Description

Wooden Swing 2.0 | Bent Wood Porch Swing (Laminate Bending)

This is Wooden Swing 2.0 — an improved version of one of the very first woodworking videos I made fev years ago.

This time, I rebuilt the swing with several important upgrades to make it stronger, more comfortable, and more practical, with laminate bending technique.

🔨 What’s New in Swing 2.0

Flatter bottom end for better comfort

Improved C-frame — wider and thicker for added strength

Fully disassemblable design for easier transport and storage

🌲 About the Wooden Swing

This wooden swing was made as a custom order for a viewer of the channel, commissioned as a Christmas / anniversary gift.

It is crafted from laminate-bent larch wood, selected for its strength and excellent outdoor durability. Each curve is formed using a single template and carefully glued and clamped to achieve a smooth, continuous shape.

The seat boards run along the entire frame, allowing the swing to be used not only for sitting, but also as a cozy resting place. With blankets and pillows added, it becomes a perfect spot for relaxing on warm summer evenings.
The swing is surprisingly strong, comfortably holding two adults, and designed for long, relaxed moments outdoors.

Knowing this swing was built as a meaningful, personal gift makes this project especially special to me.
