KWC that’s awesome man UR a great friend in sure UR friend is gonna love it.
Very cool wedding gift. Nothing better than something made by hand. He must be a real good friend for you to put that much time into this. Pics of the project would be sweet
Looks fairly straight forward.mgreat idea
It is taking shape..
I think I would buckle parts together with stainless steel threaded rods .. and the holes you can see at the top is closed with wooden plugs, but I have not figured out whether it should be of cedar or mahogany
He is a good friend, he was actually my best man at my wedding..
And now it’s time for a beer at let the glue dry..
Great job KWC! Funny that too….I’m doing in Fla visiting my parents with my wife and I was in the Lanai looking at one of his flower stands and I was telling him i, going to make Samantha a bench for the big garden we are making out front. The bench you made is really cool in that the way you laid out the seat slats are along the same idea what I’ve got. I’m going to make a base fame with curves to lie the planks on on edge and curve upwards. This bench you came up with is really modern and has great clean lines. I love the 45* angles and the use of dowels. Awesome job KWC and keep posting pics dude!
It is not a 45* but a 47,5* .. So it get more stable ..
Nice work!
Really looking nice! Cheers!
Came out great KWC!
The glue is dry and I finish sanding.. So project bench is done!
