Hat and coat stand appearances warm the heart
That is 100% teak! I can normally tell it apart from Iroko by the end grain. As a boatbuilder I use both 😀 nice find !!
Keith!! The bench turned out fantas”teak”!!!🤪🤪🤪
Amazing beauty!
I wish I had that in my garden. You did a great job on making that better than the original seat. Well done!
Thanks
Lovely bench that.
Looks great!
Thank you!
Nice work fella!
Thank you!
What a lovely build! Well done.
Good find mate.
Beautifully done. Quite a save!
Absolutely beautiful build! Well done (as always).
Fantastic job as always
What a great piece of work. Great stuff 👍🏼
The bench is simply beautiful! I bet that your parents are going to love it!
Thanks for sharing this video with us.
what a lovely bench and gift ❤
Absolutely brilliant!
Very nice! Great to see the hat and coat stands still coming in handy :)
This a perfect demonstration of your unique ability in TH-cam woodworking. Where others are using all new material, what you can achieve with salvaged materials is remarkable. And much more relatable, well it certainly is to me. I salvaged my grandmothers old mahogany headboard and made it into a window board to match by office desk! Great video, thanks very much.
Thank you very much 😁
Great build! Really like the bevels on the inner slats!
Amazing transformation.
Wow that grain pop when the teak oil was applied is insane! So pretty!!
that came out super nice! good job Keith.
fantastic work keith
Looks great 👏👏👏
Beautiful !!
That is one beautiful garden bench! What a lovely gift for your parents.
Cracking job👌🏻
That’s a stunning looking bench! It’ll last ages as well. I was surprised how good the stain looked. Well done.
What a beautiful bench you’ve made. That wood is spectacular. And a great redesign of the frame. I sure admire your wood collection.
I remember the coat stands! All the pieces of wood you used looked great, always love the reclaim projects
Wow! The finish on that wood is beautiful. Nice work, you’re a good son.
Very nice. Well done.
Absolutely awesome, the stuff you're doing, recycling stuff. I do the same (though on a smaller scale, I don't have a workshop (yet)). Am in the process of building a small greenhouse out of old door frames, doors and windows. So satisfying..
One thing that would add awesomeness, in my opinion, would be to use mortise & tenon joints. They are not hard to master, with a sharp chisel and tenon saw I'm sure this is a skill you master in no time. It would add to the character of the end piece, even if you can't see the dominos or tenons (if not through tenons).
Personal preference though, keep up the good stuff :)
Cracking find, and super build too.
Thank you!
Very nice bench Keith and I have to say I haven't the foggiest idea of the timber but the finished article leaves it looking super.
Great video mate 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice work. What an amazing find! Iroko or Teak, it looks great once it's revived!👍🏻
Great job! You seem to have every tool in the world too! I can only dream
Really liked what you did with this project Keith. Cheers Rob - Brisbane Aus 👍
Great build. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you
Good job , I’m from Ottawa il and I watch over the years the progress that you’ve made,
Again great job
The hat and coat stands- yeah!!!! I didn't realize how much I missed them until seeing them again.
Nicely done Keith.
Cheers Chem
It turned out very nice keith 👌
Wow that bench came out amazing!
Thank you
Teak! And almost as good, the hat and coat stands making another appearance! Great build, enjoyed this a lot.
Some brass or bronze hardware on this would look incredible! Nice Job Keith!
Hat and coat stand posse represent !!1!1 Or something... Great job as always Keith! 🙂
Thank you!
I thoroughly enjoyed that Keith. You do superb build videos. Your enthusiasm pervades that whole vid. Top drawer 👍
Thank you!
Completely loved that video Keith from start to finish. You at your absolute best 😀😀👍👍
Cheers Leo, much appreciated
That is one good looking bench. Well done
Thanks Peter
Haha..love the hoodie alteration. The bench is fantastic Keith and looks like it will last for years and years. 👏🏼🌟
Thank you Mandy! ♥️
That lumber is beautiful and I would like all my furniture in that stain color👍🏻
Lovely, I’ve done a few bits in Teak in the past. Very easy to work with! We’ll done.
Hi Keith, really enjoyed the build and really liked the bits to camera rather than just the voice over. Great as always.
Really enjoyed this bench build, and also enjoyed your collaboration video earlier with Proper DIY 👍
Thank you!
Great video as ever . I refurbished a hammer recently. Replaced shaft and head good as new 👌 😁
by eck thats champion ! only just found your channel thanks to Proper DIY , instantly subscribed.
Thank you!
Fabulous work, Keith, and a great way to give a new lease of life to a bench that was heading for the skip in lesser hands. I can see why you were reluctant to let it go at the end 😀👍
Thank you Eddy
Beautiful bench, Keith! Really fantastic work! 😃
Old wood is always more beautiful, I don't know why.
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you!
That’s flipping, see what I did there 😂, lovely. Very nice job. Stay safe x
Pretty sure that's teak, Keith! I recently fixed my teak garden table (new steel legs, freshened up the wood by planing it down, giving it a nice coat of teak oil) and I remeber the smell of teak when you work with it, it;s pretty nice. Also the fresh look after planing: just like your boards.
Was working with iroko today making some floating shelves and it definitely looks like teak you’re using. The face grain in iroko looks very different to the grain in the teak you’re using
For getting the dominos aligned, you could've rotated the domino machine 90 degrees, using its fence for the height of the domino. If you want a little offset, you can use a piece of scrap between your workpiece and the domino machine.
Great looking bench. I think we need a commemorative video for the hat and coat stand wood when its used up!
😁👍
Very nice bench. Love the colour. As far as the teak, if you want to confirm it is 'teak teak', check the edges of any tool you used that isn't carbide. Teak has a high silica content and will take the edge of any plane or chisel in minutes. It's a lovely wood to work with but it is hard on non-carbide tools.
