How to build a DIY 2x4 Sofa for $160!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- This week I built DIY finger joint indoor / outdoor sofa out of 2x4’s that breaks down and assembles easily. This simple DIY 2x4 sofa is built using a clever and unique design with removable end tables. I used accessible tools, and DIY techniques to create this sofa, and the whole thing slots together using the joints and friction. 2x4’s are back to normal prices so its the perfect time to build this DIY 2x4 finger jointed indoor/outdoor sofa using limited tools.

Jonny - I just built this sofa. Beautiful design, but definitely needed fasteners throughout the entire build. Maybe I didn’t glue it down well, but the sections kept falling apart on me.
I also added 2 boards to run across the top.
Let me know if you would like to see my build.
The first half of the ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGMDiJ book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.
I don't see the free plans
Hey Jonny, did you finish the plans? If not can you give us a cutting list instead?
I built this with my ten and twelve year old granddaughters for their parents for Christmas. It turned out gorgeous! Thank you! 0:25
Where can I find the build plans? Thanks
dude, This is next level, those assembly shots with everything interlocking is sweet!!
It is! Where are the plans?
@@bretwidman1592 good question
I like the design a lot and I really like the concept. Rounding the edges is what makes it - great touch!
The only thing I would change would be to use the same vertical slat arrangement for the seat - as opposed to the slats laid flat - to increase rigidity but also have a more robust front look that the skirt offers
Such a cool build Jonny! And the last minute edition of those shelves was brilliant! I am so glad "2x4 Season" is back! 😉
free plans????? Where. love this
I was on the 3 minute mark grabbed a beer and you were already halfway done, you make it look easy man. Really want to try this as my first couch with no prior knowledge has no “bouncing” or springs/elastic
I love that it’s modular but fits so snug so u don’t worry about it falling apart. Definitely going to building this for the new home. Thank u so much
What an amazing idea for a simple bench sofa that anyone could build with simple tools and skills it’s such a beauty of a sofa
Finally, 2x4 season is back!!
Does anyone know how to find the plans? Or maybe a cut list?
my toxic trait is thinking i can do this smh
lol same!
Honestly go for it! You’ll learn a lot and at the end I’m sure you’ll be surprised that you can do it. Just if you do, measure twice cut once
2x4 Season has begun. Such a simple design and perfect for if you need to move as it comes apart. The addition of the slot in end tables is what sets it apart in my view. A nice touch.
The disassembly option is nice. So you can store it in winter
2x4 season!! I’m ready to make this one.
"2x4 Season!" Awesome job and great video. Keep up em coming...
This is fantastic - thanks for sharing. Ideas I would consider as I want this for outdoor use: for the seat bottom - don't add the extra board in-between, but maybe close up spacing between boards a bit. Then similar for seat back, just using your finger jointing, but step back the boards to go up on the angle and the you would not need the back brace. It does mean the sides would not be all the same length, but as you did when you assembled, marked and cut, you could cut those too (just ideas). I really appreciate the motivation! Our wood prices are still a bit crazy, so when I finally get to make this, I will definitely tag you!
So grateful that ‘2x4 season’ is returning.
Awesome couch though it doesn’t exactly
Fit our esthetic which is more
Family attic.
This is exactly the kind of (ideas) sofa, and other things, I would make, if I was a carpenter. And now thanks to you, sims not so impossible, even when I don't have a workshop of my one. Furthermore, if you, at some point, don't want the sofa anymore, you can use the component peaces for something totally different. Brilliant idea with this sofa! Very well done!
The only thing I may be doing different, is that I may't be choosing the sitting cushion a bit thicker.
Nice build to kick off the new 2 x 4 Season...
Nice looking sofa and the end tables are a cool idea. So happy that 2x4 season is back!!
rounding off all the edges made it look great...... Nice Civivi box opener!!!
2x4 season.
Gorgeous build! The cushions are absolutely perfect!
I'm looking forward to you publishing the plans. My daughter wants me to build a couple of these modified to 8' for her outdoor living space. It will be quite a project. If nothing shows in the next week or so, I'll extrapolate the measurements from the video. Thanks for your great projects.
Sorry about the delay. Plans are coming but this is my busiest time of the year. Hopefully they’ll be up in the next week!
@@JonnyBuilds Still no plans. I was planning on building a modification of this for my living room, since I can't find anything pre-made that's tall enough, or strong enough (I'm a pretty big dude)
2 X 4 season for sure. A great build for a porch or patio. Thanks for sharing.
Could you highlight the plans for me please so I may look them over? Thank you! Looks great! Definitely thinking as a summer project!
You made 2x4 furniture look stylish and modern. Wow!
This reminds me of my wife's and mine first set of furniture from a N.C. company- "This End Up" that at one time was the rage in beginner families.
Hi Jonny. Excellent work. however, I eagerly await the detailed build plans. I am in Nrb, Kenya. I need to make this seat like yesterday.
That removable tray is what makes the difference. Great video and build
"2x4 season "
Great couch for the patio or bachelor pad!
When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was a convertible sofa/sleeper. Would love to see a version of this that lays back flat for a bed as well.
I'm already thinking of ways to do that...lol
Great job. Loved the video.
