@libbyhardel1826منذ 3 سنوات I love that cat, he's a total daddy's boy! LOVE the build, as always! 14
@

@thewoodworkguy1189منذ 3 سنوات Awesome build Keith. Thanks for the plans. Love the way Dylan comes over to say hi on que! Such a little legend. 8
@

@niva8043منذ 3 سنوات What a lucky day for sweet Dylan, 3 more "beds" for him to enjoy. I believe he said -It was about time I got something nice for my outdoor naps. 2
@

@karenstimson2683منذ 3 سنوات Dylan clearly approves! I think he's claiming them as perfect spots for sun-napping. Lovely design, great results. 2

@jasonsillett5572منذ 3 سنوات Hi Keith great build , instead of the plastic door stop things I used cut up cheapy plastic chopping boards for the legs on my picnic benches , they made id="hidden3" class="buttons"> perfect barriers to stop moisture and to stop legs splitting . They really do extended the life of them . Another one is find a playground manufacturer and ask them for any small of cuts the plastic they use as that comes in really funky colours and adds a little something extra . I do have some small bits if you want them as I’m not far from you ....وسعت 3

@Bill.L.Carrollمنذ 3 سنوات That's a hell of a savings, man!
Grouse build, they look quite comfy, and more importantly have Dylan's meow of approval! 1

@claytongriffiths1884منذ 2 سنوات Just got my plans off etsy and look forward to having a go at making it in the spring ready for the summer as my back garden is my workshop.

@LilianaJulitaالعام الماضي I love your beautiful cat! And your sofas are also very nice. Well done!
@

@steved8038منذ 3 سنوات Really well designed and built .Thank you. 1
@

@TheFurnitureArtisanمنذ 3 سنوات Nice project. I’ve made a few various shaped and sized outdoor seating over the years. The savings are great.
A tip for anyone who may be inted="hidden4" class="buttons">rested. As an alternative to your ‘door stop feet’, I’ve have added about 20mm of epoxy resin to the bottoms of legs(make a well with tape and fill with the resin). No wood in contact with wet floors and it seems to withstand the inevitable dragging around the patio. ....وسعت 3

@deanreynolds2027منذ 3 سنوات Great build I use felt roofing shingles on the bottom of my outside table cut to size of legs,It's also good for levelling up as well 1

@erictheviking672منذ 3 سنوات Great job. Crazy how the cushions cost more than the rest of the bits. Thanks for posting. Happy relaxing!
@

@neilf4128منذ 3 سنوات Your fast becoming a master-craftsman. I really appreciate your no nonsense approach to just about everything. Its funny though, even though outdoor furniture id="hidden5" class="buttons"> is so expensive, there's no way even a DIYer will pay pennies for materials needed. Keith, awesome job as usual. ....وسعت

@CartersShedمنذ 3 سنوات They look nice and comfy. Let's hope for a decent summer so they can get plenty of use.

@

@robertbamford8266منذ 3 سنوات Great looking results. Not sure about PT wood. Hate working with it when not necessary. As far as I can tell it requires an oil based primer. Our experience id="hidden7" class="buttons"> with a similar project led us to find available cushions and size the furniture to the cushions. Still the most expensive part. Thanks for the video. ....وسعت 1

@frankslittleworkshopمنذ 3 سنوات Nicely done Keith. Hope your going to make a matching one "Dylan sized" . They look great. Nice job
@

@rodgerqمنذ 3 سنوات The price of garden furniture is eye-watering. These look better than a lot of what's available and will no doubt last longer!

@danconlan8735منذ 3 سنوات Great work Keith, you are definitely a much better painter/strainer than I am! I will have made a mess under that project trying to paint it with no drop cloths!
Thanks for sharing that,

@

@isyt1منذ 3 سنوات Good job!
40 odd quid before the cushions is pretty good really. And you can buy foam and fabric on Amazon to make your own cushions too
@

@a..d5518منذ 3 سنوات They came out very nice, and the can gave a thumbs up as well…

@GrumpysWorkshop4منذ 3 سنوات Interesting video, me & the mrs have been talking about me making some outdoor furniture to go under our lean-to.
@

@alistairstanger2940منذ 3 سنوات Nice job! I’m looking to make some outdoor chairs and I guess this design without the centre piece and reduced in width appropriately would work.
@

@thebushyoneمنذ 3 سنوات Should do a follow up video by making an outdoor sofa swing
@

@outoftheburroughمنذ 3 سنوات They look fab, a tip on the cushions/seat depth, have the cushions overhang the seat front edge by about 2cm so you don't get the rail in the back id="hidden9" class="buttons"> of your knees.
&The cushions are water resistant not water proof so don't leave them out in the rain ....وسعت 1

