Make $300 with FIVE 2x6's | A Simple Bench Build that SELLS | DIY

[@timwilson659]

I built something similar last year, just a larger table. Man was it heavy once i put it all together. Used pallet wood for it. I wound up attaching the legs with inserts so they could be removed, and dropped in leg levlers to account for uneven floors

[@OutoftheWoodsWork]

Sounds awesome man, I have a bad habit of building stuff so heavy I need help to get it off the work bench. I'd say this bench weighs about 50 lbs

[@RYwoodview]

That is a terrific design, both in appearance and to build. Thank you!

[@OutoftheWoodsWork]

Much appreciated

[@robertmceuen3630]

For folks that dont know: squaring up the corners and sanding a little turns "ordinary" lumber into some pretty nice looking wood for projects. Thanks.

[@OutoftheWoodsWork]

That's what I try to tell people, if you take your time and look you can find some pretty neat stuff

[@paskvil8291]

spreading the glue with a finger, no respirator for the polyurethane application... i feel right at home :) i would prefer legs on the bench, but that's just my taste, and easy to adapt... nice and simple build, thanks!

[@OutoftheWoodsWork]

Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for watching! I should probably be a lil more cautious, but I suck smoke and dig through ash all summer long so... ya know!

[@bigjoe8922]

Thanks for the video you did a great job . Looks really nice

Thank you good build,good video,good project, and simple enough for beginners! I showed the video to my wife and she is very excited to build it. New subscriber here. And keep the faith don’t let the bad comments get you down. Those who can do those who can’t send negative comments 😊

[@OutoftheWoodsWork]

Thanks for the encouragement... I'm just here to give tips and try to use my knowledge as a resource to benefit others both on YT and the Neighborhood

[@bartschanck5444]

Nice work!

[@OutoftheWoodsWork]

Thanks!

[@bartschanck5444]

Do you have rough dimensions and angle degrees?

[@OutoftheWoodsWork]

@bartschanck5444 top was 44" long point to long point. The legs were 22" and the bottom was 36" the angles are 22 1/2° the depth of everything is 12" and all the slabs are 2 1/2". Thanks for watching and I will be happy to answer any more questions

[@bartschanck5444]

@OutoftheWoodsWork Thank you for the info, and have a good day!

[@OutoftheWoodsWork]

@bartschanck5444 anytime, thanks for watching

1:56 that’s not butcher block. Traditional butcher blocks are made of end grain, lot long grail. Long grain will quickly dull even the highest quality kitchen knives. However with end grain, the fibres split apart, helping to preserve the hone on the blade.

[@OutoftheWoodsWork]

Good thing I won't be cutting anything on this bench, by DEFINITION butcher block can be end grain OR edge grain. I also make knives, but the mansplanation is appreciated!

[@214rwoz]

I really like your garden bench, nice work ! Thank you for all your time and effort. 1in7

[@OutoftheWoodsWork]

Thanks for taking your time to watch

[@OutoftheWoodsWork]

1in7?

[@luvshak3095]

Awesome video. This is definitely something to look to selling during the early spring. Can you share the dimensions of the top? How long were the 2.5" strips?

[@OutoftheWoodsWork]

This one was a bit of a test run, I'd like to try doing some with jointery. The top is 44" long point to long point the legs are 22" and the bottom is 36" and the depth of everything is 12" all angles are 22 1/2° Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any more questions

[@bobbyb1607]

What kind of stain did you use? There isn't very much blotching. It looks like the wood is Doug fir and hemlock. Those types of wood are usually prone to blotching. Looks good!

[@OutoftheWoodsWork]

It's just your typical minwax stain. The wood is Southern Pine, the lack of splotchyness is due to to the amount of sanding I did and liberally applying the stain and fading it all together. Thank you for watching

[@greatgrandpaswoodworking]

Are there written pland with the measurements?

