Introduction: Wood Garden Sofa With VIDEO
Summer is really my favourite time of year, so to spend much time outdoors we created an own garden sofa. It's not only easy but also cheap. ;)Check and enjoy it!
VIDEO is here:
Step 1:
measure
8x 60cm (23,6in) timbers for the sides and
4x 100cm (39,4in) for seat & back
Step 2:
sawing
this was the very first time to use mitre saw...I loooove it sooo much, so easy and so fast, there's no words... :)
Step 3:
mark
the places of hidden screws firstly on the inner side of legs
then on the outside of legs as well (- it means 2x3 60cm (23,6in) timbers)
Step 4:
drill
the holes of hidden screws with an undecover jig set
Step 5:
fit
them together
Step 6:
use
woodglue & dowels to hide the holes
then
saw
overhanging parts with Japanese saw and
sand
the surface a bit to remove splinters
Step 7:
fix
corner fixing brackets to both sides of 4x100cm (39,4in) timbers - seat & back
Step 8:
join
the parts of the seat to the sides of sofa
Step 9:
stain work
we use a colourless outdoor stain for protect the furniture from sun, water and extreme temperatures
