How long are the cross braces for the seat and are those 2"x6"? Great video.
Sounds like it's time for a new saw ! Nice video
What where the legs made of was it 2×8 like the top or did u use 2×6?
Just built one today because of this video. That trick to get the angle for the support cleats attached to the cross frame is brilliant. I did it in 4 hours from scratch without even rewatching this. You guys rocks!
The pieces that make up the a-frame, are they 2×6 or 2×8?
Nice work from american's but we mexiCANS do it better without a customer complaining that you guys did the job wrong. but they still wanted the job lol.
Why is the legs 32 1/4 ? Why not 32 even!?
Amateur question but why glue it first?
Maaahhhhk the cross brace…
