![$30 Outdoor Bench with Back [Only 3 Tools and 30mins]](/img/n.gif)
Came for the bench, stayed for the head reveal. Great project man!
Same! As a fellow bald man I was stoked for the anticipation.
Came out awesome!!!! The blurry head was the best part lol
Great film, so entertaining. Never understood why you wear hats, great gag. Love George Nelson designs. Awesome bench and cool use of 2x4s. Mahalo for sharing! : )
YEEESSSSSS Sand in the Place is back. Love the nod to history.
Another winner, David! Thank you for blotting out the area that minors should not ever see, your bare dome.
I never knew “pair of rings” was an original! This is always my favorite song in your videos and knowing you wrote and recorded it makes it that much better!
Dadoes scare the crap out of me, too. You knocked them out like a champ! Great project, David.
For those worried about using 2by's for an outdoor bench/table or whatever and worried that it won't last, I made an outdoor workbench 7 or 8 years ago and it's still in great shape. Mine has regular 2x4's for the top and I used 4x4 fence posts for the legs. I use this table to do sanding, painting, grinding and cutting metal. When I made it I primed and painted but I think this year I'll do a quick sand of just the top and another coat or two of paint to clean it up. I love sanding on it because all that dust stays out of my shop.
Soooo the top of your head is blurred?🤣🤣🤣 Be bald and proud!!!🤣
He must fallen asleep and someone drew a penis with permanent marker.
You know, he probably has some male friends.
Maybe he had a logo like Bob’s vehicle.
He didn't blur it, it just wouldn't focus
Thé reason I subscribed to this channel. Genius
The top recommended related video shows his bald head as he's holding a saw blade up to it
The Discord is great! Such nice people.
Right?!?!?!!! ❤️
Such a beautiful noggin. Love the build.
Nice bench. Your shop whoever is ridiculously clean.
Beautiful job, I made a bench out of 2x4s a year or two ago and agree once you mill them up, they look pretty great. Also as a fellow baldy, love the blurred bald head :)
I lost it when i saw the head pixelation!
Dave I am digging your dirty laundry!
I love seeing the HF clamps...
I can't remember if I commented this before, forgive me if I have. You seem MUCH less rushed and happier in the videos these days, and I'm very happy about that.
The Sunday kit should come with that sample cup and stir stick!
Finally, another sponsor! I was starting to get worried they’d all abandoned you. I did Sunday last year. Great results…when I sprayed. I was very bad at keeping up with it lol
So I am watching your video in the living room and Joan is in the kitchen prepping for dinner - and she yells out, "Is that David? I can tell by the voice." Thanks for sharing the build as I didn't have to get my shop dirty. LOL!
haha! YES!
your pixelated head is quite funny. Love your humor even on the subtle side.
Nice build this week, old school sanding this week :)
I need 2 stop blocks now. Thanks. Good video...
Mighty EXPENSIVE. 2X4s here in central TEXAS cost $16 for an 18ft 2x4. B4 COVID they cost $2.19. Like the idea and it looks great.
Once again king David
4:00 BALLLLLLDDDD
making me really want to make a few of these! they look great! awesome video as usual dave.
That bench will last for many, many years. You'll get bored before it goes bad. I made benches for our backyard once out of stock pine and gave them one coat of deck stain. I had good intentions of recoating in subsequent years but never got around it it. Those benches lasted 15 years! (That's Toledo climate, BTW)
Good to know! Thanks!
I've been planning to build a new simple desk for my office with butcher block top but butcher block tops are too expensive. I've been thinking about making my own from 2x6 raw material. I don't have jointer or planer or bandsaw, I'm thinking I can cut the boards to 2' and 4' lengths to get rid of the worst of the warps, rip them down the center and then rip off the 2 edges. Then glue them together and belt sand the top.
lol the head blur, i am going to need one soon myself
Great job Dave 👍 🪚
Awesome little bench, I love it. You should make an apron next!
(Day-do, not dad-o. :) also, dados on the end of a board are rabbets.)
Great video, one question… why is your head pixelated ???
the blurred noggin hahaha
Thanks for the video. I wasn’t interested in that bench but I figured I would give it a watch to see how you did it. The end result was impressive. I now would like to make something similar or even make one of these to sell. But I don’t have a dado, daddio or how ever you pronounce it lol. And I really don’t want to buy one. I only have one table saw and from what I’ve seen, the set up on a dado stack is a pain. What do you think of those jigs they make for this? I’m with you, they scare me. I have no issues working on my router table but that palm router is a bit scary. I’m wondering if you can use one of those jugs on the router table. I haven’t looked into it as you can see. Again, thanks for the video.
