Building a MODERN Plywood Bench - Shaun Boyd Made This

[@tielojongmans3826]

You have the most elegant design style, western free-form combined with oriental clarity and honest construction. Great!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that! I'm always trying to develop my design sense, and your description is very insightful and generous. Thanks for watching!

[@ruthwatt]

I love this piece and particularly love (even if it was probably the easiest part) the walnut leg with the two off angles. Really makes the piece.

[@ChrisPowellFSD]

I first came across this video and your channel a couple years ago when I was researching laminated plywood furniture for a tv stand i built. Now im getting ready to use this technique once again to build a dog bed, and wanted to do a little more research for the video title. This video popped up again, and i had to watch it for probably the 5th time. The building technique is cool, but what really does it for me is the way you recorded this one. I love how it feels like one continuous shot and the camera just follows you around. Very inspirational!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it! Thanks for coming back and checking it out again! Good luck with the dog bed.

[@jacob_369]

Absolute beautiful bench! I can't help it but I do love plywood nd being able to see the layers. But for now my wife is in to walnut. Thanks for a great video!

[@bentleygt3716]

kudos to your talent, passion, and patience. GREAT WORK.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you!

[@Giosurf1]

WOOOOOOOOOW!!!! Spectacular work! Good Good Good!!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that, thanks for watching!

[@adamdouglas4821]

Very cool piece, true art. Watching you use the table saw with the hoodie strings dangling added some suspense too, Yikes. Thanks for posting.

[@ianbeckett2427]

Your video came up in feed today for the first time and I love this build. I'm a huge fan of the exposed edge of plywood and marrying that with solid timber makes for a great combination. I've obviously got some binge watching to do.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Man, I love the look of that thing! The walnut is a nice refined touch against the plywood. And the curve and then angle of the leg...it just works!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that! I am very happy with how it turned out.

[@MontanaBallistics]

Bruce A. Ulrich my thoughts exactly!

[@pch4287]

Beautiful work.Congratulations

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks!

[@northjerseykevin409]

That’s so so cool. I’m impressed

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you!

[@Bjornarp]

Simple and clean with a twist! Nice job mate!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

That is exactly what I shoot for in my designs! Thanks for watching, really appreciate it!

[@mclartywoodworks6690]

Great design and execution! I did cry a little when I saw wipe on Poly, but it is plywood so it makes sense.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks, really appreciate it! I go back and forth with wipe-on poly, but in this application it works great.

[@xjonez1000]

Bench/ coffee table. Really classy work. Well made🤙

[@mennolabeee]

Nice project!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it, thanks!

[@edwinsantos7673]

I could see a few dozen of those scattered throughout the public spaces of a modern art museum. Nice job!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

That would be awesome. Thanks for watching!

[@mambobond]

Very cool. I dig the plywood "slab" look👍🏻

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks, I really appreciate it! The look of the plywood edge never fails to impress me.

[@danbarrett6113]

Still one of the coolest builds you've done Shaun.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks Dan! Still one of my favorites, as well!

[@Sprytny1981]

Seriously, your work is amazing! Great job. I love the contrast between the plywood and the walnut.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it! It's always fun to come up with new pieces. Thanks for watching.

[@simonflr]

Beautiful project... I don't see how anyone could hit a "Thumb Down" concerning this clip? Skill & Imagination!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks, Simon! Really appreciate the kind words. KZbin can be a fickle place.

[@mafhper]

Plywood at art level of the thing.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you!

[@carolvanleer3386]

I just watched this on someone else's channel. Not cool for them to steal, but it brought me here, so cool! Love your work.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Do you have a link to the video?

[@carolvanleer3386]

The name of the video is DIY Plywood Bench by creative ideas. I’m on my phone so not sure how to copy the link.

[@MBTHandmade]

8 minutes and 28 seconds does this piece no justice. Beautiful design, dude

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it! It always feels a little weird to edit everything down to such short videos, but that is how it goes.

[@dannymistry2751]

Fantastic workmanship....good video

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks, really appreciate it!

[@CADCAMLessons]

Nice design and good job!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it, thanks for watching!

