How to Make a Double Chair Bench | DIY Patio Furniture

How to build a double chair bench. Free working plans for the DIY bench are available on DIYPETE.com. Pete shows step by step how to make the patio furniture. For more info, project photos, and downloadable plans check out: http://www.diypete.com/how-to-build-a-double-chair-bench-with-table-free-plans/ Download Plans: https://gumroad.com/l/doublechairbench If you are wanting to build great looking chairs for your patio you’ve come to the right place. I bought a home late last year and didn’t have any patio furniture whatsoever. My dad had built a beautiful piece for their home and so I credit him with design help and the inspiration to build my own. This setup is perfect for enjoying a relaxing evening out on the deck with friends or family. I built my chairs out of cedar because cedar does not rot and stands up against the outdoor elements quite well. You can use pine as long as it is painted or coated with a thick finish of poly. Make Your Cuts Cut each piece on your miter saw. For all angles in this project, set the saw to 15 degrees. If you don’t have a miter saw you can find one here. I use a Dewalt 12″ miter saw for all of my projects. Use a jigsaw to cut out the notch on the two front legs. The 2×6 piece will eventually rest in the notch. Measure 9 1/2 inches up from the bottom of the 2×4 front leg and mark. Measure 1 1/2″ back (depth). Then measure from your nine inch mark up 5 1/2″ and make one more mark. Connect the lines and cut out your notch on both pieces. Next, grab a role of tape to make your rounded corners for the arms and back supports. Do a rounded corner for the two outside armrests, and for both outside pieces of the table top. Create rounded corners for the top of the backrest supports as well(Part H). Cut with a jigsaw and use an orbital sander to smooth the edges. Check out photos in later parts of the project to see the rounded edges. Assemble Both Sides As shown in the video, attach the front and rear leg together on the top with the arm support 2×4. Measure 11″ back from the rear of the front leg and put a mark. Then line up the rear leg so that the 15 degree angle sits flush with the arm support. Attach with 2 1/2″ Deck Screws. Use the star (torx) deck screws instead of philips because they are much easier to use and don’t strip. Only attach the two legs to the arm support in this step. We’ll get to the lower cross support later. Measure 11 inches from the back of the front leg to the front of the back leg. Flush it up with the horizontal 2×4 and attach with 3 screws. Attach each cross support. For the middle 2 you can drive 2 screws in from the front side. (Through the 2×6 and into the cross support.). To attach the rear side of the support drill a pilot hole through the side of the cross support at an angle down into the rear support. It will keep it in place and later steps will solidify the joint. Attach Back Supports Fasten to the sides with 2.5″ screws. Flush up the bottom with the 15 degree angle. The upper support arm bottom corner will be flush with the back side of the backrest support. Attach Chair and Backrest 1×4 Wooden Slats Attach the front slat so that it hangs over the front 2×6 by 3/4″. Then attach the rear slat so it touches the two backrest supports. Attach the remaining 3 slats and space them evenly apart. (About 1/4 or so). These boards are 20.5″ wide. Next, attach the backrest slats. These boards are 19″ wide. Attach the top board first to help square up the backrest supports. Then attach the bottom slat. Finally, attach the remaining boards and space evenly. Fill Screw Holes Fill all the screw holes with wood putty. The screws need to be countersunk in order to fill them. Apply Finish I like to use Minwax Spar Urethane. It enhances the natural beauty of cedar and protect the wood against the outdoor elements. Apply 2 coats of Urethane with a brush. Let the second coat dry completely (6-12 hours), then lightly sand the armrests, table, and areas you come in contact with when sitting (chair slats). This light sanding with 220 grit paper will remove any dust particles that settled in the first coat. Next, take a clean cloth and wipe a thin coat of poly on all the areas you sanded. This will give you a nice smooth finish. Once dry, enjoy your new furniture and have a barbecue! ---- Looking for more DIY videos? Be sure to check out our channel and subscribe for updates!

