I built the same bench with 1x3. I used an orbital sander to sand the legs flat. Think I’m gonna try with 2x4. Great vid.

I'm looking forward to doing this in my yard.

I copied this for a little 27” x 16” bench and it game out great. Thank you for not editing out the part where you had to fix the evenness of the bottom. I made sure to move the too short pieces so they were flush with the floor rather than the top, since I don’t have a planer like that. I still need to try polyurethane and hopefully it will look half as nice as your bench. thank you for the inspiration cheers

Appreciate the closeup of fixing the warped board. I’m still new to diy woodworking so this wasn’t something I had thought about before.

Such a simple project produces something so nice. Beautiful stain. Thank you for sharing this video.

Interesting. I work at a park and I think I am going to make an outdoor version of this with the difference being there will be 4 longer pieces on each of the legs corners so I can put them into the ground and add some concrete to anchor them. Thanks for the idea!

[brentm]

Love this. Am I the only one that thought he said something else when he said bench?

That's a really nice sturdy looking bench. I've built similar benches and seats in the past. The problem I find when using dimensional lumber is the poor quality of the wood. I was spending at least a half hour or more just sorting through the crappy lumber to find 10 to 12 decent boards. And sometimes there wasn't enough decent boards in an entire stack of the so-called "premium" lumber. I got so fed up with having to cull so much lumber I ended up going back to building storage sheds. But hey, I'm glad it worked out for you.
