Very excited to have this done! I forgot to mention, the 1in foam I used is not that great! 2in thick foam minimum IMO. I have plans here if you like more info on the bench build gumroad.com/diycreators. The next video for this series is the dipping attachment.

FYI - professional upholsterers always start in the middle of each side then work towards the ends.

I was thinking maybe that 1 inch foam wasn't thick enough but yes definitely the two inch. Great job overall!

I am a fan of you Glen, I enjoyed your video. Yeah after sometime the 1in thick foam is going to be harmful, thanks for the info. I started my channel though we don't have enough woodworking supplies here in the middle East but I love it cuZ of you and other KZreadrs. Thanks for sharing

i watcha lot of woodworking vids. Most people have tons of equipment , fancy extruded aluminum jigs, pristine workshops. Your videos are a breath of fresh air, showing you can do things by hand with local products. It's really inspiring and makes me really want to go out and actually make these projects. Thanks for the great vids

Man, you have really upped your production values from the "where I am" to the workout compilation. Really cool.

Yesss. My favorite DIY youtuber is back😀😀 (btw you should make an house tour , i would love to see you house and your creations)

You leveled up on your studio lighting and backdrop for this one...looks awesome

Thanks, bro, not sure I upped it. Most of this I've been using for a while now.

I’m a personal trainer and most of my clients are women who can’t reach the floor on a standard bench. Rogue makes a short bench at 15” but it’s $300! You’ve inspired me to use all my scrap wood to build my own bench to my specifications. The pad is the most troublesome part 🤔

Good job Glen, it came out awesome. I love to see your “mistakes”, and fixes to the mistakes, as it reminds me there is always a solution to make it work out alright.

If you ever have the upholstery job to do again, leave the vinyl in the sun for a short time. It's a lot easier to work with when it's hot and when it cools it shrinks a tiny bit and makes things tighter.

Another option for the cushion on the bench would be a yoga mat. A show on discovery UK layered one with glue then shaped it for a motorcycle. I think it would work really well on this. Good job!

You go over to this guy's house and ask him "Show me something you have built." He answers "Yes"

Looks at house

I have been a joiner for 5 years and have trained for 34 years. I have my own workshop and gym, but time to upgrade my beaten up bench. I have looked on KZread past few months and yours is by far the best looking and best built bench on line. Should be proud of yourself, this is the one I may make but make it incline to.

I like your''where i'm at '' input in the video illustrating the exact part you working on in highlight,well done overall thanks for the share

One of the best DIY channels I've ever seen. Great stuff, with clear instructions and great step-by-step shots.

I got to thank you. I been watching your videos for a long time. Last week I got a chop saw, table saw, air compressor, brad nailer, some glue and bunch of clamps. Now; I have some experience with wood work but little did I know.... on Saturday I built my first project. It was a radiator cover. And I’m telling you! when my wife walked into the garage and saw all those clamps me working the wood.... by the time the cover was done she worked the wood more then me, if you know what I mean. Thanks

just discovered this gem of a channel. 1st step buy sandpaper and wood glue, then binge every video. keep it up sir.

Watching this as I finished building my new Marcy SB-350 bench. Great job bud! Greatest builder ever!

your commitment to craftsmanship is commendable, easiest sub of the year

Just discovered your videos this morning. I love your work. I've watched your gym series, we are a small gym owners (just starting), and your concrete outdoor bench, floating indoor bench and your concrete fire pit. What I love is your eye for detail, the finished quality of your projects and your detailed instructions. I've been wishing for someone like you and your videos for a very long time. You are fearless and creative. I'm excited to follow you on your building journey and be inspired.

Great way to add the illustrations as you build! That makes soooo much sense!

This series is just awesome 👌👌

Clever design. Your a great teacher. Very well explained. Thank You

These videos are made with so much heart

Glen..... you are the man!!! I came here to look at doing a new stronger bench for the one I purchased but did not hold up. I then noticed all the other stuff you built and I am TOTALLY insiped and impressed. I shared with my wife and we were both glued to your channel. You have some GREAT tips and you humbly reveal the challenges you expereince as well. Keep up the good work. We will be watching. Thank you for putting all this out. 👍

This is my new favorite video of yours. No one dose it better than you. thanks for the inspiration my friend

The best looking DIY workout bench on youtube. Awesome bench!! This will be the design I go with when I'm ready to build the workout space. Thanks for all the great DIY videos!

One of the best looking diy benches I've seen on youtube. Subbed.

Nice! This whole home gym build is amazing, you're a very talented woodworker, and that leather and foam turned out brilliantly. If anyone was thinking of building a home gym, so watch this video series first!

Love your projects along with your videos that incorporates great production and clear explanations. The "where I'm at" feature is particularly good. One of the things I like best is that you're open as to what didn't come out right and your workaround fixes. Good stuff all around!

