This Bench Cost NOTHING!

A couple months ago, there was a massive storm in Ontario that knocked down a ton of trees. I made this whimsical bench using downed trees at a friend's cottage near Peterborough, Ontario.

truly fascinating what you can turn into an almost zero value object into something valuable - takes a lot of skill and the production quality is as always amazing!

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you so much! 😊❤️

[@smknaturalorganic5287]

Absolutely amazing bro

[@mascottie]

Imagine that still being there many years from now and people are going to wonder who built such a thing! 😀

[@FixitFingers]

Top stuff Morley, great execution of an idea.... even if there is $20 worth of screws in there😋😂

[@ImGonnaMake]

I don’t care if that bench lasts 2 weeks or 20 years, what matters is it exists now and I thank you for bringing us along for the build.

[@MorleyKert]

💯❤️

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

Super fun idea, Morley! Came out so cool!

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks, Ethan! It was a lot of fun (especially flying the drone 😊)

[@RichardBronosky]

1 minute in and I'm getting nervous about making furniture out of green wood. Watching with great anxiety...

[@poppyaustin4828]

Excellent! Amazing! The devastation and destruction of a storm turned into something fitting to honor the trees that sacrificed! Our trees make it possible to live on this planet and as such deserve our honor and respect. Well done! 🙏

[@foulchild]

time-honored tradition right here. You see stuff like this built all around Ontario cottage-country areas. Some ppl build sand castles and beer-cup forts, Morley out here building frikin benches hahaha

[@markarmenta3598]

I really like your coffee table videos the best part was that you show how much everything cost and what was your profit, I seen other videos and say I sold it for 700 and don’t show what it really takes, thanks you brother keep up the great work

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you so much! The next video of this sort will be coming out this weekend 😊

[@ImDavid711]

1. I love the attitude of 'Let's just make stuff', it seems like it's led you to having many skills. So cool. 2. I know next to nothing about wood, but I'm wondering if it needs to be treated in some way to be more durable? I have a notion in my mind that this bench may decay faster. Is this true? (Obviously time constraints, budget, materials, etc. are also at play)

[@eoinlx]

Absolutely stunning piece. Super jealous of access to all that wood!

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you so much 😊 it was quite a haul!

[@MakinSawdust]

Fantastic project!!! Great production too :)

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! :)

[@JesperMakes]

Love your machete work. Awesome bench..

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks man! Gotta do some more rustic woodworking...

[@leenaright3949]

Wow, just wow 🌷 There is a large patch of bamboo running down my mom's driveway in Canton NC ( a small town nestled in the heart of the Southern Appalachian Mountains, close to the Pigeon River, and 20 miles from downtown Asheville NC ) This patch of bamboo is approximatly 300 feet long and 60 feet wide. It's age is about 30 yrs old. The bamboo canes range from 5 to 25 feet tall . Diameter of canes are from 6 inches to 12 inches. Hoping you and those commenting will post some ideas of what I could make with these. Thank you in advance 🌷

[@poppyaustin4828]

I have a 100 year old Crepe Myrtle that unfortunately was hit by lightning, sadly it devastated it, but the branches that fell are curly and beautiful. I wonder This video has given me the idea of a bench for the garden, thank you🙏

[@angelasheppard7197]

New sub. Binge watching your videos. Awesome. You have shown me something I'm going to try to do. Thanks

[@ripadipaflipa4672]

U have a super cool channel. I love the way Ur artistically visualize the wood instead of forcing the wood to turn into something U may want but just doesn’t utilize the colors and grains.

[@juancgarza8836]

Can certainly tell how passionate you are about what you do. Great watch, keep up the goodwork.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you 😊❤️

[@mlem7108]

Good effort I think it wouldn't work around where I live in the tropics unfortunately, cause the wet season turns exposed branches to mush. We've always been planning to use fallen mango tree branches for wood turning, probably for pens to start out with of course. (My father inherited my grandpa's wood lathe and we bought a pen making kit.) This would make me tempted to finally give it a crack but I'm moving out of home tomorrow aha. Anyway, good effort.

