    Dear Steve! Any recommendation for a good Drill Press? Thanks for your inspiring videos! God bless.



  2. Stephen Patterson on March 27, 2022 at 6:15 pm

    I could make a small bench, right now, maybe…



  3. Asmaa Ulfi on March 27, 2022 at 6:16 pm

  7. Plant Based Gaming on March 27, 2022 at 6:18 pm

  10. Mark Finley on March 27, 2022 at 6:21 pm

    I might use this design for my eagle project!



  11. Andy Truong on March 27, 2022 at 6:23 pm

    Hi I’m a complete beginner at woodworking and I’m doing this for an eagle project.

    Some things that are not clear to me are:

    1. what type of wood to use
    2. how long the deck screws need to be and as well as, how many
    3. how pocket screws work.
    4. and how much paint do i need?

    It would be really nice if you could also give me some tips 🙂
    Thanks!



  12. Yuki Rozen on March 27, 2022 at 6:23 pm

    For a moment in the beginning I though I was seeing Hugh Laurie 😅😅😅😅



  13. eddieme2009 on March 27, 2022 at 6:24 pm

    Nice color… Ube



  14. Azethine on March 27, 2022 at 6:25 pm

    i appreciate the picture of the duck



  15. William Corson on March 27, 2022 at 6:25 pm

    Where are the plans? The link is wrong and I know that its a pretty easy project but the plans would help



  16. cap'n jimmy on March 27, 2022 at 6:27 pm

    Wow I’m sure that’s expensive to make . With all that purple heart



  17. jim solari on March 27, 2022 at 6:29 pm

    Page not found? Are the plans still available?



  18. Stewart on March 27, 2022 at 6:30 pm

    if i were to make it and sell it what would be a good price.



  19. SarahMyK9 on March 27, 2022 at 6:31 pm

    I’m new to woodworking and just purchased a used table saw. I’m curious. Is there a reason you choose to use a miter saw to cut the wood over a table saw? Would there be any difference if I cut the wood using a table saw? Thanks. Going to try to make this project thanks to you. 🙂



  20. Matt Hannan on March 27, 2022 at 6:32 pm

    Built this bench over this past weekend. Wife told me to take down an unused sandbox that I was asked to build two years ago out of untreated 2x10s. Then she said she wanted a bench to go where the sandbox was. It is a shady spot under a large tree. I wanted to put a patio there, but was over-ruled in favor of a sandbox. When she said "bench", I instantly thought of this one. Ripped the 2x10s to 2x4s, discarding the part that was in direct contact with the ground. Even reused the 3" deck screws! She’s happy with the bench, and I am finally getting my shady patio. Total cost: one 3/4" dowel. Thanks, Steve!



  21. Rob I on March 27, 2022 at 6:33 pm

    Great project, Steve. Wondering if there is any risk of splitting the dowel upon driving in the screws?



  22. Dror Hermesh on March 27, 2022 at 6:34 pm

    Can you renew the link to the plans please?



  23. Heather Cox on March 27, 2022 at 6:35 pm

    These plans are not accessible. The site says page not found.



  24. Shareem Qureshi on March 27, 2022 at 6:35 pm

    Love this bench, why kind of paint did you use



  25. Erd TV on March 27, 2022 at 6:35 pm

    really inspired by your work. a newbie here for DIY and would really want to learn more. 👍🏻 started my journey as well, check it out if you have time 😉



  26. Master Plus Fabrica on March 27, 2022 at 6:36 pm

    CARA VOCÊ É FERA NISSO MUITO BOM THE BEST



  27. Idaho Dream on March 27, 2022 at 6:37 pm

    We were going to follow the plans on your website to build this bench but there is not a "material list" to follow.



  28. Nebur Nynhs on March 27, 2022 at 6:38 pm

    what hand saws did you use at around 2:36?



  29. Abhay Choudhary on March 27, 2022 at 6:41 pm

    The word is that Hyezmar (google him) is going to change his mind and sell his plans, but as of today there’s still available to download, you’re welcome 😀



  30. malcolm oxley on March 27, 2022 at 6:42 pm

    Hi Steve,I have just made a garden bench and a I live in rainy england I was wondering if you have a method for stopping the legs from rotting away,the bench is soft wood cheers malc



  31. Chasca Snow on March 27, 2022 at 6:42 pm

    So do need to sand before painting?



  32. Loadinglevelone on March 27, 2022 at 6:42 pm

    What about moisture content for outdoor furniture like this?
    Do you let your 2×4’s dry before using them – or are you using them straight from the store?



  33. Joseph Bernal on March 27, 2022 at 6:44 pm

    What kind of paint did you use?



  34. john ortega on March 27, 2022 at 6:45 pm

    Steve, I really like this project, I will modify it to make bonsai stands. Again, thanks a bunch. John



  35. Ed Straub on March 27, 2022 at 6:46 pm

    my wife calls me perfect, yep! She says that I’m, "the perfect example of imperfection." She says she knows how to have perfection in woodworking, "she buys it already made from the store.
    Hi Ed, Good job, mmmmm? What’s this guys name anyway? No I didn’t say his name was anyway.
    Have a great woodworking day, and no clowning in the shop, it’s dangerous.



  36. Robert Edwards on March 27, 2022 at 6:47 pm

    Steve, love the video and idea. The link to the plans no longer works and a search on your site only comes us with the Popsicle Bench (Which I love and am in the process of building). Can you check on this please?????



  37. Paul Buono on March 27, 2022 at 6:49 pm

    cool bench but I could only assume your lumber store offered a free gallon of purple paint with the purchase of seven 2×4’s



  38. Kenneth Way on March 27, 2022 at 6:51 pm

    Steve, I’d love to download your outdoor bench plans but I keep getting a 404 error code. I’ve seen this on several of your free plans, what’s up bud?



  39. Zack16Fair on March 27, 2022 at 6:51 pm

    That purple looks hot ngl.



  40. Tony Green on March 27, 2022 at 6:53 pm

    simple, easy and useful, nica Job í Will build one of those myself



  41. Brett Crockett on March 27, 2022 at 6:53 pm

    Link takes you to plans for a mobile work station, not an outdoor bench like in video



  42. Joe Bilhete on March 27, 2022 at 7:00 pm

    Man your good you explain it so well



  43. FATHER on March 27, 2022 at 7:00 pm

    Ducks equal subscribers



  44. Simon Banderas on March 27, 2022 at 7:03 pm

    What paint did you use?



  45. superdavidbrothers on March 27, 2022 at 7:05 pm

    Can you paint in any color you want instead of purple? Because my favorite color is green and I was thinking of painting my park bench (whenever I build one) lime green. Can you also paint the pocket holes too or will that be hard to put the screws in (actually maybe I could just paint the pocket holes after I put the screws in)??



  46. Master Plus Fabrica on March 27, 2022 at 7:07 pm

    O LINK DO PROJETO NÃO FUNCIONA



  47. Yousif Eid on March 27, 2022 at 7:07 pm

  48. George S on March 27, 2022 at 7:08 pm

    I really like this bench! Too bad the link to the plans is broken and I can’t find it on your website. =(



  49. Kyle Nokes on March 27, 2022 at 7:08 pm

    I’d like to know more measurements. Like how long are the seat board? and how much did you space them?



  50. MetalChick27 on March 27, 2022 at 7:09 pm

    i swear my dad has this exact bench in our yard, except we use it to hold potted plants.
