Here's a really easy park bench you can make in a weekend. I built it just using 2x4s and 1x3 lumber.

I'm a 53 year old retired Old Guy whose been into woodworking since I was 14 and I too have watched every video he's made and I continue to do so.His raw exuberance and love of wood working combined with his natural communication ability and presence is refreshing!! He's an incredible guy and I think you need to start working on some wood. :)
A few months ago I made your garden bench. I must say it turned out great for being my first project. I painted it with bright red oil based paint. It makes a world of difference. Thanks for the tutorial.
Today I made a chair version of the bench :-)
Can we see?! That sounds so cool!
Need a FB page or email to send you the pics. Unable to post on youtube. Thanks
Steve, I have made a bench for all my children, grandchildren and 2 for myself. Seven in all. I built another daughter a table/bench that I got plans for out of a magazine. Thank you for the video. One of my grand daughters painted her's to look like the Texas Flag.
Just built this 2 days ago. Used 2x3’s for the seat and back, but same measurements etc. awesome project for a beginner!! Thanks for the tips!
Yes thank you. Also I just want to say that your videos Are the sole reason I got into woodworking. And since collected tools And have built many of your projects. I recently started building some of my own ideas. Maybe when I acquire more woodworking skills I will send you my projects. I will say it has been hard with limited tools though. That's why I love your videos because you make them using the basic tools and skills. Once again thank you.
Generally speaking, it is simple but the idea is awesome! I strongly agree that every home also deserves a quiet, restful place to sit and enjoy the beauty they have created. Thanks for posting it! Now, comfort and relaxation is just few steps ahead of me.
Steve,
I took this up as my first woodworking project and I am excited by the end result. I used mortise and tenon joints for the sides and rails (not perfect, but strong enough) and 2.5" screws with free hand drilling not having a Kregg jig. Worked out just fine.
Thanks a million for sharing everything and explaining everything in a straightforward manner.
ok steve, thank you sooooo much i altered your bench and made my mom one for her birthday needless to say she was very pleased to have a bench made by her 14 year old son that looks increadable thank you, ~Isaiah Burgess
My wife and I just built one of these and gave it as a gift to our future daughter-in-law. It came out great. We stained it green to match her garden. Thinking of making some more.
I am interested in making a bench. I wanted to know how many 2X4's do I need, and 1X6's. Unfortunately, he didn't give all the measurements for the cut pieces I will have to figure that out.
Thanks
Wyanet Robinson Click on some links below his video. One is a pic of the measurements. Also at the start of his video he mentions how many 2x4s and 1x3s it'll take.
Yes! I wish I had done that!
Steve I am going to build two of those benches for my grand children. I would be using green heart lumber from Guyana. The lumber is very durable and it's going to last a long time thank you for the ideas.
Kreg does make some great stuff. That guide would have made my life easier on so many occasions. .
The Newfoundland Woodworker LOVE Kreg Tools - And nothing better than watching Steve Ramsey do his thing with the Kreg line. Great Job Steve! We love our Kreg Jig! Does it get any easier? Kreg certainly gets it right!
I think this video will inspire many benches. Traxman80 and endowell have said it best.
I just added a link in the description box for a picture with dimensions that should help.
Steve I love your projects, do you have a more in depth cut list and assembly instructions so we don't have to keep referring back to the video.
Found the dimensions for this bench . This bench is easy to build and turned out very nice. Good design.
Mind if I ask what size screws you used? I'm a complete beginner planning to give it a go...
@@thefrenchnanny2407 Gosh, it's been so long ago when I built it I really can't remember the screw sizes I used, but if you message Steve Ramsey (the builder in the video) regarding this particular bench project, I'm sure he'd gladly give you any, and all, information you'll need. Sorry I was of no help here. It really is a nice bench, and it sold quickly. Good luck, and have fun with this.
@@mulekickhandmadeguitars8465 Thank you for your kind reply Mike, it was a long shot!
@@thefrenchnanny2407 Are you still going to build the bench? You haven't given up on it, have you? I hope not.
I love how simple this is I'm 14 and I built one :)
Im gonna make one and im 16.yo
Hey Steve, my 1st real project, came out great !! Guess I'm now a MMW. !!!!!! Wife even likes it..........................
I watch your videos religiously! I love how they are short and to the point. I would love a tree house video! Please please please! Your help would be super appreciated here in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada!!!
I have followed your videos. You are very fun and has great competence in the things he does. Congratulations, you're a master in the use of wood and tools. You have served as an incentive for me to start working with wood. Here in Brazil we use various types of wood and with great quality. Thanks and a hug!
Good video. I'm tempted to make a scaled-down version for the kids.
Steve, I used your plan and built 2 benches for the wife. She's totally happy and got off my case about not having park benches in your backyard.
love the kreg jib got one for christmas and i built 2 end tables and a night stand style table with it i was amazed at how easy it is to use almost idiot proof
This is awesome. I can't wait to build this. It's the perfect excuse to buy that Kreg pocket hole jig.
Looks great Steve! I'd maybe cap the 2 arm rest sections with 1x material. Might make it a little more comfortable.
I recently bought the Kreg square cut... It was great. I used it to cut a 1"x10"x10' board. Made an easy job of it. I was always intimidated trying to get a straight cut with my circular saw.... Not anymore :)
I needed this video, but i WANTED a clever micro jig ad.
I built this. Very good bench. Very good video. Good job.
I like these limited tool videos. Handy handy!
Built one for $30! (Minus screws/stain/poly). I used dark walnut wood stain. Looks MUCH better than red barn paint.
