So creative . Love it.
I love your design. and since I'm an interiordesigner and minimalist at heart your furniture are perfect for my style. it's hard to find unique minimal pieces and I'm from Jamaica and the culture here is very different. you inspired me and I'm happy you are doing this for people like me and others. thank you.
Parez Morris I'm Jamaican also. I'm making my own furniture because everything that I like is super expensive and I don't want my home to look like the traditional Jamaican home.......aka pack every inch with huge, bulky furniture...still holding onto the old European way.
Using plywood to make plywood. :) I love it! Great design. I bet it is both super heavy and super sturdy.
Really love the idea of plywood beams!! Since plywood is so flat and you used your super nice saw blade there is no need for a planner or router making this accessable to so many people :) Also plans look great!!
I had such a visceral to your work up until recently, I thought your scale was too small and your materials too simple. I still watched every video. It was great to hear about your background from the podcast and how you determined your materials you use in your projects. Thanks!
I like a larger seat space, and a shorter back in my modern style, but I really like your use of plywood "stacks." Cool!
One of the best tutorials ever. Great format & editing - direct and to the point.
I saw this earlier this year on his Instagram, and couldn't wait for the video it looks great can't wait to see what is coming next!!
Great design, and I love that the plywood construction makes this more "doable" for people without a lot of professional equipment or a real workroom. And it would probably be easy to make a similar design that can be converted into a guest bed.
Really great method for doing the leather around the cushion, Ben! Good video!
this is a really good method, we get bamboo delivers and to protect it the company sandwiches them between chip board, i often rip strips of it and glue it up to make work shop cabinets and doors, really strong and looks cool, nice one dude
it's really interesting that you never run out of new ideas. keep creating!
Not for my place, but man, I love the design of this sofa! Great job
Really cool project ! I really like that kind of design where you just add layers together and they interlock to create the joints !!
Cara, parabéns sem palavras pelo seu trabalho, moro numa região em que há muitos alagamentos e enchentes, a forma como vc conduz seu trabalho é EXCELENTE!!!! O fato de disponibilizar tudo em seu site, para que qualquer um possa replicar é FANTASTICO alem de BARATO. Concluindo. SEU TRABALHO É INOVADOR-DESIGN FORA DE SERIE - INTELIGENTE - RAPIDO- PRATICO e acima de tudo vc é de um EDUCAÇÃO E SENSIBILIDADE UNA!!!! PARABÉNS!!!!!!!
Good Work, a video has to watch several times
I love the design and how simple it is!
Thatt looks sofa king heavy! Awesome build love it!!!
You should build a cat tree playground thingy that doesnt look as horrid as the pet shop ones. pretty please!!
I like the built in end-tables this design has.
Nice! I'm happy to see more stacking going on.
Awesome project. Nice way to reuse the footage of the leather work from the zigzag sofa too! It was only when the dog walked across I noticed! 😂 Hey no point reinventing the wheel! The end result is really cool looking. Clean and modern.
I am not really into DIY, but this was so interesting, enough to get me into it.
I don't have much space but like the concept as a chair with the sides which would eliminate the need for side tables etc.
exactly, maximizing on minimal space
I really focused on sofa till the frenchy came to the scene. Than it all came to thinking about that cute bulldog. French bulldog obsessed 🐶 😍
this is quite similar to another build
He used the same clips to the leather.
Hey man....great project!!!
Just a thought: maybe the back rest could be foldable and rest on the seat to transform the sofa into a bed...
Keep up whit the nice work...
That's really awesome man!
Love this simplistic design...
Those cushions look mighty familiar !!!
Bad Azz Yo !
Freaking love this man!! Simple, elegant and affordable!!! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Nice design ben! Looks a bit japanese so long and close to the floor!
Question for you. If someone hefty were to sit dead center. Would the wood not begin to bend without a slat in the center extending from the front to the back to help prevent it from bending?
love this design
Nice work Ben. That's a pretty amazing design!
Love this one!
This is a more sleek design than the previous sofa.
Hi Ben, I found your videos a couple of years ago and have fallen in love with the idea of making my own furniture. But I have no idea where to start. What tools should I buy first? What projects should I start out with to help teach me the basics? Could you possibly do a video about where to start from nothing? Thank you for your videos.
