    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @boots7859

    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.
