On my son's 13th birthday party, we got him a full sized digital piano, because we just don't have a big enough place for a real piano. I found a great condition used piano on Craig's List, but it didn't come with a bench. I knew when I bought it, I was going to make one. I purchased some Hickory from my local discount lumber yard. This place buys scrap wood, or left overs and sell it for a great discount price. I picked up this Hickory that is 5/4" x 4 1/2 inches and they vary from 30"-36". I believe I used either 4 or 5 of these boards that I purchased for $3 a piece.....so, score!!
I am really pleased and proud of this bench. It looks so good with the piano, and to me, looks like it came with it. My son noticed that it makes him sit up straighter and gives him the correct posture. My wife loves the fact that it has storage for the music books, well so do I.
If you have any questions that I can answer for you, please feel free to leave them down in the comments and I will answer them as soon as I can.
As always, I appreciate you watching and I really hope you enjoyed it!! Thanks!

I like your approach to woodworking, but in this video especially liked the camera work and editing. Thanks for the ideas.

Thank you so much for the comment! I had to rewatch it to see what I did in the editing. There are some good stuff in there that I should implement in other future videos. It's always nice to hear positive feedback. Thanks again!

I’m impressed at how well it instantly improved your sons piano playing. Im going to make myself a guitar bench and hope for the same results! Thanks for sharing.

Ha ha ha....you caught that, huh? It was quite impressive. 😉 Hope you have as good of results on your guitar bench. Good luck, and thanks for the comment.

What is the name of that tune he was playing at the end of the video ? Looks like that would be a good exercise for playing with both hands at the same time. I learning BOOGIE WOOGIE piano, and using both hands coordination is the most challenging.

How did you know which way to flip it on the second cut on the taper?

@user-mv3qe2wi5u Жыл бұрын

Nice woodworking however I waited thirteen minutes to get to the hinges. Booooom, fast forwarded through the important part of how to get the correct spacing on the hinges as well as how to get the top attached to the hinge.

What was the wood plastic for? Was it just to fix some problems or was it used as a grain filler or something like that?

I used it to fill in some holes on the recycled piece of plywood.

What state are you located in? I’m looking to pair up with someone who can build basic piano benches for a very reasonable cost of materials.

@TheBeardedWoodworker 4 жыл бұрын

I'm in Oregon. Where are you located? I can find good deals every now and again, but the prices were I live are pretty high. I'm in a very low populated are of the Central Coast.

@Aurea8787 4 жыл бұрын

Aw, bummer, I’m in NC. The cost just to ship them here would be really expensive. I was hoping you were on the East Coast. Your bench looks great though still!

@TheBeardedWoodworker 4 жыл бұрын

Hey thank a lot! Yeah, just doesn't sound economical to ship across the country. Thanks for the inquiry though, and I hope you find the right person for the job! Good luck.
