DIY Modern Indoor/Outdoor Sofa Made From 2x4's

[@jerwinsalo5929]

the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. kzbin.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

[@tiffanym4202]

I really appreciate that you are showing what the parts look like and where they will go rather than just naming them like everyone else.

[@AllUpInMyDrill]

As a beginning woodworker, I was able to easily follow your design and modify it into a chair (I have made 2 benches in the last week... time for a chair!!). I had some leftover 2x6 redwood pieces that I used for the backboards. I opted for wood glue instead of screws... now I just need it to dry so I can start lounging!

Another reason why I always said “Wood working is a meditation other than hobby” Great Work! Thin Blue/Thin Green line

[@theleveretts4179]

Thank you for the great videos and for keeping our communities safe!

[@nicedog212]

And I'm not kidding, THE BEST outdoor seating plan and diy I've seen sofar!!! Amazing, on my list for a project to do!!

[@vernonphillips8037]

Just finished making this. Saw this video about a month ago and wanted to make it. I added a 3rd back support near the seating area. And I ended up using valspars stain and sealer on all pieces, after sanding them. The color of the stain sealer is a light gray with a slight blue tone. Wish I could post a pic of it, to show. But it turned out great and my girl loves it. I'm planning on making matching chairs and a bench swing to go with it. Thanks for the video.

[@jamesericksonsr1796]

It was great to hear him say about the degree on the saw and him saying the numbers for the boards being cut

[@enquezproductions]

One of the best channels I’ve found! Thank you for what you do my good sir!

[@modustrial]

So simple. So cool. Love this one!

[@JonnyBuilds]

But it’s no Star Wars coffee table!

[@DanielH]

What an awesome and simple design. Thanks for sharing this

[@az_u_go]

I used this sofa as the inspiration to build a whole set. A love seat, a 3 seater, a center coffee table, and 2 single chairs. I may make a build video and if I do I will definitely mention you as the inspiration for this project 😊👍🏾

[@audrajack2529]

I forwarded this video to my brother in Atlanta. He followed your instructions and made one as beautiful as yours. I love your channel. I'm already a subscriber but now my brother is too!

[@jboucher7100]

Built this for my daughters birthday. Now she wants a matching chair. I'll end up building a whole set before I'm done. Thanks for the design.

[@RomanNikitin]

dude, do you have a photo? or you just made it narrow for chair?

[@KLIDIMARIA]

The beauty of simplicity !!! Very nice project

[@CBass75]

Nice looking sofa. When I use 2x4 or 6 or 8. I like to shave the edges with a table saw. It’s an extra step but it really improves the overall appearance and makes it look less “homedepot wood”

[@CairnOwl]

I might make this for a friend who is moving into a house with next to no furniture. Awesome!

[@JonnyBuilds]

Yes!

[@nurzrachit7133]

Subscribed! Really like this one for a cheap alternative in my 14 y/o sons game room. And thank you for your full time occupation and dedication to our society despite negative influence by media and others. We the people know that you are indespensible my friend, please don't ever forget. Thanks again for the couch idea, these diy projects are so much prettier than a cheap amazon couch!

[@Lutzboater]

Great video and a nice couch for the porch. Retired 32 year LEO here,,,stay safe.

[@JonnyBuilds]

Thank you, sir!

[@tiborpastor72]

I read Mindhunter by John Douglas years ago. I normally devour books very quickly but I put it aside for a few months. It took me that long to get over the note the young girl wrote to her parents. Her depth of character! Great vids by the way.

[@jamesmorrison7847]

Congratulations! This is one of the most handsome designs using 2x4s I've seen. The slanted design takes it to another level over the common 90 degree angles from other builders.

[@user-eh7qb1gv2v]

Your work is so beautiful , beyond talented!

[@15deidreanne]

Stunning I'm going to think on this and see if I am confident enough to do it

[@traceyrice]

Wow! This ended up so smooth and simple. I love it! 💜

[@curtmuhlenberg9363]

lounging YOU MADE IT LOOK SO SIMPLE, I am gonna give it a go!!!

[@seanfennell2457]

So I'm on step one. Homedepot straight 2x4s I've been here for 3 days now, still looking for them..

[@canan4433]

Many thanks, I have been researching "1 board woodworking projects" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Denia Diyictoria Bulldozer - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my work buddy got cool success with it.

[@tomtom786]

Jonny this looks brilliant, very well done.

[@ciscomontano]

Awesome. Usually your builds are impossible for me, because I don't have your tools. Would love more of these builds.

[@JonnyBuilds]

Thanks 🙏. I’ll always drop an easier project from time to time.

