Simple Outdoor Bench [with Free Plans]

[@cheflorenzo4491]

Blown away by the simplicity. That bench would fit anywhere. Great video and great bench.

[@John-yt5zr]

Nice work, I really like the simplicity of this piece, understated. Thanks for sharing the video as well as the plans. 👍🏻

[@mohamedsalem6014]

That design is simple yet very elegant

[@clydedecker765]

Love the simplicity AND strength of this bench.

[@rogueengineer]

Thanks Clyde!

[@nancymagee4839]

The plans are no longer available on Ryobi Nation Would you post them here for those of us who want to build this bench? Many thanks.

[@zienick]

It looks like Ryobi just changed how their "Ryobi Nation" links are structured. It's now at www.ryobitools.com/nation/projects/detail/diy-outdoor-bench with the plans at 2e1293630802db8d0d56-50fcdb1c10e3e49a3d1b0541a2f13b69.ssl.cf1.rackcdn.com/projects/pdfs/b3dbd569fe61459cae2516b36223eb2b.pdf

Rewatching this. I love this simple design. Sometimes I just want something super simple that looks great and that I can get made. Theres a lot of satisfaction in completing quick projects. Sometimes I just need a quick win to keep me motivated for the longer projects that never seem to end. LOL And thanks for the plans. Just downloaded them.

[@mahmoodkhan6623]

quick makes me feel more motivated too. lol

[@terryannunique1026]

Indeed👍🏻👍🏻

[@markb8954]

Nice, simple & easy build. We built two of your other benches (with high back) last year & they came out perfectly. They are still looking great out on our deck today. Thanks🎉

[@mikeandlucky]

Appreciate your easy to build, practical plans and free plans. I have built your outdoor Adirondack chairs and bench for myself and several of my neighbors. Thanks!

[@rogueengineer]

Thank you Mike!

[@robertsnyder7644]

The link to the plan is not working. But this is exactly what I was looking for. Can you just tell me the overall length you used for the legs. I can figure everything else out for the video and bench top I am using requires me to make my own size frame.

[@soroako4142]

Your clear, concise "no nonsense" narration is rare on KZbin - hopefully you will inspire others to lift their game. I was intending to build the bench you featured recently but this video's design will in fact be better suited. As well as giving me extra seating I'll have a handy spot to stow some wood for my fire pit. I'll be using 200 x 50 treated pine and out door rated Kreg pocket hole screws.

[@rogueengineer]

Well thank you. I appreciate that. Good luck with the build and make sure to tag me if you post it on social media.

This is by far the best woodworking book I have ever read, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* . My woodworking teacher endorses it to all of his students. I am impressed how authors managed to write very detailed topics. I`m surprised by the material and didn`t have a tough time following the lessons..

[@JeffRL1956]

The link to the plans doesn't work. :-(

[@BB23573]

I enjoyed hearing your explanation on this project:)❤

[@lessilkowski4160]

Love this simple design and your easy to follow videos. Finished my bench by dowelling over the screws.

[@janking2762]

It’s working today, October 1, 2024.

[@cloverflats-mw9zg]

Nooice -- super comfortable. I made one in > 30 min but < weekend. I foolishly got some pressure treated wood from a hardware store without knowing anything. The wood was juicy and full of copper? The bench has cracked a little as it's dried out, but I think it will be ok. If I make another it will be untreated cedar followed by some kind of polyurethane.

[@wendylambel39]

The plans are no longer available! Is there any way I can still get them? I want to make 2 of these benches for the ends of the 2 twin beds in my guest room! I would really appreciate it! Thank you

[@wendylambel39]

I found them at Ryobi nation! DIY OUTDOOR BENCH

[@financialtalks8542]

The plans are not showing on the Ryobi website (dead link!) where could `i find them? Thanks in advance!

[@John._.T]

Love the simple design and clear instructions. Thanks for a great video. I'm now subscribed. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos 👍👍

[@rogueengineer]

Awesome, thank you!

[@pteddie6965]

Good looking bench. Thanks for the plans.

[@rogueengineer]

No problem 👍

[@glenntaylor4844]

I cant find the plans. Any help would be appreciated.

[@sapelesteve]

Nice & easy project! BTW, the links that you indicated at the end of the video did not show up on the screen.

[@rogueengineer]

Thanks, just updated it.

[@DavidBoston-rx2yi]

Great video, thanks

[@JLWoodArtistries]

Nice job. Simple and to the point. Great video

[@rogueengineer]

Glad you liked it!

