep them from scuffing when you move the furniture around. With heavy chairs like those, you'll probably push them around a little and as soon as the sealant gets damaged, you'll get water intrusion and degradation of the wood.
Good idea
Are we watching a video about putting things together? Cuz you nailed it. :)
Matt, this build could have been a lesson in not being afraid to learn to do something right. Makers like Mr. B have a great enthusiasm for WW & they show us time & time again that they are not afraid of new challenges. Great.
I just wish they would use, the many resources available on the science, art & craft of woodworking. Then viewers would learn from that example and be better prepared to trust the information they get on this channel.
A quick glimpse at the comments, and I learned that there was a right way to do the welding, better lumber choices etc. etc.
I am replying to YOUR comment because the "bad choice" you noticed; would have taken less than 10 dollars to fix. Not adding feet of some kind WILL, at some point, be detrimental to the build. And, lastly, a little project research, here on TH-cam, & he'd know not to have the wood sitting on the wet ground, where it will constantly wick up moisture, or directly on the concrete, where it will sit in pools of water after rain.
TH-cam can be an excellent resource, with education and information served up with entertainment and easy to consume. Not just channels by professional woodworkers like Jon Peter's and Semi- Pros like Steve Rhamsy, but also established channels from DIY'ers like DIY creator & Anna White. I actually just watched a video on JP's channel & he did not mention any leg protection; however, you could see them in the video, and he added in the video description that he "forgot to mention in the video....I did add nylon domes to the bottom of the legs."
Anyhow, I appreciate channels wanting to be original and viewers often enjoy the charm of mistakes. I also appreciate how much time, work and energy must go into producing these videos (i could never do it). I just want a little time in for researching tasks that are new for them. That way, they won't develop bad habits or teach them to their viewers.
I hope Mr B. knows how lucky he is to have fans that love his style, but are also honest with him about his welding, wood choice, screw choices etc. With 3 quarters of a million subscribed, he must be doing something right. For me, if i didn't enjoy watching and want his channel to grow, i wouldn't have bothered with this, my hopefully constructive criticism.
Thanks Matt, for reminding everyone to use sliders/bumpers/feet. ~ ♿Lisa🛠
@@geolisadrag-racing2349 this Mr B is just an entertainer. (period)
Nobody noticed that it was sitting on a carpet?
Nice Build Alex. The house is really coming along. Cheers!
That's how you know you've made it on youtube, when the Home Reno guy comments on your video lol
Thanks Jeff
@@KeimpieceCarpentry def. Jeff is awesome
I love it! Another option for no weld is during the glue up of the sides, drill for round tubing and just let the frame hold the steal tube. Still will get the rigidity needed (assuming the holes are drilled with minimum tolerance) and you don’t need any welder to get the steel look. Great work!
Wow, the sofa set looks amazing! Flextastic job! 😎💪
How's the flexseal guy doing these days?
Flexseal is that really you 🤩
You make all your projects look so easy to do. Thank for the inspiration as always.
Great video. You really can see a difference in your videos when you take the time to plan and prepare.
Love ur videos and happy to see ur trying a new style ur literally killing the game on "building yt"!! A little constructive criticism, u had a great style before; it was u and it was unique. This feels more like the "vloggy niestat" vibe and it doesn't feel as authentically you. Either way, ur killing it and imma keep watching every video u put out!
Agree, all the cuts to "memes" ruin the flow and doesn't fit imo. Def preferred the older style but I do enjoy the faster pace
Came to the comments to see who said it first , this guys said it best. Please less meme clips. But love the content and the podcast !
I'm wondering if he got a new editor... the meme cuts definitely felt off brand and not needed.
Not really memes. They’re cartoons. And tiresome. I guess he’s trying to add more entertainment?
Came to the comments to say this. Hopefully takes the feedback on board, I enjoy this channel but more of that will get tedious fast
Would be nice to get plans for this build.
Your videos are entertaining enough to where you don’t need to put the memes. We like you for you…you don’t need to add anything extra. Makes it feel less authentic. I think I counted almost 15 memes in the first ten minutes of the video. Still a great video though. Keep killing it!
Great work man!! When it comes to furniture anything my father can build, as a kid I literally didn’t know how valuable this skill is now I’m learning from my dad, but I wish I started sooner.