[@ciscomontano]

@@JonnyBuilds Thank you from Japan. I still really enjoy watching your videos even though I couldn't build them, even if I had the tools!

[@trafficmaster13]

It looks great, I like how it could be a statement piece but not flashy just a clean and simple design.

[@JonnyBuilds]

Thanks 🙏

[@jeanboloblanchard3610]

That's a beautiful piece well done detective

[@nadjatzair5807]

Jonny jonnyyyyy cleany job and pedagogic demonstration 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍

[@w_r_v_c4605]

Wow you are such a smart and efficient builder 👍🏻

[@rodstoulle]

lounging :) Really liked it, will try it out and share the pics with you later! I'm thinking of extending one of the sides, making it an "L" shape, but keeping with the same design. That means that the extra couch would have the same leaning backrest, but the opposite one would be cut short so it fits with the longer part. What do you think?

[@katiebange1916]

This is what I'm planning on!! Also making them both 4 seats long and raising the seat - how did yours turn out?

[@pepeleseb]

Lounging! Love it sir! Thank you very much

[@herbbradley3039]

Hey Jonny thanks for the inspiration, made a 3 seater with a footrest/stool/table in same design, love it, so does the wife, now here's to summer.

[@khaosol]

What dimension did you use for the seat stretcher on the 3 seater style chair?

[@ZachariahNash-xu6xs]

That's incredible. Good work!

[@chrisflavelle1200]

I would be thinking about putting in a third stretcher on the back so the cushions don't fall through. for "lounging" I would make the sofa another foot longer. Nice project!

[@scotthollings4131]

Thanks for great build, have just finished building mine also made matching style single chairs and coffee table , wife loves it

[@khaosol]

What dimension did you use for the seat stretcher on the single style chair?

[@biniyambereda1488]

You know what ? I was thinking about how I can do that together with another fulltime job. But you showed me that. Thank you!

[@victorjock329]

Damit..... My wife caught me watching this video and now it's on her list for me to do LOL

[@tiffytoo]

Hahaha love this comment

Haha your foult

[@LeoneLaughs]

😂 😂

[@michelemitchell8035]

realy like this couch going t give it a go new a new couch. love your work

[@virtualbrian]

Looks like it could easily be modified to build some chairs in the same style. Nice!

[@eversleyowl]

Good video and a great design... lounging

[@johngreenaway5736]

Nice work. Thanks for sharing and documenting.

[@kentharris7427]

I bought a wicker couch for the outside patio which only lasted 5 years. Since I still have the cushions this looks like an excellent replacement.

[@gianlucadepertis9420]

It's a very nice video and nice sofa for lounging😊

[@timwegman5776]

Wow who would of thought such a simple design would work so well. Looks great! Thanks for sharing this project.

[@dbi1036]

Thank you for the vid and your time as a cop

[@RodGibsonAcousticGuitar]

Absolutely beautiful and modern.

[@Bltrommer]

Love the customizability of these 2x4 builds. I’ll make the wife a low arm-high back one of these in the spring 🤙🏼

[@michaelarmstrong1101]

Beautiful sofa, fella. Might give it a go, and may soon be lounging!!🙂

[@KazeKitsune]

Lounging! I love it! And thank you for your service as a police detective.

[@JonnyBuilds]

Thanks 🙏

[@mcelfreshiii]

Simple yet stunning

[@williamhanna5224]

Awesome video Great work !

[@johngill5334]

Lounging! And loved it…👍🏼

[@davidb8962]

Love this design and the build! But imagine building this in 2022 😅

[@flix4u]

Nicely done - video and sofa 👏🏼

[@BB23573]

Great explanation! Thank you for sharing😀!

[@JolienBrebels]

Sweet sofa Jonny! I still enjoy watching your videos!

[@andreipetrea4900]

One of the most beautifull and outdoor benches i saw until now on KZbin. Great DIY project and very good explanation. Good job!

[@walczanin]

Awesome work ! I’m going to try replicate it :)

[@AlexanderShuraev]

amazing! a lot of likes for the idea

[@eketelon]

Great build and great video. Love that you are respectful to your sponsors and your viewers. Your recommendation for audio book seems to be right down my alley as I listen to True Crime and HLN cases almost daily on the drive to and from work, so thanks.

[@Robocoppat]

Great build. I've been welding, fabricating and building for over 35 years and it never gets old. And from one cop to another, Be safe out there.

[@JonnyBuilds]

Thank you, sir!

[@daveeverhart5834]

Picking out the straightest boards at Home Despot, is probably the most time-consuming task of this build.

[@MartinBamsey]

Lounging. Can't wait to build this.

