Build a Bench From Old Train Sleepers Wood: Build A Chair Out Of Recycled Wood

The first half of the youtube.com/post/Ugkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGM… book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.

Finally, an instructional video on how to use the worst possible tools in the un-safest way possible

Is it just me, or is anyone else surprised that they still have all 10 fingers?

It's very pretty, but that backrest looks completely decorative; any pressure on it whatsoever and the whole bench and anyone on it are going to tip over.

Looks very unstable or is it just my opinion? Funny we didn’t see anyone trying it out. But it’s beautiful from a distance as long as you don’t sit on it. Lots of jagged edges.

Дизайн весьма спорный, учитывая очень узкие ножки и наличие спинки с большим вылетом.

The backrest ruined the piece for me 😉

Old Train wood ties are very toxic with Chriso, especially breathing fumes; So better to leave it alone.

This bench defies gravity in more ways than one. Didn't get the logic of such a distant backrest. Unless there's supposed to be a cushion. And the beam joining the feet at the bottom is rather badly eaten up. Honestly if two people sat in this it is very likely to tip over. That is why a lot of benches do not have backrests, so that the weight remains perpendicular, or the legs are much much wider so that backrest has perpendicular support as well. Anyway good filming. Tks,

Nice idea. I once used train sleepers too in my garden. But then I realized that old train sleepers are painted and soaked in a very dangerous poisen called Creosot, which can give you different kind of allergy and is surposed to be develloping cancer, if too much contact. And over the years it will pollute the soil around it. I my country it is no longe legal to use old train sleepers in public areas. You can use it for private constructions, but it is still dangerous and it does pollute.

Nice job, however safety first. Those railroad ties are soaked in creosote because they are intended for ground contact. Creosote is very toxic, not to be handled with the bare hands, and not to mention breathing, the dust of cut railroad tie soaked in creosote. spend a little money on some good wood or find a tree that has fallen down in someone’s yard. I’m sure they would donate it to you.

Гора родила мышь. Столько работы ради скамейки, которая выглядит никак

Aren't those old sleepers marinated in toxic chemicals?

Забавно смотреть, что бы сделать лавку из говно доски, нужно сначала иметь в арсенале все данные станки, потратить кучу времени и прочее, а на выходе получить просто лавку. Все просто. Возьму на заметку. За видео респект, ща идею ну нет совсем.

I thought those old railroad ties were covered in something toxic that is horrible for our skin and lungs? Did you run into any problems like that?

Все хорошо. Но со спинкой непонятно. Стоит ли а нее опереться и лавка опрокинется. Такое ощущение. А вообще КЛАСС!!! Увидел же в непримечательном куске дерева вещь.

За старания лайк, но как на этой лавке сидеть? А как спинкой пользоваться? Назад ведь можно упасть 🤔

railway track beams are very toxic☠

The most beautiful The most beautiful Dog🐶👍 Good hand owner Great heart Because He love 🐕🐶🦮🏃🏻‍♂️

This is a beautiful build, but when you weigh in the chance of hitting a nail or spike, combined with the creosote and repeated application of toxic weed killers sprayed on RR ties each and every year by railway maintenance crews, you might want to pass. This certainly does not detract from a beautiful project.
