I am moving this summer, also. It is exciting to start a new adventure and plenty of chances for new videos! I'm looking forward to see what you come up with.
I Like To Make Stuff he's right you deserve heaps more subscribers and to be honest I don't know why you haven't achieved the large fan base that other big TH-cam channels have...
i dont want to seem rude here, but he is already over a million.. what do you guys expect?! he is already part of the biggest chanels on youtube. i dont know a single woodworking / home DIY project chanel that is bigger than he is you really cant call that underrated....
man, only took this video that made me want to watch rest of them.. right on point no extra time wasting info, no fancy editting... i love it . and learned..
I'm glad I ran across this video today. My daughter and son-in-law are going to have a pool installed and they will need some storage space for pool items. This is the perfect solution. I have all the tools needed and my son-in-law is a great helper. I'm sure if we had all materials on hand, we could build something like this in half a day. BTW, I love the bike t-shirt. I've never seen one quite like that. Since you obviously are a cyclist, you will know what I mean when I tell you I am and old guy and I now ride a 'bent and love it. With degenerative disk disease in my upper and lower back it just became too painful to ride an upright, but the 'bent has enabled me to keep riding into my 70s.
Looks good Bob! the only thing I'd change is when laying the deck boards out is to have the exposed surface of the deck boards be the crown of the wood grain. For longevity, as the boards move around the pith, you want the board to take a crown shape instead of a cup shape. This prevents water from laying on the boards
Just last night my wife was looking at buying an outdoor sofa for the patio, I think this might be a better option considering this will have storage. Thanks for sharing.
Very well thought out design and construction. This bin was already tested in its previous iteration, so it's really a "should-be" rather than just a "has been"!
Your vids always inspire me. I like to make stuff too. And knocked this project out the past few nights. Had to bring it down to a 8 footer but it works. Love it. Thanks for your work. You do an awesome job. 😊
Hey, Bob, I don't even know what half the tools you use are or build any of this stuff, but I still love watching these amazing projects come together and it inspires me to persevere even when there are mistakes in life that I make! Thanks!
I'm very impressed that you didn't fall into the pool while building the bench! I would have so tripped and fell in within the first 20 min! Love this idea! Can't wait to see your new shop!
This video could not have been more timely. I need to build some of these to move my lawn stuff out of the garage (my shop!) Thanks Bob, and congrats on your move. It will be a long summer but worth it!
Brilliant! I wish I'd seen that trick about flipping the frame a month ago bc it's such a simple way to handle the frame building I'm a little annoyed I didn't think of it! Fantastic video, thanks!
i love building stuff that my parents could use every day, makes me feel good when i see their faces light up at what i've created. My father needs this for his pool. so i think im going to build a 5 foot long one (as he doesnt have a very large amount of pool stuff). thanks for the inspiration! Keep doing what you're doing, you're great at it!
mesh bottom, great idea. perhaps he already mentioned this, but an advantage of using just the mesh on the bottom is that you won't have moldy wood at the bottom. whatever you put in the storage box is probably wet/damp from the pool.
Bob, awesome project video. When you're done, it is like the same with the outdoor plumbing sink project when you were trying to cool off in the pool during building it.
i do a bit of woodworking myself and whenever i need inspiration for a project i watch your videos I've rewatched all of your videos so many time and they never get old i love them!!
Bob you do amazing projects all the time and I watch every single video even though I sometimes don't even have the intention of building the thing you make but I just really enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the awesome work! 😊
That's an awesome project! I'm going to adapt this to put on my deck as we have an octagon that I was going to put benches around for seating then add a table! Thanks and great job, Bob!
in the picture in the beginning I counted 8 2 x4s, and I saw 11 1x 4s. You need 4 of the former, just for the frame, plus there were 12 of the smaller pieces, which would depend on the width and depth you want. The 1x4 s require at least 5 for the top and 10, for both sides, plus the ends so that is at least 16 or 17. Correct me if you see otherwise.
I could see the following for a cut list. take the cut list and plot it out to see the optimal lumber purchase. (6 pcs) 2x4x8 cut at roughly 18.75" (4 pcs) 2x4x10 (6 pcs) 2x4x8 cut at about 22" 1" overhang for feet (8 pcs) 1x4x12 cut at about 10' then remaining 2' for ends (4 pcs) 1x4x10 decking boards (6 pcs) 2x4x8 about 15" screws 2" screws 2 1/2"
New Camera? I generally like the color correction but I think the blacks are a bit too bright, I would love some more contrast. Other than that - great video as alllways!!!
Hey Bob, I just got my own workshop, it's a completely blank space and so I was thinking of building a floating work bench, but i had no idea where to start. I figured you would know how to. You're probably not going to see this but it was worth a try. BTW I love all your projects and your channel.