You just Keep ON MAKING US PROUD OF YOU!! Blessings.. Bro.
2x4 season. Another fantastic build, I am going to try this.
Glad that 2x4 season is back. Great project!
Thanks to you I’ll be picking up some “2 x 4 Season” in my 4 x 4. You have such great ingenuity and your builds are always so straightforward. Really enjoy your projects.
Love how this piece turned out!! Awesome design and build!
2x4 season! Great build.
My son is 6'9" tall and he's always needing new furniture I like your idea here. I may make him the couch at 7 foot inside and tall. Thanks. If we get it done we'll send pics to you.
This is awesome and i need a new couch . I cant find the link for the plans though.
Great idea. It's a great way to custom fit a couch for a odd size rooms like a tiny house living room, campers, schoolies. I'm going to remember this one for sure. Nice touch with the end tables inserts (and you salvaged your cut mistake lol.
Can’t wait to build one like this for my front porch!
Free plans: soon, check back tomorrow

Jeez that’s a lot of work but looks smart.
I paused the video and showed my wife and asked her how she would feel about dusting that sucker. She just shook her head and walked off. That’s gonna be some chore right there. 😄
2x4 Season! Hello fellow Okie!
This needs a chair companion video!!!
2x4 Season!
Saved. Thank You.
Cool build! The fancy version of "radiuses" is "radii."
2x4 Season! I wanna build a loveseat outdoor version for one of my favorite hiking spots.
Glad that the 2x 4 season is back! Looking forward to making the sofa and some 2x4 papa San chairs,!
2 x 4 season. I searched for how to build an outdoor couch to get ideas for a porch sofa. Your video came up and I was intrigued by the design, it would be very sturdy. I'm not sure if I can manage the weight of the assemblies. Thanks for sharing your ideas and skill.
am I missing something? I can't see the free plans.
That's gorgeous! Prices are exactly normal in my neck of the woods but maybe by next summer I can give it a go. It's a seriously beautiful build. 2x4 season!
Beautiful craftsmanship! Was oddly satisfying during the disassembly and reassembly of the sofa. A very delicate and beautiful piece! 👍😊
2x4 season yes I watched to the end
Cool build bro and I really enjoyed the video... oh yeah.... So stoked lumber prices are back to normal again too!!! Keep Crushing it and ill keep watching!
The sofa looks super stylish, great project!
I'm jealous!! Lumber prices are still outrageous in Canada, or at least where I live. I cant wait for prices to get back to normal, I love building with 2x4s!
$160 must only apply to the wood frame, since the cushion alone is $250-700 depending on the upholstery type.
I really like this! The only thing I might add is a board across the front to give it a more substantial look. The arms are nice and beefy, the front needs a little something too. Just a thought…🐝🤗❤️
Killer job on the build, Jonny!
Excellent. I will going to use it model for my first sofa. Congrats, thank you johnny!
pretty nice anwsome work, I don't see the plan, are they available ? thanks in advance ;)
Outstandingly simple but cool project for 2x4 Season!
2x4 season... that was satisfying
Very beautiful design. It turned out very well. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend Johnny. Keep making. God bless.
*Price of lumber back to normal*
Jonny: so anyways I started cuttin’
You may use long rond with thread to more strength and support to those glued 2x4 of the arms.
You could make a version of this for camping that's foldable and compact
This is insanely beautiful and unique in every level. Wow!
Woow everything you touch turns to gold good job godbless you
Hey Jonny - solid vid. Admittedly, not my style in terms of design, but always happen to like and comment to support more builders here on the tube. Keep the builds coming m'man!
2X4 Season! Nice build.
Jonny, where are those plans???
I love it. I would put that in my living room.
2x4 season!
This turned out great! Now I need to build one for my shop
Amen that 2x4 season is back! Now I can afford to build something lol
Nice buffet table! You could have put stops under the work table in which the top ends of the legs would fit snugly and prevent the folding horizontal parts from folding, instead of using those loose "clamps" at the hinged joints.
2X4 Season! Cool build
the Plans for this ever get posted?
This would also be great as a chair, for a bachelor pad, or even love seat sized. It's fantastic that these plans are so simple and can be adjusted to size. Thank you! Nice work on the build, superb craftsmanship....or is it craftspersonship? 🤔 🤷♀️
ok we dont need to get all woke its craftsmanship
T
Nice Jonny. You just made a 2x4 piece look pretty damn good. 2x4 season.
Bro there is no free plans in the description
Looks satisfyingly at bench:
WOOO WEEEE!!! 👍
I really love the build, Jonny!
Jonny, did you finish the plans/missing? List a cutting list much appreciated?
Im going to build this!! 2x4 season!
Thank you for posting this. I’ve been looking for videos on making my own couch. 2x4 season!
Very nice sofa. I will make one like this for sure.
2X4 Season. Cool sofa.
It looks great, Jonny!
This is a really nice idea! My only critique is that the description says "check back tomorrow" for plans, and this was posted Sep 9, 2021 - that was almost 4 months ago...
Amazing job congrats 🙌
2x4 season! Great video and idea! thanks!
Like the vise holding the portaband.
Is there anyway you can send me the plans for the 2x4 couch
where are the plans?
Really nice. Like the end tables. Quite functional.