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks for watching! Good luck on your woodworking projects :)

[@TNmountainguy]

Super cool! Earned a subscriber. I live on three wooded acres in Tennessee. Never made anything but I think I can do this.

[@TheVirakahScale]

I love this. Rustic style Furniture is awesome! I've made a few things at the barn I visit once a year!

[@lordhighnesscheshirecat3382]

It really looks like it cost nothing as well. Two themes combined, free stuff and free looking stuff

[@glendathegoodwitch6987]

I love this! I feel like it needs more reinforcement! But then, maybe you can't just put more nails into it.

[@j.tsessions3132]

Morley, I know this is an older video, but man I love how you really did everything this build

[@simflyer1429]

Watch out for a scammer going by this name... They use telegram and ask you to contact them via a message.

[@MorleyKert]

Yeah don’t contact this person. They’re leaving comments faster than I can report and delete them. Thanks for bringing this up 😊

[@simflyer1429]

@@MorleyKert I have them on telegram. Whenever they change their name I head over to the relevant channel and give a heads up.

[@OriginalCatfish42]

Looks like one of those primitive builds except this lad doesn't hide the fact that he uses power tools ;D

[@wbwillie]

ok so the wood cost nothing, but the FASTENERS on the other hand...

[@luizrafael7939]

Thanks man. What a video. I really hope your channel grows a lot !

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks for watching!

Once again you are one talented individual and you had the patience of Job 👍👍👍

[@JR-dd4ec]

I'm ok with you doing measurements in Metric 😊

[@SeraphimKnight]

I mean it did cost you a box of screws but I'll let you off the hook for that 😁

[@Lisa-gy5pw]

Very cool!! Even more cool - the shout out to your mom for supporting you!

[@imequationzyt]

This was your best build super impressive!

Nice bench. Oh have you married that girl net?

great video using already down tree branches.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! 😊❤️

[@jasonmartin7137]

Wow. That is nature's art. Beautiful.

[@CardboardBots]

I would have only thought the branches would be good for firewood or rustic fencing.

[@sagar98867]

You are amazing bro. Sending love

I need you guys to come down to my beach house and rummage around and make me furniture! Jeez that was cool loved it. New subscriber

Why don't you get a pickup truck

[@3dprintingtoday]

Hey pretty random question would there be a way that I can pay you to teach me how to use fusion 360 better I’m 14 and have 5 printers so need to learn lol thanks

[@workswithwoodyeg]

It does look different. Not sure it would be very comfortable sitting on for a long time, and I would think that the sap from the pine branches would easily transfer to clothes. Cool idea though.

[@Luca-xg4jp]

great work, i always love watching your videos, you have so much inspiration and it seems like just repair or upsycle everyting thats in your way

That was the original idea, but we preferred the organic look.

What a beautiful location for a project

Thank you! It was a great place to work, minus the mosquitos haha

Thanks!

[@davebauerart]

Great fun project to use the fallen branches instead of just fire wood. Have you ever tried lashing? Seems like a perfect way to build something like the bench.

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks, Dave! I have not tried lashing, but yesterday I walked by a rustic farm fence that was held together with metal twine and it made me think of that!

[@ShannonRamos]

I bought a clamp tite tool and loads of cheap wire at harbor freight and have been lashing all kinds of things together, it's so easy. This gave me the original idea: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4PGaI16h8iaqLM&ab_channel=AdvokoMAKES

[@kjamison5951]

It cost time, energy and fixings. And energy includes the sustenance for you to work. Not ‘nothing’. Click bait video title.

[@freddiehill28]

What a rubbish comment.

[@billhaidei346]

BS. You need sustenance everyday, regardless. Even for sitting on your ass watching yt.