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Great simple bench. Looks good and easy to build.

[@rogueengineer]

Thanks!

[@charliebrown4454]

Would you do a vid of this cool bench plan to include a back and arms? I am envisioning a dished seat for comfort. Thanks for your consideration.

[@paulharder407]

Nice design. I like finishing the edges with a round over bit with router. Sanding for me never comes close to replicating that nice feel in hands on legs (in this case with bench)

[@rogueengineer]

Thanks! Great idea.

[@zzzzzz4147]

Love the bench..Cannot download the plans from Ryobi..Would love to get the plans from you. Please tell me how...Thanks

[@zzzzzz4147]

Have tried to download plans but Ryobi pops up with an error. Please help would really like to have plans Thanks

[@terryannunique1026]

Thank you very much for sharing this. I'm going to use this technique to make a bench for my front porch .. new subscriber by the way 😃

[@ctharry]

Hello love the video. I am new to woodworking and I saw this and thought I would give it a shot. Followed the link to Ryobi Nation and it said Page not found. Is there another link where I can get the plans for this? Thank you very much.

[@markb8954]

I looked as well. Zilch

[@brucemou1]

Price of cedar and redwood right now (May,2024) is out of sight if you can find it. I want know about durable finishes for pine or fir.

[@gonzaloorozcon.6660]

Muy buen trabajo, tratara de hacerlo próximamente, saludos.

[@fernandocarlosvargasdiaz8904]

Aha, te quedó muy linda, creo que te la copiaré, felicidades y abrazos desde la Patagonia Chilena!!

[@OzSawdustMakers]

This was great mate but just a heads up, at the end when you mentioned other videos and clicking here and there, nothing showed up.

[@rogueengineer]

Thanks for the heads up. I added those links.

[@chucksmith2525]

Are the plans still available for this project? They were not on Ryobi Nation when I looked. Can't wait to build it this weekend.

[@kathyprindle523]

I added the link, but maybe it's not allowed because my post won't show. For the updated link to the plans, go to Ryobi Nation and search "DIY Outdoor Bench." This will bring up the instructions where you can download the plans.

[@glenntaylor4844]

I found no link to the plans

[@d.k.1394]

Lovely

[@gleasonsimpson3310]

alright, you keep telling me that KZbin wants me to watch these videos and I'm having to watch and click like on all of them lol.... just letting ya know that's a good catch line. Good work friend.

[@jenniferfarlin6162]

Really nice bench. My son is looking to use this design for his Eagle Scout project. As others have mentioned, the link to the full plan no longer works. We're working on figuring out the exact dimensions of all the pieces, but would be easier if the plans were available. Any chance you can post those? Really appreciate it, thanks!

[@markb8954]

Eagle Scout Project? I hope he was going to build about 20 of these and place around the tarn park or gardens or Scout trail.

[@danielabad8987]

What timber are you use?

[@billrogers6256]

....as usual...Badass man!

[@rogueengineer]

Thanks Bill

[@deanmochinaga6259]

I really like this bench. You mentioned you could use pressure treated wood or untreated wood. I'm thinking about redwood. is that a good option?

[@Jimmy_Crackcorn1849]

Very nice! Thanks.

[@rogueengineer]

Thank you!

[@bpmunroe]

Nice and simple. Looks great. Curious how much you paid for the cedar and what grade it is. 2x cedar is expensive here in the northeast

[@rogueengineer]

Thanks Brian. I wanna say it was around $70 and it's #2 grade. Lumber prices are crazy right now.

[@dleblanc]

@@rogueengineer it's $39 for a cedar 2x6x8 right now...

[@joashcolaco253]

[@lorenamartes3525]

Love it 😍 amazing instructions thk

[@rogueengineer]

Thanks so much 😊

[@davidboston4574]

Plans aren’t there??

[@Mr.GucciClass1A]

Nice video and build man. Looks sharp and not super complex. Your style and demeanor is very soothing, perfect escape from all the noise out there nowadays. Wanted to ask if you wouldn’t mind sharing your paint colors I noticed on the trims, walls and doors. It’s like the perfect combination of Nice, clean and modern classy colors. I’d love to borrow on them for my shop. Thanks!

[@rogueengineer]

Thanks Emanuel! I know the trim color is called cracked pepper I believe but the wall color I can't remember.

[@Astilafauzymeubel]

amazing 👌👏

[@davidboston4574]

Do you still have anything to with your pages anymore?? Do you still wood work? And the plans aren’t available!!!! Hello????