[@danbarrett6113]

The simple elegance is just what the doctor ordered. Something about this piece speaks to me.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks, Dan! I agree, I really focused on keeping this one as simple as possible.

[@cennybkillinum]

Honestly one of the best videos I've ever watched on KZbin, loved it 👏👏👏👏

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Dang, I really appreciate that! Thanks for the kind words. There are a lot of videos on KZbin.

[@cennybkillinum]

Shaun Boyd as a fellow carpenter and joiner I was glued to watching it man, I like watching a craftsman work but especially something as cool as the finished bench 👏👏👏

[@shaunboydmadethis]

I know what you mean, I spend a lot of time watching others create amazing things on here. Pretty awesome.

[@WOODRF]

Congratulations, your piece was very beautiful. I love pieces made with plywood. Parabéns, sua peça ficou muito bonita. Adoro peças feita com plywood.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Yeah, the plywood on it's edge is such an interesting look. Thanks for watching!

[@williamwebbfurniture8824]

This piece was exceptionally well designed, meticulously crafted and flawlessly finished. Bravo Sir!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it, Andrew! I strive for all of those things.

[@RBOzark]

Very nice! Well thought out and executed, I love it.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

[@_cr8ive_]

Thought I'd watch this video and learn something . . . but I've never seen anyone work this fast...💥🥂

[@shaunboydmadethis]

If only I could do it that fast in real life!

[@AceWinfieldLoyola]

I like the idea and design. Thank you for sharing...

[@Apachenjunge]

Tolle Arbeit, tolles Ergebnis. Danke fürs teilen!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Danke!

[@construction-productscemen4935]

You do very professional. I like your design

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it! Thanks!

[@Not.So.WiseGuy]

@@shaunboydmadethis, a channel called "art of life" also liked your work and re-uploaded your vid.

[@brakefree6434]

That's a very nice piece!!! I love it!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you!

[@13elliottlg46275]

Hi Shaun I started a coffee tables based on this design and process! However instead of the wooden insert at the opposite side of the curve there are going to be cast concrete pillars. I'll be sure to tag you on social meeds when it's completed. God bless buddy!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Sounds awesome! Can't wait to see it.

[@BlazeTheChannel]

I don't normally comment in videos but felt compelled to tell you how stunning this piece is. I would actually use it as a table in my lounge rather than a bench. Great design and brilliantly executed. Subbed

[@shaunboydmadethis]

I really appreciate the kind words! I agree, it would make a great table, as well. Thanks for the support.

[@2002Framer]

Great work man. Awesome workshop 🙏🏻

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks, really appreciate it!

[@ludwigbarnes3058]

Thanks Frank!

[@vertenteartes]

beautiful work of art

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you! Really appreciate it!

[@EmanueleRiva1982]

Amazing design and realization!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it! Thanks!

[@joshmillard7029]

I saw this years ago and was reminded of it again from your latest build. I forgot that this was sans CNC work. Those repeating cuts look so much more laborious without a CNC. Think this also would almost certainly have some epoxy touch ups on some of the blemish areas if replicated now. It felt odd now not seeing that from one of your builds.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Haha, yep! Would probably do it a lot differently these days. Thanks for going back to watch this one!

[@clintkelley5433]

Super jealous of your Makita 2030 man! Great furniture piece. Looking forward to more videos!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Yeah, that thing is awesome, and such a workhorse. Thanks for watching!

[@clintkelley5433]

If you don't mind me asking, where did you find yours and roughly how much did you pay? I've seen a few on Craigslist but they all seem to be right around $850 and I have heard people say that unless it's in pristine condition they are worth closer to $400

[@shaunboydmadethis]

I actually got it from my grandfather when he moved into a smaller house, so not sure on price. Sorry, I don't have more info for you.

[@clintkelley5433]

Ok, now it's even better! What a cool story for a super cool tool!

[@preethamdsouza8767]

Nice craftsmanship .

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you!

[@LamontGilkey]

Great design! Love the simplicity.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks, really appreciate it!

[@InnohubGroup]

@@shaunboydmadethis they say simplicity, I see none. This is complex stuff, need some classes and practicals to be able to pull this one. Nowadays simplicity means top notch work, skills like illustrated in this video.

