DIY SOFA MADE OUT OF BAMBOO PLYWOOD + FREE PLANS
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Today I'll show you How To Build this Modern Sofa / Couch completely out of ¾” thick plywood. I used bamboo plywood but any furniture grade plywood will work. This is also a limited tools project and all cuts were made with just a circular saw and jigsaw.

The Simple Cushion Company
Launching The Simple Cushion Co. is something we've been working on for a long time and I'm happy to provide a product that I've wanted as a DIY'er / woodworker. Repurposing old cushions, using a mattress, or settling for scratchy outdoor furniture cushions have been the 'standard' for handmade sofas and daybeds, and custom upholstery is expensive. The goal for Simple Cushions is simple :) to enable makers to build a sofa, couch, or daybed without compromising on cushions. we've got multiple sizes and covers:

Impressed with these jigsaw half laps! 🔥
It’s very nice to see the recent use of bamboo. It looks great!
The edges look amazing after finish is applied. Really love the striped appearance.

Yeah, sometimes it takes a second to understand which cut is being made in a woodworking video. It’s not a huge deal, but for a visual person the context does help put the pieces together.
Ben uyeda, modern builds, four eyes, and michael alms videos are soooo satisfying.

The bamboo ply is great material. I made a platform bed, nightstands and built-in cabinets using bamboo plywood (and baltic birch for the hidden surfaces and drawer boxes. The edges have great detail for no extra work.

Love the sofa, did you have any problems cutting the bamboo ply? Did the edges fray and how did they look? What type of saw blade did you use? Sorry for all the questions, at over $275 a sheet I want to make sure the cut edges are clean without chips, etc.
Nice. Cushion site has some dead links btw but I’ll def order from it for my vintage Motorhome remodel

Its crazy how the fastest growing "tree" is more expensive than ones that take 100 years to grow.
This is a LOT nicer than Modern Builds' cargo crate of a sofa.
Great company idea, good price, someone should start a Canadian branch!

We agree!
How well would these cushions stand up outside, like for your exterior couch design?
Would those sofa cushions not slide around quite a bit on that bamboo frame. Maybe some ties on the back to attach to the backboard?
Wouldn't some velcro strips reduce the possibility of the cushions sliding?
Any chance y’all plan on releasing a chair cushion on the site? I’m wanting to build some MCM chairs and wanting to avoid getting out my wife’s sewing machine to make some cushions.
I'd like this for outside 🤔
I'm well on this DIY couch train. I just worry about the cushions slipping. Probably okay for adults, but i've got 4 grommets that do somersaults and flips on the couch, or watch movies upside hanging off the edges. Any thoughts on how to secure the cushions? a small cleat at the front? ties? velcro? Or maybe this just isn't the design for me. Love the work man, thanks for the vids.

Can this sofa be used for outdoors? Will the bamboo plywood hold up for NE outdoors temperatures?
Is it possible to buy the cushions in France ??? It is exactly what I want !
How much did it cost to build the wooden frame as far as material goes? I am looking to build something like this for a tent in my backyard, so you answer is going to help me decide to build it or buy ready made. Thanks in advance

Lol 😆 so not only do I need way more practice on my jigsaw skills but apparently I also need to utilize my shot jigger when working on projects.
ya, rilo kiley, nice.
Vegan leather!!! Yea!!
Wouldn't the cushions just slide off the sofa as you lean back? I guess you could put in some front strips to stop this from happening, or something the connects to the bottom of the cushion without sacrificing comfort.
Hi Ben, I'm one of Mike's subscribers thought I'd pop over
Hi there! There is a problem with the link to Simple Cushion Company.

Velcro the cushion to the Bamboo base so that your cushions won't slip.
Nice! But you know bamboo is acctually not wood. I know, i know. Smartass. Great build and really liking this bamboo plywoo... hmmmm... ply material?

How about cushions made out of Hemp canvas
cushions are the difficult part, indeed. Me and my wife made our own sofa. My design, my woodworking. she made the cushions. It cost about $250 for decent quality material (stuffing, batting, fabric, ect).wood was probably $150. redesigned/fixed things 3 times to get right. Took probably a combined 40hrs of work. Not an easy task to make something that's comfortable, good quality, and good looking.
How much are you paying for each sheet of bamboo plywood? I'm seeing over $200 / 3/4" panel, does that sounds right? The edges are very interesting. Much more of a high end look than normal plywood. It's beautiful wood, but woof, that price. All in with the cushions you are about $700 on materials, right?
is there a video on your french cleat wall showing

more expensive but varies dependingon how many sheets you buy. I have paid between $140-$220. that's a lot but with sanded pine plywood at $64 a sheet it doesn't seem as bad to me.

I called them: they said ~$275/sheet + shipping. The 1/2” was a little bit cheaper.
the 2x4s you used under the plywood doing the rip cut costs more than the plywood itself.

Why not single check things? Some ties on those cushions to keep them on the board would really help

Why is there a seam on the front of all of the cushions? 👎
