    I love your design. and since I'm an interiordesigner and minimalist at heart your furniture are perfect for my style. it's hard to find unique minimal pieces and I'm from Jamaica and the culture here is very different. you inspired me and I'm happy you are doing this for people like me and others. thank you.

      Parez Morris I'm Jamaican also. I'm making my own furniture because everything that I like is super expensive and I don't want my home to look like the traditional Jamaican home.......aka pack every inch with huge, bulky furniture...still holding onto the old European way.

    Really love the idea of plywood beams!! Since plywood is so flat and you used your super nice saw blade there is no need for a planner or router making this accessable to so many people :) Also plans look great!!

    I had such a visceral to your work up until recently, I thought your scale was too small and your materials too simple. I still watched every video. It was great to hear about your background from the podcast and how you determined your materials you use in your projects. Thanks!

    Really great method for doing the leather around the cushion, Ben! Good video!

    Really cool project ! I really like that kind of design where you just add layers together and they interlock to create the joints !!

    Using plywood to make plywood. :) I love it! Great design. I bet it is both super heavy and super sturdy.

  • @raraavis7782
    @raraavis7782 Před 7 lety

    Great design, and I love that the plywood construction makes this more "doable" for people without a lot of professional equipment or a real workroom. And it would probably be easy to make a similar design that can be converted into a guest bed.

    Awesome project. Nice way to reuse the footage of the leather work from the zigzag sofa too! It was only when the dog walked across I noticed! 😂 Hey no point reinventing the wheel! The end result is really cool looking. Clean and modern.

    this is a really good method, we get bamboo delivers and to protect it the company sandwiches them between chip board, i often rip strips of it and glue it up to make work shop cabinets and doors, really strong and looks cool, nice one dude

    Nice Sofa :D

  • @thetruthshouldbeclear8602

    wow!!! absolutely beautiful and clean looking. I love it. how much would you say it would cost just for materials, including the leather?

  • @candiwalkowski7480

    @Sitagram Před 7 lety

    Hi Ben, I found your videos a couple of years ago and have fallen in love with the idea of making my own furniture. But I have no idea where to start. What tools should I buy first? What projects should I start out with to help teach me the basics? Could you possibly do a video about where to start from nothing? Thank you for your videos.

  • @danicarpes
    @danicarpes Před 7 lety +2

    Hey man....great project!!!
    Just a thought: maybe the back rest could be foldable and rest on the seat to transform the sofa into a bed...
    Keep up whit the nice work...

  • @kkanyi
    @kkanyi Před 6 lety

    Great project. I like the way it is so straight forward. Can this design be extended to a three seater? If yes, what would be the things to consider?

    • @raraavis7782
      @raraavis7782 Před 7 lety +2

      Joe basement woodworking that's what I thought, too! It almost screams convertable...I'm sure it could easily be done - the plywood construction let's you play around with the design at will, after all. It's almost like building a lego bedcouch ☺

    • @tooljunkie555
      @tooljunkie555 Před 7 lety

      Rara Avis that's true about the plywood and funny you say that about the Legos cuz when I was watching the video it made me think of Legos LOL

    • @tooljunkie555
      @tooljunkie555 Před 7 lety

      Rara Avis could even cut a couple cup holders into the sides possibilities for this are almost endless

  • @Cornerstanding

    Just looking at this, am thinking wow could use this as a bed by making the headboard so it lies flat, what about giving my idea a go?

  • @louisle9162
    @louisle9162 Před 5 lety

    Question for you. If someone hefty were to sit dead center. Would the wood not begin to bend without a slat in the center extending from the front to the back to help prevent it from bending?

  • @HODYODesign
    @HODYODesign Před 7 lety

    l love the design of this new sofa but I'm not a fan of the déjà vu part of the video. With that said, coming up with a new brillant idea every week is very challenging, so no worries... Keep up the good work :-)
