[@327lwalton]

I love how your husband doesn’t interfere with what you’re doing or take over. Just comes in for a kiss or to check in with you.

[@cyhomer]

I think that was her son….

[@heathermacleod7068]

Stunning work as always Mary!!! The sneak peek of the bathroom is so exciting!!! Can’t wait to see more of the cottages!!!! 🤗🤗🤗

[@ellaaltman2137]

It's the little details that make a stay memorable....these benches, so beautiful and functional are part of those details. Ms. M, as usual, beyond talented and creative!

[@teresasciortino9090]

You are amazing, everything that you do/make turns out looking so professional. Great job Mary!!!

[@maryhelenhayes6859]

Love the benches. You did a great job! So talented ❤️

[@annettemurielle]

As I watched you build the spa benches I was struck by your skill and so impressed. I really do enjoy your videos so very much, Mary.

[@cheriwilliams9861]

Love watching the building process! Beautiful benches! ❤

[@janh519]

Yes, your spa benches are lovely!

[@laurajeffcoat4731]

So enjoyed this video Mary. Pebbles steals the show every time. Such a beautiful fur baby and she loves you so much. Your benches came out so nice. Your talent is absolutely amazing. Will definitely check out the Shea butter 🤗💞💕💓

[@cherylclements9061]

Love your spa benches. You made it look so easy, even the sanding (which has always been my least favorite part). I really love your first spa bench in your home! The legs look like they are angled out, giving it a much prettier profile. Thanks for sharing this project with us. Blessings in Christ Jesus...

[@teresa4417]

Those benches are just gorgeous Mary! You are such a talented lady!! My grandmother who passed many years ago would have loved your channel because she would build too and in a time when most women did not take on such a job. Thanks for sharing!! ♥️

[@artsyladie7]

Beautiful job on those spa benches, Mary! They are perfect for your purpose. What fun to make! The body butter looks wonderful and I am going to order some. You are blessed.

[@marycaron4891]

I love these benches!! Beautiful! Just a thought, when I sand the project I use a piece of that “rubbery” shelf liner on the work bench to protect the wood from scratches. It also holds the project from moving around during sanding! ❤️

[@dawnklinter9949]

Excellent benches! Would love to see more easy furniture builds….maybe outdoor chairs, outdoor side tables? You are so talented!

[@shanimarais9695]

Those benches are super cute! Well done Mary 💕 I'm so glad you didn't paint them, they look awesome with the clear varnish.

[@susishearer9531]

Mary I'm in awe of your craftsmanship skills and your endless creativity. The benches are so beautiful and high-end looking. Would you ever consider making and selling these??

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

Wow, those benches are amazing, well done !!! The body butter sounds Devine and pebbles is a show stopper 😊 I’m telling ya, the only thing you could do better would be to have a video everyday ….heehee Blessings

[@claudialautenslager8695]

you really need a dust catcher on the miter saw. You don't need to be breathing that saw dust. ;)

[@vickieschulze1120]

Mary - you did such a fabulous job 'teaching and illustrating' in this video! You are a natural talent! Bless you!

[@Earthy-Artist]

Mary the benches look beautiful and are so well crafted! For me they seem a little too complicated for my first time project though. I'm sure those who watch your channel who have more experience could make them with no problem. I've repaired furniture but have never built any, I think I need something a bit simpler to make for the first time.

[@daisyy99]

Mary, you and Pebbles so sweet together. Your spa benches are very attractive. A really nice design.

[@sharleenparrino2297]

Amazing how you never disappoint! Love your gentle spirit and skill level! ❤️✝️💪🌹

[@beverlylones9552]

The two spa benches are absolutely gorgeous! The tile in the bathroom is stunning!💛🌻💛🌻

[@vlrissolo]

I love watching your Channel. You have so many interests and I love that the family gets involved. Everyone benefits. But thank you for a great informative video and I loved the body butter at the end! I can't wait to get some! If you're looking for suggestions for fragrance I think just lemon is probably one of my favorite all time Aromas!

[@marykaren7542]

The benches are perfection! Could Pebbles be any cuter?? Love your cats.

[@AChicagoWoman]

Dear Mary, The benches you made look so well made and they’re beautiful. As for the whipped body butter, I want to suggest lavender and vanilla (an unbeatable combination) and cinnamon and nutmeg. A white pine and clove would be heavenly, too.

[@gibbsacre2984]

I hope you put that saw dust in your herb garden. It is great for soil and composting.