I bought that square cut 3 years ago and love it, it even works for my jig saw when I'm too lazy to change saws because ripping with a circular saw still scares me lol.
i learnt a lot from you steve
thank you.
just got done with my bench. looks great
летом надо тоже себе такую сделать)) отличная скамейка...
WOW looks very nice
one advice - when you attach the back with the long clamp, if you start from the bottom then the 2x4s for the back will still have some play so you can easily fit the boards, and still can clamp each one when screwing. If you know what I mean.
Another great vid...:)...I needed a garden bench and now i know how to build one.
Thank for the great project Steve. I will be making this one soon.
Thank you Steve. I like your proyect very much. I`m in Mexico. Gracias me gustò mucho tu banco.
Steve, your videos have gotten much better but I do like the beard!
Steve I really like your videos. I am going to build at least one of the park benches.
I love my Kreg Jig, I use it all the time now.
It looks great. My only issue is that all the weight is only bring supported by the screws. There's nothing under the seat that directly supports the weight of the load other than the side legs of the bench.
Que buen trabajo quedo genial, felicitaciones Henry de Venezuela.
Fantastic Steve Ramsey! That is a great deal of improvement 😉. Cheers Buddy!
it's just a drill bit extension. You can do it with a 3inch or so extension but the longer ones make it much easier.
Super simple and easy.
Very nice, Thank you.
that saw guide is a real good idea
This is a winner, winner chicken dinner right here well done guy !
thanks steve i made one YOU ARE AWESOME
very nice job all the best john uk.
You can do this Chris. Just put extra sealant where legs contact the ground
I'm going to use your frame idea but use old fence panels in lieu of 1×3 for a rustic look.
Thanks
Love the way you work and your projects.Please if you have the plans for the bench will help. Thanks
You don't need clamps. Just determination and a strong grip.
It´s a great job!
You sir are a genius
thank you ilearn some more than i have , i dont have the same tools , it helps so much
I liked this project
Great video steve! Just wanted to know if you have a cut list and assembly for this project.
great video just finished building my bench just have to stain it thanks for the idea
Great vid and some cool tools. Thanks for sharing this!
Hi Steve, I know this is an old video but I'm curious whether you remember if you had enough wood leftover you could have used to make arm rests on the bench. Flat ones you could screw on top of the existing frame I mean
What length of 2 x 4 and 1x 3 do you need in total?
very nice Steve!
Great tutorial! I don't like the paint you used though, but the bench is mint.
awesome bro
very nice.
Simple way to make that last a little longer is any surface that has the grain UPRIGHT..facing the sky (end wood), just put a board on it. That keeps the rain from soaking into the core of the wood. Nice Bench. I do think I would have painted or stained it before assembly..and wouldn't that have looked great stained with spar varnish? Yea, I know you like paint.
I'd like to see you build a picnic table. That's one of my next projects and I'd like to see your take on it. :-)
Your good man. I would like to do this..
thank u it is a great work
Love it, will try making one next. How about some help making a picnic table and bench?
thanks for your reply keep up the good work😀
Olá Steve sou seu fã parabéns vcs tem muitos recursos p\ trabalhar e tudo fica perfeito \0/ \0/
GREAT SIR, YOU ARE MY TEACHER...
Очень просто и понятно попробую так же сделать!
Great video. I think I will try it. Would have been nice to give dimensions though.
Hi Steve! I love your projects and the way you easily explain every single step! Thank you super very much!!! :) Quick question on this bench (I’m making it today!): how would you join the pieces without pocket holes? Unfortunately I don’t have the tool and I was looking for an alternative (easy) option that would ensure durability. I wish you a wonderful Sunday!
I thought to myself: I wish I lived in america, then I could understand you´r video´s much better!
great bench but i would like to see a wider arm rest in each side.maybe a fence board size would do. Just my thoughts. Thanks
What would be the weight limit on a bench like this??
Good job
Please I want to know : How u use a drill bit with same size of bolt head?
I mean How can the bolt tights in this case?
I was just working on this bench and discovered that the cutlist that was shared isn't correct.
It indicates 7 - 1'1" on a 2 x 4. 2 are the arms and 2 are the supports below the arms, leaving the 3 seat supports which are more than 1'1". Also the front uprights that are 34" inch Steves picture are only 32" in the cutlist
you are creative
love your vids
Question, why do you wait until after you build the bench to stain or paint it? Is that your preferred method or how you just ended up doing it? Thanks.
thank you so much don't have a lot of tools but now I can build this thanks do you know the measurements??
I liked it a lot, but I wouldn't paint over. I would sand it all and then apply some venneer.
Steve, i built the garden bench it was super easy and it gave my an idea for a deck bench but it uses your basic design. Do you mind if on my you tube video i direct people to your videos to get some of the dimensions that i may not post?
Hey, that's awesome!! Great how-to!
Is the Kreg Jig absolutely necessary to complete projects like these?
Steve i wanna let you know i started building the bench today according the the cut list on your website and i ran into a problem where it says 7 13" pieces there should ne 4 13" pieces for the arm rests and the seat pieces and the 3 cross pieces came out to 17" for me but everything else was fine! Gotta pick up another 2x4 so i can finish up!
Awesome thanks! I'm gonna give this one a go :)
steve youarethbest
It was much nicer without the stain but at least it will not rot away. Nice project! How are the pocket hole joints holding, do they work themselves lose over time?
Maybe you should have only dry screwed those stripes for the seat, the glue won't allow them to expand and contract seasonly..
My opinion.
Sorry about that. I've added a diagram in the description.
Finally got my Kreg jig, Gonna make this bench this week end. I often wonder why you didnt round over the edges of the exposed edges of the 1X3.
