Comment “bench” for the plans to build your own!

This bench build is great for beginners! And it goes perfectly under a window, at the end of a bed and even an entryway.

When I designed this bench, I wanted something practical where I could read and set my coffee down so I had to add the attached side table.

I made the back rest wavy, but if you just wanna make a bench without that you can just make it really simple.

Don’t forget to save and follow for more DIY furniture builds.

... Read moreMany people spend thousands on furniture, but building your own bench can be a rewarding and cost-effective alternative. This beginner-friendly bench design fits beautifully under a window or at the end of a bed, making it a versatile addition to any home. Incorporating an attached side table is a clever feature that enhances the bench's functionality, providing a handy spot to set down coffee or books while you relax. If you're new to woodworking, starting with this bench build is a smart choice due to its straightforward design. The wavy backrest adds a unique touch and visual interest, but beginners can easily omit this feature for a simpler build. Using basic tools and materials, you can customize the bench to fit your preferred size and style. For materials, inexpensive wood like pine or plywood works well and is easy to handle. Adding a coat of paint or stain can match your bench to your décor. Don't forget to sand carefully for a smooth finish that’s comfortable for seating. Incorporating this DIY bench into your home not only saves money but also offers a chance to develop woodworking skills and create a personalized piece of furniture. Sharing your progress and finished project in communities dedicated to #diyfurniture, #woodworking, and #FurnitureBuild can provide inspiration and support. If you’re interested, comment "bench" to access detailed plans and step-by-step instructions for building this charming and functional bench. Happy building and enjoy creating your own cozy spot at home!

I LOVE this movement because of how much it isolates the supporting leg’s glute/hamstring. If you struggle to “feel” RDL’s where you’re supposed to feel them, this exercise is FOR YOU. Trust me, you don’t have to go very heavy with these to feel them. I had been doing standard RDL’s and other s
