I Built a $10,000 Outdoor Sofa Set For $580!

[@JA-df3xb]

I am a beginner to woodwork, the main test I have with this bundle kzbin.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt is that I think that its hard to settle on a choice of the plan and outline to use as there are a large portion of them there. Nonetheless, I like the simple stride to step directions laid out there.

[@matthewpeterson3329]

Great stuff. A few hints for those of you who try this one... put strips of paper between the metal and the wood, as a shim, before tack welding (maybe 2-3 ply) so that after you tap the metal frame out to finish weld, you get rid of the paper and the finished part will very easily slip back into place without damaging the stained wood surfaces. Also, while he was proving a point that the job could be done much cheaper than store bought, if you are going to the trouble to build this yourself, splurge on some good, clear, kiln dried lumber. the finished product will look SOOOO much better. The grain will POP and you will never have to worry about splitting or warping. I built something very similar about 20 years ago and learned those two key mistakes. I've since replicated the furniture a few times for family/friends and it's all still perfect to this day. Thanks for the great video!!!

[@BType13X2]

I am a structural welder by trade and I would encourage you to not tack this up inside the frame. He has a welding table so he could have fixtured it up with and clamped it into shape. Step 1. With Soapstone draw out the interior of the leg. Step 2. Take left over material and clamp it down to make a border of your traced soap stone lines. Step 3 drop material in. Step 4 use toggle clamps to push up agains your outer braces. Step 5, weld out the frame. I would have probably also from a design stand point made a cross instead of putting 2 45's in there. But yeah I absolutely do not like welding around semi finished parts of my wood working projects because you always spend more time cleaning them back up then you would if you just made some simple fixtures on your bench.

[@ru2225]

Thanks

[@jonathananson8101]

Would love to try this but I don't have all those tools. And don't want to spend 10k on a patio set.

[@matthewpeterson3329]

@jonathananson8101 It's honestly not that hard to build with basic tools. Just requires a little patience. Best advice I could give would be to spend a little extra on good, straight, kiln dried wood. Then find your cushions so you can make your dimensional drawings around them. Even if you had to buy all the tools to build this, you are under $1k, minus a welder. So you end up with a cool custom set of furniture that fits your needs perfectly, for a heck of a savings.

[@DenimNeverNude]

As someone who has also built patio furniture out of a softwood (pine), it would be a good idea to put some sort of plastic slider or bumper on the bottoms of the chair legs to keep them from scuffing when you move the furniture around. With heavy chairs like those, you'll probably push them around a little and as soon as the sealant gets damaged, you'll get water intrusion and degradation of the wood.

[@M5TABBYCAT]

Good idea

[@mikhailmobius2308]

Are we watching a video about putting things together? Cuz you nailed it. :)

[@geolisadrag-racing2349]

Matt, this build could have been a lesson in not being afraid to learn to do something right. Makers like Mr. B have a great enthusiasm for WW & they show us time & time again that they are not afraid of new challenges. Great. I just wish they would use, the many resources available on the science, art & craft of woodworking. Then viewers would learn from that example and be better prepared to trust the information they get on this channel. A quick glimpse at the comments, and I learned that there was a right way to do the welding, better lumber choices etc. etc. I am replying to YOUR comment because the "bad choice" you noticed; would have taken less than 10 dollars to fix. Not adding feet of some kind WILL, at some point, be detrimental to the build. And, lastly, a little project research, here on KZbin, & he'd know not to have the wood sitting on the wet ground, where it will constantly wick up moisture, or directly on the concrete, where it will sit in pools of water after rain. KZbin can be an excellent resource, with education and information served up with entertainment and easy to consume. Not just channels by professional woodworkers like Jon Peter's and Semi- Pros like Steve Rhamsy, but also established channels from DIY'ers like DIY creator & Anna White. I actually just watched a video on JP's channel & he did not mention any leg protection; however, you could see them in the video, and he added in the video description that he "forgot to mention in the video....I did add nylon domes to the bottom of the legs." Anyhow, I appreciate channels wanting to be original and viewers often enjoy the charm of mistakes. I also appreciate how much time, work and energy must go into producing these videos (i could never do it). I just want a little time in for researching tasks that are new for them. That way, they won't develop bad habits or teach them to their viewers. I hope Mr B. knows how lucky he is to have fans that love his style, but are also honest with him about his welding, wood choice, screw choices etc. With 3 quarters of a million subscribed, he must be doing something right. For me, if i didn't enjoy watching and want his channel to grow, i wouldn't have bothered with this, my hopefully constructive criticism. Thanks Matt, for reminding everyone to use sliders/bumpers/feet. ~ ♿Lisa🛠

One thing I would do different is either use black screws holding the metal frame down or spray paint them black. Silver sticks out like a sore thumb. Other than excellent build. Very professional looking.

The $10k set used teak wood, which is probably a lot of the markup. You might not even be able to find teak out where you are, so the pine you used is a good alternative especially if you take the steps to make sure it will hold up outside like you did. And for those that can find teak, just be careful because teak is hard as hell. If you don't have the high quality tools to work with it, it will just destroy your stuff. Teak has silica in it, which is like glass, which is why it's so hard and so hard to work with.

[@jaysonbackes9279]

All wood has silica, teak has a lot of silica.

Cedar would’ve been another good option but also the $10,000 set took into account the labor and overhead costs to make it.

[@tylerjulka]

Love the personality and straightforward instruction in this video, but as an outdoor furniture builder and general contractor specializing in fences, gates, decks, pergolas, and outdoor structure - and best practices and materials to build lasting pieces - I'll explain why the $10,000 set is more expensive (and a hell of a lot better quality) than the set you built, while not as big of a price discrepancy as you might think after factoring in your time spent building. The first thing I noticed is the set on Wayfair is made from teak, which will last 30-50 years with minimal maintenance (oil-based stain every couple years), whereas this douglas fir framing lumber will MAYBE last 10 years depending on weather conditions in your locale. Teak materials (surfaced and selected for no knots) I hope you at least bought kiln-dried lumber or you'll be sitting sideways on your chair in about a year. Also, why not just go for straight s4s lumber? To prove your point of getting cheap material while spending hours and hours processing your material to be furniture grade? Good job selecting relatively clear/tight knot material though. Your time spent in construction, your methods, and the fact that it's handmade with a story behind it definitely adds value to the set, but increases your costs to build significantly - though you've actually made it back and then some by doubling it with content creation. Also, I'd be suspect of any mass produced furniture that comes from Wayfair, Overstock, or Amazon. For the real deal, and something that will last long enough to pass down to your great grandchildren, I'd suggest an exotic hardwood like teak or ipe. These are the gold standard for wood materials used in exterior applications. I personally build Adirondack furniture using Ipe (Brazilian Walnut), which is rated to last over 75 years with minimal maintenance. Cost of materials to build one chair is less than $200 (in Los Angeles). All in all, it's a beautiful set that will serve it's purpose for a little while and we all appreciate you taking the time to show us your build!!

Great job! They look awesome. My guess is the furniture on Wayfair is likely a hardwood, maybe cedar, and rather than pocket holes, they may have used mortise and tenon where possible. This would explain an increase in value, but still wouldn’t make the $10k price reasonable. $10k for the Wayfair set is ridiculous! Unfortunately, I live in Southern California and, where I’m located the big box stores carry garbage pine lumber that’s very green and really only good for framing.

cool build, not a pro but I guess the do better part here is that, the holes made by that pocket holes must be back facing, not front facing because when those cusions are removed you can see those pocket holes which will somehow affect the beauty of your furniture. but overall, all good, again, nice and cool project you made there. keep it up!