[@Majorkalashnikov]

Excellent!! But maybe you should make a little angle for back? 20-25 degrees?

[@Dee-Lerfer]

Great idea. Very nice 👍🏻

[@billrogers6256]

Yeah buddy!!! Thats sweet!

[@CammiesGarage]

Cool build! I like the design. Although, I foresee having to add another stretcher on the back to support the cushions. Nicely done.

[@zah555]

Gorgeous!!!

[@715woodworks2]

Awesome build! I'm really digging the look of the sofa. Quick tip for getting good 2x4s from Home Depot/Lowes/Menards is to buy 2x6s or 2x8s and cut them to 2x4 dims, I've had a lot better luck this way. :D

[@smnhpkns]

That’s a great idea, thanks for sharing

[@JonnyBuilds]

Thanks 🙏

[@evelynwaugh4053]

This is super attractive. If one wanted to make it longer, would it be best to use 2×6s for the base, or use a middle support (or both)?

[@larrytowell3237]

Lounging. Awesome build!!

[@FOTOJADAMOstudio]

Lounging! Now this is something even I can build.

[@SDMPoahway]

I love the way your sofa looks. Its so classy. I think I just might put that in my living room as soon as the floors go in.

[@markjching]

beautiful piece

[@athreyashenoy]

Thank you very much for this video and plan. This is my first build and it turned out beautiful.

[@ebonijohnson4442]

I love this build!

[@TheMadisonHang]

@3:45 countersink bits? Looks interesting Saves you money maybe on the screws or whatnot

[@alcoraandrew2983]

I loved this! I may barrow your sofa idea for my future project. 😊

[@BruceAUlrich]

Turned out looking great! Alternating the screws was definitely a good idea.

[@ПавелСаморезов]

классная софа получилась) Рад за вас, с таким хорошим деревом работаете, у нас такого не найдешь)

[@KomarProject]

Great project brother. This would look super cool on a deck.

[@JonnyBuilds]

Thanks man!

[@JANIACASCAIS]

So yes Sir! So much talent ! Beautiful design, not like others basic square sofas I've watched and the best part, it was done with just a few tools 👏👏👏 I am in love with it! I am follow you up and make the same🥰I think I am gonna just and one more back stretch, so with the 3 peaces the cushion will stays in place. Thank you 🙌

[@JonnyBuilds]

Thank you, and tag me on IG when you make yours!

[@TheFirBall]

I just finished mine. Everyone loves it. I am thinking about building a matching chair and maybe coffe table of the same style. that danish oil got sucked up by the pine. Call a few friends over to move it..OMG it is heavy

[@dushwar-e-zindagi881]

Owsum brother so essay 😘😘😘👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@MKentDoss]

Lounging and I will make this

[@madgpol]

Love the design. Thanks for sharing

[@Verbatim.]

Can it be modified so that the seating is a little higher from the ground?

[@dillondavis9615]

Very nice work

[@HypeMike13]

Lounging! Great build! Something to take up the time during these crazy times.

[@FamilyRoots]

So cool ! Nice animations 👍

[@davidstyp]

*sencillamente impresionante* 😀😀😀

[@chrystald.]

I love this design any chance you will be making matching chairs and a coffee table? A full setup.

[@CB71SS]

I think to make a matching chair all you would have to do is narrow the sofa width by half or what ever width you prefer the chair to be. Keep the same depth as the seat and height as the are rest. The table would be something like the sofa seat, interesting idea.

[@CB71SS]

That's supposed to say armrest not are rest, my bad.

[@chrystald.]

Charlie Brown I agree 👍 that would work.

[@CB71SS]

@@chrystald. Thought about the table, the legs could be at the same angle and the top could be like the sofa but put a piece of glass on top to show off the 2 X 4 base. How bout that. You might be able to make end tables the same height at the arm rest and being angled they would snug up close to the sofa. A complete living room suite. :>)

[@JonnyBuilds]

Possibly! Thanks for watching 🙏

[@Chrisgmoore]

Another nice build and not expensive 👍👍👍👍

[@JonnyBuilds]

Thanks 🙏

[@paulsaxby7579]

Lounging on a cool sofa with a coffee and huge box of Donuts.... just like the other Detectives :)

[@831Adventures]

Awesome job sir

[@IppiopaidFEEDBACK]

Not sure how I feel about this piece… However I will take a look at some of your other videos, and give it a thumbs up because it’s not gonna cost me anything and I kind of enjoyed watching it.

[@MoranGuyVideos]

which countersink bit brand name, are you using in this video ? I'm looking for something reliable but not too expensive.
