How to Build a Mudroom Storage Bench and Hall Tree
Рет қаралды 115,350
Күн бұрынHey friends! In this video, I'm sharing how I built this hall tree/mudroom built in with storage bench.
It's a pretty simple build (although a little heavy!) from a few sheets of plywood.
I hope you enjoy watching it come together in the video, but if you want to build your own, grab the plans linked below.

Love the project! Bubbs was telling you to quit talking and get back to work. LOL This mudroom bench would work perfectly in my daughter's house so I'll suggest it to her. Thanks for the tips about painting, especially the caulk (I hadn't thought of that), and your reasoning for how you sand and paint. Many times we get lost at the finishing touches and end up doing things the hard way. Until next time... Saw and paint safe.

I don't have any power tools to build wood furniture, but I would like to start. I looked at some online videos and almost gave up, given the number of large and expensive machines and power tools some folks have. My goal is to build a custom shoe bench for a specific area I have at home. When I was almost giving up, I found your video and that inspired me to start and take the next step. I just watched it and it brought a smile to my face (and hope too!). I won't buy an expensive table saw. I just learned from your video that a thing called saw guide rail exists! So I can buy a circular saw and this saw guide to get the straight cuts on the playwood done. I may also buy a mitter saw for specific cuts. I will also need an orbital sander and maybe a nail gun (but I have no idea which one to buy and which nails to use yet). I will also try to buy the pocket hole jig. I saw several videos where people use pocket holes with screws to put the pieces together rather than using cam lock fasteners. Pocket holes probably make the final product sturdier and if the idea is not do disassemble the piece of furniture in the future, then I guess pocket holes would be the best choice. So, I will now plan on what tools and materials to buy. Your video was the motivation I needed. This will be my very first project of this kind. And I want to keep going and build more pieces of furniture and other things made of wood. Thank you for sharing any detail you can. You wouldn't believe how much your videos help DIY folks like me. Your explanations are better than many that I saw from professionals. Keep doing the great work that you do. Much peace and health to you and your family. Thank you!

Dang Shara, this video was just full of gold for me! From the cat attacking your process, a little ride on the struggle bus, and being forced to paint for us (dance monkey, dance!). You know, you could always get a sprayer if you don’t like painting that badly! (I love the description of what the thought of cleaning a sprayer makes you feel!). Now to the seriousness, this is a project that I am seriously going to have to hide from my wife! Not only has she been telling me she wants something just like this in our entry, but green is even her favorite color! 🙊 So, just for this week, I’m going to hide you from my wife, lest I find myself heading out for a couple sheets of plywood! (I’m going to go ahead and save the link to the plans though…you know…just in case! 😉 Oh, I love the hat too. Well, toboggan that is, but it looks warm and comfy.

What I like the most is that you've sized things in such a way that if one wanted to, they could make it 2/3, or even, 1/3 as wide as the original. It would be great to se it in place.

HI, Shara. Thanks for this video. I have so much fun watching and listening to you when you explain your building process. You are absolutely real when you share with us and I love it. The more that you talk and share with us, the better that I like it. When you were explaining the painting and sanding process, I thought of the saying, "If it feels smooth, it is smooth." I think that a lot of people would over think this. BTW: I would be interested in hearing any other of your Dad's "Pearls of Wisdom". I bet that he had a bunch of them. I love this bench unit. I think that your friend's choice of hooks was a good one.

Hi! I really really appreciate your kind words! I love to hear that you enjoy the videos and the details I try to put into it. And yes, that's like my motto for everything..."if it works, it works." So, I'll have to remember this new one...if it feels smooth, it is smooth. One of these days, I'd like to get my dad to be in a video--he's not a fan of the idea, so we will see. He's full of "pearls of wisdom," but also lots of nonsense a lot of times 😂 Anyway, Thanks so much for watching! I always appreciate you following along. Have a great weekend!

I like it. If you don't have wood filler and want to fill holes on a piece you're painting, you can use drywall joint compound. I liked seeing the painting part. I think it's not just for tips and tricks, like the sanding, but it's also weirdly satisfying . . . like pressure washing and lawn mowing videos.

Shara, you surprised me by releasing this video on Friday instead of Saturday morning. I'm glad you included your "boring" paint process for you as my Wife has been talking to me about painting the pole barn and house most of this Winter. I'll be sharing with her. I'm working on my "built-in" office and it's starting to come together which is really exciting here. Following your lead I ordered 10 pairs of drawer glides (need 4 pairs for this project) visited you video on how to build drawers. I guess I have my own style for drawers but a refresher course certainly was helpful so thank you so much. I bought a thermometer for my shop for $8.00. When it says 40 degrees inside the shop that's good thing! Next week it's going to get bitter cold here so progress may get slowed on the project. Despite the excitement around the building process my attention will get divided between the chickens, dog, and my Son's dog whom we're taking care of this weekend. So I'm not a bit surprised to see Bud and Lucy in your video's and your workshop. It's a dog's (or cat's world) don't you know. I appreciate all the little tips you add which make a big difference around here. Thanks for Sharing!

