Built my first couple of projects with just a circular saw, drill, and sander. It's really all you need.
I need a bit more than that. Some squares, a knife, a couple chisels, a hammer, some hand planes. Clamps. I do like a hand saw too. That may explain why I happen to have dozens of them now.
Yeah! I got my first one with a drill, hand saw and hand sanding. Then got a router.
Yeah scott. Massive respect for not over engineering I mean building over engineered designs using simple tools. Great video!
AH, yes, the old saying: "Measure twice, cut once, glue together, measure twice again, cut once, deliberate on fasteners for the project, test 15 different stains with the wood, give up, use the same fasteners and stain you always use, assemble, realize you put a part in upside down or backwards, disassemble, curse when a part breaks because you glued it together to another part, scrap the broken parts, start over."
Or something like that.
Some really good tips in this one, especially given your use of construction lumber making this project very approachable. Nice video Scott!
And for those of us without huge muscles (I’m 70), there are wonderful small size circular saws out there. I love mine. Very doable!
These tools are almost exactly what I had starting out 18 years ago. I can actually remember being excited about the kreg parallel jig for my black and decker circular saw.
While it was great seeing someone teaching and creating with basic tools, I gotta say, I don't miss those days.
I do like the design of the chairs though, pending spouse approval, of course.
I always feel like a grandfather telling a "back in my day" story when I tell friends looking to get into woodworking that my first 5-6 projects were made with just a circular saw, drill, and hammer. It's a hobby you can do with very little. It's also super easy to balloon into several tens of thousands of dollars worth of tools haha!
Usually the more expensive tons just make it faster/more convenient. Lots to do with simple tools if you have the time!
Tip with how deep to countersink the screws is very useful! What I’ve sometimes done in the past is to drill the pilot holes, then drill the holes in the ‘top’ material wider so the screw can pass through fairly freely. Doing it your way would probably be much better for accuracy though, so I think I’ll do it like that from now on!
To fix the wiggle in the kreg jig: Buy some uhmw tape (very thin and low friction tape). Flip the guide plate over and put a layer or two on the side of the runners, making them thicker and sit tighter in the groove. Shouldn’t need to do this, but a great few dollar fix! Great video - as usual!
I couldn't believe the part where you used the hinges to hinge the thingy on the other thingy - pure magic
you're a revolutionary, scott, leave some for the rest of us would ya
displacing sarcasm now - well made video - thanks for the upload, I enjoyed it while not enjoying my job that I'm procrastinating against with said video
😂
Tip for finishing exterior furniture: Use exterior paint, dark paint base but without any colour. If you use the darkest available base it should dry clear but still provide all the benefits of exterior paint such as mold and mildew resistance, UV protection, etc. And it will last longer than oils or stains.
Loving the pompadour at the beginning (it suits you) and loved the tip about the screws. I’d never heard that before, but it makes complete logical sense, leading to a “d’oh!” moment for me. Great work!
Imagine having a fully equipped shop to only use basic tools for teaching purpose. Respect 🫡
Have you watched Paul Sellers?
Nice project Scott. Thanks. Take care & stay safe.
FYI: for anyone watching him use that Kreg track guide, and thinking I'm gonna get one. DONT, I bought one and ended up throwing it in the trash the first day. Its horrible.
20:08 Wooooww! Genuinely impressed that you know the difference between Sapience and Sentience! Everyone gets that totally wrong!
About the siding material: It is structural! I used it to build a storage shed specifically for this reason. The side with primer will hold up well against moisture. The other side will not. I recommend giving it a couple coats with an exterior primer or paint. Just make sure all the nooks and crannies are completely filled in. If you do so, you'll get a *lot* more life out of it.
Awesome project that is perfect for the inexperienced DYI'er !!!
I watch them all. Literally, all of them. You're my favorite out of everyone. Make more videos. Now.
This was pretty amazing, although simples to follow (and aside from the guide, using tools I ALREADY HAVE! Hell Yeah!)
Hell Yeah!
This is so easy to understand. I love how you highlight the parts on a drawing as you talk about them. It makes it so much easier to understand. Those slits in don't fill with water does the whole seat not fill with water when it rains?
Great video. I see people conflate want/need all the time. I’m a hobbyist, so I get by with a circular saw and cutting guides. If I was like you and cutting wood was my literal job, you better believe I would buy all kinds of tools to make that process faster and safer.
Why aren't you using Titebond III? Eliminates the problems with Gorilla Glue. Water cleanup and fully waterproof.
Well done. Those are the only tools I have and feel confident using. They all fit in one half of a garage and can do everything bigger machines do. Maybe a few holes in the bottom in case you do get water ingress. You glued it up tight and if you plan on storing those cushions inside when not in use I feel they might mildew along with rotting the wood. Anyways, nice project.
Nice! Definitely something I need to build soon. Since my old chairs are falling apart. Thanks.
