Making a Floating Bench

I made a floating bench for my backyard in Joshua Tree! This cantilevered design using wood, steel and concrete to create the floating aesthetic. Learn more about the 2024 Trend of the Year at the following link: www.cabotstain.com/en/start-y...

I love everything you do on your channel but i also miss Jessie’s videos so much! 😭

[@TheSteveAS]

Agreed! How's the Poop House coming along, Jessie?

[@emmaslow]

Nice project - and also always here for the Jessie moment ♥️

[@ConwayT91]

That turned out fantastic! This bench got some sweet vibes. Oh and Jessie will always be your perfect project model 👌🏼

[@imaginitivity7853]

Ok, so you made a diving board... Now for the pool!

[@jeffgoldenberg9579]

Could be a combo barbecue/grill and long dining table. Super project.

[@TheFishSquad]

Digging a hole in the middle of the desert looks a little "sus" (as my daugthers would say) HAHA.. Great video thought Ben.

[@bryanallo]

Great concept and execution. Another alternative is to drive a bunch of 8ft postmaster steel posts into the ground and weld/bolt onto that. Wrap them in wood, stone or any other finish of your choice. 🍷😁👌🏽

[@jwildmand]

Joshua Tree…..so beautiful, a great place for that bench

[@reforzar]

I love this project! I might have to steal this one!

[@edgiereyes8587]

DIY diving board too!

[@raynoladominguez4730]

I like the stone accent top, however, I am concerned that the steel angle corners might be a harsh skin catch or cutter; how is it? It looks very cool though.

[@DariusSinclair]

I agree

[@cristianopereira3950]

Fantastic!!!!!

[@RiffleVFXportfolio]

Turned out great, I love the little drink area

[@user-tm7lt2lz7x]

Just love your channel 🙏

[@danthemakerman]

Looks cool, definitely a sweet spot to hang out.

[@otakelblanchemanor0659]

Fabulous!! Lol I want one!

[@wainivanua]

Looks great, though I worry that the sharp edges could do some damage.

[@motaman8074]

Wonderful

[@sherryu]

Really cool! Nice job.

[@lagartijoazul75]

We all love Jessi. We all miss Jessi.

[@susansolta]

Guys, I am new here. Who is Jessi? Thanks

[@raraavis7782]

​@@susansolta His younger sister. She used to sometimes participate in his videos and she has her own channel, 'Ijessup'. She hasn't posted anything in a year, though.

[@jimmylovesbikes]

Wow. In the beginning I thought it was a bad idea as the bench will sag over time, but your construction method is awesome and now I want to build that and display as my dream piece in the backyard! Great stuff.

[@iamtroyhollinger]

Well done bro!

[@ankursinghkashyap]

You probably want to cover the bolt openings as they will fill up with water during rains and corrode the steel from inside. Good project 😊

[@conradcoolerfiend]

basically a diving board!

[@raraavis7782]

My first thought: 'you forgot the pool, dude!' 😅

[@raraavis7782]

I'm not planning to ever construct anything like this, but now I know, how it works 👍🏻

[@slimdog72]

Looking rad dude.

[@gra01]

Very cool 🎉🎉🎉

[@garagemonkeysan]

Great video. Cool bench. Super solid and indestructable. Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@earlyblackmz]

Cool

[@quidproquo3933]

Aka a diving board with angle iron under it

[@0hellow797]

Have you attempted using mirrors for illusions like this? Love it ❤❤❤

[@romuald225]

Nice video and work! Thanks! Is this bench comfortable to sit on for a longer time? I guess not as there is no back rest and your legs are not touching the ground…

[@flirtingdisaster]

Good looking. Give us an update later in summer about the temperature of the steelframe!

[@ckngmad1357]

Those 6 nuts and it's washer friend's is the entire construction

[@raccoozie]

In the first half I was wondering how you were going to work a Cabot dairy sponsorship into this.

[@edgiereyes8587]

cutting hole for the bolt lessen the sthregth of the tubular steel.

[@natedoggschip]

I saw the thumbnail and thought it was a Pink Floyd album cover that I hadn't seen before

[@truthvirus]

Any bets on how long it'll be before you move the sandstone to center over the white concrete support?

[@randywells9676]

with her laying on it it look like a diving board over dirt

[@bigdavegooner]

Next project, 'how to build your own pool'

[@ACoustaDC]

Are you editing your videos? This one looks a bit different stylistically. Not bad, just different. 2. You drilled into the steel first, and then located the holes on the plywood.. how did you do that, I need tips?? 3. I would like, in the future, if you would denote what discs you are using for what task.

[@davidpelfini2255]

It's a desert diving board.

[@andrhamm]

Nice work! Any plans to bring back the podcast?

[@averageliving4Life]

@5:55 ? Shed roof house finished?!

[@SUPP-M.F.]

Good grief! 🇦🇺

04:17 Lucky the cops didn't drive-by at exactly this moment! You look very suspicious.

[@BryanLayne]

Is that an iJessup that I spy, making a cameo? :)

[@SyddlesFuzz]

How does one find a place to buy steel? D: It's not a home depot item ;.;

[@williamreinhard]

There should be metal supply places near you. Often you have to call them and place an order then you just go pick it up.

[@yonsson]

Overstrengthened foundation =) But very nice and interesting.

[@lucasvandyke8438]

So you made a low diving board. 😂

[@chrisnoyes9397]

That brand of stain lasted less than a year. Would use something else.

[@dinizec]

You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn’t stop to think if you should

[@bentrance96]

please don't weld rebars. it significantly reduces strenght of steel.

[@user-xm7kj3hv6m]

Good idea but for me result is not great. You should try to hide metal parts inside and cover them with wood. Metal is cold and it will be much better to touch only wooden parts.

[@romuald225]

Metal is colder than surrounding air in the winter, but way hotter in the summer.

[@jpeters1774]

You gotta be wary about the Jessie, once she's made herself at home in the yard its just a matter of time before the Gary's......

[@blizardo13]

you made a place where they can take pictures. but compared to the fact that you made a table, you worked a lot with it, and it's a very expensive design for a table..

[@truthteller1951]

I’m hoping you’re 40’ from a Joshua Tree……it’s code.

[@nadoel]

Заепись, но в России это заржавеет. В прериях этих может еще жить будет, а у нас погода все разрушит. Каркас надо еще перевязывать хомутами, а не сваривать.

[@ravishankarkoduru6854]

Nice work no doubt, but not worth its purpose

[@chrisallen2005]

And who exactly assigned you has offficial judge and critic of his project?

[@o1ecypher]

Talk about overkill, but it looks nice right...

[@larryg3038]

I usually love your projects, but I just can’t get past the swimming pool diving board vibe 😕

[@John25.]

Buy some new clothes. You’re rich.
