Waste Not Want Not Mini-projects.= Project A = 1m x 2m garden work bench /seat made from 100x100mm post offcuts & 75x200mm sleeper offcuts.
I didn't let much the 100x100mm F4 pine posts or 75x200mm Sienna HW sleepers go to waste ( or the tip ) , any pieces over 300mm long set aside and utilised.
Hossein suggested a stronger corner join than the basic version I designed. Bit more fiddlely making the 3 way tenon & mortise join but much more durable and strong.
I had 50mm HD casters attached to the legs to facility moving the bench about it is VERY HEAVY !!! and hard to move otherwise.
I had the underside of the bench coated with leftover Diggers Eco In-Ground Timber Protectapine sealer and the sides, legs and top coated with Coat the legs, sides an top with Cabot's Clear Exterior Varnish Stain = CTB + Colonial Baltic stain.., as this bench-table will always be exposed to the elements.
Really nice colour :
The finished garden bench table