Tips on Working with Construction Lumber

In my last article, I discussed big box store construction lumber (SYP – Southern yellow pine) and its use in furniture. I’ve found that it’s cheap, high in moisture and needs consideration in selection and prep. Working with construction lumber is a unique experience and a great learning material. Southern yellow pine typically has wide growth rings (which means it grows fast) and has some of the hardest and the softest grain imaginable. This bipolar personality of hard and soft wood is the root of its working personality. The transition between the two densities causes it to split and splinter easily. The hard late growth will destroy blade edges and the soft early growth will crumble under anything but the sharpest of tools.

You have two options with chisel edges while working with SYP. Use a steep angle for durability but risk crushed fibers, or lower the angle at the risk of crumbled blade edges. I’m of the opinion that it’s easier to sharpen a blade than repair crushed fibers, so I grind my chisels to a lower angle for SYP and keep a strop or stone nearby. I don’t change the angle of my plane blades, but I do change how they are used. When flattening boards (or removing just enough to run them through a planer) I angle my plane during cross-grain work to go with the grain a bit. Going straight across with a deep camber can cause splits to run. End grain is cut with a heavy skew to lower the perceived angle of the blade and keep the durability of a standard bevel angle. Smoothing, on the other hand, is a pure delight, as the shavings are fluffy and transparent, as long as you go with the grain. Spelch on the back side of a cut with a handsaw can be an issue. Stealing an idea from the power tool world I’ve found a little blue tape and then scoring the line almost eliminates the problem. Also, over-sanding with padded sandpaper or foam backing creates undulations as the soft wood wears off faster than the hard. While this effect is often utilized for a weathered look via media blasting, avoid oversanding if you want your furniture smooth to the touch. Touch is also the reason gentle round-overs are better than bevels because the edge grain can catch on something sharp and rip off a splinter or split. A round-over may minimize this chance, and sanded repairs will be less noticeable. All this makes it sound like SYP is horrendous as a furniture-grade material but think of this: How good will you be with hardwoods after mastering this demon? It’s a great learning wood. –Shawn Graham  Source link Click to Post

Simple and Fast Rabbeted Drawers: Hi, I'm David and I Break Things

I wouldn’t call it reckless, but I tend to push, pull and slam things a little harder than I should. I’d like to blame my father who operated on an “I can fix anything” mentality that gave him the leeway to be overly rough while working on cars and around the house, but really, I just enjoy making loud noises and the efficiency of tossing things across the room. With that said, I was sharpening one of my plane irons in the Popular Woodworking shop when I decided to have a look through the drawers below our sharpening station. In the six months that I’ve worked here, I’ve learned that there are marvelous goodies hiding in every nook and cranny of this shop. So I made my way down the set of drawers, open-slam, open-slam, open-crack. While opening the third drawer down the hardboard bottom fell out of its dado and I became the guy that broke the sharpening station drawer. Judging by the construction of the drawer, I doubt it was made by the Popular Woodworking staff – there’s a distinct lack of dovetails. So I didn’t feel too bad about breaking the drawer, but I did feel compelled to fix it. So I grabbed Jacob Motz, one of our video guys, downloaded one of our most popular drawer building articles, and made a video on how to build a simple rabbeted drawer. I used 1/2″ plywood for the sides and bottom and reused the hardware from the previous drawer. I imagine this would have been a 20-minute fix if we hadn’t been filming. You can find the article I followed here and the video we made is embedded below. Am I the only one that likes to slam things?  – David Lyell  p.s. Yes, I had a 50/50 chance of putting the front of the drawer on so that the knobs would line up and I failed. Who would have guessed that they were almost an inch off center?!

Combustible dust on back burner for 2016?

