How to build a small sturdy indoor /outdoor bench with Castle joints

this is a video about How to build a small indoor /outdoor bench with Castle joints. it was my first attempt to Castle joints. I used pallet wood and repurposed lumber. I carried the top using full discarded bed slats and pallet wood as well as crate wood. The legs were constructed from laminated 2x4s.
How to build a small indoor /outdoor bench with Castle joints was a fun build since it was my first time making Castle joints it wasn't as complex does it I thought and I think it came out pretty darn good and should last a long time because the joints are solid not to mention me adding three and a half inch screw through the center of the castle joint to commit everything together to make it even more solid. I started out by trimming the ends on The boards that I use for the top using the miter saw. from there I went to the jointer to take the cupping out of the boards, then I size them using the planer.

I really appreciate you showing that a nice piece can be made without $50000 worth of tools and $2000 worth of walnut. Awesome work!

I just found your channel and wanted to thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent. I usually only watch hand tool woodworking but the way you explain your process, I can relate to my work. I look forward to watching your videos and keep your videos coming. Thank you.

Thanks for posting. I started with recreating your castle joints in a desk of my own. You’re cool!

[@WoodShopStop]

You're welcome. Cool... I know the desk will be awesome. Thank you.

[@woodworkerchris1903]

I was wondering what would come of the castle joints from your Short video the other day - now we all know! Awesome project, I think it came out really nice!

[@WoodShopStop]

Thank you. It was a fun one, but they're all fun.

[@Andi.Mitchell.Designs]

Nice work sir. Thank you algorithm for sending me your video. Easy sub

[@WoodShopStop]

Thank you. Much appreciated.

You've got to love some good castle joints. Looks like if one weren't to glue the stretchers, the bench could be broken down for storage in a garden shed, or such.

[@WoodShopStop]

I hadn't thought of that, good one. Thanks for watching and the comment.

[@petrsidlo7614]

Its so refreshing to see someone use a brush for spreading glue instead of their fingers. I feel like half the people on youtube use their fingers and the other half use those rubber spreaders that give a few cents from affiliate links.

[@WoodShopStop]

Thank you. The brush seems to work so much better for me. When I'm done I just rinse it out. Thanks for watching.

How did you attach the top to the legs/runners?

[@WoodShopStop]

I initially wanted to use the z-clips, but screwed up and got the spacing off with the bisquet cutter. So I drilled and screwed it on. A more crude method and doesn't allow for a lot of movement. Thanks for watching and catching that I didn't show how I did the top attachment.

[@WoodShopStop]

I have other videos showing how to attach the table top with using z clips check out my desk videos and my side table videos.