I am so pleased you mentioned the “wiggle”. I get that but have never heard any reviews mention it. Thank you for confirming I’m not totally mad, lol.
Everybody loves a rhombus! But most people are super particular about only liking the kind with right angles.
Awesome build. I would have used reversed the orientation of the siding as the bottom, since the factory painted side is what usually comes in contact with water on the outside of a building and the ridges might let some water escape instead of just saturating under the chair
Excellent for us amateurs, more like this please!
Using Spruce to Spruce up... 😇
Nice build! I've recently noticed an uptick on other YT channels where they're focusing more on showing that you can build great projects with simple tools.
If you don't want to leave the screws (eg to make easier to reuse the wood for some reason), you could also unscrew them after the glue is cured and replace them with dowels?
I built my first large tv stand with three tools. I would suggest you to add a cheap electric hand plane to the list and save some time.
19:34 I love your logic 😂 great video especially for a limited amount of tools. Looking forward to the next one!
I have had both of those Kreg jugs. They work okay the first time or two I used them, but then after that they show just how cheap they are. They ruined so many pieced of wood that It was cheaper to buy a track saw than continue to use them. Especially the track. If I were to use any of the track guides it would be the miles craft version. Its sled actually is attached to the track and doesnt wobble in every direction like the kreg one does. I would highly recommend any one to avoid the kreg jigs for anything outside of generic breaking material down to use with a table saw later.
Yeah they're not amazing that's for sure. I used a bunch of tape to tighten up the track, but it wasn't perfect after that either.
Instead of polyurethane glue, why not use titebond 3?
I had to turn the video off at the gorilla glue part. Gorilla Glue, Never. Titebond 100% of the time.
Two thumbs up for the correct use of "sapient" rather than the more common, but incorrect, "sentient". Bravo!
Oh, and the furniture is nice too. 🙂
I didn't know there was a debate between sapient versus sentient, but I'm glad I did it right, hah.
Great Work !
@2:00 .... *trapezoid
the opposing sides of a rhombus (aka parallelogram) are parallel.
Peter Millard has tracksaw accuracy sorted. He's also evaluated a few cheap tracksaws.
Love the integrated storage!
Couldn't figure out what was different at first, but after a few minutes I realized it seemed to take on a more serious tone than usual because there's no music! In my opinion the music adds something, but I'm sure it takes effort to find and edit that all in so no worries. I'll still watch ;)
Just curious, what keeps rain from getting in the storage compartment if you don't have a cover on the chair, and how would the water get out? Might it be better to put slats on the bottom instead of a solid cover so if water does get in there it can drain out?
When you put the circular saw in the vice I started to worry you were about to do one of those horrendous Instagram fake table saw hacks. But I was wrong to doubt you.
lol i didn't think of that, that would've been great
Loved the tips, even learned a couple of things.
I love my Kreg saw track.
What type of tape do you put over the gap in your circular saw dust hood? I have the same model.
Hey man. Love your channel etc. etc.
Countersinking. Wouldn't wood screws with flat heads be better for the job? I imagine that screws with this standard cone head would have a tendency to loosen their grip over time.
I really like your over engineered projects. Where are the LEDs, arduinos, and servo-lifted seats?
Great example of what can be don’t with a little creativity and some grunt work. Wondering why Titebond 3 wasn’t your go to for the glue up? Seems like it’d have been easier to use and avoids some of the issues you mention with the polyurethane glue. Cheers.
You should include the sander and hand planer in the original description if you're going to be true-to-clickbait. Most newbies might have a screw gun and maybe circular saw, but all of the extra "goodies" are slow to acquire. Clamping cauls are also nice to have but the number (and quality) of the clamps you need to use them is also prohibitive. It's still impressive how much you can accomplish with just a circular saw and track, and these are great tips for consistent results.
With all sincire and desirved respect, but without armrests - it's not worse of making and buying plans. Patio chairs must be armchairs - it's an aksiom. Saying this - great-great vido, amazing tips and tricks. Thank you, really great job, just not great enough. Waiting for next projects to wow and critisize at the same time!
Really cool design and would look nice on my patio. How could I modify the design to include a foot rest?
Kind of off topic, but what's the go to literature that any aspiring and overly motivated woodworker needs to read? Any must haves that need to be in any woodshop? Im trying to start growing my general knowledge about woodworking past what UA-cam can teach me. Thanks in advance
Great video. Hope the trash pandas don't figure out the latch. Chances are there will be one in there sleeping next time you open it. 😂
yo man really good video but idk a drill a saw and a router are pretty much machines. i get the point but idk a little bit of constructive criticism. love your content!
Great idea, but PL400 is better for outdoor furniture. But thanks for posting.
"If I get it on my clothes, that's it they're done."
_Looks down at my shirt. Picks at the flat hard dots that cover it like dimes on the bottom of a mall fountain._
Am I just a slob?
first. love video idea
keep it up!
