DIY Modern Outdoor Sofa - Shou Sugi Ban | Limited Tools | Free Plans

[@abela6925]

I built this as my first ever DIY build and it turned out great. I did not use the burning but rather used a dark stain and quickly wiped it off. It didn't turn out looking burnt like I had hoped, but I am really happy the way it turned out. I'd also like to mention that I didn't use a planer and it looks fine. It did mot best to pick out good wood, but since this took me a few days some wood warped after it was taken home. All things considered, I LOVE this on my balcony and 100% recommend this for anybody who is a complete novice. I only used a circular saw for the cuts for those wondering if you need a crazy saw like he has. Thanks, Jonny!

[@fabianotoma8401]

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

[@MrVegas2000]

Thank you! I built one of these over the last two weekends. I used 2"x8"s where your plan used 1"x8" because the 2"x*8"s were actually cheaper and it allowed me to eliminate the under seat bracing. The couch is a beast!

[@diyhuntress]

I'm totally hooked on torching wood right now - love the look of this sofa!

[@ubaydilah7369]

Gak tau

[@krtica15]

Great project and more important easy and simple enough for a average person. That support pieces on the arm rests that are holding the weight of the seating are simply genius, watched bunch of similar videos and never saw a better and simpler solution. And special thanks for the project file.

[@rhondacox8289]

I love this sofa. I'm looking for something like this for my livingroom. I love thick chunky sofas.

[@BillShondaguy59602]

I love how you explain step by step all the way through nice job

[@sinoverlord409]

I like this guy because I like simple especially if you're a beginner DIYer.

[@oscarrmelchor]

When he starting burning the wood. All I could think of is how nice this couch would look like. Such an amazing design.

[@Danejazone]

Made mine recently. It turned out great. It's the envy on my street. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@michaelenglund]

Great build. It helps to get up for older people if the armrests protrudes forward an inch or two to grip with the hand.

[@robmo314]

I finish my and I am so happy with the results, my wife loved it to. thanks.

[@JohnathanAyala]

Best outdoor sofa video I have seen by far

[@D4ddi0G4m3r]

I was trying to make something like this but a single chair. I had an idea of how to do it in my head which looked very similar to yours in construction. I learnt a few good ideas about how to finish the construction. Thanks bro.

[@kishan10000]

Every build should be easy just like this.

[@mauricioorellana2449]

NICE WAY TO MAKE A FURNITURE LIKE THAT!!! LOVE IT

[@muhammedjaved786]

Elegant and simple and best of all can be build with just 2 tools. Thanks for the share.

[@tomjens2046]

What 2 tools? I saw much more (and not beginner tools as well)

[@kuldipmaharjan]

Johnny...Bravo!!!

[@yujiitadori8021]

Very clever and classic method it will also look nice indoor too.

[@michaelmendiola6314]

simple but very useful wooden sofa..I'm a big fan of woodworks but I still lack of the primary power tools until then I hope I could make great project such as yours..

[@andyluchsinger]

Good design - the only one I’ve seen that is properly engineered to not rely on screws for vertical support of the bench. Beautiful finish as well!

[@80RedRock]

Nice build! Be sure to preload those end grains with glue . Simply apply glue to the end-grain. Let it soak in. Apply more as needed until it stops soaking it in. Then continue as normal. This will tremendously improve the bond strength of an end grain glue up.

[@JonnyBuilds]

Good tip, thanks!

[@80RedRock]

Cool. I got this from Steve Ramsey. He owns the channel woodworking for mere mortals. He has a lot of really scaled-down tutorials on woodworking tips and tricks that are super easy to relate to.

[@JorgeVelazquez09]

Bad ass project!

[@minervamartinez5527]

Looking great the wood sofa .

[@joepearson9704]

Very cool. I might try to make this. I was looking to build a bench, but I think I like this better.

[@andrewmorke]

It was just an other DIY segment and then you took a flamethrower to your projecy. That was awesome.

[@REX-sl2vm]

Good job. Hi from Russia !!!

Pretty sweet looking sofa. I like the burnt look.

[@JonnyBuilds]

Thanks, Chris!

Eres un gran carpintero con la mente muy abierta me fijo mucho en sus trabajos para luego realizarlos me encantaría disponer de espacio y tiempo para dedicarme a esto mi padre en paz descanse me incurco mucho ese tipo de vida, si algún día me tocará una lotería ese sería el mayor lujo ke tendría un solar madera y herramientas y por supuesto tiempo muxo tiempo

[@amineguenoun5034]

Wow nice job .

[@wilstjames3111]

Good idea for a sofa bed.

[@nicolascacho8430]

Hey as I see it 's simple and very original

[@dr.douglasrodriguesdesousa7858]

Very good!!!! Congratulations.

[@SmallAxeMP]

I love the torch finish but I would prefer if it wasnt low base and had sheen. Awesome job I love it.

[@JonnyBuilds]

A simple design mod and some spar urethane could fix that. Thanks 🙏

[@SmallAxeMP]

@@JonnyBuilds man I really love it. It's great my preferred sheen is a personal preference but the build and design is awesome. Very impress with the outcome.

[@sanjiv_kalia]

I love your work

[@mdbazir4472]

Nice creation

[@ivdimentia]

Very nice. I liked especially the torching technique!!!

[@iamyourfuture808]

Love the look of that. But can help thinking the bottom cross piece of the side squares might have been better left off so less no contact area with the ground.

[@abdelkaderabdulla5468]

Great job mate

[@ed8083-k3v]

Beautiful work👍🏼

Tnks mr jonney

Johnny, I did my two sofas for my patio with some green cushions it came out beautiful, I wish I can post the picture so you can see the work of your disciple.

[@tomjens2046]

what was the budget for materials ?

[@michaelh.7040]

Beautiful easy job...👏👏

[@MarlonKingShow]

Thanks dude. Think I would spend more money on all the equipment you used to make it than on the wood itself 😂

[@monicaandreavicenciomora3116]

Te estoy viendo desde Chile y encuentro genial lo que hiciste para fabricar tu propio sillón, Saludos :)

Definitely a man cave sofa well done my friend very well done!

[@craftedworkshop]

Hey man, the sofa turned out great! I’m interested to see how the wipe on poly holds up outside, not something I’ve seen for outdoor use before.

[@JonnyBuilds]

I'm actually curios myself. My thought is the torched wood does most of the protection from the elements, and the poly just adds that nice feel. It could potentially be a disaster!

[@JonnyBuilds]

Also, thanks man! Hope things are going great with J5!

[@craftedworkshop]

Jonny Builds for sure, my worry would just be that it’ll peel off. Keep me posted, fun experiment for sure!

[@craftedworkshop]

Jonny Builds and thanks man’