I love the energy and getting straight to it
dude, wtf is with the direction of over-engineering the content these days?
Cool video, but WAY too many memes dude.
No such thing as too many
It's awful😐
Agreed way too many
Yea I like some but it’s overkill sometimes
Couldn’t even finish the video because it was over kill.. made it 6 min
Love it! Simple and elegant!
Really entertaining to watch these builds. Good work.
Pretty fair work. If you have a domino joiner you may want to use it a bit more. Those pocket holes are a tad unsightly. Doing all your joints with the domino would make it look that much better. Additionally screw heads used to attach the metal . . . give them a spray of primer and back paint.
The 10k version probably was teak or acacia, or possibly white oak. But you probably could have done that for $1500. Great build nice video. Well done
Bro, 1500 just for the lumber in Acacia, if we are talking genuine southeast Asian Teak add another 1k to that
Or ipé , cumura hardwood
the link said it was teak, which is very expensive lumber
The dowel through the mitered joint is an idea I never thought of but totally want to try. Would look really nice when it's finished, especially if you use a contrasting wood as an accent.
Mistakes DO make us better! Thank you for keeping this in your final edit. It is nice to know that we are all human.....
Why would you use Dominoes for the arms then go and poke holes with pocket holes on the back and bottom where water will definitely sit once wet? I'd recommend you fill those pockets
i was thinking the same thing
Agree!!
I was wondering that that too. Could have dominoed all that instead of using pocket holes.
My question exactly. If a couple of people sit on those pocket holes it’s likely to break
Big chunk of that savings is not using Teak
I love your attitude! Your videos are fun and you don't seem to stress about the dumb stuff. I feel most people have to adjust and make compromises with their projects, and you showcase that very well.
something i learned from another channel about fall and leaves, is it actually helps the small critters during winter to keep the leaves on the ground until spring. these little critters depend on winter ground cover to survive.
Great job. All I could say is maybe it would've saved time to get 4x4's vs. having to plane and re-palne the 2x4's etc. This is an overall amazing job. You should be proud!
I was thinking that same thing. The 4x4s also tend to be better quality wood and more dry than the 2x4s in our local hardware stores.
After investing thousands of dollars for tools and tons of time, I can build outdoor sofa set like this for $580, I love it.
JK
Video is great and enthusiastic, like the editing and energy. Keep it going!
Hey man keep up the good job! You are an inspiration to any homeowner.
Great video, liking the clip inserts! It very helpful and enjoyable to watch… can’t wait for the next vid.
Great build! I want to build my own set right now😃 Sorry to say, to many memes and transitions/references to movies/series
Great build. Any chance you have the dimensions. Would love to give this a shot myself.
I know it adds a step or two, and I'm sure some cost, but larger beams, either 2x8 or 2x1 and up, have more strict knot standards, so you can find clearer material and rip it down if you want. Doug Fir is a great outdoor wood choice anyway!
Great job, backyard looks awesome.
You had me at "pocket heldeded". Loved this video. Really good. Just one suggestion. When your wife agrees to you spending $1000 and you only end up spending $500, you buy tools until you reach the original price. Just something I have learned after 30+ years of marriage.
Brilliant!!! ⭐🌟🤩
😂 great tip
LOL or hit up happy hour with the fellas!
OMG I'm so happy I'm not in a relationship like that. Does she also make you wear a leash?
@@MrTresto Well that insult just came out of nowhere, so I will play your little game. I doubt you are in a relationship with a female of any sorts. Well just to clarify, it was a joke. You do understand what those are, right?
Good build and great video. One question why didn’t you fill the pocket screw holes with a dowels and saw the end off?
u r getting better n better!!! thanks for share all this with us. thanks a lot. n god bless u back.
Amazing, love watching these builds! I'd really like to see the approx cost of the tools used in the price breakdown at the ends of the videos as well! ... it would really give it some perspective.
Love the outcome, not a fan at all of the faster pace and too many memes! I like the old style better too, still I ll try to make those chairs looks really cool.
Dude, I appreciate you not always using the Festool, but all those visible pocket holes are killing me. Yes I know there will be cushion, but I'm sure the $10,000 set wont have pocket holes.
