DIY Modern Concrete and Redwood Bench Tutorial

[@apcolleen]

Just put the brackets in the concrete far enough back that you can still screw the boards in. Just predrill the holes first.

For sure it will wiggle as you sit

[@Remodelaholic]

+Jeffrey Sonio it is solid as a rock. Think about it, there are 6 sets of angle brackets, plus the legs each weigh about 40 - 50 lbs, it doesn't wiggle AT ALL. It is grounded very well. We have it in our yard and we sit on it all the time- no wiggle!

I’m creating a small box from wood and concrete and i love this idea. But Im restricted from using any adhesives. Do you think it will work with out it? ps. Love the awesome video!

[@Remodelaholic]

It might work? It just depends on how big your box is and what it will be holding. Because mine was a bench I needed to use glue for extra support. Thanks for watching and liking the video.

Hey has anybody told you that your voice sounds like Woody Harrelson?

[@ColleenPastoor]

I love this!

[@xe2bio64]

Nicely done

[@Remodelaholic]

+Luis Colon thank you!

[@fatih-araz]

is it stable to sidewards?

[@Remodelaholic]

+Fatih Araz it is very stable!

[@quantumlife6501]

no rebars no latteral strenth that bench will fall left or right side i think

[@Remodelaholic]

It has been two years and it is still going strong!

[@quantumlife6501]

thats ok ,,next time few 8 mm rebars will make it more stronger

[@hammockmonk]

With those burly brackets? I’m sure it’ll be fine.

[@RickBeligni]

In the video you say cut all boards to the same length but it looks like one board must be shorter than the other two.

[@Remodelaholic]

+Rick Beligni they are all the same length but the ends are offset the width of the concrete. So on one end two pieces appear longer, on the other end only one piece appears longer (but technically they are all the same length). Look at the top of the bench, the ends are different!

[@RickBeligni]

Oh thank you I see now. You're so kind to reply to me I really like the build and I would hope to replicate it.

[@thomasschaefer3801]

How long did the concrete set?

[@Remodelaholic]

+Thomas Schaefer 24-48 hours should be good.

[@ExtremeDIYchanel]

good job bro

[@ryananderson1931]

”pepe amazing plan” (Google it), is certainly a detailed woodworking book! It breaks every little thing down, using words, drawings, real photos, and various diagrams. It is amazingly informative and helps me feel like I could help my brother while we create our furniture together.

Amei!

[@ii-ro7rz]

Твоя лавка шатается, что ты хотел показать, как не надо делать?

[@snap-off5383]

seems like the first 190 lb person who jumps against the corner of this is going to bend the brackets and collapse the whole thing.

[@Remodelaholic]

It is very sturdy and it has been about two years without a single issue, out in all four seasons year round...
