Garden Bench

**parahandy** · 17 February 2007, 03:30 PM

Had a break from drawing and taking advantage of the nice springlike days we have had lately thought I'd make another garden bench from scrap/recycled pine . I'll probably give it away to one of my neighbours. I just do it for pleasure so here it is half built.

It looks very convincing, Parahandy,

If you ever decide to leave sunny Scotland and come to the American northwest to live, let me know, and I'll see if I can get the neighbor to move out of his house.

I can already see it is going to be a beautifull one again.

And the weather is indeed very pleasurable, global warming might be bad,
but the weather change here, isn`t.

Very nice bench, can you move to Yorkshire and be my neighbour?

sigh

Norm, another fine looking bench. Do you ever stop producing fine things?

Last week the weather here was hanging around ZERO the entire time, sometimes slightly above and sometimes below. Windchills got to -40. Right now it is 25 outside (F, not C) and feels like Spring!

Very find bench, Norman, master of many things.

Spring like weather in the UK? It's been freezing here for the past 1 1/2 months...brrr.

Good job on the bench, I like the style.

I didn't get the carpenter gene as saws and hammers growl at me when I get too close.