Or at least put all the pocket holes in the back, if you are not going to plug them
So many pocket holes for having a festool domino set up.
@@chabib23 i was thinking the same thing, well, there were pocket holes back to back, Unnecessary.
Sweet build... awesome job 👍 know you know you can save money by building it yourself. Turned out great.
Great outdoor furniture. Congrats on your bundle of joy!
Thank you
Too many cutaways to memes
One thing I would do different is either use black screws holding the metal frame down or spray paint them black. Silver sticks out like a sore thumb. Other than excellent build. Very professional looking.
I was thinking of those older kind of black screws that you need a flathead to tighten them with.
I totally agree. That was the first thing I said when project was done.
Hola! 🖐I like this set very much, it looks really nice in your patio!👌Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊
By far your best build. Loved to see the jointer, planer and domino joiner make an appearance!
$600 sofa with $15k worth of tools. Love the energy and the end results.
Wish I had some of your tools…
Who spends 15k on Roybi tools?
@@jeffdasher5136 tons of non-ryobi tools used here, and he said the joiner tool he was using was $1000 alone...
The $10k set used teak wood, which is probably a lot of the markup. You might not even be able to find teak out where you are, so the pine you used is a good alternative especially if you take the steps to make sure it will hold up outside like you did. And for those that can find teak, just be careful because teak is hard as hell. If you don't have the high quality tools to work with it, it will just destroy your stuff. Teak has silica in it, which is like glass, which is why it's so hard and so hard to work with.
All wood has silica, teak has a lot of silica.
Cedar would’ve been another good option but also the $10,000 set took into account the labor and overhead costs to make it.
@@TheFishingFL Includes research and design too. So he's smart to find something someone already designed and then rip it off. I'm not creative at all. But I can look at someone else's design of a piece of furniture and replicate it pretty well.
Sapele is also a great option for outdoor furniture. Gets a really nice patina to it too when left unsealed in the elements
great video, love the furniture!! stoked ... Btw I had the same issue with my f-250 tailgate always sticking put some WD-40 and it'll be like brand new
Great build. I wanted to do the same with a set I found that was also $10k. For the pocket holes next time you can glue a dowel in the holes, cut and sand them smooth. Then you can stain it and be barely noticeable.
hahahahahahahaha barely noticeable. Are you a framer or plumber?
Hey man! your title for the video says $850 instead of $580! Hope I could help you catch it!
I don’t think the budget is right….he first said he bought like $160 @:40 in lumber and that it wasn’t enough
I love the videos but with not so many meme's in the middle....
True, it’s to much
Yah a few is fine but this was excessive
I saw this comment before I watched and decided to count. It was 19. I agree way too many
Agreed - great content otherwise. Will be taking inspiration for my patio furniture build!
I agree, this trend was funny for a while but it’s over stayed its welcome.
I’m glad I found your channel, love your personality and craftsmanship
I had to repurposed pallet boards into outdoor patio due to the costs of outdoor patio prices. Its insane. Great build.
My friend., easy with the memes , too much
Whitewood outdoor furniture 😂
Agreed. The huge durability difference warrants the price of cypress.
Great video, I don’t personally mind the movie clip references I think they’re great. That being said you could have but the finishing touches on this more, plugging pocket holes and matching the hardware that attaches the black metal or even countersinking those screws. Also you kind of glossed over how you attached the sides to the backrest. It looks like you put a block there, which I can’t imagine being strong enough for the couch. Anyways keep up the good work.
Very nice! Congrats!
Way too many memes
Problem with this is it isn’t a 1 to 1 comparison… purchase the teak hardwood that the comparable chair was made from instead of pine and your going to have a few thousand dollars spent on wood.
Awesome! Well done.
the hype is epic bro!!! i have it and need to start making videos because you make it fun to learn this stuff!!! keep them coming man awesome video
The memes and cut outs are way over done and annoying tbh. Takes away from your video
I really enjoy the videos. Glad I'm not the only one thinking of the excessive memes and cuts. I really enjoyed the old content. I had to stop watching at 4 minutes though. I'll try again later.
