How to Build Bench Seats with Storage | Mitre 10 Easy As DIY

[@humansnotai4912]

I literally sat motionless for the entire duration of that video. It's mesmerising watching someone so good at their craft.

[@carlhobbs1225]

Absolutely the best tutorial video I have ever seen on any project. Clear, detailed instructions without any waffle. Brilliant, thank you.

[@mitre10nz]

We love hearing this feedback Carl, thanks heaps for the support 🤗 ^Cam

[@SWalkr]

I still use these Mitre 10 guides when I have woodworking projects to accomplish. Love his explanations and easy to follow directions. Makes for a nice refresher for non-professionals and DIY.

[@matthewclarke3989]

These tutorial videos are so well done. Straightforward, clear and practical without blatant promotion of unnecessary products.

[@TommyMerry]

In watching this, you make me feel like I could build an entire house all by myself!.... I couldn't, but, while I'm watching this video.... I feel like "Super Carpenter" ;-)

[@mitre10nz]

😄 so glad to hear it Tommy

[@alpachino468]

I wish I had this chap's skill and knowledge...

[@charlierich4267]

6:16 cracks me up every time About to attempt this!!! Here we go!! 🤞🏻

[@myoneblackfriend3151]

This looks great and I am enjoying the accent as well. Thank you for sharing.

[@TheAtlanticwarrior]

Used this Video as a template for my own banquette seating, altered to allow for sloped back support. excellent presentation, using MM instead of imperial, as every American vid does (What are they thinking?) For anyone trying this , just remember that the above, is working from a true floor and wall , maybe a small added presentation to show how to allow for floor and wall scribing if needed. Otherwise you are my new go to bloke for inspiration.

[@sweetpea22000]

This is not an American video, this is in New Zealand.

[@OTHPM]

how much slope - Im wanting to do the same!

[@seanworl]

Very nice project and some of the best instructions & video editing I have seen! Thank you!

[@mitre10nz]

Glad it was helpful! ^Charlie

[@julia7356]

This is soo good!! I was planing on building this exact bench before I saw this tutorial and wow it’s so simple

[@mitre10nz]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jennyjefferis1]

This is brilliant, thank you. Clear, simple, professional finish.

[@mitre10nz]

You're welcome Jenny. Will you give this project a go, do you think? ^Kane

[@ronin6932]

Great video, Bro. I love it when we measure things using millimeters instead of inches.

[@alldaydavis3]

just came across this video and I really appreciate you putting it together, very helpful.

[@mitre10nz]

Cheers, MD. Glad you enjoyed it. ^Ryan

[@Kilgoran]

Your content is on point man, good job! Going to attempt this at home =)

[@metv6858]

Brilliant work sir 👌🏻

[@mitre10nz]

Thank you! Cheers! ^Cam

[@satchman2000retro]

brilliant tutorial, thanks for taking the time to show this clearly step by step! Subscribed off the back of this :)

[@mitre10nz]

Thanks for the sub!

[@KBBAKTHA]

Brilliant design with optimum use of material and great build quality. Thanks for sharing.

[@m1421]

Great job. Other videos seem to over engineer this with lots of timber supports which are not needed. This is plenty strong.

[@vitaliypenkov]

Very well detailed. Thanks! the only question I have why the right hand bottom corner of plywood is not secured. (top rear secured to the wall button, front bottom secured to the floor button, but rear bottom kind of hanging)

[@jasonrose2305]

Great informative video thanks just built one today with 3 side went like a dream following your instructions 👍

[@ibsn87]

Jason Rose how many sheets of plywood and of what size did you buy? TIA.

[@edsrich9203]

Really simple to follow, easier than installing an IKEA furniture

[@leebee1989]

Great video, well explained. Given me plenty to think about. Shame timber and sheet material is so expensive over here right now (UK).

[@sienwl7616]

Excellent job. Learnt good tips out of this. Thanks Stan. Keep up the good work!

[@88blackandwhite88]

Excellent video. Well done!

[@mitre10nz]

Cheers Ryan!

[@salcrimi3273]

Awesome videos, thanks guys!

[@mitre10nz]

No worries, thanks Sal

[@tomcopeland3259]

Can you put s cut list into your description?? Thanks great video!

[@barakau]

Unreal skills being shared here

[@jarrodcovey8902]

How many sheets of 2' x 4' plywood did you need to complete this project?

[@ID_Berninator]

My total bench length for my project was just under 3 meters. I got 3 sheets of 4’x8’ bc I was learning along the way but if you’re an experienced wood worker you could get away with 2.

[@samsonlee9789]

My kitchen has porcelain tile on the floor so I am reluctant to drill into it. Do you think it will be okay if I don't? Great video!

[@ryanhernandez8388]

That glue bead he can do 👌🏽

[@bill35131]

Thanks very much, I have made this with your expert guidance and I’m very happy with the result. What do you think would be the best type of hinge to use for the recessed storage lid? Thanks.

[@mitre10nz]

Hey Billy, glad to hear it! Pop in and have a chat to the team at your local store and they will be able to advise you on hinge options for this project ^Matt

[@ciebarone]

Great video, totally clear instructions that are easy to follow. Could you use MDF instead of plywood for this?

[@mitre10nz]

Plywood is a lot stronger and will withstand any contact with water too so would definitely be preferred for this type of project. ^Meg

[@wordbabcock]

Great video. Does the front panel/ kick board need an angle top and bottom? Thanks.