You deserve your 2.26 mil subscribers. The work, the dedication. Just Great🙌

Love seeing and supporting a black DIY style creator!!!

Best looking workout bench I’ve seen! Can’t wait to build mine. You’ve been blessed with a great talent.

Appreciate throwing in the handsaw as not everyone trying to diy a home gym has all the tools that make the job easier. Awesome video by the way! Saw the power rack video as well, very cool build.

Really enjoyed this, thank you. Love the way you talk about your learnings on the project, things that didn't go 100% on reflection. Very honest, and very helpful.

Dude's an absolute perfectionist!Got feeling i should build my own set-up at home...RESPECT

You made a really nice job of the work out station and the bench. I’m impressed with your craftsmanship. Kudos 👍

Very nice, very nice. Love the woodworking. You are very good at it.

Leveling feet are good because not many floors are even either! Love you style. Good work!

I love that everything needed is in the description.

Yes! So excited for this project. Brilliant builds, great content, full of awesome tips and advice - keep it up! Always appreciated

Outstanding! Very well done video. I really love the way you put inserts and overlays in the video to show where you're at in the total project, and that you used readily available materials and tools.

10:00 A trick I learned from stretching paintings, is to work from the middle of an edge outside. That way you wont end up with creases as quickly.

“I’m looking forward to getting better at this” is my new most favorite quote 😂

Wow nice looking bench. Love the contrast

The best looking GYM bench I've seen thus far. You are very creative with woodworking. Keep it up great video.

Hi great vid and very useful. Regarding folding the material on the corners of the bench, a heat gun to heat the leatherwould help in moulding it around the corners to eliminate most creases. Ones that remain are minimal. Then it can be stapled. Ive had a similar problem recently and this method of heating it before folding it over really helped.

Your creativity inspires me

You got crazy talent. Good shit bro. Im buying my 2nd house and i want to make an apartment in the basement and im learning a lot through your channel

We appreciate you continuing these home gym series especially given current conditions. I would be interested in purchasing plans if you can incorporate a Cable Pulley System into the Power Rack.

What an absolute beauty!

To cover rounded ends, pull and staple the middle of the corner then bring the sides in like an envelope. Take off the excess in the rounded shape and secure.

I've following your channel for while and just wanted to drop a and say you do amazing work! This is one of my favourite DIY channels!

This is very creative and he can use whatever he has on hand like disposable cup 👍💪

You make nice and creative furniture and a excellent teacher.

wow - amazing workmanship

Very nice and clean looking bench. Outstanding presentation. You can also use a heat gun or hair dryer to soften the vinyl around the round corners, it helps the elasticity of the materrial to shape into place before staples.

I love making cushions for all my stuff, even though I’m not amazing at it, I love your channel and it inspired me to make one, but it’ll never be as good as yours!

always enjoy your builds

I probably will never make this since I don't have the equipment but I love watching these!

What a beautiful design. Well engineered and fabricated too! Mahalo for sharing! : )

Great Job Brotha Glen. You did this very well and it looks solid and well thought out. Thank you for putting this content together brotha.

Very good wood work keep it up Mike

You are awesome 👌🏾 I'm sending this to my daughter

AMAZING 😉!!!

WHOS THE BEST?!? Awesome!!!Thanks for share Man...fan from Brazil

Yes! Yes! Yes! Well done Glen! I'm planning to do this too. I'm trying to figure out how to make it adjustable to an incline, but your base plan is awesome!

Damn my dude you did it again, looks awesome. Love the accent colors.

You inspire me to be a better creator. I love your videos, your skills and style. Most of all I love how simple you explain things and show every step of the way. Keep building dude!

a very nice build! When or if I build this I'd go with a 2" solid oak or equivalent hardwood bench top. A thick, non-padded type of bench top maximizes power transmission between the floor, the bench, you and the barbell.

Wow Glen you really put style into your builds. I'll be checking your channel frequently

great job for a first time! learning from this

You make a lot of cool projects.

Love to see you do a dip station

for a first upholstery project this came out great!

Absolutely perfect Glenn!

I love this! Great job bro! Keep doing what you're doing please

The only tools i've got are a handsaw, a drill, and your basic stuff like screwdrivers/cutters and so on. I can only dream about making something like this.

Love your videos. Glad to see your channel grow so quickly from just a few years ago. BTW you should adjust your bandsaw guide wheels.. that'll help prevent the blade drift you were seeing during the arch cuts. A sharp blade could also help. There's plenty of videos on YT for this.

Sei bravissimo ! Come si dice da noi in Italia , hai una marcia in più. Grande

Excellent job! Excellent tutorial!!!

Nice job Glen!
