Timelapse of building a simple greenhouse bench 

Special thanks to everyone on the Member Zone! Here's some plans for you: members.gosforthhandyman.com/greenhouse-bench-plans/ SketchUp mini course: members.gosforthhandyman.com/sketchup-tutorial-beginners/

Good job Andy . There is nothing "Heath Robinson" about that project

This is so inspiring! It's amazing to see how a few pieces of wood can be transformed into a practical piece of garden furniture.

Love you carefully using a square to check everything, despite the "If it looks straight it is straight" sign staring on disapprovingly in the background! Edit: Also, slight audio desync at 9 minutes in. Only mentioning because I've been belatedly binging your old podcast and you said you sometimes marvel at what you can get away with without us noticing!

I thought, at the start, you're making a bench for a weed! Glad you found that one out. Good bench and I like the adjustable feet idea. Greenhouse floors can often end up quite wet, watering plants, watering the slabs to reduce the temp on hot days so keeping the timber above it is always good.

Nice little build Andy....thanks a bundle, coz now I have to make one for the wife.😭

Well done Andy good job lad 👍🏻

Wonderful bench. You will get many years of use out of it. Love your videos. 😊

Ah man I’d love a big greenhouse like yours. Very sad middle aged goal I know. 😂

I so envy you having a proper greenhouse and space for it I am inspired by it hoping to create a similar design very soon. I love the bench so multi pupose as well.

Hi Andy, great build for the greenhouse for your little plant, the planting bench looks good and solid, probably be a nice place for Chicken to have a nap in the summer months ,and after all that work your plant is invasive species. As always full of good tips and ideas great video Take care

Love it. Simples!

Hi Andy. Nicely done project , which will prove very useful when the growing season starts to kick in . You definitely prove what can be achieved in a relatively small workshop , and as you showed at the end keeping everything tidy is a must in your circumstances . I liked the stop block idea simple but very effective , so I shall be using your method next time I need lots of repetitive cuts on the miter saw . Thanks again and best wishes and kind regards to you both . 😀👍

Simply lovely !

Tis a thing of beauty

Nice project - great result! Cheers for the video.

This looks really cool!! Amazing work and just great size of the bench👍✨ Best wishes from Japan.

Great video as always.

Amazed you didn't smash any glass in the greenhouse, I know I would have!

Fab looking bench

Nice job well done where did you get the leg adjusters

Love it, Andy, and all that for a weed 😂. Take care yourself 🌞

A lovley build.

Great job Andy. Nice relaxing guitar music in the background.👍

Nice bench, I rolled over at the end 🤣🤣

Brilliant Andy thank you. There should be more people doing this , instead of asking for Amazon links to buy one. Your cats are not supervising you properly 😂 ours watch my every move when im doing something 😂😂

I was wondering why you'd have a weed in a pot in a greenhouse :D Thanks for the help putting the bench on it's spot Mrs Mac!

That’s a nice bench Andy,I think it would be a good idea to use a treatment on the bench so you can give it a wipe down to keep the hygiene up. Thanks for the video.👍👍

My favourite sort of project Andy, but I'm not organised enough to plan it by computer, a few back of the envelope scribbles at best ! When you took it back to the workshop I thought I hope Mrs Mac is around that's gonna weigh a ton now, and bless her there she was ! Isn't it bonkers that it would have been much cheaper for you to "plank" it out in CLS than 18x69mm PSE - projects like this are getting expensive in machined timber, I now use a lot of 4.8m roofing battens - not planed but much cheaper and generally pretty decent for things like this ! Btw, when you started off holding the pot of Willow Herb, I thought "He's gonna chuck that in the. burn !" but you made me wait ! Finally, Kudos to you Andy for prioritising the house and garden over a big fancy workshop, I know you've chosen to have a studio, but that is a compromised space for making anything of any size, I'm the same and rely on assembling outside which is tricky with our unpredictable weather !

A truly stunning piece of woodworking and something that I’m just about to embark upon, but can I just ask why, for a greenhouse, you didn’t use treated timber. Is it just a cost thing?

Hi Andy, been watching your vids for years. Thanks so much for all that you do, its been invaluable to me! Please can you leave a link to those adjustable leg supports, I cant seem to find them anywhere.

Aww im dyslexic so over the years with the help my dad and wonderful hubby after we moved a few times. Only have a small garden. Wish we had our beacon close size. 😪 But prices to do it all again a bit late in life too. Absolutely adore your videos. You're amazing and your wife bless you both x

Andy, for comparison do you have any idea how much the equivalent 'staging' would have been if you'd got it with the greenhouse? Off the top of my head I think £140 is relatively very good value for money.

Now you're doing the projects that you want to, not the projects that you have to! 👍😂

This is agreat, what a good spot for planting now! Where did you get the timber for this from? it actually looks straight! (also I agree a stain at some point would look great especially with the darker outside frame of the greenhouse)

👍👍

3 things: 1 I’m almost embarrassed to call myself a handyman after watching you work: range of skills, and competence. 2 for you and your misses to go through huge renovations and still be talking means you must both be in love. And 3 I love cats too. Intelligent people prefer cats :) Great videos!! Love this one!

Why did you move it into the green house, put on the lower spans, then move it back again? I assume you did that to get the level in-situ, but then later you put on adjustable legs?

Andy, nice job, but, You don't want to fix the bench down. The normal procedure is you use that bench in the winter for storing plants against the harsh winter. You remove it in the summer so you can fill the green house with tomato, cucumber and pepper plants in pots or growbags. Also its not a good idea to grow directly in the soil in a green house unless your going to dig out the soil and replace it every year or two as growling the same crops year on year in there will degrade the soil and harbor disease. Good luck and enjoy your first year with your green house

Haha, great one Andy! Hope you'll grow something better in there than that invasive plant 😄

Very nice 🙌🏽🧱👍🏽

hopefully that invasive species doesn't thrive and make a mess of your backyard haha anyhow really nice build! all the attention to building it smart is nice

Top tip, you have two addorable gods in your life, I would recommend putting a fine mesh or chicken wire at the back of the bench to prevent the lil darlings knocking your shiz over & breaking the G-house glass. Trust me, I'm servant to 10 of the sadistic vandals 🙂

Why no nail gun? ( thanks for the vid Andy)

The bottom shelf is too high, with any plants shaded from high sunlight and lacking height to grow. Suggest lowering it to 6 inches off the ground. Roofing laths (Roger's Timber are cheap) are light and ideal for making a shelf, yours being too heavy to move easily. Barretline Wood Protective Treatment (Toolstation) is good at protecting from water. The bench should also be at the back of the greenhouse so that it doesn't block sunlight to plants at the rear. Hope the greenhouse won't be shaded by all those bushes. Can't see any drainage in the base for water removal. Good luck with plants.

Don’t fully follow why you carried it out and then back in again to finish?

Plastic wrapped timber? Surely an environmental oxymoron?

Did you seriously just dump an invasive weed into the creek behind your house?

I can’t wait for you to realise it’s such a big waste of space in a greenhouse and you stick another bed down where it is and build a little bench at the back 😂
