2x4 friendship / garden bench

[@mrlong12u1]

Never seen the support rails having dowels inserted and the explanations answered my questions. Amazing thought process and thanks! I love learning from the pros.

[@berH96]

Thanks for the Sketchup model! The bench looks fantastic.

[@mickhurley7305]

Trevor thank you for not only sharing the work and video but also the plans. Thats a nice website and a clean build. You got a sub . Stay safe friend God bless.

[@ramonvazquez3248]

Nice job, could you please share information relating the measurings of the beanch? Thanks in advance

[@montanamike53]

By far the best design I've seen using cost effective materials. The attention to detail and consideration for what and who would be using it is impressive! That you for sharing this project and the sketchup file. I'm busy pulling the dimensions so I can build a few for friends and family.

[@wilsonm59]

Struggled like others to find measurements, so sharing my new found sketchup knowledge. Assuming you found the link to "sketchup model" in his description, and have the free Sketchup. Use the orbit tool to move around (green/red arrow tool located middle right menu bar). Use the protractor tool to measure angles (under "tool" menu): 70deg on legs, 10deg back to bench. Use the tape measure tool to get lengths. His seem a little too large, most recommend a bench ht above ground of 15-17", and I'm measuring 18" on sketchup. Also most recommend a 5 deg pitch on bench seat. I can see a pile of cut lumber in sketchup, but never really found a cut list. Nice bench.

[@donaldala7110]

need the dimensions and cut list PLEASE

[@sandersjones1577]

That bench is the bomb man still trying to get plans

[@ladykenja2700]

- Excellent job. Professional, attractive. Would look nice in any setting.

[@johnthompson3462]

Wow,that is the nicest "Simple" bench I have seen on you tube. Excellent, will be making some of those

[@montanamike53]

Installing the dowels into the 3 seat support area so your depending on screws in end grain for support excellent!

[@opasworkshop8373]

Good job, congratulations from Brazil

[@matt5139]

Very nice 👍

[@ernie8117]

Love your bench. If it is not too much of problem, would you please provide the cut list and cut angles in a pdf file instead of sketch up. Thanks.

[@vishnupersaud8765]

I ĺove woodworking I looked at this video several times I will try to make one just like this hope it come out like this this is indeed beautiful I lo

Beautiful job! Nice work and congrats from So Cal USA.....across the pond (it's Memorial Day here in the USA...always last Monday in May)

[@MichShopRat]

Excellent job Trevor. Thank you for sharing this project. I did click on the link to see the SketchUp model of your bench but it didn't work. I also went to your website and clicked on the details link but it didn't work either. Is there another way to access the bench details? I know this was put on KZbin 6 years ago but I'm just now seeing it for the first time. Thanks again.

[@turdburglar370]

Is there a pdf version of the plans? Sketchup is being a huge pain.

[@Damodel247]

Great work Trevor. Can you tell me what angles you used on the back legs?

[@bespokedalli8873]

Nice job I need to make a outdoor bench

[@dougwigginton3983]

Very nice. I am new to working so you video is especially helpful. I was able to download a viewing app but unable to locate the measurements and more importantly the angles. Please help

[@mcpotsie26]

Why is it so difficult to have a cultist for this?.....scetch up is not user friendly at all....and the website is giving errors....what is the cut list for this cool project....like dementions and angles....

[@stevehamilton9194]

how do you get hold of th plans and cut list

[@jman8128]

well organized presentation,thank you!

[@d.k.1394]

Wonderful

[@davidkelly8869]

thankyou...this inspired me to make my own based on this one!!! i varied it a bit.

[@markf.4063]

The bit where you drilled the supports and then filled them back in with a dowel puzzled me at first as I had never seen that. Then it all made sense. Thanks for the tip.

[@trevordawson1947]

Mark,Im stıll tryın to fıgure that out.Why dıd he do ıt.?????????

[@prmskeepr]

It was so the screws didn't just go into end grain. They went into the dowels to make the connection stronger.

[@markf.4063]

+Prmskeepr yeah that was what I surmised from watching.

[@krasimirnikolov1583]

Hi Trevor, I tried to get the dimensions for your beautiful bench on you web, but it did not work . Would you be so kind and send it to me please. Thank you

[@dooovde]

Nice job! I think you need another drill though

[@pshadyyx]

Nice video and a nice build. I suggest you give a little bit more explanation of the decisions you made and choices you had, as well as why certain things were done in such a way. Be not just an inspiration, be an inspiration and a teacher.

