I think this design is just for a few. I made one for myself, a few years back and the only people that were impressed were woodworkers. But I like it and might do another one, since my skills have improved. Great build!

Hey-up Karl, Great vid and build as always. I can't believe nobody wanted it, you were giving it away at 20 quid, I would have driven around to your place and picked it up if I'd known about it. Anyroad, donating it to charity shows what a true gentleman you are, regards, Fred

Cheers Fred, I was actually trying to sell for 400 pounds, I paid for a advert on on Facebook Market place for 20. I didn't explain it well at all in the video.

Cracking video again. It’s deffenatly not a failure. It may not earn money in the manor you intended but it sounds like it will earn some for a very worth charity at an auction. Some times a win doesn’t alway look how we expect but they are still wins regardless. Well done for building a lovely piece for the right reasons.

Price it much higher £500 bench and call it George Nelson "style" bench. This bench made by Vitra is ~£950 from The Conran Shop.
@anthonyseiver7000 Жыл бұрын
Serious question do you think that the low price meant people thought it was cheap and therefore poorly built. Do you think £100 might have generated more interest from the punters?

Hi Anthony I totally ballsed up in the writing of that statement, I should of said I paid for a £20 advert on Facebook the actual cost was £400 for the bench. Sorry I should of checked that better before releasing the video.

Karl, you and I are both old enough to know by now that the world is just full of miserable little farts and nomatter what you make it's just ot enough for them, unless you offer to give it away for free oh and deliver it and set it up for free and not to forget the last thing, go back every year and reapply more finish. Only then will they consider the item good enough for their little sad lifestyle. 😅😢😂. Now thats off one chest, the bench turned out really good mate especially when you consider the fact that you made it from a pallet albeit a posher looking pallet 😅😊. You've probably done the right thing by donating the bench to one of your local charities, they will get waymore than the 20 squidlies you was wanting to sell and donate it for. As always buddy 💯% 👍. P.s The "Pro Tip " comment had me howling, you wouldn't believe the amount of time I've heard this in a video and chringed😮🤪.
