A Single $14 Board Makes This GREAT Bench!

Woodworking does not have to require expensive lumber. This video will show how you can create an amazing four-foot bench with a craftsman style base from simple affordable materials. The only materials needed are a construction grade 2x12, 8 feet long and 38 screws. I used stain on mine but as seen at the end of the video the bench can also be painted.

@@MakinSawdust Haha, hey Kevin, how you been doing?

[@CountryFamily]

What a great project Jared. I really like the second option with painted base and white washed top. Looks like your kids had a fun time distressing that bench top.

Great video of a nice bench, loved your presentation and how you work with children, keep up the good work I've subbed and I'm looking forward to more content.

[@DIYMinded]

Thanks Daniel! A couple of videos are in the works.

Nice first video, a little more editing of repetitive operations will help streamline future offerings. Love that you work with the kids but the shot where the bolt goes flying should give you the incentive to put some eye protection on them. Sub'd

[@DIYMinded]

Thanks for the input. It's a big learning curve. More videos coming soon.

What a nice bench..! Didn’t see the widths of the legs and stringers you said slats were 5/8 by 1-1/2” please tell me the widths as I don’t do much wood working but will do this

[@DIYMinded]

Sorry but I do not have the bench anymore to measure.

[@vdittycc]

@@DIYMinded I finished the bench today now just need to paint. I found out how crooked my miter cuts and how important it is to have a space to work In as my garage is packed. It ain’t perfect but looks good thanks ..
