Making a Floating Banquette - Full Build Video

Looks, Sharp - Beautiful - Functional - - - well, well done! And thanks for sharing.

Very nice, congrats! Now go sit in the corner!

👋👍

There is no greater love than the love John has for construction adhesive.

Nice and beautiful demo of scribing/fitting. My dad used to be a carpenter and he was good at projects like this, and this brought him to mind. Enjoyed, thanks!

I want see a picture with you seated there

Another awesome project from "the man." Thanks for sharing

I am planning on doing something similar for my kitchen sink. I will be using 2x material with pocket screws. The sink will be in the corner so I am thinking I will add additional support, painted dark to make it less visible. The one side will fit in a 6' wide space so it will be supported on both ends. It will be "L" shaped with the short leg possibly having support to the floor where it ends. I think it will look cool.

Your meticulosity is on point. Very nice work, as usual.

Why not put at least 2 thin diagonals going to the wall underneath for each bench, roughly equal distance from the ends? It wouldn't have affected the aesthetic and meant kids in the future could stand or jump on it (as they definitely would) without an accident.

I always try to build my projects with "future dumbasses" in mind - even people who may use the things I make after I'm gone.

Can you do like Matthias and jump on it at the end? I’m curious

John, Always good to see to you doing some woodworking for your house! Nice design and addition. I don’t think it should get the “Matthias Jump sit test” though …haha! Congratulations!

It's unbelievable how much top notch projects you made over time and this build is right with it imho. Love the simplicity and design. The window was the cherry on top.👌

That's a good job. Nice one.
Best Wishes, B.

Ooh that’s lovely John. The construction method is very nice.

Really nice look

I hate to be that guy but this is not going to be very strong at all. I don’t know how long this will last but it will fail.

I always hate when I hear the outro music start.

Sculpture ? What’s it made of ? Your bench turned out great. Thanks John

John- I notice the top framing is proud of (from?) the backrest. That looks great, but is it comfortable when you sit back?

Boy. Just phoned this one in, huh?

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO

Really nice work! Super clean!

Good vid but what purpose does the construction adhesive have on a painted wall? If the screws failed, it'd just peel the paint/drywall paper off.

Great job... ¿ can you add an additional low profile drawer on top of an existing dresser ?

Good job 👏👍

Shit 15 minutes?!?! I can do that this weekend!

I’m sure I saw a joint without construction adhesive 😂

What design/planning software are you using?

Looks amazing! And sturdy. How much weight can it carry?

John, you didn't do the Matthias test where he runs up to the project and jumps on it.

Nice job John! I was wondering if you kept th domino

I know this will hold but when constructing things like that I am always very pessimistic and bolt it to the wall so that your car can sit on it.
I guess doing lots of sound/light install in clubs in the past has made me extremely over cautious.

The glue added to the painted sheetrock adds NO strength to the bench and is only as strong as the paper that holds the sheetrock together...

Love when a shop is as awesome as yours and seeing some saw dust and not perfectly organized. Too many pro don’t let you see dust or disorganization even mid project.

Looks very nice, John. Thanks for sharing.

Neat the way that the inclined back supports provide extra strength to the cantilevered seat, so you don’t need the legs. However with all the construction adhesive, if you or anyone one wants to take the banquette out, they will probably have to demolish the whole wall!! Great build!!

Is the table build next?

How much weight can this hold?

Thanks i did something non speaker work 😂

John were you gluing to sheet plaster (Gyprock)? Does that actually provide any strength?

👍👍👍

Thanks

Wow, this looks fantastic!

This guy’s ingenuity is second to none

come on John no shot of you sitting on it showing how much sag it has?

Hey the best woodworker on YT made his way back to my recommended feed finally. Is that flexvolt Dewalt miter saw worth the $$? Great video!

So you don't need any brackets underneath for support? How many pounds would it hold?
