These will go next to the main bench and hold drinks and citronella candles and maybe peeps can sit on them.

Next up is fixing the big bench I made out of an old picnic table. Hopefully be ready for some mother's day fire action. Assuming it isn't snowing.

Ha, so proud of his work he even faced a big knot to annoy the purists.  

Imagine you’d want some cross bracing if the tables will be used as stools?

This looks awesome! I need to build some shelving in the house. Someday. When I have time between my 3 jobs.

Yes I did that on purpose ... to annoy the purists. For sure.

Yeah that’s a good point on the cross bracing. These’ll be primarily tables but I’m sure people will end up sitting on them.

Thanks man! How do you juggle 3 jobs in this day and age?

I’m just starting out. So, I will let you know! Though, already, a lack of sleep and a higher degree of zero fucks has been detected.

Whatever your reasons for making the knot and warped leg prominent in those photos. I doubt it will be noticeable or anyone sitting around a fire pit would have reason to care.  Wasn’t intended as snark.

I didn’t take it as snark. I’m just slapping this stuff together with no real plan or whatever just want them to be sturdy and last awhile.

Just wait until you see the bench that they going next. Woodworking porn it ain’t.

Oooh, I need to do something like this. I have some scrap lumber around. I just put in turf, lights, and a gas fire pit on my patio. Next step is new seating (could make a little bench like that) and then need to build planters and put up some lattice. That part will come later, I'm just happy I finally have something functional

My plan was to glue up this bench but then I opened a big box of screws and and just went with it.

This isn’t what I built but what I planned on originally

I like screws and I'm not going for amazing looks. Just need something that works. That looks good!

I’m only 9 2x4s deep in this project and that includes a saw horse.

Well, it’s this or be in debt for the rest of all life. This will only be a two year adventure if I play my cards right and don’t lose my gig at the car dealership. Have you heard? No on is buying vehicles.

It’s all good! Either way, life is beautiful and we will all make it! :)
