This is why I like your channel - most youtube DIY channels, particularly around woodworking have every tool under the sun for almost every job, implausibly enormous and powerful industrial planers and table saws that could do all this in one operation and a seemingly endless supply of lumber for making things. This approach is far more down to earth and like how a normal person would approach a task like this, including the mistakes. By the way the issue with your circular saw cuts if you haven't figured it out are the sides aren't parallel - they would need making parallel in a jointer for that to work right (there are ways around this) - which highlights my main point.

When using a circ saw to cut joints, a better way than using a hammer is to use your chisel vertically in the cut and lever it over. You will find that up to 5 strips will break off at the base and you can remove them in one piece. With a hammer you end up with a load of peaks to chisels off. A tip passed onto me by my dad which I follow.

A couple of tips from me a) the blade on my circular saw also deflects from 90 degrees when cutting sleepers so I measured the angle of deflection and adjusted the base plate accordingly to end up with a pretty accurate 90 degree cut b) I have a hole saw set and found that I had one where the internal diameter matched the size of my forstner bit so I am able make my own wooden plugs from an off cut rather than buy a length of dowel. Great channel by the way 👍

@brynroebuck9769

From experience of working with oak sleepers, the width of the wood will shrink by at least 2mm as it slowly dries out, so the legs will become loose in the slots and the screws will also become loose over time. The only way round this is to let the oak dry out (around 4 years) first. Just speaking from my experience.

Excellent job. Too good for my garden!! Thanks for showing. I made a similar rustic one from a pine sleeper. I sunk the legs halfway into the depth of the seat and didn’t glue or screw it. It kept in place by its own heavy weight. It lasted years before woodlice and rain rotted the joints away so the glueing and screwing is a great way to keep it sealed and lasting longer (and safer for children). Be very aware that breathing in oak wood dust is carcinogenic and can catch up with you many years after the job and can shorten your life.

Nice detailed look at what ought to have been a simple job... I made an oak bookcase when i was in school, and wanted to round off the edges. My teacher said, "No. Oak should be chamfered." I've no idea why but I was reminded of this when you did the same... Incidentally I made the unit with secret, mitred dovetails, and was quite pleased with myself... but of course i was never able to prove it to anyone... lol
