What I like most about this guy? None of his projects require the festool domino
Too true! 😂
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection czcams.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
I know this is an old video, but that transition between the model and real life view at around 145 was just so buttery smooth
This is great! I am going to make a couple of these this summer. My only concern is water filling the top holes for the bolts and sitting in there either rotting the wood or rusting the bolts eventually. I think I will try to put pieces of wire or small plastic tubing on either side of the bolts, something I can hopefully get out when removing the forms, to leave a small track/indentation in the concrete for any water that would collect in the holes to be able to run out
This is the best CZcams channel of DIY
In these troubling times of June of 2020, it is helpful to be able to go on to the internet and find a calm soothing voice, explain to me something that is helpful - versus some other channel where opinionated people talk about biased viewpoints that seem intended to get some of the viewers to get their knickers in a wad.

Thank you very much! I so appreciate the support!
Your channel is the best channel at showing and demonstrating how to build things that I've personally seen. Love how you show both using the table saw and circular saw to cut with. Plus, graphic plans are great too. This is another fun project that won't be too difficult to make thanks to the thoroughness you present in making the project. Turned out beautifully.
Thank you so much! It was a very fun project.
@@MANaboutTOOLS You're welcome.
Exactly! -- I'm always curious how someone can "thumbsdown" a free video that has obviously had so much thought and effort put into it.
I think I finally found something to do since becoming disabled. Love the simple directions!
Calm collected slow delivery for even non woodworker to understand and encourage to dive in and realised how one doesn't need big workshop to do lovely everyday projects which was holding me back. Thank you very very much.
Another great project - thanks for sharing!
Beautiful!
Good work!
Thanks for the video.
Fantastic project. Thank you 🙏 for sharing
so much detail provided. Thank you.
Looks really sharp!
Great addition
So easy to follow and understand. 👍
So cool! Man, that bench looks good.
Well made and explained.
Great looking project. Tempted to try this myself with some raised grain wood for the forms
Beautiful bench and it really goes with your concrete garden boxes. Thank you for the video and another great idea. Take care and have a good weekend.
Fantastic video! Great animation as well. Top notch!
Will be adding this to my list of spring projects for my garden! Thanks for being detailed - this really helps a non-builder like myself. TFS!
Excellent work, clearly described and thorough. Thank you.
I really like the simple elegance of that bench.
Amazing work and sharp in details
The perfect how 2 video , step by step . Thank you.
That was an amazing instructional video! I've subscribed for sure!
BEAUTIFUL assembly demo! Thanks for taking great care to convey this nice design.👏👏👏
Really, really cool!
nice clean design
Gorgeous design & execution! Keep it up!
I really enjoy the detailing you use in your vids. I am learning much from watching you work. Thank you!
Great project!!! nice.
Great looking bench. The plasticizer works well.
Awesome, thanks for sharing.
This was an awesome bench and craftsmanship by you!
amazing video great work
Nice bench, I like the contrast between the concrete legs and the wooden boards. :-)
Those castings came out great!
Thumbs Up to you. Pleasing to watch your work.
Excellent instruction, so thorough. You have inspired me and many others! Thank you.
Guy as simple as it looks, that was a very nice bench, built with true skill...Great job
Absolutely great job, enjoyed the project big time, 2 👍👍’s up !
Very nice!
Great job
Good , quality work
Thanks
Yet another brilliant tutorial video
very nice!!!
For sure you have an engineer background, great class, fenomenal job. Keep up, please.
I built 2 of these. They turned out very nice. Thank you!!
That Rapid Set is an amazing product. Normally sets very fast, but it is very strong, far superior to regular motor mixes.
Super good instructions and visuals
Excelente!!!
I was getting super impatient about your new video! Well worth the wait as always. You are rockin' it!
Can Burak B. Thanks! This summer got very busy with another project. I appreciate your patience. Almost done Part 3.5 of lightweight concrete tests. That’s up next in a couple weeks. Kent
you're videos are very well done!!!
What you did is an art man
I liked your idea of making a quick drill guide for drilling into the end grain of the stretcher. I can't ever recall wanting to drill straight holes in end grain before but I might just have to try making some of these. I too like working with concrete and wood. Just made a cat house with a concrete top to give the critters somewhere to keep warm this winter.