[@trevorsworkshop]

Thanks for the idea!

[@scmarinemom24]

I love this bench. Is there any way to download plans using PDF instead of sketch up? I have no idea how to use it.

[@paulbetka2966]

Yeah where can we get plans. Dimensions. Patterns.🤷‍♂️👍🏻

[@tjackson86]

Great video and an amazing looking bench 😀 Any suggestions on where I can find the cut list in the SketchUp file? I'm struggling to work out the lengths and sizing of the lumber. Thanks in advance!

[@prmskeepr]

Very nice indeed

[@ignacioaragon9331]

Will some one please point me a the right direction. So I was able to download load the plans but for some reason I can't view them. I am not most computer master so I am sure I am doing something incorrectly. Any advice will be very appreciated. Thank you.

[@barrybaskin7138]

you need to download a trial version of google sketchup in order to open the file

[@chickybombway2779]

I am not able to dload your sketch up model.

[@pamil1923]

I like your dog! Your bench is good too, but how many drills do you have!!!

[@montanamike53]

If your familiar with sketchup you can use the dimension tool to get lengths,widths and thickness. Tedious I know, but doable.

[@mahmutalikilagus6216]

Thank you great work !

[@donoday]

Very nice. Can you please tell me the angle of the front legs?

[@MrKekken]

In Sketchup it says 21.5 degrees.

[@patronabavariae2577]

In which option can you find that information in sketchup ??

[@mandilon3373]

Thanks for sharing

[@glenntaylor4844]

Wish they had these plans in pdf. I can’t download the file I have nothing to open it. Thanks anyway.

[@Paul-mx2yj]

Great Job Had to turn off the music but a really nice bench !

[@itaysharoni1120]

is there a reference to the sizes of the back rest frame? in the skechup model I can only see sizes of one piece out of two.

[@sleuth5169]

WITH SKETCHUP HOW DO I SEE THE DIMESIONS AND MEASUREMENTS. i only see the general drawing, no other pages show on tool bar. im using skup 2017

[@cathimc]

Thomas just saw it. If you zoom out of the axis, it will show you another pile of wood on the right side where he has the cutting templates

[@shawn17032]

do you have the plans for this.thanks

Hello Trevor, what app do I need to install to open the sketch up models. I keep getting an error stating i need to install an app, but it doesn't tell me the name.

[@peterlarsen7282]

Had the same problem files are skp , maybe a more commonly used file would be better for us all

[@santossaavedra5059]

Same here!!!

[@MrHantoi]

wish I could have the dimensions. Sketchup doesn't show the measurements. keep trying it but i dont know 2016, 2017, 2018. Id really love to have this as my first project.

[@patronabavariae2577]

Thanks Trevor for that great video. Can you tell me please where i can find the dimensions and angles in sketchup?

Where did the slats come from? They seemed to just magically appear, or have I missed something? Nice look bench, and looks very strong - well done.

[@arslanahmed8504]

Awesome

[@jraglob5924]

I have an unrelated question, I have the same Jet table saw and am looking for a pattern for a zero clearance insert. The thinness of the manufacture's and the small lips have made crating a solid one difficult for me. So I was wondering if you have a pattern? Thanks. By the way I love the bench and added it to a LONG list of projects.

[@JoseDiaz-so5ir]

Do you have the plan on PDF?

[@notsalad]

do you put a coat of sealant or something to protect against rot or bugs? if so what kind?

[@trevorsworkshop]

everyone will have a different opinion, however, my sealant of choice for outdoor furniture is min wax Helmsman Spar Urethane. You will need to give it a coat or two every year to continue to protect it and no matter how hard you try, the sun will eventually win and it will become gray and faded. To protect the legs from soaking up water I coat the bottom of the legs with either titebond ii or epoxy before applying the urethane.

[@notsalad]

Trevor's Workshop thanls for the reply! so is the only side effect a graying wood? or will it warp or break down faster than say cedar as well?

[@SDMPoahway]

I love all benches. I build them and sell them.

It was so the screws didn't just go into end grain. They went into the dowels to make the connection stronger.

Are the measurements correct? In sketchup the arms are with 26 "= 66 cm !!

Pocket holes not robust? I've made a half dozen or more 2X4 benches using pocket holes and glue and you could park a truck on them and they'd be fine. All that being said, you made a great looking bench.