@jezwarren-clarke2471منذ 3 سنوات Great video and nice garden seating.. and i thought it was just me with sketch up.. I always seem to end up with a pen and paper in the end. Much quicker. (Although it’s only me who understands my plans)
@

@avory321منذ 3 سنوات Great project. In the past for a similar project for the feet I used pound land plastic chopping boards. Cut them smaller than the wood so you can't id="hidden11" class="buttons"> see them, then some PU glue and a couple of brad nails to hold it in place. ....وسعت 1
@

@andrewarcher880منذ 3 سنوات A good way to protect the legs from soaking up moisture is to coat the end grain with epoxy resin, just use masking tape around the bottom but leave it id="hidden12" class="buttons"> proud by around 3 to 4 mm causing a damn for the epoxy to sit in whilst it hardens. Great project mate. ....وسعت 1
@

@cjhificationمنذ 3 سنوات Looks very nice, and possibly something to offer as a commission piece via your Etsy shop, sure some others would love it and it's probably better id="hidden13" class="buttons"> built than the other offerings at £1000 you mentioned. Maybe they are using better wood for it than construction lumber though when I consider it further.
As always, enjoyed and inspired. ....وسعت 1

@thomasgabriel4531منذ 3 سنوات Great video again keith will definitely have to give making one a go hopefully have the summer for it. I also came across a new Irish woodworker on youtube by name eire workshop have you seen it he is very knowledgeable
@

@BensWorkshopمنذ 3 سنوات Keeping wood off the ground is the key part I think. When I built my workshop the wooden walls are on concrete blocks with a damp proof course for just that reason.
@

@bigpete4227منذ 3 سنوات I’m just about to make something similar and have been taking photos of park benches.
@

@hdwoodshopمنذ 3 سنوات Great video. I was thinking for extra safety to apply epoxy to the end grain of the legs. Then use the stoppers. They look great!
@

@bidders77منذ 3 سنوات Recently built a sofa myself with pallet wood and used a full varnish finish and used rubber feet with a steel washer included, if you search " 4 id="hidden16" class="buttons"> x Rubber Cabinet Feet 38mm x 10mm c/w Steel Washers " on eBay you should find them, very happy with them but different sizes are available ....وسعت

@robgullenمنذ 3 سنوات The feet - I looked at the door-stop idea for an outdoor table I've just made (using the granite sink cut out from our new kitchen worktops - with id="hidden17" class="buttons"> the edges polished by the sypplier - and a recycled timber frame) - but decided to buy some of the plastic buffers that are part of the headboard fittings on most beds . .. drilling the legs and fitting threaded inserts to fix the plastic discs (about 15mm thick so enough to keep the legs clear of surface water) ....وسعت
@

@stevenclarke5606منذ 3 سنوات Nice job, I might give it a go , as you said the commercially available versions are extremely expensive or very poorly made and flimsy, as I don’t have a bench saw I’ll have to make some adjustments to make it easier for me. ....وسعت
@

@williammoore4101منذ 3 سنوات for the bottom of the feet, you can put a thin layer of epoxy. works great for outdoor furniture
@

@buddythompson5284منذ 3 سنوات I can't remember where at the moment, (I think maybe the @WoodWhisperer was one) but I've seen two recent videos where people have used tape around id="hidden19" class="buttons"> the end of the legs, extending past the ends, to form a casting form of sorts that they then fill with epoxy. This gives them solid moisture-resistant feet for the legs. ....وسعت
@

@JohnColgan.منذ 3 سنوات Nice build, very trendy looking with the contrasting paint/cussion colours. Rubber doorstops would be better, plastic will go brittle in sun & frost

@

@kiritladva620منذ 2 سنوات Great video thanks - I’ll be purchasing the plans from Etsy!
A few questions though, what type of wood preserver are you using? And do you think it would be ok to build a longer sofa with same design? Closer to a 3 seater in size? I presume will need an additional set of legs in the middle to support? Thanks in advance. ....وسعت

@fraforgt-350r2منذ 2 سنوات I’m going to be trying out some £50 B&M wooden benches soon. They come in a flat box so I assume you have to assemble urself.

@stevethetrixterمنذ 3 سنوات I'm just making one of these after downloading your plans, really enjoying it so far. One question, regarding how long to leave the wood to dry out id="hidden23" class="buttons"> after adding the treatment, what is a sensible moisture content to aim for before applying the final paint treatment ? ....وسعت

@spongefactoryمنذ 3 سنوات Look great Keith - what paint did you use (Screwfix no no-nonsense) and what's the wood preservative you used. Cheers
@

@stevehough8528منذ 3 سنوات Those plastic doorstops as feet may well fail over time. I don't think the cheaper ones are UV stabilised and I prefer the rubber versions. I have id="hidden24" class="buttons"> also used walking stick rubber ends that fit over a dowel that is fitted into the end of the leg. A very nice build! ....وسعت
