Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos czcams.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!
I love the foreman he’s always a pleasure to see. Brings back memories of when my boys were young. He’s getting tall too. The foreman is right you need to take a break and enjoy life. I love this swing.
I built a barn door for my wife’s office and burnt it like this. First time I ever tried that method. I was shocked how good it looked. Great video as usual. And it’s a really cool swing.
Nice build, I love the shou sugi ban process and the long torch hooking up to your propane tank is great for it! Keep up the nice work as the goal is to continue to inspire others. 👍🏼
Step 1 of this project is have a porch. I will continue the project once that step is done. Also, a couple drink holders on the arms would be ideal. Need a place for the bourbon or iced tea if it ever shows up.
You are truly a legend, Jason. An epic woodworker and one hell of a teacher! Discovered you a couple of days ago and you have quickly become one of my favourite CZcamsrs!! I live in one of the most remote corners of the world, 500 miles to the nearest town and 600 miles from the nearest city… so my access to timber is pretty limited, but am going to attempt this project over the weekend with scrap wood… may be a challenge!! 🤣🤣 thanks for the inspiration!
Hey Jason, I love the shou sugi ban process, but you broke my heart by scorching that beautiful Sapele. I recently finished some mid-century modern slatted porch columns for our ranch house and the iridescence of the finished Sapele is stunning in the sunlight.
That was a darn cool project! I can't afford even a quarter of that Sapele, but I think I'm going to give this or the chairs you did the other day a shot in a less-awesome wood. xD
For eye bolts I use a solid ratchet that fits and a long extension. Hold the extension and use the ratchet to spin it. Sometimes I get lucky and find a socket that fits on the outside the bolt lol
While I have enjoyed these for the better part of a year they just got more impressive as I have started my wood working journey. Good grief I can’t even measure correctly. Keep up the good work and I look forward to learning more from you.
Awesome job Jason! 😃👍🏻👊🏻 .... Although I've yet to try AG1, I have tried similar products and besides for shaking, I highly recommend using a cordless milk frother.... 😉
The screw hook to closed eyelet trick totally works. Caveat is counter pull back force to prevent your wrists from being broken or hardware ruined-kinda not kidding. Been using that method for more than 10 years
I love your simplistic method of measuring and marking. I am an engineer and have a tendency of falling into analysis-paralysis. Also your foreman is awesome.
I loved this build if I would build this 1 thing I'll do different is leave the slats natural thing the color of the wood against the chard will be beautiful
Sketch up has a compass tool that will provide angles, then you'd need a compass of your own, they make digital ones, they look like two rulers attached to a pivot point
Love the swing, I am a wood worker and professional Carpenter and I worked for Callahan Furniture, in Cross Plains, Texas. We built our swings different than yours and we had cup holders, the top and bottom supports were cut at a 18 degree angle. The lap joints were cut on a Radial arm saw with a dad blades with all blades to make up 3/4" in width. And the eye bolts were only 3/4 " diameter. And your eye bolts are over kill, that's why your hook kept coming off. Love everything you build Jason and your channel rocks.
I saw a tool tip where they used a 3/8” socket wrench with a deep socket. You put the wrench through the eyebolt and use the deep socket to turn it. I enjoy your videos. 🤷🏽 No more running?
I fell asleep watching CZcams last night, unlocked my phone and saw you holding the flame thrower and immediately clicked. I don't even know what I'm about to watch, what day of the week it is or anything but let's gooooo
Half laps... Yeah! especially since the joints are completely open after he burned them🤣🤣. Its fun to watch all these hobby carpenters fuck up their own projects, cause they have seen the latest woodworking trends on YT. Fun and a nice project dont get me wrong here, but why the burning? Its the same thing as with all these slab and epoxy pours. Dont anyone have any ideas of their own?? Regards from a professional cabinet maker.
@@skiblink LOL😅 When reality gets someone confused and they call it negative. Wake up and smell the coffee mister! Not everyone can like what you make. And...Yeah those lap-joints where destroyed by the burning. If you cant take a professionals advice, maybe YOU should get a new hobby?
Shou Sugi Ban has been huge on my store. I've done a lot of tea light holders out of construction grade lumber and finished them this way and they have been one of my fastest selling items. People just love the look. I normally do a wax finish on top to pop the grain. Love the vid!
Jason, love your videos. I’m recently retired and my wife and I will be building a new home next spring. I’m new to woodworking but plan a woodworking shop in the new home. My question is regarding the necessary electrical voltage I need for the shop. Keep in mind. I don’t plan on doing this for anything more than a hobby so it will need to be as elaborate as your shop. Thanks for the input and keep up the great videos.
