Making Bench Seating - Barber Shop Commission (part 2 of 2)

[@Badgerworkshop]

They look great. I look forward to the other projects

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers Matt

[@10MinuteWorkshop]

Nice one Keith! A good trick if you want to locate something like this without fixing it down permanently is to use little scrap ply blocks just glued to the floor in each of the corners; it’s enough just to locate the piece and stop it being knocked, but the blocks can be removed easily enough if you stick them down with e.g. hot glue, or 3M double-sided tape. 👍👍

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Great idea! Thanks Peter 👍

[@phunkissartisticcreations2316]

The brass rods really gave the benches a classy look! Great build!

[@accessfm]

Delighted you got the roof racks for the van. You got to admit it does make life a whole lot easier when transporting sheets or even as I have had on mine... Multiple 18ft lengths of 4x2. No waiting on timber supplier to deliver any more! Well done. The benches look great.

[@Petetrenouth]

A nice build Keith, as you cut the dowels shorter than the holes, maybe you could have polished them before fitting? just an idea.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Yep that would have been sensible

[@AndrewMcQuillen]

@@RagnBoneBrown I thought that too but then I was watching someone else do it first. 😀

[@EvanDunville]

Worked out quite nicely. The design fits the space great.

[@ConwayT91]

a great use for this plywood! turned out really good. Happy to hear you got asked for some more projects 👍🏼

[@Yet1moreUtuber]

Outstanding, should do a short vid, when all is said and done in the store, like to see how it all comes together

[@ΚΑΤΕΡΙΝΑΠΙΤΣΙΟΥ]

Those benches will be the better spot on the shop and with the plants it will be like a small garden. Although i like dark wood the colour is very nice , it is an excellent job !!!!!!

[@mikes6844]

Another inspirational video, my workshop is a 8 x 12 shed, fully insulated that permits work in the really cold months. I often have to work in the garden when using sheet material and it it isn’t an issue. I do have a Makita track and Dewalt table saws. So it’s great to see a quality job done in similar surroundings to myself. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@SMee67]

Awesome job mate 👍 They look fantastic filling out the shop front. 👌 Looking forward to seeing the rest of the work for the shop.

[@markgoode4109]

This turned out very well. Glad to hear you got some extra work from this job. The plywood and that finish were a great match. Best wishes

[@ourfloridagarden4191]

Dylan! Nice look and design.

[@247BONZO]

Like the spraying the varnish on how do you dilute correctly and the working out calculation could be a whole tips video and would be help to a lot of people?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Check out the video I just uploaded for details! 👍

[@AndrewMcQuillen]

it turned out really nicely

[@michaelevans1658]

Nice job Keith ,good luck with the business .

[@KSFWG]

Nice touch and a nice tip for the brass! I'd like to see what you come up with as far as legs for their next project.

[@alasdairmackenzie515]

Another nice one, Keith! Especially on the dowels.

[@TNgrandee3]

I like these benches. They will give readers who love to read in natural light a fine place to sit.

[@davegower123]

Nice job! I hope the commissions keep rolling in!

[@cobberpete1]

Dillon the supervisor always needs to inspect the work before the work leaves the shop. Good idea with polishing the dowels

[@RagnBoneBrown]

😂

[@ianvicedomini2648]

Very nice job mate

[@ClevesBackyardWoodworking]

Nice benches, shop owner must of been very happy.

[@daniel_sokolovs5205]

Very good build Keith 👌

[@elizabethamizdail7939]

Excellent job!!!

[@robboone4367]

Great job Keith!

[@Unlovable]

They came out great

[@wizz4392]

Nice work Keith!

[@wrzlgummidge7663]

Great result, nice one

[@LonghornWorkshop]

Always good mate, turned out excellent.

[@robwarren544]

When using those wooden drill bits if you start in reverse it makes a clean cut quickly.

[@ronnieahman6958]

Nice jood Keith, the benches llooks awesome and seems to fit like glove

[@63256325N]

Thanks for the video.

[@pebblesthecat3625]

They look brilliant - great design, esthetically pleasing, fit for purpose, perfect. Just as a by note - the quality of your video production has improved over the time you've been on KZbin. They are very polished and professional looking. Maybe this could be another service you could offer if anything ever happens ?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you!

[@normanboyes4983]

Nice work.👍

[@AMG63]

Before inserting the brass dowels you should of polished them up then tapped them home with a off cut for protection and a hammer, still a great build.

[@strandloper]

When you were pounding in that brass dowel I wondered why you didn't just use shorter brass plugs as they were just decorative.

[@sandman2651]

The brass is a nice effect but as soon as you said about it i thought that will be a challenge to sand flat using ply as have seen done with solid wood making it easy to sand back

[@nathalie5064]

it looks beautiful !

[@MrBez007]

cool project

[@davidosullivan3432]

Nice one mate nice built you will be a full time pro shortly. Just curious what is the price of a sheet of 18 MM. birch ply in the uk?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks! £70ish

[@l200jjk]

Nice work Keith. Turned out great, personally I would have gone with a highter back to the bench but clients orders I guess. I was wondering if you had difficulty finding the baltic Birch ply and exactly how much it was here in the UK. You see the American channels work with it often but never over here.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

It was about £70 per 8x4 sheet. You can get it at most builders merchants or bigger timber yards

[@AMG63]

Ratchet straps 🤦🏼‍♂️... Bungee cords Keith 😏

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Oops! In my defence I was trying to render the video and upload it for 5pm after a long day of work! 😂

[@AMG63]

@@RagnBoneBrown no need to apologise mate I call things different names at work under pressure to.... Worse for me as I'm a gynecologist 😉

[@accessfm]

@@AMG63 and here is hoping you never need to use bungee straps in your line of work! 😂😂😂

[@paultay23]

Nice project Keith, glad to see you getting some commissions from new businesses. Did you leave your contact details in the hairdressers. I have purchased a few small sample pieces of Birch Ply and it is a massive improvement on "normal ply" I might splash out for a sheet one day. Looking forward to your views on the sprayer

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks! Good idea, I should leave a pile of business cards somewhere.

[@Mr_Judge_Benny_Hinn]

Sir Keith Brown's barber bench...We are all waiting for the domino review or use!...

[@jezd8431]

Maybe a doomed head on brass dowel before install would have looked cool

[@ldot4320]

Please could you do something with hdpe I made a sheet at home today and they are awesome. There are tons of tutorials on how to do it.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Maybe some day

[@ksp1278]

Good job. 😀

[@uktony1525]

As someone who sits on various barber's seats I have to say they look great. Get your client to ask you to make a magazine rack as there is never anything worth reading in the barber's I go to!.

[@ben_the_cat_guy]

Nice

[@teekaypew6538]

MORE DYLAN!!!

[@teekaypew6538]

Oh, and slick looking bench yo!

[@crucialjosh5951]

A rather modern look would you say?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Yes I can’t wait to see what it’s like when it’s all fully decorated

[@viclegend2084]

Cute