[@mitre10nz]

Hi there! Stan has created a 15 degree angle on the front! ^Cam

[@PaulsViewsReviews]

Love it! thanks so much!

[@jazminetihema-keepatangaro1942]

Awesome video

[@mitre10nz]

Thanks for the feedback Jazmine 👍 ^Billie

[@rasheedahmuhammad284]

Hi, I’m happy to have come across your video which was great, absolutely fantastic and easy to follow. You have great skills! What did you do to keep the seat cushion from sliding? Did I miss something or did you just staple the cushion and slid it on the frame? How do you keep it from sliding when people sit on it?

[@mitre10nz]

Hi, Because we want the cushion to be able to be lifted off to access the storage underneath it is not attached, this also allows for easier cushion cleaning. But because of the wood on the underside, it doesn't really slip. But if you didn't want the storage access you could look at a more permanent solution.

[@rasheedahmuhammad284]

Thank you so much for your reply. You also gave me the Velcro idea like you did on the top cushion since I will not be having the storage. Thanks again.

[@rimamood4770]

Raimi has also produced several successful television series and founded his own production company, Renaissance Pictures, in 1979. Recently, he worked as the producer of The Possession, and the 2013 remake of Evil Dead.

[@mulahk8340]

Great job👍how much is the budget $?

[@elwood212]

Mitre 10 SHOPPING LISTS would be handy.

[@mitre10nz]

Kia ora Elwood, you can find the PDF guide (which includes a list of the materials and tools you'll need) here: www.mitre10.co.nz/guides-and-advice/guide/how-to-build-bench-seats-with-storage

[@ID_Berninator]

Important note: there is a 15° cut on the bottom AND top of the front panel. Otherwise it won’t meet flush with the top pieces.

[@luiznunesjunior830]

Just wonderful... Congrets for the video and instructions!!! :D :D :D It will be very helpful

[@billswifejo]

It would be helpful to know how to accommodate the skirting board.

[@drigondii]

So maybe I missed it, but did you use an 85 at the bottom of your front panels or did those edges get left as square?

[@mitre10nz]

HI Dirk, check out the full guide here www.mitre10.co.nz/guides-and-advice/guide/how-to-build-bench-seats-with-storage ^Ryan

[@imabagpiper]

Great video, thanks. I cannot buy 20 x 60 timber, would 25mm by 50mm suffice?

[@danimal3162]

Great job, Bro!

[@rayprice5248]

Great job brother, like all your work it’s very detailed and great explanation 🙌🏽

[@liamcaley7303]

What thickness of foam was used please?

[@randrianjafiniarivoandriso6687]

I like yours tutorial,'' it's very good

[@TheAtlanticwarrior]

Looking at the comments below: in reply to " suleyman kamran 3 months ago I did it and more (I got the excuse to buy a track saw) and I used only a Hand as well. It cost me approx 350 euro all in. I used 5 sheets of Ply at 36 euro each (don't know if that cheap or expensive in other countries, but I consider it a bit pricey and 157 for the Saw) I have off cuts that i can use for other projects. Putting this up there so others interested can have a price guide.

[@theyeti213]

How much did you spend on materials?

[@multicategoryvideo6813]

Nice but build with lampshade and aquarium , tile, carpet,table draws and wheels

[@drewmagnus3564]

Any tips for fixing to laminate wood floor with concrete under?

[@mitre10nz]

Hey Drew, pop in and have a chat to the team at your local Mitre 10 (or other local hardware store if you're not in NZ) - they'll be able to give you some tips for your specific project 😃

[@mirooovuujjj7918]

Love it... great job

[@SitrysStar]

can this same style be built outdoors???

[@mitre10nz]

Best to have a chat to the team at your local store about this one - they'll be able to help you with any changes needed to make sure it's suitable for outside at your place ^Matt

[@nasseralbalushi3918]

Great job

[@lemniscate4065]

I followed your video, and i did a bench seat myself...I would like to share a picture to show the result. do you have any website ? really thank you for this DIY video.

[@mitre10nz]

Hi Jonas - we'd love to see the result! Here's a link to our Facebook page: facebook.com/mitre10/ ^James

[@katmarsh241]

What is the thickness of the foam (for seat and backrest)?

[@mitre10nz]

HI Kat- 75mm is a great thickness, you can use thicker though if you prefer :) ^Ryan

excellent. Thanks

Could I do this outside using external MDF or would Pywood be more sensible? Thanks!

[@soltrain7949]

You need treated wood like marine plywood I'd say. Also you'd need an outdoor fabric like canvas for cushions and backrests...hope this helps

[@trini6277]

How can I get materials list?

[@ItzCoopzFtw]

You could ask your local building supplies place, they would know. This looks to be inside. So it looks like, L:2400mm x W:600mm T:18mm (untreated) Plywood. L:2400mm x W:60mm T:20mm (untreated) Pine. PVA Glue and 30mm or 40mm square screws.

[@saulsteward4063]

Can you give me the measurements in American 😂

[@kevinleeobermeyer5601]

cm- inches divide by 2.54 mm -inches divide by 25.4

[@davidroberts3223]

Nice carpentry but your upholstery work made me cringe .

[@williswise8332]

How wide did he mk the wall plate?

[@mitre10nz]

Hey there, the wall plate fits between your 2 sides of 18mm ply. So you'll want to take 36mm off the length of your bench seat. Check out the written version of the guide here: www.mitre10.co.nz/guides-and-advice/guide/how-to-build-bench-seats-with-storage ^Matt