The heat of charring sets the wood resins, the same principle works for the ladies when they have their nails done and they get theirs set in the UV lamp.
P.S I seen a guy use a ratchet with a deep well socket or an extension to drive an eye bolt. You put the handle through the hole and the socket becomes your handle. If the eye is small you can just put a large 6 point socket over it. (if you have them large enough)
Nice project mate.. been thinking about doing one of these with the Shou Sugi Ban for a couple years still not done it though lol 😂🤦🏻 Cheers from London England 👍😎🏴
Love your videos and the Forman is cute as a button. I don’t know if this is the first time I noticed, but the cadence of the way you talked this video, reminds me of a girl I work with who at the end of each sentence sounds like she is asking a question. Uhg Still ordering the plans to this swing tho. 😍
Maybe a button for Iced Tea on the armrest would help? Nice build porch swings with stainless hardware aren't cheap though. I like your sense of humor it brings a lot to the videos. Plus you tend to do an awesome job and be great at making it easy enough for someone to duplicate. You may be the Bob Ross of Carpenters!( But Funny too!)
one thing i would say is with how far out those eye bolts stick out that's going to apply a lot of torque and that wood might fail pretty quickly with that as it splits it, im not sure if you have another option to screw those in further at this point or not but could be an issue in the future.
Hey Jason, let me first say, WOW!! Why am I just finding this channel now??!! I am impressed with your skills. I have been wood working and building since my grandfather and dad taught me as a little boy; glad I watched because I learned a new way to cut those odd angels on the miter saw first then go to tablesaw sled. You created a hello, beautiful swing, stores do not sell the quality we can create in our shops that is for sure. if I may ask one question or comment. Why didn't you use some springs between the eyebolts attached to the frieze beam and the chains? I think you will find they soften the swing/glide mechanics making the seating experience much more comfortable. I am impressed at the attention to detail; you take such care to make it so perfect. Also, I am glad to see I am not the only one who measures and calculates angels using what I call let's figure it out as we go method. My Grandad would say we are rushing and if you want something to look nice you gotta take your time. Honestly would say to him, the worst that can happen is you have to cut a new board and the mistake becomes something else. You damn kids are so wasteful, do you know what a board of wood cost during the depression? Well I will tell you, you couldn't get one you had to go cut down the tree. Did you ever get the ice tea? Maybe you should make your wife and ice tea and bring it to her after she helped ou with the hardest part. That thing looked hello heavy!!! She probably didn't bring it cause you called her your assistant; she is the BOSS!!! :) Thanks for the awesome channel my friend. I enjoyed it thoroughly and will be checking out more of your videos. Ciao for now. 😎🤠
Love the swing, especially the char technique. BTW, did you know (from the top of the beard up(, you are the doppelganger for John C. Reilly? Well, you do now. Thanks!
Nice work on the swing, and a nicely entertaining video. Those two bolts heads standing proud of seat rail at center front bother me, though - you may later wish you had countersunk them to avoid possible scrapes & bruises, and probable annoyance.
Actually, the proper reading of the Japanese characters for that particular finishing technique is “yaki sugi”. The character for “cook” can be read “sho”, like you said, but in this case it’s just read as “yaki”. The same as “yaki-niku”, which means “cooked meat” (barbecue). The “sugi” part means “cedar”, and traditionally this technique was used to add extra protection to the wood (cedar) siding of traditional homes. “Ban” is just a suffix that means “board”. So in this case you’re doing a “Yaki-Sugi” finishing method. Pretty cool, by the way.
0:30 oh reaaaaally? gonna come over to my place all the way in Europe just to help me build my patio furniture, huh? joking xD I've always wanted a porch swing, so I was happy to see this video in my feed!
I can’t pronounce the Japanese word either. Let’s just call it “slightly crispy burnt wood” or maybe “wood cooked medium rare”, shall we? Regardless, great video as usual and cool to see something a bit new. Also, the foreman is the best! Always glad to see this guy.
Nice I made one years ago out of jatoba. Finished natural, but made it long enough so I could stretch out, (I’m 6’3”). Love it. Talk about a hard wood though. Burned up a couple of drill bits on pilot holes and broke a few SS screws. I finished it with tung oil (the real stuff) and redo the finish every couple of years as it is in the shade mostly. You don’t want to hear all this $h1t, sorry. Nice work.
Beautiful build! When you rough cut your pieces, how much longer is "a little bit longer". I have done this too, but I seem to never go long enough for snipe or general tolerance.
Question - why not use a stiff nylon type brush versus a wire brush? Did the wire brush leave scratch marks? Very nice porch swing and love your videos. I learn a lot watching them. Have a great weekend!