[@gemigirl5521]

You’re so skilled. Beautiful work.

[@peggy-ann1961]

I can’t explain it as I’m not the least bit interested in building something, but I find it totally fascinating watching you fabricate pieces! You explain things so well and love the music when you “ speed up” ! Thanks Mary, I’m sure there will be a few of those benches made! ❣️🇨🇦

[@csclose]

The benches are beautiful, Mary! Perfect for your cottage showers. You should sell kits…ready to assemble! Cindi (from WV). 🥰

[@laurieanne9712]

Great job, Mary! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@conniebyrd3232]

Gorgeous bench. how much did they end up costing you to build

[@karenmoring8217]

The benches are so beautiful! I am so impressed! ❤️

[@anagoncalves9723]

I wish I had half of your skills with wood working you make it look so easy love watching you and getting inspiration.❤🧡💛💚💙

[@heatherfitzgerald7260]

So kind of you to give measurements and a little tutorial for the spa seats. Also, I love the shadow line the miter saw gives to where the cut should be. Ours doesn’t have that. How handy! I will have to show my hubby that feature!💜

[@terrytt2932]

The pieces you make or re-make are pieces of art. It would be good if you signed and dated them in some small, obscure place. They are treasures no matter how small or big and should be treated as such! 💝

[@conniehusband1365]

Love your benches Ms. MARY! Really admire your skillful ability to produce such great pieces. Could use some of your butter too.

[@noelle7714]

You could put a picture up with all the dimensions etc, and people can take screen shots. I do that all the time. Just an idea.

[@vondamiller2428]

They are beautiful! You continue to amaze me with your skills and talent!!!

[@maryowens9179]

Spa benches turned out great. You do wonderful build.love them.Thank you for sharing this ❤

[@vlrissolo]

Mary I would love to know approximately what it cost you to make those. I almost purchased one of those for myself and a friend recently from Amazon. Of course, I'm sure it's not nearly as structurally sound as yours but since I do not have all the tools you do, I don't have a lot of choices. I wondered if it was worthwhile to spend what they were asking?

[@ozarkview928]

I have the same question

[@susanskinner8855]

I think you could build a house. Excellent job!

[@tinasalobecke66]

Love your shower benches! Wish you could sell some in your shop! You are so talented Mary ❣️

[@georgiasmith9477]

I love LOVE the spa benches! 🥰 Looks perfect in the shower.

[@susiewheeler8197]

WOW really nice job!

[@debiallen4053]

I have the kreg pocket hole jig 720... LOVE IT! Of course being a woodworker also I dont always use it but it's great for projects like this. Adoreable little benches. I made a different style for myself but my sister would live this. Ty Mary they are so cute.

[@davidhatfield5714]

Really nice job! Just because it’s just how my brain works, what was estimated cost for this project? I googled a few and cost started at around $60 and of course up to as much as $160. Love Wednesday morning with Mary.(KH)

[@haydenandhunter]

OMG Mary, i just watched your "Bloopers" video AGAIN. I laugh so hard every time i watch it. You ARE Human!!! Thanks for all that you do.

[@annroberts5965]

Mary. You simply amazed me. What an incredible gift God has given you. Thank you for sharing it with us. Ann from Va.

[@alishadawn2561]

Goodmorning Mary 💛 enjoyed todays video. 😍( always enjoy your videos) Seems you are so excited about your new adventure with the cottages. Wonderful to be able to see the joy and excitement in your work. So encouraging. Your skin does look good, 😮😍 think I may try the body butter. Also love the golden tan. Hugs, xoxoxoxo

[@barbie3166]

Hi Mary! Terrific job! 👍🏻 You're so gifted! I was just curious how these are holding up. Not certain how much action they’ve gotten yet but thought I’d ask anyway. Thank you so sweetly for the tutorial! I’ve been wishing for one of these for ages but they’re so costly. But now, I know how to create one! Just not certain yet what kind of wood to utilize. I hope to hear back from you! 🫶🏻

[@barbarapark5432]

I am finally visiting in Holmes County from West Tennessee. Found your booth and bought item but am disappointed that we could not find more true Amish culture. Peddlers Market is just expensive boutique.

