:) It's a gardening table! The bottom is a shelf for whatever, and the top will have a bottom onto it. That's where the soil goes. I remember planting my mom's orchids and we had this tub where we mixed the soil with the bark together. So you pour whatever you want into that big tray, mix it up, then there's this thingamajig that slides across the top of the table. You put the pot there, fill it up, and... ya!

:) It's redwood. He was originally going to nail the bottom in, but I told him we should leave it as planks that sit onto the little railing. That way if it starts getting too muddy you can take em off and hose the whole thing down.
Close-up:
The legs are at 45 degrees. The planks and such are set in with dado cuts. Basically its a saw blade that's extra wide. Actually it was like 5 sawblades stuck together. Well I learned something new!
I'll have the finished one up soon, hopefully today!

very, very cool! You can use it for a lot of things! I love seeing the "works in progress" but would love seeing the items when they are finished too! We only see them when they are "works in progress"
ReplyDeleteYes I have a bad habit of getting excited about it, posting it, then moving onto something else before posting the completed project. My mom's bench is done and she loved it. As for the curved bench that's still a WIP! :) That one's a toughy, we are working on the back of it right now. Sometimes you don't get the ideas right away, they kinda come to you.
