Follow me on instagram for project updates: www.instagram....
The frame for the sofa is made out of 2x4s, 2x10s, and 3/4" sanded pine plywood from The Home Depot. The foam for the cushions was from: www.foambymail....
i ordered the following: Cushion, Lux Foam - High Quality WITH DACRON WRAP Dimensions: 3" x 24" x 66" and Dimensions: 3" x 18" x 66"
the leather come from Tandy Leather and was the most expensive part. I will show how to use canvas or an old blanket in a future video as a more affordable option.

Where is the PDF version with measurements? On the page there is only a link to the suppliers and to a concrete wine bar...

@JHA854 7 лет назад

The leather looks really good, I actually really like how the leather isn't perfectly pulled tight.

@HomeMadeModern 7 лет назад

yes the cushions came out great and we are excited to try more leather projects!

@tonpa8888 7 лет назад

Du you now Darbin Orvar?? She does a lot of leather things!! Hope this is helpfull!! Nice videos!! Keep on making them!!!

@marietheresreinke2828 7 лет назад

HomeMadeModern but leather is a part of an dead animal that got treatment to not rot. educate yourself about the suffering of sentient beeings getting killed for leather production

@emiliana1767 7 лет назад

HomeMadeModern maybe also fake leather? Dont want to be a buzzkill, i really love your channel and projects, but its really unnecessary to use animal skin as a cushion cover. There are plenty great and cheap options without someone have to die! Nontheless, its a beautiful project ♥️

What a lame comment.

@elijahkatsanis 7 лет назад

Ben you are like the Frank Lloyd Wright of this modern era! I believe people are going to be looking to your videos well into the next century and beyond for inspiration. Thank you for your awesome inspirational ideas! I would love to see your take on a tiny house.

@HomeMadeModern 7 лет назад

anyone see the bonus footage at the end? also i will be doing a Facebook live video about this project soon to answer questions and show it in more detail.

@WatchMeDIYIt 7 лет назад

HomeMadeModern great way to use the scraps!

@huzaifaabdullahi5273 7 лет назад

facebook live will be really amazing

@bryantreddy3288 7 лет назад

HomeMadeModern when is the LIVE steam

@bryantreddy3288 7 лет назад

HomeMadeModern hey can you tell me what app you use to make your plans. I am trying to convert my thoughts from my head to a computer systems

@HomeMadeModern 7 лет назад

probably this weekend but will end up posting the video afterwards to our 2nd youtube channel

@TheSteveAS 7 лет назад

Yes! Yes! This is exactly what I wanted to transition from our dining area to our living area. Instead of a sofa, I will use your design to create a banquette for the dining table, and then a desk area behind. So cool-looking with the "zig-zag" edge -- I could see painting that plywood edge a bright color to accentuate the shape even more. Thank you Ben for continuing to "open-source" your innovations!

here is an RU-vid playlist with the other DIY sofa projects we made: ru-vid.com/group/PL1hIfCnA2XelE0ejt0XSDTmXFXPD8aMKY

@97WarriorGrad 7 лет назад

Job well done you two! Seeing this reminds me of the "modern" homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright back in his day, when the idea was to make use of every available square inch of space; when furniture was organic, natural and stylish, and minimalism didn't have to mean bleak. Once again, job well done and highly inspirational!

@GreenShortzDIY 7 лет назад

Excellent dual purpose sofa. Love the addition of the side table. Worth sticking around to the end.

@Fixthisbuildthat 7 лет назад

Looking great, Ben! Such a cool design and dual use of space.

@athao214 7 лет назад

So incredibly innovative and modern! I'm excited to see more projects like this.

@HomeMadeModern 7 лет назад

thank you!

@richroc7 6 лет назад

Ben I am just amazed at how many awesome projects you have shown and thought of. I’m so glad that I seen you on Ask This Old House. Thank you for all that you do.

@MrDpoling 7 лет назад

I love multi-functional furniture! And the best part was the bonus arms at the end! Brilliant!

