Nice Design... Here's a few Important Tips... I have a lot of homemade outdoor furniture (hardwood by the way) and rain and sunlight are forces to be reckoned with. I would suggest after you complete filling ALL cracks, holes, etc along with your staining, etc to seal them with a solid two part polyurethane floor sealer and do it again and again and again... especially with soft wood. Then after several coats of sealer than switch and put on your Topcoat and again several coats. Otherwise your nice furniture will warp, separate and rot. Ask me how I know... yes, even hardwood takes a beating outside, so never allow ANY cracks or crevices that would allow ANY water to gain access or you will be crying the blues before long. That said... again Nice Design. I would suggest a waterproof glue as well like Titebond Three and the use of some hardwood dowels at key stress points. Stainless steel screws and brad nails would also be a major plus... jus' sayin... if you're building it to last. One final note... old fashioned Bondo makes a good filler and is easy to stain. If you do it right... you won't even notice it has been used. Thumbs Up on your video... Very Good Documentation and camera work in your steps... Subscribed... and God Bless You.

@DIYGene 9 ай бұрын

Thanks Kevin, This is some great advice. I have never thought of using bondo as a wood filler. Thanks again for all the great suggestions and God Bless.

They look great and best w/o the cushions. I would drive a screw or two through each seatback upright into the side support to give the seatback some extra strength. That way you're not relying on the "Kreg" screws and glue as the only fasteners preventing the chair and couch from being recliners.
