    The first half of the th-cam.com/users/postUgkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGMDiJ book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.

    Jonny - I just built this sofa. Beautiful design, but definitely needed fasteners throughout the entire build. Maybe I didn’t glue it down well, but the sections kept falling apart on me.
    I also added 2 boards to run across the top.
    Let me know if you would like to see my build.

  • @Stelios.Posantzis
    @Stelios.Posantzis 3 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    I like the design a lot and I really like the concept. Rounding the edges is what makes it - great touch!
    The only thing I would change would be to use the same vertical slat arrangement for the seat - as opposed to the slats laid flat - to increase rigidity but also have a more robust front look that the skirt offers

    2x4 Season has begun. Such a simple design and perfect for if you need to move as it comes apart. The addition of the slot in end tables is what sets it apart in my view. A nice touch.

  • @dianedains7752
    @dianedains7752 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is fantastic - thanks for sharing. Ideas I would consider as I want this for outdoor use: for the seat bottom - don't add the extra board in-between, but maybe close up spacing between boards a bit. Then similar for seat back, just using your finger jointing, but step back the boards to go up on the angle and the you would not need the back brace. It does mean the sides would not be all the same length, but as you did when you assembled, marked and cut, you could cut those too (just ideas). I really appreciate the motivation! Our wood prices are still a bit crazy, so when I finally get to make this, I will definitely tag you!

    This is exactly the kind of (ideas) sofa, and other things, I would make, if I was a carpenter. And now thanks to you, sims not so impossible, even when I don't have a workshop of my one. Furthermore, if you, at some point, don't want the sofa anymore, you can use the component peaces for something totally different. Brilliant idea with this sofa! Very well done!
    The only thing I may be doing different, is that I may't be choosing the sitting cushion a bit thicker.
