From A Futon To A Yard Bench Part 2

This is part two of converting an old pine futon frame to a yard bench.
I could not find any other need for this wood except use it for firewood....hell NO I will not do that, not with that good one inch thick pine.
So I built a large out door bench out of it.

thanks for the video. I, also don't have much money and "adopt" what people discard..redo them and use them. My brother made a nasty comment that none of my furniture matches..but I don't care. I did it myself and the furniture has a home.

@Parmesana, Yes I know what you mean, alot of our stuff don't match either, who the hell cares, if they don't like it they can leave.

I was brought up poor and we took pride in what we had, if the item is broken and could be fixed, we fixed it.

Today they make junk out of press board and particle board and all you can do is toss it when it breaks.

Hi Bill,

Would like to see a video about your econoline that's in the background. I'm currently rebuilding a '78.

Good videos.. I enjoy them.

Hi Winchno, That is my wifes 1990 Econoline, it needs body work, but as all old cars I have had, it rusts out no matter what I do.

I do have an Econoline video on my channel, back in 1978 I customised a 1971 Econoline, check out the video.

That is really well made, great job Bill!

Wish i was that good at wood work, when ever i build something out of wood it comes out looking like it got run over......

Hi Carlos, I was not always good at building things, when I was a kid I built a play house and it would fall down...ha ha.

The one thing good about getting OLD is you get better doing things with age.....Well on most things anyway.

Thanks for stopping by.
