From 10ft Church Pew to Kitchen Corner Seating

Video Description

This 10ft church pew had served its time — until Lou decided to give it a new life. In this video, I take you through how I cut down an old church pew and transformed it into a beautiful kitchen corner seat. It’s not a tutorial — more a look at the thought process, challenges, and small decisions along the way that make woodworking so rewarding. If you enjoy seeing old furniture brought back to life and reused with purpose, you’ll enjoy this one. Thank you Jamie 🪚 The Worcestershire Cabinet Maker Sharing real woodworking, restoration, and craftsmanship — one project at a time. #woodworking #diy #upcycling Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 02:17 The 10ft Pew & Problems 03:32 Drawings 04:55 Marking out 06:14 Head scratching 06:50 Leg Issue 07:02 The Angled Back Problem 08:57 There will be 'No Waste' 09:46 The Realisation 10:57 Masking up 11:23 The Straight line 11:45 Laid Bare 12:28 Hand Saws Only 14:03 Start Cutting 15:27 Cutting the church pew 17:47 Second cut 19:04 Dropped! 😮 19:59 Corner back 21:38 Rub jointing 22:49 Tape to hold the mitre 25:16 Panel pins to hold it together 26:48 Uneven gap 27:26 Saw kerf gap trick 30:30 Together 32:23 Ratchet strap to hold church pew 33:47 The next day 34:35 Supporting timber 35:11 Corner brace 36:54 Church pew corner glue up 37:37 Not pretty underneath 38:29 Church Pew In the Horse Box 38:36 Corner Church Pew in the kitchen Related videos: 🔗 Restoration of a Camera https://youtu.be/x3cLya9sX0g 🔗 Coffee Briquettes = Free Winter Fuel https://youtu.be/BrUE1Hs82iQ Introduction, The 10ft Church Pew, Problems with church pews, Drawings of church pews, Marking out the pew, Head scratching because, one shot cut, working around the Leg, The Angled Back Problem, There will be 'No Waste', The Realisation, this is hard, Masking tape up, getting The Straight line, Laid Bare, one shot cut, hand Saw cut Only, Start saw Cutting, Cutting the church pew in half, Second hand saw cut, the seat Dropped, the back corner of the pew, Rub jointing, how to rub joint, Tape to hold the mitre, using tape to hold a rub joint, Panel pins to hold the corner together, Uneven gap in the seat, the Saw kerf gap trick, glued Together, Ratchet strap to hold church pew, The next day, Supporting timber to hold the joint, Corner brace, Church pew corner glue up, Not pretty underneath a church pew, Church Pew In the Horse Box, Corner Church Pew in the kitchen, kitchen seating church pew,