I like your energy dude, great job... I'll definitely be watching more of your vids
Great job! They look awesome. My guess is the furniture on Wayfair is likely a hardwood, maybe cedar, and rather than pocket holes, they may have used mortise and tenon where possible. This would explain an increase in value, but still wouldn’t make the $10k price reasonable. $10k for the Wayfair set is ridiculous!
Unfortunately, I live in Southern California and, where I’m located the big box stores carry garbage pine lumber that’s very green and really only good for framing. If I built your project, it wouldn’t look as nice as yours, as mine would have a lot of knots everywhere and start twisting on me if I wait too long to build something.
Cool build but the amount of memes was way too excessive
False, he needs MORE memes. You just don’t get it, boomer
To many movie clips in the video
Nice looking orange furniture!
Awesome job sir looks great..👍
Looks awesome!
I liked the WHOLE video jokes and lessons in all. Definitely entertaining and kept me engaged the entire time
Just show us the build, it's what we're here for. Stop al the editing and memes, really breaking the video.
Yea.. it's unwatchable. It's annoying.
Try a little humor. Don't be so impatient you'll get a better outcome in life.
Relaaaaax!
@@scottloutner5253 💯💯💯
I'm not usually a fan, but I enjoy this edit. Maybe one or two less would suffice..
@@BuzzingGoober It must be required to become recommended as a YT "woodworker". They need the focus to be on the "actor" trying to be funny the entire video (obviously they never are) & they need to constantly cut/edit annoying clips throughout in order to hide the lack of actual woodworking skills.
not misleading at all forgetting to mention the thousands of dollars of woodworking equipment lol
You could buy thousands of dollars in tools just to build this furniture set and still come out way ahead... not to mention you now have thousands of dollars in tools that are essentially "payed off" now.
@@mitchellodom6746 dude his one tool he used to make the holes is $1,000... youre dreaming if you think you can buy these tools he used for under 10k
@@guitar911rock nobody is making you use a domino tool lol, you could easily make this with a few basic power tools... also could spend a little more on higher quality lumber to avoid having to do all the work he did at the beginning
@@guitar911rock you can easily make the all wood version he mentioned with way less tools and even if you wan the metal version you can still get only the tools necessary for well under 10k. Maybe you haven't built much or just like watching the videos but you can make something very similar, if not exact using different tools. Also Domino Joiner isn't necessary if that's the $1000 tool you're talking about.
@@guitar911rock Just spent a few minutes looking up the main tools he used for you.
jointer: $800
Miter Saw: $330
Planer: $500
Domino: $1000
Total: $2630
Last time I checked that's less than 10k. You also don't need any of those tools to make this. Even if you insisted on welding, you could buy one for 500-2000 and still come out ahead.
Great build and great video. Nuts how the cushions were one of the most expensive parts of the build.
love the video man. thanks
Great video and very inspirational. I like to tackle this project and immediately gave up after seeing only a Ryobi drill in my toolbox. lolz
LOL!
Awesome stuff 👏🏾 👌🏾 👍🏾
Looks amazing! You should build another three seater for the other side.
I'm inspired. great work
Excellent work
This video was jacked up on Mountain Dew haha. Here lately all of the video clips added on and just being goofier. Always liked your videos this was comically beautiful hahah
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!that is so stunning man I love it wow🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
U do great work.... Awesome channel!!
I come for the wood projects, but definitely stay for the 90s pop culture references. Great video, "it's perfect"
The Viper building furniture... Im all for it! 😂
I luv my pocketheldeded jig 🤣😂🤣 Nice work mate!
Looks great
Great build and a nice channel. Quite talented!
Amazing thank you ❤🎉😊
You went 3 times out for shopping 😆 i can feel it 🤣
Bro I’m a first time viewer and dammmmn your video was entertaining! Build turned out beautiful. Curious about that Flex seal and how it holds up... never used it before. Imma spar urethane dude. Great work!
Nice work!
Curious to know how the rubber coating hods up, seems like it would be be easily scratched or dogged into with your finger Nail and removed and the protection wouldn’t hold up in those areas
Love this build!! Crazy how much they charge for outdoor seating.
gotta love the bicep pop at the very end
First video i've seen, man i tried not to like it but this guy is dope. Excellent work and almost too entertaining for woodworking.
Love your videos, you’re fun to watch you don’t need all the memes
