I'm just starting out wood working and I love seeing ppl create something out of a simple piece of wood. I've been picking up my tools a little at a time and one of the things I dont have is one of the things you said you didnt have, and that was the jig. I need to get one of those and then learn how to use it. I may try and build me a couch, however, I think I'll make a smaller version because I don't have the space. Thank you for making this video, it was very helpful!

@MeganBell 4 жыл бұрын

I realized later that I used the kreg jig incorrectly in this video. It still got the job done, but there’s a better way to use it for sure! I love learning about wood working and sharing it with kind people like you who give such positive feedback.

Great work! So far this is the best. I'm getting ready to have some build for my pergola and it's huge. The only different thing that I would do, is build them slanted at least one couch. I've been told that if I have the back and seat slanted it's lots more comfortable. We will see how it turns out. Thanks for your video.

Hi Megan, many thanks for posting this video. A friend asked if I could make her a bench to match a photo she'd found on the net. I found your video which was an almost identical design and built it today for her in 12 hours. The bench I made was a bit shorter than yours. Thanks so much for the inspiration.

Thank you for the instruction video while you show your work. I am building my first ever outdoor furniture...well first build of anything of that size. I truly appreciate seeing the steps actual being done not just small diagrams on a screen or paper. It has given me better idea wtf I need to do. Puts a 3d plan in my head instead of a 2d paper concept. High 5 and wish me luck 🤪

OMG!! I have been wanting to do this for so long !! A tree just fell on our lower deck and crushed the couch which I felt was always small. And I said to myself, I would love to have a couch that is the whole leanth of the deck . But to buy one like you said, would cost an arm and a leg. My wife is currently looking for a replacement to match the rest of the set. Way more than yours. The only problem is we have opposite taste in almost everything. Not sure how it lasted 20 years!!😂😂. Anyway, wish me luck!!!

I love how this turned out and that you modified the original plan. I don't see the plan in the description, though, or on their site, so maybe they don't have it anymore? I'll be now that you've done projects for years, you'd probably do more pocket-hole construction throughout. I think I would. With your great directions, I'm thinking of creating this for my deck! Thanks Megan from the past!

This looks really good, just for next time using the pocket hole jig, always make your pocket holes on the face of the board into the end grain. Much stronger joint that way and much less chance of tear out. This is about a year old so you probably figured that out by now though. Very nice job!