@Wordsnwood 7 лет назад

I am also quite impressed and intrigued by how you made the leather-wrapped cushions. Neat idea!

@clark2711 7 лет назад

This two in one sofa design with back table is so ingenious... You sir just earned a subscriber....

@0Jillarious0 7 лет назад

This is incredible! Thank you so much for this video! I love how you use tools that are available to low budget diy-ers like me who can't afford expensive carpentry equipment.

@mdbohica 7 лет назад

Ben, your furniture design skills are advancing rapidly. This is my favorite of yours this far!! Awesome work!

@grahamjefferson4854 7 лет назад

I'm always amazed by your projects but your recent works are a step above and beyond! I'll definitely be using your plans when I get my own place.

@reforzar 7 лет назад

I don't know how but you keep doing it. You keep killing it. Awesome design and execution.

@mimiteas 7 лет назад

Love this design! This would also be great for tiny apartments as the counter top could be used for eating.

@Kyle-uu4mr 7 лет назад

could totally put some velcro strips on the underside of the cushions and and plywood to make sure they stay in place too!! love the side table addition.

@huzaifaabdullahi5273 7 лет назад

your work have actually inspired me a lot to start my own workshop i feel really happy whenever you post sm here. any recommendations about the tools and equipments for someone who is trying to give it a shot? thanks.

@HomeMadeModern 7 лет назад

i will do a tool guide soon!

@eingoluq 7 лет назад

Meet too. I like your channel so much. good job on it's design language too. I'm looking to get a Ryobi set. how well do they hold up to more expensive brands like DeWALT?

@lolmaster91 7 лет назад

it's a really nice design, it inspired me to do something really alike, but with storage unit at the base

@RoyalCaoCao 7 лет назад

One of the best design yet, especially the mini table.

@woodscrew5612 7 лет назад

Ben that is awesome! You zigged when the other guys are zagging. You come out with some creative stuff!!

@eduhgraficx 7 лет назад

I love your projects. So insightful. Like I'm sure I will always do DIY furniture in the simplest most elegant way just like you do.

@Angelzeroel03 7 лет назад

this is absolutely functional, space saving and well made.

@MissSunshine666 7 лет назад

I just fall in love with this great table sofa. Mostly because of the table design. As soon as I get more room, this would be mine. thx

@GerBarne 7 лет назад

What a cool project. Looks great. Very surprised I haven't seen even one comment about how gorgeous Jessie is. I love her style with the mismatched Chucks. Very cool. 👌

@ajpnay4ever24 7 лет назад

I like how simple and good looking it came out. Nice video and piece of multifunctional furniture.

@ForwardGuidance 7 лет назад

Nice. I think for cold weather areas best to put it on legs and the study area in back accessed with bar stools, because low to the ground in cold weather areas is where the coldest air in the room resides.

@Donewithcounting 7 лет назад

Man I've been following you since you only had a few videos but this couch is one of my favorites! I like the idea someone else had of a video tour of your house with all you have done in it! Thanks! David

@willcookmakeup 7 лет назад

I absolutely love this idea. When I move into my own space I will definitely be trying this build

@nardettgbmwfitness 7 лет назад

do you have a video that shows a tour of your house. cause this is awesome

@emelineemeline9114 7 лет назад

I've never been so happy to see a channel sponsored before Home Depot is the perfect fit!

@illusory7862 7 лет назад

When/if I eventually get my own house you can bet a lot of money I'll be building most of my furniture with a ton of help from you guys.

@ShaunKirkwood 7 лет назад

The side table is genius!

@ryr1974 7 лет назад

I love it a DIY project that is, in fact, DIY in complexity and one that involves using very accessible tools. I might have used some nuts and bolts rather than screws. But I actually selected the video because I liked the design of the sofa and only realized it was a DIY tutorial after it started.

@jewelmartin5406 6 лет назад

A sectional like this would be awesome!

