I appreciate the inclusion of mistakes along the way and their fix. Too many channels hide this crucial FACT and part of woodworking/building.

[@mooyboy911]

I have done some woodworks in the past but this woodwork plan kzbin.infoUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG helps me do much in a far lesser time than i used to do i have already built several projects with this plan and i intend to do many more soon. Thank you so much!

[@mgonzales3884]

It's really refreshing to see a KZbinr make mistakes and embrace it. It makes us beginners feel like we can do it too. Thank you for that

[@Troy-Echo]

A famous Henry Ford quote, "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't - you're right," emphasizes how much attitude determines success or failure. Personally, I LOVE YOUR CAN DO ATTITUDE! I do not know how much training or education you have in wood working, but you see a problem or project, devise a solution and set your mind to doing something, sketch out the idea on paper and make it happen, and do it well! That attitude deserves praise! The issue with the grain raising after you apply your first coat of finish can be fixed by first applying a light layer of plain water which will also raise the grain, then come back and sand it smooth before applying your finish coats. This way you're not sanding away your first layer of finish and breathing any of the finish in along with the dust. I like the way you kept the heartwood and sapwood grouped together. If made for a nice appearance at the end. Considering this was your first build like this and you had not built this before and applied lessons learned for the video, it turned out spot on! We need to rebuild our aging deck first, but once this is done I may build this same design, although I may tilt the back rest on more of an angle and round over the edges so it is harder to hit them and split the end grain or tear out a splinter, and make it easier on my boney body LOL! I'm not sure how the weather is where you live, but I'm in Virginia where we have plenty of rain and constant humidity so I may put a final finish coat of Minwax paste wax on at the end to help give more protection to the wood from the elements. And those thin trash cans for coolers was inspired!

Very cool.. I bought a sofa for indoor with hidden drawers. Not pull out drawers. You take the cushion over and storage underneath. It was so complicated to put together, I had my son do it. Love hidden storage.

[@Zogg1281]

Mistakes are great for learning things. If you stay in your comfort zone and never make a mistake, you'll never grow. I'm sure you learnt a lot on this project...... like measure twice cut once, check your plans twice so you don't have to change the plans on the fly so the project will work. You've also tought a LOT of people what to watch out for when building something like this by having the guts to include your mistakes in the video! To many KZbin creators don't do this, which makes them seam perfect, it also makes it harder for people to have a go because they start making mistakes, few totally inadequate and give up. Thankfully more KZbin creators are realising this and including mistakes, thank you for being one of those people 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 This bench is AWESOME btw 😁👍👍👍👍👍

[@PneumaticAddict]

Thank you! ✌

[@Stephen7475]

Perfect example of something "money can't buy". So you have to build it yourself. Excellent creative design for outdoor furniture.

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Turned out very unique and useful. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep Making. God Bless.

Hello my friend, A beautiful design, well done. Decorative, useful and beautiful. It reflects the beauty of wooden designs. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing. See you. I wish 2021 to bring health, peace and happiness to all people. Happy Christmas. big greetings.

[@diyhuntress]

You know I’m a sucker for projects with hidden storage. 😍

[@PneumaticAddict]

Thanks girl! I'm so disorganized, all take all the storage I can get

[@jerrithbarnette6099]

My wife and I just ran across pneumatic addict, your instruction and workmanship is awesome.

[@jamesmorrison7847]

Excellent design! You did the best outdoor sofa on KZbin.

[@torysetliff]

This design is so satisfyingly clever.

[@alicefranke1572]

I love that you shared all the mistakes. Whether you've been doing this a long time or are a newbie, we all make them!!! Authenticity and reality is appreciated ;-)

[@christopherjc54]

It also gives us noobs more confidence seeing experts make small mistakes knowing it's not so bad if/when we mess up too.

[@ハッサンモハメド]

This is what we should learn at school. Imagine if everyone knew how to make his own sofa or bed or chair, I even saw a video about someone who built his own house. People should learn this stuff and we won't have any problems.