Hi, Bob. I know it's probably a lot to ask, but I've been wanting to make one of those mirror that has cabinet behind it to put accessories for so long. The only woodworking channel I enjoy watching is yours. I really hope you could make one so I could learn it to make one for myself.
been watching LOTS of outdoor storage box "how to's" trying to figure out how to best make one for my needs, and yours is THE BEST. great job! also, HUGE, so hell yeah for that!
Thanks for this vid I was looking for a project for my deck cushions, having watched this earlier today i bought my wood and I’ve started a similar project Hopefully I’ll get it finished by tomorrow!
Nice work man I like that kind of projects. Only thing that bothering me are mechanical joints. Screws. I use them too but always making sure that i hide them. Thanks and good luck
Are you using an agent of DIY'ing the sale? We are doing the same thing right now. House looks like a bomb went off as we are packing everything up and getting ready to stage it.
I come looking for ideas, and this one was the perfect result to what I was looking for. My bench is different than then one you are doing, but it gave me the perfect the adjustment to fit what I want to do. Thanks
Really like the simplicity of this one! We're going to try to do a few limited tool videos since one of the most frequent comments we get are about not having all the tools needed for a project
List of quantities, sizes and dimensions pleeeease! You did mention in the video that you used 2x4x10' and the 1x4's were 12' and used the remaining 2' to cover the sides so I'm assuming the width is 2' but what about the height
Great quick build! Not everything has to be a huge project... And the cannonball, perfect! And I just heard you say very clearly "Hi I'm Bob AT I like to make stuff" I can't believe I have been hearing "and" all this time. Meow I know Haha!
Señor Roberto, I don't know where else to put this so I'll put it here... I know you have a lot of requests & suggestions, but if I could suggest building a pool (billiards) table at your new place, if space permits. I THINK a homebuilt one wouldn't be too pricey, yet is so hard to find cheap quality ones for sale. Good luck with the move!!!
cool, was looking to building something similar for our pool area. so your uprights re sticking out a bit at the bottom inicially but that is to offset it from the ground... nice... I might put in a plywood bottom. to hold abitheavier materials. cheers
Hy Bob Im a big fan and I have a cool idea. FIDGET SPINNERS are very popular right now and I was thinkin that maybe you shoud make one out of wood that whould be realy awesome .
![$30 Bench from 2x8s [Only 3 Tools and 30mins]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/y12psLC230I/mqdefault.jpg)
Yes, I am moving! This was built at our current home as a way to tidy up the backyard as we prepare it for sale. The bench will stay at this house.
I Like To Make Stuff That'll be a nice present for the future home owners. Great video, Bob!
I Like To Make Stuff when you move are you selling the house or renting because renting is a good way to earn money
Will you be creating a mini series "I Like To Pack Stuff" ?? :D
please make a Guitar with your own design,logo and your color
I am moving this summer, also. It is exciting to start a new adventure and plenty of chances for new videos! I'm looking forward to see what you come up with.
you are underrated sir you deserve more subscribers
Awww.. Thank you!! That's very kind!
I Like To Make Stuff he's right you deserve heaps more subscribers and to be honest I don't know why you haven't achieved the large fan base that other big TH-cam channels have...
Masked TH-camr you are so right
i dont want to seem rude here, but he is already over a million.. what do you guys expect?!
he is already part of the biggest chanels on youtube. i dont know a single woodworking / home DIY project chanel that is bigger than he is
you really cant call that underrated....
halsti99 so can I say pew die pie is overrated and I'm also not being rude bro
One of the highlights of my day is when Bob posts a video! Love your videos man!
That's awesome, thank you so much Hugo!!
man, only took this video that made me want to watch rest of them.. right on point no extra time wasting info, no fancy editting... i love it . and learned..

Hi there - I am new to DIY and wood work, is there an obvious way to tell which is the crown of the wood grain? Sounds like a great tip.
Hallelujah. Thanks for making it simple, everything else is so overbuilt and overwhelming.
Just last night my wife was looking at buying an outdoor sofa for the patio, I think this might be a better option considering this will have storage. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent!
Very well thought out design and construction. This bin was already tested in its previous iteration, so it's really a "should-be" rather than just a "has been"!
Time to show this to the wife to see if she'll sign off on me making some smaller ones for our porch. Good job Bob!
Your vids always inspire me. I like to make stuff too. And knocked this project out the past few nights. Had to bring it down to a 8 footer but it works. Love it. Thanks for your work. You do an awesome job. 😊
Hey, Bob, I don't even know what half the tools you use are or build any of this stuff, but I still love watching these amazing projects come together and it inspires me to persevere even when there are mistakes in life that I make! Thanks!
