Do you want a big outdoor storage bench.
You'll be able to store seat cushions, toys, tools, and even the kitchen sink with the one in this video.
Hi Friend, I'm Jeff from Home Repair Tutor and you'll love this outdoor storage bench because it's easy to build. And spacious!! I built it specifically for my patio seat cushions.
You don't need a ton of tools for this project. I do show you how to use a Kreg Jig. It's an awesome little carpentry tool that runs about $39 and can be bought at any home center. You'll also need a circular saw or miter saw and drill or impact driver.
The entire outdoor storage bench is made from a 2 x 4 foot sheet of oak plywood and 1 x 4 pieces of pine lumber. Make sure the pine lumber isn't warped since it will make up the sides of the bench.
You'll stack the 1 x 4s on top of each other and use pocket holes to attach them.
Watch the video for all the details. And add your comments if you think you could improve the design!! I'm all ears and love learning new stuff.

how waterproof is it? can it be put under heavy rain storm? or do i need to buy somesort of a sheet to cover top and base and around from inside?

@altravels7426 3 года назад

I think pocket holes for thisbtype of lroject are overkill

@BeccaL2016 4 года назад

I wish you could just list all the materials in a list and measurements. For people like me, I have no ideas of what these materials are called. Do you need to paint the box for outside? Cause the rain will ruin it?

@adamwalters85 Год назад

how do i make a chest that have 4 times 4ft long 2FT wide so the top opens but one of the sides open as well

@spyhunter99 4 года назад

what kind of wood did you use?

@JAM-zb2vh 3 года назад

hello Jeff that was a great build I am going to use it but modify it so a small freezer will fit in it and keep it outside by the BBQ I have everything but the Kreg jig. God bless you and your family.

@johnm8961 3 года назад

Nice work but flex seal is a joke. You will find out when it starts leaking.

@sk13ppy 4 года назад

Too many pieces of timber, too many screws and a hell of a lot of glue!

@nayibherrera9099 2 года назад

Awesome

@steelthunder76 3 года назад

LMFAO

@romeliapolly2520 4 года назад

This time I will do it manually with the help of Woodglut designs.

@janeromnicki6598 Год назад

Mine works too. I used the Woodglut plans and performed it without any problems.

Awesome video

@Todo_swato 5 лет назад

If you want to stain this, would you do it before or after putting it together? I'm gonna try to tackle this over the weekend. Wish me luck.

@hunted360 3 года назад

Great video! Enjoyed the thoroughness of each step.

@IanDDalton 10 лет назад

brilliant idea, I have been looking for something to store my kids in, I mean garden stuff :)

@HomeRepairTutor 10 лет назад

Ian Davison-dalton LOL, yes that was only a joke. But my girls had fun making the video.

@ricardomartin3008 7 лет назад

This is a great video. I have seen it many times and am getting ready to build the same storage bench. Thanks again.

@Todo_swato 5 лет назад

Did you ever build it? how did it turn out?

@tigerlin110 3 года назад

Nice one！

@Jtek1 7 лет назад

Nice bench superman. Glasses are a dead giveaway...

@itstime5357 4 года назад

Thanks for the step by step. Looks good!

@sheldonscotchel4791 5 лет назад

gonna be a great fathers day gift

@henrysdiyclub2 10 лет назад

That turned out pretty sweet! I like the idea of building up the sides using pocket screws. Another reason to buy the system I guess...

@HomeRepairTutor 10 лет назад

Thanks Henry's DIY Club - yes, the jig is pretty darn awesome

@bbtjerky 10 лет назад

Jeff: I will have this project done today.. If it is ok, I am going to link this video to a blog post about this project. I will be using a polyurethane to finish the project.

@HomeRepairTutor 10 лет назад

bbtjerky that's totally okay. Keep me posted on your project. I'd love to see your results. And I'd also be interested to see the poly you choose. I'm letting this wood age a bit before adding poly or stain.

