I saw a video making a bench out of cinderblocks yesterday, but forgot to share it. Your version is 2 times better because you made 2 benches! This is what I want when I move into my new home on my patio!

[@wompol7117]

I made two of these facing the brick fire pit I made a couple years ago. Love them.

[@BMSculptures]

They are the best

[@mrrs17]

I would like to use for my campsite as benches for my fire pit are the cinder block sturdy

[@kbanghart]

@@mrrs17 probably yes very much so, only thing is that's a lot of weight to carry to a campsite and back home I guess

[@DJAlgorithm74]

Out of all the cinderblock bench videos I have seen, this is by far the BEST ONE!!!

Awesome! Thanks Al

Very durable!

[@313GodIsMyBestie]

I seen something like this on Pinterest the other day🤔 and told my husband I'm going back to Home Depot to make a bench. I just made a mini patio with concrete and did my yard and I'm so excited. I'm definitely doing this bench today 4/17/2021. Great video! ☺️

[@BMSculptures]

That is awesome!

[@imagod3067]

I’ve seen so many ppl on KZbin tempting to complete this project and yours look the best so far

[@FightingPolygonTeam]

nice. you could also use longer boards where the seats are and connect them in the corner, effectively making long L-shapes. Then you would have a corner table.

[@dorriepetersen9136]

We made a bench like this years ago and purchased 3 cushions from target. It it the only thing that has been able to endure Florida’s heat and rain. I am so glad I found this video. I will be adding a back onto ours and a fresh coat of paint. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@BMSculptures]

That is awesome!

[@kbanghart]

Was yours really heavy? That's my only concern. Maybe I'll do like someone else mentioned and just make it shorter, so a few less bricks to lift.

[@rebeccaatlas9916]

Love your style! I have been remodeling the early 1900s cinderblock farmhouse where i reside. I am always looking for new ideas that are simple but fun. I understand your terminology without having to revert to my certifications to understand. Lol. Thank you.

[@hde306]

[@juliamartin9047]

Wow this turned out amazing. The bench looks lovely and worth a lot.

[@BMSculptures]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@Hollywood103]

Love the simplicity & effectiveness of the design! I wonder if adding another cinder block or putting a few pieces of wood together on each end could be a welcomed addition for some sort of arm rest support.

[@BMSculptures]

That is a good idea. Arm rests would be nice

[@tealsanderson2339]

Was thinking the same thing , cutting a piece of 4x4 to glue on top of the arm rest. Bring out the color of the stained wood. Nice project!!!!!!

[@johnjacobjinglehimerschmid3555]

Was wondering .... also how could you put a slight tilt on the backrest.

[@xxtranZerxx]

@@johnjacobjinglehimerschmid3555 you could try using 2x4's in a slant that can be held up in that position with wooden wedges inside the cinder block holes. Just something that popped into my mind but the actual execution must be harder than this.

[@One1Luv]

This is where, I would definitely abort the ban on power tools! For the Arm rest ….. I would stack “one” more cinder block (except with the holes 🕳 facing ⬆️ UP) so you have BUILT In, Cup Holders. And the where the tools come in ….. then take some wood 🪵 (thin) and cap that cinder block off …. Only exposing the holes. Kind of like in a Cadillac or Mercedes, around the cup holders and and panel. Just a thought 💭

[@god-son-love]

I like the simplicity of the concept. It's very Scandinavian.

[@YOGI-yl4ff]

[@loveyginahowell]

Love this video. Looks like something I may create for our deck. However, I would like to point out the fiberboard if it gets wet will break apart. It would be a good Idea to paint and put sealer on it before stapling the cushion on.

[@BMSculptures]

Thanks for the info!

[@coachangelap.wilson824]

[@mannym.andcoyoteridgemtb171]

So cool. I just bought a house that has lots of those blocks in the yard and they were going to the garbage. Thanks and found the perfect idea-use for them, of course thanks to you👍🏼

[@BMSculptures]

Glad I could help

I wish you were my hubby. This is amazing 😻

[@BMSculptures]

if my wife ever decides to leave me ill remember this comment and reach back out 😉

[@sr.chinta-louisetorpey5566]

Nice home built cushions! Looks great. I built this almost identical about three years ago, but I added 2X4 alongside each 4X4, they are each not true 4 inchers so they all fit in there snug and it's really cool. With cushions looked marvelous, visitors loved it, then I added the oblong pavers flat on top as arm rests placing it all the way back against the back concrete block, leaves a good lip in the front for drinks. Cool. Looks great. The construction Adhesive 500 worked great for this project as well.

[@BMSculptures]

Thank you! I would be interested to see what the look of the 2x4s are. I also like the arm rest idea.

[@sr.chinta-louisetorpey5566]

I'm going to try to add a photo here, I'm not a KZbin pro, so I'm not sure if I can....I can't make it work. Imagine, put a 4x4 along side a 2x4, a standard cinder block will hold them both in one hole. Mainly because neither are True in size. They each are usually a 3.5x3.5 and 1 1/2 x 3.5 so that little bit of space allows you to load the two in one hole. It will fill up the area nicely. Prior to loading the second hole in the cinder block I measure a separate 2x4 to span the inner gap between those two holes. Attach it to the boards you've already loaded thru one side of the hole. Secure it with screws or gorilla glue. Now to finish you will load the next two boards into the remaining cinder block hole, when you are done you will have a fully filled bench, no rear can slip through and it looks really sharp. Unless you have an email address I can send pictures to, I can't provide photos youtube is not letting me load photos here. Best wishes!

[@latashamcmillerandfamily8771]

The sound effects are hilarious 🤣 Love this video 👍🏾

[@franceslalchan5834]

Thank you for sharing. Right now, I am in the process of doing the same on the side of my home. First, I am concrete work by myself. I have 19 cinder blocks that I was going to put some place in the yard. ❤❤

[@fabbynavarro5402]

What about a table in the center? Make it also with the cinder blocks and wood that you used for the seats. I bet it would look beautiful. Love the seats1 Thank you.

[@BMSculptures]

Check out my homepage. I have the coffee table build!

[@kbanghart]

The only issue I see with this is that maybe it would be SO heavy to move?

[@fabbynavarro5402]

@@kbanghart Exactly, and at 60 something I wouldn't be able to carry those blocks and wood. So sad because I really like it!

[@kbanghart]

@@fabbynavarro5402 after reading some other comments, I realize that removing two of the blocks might make it a more reasonable height, and of course lower the weight quite a bit. In that case it's a lot better for some people to try to move, say 150 lb, instead of 210. Probably best to use a dolly If you have to move them. I also just watched a couple other videos where people made their own hand rests, covered in vinyl, that would be very nice too for the tops.