[@chrisshaw7328]

Landed here via your website after looking for a little assistance in making my own draw sliding mechanism... colour me impressed, your like a 1 stop shop for DIY ideas and assistance, quite surprised I've not stumbled upon your channel before now. 10 out of 10, if anybody asks for assistance, I'll send them your way, thanks

[@tresboujay]

Haven’t even seen but 30 seconds and this sofa is already amazeballs!!! 😃🤯😮

[@fitnlite]

Beautiful piece of art! Thank you for sharing.

[@mojavedesertsonorandesert9531]

Came out great! I'm also in hot weather in Palm Springs- my go to finish is good old oil based varnish, it holds up great in the desert sun.

[@installer1571]

I think you did a great job on the outdoor sofa and what I like the most is the fact that you are honest enough to admit your mistakes there are so many people around that refuse to admit their mistakes and I think that's a bad trait because I'm make mistakes all the time and it's good to see that somebody else is making those silly mistakes as well it can be disheartening to be making those sorts of mistakes all the time but when you see other people doing similar things that you are it makes things better well done on the job great idea what I would love to see on all these woodworking videos is to get an idea how long from start to finish it takes because it gives you a realistic view when you plan a project and you have a better understanding on how long it actually will take plus when you have a better view on how long others take to make these projects your less willing to rush through things and make mistakes

[@ecarrillo71]

Very nice build. I agree with you 100% about outdoor cushions...They’re always dirty!

[@karinday6128]

Your builds are clever and refreshing- Cheering you on!!

[@Janggut40]

Beautifull outdoor chair and I love the hiding comparment for the cushion

[@josevillanueva6992]

Wonderful job. Ultra beautiful. Super idea. Your husband is so blessed having a wife and woodworker at the same time. Thanks for sharing. God bless you.

[@josephhsu9060]

Amazing, awesome build.

[@robertkerby2581]

Wow, Wow, Wow! An Absolutely Masterful Build Project! I want to build one for myself! Well done!

[@ryanm2214]

Enjoyed watching! Thanks!

[@Ray-pr4vb]

I like your honesty!!!! You didn’t hide the mistakes. It happens as we see in some tv shows things are looking so smoothly there but in reality it doesn’t always.That’s great you just showed also that part. And you did such a great job you could be proud of. This project looks very nice and useful for years to come. You did a super job 👍👍👍👍

[@andrewbarbato6322]

Love the design. This will be one of my winter projects this year. The only change I'll make is adding some draw glides for the trundle and eliminate the wheels so it could be used on uneven ground a little easier. Thanks, enjoy watching your real life builds.

[@ΓΕΡΑΣΙΜΟΣΣΤΡΑΓΓΑΣ]

So beautiful result congratulations

[@joseestrada353]

Great work, totally borrowing this design for my patio. Thanks!

[@davidpascoe3672]

No matter how many mistakes you make it's inevitable just better planning however great job young lady love it

[@justalurkr]

Beautiful work!

[@declanconnolly3804]

Beautiful build

[@TheHuizenre]

I really enjoyed the build, the design, the storage capabilities, the beautiful wood, thanks a lot!!!

[@farismaryaim]

nice kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKeqYotvoNOMkM0

[@chrisk.1539]

Amazing job.👍🏻. Also you could make the hidden storage below you to turn into a bed.

[@JK-jl1bf]

I liked how you show mistakes what to plan for in the future to avoid them from happening. The issue you had with the 2x4 being too wide is something I can see myself doing and trying to force the wood together when it had a slight twist or it was a bit too wide is probably what made that happen. Live and learn. Mistakes help us learn and the more we build, the more practice we get. On the finish, I saw another KZbinr use an epoxy used for boats and it looked really nice as it hardens the surface of the wood and it’s meant to make the wood waterproof in essence, like wood on a boat. The best part was how you figured out how to hide all of the cushions when not in use. Also the cedar planks was a very swanky touch and added a rustic yet chic look that’s super adorable and invites you to sit and relax. The hidden drink cooler made it “even more better”. I could see a bottle opener under the lid for the bottles that don’t open with a twist top. Stay cool in Arizona.

[@kaeyreed1]

Love the sofa! Brilliant! Also, love your hair!!! Color is beautiful!

