My dear Sam. You cannot always be torn in two. You will have to be one and whole for many years. You have so much to enjoy and to be and to do. Your part in the story will go on.
I wonder if it would work to build it kind of in reverse? Start with building the frame for each one of the four rectangles inside the bench, attach the boards while leaving them a bit long and them trim the ends with a track saw like you do for you geometric wood projects. Then you could attach the centre cross beams and frame pieces around those finished rectangles. Maybe it wouldn't work structurally for some reason, but it seems like it might help with the dodgy angles.
Looks really good, I think I would have put a rebate in the side pieces using a router, love the design and it has given me an idea for a bench I want to make.
I love that design you used for the top part with the triangles. Wish i could do that with my project but going to be hard on a bookcase that im making.
Great bench. That "charcoaling" is really cool (hot at the very moment). You had a successful fight with the warped wood. Thanks for being an inspiration. Stay safe and happy holidays.
Looks really great! Pocket holes on bottom not only looks better, they will not allow water in them, only spiders. Did you use galvanized nails? Otherwise will they not simply rust out quickly?
Hello, You inspired me to try to make this. Have you found that the way the chevron pieces are attached to the thin board frame that it is weak in any way. I am asking as i am a heavy person. I wouldn't want to break it. Me and the wife i am guessing are close to 500 lbs. most of it is me. Also can you tell me what brand of spar you used? Thank you. I think this bench is wonderful!
@@diyhuntress trebuchet seems impractical as it draws too much attention. A catapult you can easily hide behind your fences so better for sneak attacks. You would get a few views if you built a catapult.
Thank you so much! Absolutely! You can purchase most of the lumber in the sizes I cut them to for this project. I just had to mill my own because I had to use what the store had in stock. 😊
I want to build this Sam. It is so beautiful. Good job. One question -- how do you keep your Vans so clean? I can never keep my shoes clean in the shop.
Let me axe Ya a question SuperCat?? Would you consider doing the Shoosiobohn (I know I mis spelled it), only enough to show the grain a burnt & still have natural wood color showing. Is that technique named the same?? Just curious is all. Great build as always Homes. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!!
Wow! That is a beautiful bench! I love chevron furniture, but was always worried about the wood expansion. The spaces fixe that. Great idea! I have 2 questions: 1) Would you mind explaining why you put water on the wood between sanding? 2) Why do you use a urethane with cedar? Isn't it already weather resistant? Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thank you! I wet the grain because when you add a finish to raw wood, it can “raise the grain” or make the wood feel hairy. By raising the grain and knocking it down, it stops it from feeling hairy when you add the finish. As for the urethane, it helps keep the cedar tan - cedar naturally greys outdoors. Hope this helps!
I have the materials breakdown on my website (I know lumber price can vary by location). But, I spent a little less than $50 for the lumber for this project.
I am so in love with this bench! We’re having a massive spike in the county I live in so I’m not going anywhere but as soon as I can, I want to attempt something like this! Thank you!
Nice job, Sam. It is an attractive piece. Will you go back to work via Zoom or 'the old fashioned way'? At this point in time, my entire family is waiting to be told if they will be using Zoom or not. Have a good vacation. I'm looking forward to the new projects. Each of the latest projects seems to be better than the previous one. Stay safe.
Thank you! I’ve been working remotely since March. Not sure what’s to come after the summer. Thanks for all of the love! Best wishes to you and the family!
@@diyhuntress I'm new in your channel and i am not sure if you already had a project on making a some kind of a murphy table for kids that can be use as craft table or study table since the new normal for schooling now is online class. Hope you could make one in the future. Thanks.
Whoa! Stumbled on your channel as a beginner and this looks amazing!! But it might be too much of a challenge for me right now 😔. I would love to make this. (Btw, earned a new sub 😊)
So stoked you’re here! If you’re looking for a similar project to get your feet wet with - check out the chevron coffee table version I have on my channel. 😊
Do not stop making chevron projects. That is so nice.
DEAL!
Love the way this chevron bench turned out!!
cool project Sam, the tip to keep frame square is to secure offcut peice of wood corner to corner.
Chevron patterns in furniture and doors are the best!! (I think that's what drew me to your channel:) Keep up the lovely projects!
I’m obsessed - so happy you like them too! Thank you!
My dear Sam. You cannot always be torn in two. You will have to be one and whole for many years. You have so much to enjoy and to be and to do. Your part in the story will go on.
This is gorgeous..i would love this in dining table size for my deck
Another well executed project! It turned out great especially considering the challenges you had with the wood. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!
Looks great! Prior to watching the video, the photo looked like you had made metal legs, great technique with the wood burning!
So cool! That’s the look I was going for. Thank you!
I made your cedar table for my parents and they loved it. Might have to make this bench next.
This makes me so happy! 😍
This is perfect for our back verandah. Now I just need to wait until winter is over. Great work Sam!
Thank you! Hope you get to make one!

Look that’s an unique and awesome table!!

