The project cost me $63 at Lowes
Woods, screws, speed square

It took me about 1 hour to build it and it looks very nice!

Thank you!!!

I'm pretty new to woodworking but wanted to give this a shot. I will say, my price was probably closer to $50 and definitely took me longer than 30 minutes (closer to 3 hours)...but, it turned out so great. Super sturdy, looks amazing. Something I'm awfully proud of. Thanks!

My wife and I homeschool our kids and I needed a wood project for my 14 year old. I found this and bought the materials. With a little help and about 45 minutes, he made a beautiful bench! Thank you.

Nice Job! But sure would take me more than 30 minutes! Takes me that long to get my tools and supplies together 🤣👍🏻

I saw your video last year and noticed the neighbor putting parts of his old deck on the curb for trash. I salvage several pieces of 2X8 and cut out enough parts for a bench and a seat (just a narrower version of the same design) Now I have found more salvaged lumber to make another bench, Thank You so much for sharing. Remember to recycle...

Just finished this project for my wifes surprise Valentine's gift. Plus gave me an excuse to buy a cordless circular saw. It turned out great and she loved it. Instructions were easy to follow. Thank you!!!

I watched the video this morning. Printed off your instructions and jumped in the truck to buy lumber. The wife and I love how it turned out. It did take me about five minutes to figure out that the 40 degree cut goes to the floor but I marked the leg cross measurements and figured it out pretty quickly. I will be making more of these. Super solid. Thank you.

I just got done building the bench. I am a beginner and your directions were easy to follow. My wife was surprise it came out so awesome. Now my kids have a nice bench to sit on when they wait for the bus in the morning. Thank you

I built this bench yesterday. It took me longer than 30 minutes but I go slow so that I don’t make mistakes. I love the simplicity of the design and how sturdy the bench is. It’s a beautiful project and I wish I needed three more because it was so fun and satisfying to build. Thanks for the video and the plans.

I built 6 of these. 2 of them I made 8’ long. They sold quickly, I also painted and stained a couple and they looked great! One customer orders 6 of the 4’ bench.
Thank you for they vid! You explained everything perfectly.

Привет Вам из Сибири! Спасибо за идею, сделал себе такую лавку. Была проблема небольшая с переводом из дюймов в мм, а так же углы у ножек лавки.
Но теперь лавка стоит у дома, радует маму )
P.S. обошлась в 15$

I bought your plans and built the bench today. My wife loves it. Thank you.

Thanks! This will be my gift to our 4 children at Christmas. Short story, we are giving each other hand made gifts this year. My only modification was to use lag bolts to hold the two base boards, as some of us are a bit heavier, and I thought it would help make the bench last longer. You are awesome for giving us this plan and great instruction!

I built this bench - turned out great - put it down beside the river worked great - however I didn't chain it to a tree and the river swelled during a rain and it was gone. I'm going to built another and chaining this time - great video

Just completed this yesterday and it was great fun. It’s my first venture ever in woodwork and the result is so gratifying, I’m already looking forward to the next project. In the meantime, I’m gonna enjoy a few cups of coffee on my brand new bench. Thank you Rogue Engineer!

Thanks man...made one ...this was my first wood project...had to use angular saw... very satisfying...took me 6hrs.

I made this today turned out great, but here in Australia we use the metric system. I did the conversions and anyone wondering what to use here this is what I used.
4 of these will do the job,
50mm x 200mm x 2400mm treated pine Sleepers from Bunnings. As they are not compressed treated I had to dress them. I used an electric planer and sander, they turned out great. You can do all measurements in imperial to make the legs, then use 1200mm to do the seats and back rest. Hope this helps.

Built this over the weekend, nice tip on the Diablo blade. Old craftsman cut the wood like butter...excellent step by step video....nice job!

[greggordon]

Thanks for the video and plans! How the heck do 3 people so far not like this video? Any beginner can do it, it's a piece of usable furniture you can make yourself, the parts and tools are inexpensive. It's brilliant!

This popped up in my feed today. Spent $35 on four 2x8x8s an hour later. Tonight I have a newly built bench. About 2 hours. Easy as it looks. Thanks for the video!