Great job as always. For installing the eye bolts, I've used a ratchet wrench with a long socket as a handle to just spin them in place. Works great.

excellent woodworker, sympathetic, cool, funny, thoroughbred genius 👍👍👍Best regards from Cologne, Germany
It looks amazing! Gorgeous design and build!!
Fantastic project Jason! Thanks for sharing

Sometimes I get lucky and find a socket that fits on the outside the bolt lol
Awesome job man you really inspired me to start making my own projects thank you and keep it up
Great build and video!Im definitely building the porch swing!Its awesome!
Muy buen trabajo felicitaciones 👍👍👍👍
Saludos desde Uruguay 🇺🇾
Just saw the porch swinging chair, looks good, great finish too.
I like the voice over.😀
Love this need two for the front porch just longer. But that’s a easy fix. Thanks
While I have enjoyed these for the better part of a year they just got more impressive as I have started my wood working journey. Good grief I can’t even measure correctly. Keep up the good work and I look forward to learning more from you.
Loved the video, excellent result. Never mind iced tea, you deserve a bourbon 🥃🌞

Great project. Nice idea sir. Congratulations.👍
I love your simplistic method of measuring and marking. I am an engineer and have a tendency of falling into analysis-paralysis.
Also your foreman is awesome.
Love it! The hook trick will work if you use a bigger hook.
Nice design. Sho Sugi Ban is mesmerizing. I did my 6' horizontal cedar fence 🔥
That's one cool addition to your home. Congrats.
I loved this build if I would build this 1 thing I'll do different is leave the slats natural thing the color of the wood against the chard will be beautiful
You should team up with a food youtuber to make Zip, Zap, Soup. I don't know what would go in it, but it already sounds yummy.
Thank you!

Beautiful porch swing. You might have to remove the bottom back slat so that you can tie some seat cushions to the back easier.
looks great 👍 good ole screwdriver trick. that's what I always used or a crescent wrench.
Steel wool works really well too instead of the wire brush
Sure do enjoy some Saturday morning Bourbon!
To turn the eye bolts, use a ratcheting wrench backwards (socket as handle, handle through eye).
That looks awesome. Look your work.
The torch that Harbor Freight sells (for like $20) works extremely well for this technique.
Beautiful work!
Can’t wait to see what you are going to use those deluxe panel clamps for!?!
Beautiful design. Half lap joints are great.
Half laps... Yeah! especially since the joints are completely open after he burned them🤣🤣.