Love the video and creativity. Keep inspiring us
You should've made some sort of hook or tie to connect the upholstery to the wood frame to prevent sliding. Nice build though
Great job my friend.
I really like your videos and I was wondering if you could possibly show us how to make a leather press? I was looking through youtube and I didn't find any videos on how to make one but there were videos on how to use one.
Cool, wonderful job! loved it!
I really like this design.. is it possible some how to turn it into like a fold-down the bed?
Joe basement woodworking "get hands dirty" on youtube has a really nice sofa bed build that you should check out!
YES!! I was thinking the exact same thing.
Joe basement woodworking that's what I thought, too! It almost screams convertable...I'm sure it could easily be done - the plywood construction let's you play around with the design at will, after all. It's almost like building a lego bedcouch ☺
Rara Avis that's true about the plywood and funny you say that about the Legos cuz when I was watching the video it made me think of Legos LOL
Rara Avis could even cut a couple cup holders into the sides possibilities for this are almost endless
Great project. I like the way it is so straight forward. Can this design be extended to a three seater? If yes, what would be the things to consider?
Love this sofa!!!
Nice job! I saw what you did there with the cushion tho, I have seen that before ;)
yes same cushions from the zig zag sofa
fantastic...and so simple!!!
looks great. i love it!
genius! fantastic!
l love the design of this new sofa but I'm not a fan of the déjà vu part of the video. With that said, coming up with a new brillant idea every week is very challenging, so no worries... Keep up the good work :-)
very nice but you should tell the distances and all in the metric system too. in cm,mm and stuff...
Nice job brother, i want to see more this videos like this
it looks very nice!!!
Seriously great! Thanks Ben!
Add cup holders
Hi there from Portugal,
Nice Sofa :D
Obrigado(Thanks)
thanks for watching!
Good thing to have a sofa for those 4 ton surprise visitors!
wow!!! absolutely beautiful and clean looking. I love it. how much would you say it would cost just for materials, including the leather?
Yes! these are the same cushions as the ones on the Zig Zag Sofa: ua-cam.com/video/kibNILjgORE/v-deo.html
I've seen a lot of videos of people making sofas. Many, like this one, look good and would probably be comfortable sitting on for short periods. But has anyone ever been able to make one that you could actually use to replace a nice comfortable sofa? My sofa was over $1,000. The cushions have some kind of spring system. I can lay down and easily get a good nights' sleep on it. These DIY sofas have very little padding and remind me more of a Walmart futon.
I don't know how you would do it... can you buy really nice cushions?... but has anyone seen a really nice DIY sofa video?
Colin Green you could always buy the large outdoor furniture cushions from lowes or Home Depot. They are super thick, would last longer, And might be more comfy.
Yeah, that might be better. I just thought I'd put the question out there because I thought surely I'm not the only one who sees these sofas and thinks I wouldn't want it in my home to lay down on and watch TV.
Is your sofa an armless one?
Just looking at this, am thinking wow could use this as a bed by making the headboard so it lies flat, what about giving my idea a go?
Cool! How long do you wait till glue become strong and you become to glue next level? Do you polish plywood before adding second coat of lacquer?
this is amazing!
Je trouve ça super!!
Beautiful! I want for my cat's room
this is sweet!!
Great one
SUPER COOL!!!
Hope instructions are posted soon!
will give an update when posted!
thats awesome!!!
That's one big ass piece of leather, btw. I've had the opportunity to shop in actual leather stores in the past but I've never seen hides quite as big. Maybe because they were geared more towards fashion than furniture designers... but still...that must have been a mighty big cow...😮
Fantastic!!!
Very well done. How much was the wood and leather?
Fantastic
Amei muito lindo mesmo.
brilliant
Your channel is awesome!!!!👍👌

Would love to see a futon version of this.

AMAZING

Build a modern loft from wood
W4M33DH I think wood hasn't become old yet!
vamsi r It is old, but cheap, easy to cut, its appearance is more beautiful than iron and light weight also. Do you suggest a better material than wood?
muy bueno
Perfect!!!
nice couch ben. can you build a dog house or a cat tree? thx
can also we making storage below the seating??
would you do a concrete and resin project?
Did you share the link for the foam? I saw the Tandy links for the leather. Thanks.
Do you have a diy Murphy bed video?
Did you put that saw blade on backwards?
muito bom
What kind of blade did you use for your circular saw?
Please do a Tutorial on a couch for tall people.