@3:45 Masti-chistic? Masti-chistic would be someone who get pleasure from *chewing*....Perhaps you mean Masochistic? LOL. Great video :)
Homie I'm intimidated by the price tag of owning a home where I could put this, let alone the cost of making one LOL but I love this design it's real good.
And here I thought you were going to use 9mm shell casings for plugs. :0)
I am all for paining outdoor furniture. It is so frustrating keeping wood looking good. Just deteriorates out there.
2:12 “No one likes a Rhombus”😢
Chairman of the Rhombus appreciation society….Hold my beer….at a funny angle
beer subsequently spills
I think he meant a trapezoid or an irregular polygon. I generally don't care about parallel edges until I do the final dimensioning of the panel. Squeezing parallel boards together often doesn't produce parallel panels.
Interesting tidbits
What brand is the apron your using?
I mean, you kind of built the whole project with the three tools in the opener. Is opener-bait a thing now? I dunno Scott, kind of a slippery slope.
Oops, did you cut into your track at 10:08?
Spritzing that water with the cast iron behind it gave me anxiety
7:50
.... Should we tell him about the longer screws they sell?
I kid, I like the everyday approach- using what ya have or is available at ease... THumbs up from me!
lol yeah i know what you mean. iirc I think they were 3-1/2" screws already and I can't imagine I would gain much strength by going any longer
@@ScottWalshWoodworking I doubt it would have added any more strength at all. they have 5 and 6 inch screws with the same diameter head, but in all reality, if you don't have them on hand already, you would have spent more time going to the store to get them and coming back then you spent drilling a recessed hole.
Awesome build BTW, I love 2x4 builds and furniture- its more impressive turning store-bought 2x home depot lumber into something than it it seeing someone spend $1000 bucks on already great lumber and turning it into something.
Had a normal title, changed to some bs the next day - good job!
Doing a project with only basic tools, but then grabs a Mirka Deros sander worth more than all the other tools together 😅
11:08 You really should do something about your shop vac needs, it is not like you made a video about a super shop vac solution...
Ah nvm, guess you addressed that :P
What'd you say about my boy Rhombus?
What is the drill bit you are using at 15:11?
everything is in the description
@@ScottWalshWoodworking Thanks. Don't know how I missed that given that you're so organized! Well...more organized than me anyways!
The granny knot on the apron ties is triggering me.
Is "dead nuts" more, less, or equal to "dead on balls" accurate? Asking for a friend.
I love it when YT woodworkers say they are going to build something using just a couple common tools and then proceed to use more tools and/or expensive accessories not included in their limited toolset to complete the project, frequently without demonstrating the use of nothing but their limited set of tools.
I have enough experience and have watched enough videos to know of alternatives but also know that some less experienced or cost constrained people are going to be turned off early in the video, and the more emotional ones will even get upset, when you start whipping out said extra tools and accessories, including the different size bearings for your rabbeting bit, which at the box stores don’t come in a starter set of router bits but only come with a separate rabbeting bit set and that special set is ~$30 by itself.
It would be much better for retaining new viewers to actually ONLY use the tools you list as your constrained set, at least for a while. Don’t even mention or start using the extra tools or accessories that cost extra. Show how to make or kludge together the basic tools and helpers before even introducing the extra tools that make life easier and/or more accurate, including the router bearing set.
Just to make it clear, you grab a newbie’s attention by listing out a drill, circular saw and router but then end up actually using those things plus an expensive sander, a $100 circ saw track, a $40 circ saw sled, an expensive plane and a $30 rabbeting bit with different size bearings that don’t come with a generic set of starter router bit sets and even something that anyone should have… a couple clamps.
It would be better to include a cheap MDF/melamine shelf or long level in your basic tools for cutting straight edges and either 2 or 4 cheap clamps. Don’t even mention anything else until demonstrating the use of those tools to complete a couple tasks, including using a block of wood to make a sanding block and using the shelf or level to make an effective straight edge and parallel edge guides. A lot of people aren’t ever going to fork out the money for a saw track set or guide sled or a special rabbeting bit that includes different size bearings.
BTW, the OSB T1-11 probably isn’t going to last more than 1 season, keep the painted side up like you did since rain and sprinkler water will come through the seat, but sink it higher in the bottom so it isn’t in contact with the ground or preferably even anything but taller grass until the grass underneath it dies off. Also drill a couple holes in it to allow water to exit it or it will pool up in the box causing it all to rot faster and also make whatever you put in it to get soggy. I’d also put a piece of T1-11 directly under the seat bottom to limit any water getting into the box at all but obviously don’t drill any holes in it but do put a couple holes or channels in the back of the seat to allow water to slough off of it limiting the amount of water that runs around it into the box.

I'm sorry, this was a very disingenuous comment. I embrace all quadrilaterals and in fact do not have any gang affiliations
With all of that wood dust flying around hope you are wearing a dust mask. It doesn't appear so in your video. Lung ailments will await you, my friend.

Did you know that water is carcinogenic? Plus what fish do in water is disgusting!