That's awesome to hear! Thanks You!
I Like To Make Stuff And also would you mind subscribing to me? :D
I'm very impressed that you didn't fall into the pool while building the bench! I would have so tripped and fell in within the first 20 min! Love this idea! Can't wait to see your new shop!
Thanks!
Added bonus... Small bit of mesh behind hand holes to stop small critters.
This video could not have been more timely. I need to build some of these to move my lawn stuff out of the garage (my shop!) Thanks Bob, and congrats on your move. It will be a long summer but worth it!
Awesome! I hope it's helpful!
You need your own tv show but im glad its on TH-cam. Modern day Bob Villa
I need to build one of these so bad. I like the design. Clean and easy to build and looks good too.
Brilliant! I wish I'd seen that trick about flipping the frame a month ago bc it's such a simple way to handle the frame building I'm a little annoyed I didn't think of it! Fantastic video, thanks!
:) Thanks!
Do you have plans for this
Awesome Bob. I'm also frustrated with treated-lumber-warpage- you hide it well!
Very attractive! And, more importantly, it looked simple to build. I like simple.
i love building stuff that my parents could use every day, makes me feel good when i see their faces light up at what i've created. My father needs this for his pool. so i think im going to build a 5 foot long one (as he doesnt have a very large amount of pool stuff). thanks for the inspiration! Keep doing what you're doing, you're great at it!
Awesome!! thank you, perfect for storm shutters.
mesh bottom, great idea.
perhaps he already mentioned this, but an advantage of using just the mesh on the bottom is that you won't have moldy wood at the bottom. whatever you put in the storage box is probably wet/damp from the pool.
Very cool. Thanks for posting. Gonna modify to make an indoor dining room bench.
The best video I watched! Got the idea now! Thank you mate!
I just built this according to your plans and it turned out great. Thanks!
Looks great! I'm sure the new home owners will love it. Add some cushions to the top and now you have a nice bench to sit and watch the kids swim.
A great and simple project. Happy moving Bob.
Bob, awesome project video. When you're done, it is like the same with the outdoor plumbing sink project when you were trying to cool off in the pool during building it.
Great video, so clear. Do you think I can make this a bit higher and with side door instead of top opening?
Do you have a breakdown of the lumber/hardware purchased for this project handy?
Great job. Im gonna make one for my grandkids toys. Thanx
Very nicely done great outdoor storage.
Great item very Portable and easy to clean.
i do a bit of woodworking myself and whenever i need inspiration for a project i watch your videos I've rewatched all of your videos so many time and they never get old i love them!!
I love your videos
I know I can't make those things but I still love watching you making them
Bob you do amazing projects all the time and I watch every single video even though I sometimes don't even have the intention of building the thing you make but I just really enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the awesome work! 😊
That's very kind, thank you!!
That's an awesome project! I'm going to adapt this to put on my deck as we have an octagon that I was going to put benches around for seating then add a table! Thanks and great job, Bob!
Nice! Good thinking!
Can we get a complete list of the lumber please. I really want to try this
in the picture in the beginning I counted 8 2 x4s, and I saw 11 1x 4s. You need 4 of the former, just for the frame, plus there were 12 of the smaller pieces, which would depend on the width and depth you want. The 1x4 s require at least 5 for the top and 10, for both sides, plus the ends so that is at least 16 or 17. Correct me if you see otherwise.

(6 pcs) 2x4x8 cut at roughly 18.75"
(4 pcs) 2x4x10
(6 pcs) 2x4x8 cut at about 22" 1" overhang for feet
(8 pcs) 1x4x12 cut at about 10' then remaining 2' for ends
(4 pcs) 1x4x10 decking boards
(6 pcs) 2x4x8 about 15"
screws 2"
screws 2 1/2"
New Camera?
I generally like the color correction but I think the blacks are a bit too bright, I would love some more contrast.
Other than that - great video as alllways!!!
Thanks! I did get a new camera, but this one was outside so the exposure was all over the place.
That is the driest pressure treated wood I have ever seen! Congrats on that find.
I really appreciate your intro. I don't know why.
:) Thanks!
Bob. You always add value based projects! For this I'm grateful, I know others are as well. Looks great!
Hey Bob, I just got my own workshop, it's a completely blank space and so I was thinking of building a floating work bench, but i had no idea where to start. I figured you would know how to. You're probably not going to see this but it was worth a try. BTW I love all your projects and your channel.
I love watching your videos and seeing you create stuff. It's somehow relaxing.
Please excuse my unfortunate wording. I like seeing you make stuff. *
Outdoor storage/casket! Very practical!