@bbtjerky 10 лет назад

Jeff Patterson Here is a link where you can see the box I built. it is a 2 part post. www.bbtjerky.com/jerky-talk-blog.html?entry=homemade-outside-firewood-box The box is completely water proof and used your video ideas for the basics to my outside firewood storage box. Great idea and thanks for the superb video

@bbtjerky 10 лет назад

This video came at the right time. I was looking to make a outside firewood storage box. I think with a few modifications to the bottom/floor, your idea's will work superbly. A far easier way and less costly than what I was designing. Great video

@HomeRepairTutor 10 лет назад

Thanks bbtjerky - keep me posted on your modifications. Specifically if you find a better way to waterproof the top. I'm not totally happy with the option I chose and am brainstorming as we speak. Never thought of using this for firewood but that's an awesome idea.

@bbtjerky 10 лет назад

Jeff Patterson The project is still a few weeks away. As far as waterproofing the top. I am thinking of using a product called Through The Roof. Have used this on many roof repairs and concrete. Brush on, clear expandable sealant, an you can paint it. Expensive but works. About $20 a quart. I would do a trial brush stroke on some scrap before doing the project.

@petem4194 10 лет назад

Cool video. Question did you waterproof the outside also?

@HomeRepairTutor 10 лет назад

Not yet Peter Mangold - I might wait a few months to let the wood dry out

@mailperson 7 лет назад

Spiders and other bugs love wood boxes.

@bigmacdaddy1234 6 лет назад

So the world should stop making wood boxes because of that? Really??

@MoranGuyVideos 7 лет назад

Hi , which brand of circular saw you are using in the video ? I just look for a new one

@HomeRepairTutor 7 лет назад

+Moran Guy it was a Skil saw, about $49

@MoranGuyVideos 7 лет назад

Thanks , I thought about the bosch GKS 190 which is about 150$ in the local hardware where I live.. unfortunately , skill saw is not available here....

@vstoversmiles2361 8 лет назад

Very nice chest. I am looking to make some window seating/storage for my fish tank pumps and supplies.This was very helpful.Thank you for posting.

@sicstringerman 7 лет назад

Jeff how well has the Flex Seal worked at keeping water out? Thanks

@HomeRepairTutor 7 лет назад

not well, very dissatisfied...I'm looking for an alternative. Do you have any recommendations?

@QuarterinchoffDIY 7 лет назад

Home Repair Tutor caulk to seal everything then several coats of exterior house paint or deck paint or a water sealant. slant the top a few degrees to let the water run off. this is one of my next projects. only my cushions are 50 long, 21 wide and 4 inches thick so needs to be bigger. going to double as a bench.

@Rick_Sanchez_C137_ 7 лет назад

Home Repair Tutor To seal naturally: 1 part bees wax, 1 part paraffin wax and 3 parts walnut oil(any vegetable oil will work but certain oils dry naturally and others stay tacky- naturally drying oils are rape seed, walnut, tung), heat in pot (a garage sale pot, not one of your wife's unless you want to be sleeping in that box for a couple weeks), mix well, apply while still warm liberally to exterior. *Reason I don't use Boiled Linseed Oil (BLO) is because of the chemical driers in the oil and the propensity for spontaneous combustion if a mistake is made (a woman in Oregon built a log cabin, and while using BLO to seal the wood the BLO on a cloth spontaneously combusted and the whole cabin burnt down - no need tempting fate with BLO). [search internet for Dorothy Ainsworth for stories about her cabin that she built, burnt down, then rebuilt].

Is the lumber pressure treated?

@j.andm.macaluso9176 9 лет назад

Going to try tomorrow. You make it look so easy, maybe a couple days for me to do. ;-)

@HomeRepairTutor 9 лет назад

J. and M. Macaluso awesome, keep me posted. It took me a weekend to do this project. So don't get discouraged :D

@HomeRepairTutor 10 лет назад

Thank you Ghada Abdo for watching my videos, I'm humbled :)

@safewaycart 10 лет назад

Does the lid offer protection against the rain?

@HomeRepairTutor 10 лет назад

I applied a rubberized spray coating to the underside safewaycart but it didn't work as well as I wanted. I'm currently looking for an alternative and cheap option for rain protection.

@safewaycart 10 лет назад

Jeff Patterson Ok, thank you. I would use a removable tarpaulin cover. Farewell from Italy.

@HomeRepairTutor 10 лет назад

That's really cool safewaycart - thanks for the suggestion, too