[@josephjorgensen3282]

That is a fantastic outdoor sofa

[@georges5233]

Very very very cool! Wow this came out really nice 😁👍🏼

[@BlackDogWoodwork]

Well done. It's not about making mistakes, it's how well you hide/fix them. Lol, thanks for sharing. Love your videos.

[@Urobam]

I made all the mistakes that you could think and that’s the only way to learn, and as well it is another way your brain will think of another creative ideas. As an artist, any piece and every piece that you create, build and make is your own signature; that’s the beauty of it. I learned some new here too😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

Nice project. I think it came out great. And thank you for pointing out your errors to help others think about it and avoid doing the same thing. I look forward to more of your videos.

[@jaidawg75]

You could use the waste of the pickets to make a matching coffee table. This project looks awesome.

[@Firebirddna]

Very clever design. Thanks for sharing.

[@jeeps1509]

You are an amazing builder...really enjoy watching your builds...thanks !!!

[@MrHuggyboo]

Excellent narration and editing. I like this build with the hidden compartments which are really cool features. However, we have to sacrifice looks for these nice fun features.

[@kiwdwks]

Nicely done...great design. Good job!

[@queenofhearts691]

This is an awesome build. I love how it has storage. I don’t think I have seen outdoor patio couch with storage.

[@IkarosAi33]

I love it is awesome. You have a lot of talent. WoW

[@himashady4806]

Great job and excellent idea. Thank you very much for everything you do

[@KaustavMajumder]

Extremely satisfying and inspiring build. Keep it up Elisha! 😎

[@Jones572]

Very cool!...Thanks for sharing..

[@elkhntr4evr421]

Great job! I learned a lot from watching this! I didn’t know using shellac kept wood grain from raising. Any time I make something with wood and use polyurethane, I go over it with steel wool to knock down any bumps! I am in the process of making a wooden table and chairs for our deck. I also didn’t know about the trundle casters. I made a trundle bed and wish would have watched this prior to that, I may have to redo the trundle part of the bed with my new knowledge! Thank you!

[@mrjamesleon]

WoW!!! GREAT job, U have way more tools than I do 😳😁😎✌️👍

[@mssixty3426]

I love everything about this build!

[@yssadelsol8186]

I love your sofa ,the wood look amazing!

[@jameswebb9738]

Nice job!! Looks great

[@davidkline4372]

I love this and want to do something very similar. I live in Bend OR and think it would look great in this climate.

[@redhauscreator146]

I very recently replaced hinges in my kitchen cabinets, because they would not spring closed anymore. Like you I purchased soft close hinges. Your sofa design is really inspired.

[@nancyku6052]

That's a beautiful piece of art works! Keep doing more👍

[@nulung103006]

You did good, but I am just an amateur, so what you do is amazing, I am currently building a garage with a shop so I can step up my ability from amateur to novice. Love the work you do.....

[@elmiguel1869]

Love it..and what I love about your channel is that you talk about your mistakes . Nice work really love the peace

[@Mattisttam]

I love your description and how you do the step by step process. Thanks for sharing this great work!

[@KentuckyWindage22]

I think it's great that you lay claim to your mistakes and actually include them in the video. Great idea for a sofa. And a great job building it.

[@juanmanuelmachucarodriquez2865]

I like your video from the beginning Exelente project

[@theJonnymac]

brilliant solution to the dirty cushions problem. My wife wants a couch like this on the front porch and either we were going to end up with covers that are a hassle or taking them inside all the time. thanks for sharing

[@gerardofargioni5383]

Me encanto que gran trabajo muy bueno muy bueno sigue así saludos

[@petelodge8197]

This is amazing! Love it 👍

[@Demasx]

Really neat! I'd recommend putting the cushions in sealed plastic bags before they go into storage. Your storage is awesome but it's not water-proof or pest-proof. The bags will prevent the cushions from soaking up humidity or condensation or getting infested with creepy-crawlies. When it comes time to pull them out, they're clean inside the bag, you fold the bags up and leave them at the bottom of storage until the season is over.

[@jamesallen6007]

Excellent in all aspects. Well done. Don't worry about your mistakes, I would've mad loads more. 😷👍🇬🇧

[@shingabiss]

Nice build!

[@Slev01]

That's inspirational!! I would celebrate if I could build that as you did so eloquently!
