Scarey - are you going to share your design plan for your fab bench, with us..??

'tis ever so easy There are lots of tutorials on youtube but basically it is a bed head and end. The head of the bed makes the back of the bench and the foot end cut in two makes the side pieces. Screw it all together, add a piece of wood on the front to hold it all together. The seat part is made from floorboarding which I waxed but any wood should do and that's just about it. The worst part was painting it. I'll get a tutorial for you to look at in a mo.

... a couple of tutorials. These aren't exactly how I made mine but it gives you an idea.

Scarey you have every reason to be smug about it - that is gorgeous

Lovely job, the clothes lines and weeds give it an ever day practical look, not like the set-up photos in a glossy magazine.
