Flat black was the right choice of colour. Looks really nice

For removing rust I would recommend using a corded power drill and wire brush wheels . I got a thorough clean metal surface . But I had a lot more rust . Use small and large head and various wheel type ones . Then I washed with water based Turps , hosed it down and when dry used Rustoleum Primer in a spray can . You were lucky your bolts could undo . Mine were severly corroded and had to use a Grinder

Love how you just tell what you are doing, no dramatic embellishment! Nice job, the color is almost always lighter on blond wood.

The finished build looks great - aren't you worried that you stained and finished the wood - but the wood where you drilled the holes is not finished and the weather will get to the wood and cause rot?

thanks for checking out the video Rodney. The bench is now on a back porch instead of directly in the weather. i also put a bit of urethane in the screw holes to help protect just in case.

Great video! I’m getting ready to restore one just like this. You explained everything very well and the music was calm. Some videos have music that is so distracting.

suggest using galvanized bolts. is pine strong enough? I've used Douglas fir.

@Wengelsworkshop 4 жыл бұрын

i believe pine is fine as long as the boards are wide enough

How was the paint finish compared to spray paint? No problem not using a primer?

What bit do you use to make the holes in the wood for the bolts? Thanks

Hey Dan, he used a countersink drill bit first which not only gives you a pilot hole but bores out the width for the head of whatever hardware you choose to sit at your desired depth. He then finished It up with a twist bit at the same diameter of his hardware.

I have sort of the same bench, just a different back (picked up the other day). The problem is the wood wasn’t there anymore so I have no template. Do you by chance know the dimensions of the slats for the bench and back pieces? The bench looks terrific!

@carlmax46 4 жыл бұрын

look at clip spacing, then allow a small gap.

I’m about to do a similar bench, is there a reason the corners for the back aren’t mitered? Every vid Iv found has them butt joined.

I would think that you could miter the corners, but I just mimicked the way it was.

Why not use spray paint?

@spicynomad 4 жыл бұрын

how much weight can one of these bench hold?

@carlmax46 4 жыл бұрын

depends on the wood used. traditionally Douglas fir was used; lasted for decades. most failures at bolt holes. so treat the drilled holes and use galvanized bolts.