Nice bench. looks swell considering it's from cls timber. Thanks to UK law dado stacks are permitted.
So, from what I see on your video after milling it looked like you were left with one-by lumber. About how much did you have to take off.
The blur on your head has me losing my shit 😂😂😂
Also…love the bench!
0:57 Is that a new Picciuto-track? You should have that guy on the channel sometime with all the music he's writing for you :)
New to your channel! Love your videos. Just wondering why you pixelate your head?
Needs more purple paint.
Why was your scalp pixelated out in parts of the video
probably already said but doing a dado cut make the kickback issue - not really so much an issue. Still better to safe than sorry though
Why did you use 2x4's in lieu of 1x material?? My local big box store has select pine that would not have had to be milled down to the dimensiones you used.......
David,
Quick Q. Do you use the 2x4s right away or do you store them for a while before using them?
Right away. I find they warp even more over time.
@@MakeSomething Right on. Thanks.
When I won't be using the 2x4s immediately, I have had good luck clamping them to my workbench (with stickers between the boards) while they acclimate to my shop.
Oh, great tip!
depends how much moisture they have. if you dont have a moisture meter try sanding and you'll be able to tell if they are too wet as they wont sand well.
3:55 - I'm confused about the censor, did your cap have a seam that left an indent in your head that made it look like a...um...Richard head? c==3
Coz that happens to me often
Only Patreon members get to see my bare brains. 😜
I'm interested to hear that the dado stack scares you. Everyone has some tool that they grudgingly use - for me it's free hand routing. I'm not crazy about grinders either. In both cases, i'm constantly anticipating the bit / disc exploding and embedding itself in my head / neck / chest / and face.
I find fear of a tool or technique healthy and keeps me aware.
2x4s are expensive! Probably would be easier and cheaper out of anything else 😜😂. I made one early project from 2x4s...and that was enough to not do it again 👍
I missed the "sand in the place where you live" thing. 😅
What's up with your head man :D
How many 2x4s did you use? I can fit 8 in my car. Would this be a one trip or two trip project?
I can't recall. Definitely less than 8.
Selecting 2x4s is an agonizing process at a home center if you actually care about lumber. How many hours did you spend?
I too wear a hat because of minecraft head 🤣😅🤣😅
HAHAHAHA!!
For those who care: use a high quality spray in wax for your table. You're welcome.
This is like $500 worth of wood lol
Why’s your head look like a pix? Lol
i like everything in the video except the monster on your t-shirt. its weird.
Why on earth was your bald head being pixelated at a few sections of the video?
I'm sure the project will stand up fine.
It's 'Dado' not 'Dado'
Sometimes I say "dado'.
This comment is less at you and more directed at Woodworking UA-cam in general, but: I got pretty excited when I saw the title - I have lots of 2x4's! I can do this project! ...and then you ran the wood through a planer, jointer, table saw, etc etc etc. As someone who's just starting out in woodworking, I don't have any of those tools, much less a dedicated workspace, and yet every single woodworking video here on UA-cam starts out this way. It's a bit disheartening and maybe even somewhat disingenuous. Sure I could make an outdoor bench using cheap 2x4, guess I just need a couple thousand in tools in order to do it. At the end of the day, it's very much making me want to never do this again and sell the few tools I do have, and I say that as someone who's just put together a really, really, really rough shelving unit using 2x4's. I'm sure there are ways to plane and joint wood without a planer, jointer, and table saw - not that I'm aware of them with my limited knowledge. Signed, a frustrated wannabe woodworker.
Curious as to why you woodworkers cry about lumber from the home center? Is it not where we all get ours? If you buy any lumber finished, you have to pay more for it....that's just the way it works.
Correct. I enjoyed the challenge. Not sure I was crying. 😎
Wood from the home centers is usually for construction purposes, not for furniture building. If you were really going to build a quality piece of furniture, even out of pine, the quality of furniture grade material is much better than construction grade material, and yes, you'll pay for that difference.
Dave, I believe its proper name is the Daddio Stack. Named after the famed blues musician Alotta Blades.
Use 2x8s instead and rip them to width. You'll have better quality wood to select from (in most cases)
lmao talk about out of touch. folks cant even afford 2x4s and these bezos types out there buying 2x8s to cut them in half.
