Wow. Simplicity at its best, Period. Totally functional and incredibly affordable. I just purchased my first ever house. Having zero , ( ZERO) Furniture, this is the project for me. As well, the lumber can easily be transported in a normal car or suv with fold down seats. I do own a lathe, so turning the legs will be a new challenge. Well done, great well lit video with good audio.

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection kzread.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

Thank you, thank you! I'm gearing up to do a full sectional with built in corner table, bumper and chase. This gave me so many ideas and tips. Much gratitude.

Looking good, Mike! I know the feeling of putting off projects that intimidate you. Sometimes you just gotta pulled the trigger and be prepared to fail and learn if needed. Good job!

If you use a non slip mat instead you could flip the cushion when you want to

I was amazed when you stood on it. Modern glue is mindblowing.

Mrs. Gabbert has one of these on my video list. You did a good job on both the half laps and the dowel joints. You're on the right track, do whatever you gotta do with what you have, make it happen and learn from it. Very cool video.

Great design, the final result was awesome

The video is 7yrs old yet your sofa is so modern. I would love to have it in Japandi project. Lots of love from Brazil. ❤😮

If you don't have a biscuit joiner and biscuits and want to do this project you can also use a drill and some dowels for the main board at the bottom.

I liked this a lot because it is simple, useful, relatively inexpensive, and a weekend project! I'm going to build one too!

This was so awesome! I just found you while I was looking for a video on how to build something close to what I was looking at (it’s called a dreamer couch). And as informative and easy as you made this look, I was wondering why we couldn’t just glue two big pieces of plywood together for the seat instead of glueing all of those pieces?

Muito lindo, amei... embora nn entenda nada que você falou kkkk ..mas, claro que certamente 90% é tutorial .. Parabéns pelo trabalho ficou muito legal.

Love your videos. Thinking about starting a project soon.

Adding some tufting or buttons could kick the design up a notch. Really love it.

He didn’t design this. He copied a design by George Nelson from 1950. You can find it if you search “George Nelson daybed.”

That's cool you are from OKC! I grew up around 70 miles south of there. A small town called Elgin. Nice builds by the way.

Dang, I actually had those legs on a table - wobbliest table ever for years. I wish that I had your solution - just cut off the ends. Beast.

Sweet piece Mike! Really enjoyed your commentary about the project and the issue you had with the legs at their original length. Appreciate you answering my emails during the week too! Keep up the awesome work

Great job, I just found your channel and subscribed. I do a lot of work with construction grade lumber and love to see this type of stuff made form inexpensive material. Big fan of the modern style. When gluing up the panel for the base, try using a caul across the top on both ends. I have found this really helps keep the boards straight and flat. Between that and the biscuits, you can really cut down on your sanding time. I make mine myself from 2x4's. Keep up the good work.
