Garden Bench

Traditionally made of teak, these benches have long graced English parks and gardens, aging gracefully through years of use and weather. This version is made of cedar, but you could also use white oak, redwood or cypress.

Whatever wood you use, it’s a good idea to finish your bench with a waterproofer. This project uses traditional mortise-and-tenon construction for extra durability.

Normally, you might avoid this type of joinery in favor of easier methods, such as dowels or even drywall screws, but the superior strength of a mortise-and-tenon joint will ensure long-term sturdiness and is consistent with the bench’s classic design.

This project is perfect for learning this joint because cedar compresses easily, so it will fit together even if it’s not perfectly cut.

Other skills you will learn are face-gluing and making dowelled joints. Face-gluing the boards that make up this bench’s legs isn’t difficult; just follow the instructions.

Dowelling requires care and patience more than anything else. And after it’s assembled, you’ll learn more about applying and using finishes to enhance the wood’s natural beauty and ensure that it’s well-protected.

What People Say About Woodwork 101

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Came as advertised:

“I believe it is as valuable as a library full of woodworking books [...]. I began surfing through the member’s area and ended up in my workshop, building the coffee table. Very informative. Clear videos. Covers each project from start to finish beautifully.”

Danny

“If you are a professional woodworker, or just a hobbyist, this video vault is for you!!! Start to finish easy to follow and detailed to the last speck of sawdust. And although I was a little skeptical at first. I will say it’s great!”

Cip S. Texas

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Too much hype or not?

"I have received many messages in the past mentioning this video series. As such I was very skeptical. After getting access to the member’s area - instantly to my surprise - I watched the first two videos. To say that my skepticism was wrong is a bit too easy on me. The projects managed to surpass the hype that it has had, much to my surprise and happiness. I would recommend it to anyone looking to build things for his home or loved ones. One person found this helpful"

Phil F

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Woodwork101 - an opinion

“Woodwork101 is exactly what I have been looking for. I have purchased many guides and even video guides over the years and they just do not have what I have been looking for. Not to mention I paid well over $49 for just one video in the past. And these guys are giving over 1000 hours at that price. The videos are clear and concise. The explanations are simple and easy to follow. It is my video bible of woodworking projects. Get it… you will not be sorry!”