[@nancygomez1883]

Oh pebbles…you are sooo stinking cute! Love your cat. As always Mary , you entertained me and inspired me with how simple you make a project look. Not to mention how beautiful the final project turns out! Don’t ever change your natural gift of creativity and trueness! Beautiful! XOXO

[@janiceaogara5573]

I love watching your videos. I only found your videos a few weeks back. You are an inspiration. Moving into a new home in a few weeks and love your style which I will be coping.Thank you ♥️

[@chiara3403]

Loved this video, these benches are gorgeous and so well made, Mary! One of my favorite diy so far.

[@susand8979]

What a wonderful project, and so impressive that you come up with everything! The only question I have is what size & type of screws did you use? And what length of nails? I struggle with that part of carpentry being very new to it! Thank you for sharing!

[@wandaburton3723]

Good morning sweetie. Thank you so very much for sharing this project!! You continually amaze me with your skills and creativity! I know you have a life to live but I could watch you every day! 🥰 I just have a suggestion that you add screw in silicon pads to the bottom of the legs. These will add safety to prevent slipping and also keep the legs from sitting in water while trying to dry. See you next week!!

[@janiebirdthorn]

Mary, those came out so nice, but I have a question. I have a Kreg jig, but always thought you had to use their screws, but it looks like you used regular screws. Is that right? They’re not Kreg screws? I hope that’s true because regular screws cost much less than their brand.

[@vcherylcollins6290]

Those benches are just amazing. (As usual) Can't wait to make one for my sister (and maybe myself as well). Great video. Now to go back and watch it again to get the measurements. 😉❤

[@patriciaskitch2341]

What great spa benches. These would be ideal as end tables in a sun room or covered patio, or in your home. You amaze me Mary. Your body butter looks divine!

[@dawnmotakef3072]

Body butter is sold out. Can’t wait for a restock! Would love a masculine scent also, like eucalyptus. Thank you Mary!

[@ZeoCyberG]

Nice work but even if you don't do that much woodworking I'd recommend wearing a dust mask when using your power tools. Even with plenty of outdoor air there's quite a bit of particulates going into the air that you could be breathing in that won't be good for your lungs over the years. The really fine particulates are accumulative exposure concerns as they're too small for your body to get rid of them. Especially, when you're cleaning and using the compressed air on your table saw, etc. Some woods are a bit toxic and can cause allergic reactions after prolonged exposure to the saw dust to watch out for as well. RZ Mask is pretty popular for something that can be quickly put on and taken off, along with a few other options, but 3M has a number of options that will also provide vapor protection when doing spray finishes, painting, etc. work. with replaceable filter cartridges that you can get for the specific work you're doing. Again, nice work, just always good to be a little pro-active on wearing safety gear when working with power tools even when your risks may seem to be low.

[@jessiehanson134]

Mary, I hope you’re wearing ear protection!! Nothing worse than not being able to hear your hubby!! Great project! Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@dannusmk1578]

Love, love your workmanship! You’re my inspiration. THANK YOU

[@opalpipkin6285]

I love the spa benches. You are amazingly talented. I am impressed with how you so skillfully use the table saw and the drills. you never cease to amaze me! Thanks for sharing.

[@bluesky7226]

Beautiful! Mary, have you looked into using Tung Oil to make your benches more waterproof?

[@dorothythorpe6183]

Pebbles adores you! And I adore Pebbles! Thank you for the very clear directions. They look beautiful!

[@maryballantyne7993]

Mary those benches are beautiful! Wow! There is so much detail In the construction. As always Mary you are incredible. I so enjoy your videos.. I also loved one of your sons sneaking in for a hug before he left, I loved that.😍

[@angelahagood7143]

You just amaze me how you are constantly coming up with new ideas for your business yet still have time to take care of your family, work, get your cabins ready…whew! Maybe one day you’ll have a Mary vitamin that we can buy! 🥰

[@hildamclawhorm6305]

The benches look awesome 😍Mary is there anything you can’t do😇😇😇😇👋

[@lynnjohnson1413]

Cute spa benches, do you think it would be beneficial to put some kind of plastic ends on the bottoms of the legs so as the water drains down ward they won’t hold water between the end wood and the tile floor. To keep the ends from rotting and/ or expanding. Just thinking. Body butter would be good for the bottoms of your feet at night after showering. So thoughtful of your husband comes to check on you. ♥️ Pebbles adores you! It’s so evident.

[@vickidavis3598]

These benches are so nice, would love to have one myself, I'm impressed how well you work with wood, and create items, I have one question, when you sweep up your saw dust,and shavings, I noticed you put them probably in the trash, why not place the shavings in your flower beds, I do that ,and it just adds to the soil amendments.