Looks nice! I might have burnt the frame, and left the slats natural for a contrast… that wood has a nice color to it. But either way, cool build!
Great video, great plan. As a suggestion, recommend trying springs on your swing chain. Adds another level to your porch swing sitting....LOL
Sweet finish

just found this guy and had to subscribe his voice is chill
I swear I looked for a porch swing video for 6 months, couldn’t find a good one, and bought one two weeks ago. Along comes this doode
Totally expected you to come back on the toy swing with ice cream or something at the beginning. Great video as always
Nice project mate.. been thinking about doing one of these with the Shou Sugi Ban for a couple years still not done it though lol 😂🤦🏻
Cheers from London England 👍😎🏴
Loved the angle change during your sip of AG1 🤣
Love your videos and the Forman is cute as a button. I don’t know if this is the first time I noticed, but the cadence of the way you talked this video, reminds me of a girl I work with who at the end of each sentence sounds like she is asking a question.

ah just in time for grilling season. i will say I prefer my porch swings medium well but I think this will work
Omg this has to be your favorite project......NO SANDING!!😁😁
Room for all three of you on that beauty!
Zip zap zoop needs to be trademarked! Would love to see merch with that on it
Charring the wood also prevents rotting as well as making it more water resistant and insect resistant
You should try structural torx head screws instead of lag bolts they are a bronze color and not such a big head sticking out with sharp edges.
Maybe a button for Iced Tea on the armrest would help? Nice build porch swings with stainless hardware aren't cheap though. I like your sense of humor it brings a lot to the videos. Plus you tend to do an awesome job and be great at making it easy enough for someone to duplicate. You may be the Bob Ross of Carpenters!( But Funny too!)
I was just looking online for one of these, then all of a sudden the CZcams notification popped up. You must have known I was looking for one 🤣
That exact same thing happened with his clamp cabinet. Spooky haha 💀
2:27 I found your bolt cutters. Top left of your pegboard. Nice swing btw. Enjoyed the video as always.
one thing i would say is with how far out those eye bolts stick out that's going to apply a lot of torque and that wood might fail pretty quickly with that as it splits it, im not sure if you have another option to screw those in further at this point or not but could be an issue in the future.
Love it man 👊
When the Bourbon Moth Zip Zap Zoop shirt going to be available???? I feel like I needed it yesterday
Zip zap zzzzzzoop, gotta love the classics looks good. 👌
Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is!!
Great job

"and I got a six-pack... of beer. Because doing this made me thirsty." This commentary is what made me subscribe. 🤣

joking xD
I've always wanted a porch swing, so I was happy to see this video in my feed!
Legend has it he still never got that ice tea
Very nice and I like the boy visit you, so sweet 😇thanks.
I thought all the "shop whiskey" bottles in your clamp storage was a joke, but they was actually supposed to be there 🤣🤣 you are awesome 👍👍
I can’t pronounce the Japanese word either. Let’s just call it “slightly crispy burnt wood” or maybe “wood cooked medium rare”, shall we? Regardless, great video as usual and cool to see something a bit new.
Also, the foreman is the best! Always glad to see this guy.
It would be a nice contrast to leave the slats natural, but varnished.
Nice I made one years ago out of jatoba. Finished natural, but made it long enough so I could stretch out, (I’m 6’3”). Love it. Talk about a hard wood though. Burned up a couple of drill bits on pilot holes and broke a few SS screws. I finished it with tung oil (the real stuff) and redo the finish every couple of years as it is in the shade mostly.

You can count on Foreman to always be droppin’ some dope moves.
By chance should you put some sort of sealer where you screwed in each slat, since it drilled into fresh wood again?
Excellent flossing from the Foreman.
Would love to have you come to my shop, but I live in the UK.
HA HA .... My project would be cleaning my shop! I am in Oregon... so it would be a day trip!!
Love the foreman! Would love to see foreman projects collaborations
You should totally try making your own barrel, charring it and aging some moonshine into whiskey.
I am supposed to go to bed now but I can't not watch a new Bourbon Moth episode. Guess I'm staying up.
I bet he narrates himself as he's working from our point of view too lol.
Good stuff bubba I can't wait to make this my full time work
Question - why not use a stiff nylon type brush versus a wire brush? Did the wire brush leave scratch marks? Very nice porch swing and love your videos. I learn a lot watching them. Have a great weekend!
Nylon is not stiff enough