Aw yay a new full length Shara build! I love the board-and batten style of this! I believe a lot of us would just as soon snap our fingers at the end of the build and have the finish magically appear, but your finishing process is simple, sound and straightforward... and no one can argue with the results. I personally love the color choices (I suspect that if this was for your home, it would be rockin' that black and white vibe though!). p.s. I spy a kitty tail at 5:50...😊

It must be, the way you were dancing with that giantly wide panel. The spray gun thing is a tough one. I've got a Fuji Q5. The thing about a project like this is it would take you like three minutes to spray it, and then 20 minutes to clean the gun. But then, is that still less time than brushing and rolling? Probably, I think. And if the paint will dry fast enough, you can leave the paint in the gun for a few hours between coats.

The panel seemed fine for this situation. But, it was also reinforced by attaching it to the bench and then adding the trim. I think whether pocket hole screwing large panels of plywood is viable would depend on the situation it’s being used for. In this case, it wasn’t really a critical structural piece…it just made it easier to attach the trim if they were secured together. But that’s just my rambling thoughts haha. Yeah I’ve debated a lot on the sprayer. I used to have one years ago and didn’t really love using it. So I’ve stuck to brush and roll. It takes longer from start to finish, but usually I’m doing something else between coats so it doesn’t really matter. I paint maybe 1/5 projects, so when I have to, I just turn on the radio and make it as bearable as possible haha. I also don’t like to tape stuff off 🤣🙈

I bought and tried a Wagner paint sprayer that I picked up at Home Deport several years ago. I used it twice and the clean-up was a huge pain to clean it all out and clean up paint from the nozzle. Plus, I had difficulty dialing in the sprayer pattern to get an even spray coat with a fine mist. I gave the Wagner to my brother-in-law and I'm not even sure he has ever used it. I have a lot of talents, but using paint sprayers is not one of them. The end result just wasn't worth my time as I am already pretty good with good ole rollers and brushes that I just toss when done. Maybe I should try something other than the Wagner some day and it might be a better experience?

@@aytviewer2421 spraying with any kind of HVLP system, and getting great results, is all a matter of paint viscosity. I have a very high end Fuji Q5, and even if I'm spraying Sherwin William Emerald pain, I still have to thin it with a little water to get it thin enough to go on without orange peel. Those wagner style HVLP system, where the motor and the nozzle are one part, require thinning even more, because they don't have that much power to atomize the paint. It took me a lot of experimenting to get to where I can get a good finish every time, but now I've for it dialed in (including cleaning) , and I don't dread painting so much any more. But I still don't love it, either lol.

Another great project. As I watched you handling those plywood panels I wondered if Kreg hadn’t provided you their carrier. I finally decided to try one and it helps quite a bit. With that I can can position the carrier in the center of the panel, then lift and support near my shoulder allowing me to keep my back straight and maximize leverage with my legs. It’s just more comfortable and easier to move panels. Also, I noticed your really nice sander. One of the things I like about your channel is that your tools are all very accessible price wise. You show that you don’t need a Festool shop to make. Nothing against Festool if I could afford them, I’d probably have some. So, I’m thinking that sander really must be worth it in comparison to say the Ryobi or Rigid brands you typically use. Can you talk about it sometime in a future video? Thx again, love your channel.
@WoodshopDiaries Жыл бұрын
Thank you so much! Yes, actually Kreg did give me one of those carriers and I use it quite a bit. I had left it in my garage and didn't want to go get it here haha. it definitely makes carrying them easier, but it still doesn't help getting them up on the workbench...pros and cons. So about the sander...happy to share my thoughts. I had a mirka sander and it died last fall (it only lasted about two years which was disappointing considering the price tag). I didn't want to invest big money in another fancy sander to only last a couple years, SO I purchased (with my own money) a Bosch orbital sander (I think it was like $120). And it worked perfectly fine and I would recommend it. However, a couple months later, SurfPrep sent me this sander, but the vacuum was on backorder so they didn't send that. After using the sander without the vacuum for a little bit, it was VERY apparent the vacuum was a necessity. This sander definitely removes material well, so it is incredibly dusty. So when the vacuums came back in stock, I did spend my own money to buy the vacuum to go with the sander because I felt it was worth it and I've been using that system the last couple months. I will say from my experience, it's way better than the mirka (and the whole system is cheaper, too, I believe) that I had. So if I had to recommend a "fancy" sander, I'd definitely go with SurfPrep. But, if it were to die and I had to start over again, I'd probably just go back to my Bosch because I have a hard time spending a lot of money on sanding tools--they're just not the most exciting tool in the shop.

One question and sorry I know you've answered this in a video before but I can't remember which one it was a few years back. How do you screw in the pocket hole joints without clamping you always seem to make it work and they never shift on you. Where are you putting the pressure to keep the wood from slipping what's your trick! Part of me thinks you just have awesome grip strength from all the projects you make lol!!!

I use a 100 tooth finish blade on it. They’re pricey but they cut SO smooth. High tooth count finish blades are exactly what you want for plywood.