[@dawnryan3874]

You are the most talented and yet so humble person I have ever watched on KZbin. I love how you stop to mention the birds, frogs, weather etc. Everything you make or make over is beautiful. I am in awe of your talent. Your videos entertain, inspire and also relax me. There is something so peaceful about your channel. Congratulations on doing so well with your Etsy store. I love how you let us know what is new and available there. I love all that you do. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@ecasugay]

I live all your videos especially furniture makeover. I don’t think I’ll be going them but I like watching cause it’s fir me to get ideas, love it.

[@jacquiepitfield9805]

You are one clever and inspirational lady. Lavender and lemon sounds scrumptious, might have to try one.💜💜

[@mlm7598]

What a perfect addition to the shower and bath area. I need to try one of these. I think they are just going to be loved especially as you say for shaving etc. Beautiful job! Love the body butter as well.........I may need to try that. The bathroom at the cottage looked amazing for what I could see and excited to see the whole reveal! Blessings

[@tracybarnes6608]

Mary you are amazing those benches look so professional. That body butter sounds lovely, I might have to try some of that xxx

[@elizabethcline4294]

Hey mary! Just wanted to comment and say that my family just spent a week in amish country and we passed your cottages several different times, and just no when we passed them we saw that several vehicles were there including both of yours! Me and my sister were so excited! Can’t wait until they are all finished and can book a few nights in one of them😜 God bless!🙂

[@BasketsAndBoxwoods]

Mary, What great benches. Inspires me to learn about our table saw. Also, do you have a date set as to when you will be taking reservations for cottage? Thanks for sharing all you do.

[@Nancy-ii5yo]

Beautiful benches!These are my favorite videos where you build or update something.

[@kathleenfleming8191]

Absolutely beautiful Mary love the benches they look so elegant in the new cottage bathrooms you are so talented in so many ways you keep drawing me in more and more with every video you put out I’m always wondering what you have up your sleeve next lol keep up the good work you do Mary God bless you your husband and your boys 💕💕💕

[@jenniferdahl4475]

I’m not really into wanting a bench but, that gave me an idea of making a teak or cedar Bath mat. I hate the rugs. I’d like something absorbent. Maybe you could make one of those?

[@merrilyhines5430]

You are an amazing young woman. I really enjoy watching all the projects you tackle so successfully!

[@sarabates2046]

Visited Addy’s Fabric shop yesterday to get your soap. Thanks for the tip. We hope to stay at one of your cottages some day and it will be cool to see some of the things I have seen you make. 😁

[@BuckeyeCrossStitcher]

Love the benches!... Unscented is my scent. I'm allergic to everything!

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

Mary, try marine spar varnish on items you want to use is a wet environment. It comes in gloss or satis. I used it on my outside house doors and it works like a charm. Just an option. You can purchase through Amazon or at Home Depot. Benches are very nice.

[@atilehc7825]

You are much better than a Carpenter! Loved to see you working, greetings from Germany!

[@tc-gd8ln]

You are just amazing! Those benches turned out to be so beautiful. With the touch of home made soap and now body butter. . . . i am in awe. Love this video. Would love a tour of the cottages when complete.

[@joannecooper4592]

You are amazing. Just decide to build spa benches and, boom, they are done to perfection.

[@brendaburow3917]

Stopped in Berlin to see your booth. Love your channel and all your creations! Enjoyed the scenery in your area. 😍

[@kittybabymm]

WOW Mary There is not a thing that you can't do.. you're so talented I applaud you ! See you next time

[@sharonhorsley4394]

Stock the candles in both places. Enjoyed watching the viedo.

[@childoftheking9907]

Just a suggestion... You could put some little chairs glides into the bottom of the legs just so they would set just slightly out of the water when not in use. Maybe it would help with not swelling or rotting the wood quite as quickly. 😊

[@ConservativeVeteran]

You are amazing, Mary!

[@peterwhite9261]

Beautiful job on the spa benches. Yes fall is approaching indeed. Best wishes.

[@НаталияКанева-э2с]

Beautiful benches Mary. Pebbles barely fits on your lap :), so cute!

[@ashleyowens1093]

I learn something with each of your videos! Beautiful.

[@candacekesting1786]

I use some of the oils in the butter on my face and love it . Those oils are excellent for dry skin and they soak in very well leaving a dewy look. Love it !!