Nice to see the hat and coat stands.
Nice project Keith, made even better with the hat and coat stand making an appearance! As I watched I thought that your extra long vice jaws were really coming into their own with holding big pieces for planing, and unlike previous videos you seemed much more comfortable with using the router now. Nice job
Thank you!
Great project, Keith. In the US, finding teak is like winning the lottery.
Love it! (I actually cheered at 6:11!)
😁👍
Behind the barn I have stored some really flimsy ship-deck-style teak chairs, a too thin-boarded bench and a good garden table ... all in teak. Got them all for €40 yrs ago. You inspired me to finally get my grip together and do a Keith-transform!
Thank you
Just watched your cast garden bench revamp video, here us mine
A beautiful piece of joinery Keith and the video itself felt like 'chatting with a mate in his workshop', sweet. I think your brain wasn't writing poetry, it was composing lyrics. A magnum opus entitled, 'the woodworker's blues' perhaps?
😁👍
I can't belive you still have more of those hat and coat stands! How many years has it been? Great build. Thanks for sharing.
Keith, wet/moisten the joint surfaces when using polyurethane adhesive. You’ll get better adhesion and stronger joints. Truth.
Yes definitely Teak. End grain and even smell. Teak can be quite light in colour when cut and goes darker overnight.
Like from Brazil
I'm convinced you're just making those hat and coat stands.
😂
I have to admit I really miss working with teak. I remember years ago making £14,000 teak worktops and the client wanted them more orange so I put them out in the sun for a bit 😂. I can't imagine what they would be worth now! The only teak that I have now is a chopping board that I made a few years back. I miss the smell of it when sanding it.
For snapped screws like that, drill round them with a plug cutter.
Do you use a plug cutter in a normal drill or in a drill press? I tried a few times in a normal hand held drill but was not successful with that. The plug cutter wandered everywhere.
The little flex with the garage door haha
👏👏👏 . I think it's teak
I once chatted to a very experienced joiner and he once needed to replace some windows on his house at a time when he was pretty broke. he had some sycamore in storage so he used that and treated it to hell and thought with regular maintenance he might get decent life span out of those windows. proved not to be the case at all he was replacing those windows within about 10 yrs. so morale of the story is the treatment doesn't radically change the nature of timber and its properties. so I think definitely treating will improve the life time but probably nothing like equalizing it to the teak. (sapele or utile would have been pretty durable and affordable option) I like chatting to joiners best training ever:) nice bench!
Does anyone else like the video before watching cause they know it's gonna be a banger?.
Thank you!
@@RagnBoneBrown been watching you for years always look forward to your videos. Never fail to entertain and educate
Is there anything those old coat racks can't do?! Lovely work!
Infinity stock of the magical hat and coat stand. It's a good day when they get used
😁👍
I'm not sure why but I haven't been getting notifications about uploads from you and the wood whisperer in over a month..I didn't even realize you had been posting
Interesting, did you click the bell icon? I think that is meant to notify you every time... 👍 Cheers
@@RagnBoneBrown yeah I did that when they first switched over to making us click it for every video notification. I guess I need to make sure I have it set to every video and not the other options but I could have sworn I already checked. If that's not the problem I guess I'll have to just remember to keep checking to see if there are any new ones
To the untrained eye it looked fit for firewood or a skip. Great job reclaiming it. It looks great. How many of the coat and hat stands did you start with?? You can't possibly have many left at this stage. It has to be said that you are a great exponent of the use of reclaimed wood.
Thought I was watching Jon Peters, amazing build whatever timber it is.....
This looks great, your mums probably got the nicest garden bench in the country 😂
Beautiful simple bench Keith. Can't believe you still have coat racks left, you sure there not breeding in the wood store lol. Take care Geoff
Haha! Thank you!
I made an electric guitar from what turned out to be teak from my brother's garden. You can barely lift the thing!
I love salvaged wood ( and other materials ).
I just don't understand how the minds of some people work. "Oh yeh this bench here made of 100s of quid's worth of wood , i am just going to throw it away."
LOL is that another hat a coat stand , bloody hell Keith how many of them did you get :D
Thank you! To be fair I don't think it was being thrown away, there was a house clearance going on and my mum and dad asked if they could have it. I think the owners took a few days to think about it and then said yes 👍 a great find though
yes the hat and coat stands again:)
😁👍
I absolutely love this project Keith. Firstly the finished bench is lovely. But there's something so deeply satisfying about how you reuse reclaimed wood.
Question: how do you source your reclaimed wood? Do you pay for it or is it all free? Do you scour classified or just see them when you are driving around. Or by now do you have a network of informants that tip you off.
Thank you! It's mostly free although I've bought some of it via Facebook marketplace. I've got more than I can store at the moment. People offer me stuff sometimes, but usually it's just stuff found on marketplace or out and about
"I think it looks pretty good" ;)
I was wondering which is more impressive, how you've developed as a craftsman or as a presenter. I think it has to be a presenter, since you were always a decent maker (although now way better) but, as you said, when you started you seemed very uncomfortable. Now you seem so more relaxed and, as a result, more confident ans, well, just better at it. Thanks for sharing all of this with us. And I hope that doesn't sound patronising, as it's not supposed to! By the way, have you come across Epic UpCycling? You probably have, but if not, give it a look as I'm sure you'd enjoy it. All the best.
Thank you! Not patronising at all, I appreciate the kind words, presenting will never be something that comes natural to me
12:41 ❤ 🐈⬛ ❤
I'm nominating you for the next poet laureate
Definitely real teak, nice build but beech dominos are no good for outdoor use you should have got the sipo/utile ones
Yeah I figured as the joint would be sealed with pu glue it should be fine but not best practice. Last time I made my own oak dominos!