Thanks Bob!
Brilliant at giving instructions. Makes me want to give it a go.
Thanks for the every your projects. 😊😊😊
Glad you like them!
The professionnel man 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Really impressed with the dissolve from the CG model to the real one you built. Excellent work.
Thanks! It's fun when that works out.
Parabéns! Muito bom. 👍
used motor oil works amazing as well, and its free!
Really nice, well organised presentation.
amazing animation..great job
WoW........That is awesome ....I love it ........!
Thanks so much!
That transition at 1:22 ! Well done! You've earned my like and subscribe!
I was really impressed by that also. The fir to birch transition at 3:28 was cool too.
recent to this channel but very good work and videos
Awesome job awesome VDO, gave you +1 and like
Great work
Thank you! Cheers!
Perfect
Привет! Ты молодец! Здорово все сделал. Hello, well done. Thank you.
Nice job my friend
Thanks 👍
Very clean work and what a great instructional video like all others that you do. You're really a great pro.
I appreciate that!
I'd be worried about the carriage bolts spinning in the concrete. another option to avoid that is a square u-bolt cut in half so you have an "L" shaped bolt.
Very nice, and doable for most of us handymen. My only change would be to either blacken the bolts/screws, or figure out how to electroplate them in bronze.
Excellent and inspiring. Do you have a suggestion about how to add a back rest to this bench design? Thank you for the effort you make to share, with such success, your experience with all of us!
Leading in bolts lasts longest.
👍Eline saglik çok güzel oldu 👍
Great job..nice and clean way.. Keep it up. Learning new things from srilanka.
Nice
I thought if I read all the people questions asked I found my answer..... Very good bench.....
Love the design. I’m going to use an sds max and screw bolts instead of nuts though for the top.
Sweet build, Kent... thank you for taking the time to make such a thoroughly detailed vlog. Once it's cured for 28 days are you going to show us your "dance on the bench" strength test? :o)
Thanks! It's very sturdy right out of the form. Cheers, Kent
Verry Nice Channel
Really like your bench. The only difference I’d make is use of S/S threaded rod cut to length or ensure galvanized bolts are hot dipped not plated.
Good tip! I only used the hot dipped.
Excellent video, excellent production, and excellent project. Thank-You so much! The only suggestion I can offer is if you are going to pour many legs then you may want to invest in marine grade plywood. It's expensive but the layers are high quality and the glue used is not water soluble.
Очень красивая скамейка. Дизайн безупречен.
Awesome build. Would it be structurally sound to make it a longer bench? And if so what’s the max length the boards could support you think?
"hit the juice on my ride 13:21 then i let the alpine play" -Eazy E
Would be great if you can add a 10 degree angle back rest at feet rest form. I will love to see that!!!
Great job! I enjoyed it all the way through. What software did you use for the drawings and animations?
Thanks! I use Sketchup Pro.
Well done, Kent. I would have embedded coupling nuts into the concrete vs bolts but, meh, that's just me.
Thanks! I looked at that too. But went with the carriage bolts as they are easier to find for most people.
@@MANaboutTOOLS should be able to get J bolts at any of the big box stores right next to the carriage bolts tho and they will serve much better. Carriage bolts may tend to twist down the road. Good luck tho, great job.
I really like your designs , the problem I see though is around here at least good lumber all goes to builders and what I can get all is warped , cupped , bowed , twisted , etc. I once had a job doing construction site cleanup and was told to dispose of a entire bundle of 14 foot 2x6 fir that were perfect !
nice
Thanks
Nice design, and very clear instructions. I have some doubts about the way the bolts are inserted. The concrete seems too brittle and I can imagine they will slowly break the concrete when force is exerted. Maybe it makes sense to somehow 'package the bolts before pooring them in? For example in epoxy.
Well done video, and very attractive bench. Any idea how much the final product weighs?
Thanks! Each leg is around 50lbs. I'll put them on the scale when I move the bench to the garden.
would a light coat of grease keep the cement from curing? I'm asking because I thought of using a more decorative piece of wood in the middle - that has a lot of curves, etc.
Good "How to" video. Question, do you think a concrete sealer would be a good idea for the castings?
Thanks! I don't have much experience with sealers.