@therlux 7 лет назад

i've made this sofa and guys it's *great* ! ! ! but i only had particleboard laying around, painted the whole thing and waiting for it to dry.. ill link you pics tommorow :D

@izzyswan 7 лет назад

thats pretty slick guys! loved the bonus footage idea to!

@HomeMadeModern 7 лет назад

thanks izzy! yeah i got the idea from Marvel Movies!

@silvanatoma7464 6 лет назад

I Absolutely love this design and how easy you make it look to build! Was looking for a DIY sofa and your tutorial is by far the best! Thank you for this and good job guys!

@TrishTruitt 7 лет назад

Quite a cool design! And great video editing/production. The only improvements I might want would be arms (maybe ones that can also act as side tables or have storage like the add-on piece at the end - only higher) and a pull-out or flip-up storage under the seat. Great for a tiny space.

@antonmessina5304 7 лет назад

I just love the way you guys make your furniture!!! loving the blog too! congrats on that!!!

@kings5223 7 лет назад

Very cool design! I'm going to use elements of this sofa for the arm chair I am building.

@geoffjohnston1531 7 лет назад

Hi there. I think your channel is really cool with super ideas. Just curious as to why you use construction adhesive? Conventional wood glue should be considerably stronger, particularly over time where it won't degrade. Keep knocking out those videos. Love to see your take on a tool box/tote or a work bench. Good luck.

@corymcleod934 7 лет назад

I have the same question.

@lukenast5758 7 лет назад

My guess is he's getting paid to use it. Nothing wrong with that, but a good reason for him to use it. Otherwise I have no idea

@usako2621 7 лет назад

I love the design on this it's a great dual purpose couch.

@markustuori8019 7 лет назад

i suggest that you put wood panel under the foam. then roll leather over it and finish it with stapler. make sure you have kompressor of some sort that you can use powerful enough stapler.

@lovejay10 7 лет назад

I'm looking forward to a project for more of multipurpose furniture. Love this one too.

@GregsGarage 7 лет назад

Great design Ben and Jesse. I could see this being way cool in aluminum.

@verenamuller4183 7 лет назад

I love it! Great idea and functionality. Where is the button to like it 100 times? 😀

@user-hsb6Aknzue85d 7 лет назад

It's my first time seeing this zig zag concept and I really like how it's multipurpose great job!!

@pliktley1 6 лет назад

Gonna save this for when I move into my studio apartment :) there's not much space for both a sofa and a dining table and everyday work table so this is perfect.

@fnin 7 лет назад

I am never gonna do any of these but it's really interesting to see them come together

@gregthorne4292 7 лет назад

Looks great! This is probably my favorite build of yours so far.

@thefluxlife 7 лет назад

@isommallory9473 7 лет назад

I like the idea for this sofa. I could see the functional value for me. I may build it, with some slight modifications. Thanks for the idea.

@HomeMadeModern 7 лет назад

share some photos of it when you do! :)

@samyukgu369 7 лет назад

really simple and beautiful

@nourelrefaiphotography 7 лет назад

I truly love this, do you have a video that explain all the tools you use for the different processes from cutting to finishing the wood?! I'll try to find a workshop and learn.

@sammysamsam2992 5 лет назад

Your designs are so good! Binge watching now.

@stretch551 7 лет назад

@agee7777 7 лет назад

nice! i was thinking you could use ply for the whole project by cutting out the components and gluing them together where needed

@zach3664 7 лет назад

That is so fantastic seeing this i really want to do this with my place and i wasnt sure how to do the cushions but that was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@prudiiarca 7 лет назад

You definitely need to make a room tour in the future. I wonder how all your amazing products look side by side in an apartement...

@Morten163 7 лет назад

You think there's an option to extend the desk part further making it a complete computer desk? I love that video and your ideas in general! Great job

@voidos8490 6 лет назад

what a great idea. that would work great in a small apartment with no room for a table.

@soonerterp 6 лет назад

Cool sofa! I want to build something like this to repurpose a 6" long futon pad ... that back panel that can be used as a desk-y thing -- cool idea: Put one of those desk hubs in it with a couple of outlets and USB ports ...
