    Watched absolutely 100s of how to build garden bench on TH-cam unfortunately most of them was not useful and the rest unclear or complicated , but the way you have explained it’s amazing, very easy , clear and smart.
    Thank you 🙏

    I built this today, turned out great. I used my table saw and a taper jig to cut the tapers, no sanding no planing.

    Thanks for your video. I used the same design except changed the Arm rest , seat and back boards to 5/4 deck boards. I also increased the width from 48 in to 54 inches (the back rest 51In) and finally made the top back board the same length as the seat boards so it extends a bit and then rounded it off. Looks great and was easy to build. Thanks again.

    I just finished making this bench. It took me about 5 hours, but that was because I kept coming back to the video to make sure I was doing it right. I'll make a couple more, and then make a few chairs by shortening the 48" boards to 26" or so. I did all the straight cuts with a chop saw, and the backrest and arm cuts with a jig saw. A band saw would make it easier, but really, you could do this project just fine with hand saws and sandpaper. This is the first DIY video I've ever seen that explained everything so well that I never had one minute of confusion. I wrote down the measurements, and all the steps as I did them, so now I have a written building plan in case I forget how to do something. Thank you for this video. I love the bench, even if it takes two men and boy to lift it. :)

I retired 10 years ago and went in the hospital for a life saving operation .... then ANOTHER !!! I'm to much of an old War Horse to give up. I build things and sell them CHEAP. I like the idea of giving back for all the things people have done for me over the years .... makes an old man feel useful again !! Take care !! Thanks again.

    Well Sir , today April 28 2019, I made a bench using your plan and it came out very good. All the measurements were accurate, Thank you. Now on the back rest I would extend about three inches on both sides on the top two pieces. I just completed mine and my daughter is asking me to make her one . Wow, I thank you for your time and your encouragements in making me so useful. Edward. God Bless.

Thanks again for your ideas and imfo .RD

  • @mulekickhandmadeguitars8465
    @mulekickhandmadeguitars8465 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just finished building this bench yesterday and found it very easy to build when I watched the video and took down all the measurements. The result is a very nice, very sturdy bench. Nearly anyone could build this with a minimum of power tools. The buy-list and cut-list are quite accurate. Hardly any waste or scrap wood left over. Cost me $40.18 for the pine lumber I bought at Home Depot. If you're not an expert woodworker, and you don't have a lot of money, don't be afraid to tackle this project.

    Made one of these today, thank you so much for a detailed and easy to construct solid bench. One thing I found was that the cross braces for the legs should have been 23 1/2" an not 23" so I have a bit of an overlap. May be due to the slightly different timber sizes in the UK....but I can live with that..

    Nice bench I like the fact that they are heavy they will stay put and wear better being that they are beefy. I made two benches some what like this years ago. I did notice the feet started to rot after 5 years due to the end grain was touching the ground. My fix for that was 5/8 decking boards cut in style like a coaster attached it to the feet as sacrificial boards that could be replaced. I cut each leg about a inch then added the coaster board to the end. Great project

    • @SoatMon

    I really like this design. I think I'll make one :) Need to customize it a bit, because I live in the netherlands and we have a bit different standard sizes for the wood :)

    And thank you for showing! Might go for this. So much easier than your official public bench though sits less of the population!

    I had some scrap wood and your video was the first one I found that looked easy enough to build. The bench turned out great! The one change I would make is to extend the length of the legs to maybe 25" to raise the arms up a bit. Again, this was super simple and a heavy duty bench to add to my yard! Thank you!

    • @SoatMon
      @SoatMon  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      You're very welcome. Thanks for telling me that you built one. You must be tall. I would like the arms higher also but it fits my wife and the kids perfect. Thanks for the comment.

  • @jeremyhenderson4899
    @jeremyhenderson4899 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Love the bench - thanks for making the video! What type of wood is best for outdoor use? Do you use a sealant?

    • @SoatMon
      @SoatMon  7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I used pressure treated pine because it is cheap and lasts a long time. I do not use a sealer but you could. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!

    Built one last weekend, I did a little bit of modification, my wife and I are both over 6ft so I made it higher. I compared to a camping chair for desired height. We are sitting at 20in so I made the legs 28in high. I might do even higher next bench as we like a higher arm rest too but easy enough to put a couple 2x4's under the arm rest to raise it. I also made it 12 in wider (60in vs 48in) by using 2x6x10's for seat/back instead of 2x6x8 (and one 2x4x10) and added a short 2x4 to the base middle to prevent sag. turned out wonderful, very nice plan. I will probably build a couple more. I might see if I can find a way to angle the seat slightly, I find a flat bench a little more uncomfortable vs one that has a slight decline towards the back.

    Thanks Soat Mon. Nearly finished my bench. I've used the 2 x 4 wood for arms, seating slats, back slats instead of 2 x 6 and I've never done any woodworking before. Have you made any round tables? Would be great to see.

    • @SoatMon

  • @dougsummers8095

    Great video. I may have missed it but when you mark the back brace which piece of stock are you using? I assume 25" pieces vs the 21 1/2"?? Thanks.

    • @SoatMon
      @SoatMon  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's the 21 1/2 inch piece. Thanks for watching!

  • @sal1964

    The 14 1/2 is that to the top or bottom of the 2x4 ?

    I just made one and it was pretty easy with your drawings and the video. I was wondering if 1X6 would work instead of the 2X6?

    • @SoatMon
      @SoatMon  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It probably would but you might have to reinforce the seat depending on how bendy the 1x6s are. Thanks for letting me know you built one.

    Just finished mine, had lots of spare wood from a garage build, took me two hours to cut and build bench, very easy instructions, i made mine slightly longer to fit 3 people and included centre rails to combat bending.

    • @SoatMon

      It's called a hook rule. I got that one from Grizzly but I don't think they still sell that exact one.

    • @jackjanssendc1241
      @jackjanssendc1241 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have built 3 of these and no middle bracing is required...unless the 'sitter is like 400+# ! As designed, it is very sturdy. Have fun!!

  • @Jaricks
    @Jaricks 3 ปีที่แล้ว
