I am a structural welder by trade and I would encourage you to not tack this up inside the frame. He has a welding table so he could have fixtured it up with and clamped it into shape. Step 1. With Soapstone draw out the interior of the leg. Step 2. Take left over material and clamp it down to make a border of your traced soap stone lines. Step 3 drop material in. Step 4 use toggle clamps to push up agains your outer braces. Step 5, weld out the frame. I would have probably also from a design stand point made a cross instead of putting 2 45's in there. But yeah I absolutely do not like welding around semi finished parts of my wood working projects because you always spend more time cleaning them back up then you would if you just made some simple fixtures on your bench.

Thanks

Would love to try this but I don't have all those tools. And don't want to spend 10k on a patio set.

@jonathananson8101 It's honestly not that hard to build with basic tools. Just requires a little patience. Best advice I could give would be to spend a little extra on good, straight, kiln dried wood. Then find your cushions so you can make your dimensional drawings around them. Even if you had to buy all the tools to build this, you are under $1k, minus a welder. So you end up with a cool custom set of furniture that fits your needs perfectly, for a heck of a savings.

Your toxic trait is using the word "toxic"

Yeah....the tools are needed

Good idea

Are we watching a video about putting things together? Cuz you nailed it. :)

Matt, this build could have been a lesson in not being afraid to learn to do something right. Makers like Mr. B have a great enthusiasm for WW & they show us time & time again that they are not afraid of new challenges. Great. I just wish they would use, the many resources available on the science, art & craft of woodworking. Then viewers would learn from that example and be better prepared to trust the information they get on this channel. A quick glimpse at the comments, and I learned that there was a right way to do the welding, better lumber choices etc. etc. I am replying to YOUR comment because the "bad choice" you noticed; would have taken less than 10 dollars to fix. Not adding feet of some kind WILL, at some point, be detrimental to the build. And, lastly, a little project research, here on KZfaq, & he'd know not to have the wood sitting on the wet ground, where it will constantly wick up moisture, or directly on the concrete, where it will sit in pools of water after rain. KZfaq can be an excellent resource, with education and information served up with entertainment and easy to consume. Not just channels by professional woodworkers like Jon Peter's and Semi- Pros like Steve Rhamsy, but also established channels from DIY'ers like DIY creator & Anna White. I actually just watched a video on JP's channel & he did not mention any leg protection; however, you could see them in the video, and he added in the video description that he "forgot to mention in the video....I did add nylon domes to the bottom of the legs." Anyhow, I appreciate channels wanting to be original and viewers often enjoy the charm of mistakes. I also appreciate how much time, work and energy must go into producing these videos (i could never do it). I just want a little time in for researching tasks that are new for them. That way, they won't develop bad habits or teach them to their viewers. I hope Mr B. knows how lucky he is to have fans that love his style, but are also honest with him about his welding, wood choice, screw choices etc. With 3 quarters of a million subscribed, he must be doing something right. For me, if i didn't enjoy watching and want his channel to grow, i wouldn't have bothered with this, my hopefully constructive criticism. Thanks Matt, for reminding everyone to use sliders/bumpers/feet. ~ ♿Lisa🛠

@@geolisadrag-racing2349 this Mr B is just an entertainer. (period)

Nobody noticed that it was sitting on a carpet?

That's how you know you've made it on youtube, when the Home Reno guy comments on your video lol

Thanks Jeff

@@KeimpieceCarpentry def. Jeff is awesome

How's the flexseal guy doing these days?

Flexseal is that really you 🤩

Agree, all the cuts to "memes" ruin the flow and doesn't fit imo. Def preferred the older style but I do enjoy the faster pace

Came to the comments to see who said it first , this guys said it best. Please less meme clips. But love the content and the podcast !

I'm wondering if he got a new editor... the meme cuts definitely felt off brand and not needed.

Not really memes. They’re cartoons. And tiresome. I guess he’s trying to add more entertainment?

Came to the comments to say this. Hopefully takes the feedback on board, I enjoy this channel but more of that will get tedious fast

Too bad he didnt ask your opinion.....

Yeah man there are way too many cutaways to stupid ass clips.

@@joshuawebster4272 you sound like someone who doesn't take constructive criticism well at all if you're defending a stranger from constructive criticism

I didn’t see any memes. Lots of movie clips and cartoons. No memes.

No, it sucks

Max one meme per every 4 minutes of video.