[@OutoftheWoodsWork]

No sir no written plans, I kinda just layed out some scrap pieces to mock up the design. Top is 44" Legs are 22" Bottom is 36" depth of everything is 12" and the slabs are 2 1/2" thick, all angles are 22 1/2°

[@tedbrown7908]

The wood alone is more than 23 dollars. Current Box store prices for that wood is around 37 to 40 dollars.

[@OutoftheWoodsWork]

I guess the next video I'll have to post the receipt. Maybe lumber is just cheaper in south MS

[@jbb3141]

@@OutoftheWoodsWork Great job BTW! I just checked my local HomeDepot in the DFW area of Texas and buying 5 after taxes is about $43. If you buy 50 or more at a time, that drops the price for 5 down to about $35 but still a good profit even with the higher cost.

[@OutoftheWoodsWork]

@jbb3141 You can also lower your costs by buying longer boards, it just happened everything worked out with the 8fts with very minimal drop, also I hate trying to manage 12-16ft boards in my shop

[@tomtimmons2228]

May I ask what the miter degrees are! Great idea.

[@OutoftheWoodsWork]

22 1/2° for all of them! Thanks for watching and feel free to ask any more questions

[@jeclky]

ce banc est splendide avec une belle teinte , realisé rapidement.Mais je suis legerement decu pour les assemblages vous avez tout l'electroportatif pour realiser des emboitements sans vis comme des grosses queues d'aronde... Cela dit felicitation pour votre travail.

[@OutoftheWoodsWork]

You are correct, but given this video is aimed at a "beginner" audience. Thanks forvwatching!

[@greatgrandpaswoodworking]

Nice bench video. I get 2x6x8 ay Home Depot for just over $5.00 each, Just subscribed.

[@OutoftheWoodsWork]

You can find really nice material at the box stores if you take your time and look, you can find really unique grain patterns, Ya just gotta take the time and look for it!

[@creatd]

What kind of price are you asking for with these? I know it varies from area to area but I'm building up inventory to sale in the spring as well and just comparing. :)

[@OutoftheWoodsWork]

@@creatd I sold this one for $300

[@jbb3141]

@@OutoftheWoodsWork Did you sell it by word-of-mouth or off a site like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace?

[@OutoftheWoodsWork]

@jbb3141 it was a commissioned piece that I was given alot of "artistic freedom"

[@soujrnr]

Nice bench, but if that lumber only cost you $23 to build it, you must have bought the lumber in 1973. Given the prices of lumber nowadays, nothing is cheap to build anymore unless it's made out of free pallets or cheap cedar pickets.

[@OutoftheWoodsWork]

No sir these were bought last week for $4.43 each

[@OutoftheWoodsWork]

I'm also always on the look out for anything "reclaimable"

nice design. i'll bet that would translate well into a hall table design as well if it were taller.

You are absolutely right, I will look into frawing something up

I am not taking you seriously at all

[@OutoftheWoodsWork]

Aww MAN!!!

[@jeffhildreth9244]

Why is it that the majority of "wood workers" with a you tube channel focus on cheap material, and short cutting effort for a quick, grossly over priced product?

[@TimR1099]

Profit

[@Itsreallymarcus]

Because most of these KZbinrs show beginner friendly products because high end woodworkers aren’t sitting on KZbin watching others build. “Cheap materials” and basic tools are more in reach and easier to obtain for a mass majority of people looking for ideas. If you can do a much better job we are all waiting for your KZbin channel to start. Oh and just so you are aware, although this might not be “fine furniture” it has indeed many many times been proven you can in fact make very fine and professional grade furniture with pine and other soft woods found at your local home center. Your comment was made just to get a reaction because you wanted the attention for some reason. But I’ve seen people make thousands off smalls like this. People love to buy this kind of stuff. Not everyone is looking for that $30,000 custom walnut river epoxy table that will take you 2-4 months to build.

Million dollars equipment is an exaggeration lol. I own a circular saw and a miter saw despite being a single mom. I worked as a laborer in construction last year so I could afford to start buying carpenter tools