[@kieranfoster902]

Very smart Shaun.

[@mariosequeira642]

Well done sir!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you! Really appreciate it!

[@nicklk132]

So you didn't do any veneer? So are all the plywood layers showing? How did you make it look so clean? Is it just really nice plywood?

[@scupitta9]

Fantastic project !! GREAT !!!

Thank you very much! 🙌👍

[@heyimamaker]

Love the look of plywood, sk8 boards would be cool as well!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Yeah, nice plywood certainly has a great look! And yes, skateboards would be very cool in something like this.

[@pardeeprathi3158]

Dedicated man👌🏼

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks!

[@angeliquevanengelen]

So cool! Just out of curiosity, how many sheets of plywood did go into this, just the one???

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks! I don't remember exactly, but pretty sure it wasn't more than a single 4x8 sheet.

[@modustrial]

I love this design. Really well done!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate that! Especially coming from someone that makes some awesome stuff.

[@modustrial]

Thanks for the kind words! I just went back and checked out your past videos....you definitely are bringing something different to the table. I really like the direction your channel is going. I suspect you'll have a big jump in subscribers soon.

[@modustrial]

btw - Have you shared this and other videos on Reddit, Google+ Communities, and Facebook? If not, I've found it really helps to jumpstart KZbin viewership, and highly recommend it.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate the tips. I haven't done any of that stuff, I'm a little behind the curve when it comes to social media and getting my stuff out there, but this is a good place to start! Thanks!

Man I love your videos, am in Uganda, Africa and i would like to set up a wood workshop like yours. Kindly tell me which machines i would need and which company would you recommend

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks for watching! I would say just start making things with what you have, and as you move forward you can decide what you need. A circular saw and a drill are a great place to start!

[@sasaivanovic9771]

Great skills man!

[@angelicwhisper]

Your craftsmanship is excellent!! nice job... though i was worried if thoselittle dowels connecting the bent and sheets could carry the weight of person... then you fixed the wood slab on other side, so now its stabilized... good job!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you! Really appreciate it!

[@sjscreations2608]

Beautiful job and very creative. The lines are clean and sharp! Who said plywood is only used for cheap and ugly projects??? Not me...Cheers Sean

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Really appreciate it! It's always fun to take something that we are all used to seeing as cheap or ugly and to try making it into something beautiful.

[@cop70s]

That's a hell of a lot of effort for something so impractical...but it was super fun to watch come together

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks for watching! You can sit on it, so it seems to do what it is meant for.

Your woodworking and design skills warrant voice overs for your videos. You make great stuff. People like me can learn a lot from hearing your thought process.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thanks for saying that, means a lot. I have thought about incorporating some voice-over, but have been hesitant. Mostly because I can't stand the sound of my voice. Maybe I'll give it another shot soon, I love spreading whatever knowledge I have.

[@monajangid3495]

[@bad_keyzi]

If you are a millenial then go to 7:43 that will skip all the process of hardwork, patience, dedication, frustration, dissapointment that this video required to be done. It will save you almost 8 min of your life and will fill you with that so needed instant shot of endorfins you came in here to get.

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Haha! Thanks for recognizing that. We are definitely in an era of extreme instant gratification. I'll just try to keep doing my part to help people enjoy the process.

[@adamcarroll1975]

This is awesome! Are you a self-taught woodworker/furniture maker/designer, or did you study at a school or with someone independently? I'm attempting to learn to build furniture but I'm not so sure I can teach MYSELF to make such interesting and beautiful pieces... This is really inspiring. Thanks for taking the time to share with all of us!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Thank you, really appreciate it! I am pretty much completely self-taught. Went to school for Economics, but always wanted to do something creative, and woodworking and furniture making is where I found that. Just a lot of trial and error and finding inspiration wherever I could. It is a cliché, but if I can do it, anybody can!

[@adamcarroll1975]

Shaun Boyd Well all the pieces I've watch you build are really beautiful and you make it look easy - sign of a real talent. You give me hope! 😀 - AC