Yea, no joke. Not only the memes, but it seems like the banter has also gotten so way over the top and obnoxious. As soon as he stops to talk I'm starting to skip ahead. Tone it down.

Agreed

Agreed

Agree!

Bro, 1500 just for the lumber in Acacia, if we are talking genuine southeast Asian Teak add another 1k to that

Or ipé , cumura hardwood

the link said it was teak, which is very expensive lumber

i was thinking the same thing

Agree!!

I was wondering that that too. Could have dominoed all that instead of using pocket holes.

My question exactly. If a couple of people sit on those pocket holes it’s likely to break

I was thinking that same thing. The 4x4s also tend to be better quality wood and more dry than the 2x4s in our local hardware stores.

Brilliant!!! ⭐🌟🤩

😂 great tip

LOL or hit up happy hour with the fellas!

OMG I'm so happy I'm not in a relationship like that. Does she also make you wear a leash?

@@MrTresto Well that insult just came out of nowhere, so I will play your little game. I doubt you are in a relationship with a female of any sorts. Well just to clarify, it was a joke. You do understand what those are, right?

hahahahahahahaha barely noticeable. Are you a framer or plumber?

Or at least put all the pocket holes in the back, if you are not going to plug them

So many pocket holes for having a festool domino set up.

@@chabib23 i was thinking the same thing, well, there were pocket holes back to back, Unnecessary.

Thank you

Who spends 15k on Roybi tools?

​@@jeffdasher5136 tons of non-ryobi tools used here, and he said the joiner tool he was using was $1000 alone...

I was thinking of those older kind of black screws that you need a flathead to tighten them with.

I totally agree. That was the first thing I said when project was done.

No such thing as too many

It's awful😐

Agreed way too many

Yea I like some but it’s overkill sometimes

Couldn’t even finish the video because it was over kill.. made it 6 min

All wood has silica, teak has a lot of silica.

Cedar would’ve been another good option but also the $10,000 set took into account the labor and overhead costs to make it.

@@TheFishingFL Includes research and design too. So he's smart to find something someone already designed and then rip it off. I'm not creative at all. But I can look at someone else's design of a piece of furniture and replicate it pretty well.

Sapele is also a great option for outdoor furniture. Gets a really nice patina to it too when left unsealed in the elements

I don’t think the budget is right….he first said he bought like $160 @:40 in lumber and that it wasn’t enough

Agreed. The huge durability difference warrants the price of cypress.

True, it’s to much

Yah a few is fine but this was excessive

I saw this comment before I watched and decided to count. It was 19. I agree way too many

Agreed - great content otherwise. Will be taking inspiration for my patio furniture build!

I agree, this trend was funny for a while but it’s over stayed its welcome.

LOL!

False, he needs MORE memes. You just don’t get it, boomer

You could buy thousands of dollars in tools just to build this furniture set and still come out way ahead... not to mention you now have thousands of dollars in tools that are essentially "payed off" now.

@@mitchellodom6746 dude his one tool he used to make the holes is $1,000... youre dreaming if you think you can buy these tools he used for under 10k

@@guitar911rock nobody is making you use a domino tool lol, you could easily make this with a few basic power tools... also could spend a little more on higher quality lumber to avoid having to do all the work he did at the beginning

@@guitar911rock you can easily make the all wood version he mentioned with way less tools and even if you wan the metal version you can still get only the tools necessary for well under 10k. Maybe you haven't built much or just like watching the videos but you can make something very similar, if not exact using different tools. Also Domino Joiner isn't necessary if that's the $1000 tool you're talking about.

@@guitar911rock Just spent a few minutes looking up the main tools he used for you. jointer: $800 Miter Saw: $330 Planer: $500 Domino: $1000 Total: $2630 Last time I checked that's less than 10k. You also don't need any of those tools to make this. Even if you insisted on welding, you could buy one for 500-2000 and still come out ahead.

Yea.. it's unwatchable. It's annoying.

Try a little humor. Don't be so impatient you'll get a better outcome in life. Relaaaaax!

@@scottloutner5253 💯💯💯

I'm not usually a fan, but I enjoy this edit. Maybe one or two less would suffice..

@@BuzzingGoober It must be required to become recommended as a YT "woodworker". They need the focus to be on the "actor" trying to be funny the entire video (obviously they never are) & they need to constantly cut/edit annoying clips throughout in order to hide the lack of actual woodworking skills.

add the amount of time you spent on it times $75/hour.... that's probably a good way to estimate the real price.
