I have made several of these benches an shorten the back an bottom to make them a chair. An had wonder about an arm rest? Thank you for showing me how to make them.
Thank you so much sir, for making a video for the beginners. Your explanation and the demonstration of how things go is such a blessing blessing to someone like me. I've been injured on my job and trying to find hobbies to do but not understanding the tools and how to use them but you have made it where a disabled person as myself could at least follow your instructions and make something
Building two of these benches this week for our fire pit in our backyard, planning on putting on a light brown wood stain with a spray on polyurethane top coat just to weather proof a little bit. Hopefully should come out pretty good, Nice job on the arms, may need to add that to my to do list
Nice job. I have made many Leopold Benches with the plans from Rouge Engineer" design using both size of lumber. I like your addition. Might I suggest a hole saw to make the cup holder. First you would want to spin the hole saw in reverse to score the wood then drill the hole. Scoring will help stop the hole bit from skipping.
Thanks for the video, very entertaining and informative.But, lol, this 60 minute build would take me about 60 hours and I know it isn't as easy as you make it look. That's why I love watching the vidoes and letting you guys do the work. I admire all you fellows for your talent and keep up the great work and videos. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching and the comment. I think you would be able to do in less than 60 days. The tools and a little experience make it go faster, but this is a nice easy build. I am super grateful that you enjoyed the video. Thanks again.
I bought what they call a small pet tent and sat the rear of my miter saw in it. Captures at least 95% of the dust and is flexible enough to pivot for 45 degree cuts. If I remember it was about $20 on amazon. Once every couple of weeks I suck it clean with a hose from the central vac. Good part is my saw is on a rolling base so the tent just comes along.
Thank you for putting this together. Love the bench and you make it look so easy. I'm sending this vid to my hubby as a hint to make it for the front porch. Thanks again. Great video.
Nicely Done! Very Nicely Done!!!. I loved the regular guy approach to this. It was great when you said to make a measurement and a cut you pointed to the actual end and point of the board to reference when so many others I've seen just blab "cut 10 inches from end". I'm like what end, what point? Nice bench. I will try one, you 30 mins, me 30 days!!! I might round of that corner at the top of the legs and I think raising up the 2 back rest pieces a few inches so that you can put a curve or curves on the top board which would give it a different look. Maybe even some scroll cut out designs in the back rest pieces. Just my 2 cents, easy for me to say after you had built it. Nicely Done! Very Nicely Done!!! Thank you!!!!!!!
Hello again. I'm back to see how you added the arms. Nice job. Also I am shortening the seat and back boards down to 2 feet and made a chair for a customer. I only lowered my price by $20.00 since the same amount of labor but just a little less material. My customer was more that happy to agree. He requested arms so here I am reviewing your process. I added back the $20.00 and he agreed.
Hope it works our. Let me know if you can improve on my design. I am already thinking of ways to improve the design. I sold the bench to a customer that requested it to be finished. I should be uploading a video of the finishing of it soon.
Thanks. I appreciate everyone that takes the time to watch my videos and leave me a comment. Thanks for watching and I am excited that you liked the video. Thanks for the comment. Have a great day.
Could you give a material list or cut dimensions first so that we can screenshot it? This is the first of your videos that I have seen. I look forward to making this and watching your other videos !! Thank you
Surely you know that the “speed” part of the speed square is that you don’t have to pivot for a 45…? I was actually shouting at you 😝 JUST FLIP OT OVER! great vid though. I made two in the 30 minutes just by batch cutting extras.