@@saxplayingcompnerd uhm... It's actually cheaper to buy a 2x8 to cut into two 2x4s than it is to just buy two 2x4s. Also he never mentioned it even being a cheaper option. He is stating that the boards are more likely to be of better quality (straighter, less knots...) because they use better quality parts of the trees to make the wider boards. Which to most would even be worth being slightly more expensive. You'll have way less waste from trying to mill the boards flat and you won't spend nearly as much time milling either. A little research would do you some good.
@@christophermacier at my homedepot, a 2x8x8 is three times the price of a 2x4x8
@@artvandelay7537 Make sure you're comparing the same grade of lumber. HD here is $17 for a 2x8x8 and $10 for a 2x4x8 for Douglas fir
Came here to say the same thing😀. Great minds think alike 👍
For those wondering, the top of Dave's head is the witness protection program😏
That's what, like $10,000 worth of 2x4s?😅
At least and it takes you well over four hours to sort through the stacks in order to find that many fairly straight ones!
I love that you make your own music for your videos, adds a really nice unique touch :) Also, cool bench :)
Can you imagine someone trying to put a copyright claim on the music
Thank you for the pixelation, some of us with more delicate constitutions can only handle looking at so much exposed skin.
Oh, so that's the deal. David did not want to offend the sensitive in his audience by showing too much skin. That was very thoughtful of him!
Even marine varnish doesn't last forever. No matter the wood or the finish, you're going to be touching it up once a year. Unnecessary pixelation ftw here. 😁 Great design that looks good and uses uncomplicated joinery. Thanks for sharing!
I can't get over the blurred melon, way too funny!
David is a man of mystery!!

Waaaaaiiiiiitasec! Is the sponsor why you've kept the tentative title for so long?
@@WimPrest Haha! Totally unrelated!
Yeah I definitely wasn’t aware that 2x4’s could actually look nice like that, super cool project my sister would love something like that for her garden!
im in the UK and the cheapest timber you can buy here really are 13ft scaffold boards. after they have been milled they look surprisingly good
Killing me with the bald blur, man. Now I want to have my bald blurred in real life.
As an art welder, I’m thinking of how to make this using steel 😂 of course it’d be heavy as hell.
That would be amazing!!
11:59 that looked wrong 😂
VERY familiar with Herman Miller chairs. Their Aaron chair is likely their magnum opus...it's in almost ALL the sci-fi shows and movies AND they look amazing. I prefer Steelcase as a brand for comfort but nothing LOOKS like a Herman Miller.
Fantastic work, Dave! It turned out amazing! 😃
I'm definitely going to make something like that in the future!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Ah Dave, I lost my sh$t on that head blur! Thanks for laugh! I love everything you do man keep it up!
Day-doh? Dad-oh?? Either way, great video!!!
You can use your fence with the miter gauge on non thru cuts. Especially datto cuts
Haha, the blur 😆
Done a lot of 2x4 and 2x8 digging lately. About 1 in 12 of them were decent enough to use for work benches.
I love my vintage Herman miller chairs. Its getting really hard to do but I loved going into old offices and finding gems. I'm actually trying my first new chair from them, the embody is on its way.
08-04-22 I don't know how old this video is but your link to the getsunday site does not work.
My Lowes sells cedar 2X4’s. The price isn’t too bad.
Compared to what........the price of a used Tesla?
Very cool project. Looks great. Love your cinematography
Good video & build, BUT I feel the legs are just not in synch & perspective with the good looking top. Just toooooo darn bulky of a bottom. Kind of like a giraffe with hippo legs. But, good video. 👍
Awhile ago I was with my brother at a HD. I was checking 2x4's. I found one that was perfect. It didn't have a twist, a crown or a bend. I told him I almost hate to use it.
Why is everything but the top of your head in focus? It looks like your baldness has the digital distortion effect that they use to conceal people's identity. And it goes away when you're wearing a hat.
Thanks for the censorship; I don't know what I would have done if you didn't lol. Great vid/work y'all!
Try Tamarack you're not likely to find it at the lumber yards or box stores but the Amish seem to have it, very rot and decay resistant also affordable.
The sponsor is out of touch with the state of Lake Meade, etc.
3:55 hahahaha the censoring on your head. lololol
Laquer isn't going to fare well on pine outdoors. I speak from experience. lol
The censoring KILLED ME 😂😂😂
bro whos gona spend $30,000 on a bench.
whatcha mean?
@@MakeSomething all those 2x4s
Ha! I feel silly for asking now yeah, for real!
Low tech solution from a fellow chrome dome: A hat that says NSFW.
What about using pressure treated?
i believe the correct pronunciation is "daddy-o stack" :D
lol with the head pixilation. 😂😂
would you prefer to use a router table for those finger joints?