Hi, Bob. I know it's probably a lot to ask, but I've been wanting to make one of those mirror that has cabinet behind it to put accessories for so long. The only woodworking channel I enjoy watching is yours. I really hope you could make one so I could learn it to make one for myself.

Nice work man
I like that kind of projects.
Only thing that bothering me are mechanical joints. Screws. I use them too but always making sure that i hide them.
Thanks and good luck
So nice to have convenient storage and seat close to the pool. Nice work Bob, super helpful!
Measurements of all the wood pieces would help a lot!
Are you using an agent of DIY'ing the sale? We are doing the same thing right now. House looks like a bomb went off as we are packing everything up and getting ready to stage it.

Really like the simplicity of this one! We're going to try to do a few limited tool videos since one of the most frequent comments we get are about not having all the tools needed for a project
EvanAndKatelyn I'd watch that 😃
Fantastic! Any tips for keeping rain out?
very nice bench easy to make a great idea do more vedios like this
You make it look so easy.
Thanks for the idea, I want to build it to store hurricane shutters in the yard and get them out of my garage. Awesome.
Made it seem way too easy man awesome video thanks might do me one of these for my porch this weekend
Great work. I planned on making something similar to store our bikes outside in a secured location.
Great video, just a quick question, how would you go about making this water proof so that you can store seat covers in etc?
This is great man.. Your videos are my new way of passing time.
Definitely going to build one of these and put some cushions on it for our backyard.
List of quantities, sizes and dimensions pleeeease!
You did mention in the video that you used 2x4x10' and the 1x4's were 12' and used the remaining 2' to cover the sides so I'm assuming the width is 2' but what about the height
Any updates on the plans to make this?
nicely done, excellent video work to keep it short and to the point.
Great idea to put the wire mesh at the bottom. That's something I'll put in mine as well. Keep up the great work! Love your videos.
Great quick build! Not everything has to be a huge project... And the cannonball, perfect!
And I just heard you say very clearly "Hi I'm Bob AT I like to make stuff" I can't believe I have been hearing "and" all this time. Meow I know Haha!
+Dave Strain Ha!
As usual, another great project video.
hi bob nice work!!!
Thanks!
Dude.... I like you video style... nice upload.
Man, 10 feet of storage, that would be nice! And way to hold the tuck on that cannonball 😃
Two weeks later you need to build another one.
Nice work "Bobby" , I needed some outdoor furniture ideas.
Hahahaha
Easy and functional! Nicely done!
LOve it! Especially how quick and to the point the video is!
Señor Roberto, I don't know where else to put this so I'll put it here...
I know you have a lot of requests & suggestions, but if I could suggest building a pool (billiards) table at your new place, if space permits. I THINK a homebuilt one wouldn't be too pricey, yet is so hard to find cheap quality ones for sale.
Good luck with the move!!!
think I might give this one a shot - cheers Bob
Great build for a guy like me looking for ideas. keep it up, love your channel.
Thanks so much!
cool, was looking to building something similar for our pool area.
so your uprights re sticking out a bit at the bottom inicially but that is to offset it from the ground... nice...
I might put in a plywood bottom. to hold abitheavier materials.
cheers
This is great. Appreciate your succinctness!
Awesome Bob. Gave me some good ideas for my own. I was trying to figure out how to give it some "feet" your idea is super simple. Love it!
Excellent!
Something about a grown man saying pool noodles that make me chuckle. Good build, thanks.
Somehow I have never thought of storage in a bench. I should probably try this soon.
Hy Bob Im a big fan and I have a cool idea. FIDGET SPINNERS are very popular right now and I was thinkin that maybe you shoud make one out of wood that whould be realy awesome .
Hi , this is awesome , you may add back panels and be a good bench being facing to the pool , it is just an idea ,
Nice look. Can this be made waterproof for storing patio cushions?
When I saw your video, all my bad day at school go away to put sun. Tank you
Awesome sometimes the quick easy projects are great videos too.
Great summer project Bob.
I am not going to build any of this, but it is very satisfying to Watch. :3
this is my fav YT channel. the videos are so relaxed and nice to watch :)
Hey bob. Can we get a tour of your house?Looks gnarly with that big pool there!
nice job, it looks really cool.
great thing to have in every house.
That's pretty benchin' Bob! I totally need this... Thanks!
Hahah! Yeah man!
Lol!
Happen to have plans for cuts and measurements for this particular size storage box? Thanks!
hey nice project. hope relocationing was not that complex. eager to see your new work place.
This is awesome! It's so simple but looks way better than buying one of those plastic bins they sell
Yes true but as is this one is not water tight.
Color checker for the win!