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is not likely to push forward on a comprehensive combustible dust standard in 2016 due to the complexity of the hazard and an already robust regulatory agenda, according to a report by Brian Dabbs in Bloomberg BNA. OSHA had earlier targeted August for initiating a Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA) review on combustible dust in the fall 2015 regulatory agenda, but so far the agency hasn’t indicated a commitment to advancing the rulemaking. According to the Bloomberg BNA report, OSHA officials haven't attended National Fire Protection Association meetings on combustible dust standards-making for at least 18 months. NFPA standards are widely viewed as industry benchmarks for dust deflagration and explosion. OSHA continues to enforce a set of specific industrywide and sector-specific standards that may be used to cite combustible dust hazards, ranging from surface safeguards to mandates for grain handling facilities. The agency released an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking on combustible dust in late 2009, and held meetings for the ensuing several months. But following the consultations, the agency hasn't moved forward. OSHA didn't comment on a timetable for combustible dust rulemaking in 2016 or its collaboration with industry to craft a template for a proposal. Proposed rules often are released following the completion of the SBREFA process. OSHA defines combustible dust as “all combustible particulate solids of any size, shape or chemical composition that could present a fire or deflagration hazard when suspended in air or other oxidizing medium.” Those solids include wood, sugar, fertilizer, dried blood, textiles, metals and many others. Combustible dust poses risks in virtually all manufacturing sectors. The complexity of a combustible dust rulemaking may have caught OSHA somewhat by surprise, said Jess McCluer, National Grain and Feed Association director of safety and regulatory affairs. “This does not appear to be a priority for OSHA like it once was,” said McCluer in a Jan. 11 interview with Bloomberg BNA. “It did appear to be a priority at the beginning of the administration, but after understanding the complexity it seems to have moved to the side. And other issues have moved to the top of the priority list.” The guidance advises OSHA inspectors on how to cite combustible dust accumulations, using an algorithm that incorporates accumulation height and density, as well as covered surface space. For years, OSHA has relied on a 1/32-inch basis for citation. That guidance supplements the agency's Combustible Dust National Emphasis Program, reissued in 2008. OSHA's Combustible Dust National Emphasis Program guidance is available at https://www.osha.gov/OshDoc/Directive_pdf/CPL_03-00-008.pdf. Click to Post

DETROIT, Mich. - This year’s Executive Briefing Conference offers a wide range of technical and management briefings in addition to the featured speakers and plant tours. EBC will be held in Detroit April 23 to 25.

LEARN MORE & REGISTER The briefings include Rick Siewert of Siewert Cabinet & Fixture Manufacturing Inc. speaking on “Wood From the Hood.” Siewert’s innovative thinking led him to co-found a new community-focused business in 2008 that reclaims discarded trees from local urban neighborhoods to create high-quality wood products and lumber. Siewert will discuss not only his inspiration, but all aspects of manufacturing, including raw materials acquisition, sawing and drying of green lumber, production of retail product line, production of custom products, and new product development. Protecting Your Production Flow is the subject of a briefing by Richard Diller of StediWatt. When something goes wrong, whether a sudden storm, disaster, or absent personnel, getting a company back up and running as quickly as possible is critical. Make sure the right tools are in place to protect investments in hardware, machinery, and processes, and discover technology that can help. Richard Diller is president and CEO of Advanced Electronics Systems Inc., where he oversees manufacturing and marketing operations of the StediWatt System. This applied technology is designed to protect sensitive electronics from the harmful effects of power surges, spikes, brownouts, blackouts, electrical pollution, and even catastrophic lightning strikes.

Blame John Ratzenberger for Woodstock

You can blame John Ratzenberger for the decline in technical education and people going into manufacturing and trade jobs. Why?  He helped build the stage at the 1969 Woodstock music festival in upstate New York. In the AWFS Fair Keynote Presentation, Ratzenberger told the audience about many experiences in his childhood that led him to appreciate the value of work, and of manufacturing. And he offered his views of how to improve the number of people going into good-paying trade and manufacturing jobs. “If you want a kid to have self-esteem, have them build something,” he said. Before his acting career and a spot on the barstool in the television series Cheers, Ratzenberger also worked as a carpenter in England and worked as a framer. He is committed to American manufacturing and is the founder of the planned American Museum of Manufacturing in Bridgeport, Connecticut. He also produced and starred in the Travel Channel series, John Ratzenberger’s Made in America. “We’ve been taught to look down on someone who knows how to work with tools,” he told the AWFS Fair audience. “We should not force someone to go to college instead of letting them do something they might love.” For the record, Ratzenberger apologized for his role in Woodstock.