Ah! Do it! That’s the beauty of DIY projects. You do what works for you and your build. 😊
Awesome bench Sam! Looks great with the table!
Thank you!
I love that design you used for the top part with the triangles. Wish i could do that with my project but going to be hard on a bookcase that im making.
Thank you so much! You could probably do it if you nailed the chevron pattern to the sides of the bookcase after building! Just an idea! 😊
@@diyhuntress yeah but I plan on at least putting on one side my sister in law name that passed this year to remember her by.
What an amazing way to to honor her. So much love to you. 💞

Thanks for all of the love! You too!
What a beautiful project. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you so much!
Love the content. Would have loved if you linked to the coffee table in this video.
Didn’t realize the link was wrong. Fixed it up. Here’s the right one: ua-cam.com/video/Ufjr49AVZM0/v-deo.html 😊
Turned out great Sam! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks, Fred! You’re the best.
Hey beautiful , you are quite crafty
I bet your dad is proud of you 👍🏽
Keep up the good work sam
You got a new sub
Great bench, Sam. I may have to build one for my deck (maybe without the chevron - we'll see). Stay well. Bill
Thank you! Go for it! 🙌🏼
That looks great! Especially with the darker legs.
Thank you!
Do you run into any racking issues with the legs? Looks fantastic btw.
Looks really great!
Pocket holes on bottom not only looks better, they will not allow water in them, only spiders.
Did you use galvanized nails? Otherwise will they not simply rust out quickly?
Thank you! I do use galvanized for outdoor projects.
Looks great i like the chevron might make one of these myself,keep up the great content
Thank you! I’d love that!

Nice build and video! Beautiful bench. Warped lumber is frustrating. : ) Mahalo for sharing! : )
Thank you! It is, but made it work (somehow 😂)! Much love, friend!
cool bench looks Great keep it up
Thank you!
Nice and stylish project👏🏻🤙🏻😀
Thank you!
DIY Huntress nothing !👋🏻😀🤗
Beautiful.
Thank you!
That looks so good Sam! When are you making a Chevron deck? 😆
Thank you! Holy hell that sounds like a project and a half... 😂
Very awesome!!! Can you build a catapult next? I haven't seen anyone build one yet.
Thank you! Hahah - have you seen the trebuchet that Jackman Works built? It’s sick!
@@diyhuntress trebuchet seems impractical as it draws too much attention. A catapult you can easily hide behind your fences so better for sneak attacks. You would get a few views if you built a catapult.
Nice job Sam! Thank you for sharing the video with us!💖👍👌😎JP
Thank you! 😊
Your very welcome Sam! Have a great weekend!😎
Very nice!
Thank you! Hope you’re well!
super gemacht gefällt mir sehr gut 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
😊
Beautiful, I love the charcoaled legs
Thank you!
Hi, if I was doing this and it was so warm, I would just glue all the pieces on, let the glue set for a couple of hours and the turn it over and nail
That’s definitely an option! I was nervous it would t be enough pressure to hold tightly while curing.
Nice video love the bench
Thank you!
What an amazing bench! You’re so talented!! Keep up the amazing work 🙌🏻😊
Thank you so much! Kind of have a thing for building furniture... 🙈
DIY Huntress really? I hadn’t noticed haha
Quedo bonito 👌🏻👌🏻
You did a great job. It’s absolutely beautiful! Can this be made without a table saw? I don’t have one.
Thank you so much! Absolutely! You can purchase most of the lumber in the sizes I cut them to for this project. I just had to mill my own because I had to use what the store had in stock. 😊
DIY Huntress I am going to try to make one. I like the idea of it being a table for the hall by the front door.
I love that!
Juro que achei que era uma portinhola kkkk , mas pra banco , é uma ótima idéia , Amaral SP Brasil , parabéns , sou Hobista também ,,,
I love this!!
Thanks, love! 😍
its so beautiful and minimal :D
Thank you!
Wow Sam. That square is kinda small. I think you might need a bigger one.😊
😂😂😂 You know how this works - can never find what you need when you need it.
This looks amazing! ❤️
Thank you so much!
I want to build this Sam. It is so beautiful. Good job. One question -- how do you keep your Vans so clean? I can never keep my shoes clean in the shop.
Yess! Please do! I’d love that. These might be a new pair... I don’t remember. I replace my Vans a lot because I destroy them. 😂
@@diyhuntress Thanks for always replying. I also noticed you used the burn technique. I can't wait to build this.
Très joli travail bravo à bientôt salut Jeannot 🛠😉
Thank you!
Great video! I love the final product! What would you suggest instead of a nail gun?
Thank you! You could always just glue and clamp (or place a heavy object)!

Is that technique named the same?? Just curious is all. Great build as always Homes. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!!
You could torch and then sand a bit to keep the texture but show the grain! Hope all is well!
Newbie, love your work & channel.
Thank you! So happy you’re here!

So happy you found me too! Thank you!

DIY Huntress ugh sorry I’m a goof. Hadn’t checked out your website after watching the video. 🙊🙊

It looks like she’s replying to everyone so I just want to say I love all your videos
I try! Thank you so much! 😍
I feel your pain about the construction lumber quality. Getting it square can be a hassle.
Totally! But, was worth the frustration!

DIY Huntress sorry I replied late. Just came back from the job which we did some epoxy 👀 🔥. I’ll definitely check that video out!!! 🙌🏼
awesome job .......i love ..i m from Brazil kisses
Thank you!
So I just installed a patio in my home and not gonna lie, I'm kinda tempted to just make a couple of these instead of buying patio furniture.
Do ittt!
Parabéns top
Thank you!
Anyone else here from tik tok lol...i building this next weekend for sure!
YASS. Please share it with me when you’re done!
@@diyhuntress sure will
hi
Hello!
Psh that would have taken me a month haha
Ahah. Once you set up the miter saw for 45 degree cuts, it goes so fast!
gorgeous bench! love it.
Thank you!
First
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Nothing.