1. Your shop makes my shop look clean. 2. I just built a similar mobile planer stand, but mine looks better. 🤣🤣 3. Love the upgrade to RE’s bench. I was planning on building his, now I’m planning on building yours. You need a bit of practice on camera angles, etc but otherwise a good video.
Thanks, I am working on getting my shop more organized now. Send a picture of your planer cart. I would like to see it. They are a beautiful little bench and pretty comfortable for what they are. The cup holders are a great addition. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a great day.
Kinda like this bench. It's different and looks like a fun build. But... may I suggest one thing? On the cupholders, cut out 2 or 3 inches into the support. As is, you have 1-1/2" to sit your beverage. Fine for a coffee cup but disastrous for larger containers.
Thanks for watching and the comment. I was thinking about doing that when I was building it. On my next build I am going to try this. It is a fun build.
Possibly, I don't know it it would be wide enough to go all the way across the hole for the cup. I will have to look on the next one I build. Thanks for the comment and watching. Have a great day.
Thanks. I would think you would be able to go out to 5-6' without a third leg. Most picnic tables are made from 2x6 lumber and they span about 5'. You might want to put a small brace under the seat portion to help keep the boards together better. Thanks for watching and I hope this helps. Have a great night.
Hello, the seat is 17" off the floor to the top and 14.25" deep. The back of the bench is 32.25" off the floor. Thanks for watching and this is a great bench. Have a great day.
That top back board looks like it goes from outside to outside of the 2 legs that would make it a 51” board. Did I miss something or can’t I see well enough on my phone screen. Nice job!
That board does go on the inside of the back legs. It makes the cuts easy since all of the seat boards and the back boards are 48". Thanks for watching. Have a great day.
Is there a reason why you are “pulling” the miter saw blade vs. bringing the miter saw out, plunging down, and then “pushing” the blade to finish the cut.

That’s a nice upgrade with the armrests and in my case beer holders, great job running through it for those interested in building
I appreciate that. Thanks for watching and have a great day.

I haven’t used my oscillating saw (multi tool) for years. Thanks for showing how you use it.
That saw has so many uses. I love it and use it all the time. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a great day.

I sold this bench for $165 finished. I will have a video out soon of how I finished it. Thanks for watching. Have a great day.
easy peazy lemon squeezy. Nice work!
Thanks and thank you for watching. Have a great day.
Always going to be critics in the comments. Ignore most. Great vid

Hello, I will try and do that going forward for you guys. Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Have a great day.
Thats a good project that should sell well Thanks for the video.
Thanks. I have had a few sales and lots of lookers. Thanks for watching and have a great day.

Well yes I do know that, but sometimes I just forget. Thanks for picking that up. Thanks for watching and have a great day.
That sure is a nice bench. Do you have the blueprints for is, and do you want to shear it?

A CLEAN shop is a safe shop!
So I have been told. I'm working on getting to that point hopefully. Thanks for watching and have a great day.
@@ParmFam This shop is almost as neat as mine....
Nice project and nice explanation.
Thank you and thanks for watching. Have a wonderful day.
I like this build. I saw the one Rouge built. I see yo have every scrap that you ever made, just like me. Who says you need a neat shop?
Thanks for watching. You never know when you might need that scrap piece for something. Have a great day.
You rock partner!!
Thanks and thanks for watching. Have a great day.
Great video
Thanks for watching and have a great day.
Could you use the cutoffs from the back to make the arm supports under the cup holders?
Possibly, I don't know it it would be wide enough to go all the way across the hole for the cup. I will have to look on the next one I build. Thanks for the comment and watching. Have a great day.
Looks great. How long can the seat & back boards be cut before a third leg is required?
Thanks. I would think you would be able to go out to 5-6' without a third leg. Most picnic tables are made from 2x6 lumber and they span about 5'.

I want to make this bench for my kitchen, can you tell me what height of the sear is from floor to top of seat board, would greatly appreciate it, TY
Also the depth of the seat.
Hello, the seat is 17" off the floor to the top and 14.25" deep. The back of the bench is 32.25" off the floor. Thanks for watching and this is a great bench. Have a great day.
Love this, thx
Thanks. Have a great day.
With the speed square (at 3:05) all you had to do was flip the square over! The other side is a 45!
I don't know what I was thinking when I did it like that. Thanks for watching and have a great day.
That top back board looks like it goes from outside to outside of the 2 legs that would make it a 51” board. Did I miss something or can’t I see well enough on my phone screen. Nice job!

No, thats just the way I like to do it. Thanks for watching. Have a great day.
Miter cut not bevel
Ok. Thanks. Thanks for watching. Have a great day.
@@ParmFam not a critic to correct. Great video
@@cineilat Technically speaking, to correct someone's use of a term is critiquing them!
Nice.
Thanks!
NICE
Thank you and Thanks for watching. Have a great day.
Do i have to gain 50’lbs to make this ?
That is a question that only you can answer. Thanks for watching and I hope you have great day.
YES!!! Provided that the extra weight is gained in the form of intelligence which you are obviously lacking!
