  • Today I'll show you How To Build this Modern Sofa / Couch completely out of ¾” thick plywood. I used bamboo plywood but any furniture grade plywood will work. This is also a limited tools project and all cuts were made with just a circular saw and jigsaw.

    The Simple Cushion Company
    Launching The Simple Cushion Co. is something we've been working on for a long time and I'm happy to provide a product that I've wanted as a DIY'er / woodworker. Repurposing old cushions, using a mattress, or settling for scratchy outdoor furniture cushions have been the 'standard' for handmade sofas and daybeds, and custom upholstery is expensive. The goal for Simple Cushions is simple :) to enable makers to build a sofa, couch, or daybed without compromising on cushions. we've got multiple sizes and covers:

      Yeah, sometimes it takes a second to understand which cut is being made in a woodworking video. It’s not a huge deal, but for a visual person the context does help put the pieces together.

    I'm well on this DIY couch train. I just worry about the cushions slipping. Probably okay for adults, but i've got 4 grommets that do somersaults and flips on the couch, or watch movies upside hanging off the edges. Any thoughts on how to secure the cushions? a small cleat at the front? ties? velcro? Or maybe this just isn't the design for me.
    Love the work man, thanks for the vids.

  • @samrhoades5088
    @samrhoades5088 3 роки тому +1

    Wouldn't the cushions just slide off the sofa as you lean back? I guess you could put in some front strips to stop this from happening, or something the connects to the bottom of the cushion without sacrificing comfort.

    How much are you paying for each sheet of bamboo plywood? I'm seeing over $200 / 3/4" panel, does that sounds right? The edges are very interesting. Much more of a high end look than normal plywood. It's beautiful wood, but woof, that price. All in with the cushions you are about $700 on materials, right?

      more expensive but varies dependingon how many sheets you buy. I have paid between $140-$220. that's a lot but with sanded pine plywood at $64 a sheet it doesn't seem as bad to me.

    cushions are the difficult part, indeed. Me and my wife made our own sofa. My design, my woodworking. she made the cushions. It cost about $250 for decent quality material (stuffing, batting, fabric, ect).wood was probably $150. redesigned/fixed things 3 times to get right. Took probably a combined 40hrs of work. Not an easy task to make something that's comfortable, good quality, and good looking.
