July 28; 1:17PM, NYC. Three people didn't like this video. Well, then why did they watch the whole thing? I guess they're not into appreciate using brains to figure out measurements, angles, preservation of the wood, and what can go wrong if you don't think ahead. In my estimation, this whole project is brilliant. How lovely to have a comfortable place to sit and relax in the garden. BRAVO to you Sean!

[@SeanEvelegh]

Hey mate, thank you for your kind comment. ahah I don't know why they disliked... I always get some. It's good my eyes focus on the bigger number next to it! I'm thrilled you're enjoying this series. I grateful to have a viewer like you!

[@almas7123]

Sorry how do you Know they watched whole video? And I agree sometimes I don’t know why they dislike certain vids. Other times I can see why.

[@stun9771]

Coming on nicely Sean, I’m sure Mum and Dad will be very appreciative...👍🏻

[@SeanEvelegh]

Hey mate, Thanks a lot! They are looking forward to using it. It's been raining the last few days, so they haven't got to sit on it yet.

[@blindboyblake]

It would also be very helpful if you could discuss how you made the jig to hold the beam at a 12° angle away from the saw fence.

[@jimpyre5038]

Awesome work

[@blindboyblake]

Two questions as I am blind, and I cannot see the video… how deep are the mortos? And when you cut the half lap joints on the legs to sit in the mortise, are they cut at a 90° or do you still have a 12° bevel on your blade?

[@sethbrettell5952]

Looks like it's coming together nicely great work Sean

[@SeanEvelegh]

Thanks Seth, Yeah I'm very happy with how it's turning out! Glad your enjoying the series

[@stormes28]

I want to build a swing with no beam. Just two posts and a short L shape at the top to hang the swing. I found an L pergola extension but not sure if can handle the weight and it won't bend. Any ideas?

[@Ben-bp5dw]

Great design, Sean! Can't wait to see it all put together!!

[@SeanEvelegh]

Thanks Ben! Glad you like it, part 3 will be a small picnic table restoration to go in front of the swing seat and in part 4 I will show everything put together!

[@Ben-bp5dw]

@@SeanEvelegh - Brilliant!! Looking forward to it!! I don't understand why you have 3 dislikes though!!!

[@cam975]

How much weight would this be able to handle?

[@bertieswoodwork5155]

LOOKING GOOD

Waiting to see the end product of this project mate

[@SeanEvelegh]

Hey Tony, Glad you're excited... video coming soon!

[@FranksDIY]

Looks great and matches the surrounding plats lilacs I think

[@SeanEvelegh]

Thanks Frank! I totally agree! Thanks for watching and commenting again!

[@AyQueRiko]

Is the jig you used meant to angle the beam by 12 degrees?

[@lioncrunch]

How do you get the paint to adhere permanently to wood that you've painted with preservative

[@johnberry1107]

Did I see 3 hands?

[@emailbox5146]

Hi Sean! Great video, would you able to provide some insight please on making the jig that rests for the 4x4? Not sure what angles were used to create the jig and capture those measurements

[@pieface1726]

I suspect everything is 12 degrees. This frame is made almost identically to the skillbuilders single bevel trestle (search youtube) It makese sense as it is a very strong shape and perfect for this application. I hope this helps.

[@giusppeooooumoo9083]

How do I figure out the right angles?

[@denniscunin4201]

What’s the music in the background

[@Peter_Bovey]

are those tiles or pavers under the legs ? You should be asking your brother the second question

[@SeanEvelegh]

Hi Peter, thanks for watching and commenting again! They are tiles, I know there not the right thing to use... they are a temporary solution until I get some patio slabs. Sadly my brother isn't as passionate about woodwork as me. So he won't be helping with everything ahah!

[@geralltgriffiths7772]

@@SeanEvelegh It's great to see the family being supportive. I think it's appropriate for this kind of piece that we see it being enjoyed in a family setting. So, come on, mum, your turn to make a cameo appearance, too!

[@cblodg1]

Looking good. Question: Does your miter saw accept a dado stack? I would imagine cutting out those lap joints was a bit tedious with just the standard blade thickness.

[@jordanmiller5555]

I know it's nothing major and everyone has there way of saying things but Sean... in the uk we say 4×2 simply because you can instantly pick out the width of a timber. Not trying to hate or anything as I really enjoy your videos and enjoyed whatching this one too.
