    Thank you for the instruction video while you show your work. I am building my first ever outdoor furniture...well first build of anything of that size. I truly appreciate seeing the steps actual being done not just small diagrams on a screen or paper. It has given me better idea wtf I need to do. Puts a 3d plan in my head instead of a 2d paper concept. High 5 and wish me luck 🤪

    I'm just starting out wood working and I love seeing ppl create something out of a simple piece of wood. I've been picking up my tools a little at a time and one of the things I dont have is one of the things you said you didnt have, and that was the jig. I need to get one of those and then learn how to use it. I may try and build me a couch, however, I think I'll make a smaller version because I don't have the space. Thank you for making this video, it was very helpful!

    • @MeganBell
      @MeganBell  5 років тому +2

      I realized later that I used the kreg jig incorrectly in this video. It still got the job done, but there’s a better way to use it for sure!
      I love learning about wood working and sharing it with kind people like you who give such positive feedback.

    Great work! So far this is the best. I'm getting ready to have some build for my pergola and it's huge. The only different thing that I would do, is build them slanted at least one couch. I've been told that if I have the back and seat slanted it's lots more comfortable. We will see how it turns out. Thanks for your video.

  • @johnwisniewski8712
    @johnwisniewski8712 4 роки тому +11

    Looks great! If I could offer one small suggestion to anyone who wants to build this though..use exterior wood glue (ie titebond III) and the exterior screws. The joints will never weaken.

    OMG!! I have been wanting to do this for so long !! A tree just fell on our lower deck and crushed the couch which I felt was always small. And I said to myself, I would love to have a couch that is the whole leanth of the deck . But to buy one like you said, would cost an arm and a leg. My wife is currently looking for a replacement to match the rest of the set. Way more than yours. The only problem is we have opposite taste in almost everything. Not sure how it lasted 20 years!!😂😂. Anyway, wish me luck!!!

    Hi Megan, many thanks for posting this video. A friend asked if I could make her a bench to match a photo she'd found on the net. I found your video which was an almost identical design and built it today for her in 12 hours. The bench I made was a bit shorter than yours. Thanks so much for the inspiration.

    Very nice. One tip- when making things with dimensional lumber I like to cut the radius off the edges with a table saw. (If you have access to one) this helps makes them look less like 2 x 4’s.

  • @anthonywitman9934
    @anthonywitman9934 5 років тому +3

    This looks really good, just for next time using the pocket hole jig, always make your pocket holes on the face of the board into the end grain. Much stronger joint that way and much less chance of tear out. This is about a year old so you probably figured that out by now though. Very nice job!

  • @bfranklin1052
    @bfranklin1052 Рік тому

    I love how this turned out and that you modified the original plan. I don't see the plan in the description, though, or on their site, so maybe they don't have it anymore? I'll be now that you've done projects for years, you'd probably do more pocket-hole construction throughout. I think I would. With your great directions, I'm thinking of creating this for my deck! Thanks Megan from the past!

  • @liamalepta8003
    @liamalepta8003 2 роки тому

    Very nicely done. I've built many things with 2x4. Just a tip, use a counter sink with long drill bits on your cordless, to pre drill and set the screws, so much easier, doesn't wear out your cordless, also using quick set bits to change fast between screw tips and countersink. From experience, trying to drive a 2 1/4 screw into 2 2x4s is pretty tough.

  • @webcrawler3332
    @webcrawler3332 5 років тому +6

    Next time you use your Kreg Jig, you don’t need to have the board in its final place to drill the pocket hole. Also remove the jig to install the screw. For your first time it looks really good! I made a “U” shaped sectional using similar design. If I could post pics I would. Keep it up! 😁

    Needs a high back. Out of all the outside furniture I have seen being built they always have the short backs to them. They never make them to where you can lean back up against it at least make it level with the top of the head and maybe no further. other than that what a great bill I love it.😀😀😀😀

    Step 1: GET a set of sawhorses to put your boards on. Step 2: Build a chop saw table or go buy a B & D Workmate. Ha ha ha! I just can't bend down like you to work I guess. 😁😁😁 All joking aside, I really like it. Looks nice enough to use inside as well. Just thinking about your sanding. Personally, I think that I would have hit it sanding grits of 80 to 150 to 220. But again, that's just me. Really like the finish color. Ya done well!
