How to Make a Curved Outdoor Garden Bench

How to make an outdoor curved garden bench

In video I show how to make an outdoor curved garden bench from 2x6 Western Red Cedar. The methods that I use are similar to the methods I use while building benches on the jobsite. This build can be done with a drill, circular saw, jigsaw, sanders and a router. I use a few more tools for this build because I can. But they’re not necessary. I built the entire bench from six 2”x6”x8’ and one 4”x4”x8’ cedar lumber. It can be build with 2-1/2” screw only if needed. At the time of this build (10/01/2018) the cost of the build was around $150.00
