Great video man. I like it when you tell us the dimensions/plans in the video, rather than have to download or look for them in the description. Awesome.

Love this, sent it one of my husbands veteran mates who made some fab wooden storage boxes for me and he loves it and is gonna give it a go. I was wondering have you ever made a small occasional work bench about 16” square that is easy to store when not in use. When needed it can unfold or be legless and hung on the wall somehow to use! Not found anything yet! Needing a occasional work bench we can hang on the outside of the shed or attach legs to. Hope to add various bolts in set spots for attaching a small drill press stored in a corner, or a vice and a small vice which needs to be beside a small water bath (adapted box) to use with a flex tool diamond cutting blade. So that when I’m working with small rocks and gemstones with water I’m not soaking hubby’s shed! Then can easily put everything away after! Very small scale thought about adapting this and heightening it but then realised I need the footprint in the shed to store it, space is a premium! Couldn’t figure how to either do it that it attaches to the shed wall and self supports for use without legs or a way to add legs on! With the bolts recessed ad. Left in situ can be used then for anything! 😊😊

Now that's neat as well as neatly done, question- if someone wanted to make a cutting board would they do the same process as the stool seat? Inquiring minds want to know 🤔

@SpecificLove7 4 жыл бұрын

It would be a similar process but the wood strips would need to be much smaller to prevent warping. I would also suggest using only Hardwoods for durability. Definitely watch some other videos of the process first.
