Thanks a million for first showing the end product and then the process. Way better than watching a 15 min video only to realize you didn't like it. Yours looks great too!
Plug those massive holes in the top with dowels for a rustic look. It will look as though you used dowel joinery but this is a great video, very professional.
PDF says the standard dims of a sleeper is 400x200. They’re not. They’re 200x100 so it ends up quite a bit short. Would suggest a different leg design else it’s a bit low.
Constantly... I actually clicked on this video to see how the bolts would be protected, as the thumbnail image got me curious... seems like no protection at all huh?
The wood used is Macrocarpa. Used in many parts of the world as railway sleepers and very popular in Australia and NZ for gardens and backyard walkways dividers. Naturally resistant to rot, so you'd be good for many decades in that regard. Alternatively you can get yourself a tenon plug drill bit and make wood plugs to cover the holes. It works both ways and I've done it many times.
+Larché Jacques Clarel Macrocarpa is the type of wood (as they say in the video). Macrocarpa has a natural oil inside it which acts as a natural preservative.
+Larché Jacques Clarel The video is made in New Zealand, I know you can buy it there - very common. I know the tree is native to the USA so I assume you can buy it there too. It costs NZD$35 for 100mm x 200mm x 2400mm. Not sure where else in the world you can buy it. Might need to google it if you want to buy some in your country.
Hi Brendan, cut two for the seats 1700mm long, two for the legs 400mm long and four for the feet 160mm long. The feet you will also need to cut to 50mm thick and 100mm wide - you'll find further instructions over on our website www.mitre10.co.nz/guides-and-advice/guide/how-to-build-a-bench-seat^Matt
Macrocarpa is a very easy wood to work with tools but it is absolute nonsense to suggest it won't rot outside. Used as decking has about a 5-7 year life, used as garden edging (which it gets marketed & sold as here in NZ as sleepers) it starts to show rot in a few years. Against wet soil it'll be totally failed in 10 years.
He speaks with a New Zealand accent. Their pronunciation of vowels is different "ligs" (legs) and the " ls" are not pronounced like bevo (bevel). His explanations are easy-to-understand and he has a high skill level.
You need to translate the measurements in inches and feet. After all most of your audience is American and UA-cam’s an American company. So cut the meters and millimeter shit out. 👻
his video is for all that educated and smart that can do their own conversion... I don't think all his video for you Kathryn Liu... you are idiot even since kindergarten. You need to watch video for "special kid" only....

Brilliant video and fantastic instruction, so pleased I found this vid, easy to follow thanks (subscibed)👍
Love the bench, and I love that accent.
Guess I should go get something done!
Beautiful. I need four and I think I can do it. I think that I can.
great project. you have me some great ideas for my backyard. what's another type of wood I can use outdoors ?

I started my adventure with wood thanks to plans from the Stodoys.

All right!

@@janinehenderson854 Yes ️👍️👍️👍
Would a few of these in your outdoor living space look pretty good? Here Stan shows you how to make your own. Easy as.

Cool!
Could you show how you get the feet out of the sleeper please
how would you finish off the top holes after the bolts to avoid getting circle marks on bum!
Nice work though.
Could you show or tell me how you get the feet out of the sleeper please
How did you hide the bolts
I would attach the legs from underneath. Those bolt holes will collect a lot of water.

Any DIY video on making simple wall mounted desks for kid's study. Ideally a space saver
Hi Great work

Nice bench! I think I'll build one. I'll make my "ligs" longer though... haa ha ha.

Have you put two of the sleepers for the seating? And left a gap between?
Hi Jane Stephens , Yes. We've used two sleepers on top with a small gap in between. You can download the full guide off our website. SR
how much to buy them
What type of wood did you say? Appreciated. Looks like a nice alternative to Cedar
Harry Paul Garcia it's macrocarpa
thinking of doing this in the US - is your lumber 6x4 inches?
Hi Mr Mitre , can you tell me wat wood species are you using? n also is the wood being use outside why there is no preservative applied?
+Larché Jacques Clarel Macrocarpa is the type of wood (as they say in the video). Macrocarpa has a natural oil inside it which acts as a natural preservative.
+Phillip Quinlan its local wood ? it replaces teak and is cheaper? pretty good looking wood :)

Phillip Quinlan c rdt
Phillip Quinlan Except the level of natural preservative is very low. Macrocarpa does rot very quickly outside.
How long is the bench please, I’m building one and not sure what length to cut the sleepers
Thanks
Hi Brendan, cut two for the seats 1700mm long, two for the legs 400mm long and four for the feet 160mm long.

What was the name of the wood that you used mate
macrocarpa mate
I like these videos, but it would be helpful to give the price of the material used.
Hi Umar,
It's not always possible to do this as a lot of our timber has regional pricing. This bench seat costs approx $120 in materials.

I found very clear plans for something like that I found on Stodoys website.
You say in the pdf a standard sleeper is 400 x 200 ..... surely that should be 200 x 100 ?
Yes. Sorry about that and thanks for the heads up - we will get the PDF updated ASAP.
@@mitre10nz no probs your work is amazing
Mils or mm? Those parts look much too big for mils, I'll assume mm and convert to inches!
Eric Ritter mils and mm are the exact same to us
Well that's too bad that you can't use the correct units, nor can you do simple fractions apparently. I'll stick with the US Customary system!
Eric Ritter oh the wrong way
this nz vids fuck off and watch yr dumb us vids they can't build for shit
john Smith yeah and thats you guys houses fall apart in the simplest little storms huhhh? FUCK OUTTA HERE..
Ok
On the stodoys site you can find many interesting plans
Bruh that bench is cyclone rated..
Might as well just buy one instead of buying all that machinery lol

Exactly. After a few videos I accustomed to it.
Clearly, the metric system works, but I'm not learning it. Lol

no!
Why don't you watch American builders then
