    That is amazing, I have to large pieces of live edge oak the I want to make in to a pair of benches but I couldn't decide on a design for the legs, now I do, I must ask though how did you fix the the seat down, I hope you read your messages as I wood ( ha ha excuse the pun ) really like to use the same technique.

    Good job. I don’t think I’ve seen the up right pieces for a bench like that, made from glued up wood together but, glue is strong and I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. Curious how that will hold up. Not talking junk at all, I swear. Just a new idea to me. I’d have assumed solid pieces would have been the go to.

    • @gerberdesignco
      @gerberdesignco  5 місяців тому

      Yeah it was a random idea I had that would be a lot easier to a novice diyer to be able to do. A lot of people seem to think that it’s not a good idea. But the actual weight is still in the side pieces not the added spacer. I gave it to a friend after I made it, and so far I havnt heard anything about it breaking. 👍🏼

      @@gerberdesignco hey man, like I said, if you know anything about woodworking, then you know that a lot of times the glued up joint is stronger than the physical wood itself. There’s a lot of evidence to prove that. So when I’m looking at this, although it seems a little bit unconventional, I can’t really tell you why it’s not gonna work. Good idea my friend.
