    Nice build. I like the design and rustic look, but I am a bit surprised you used a slatted top for cats to climb or sit on.

  6. MC's Creations

    Beautiful, Keith! Really fantastic work! 😃
    It really turned out amazing!
    Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

  8. Jeff Goldenberg

    Very nice. You could also use diagonal bracing from the seat bottom to the stretcher to form sort of truss to stiffen it even more.

    Brilliant timing Keith, I`ve just built a deck and the wife wants a couple of benches. I happen to have a few roof battens so thanks for the great idea, plans will save me a fortune compared to the prices of the furniture that the wife has been looking at.

  15. Davip

    Does the wood preserver really make a difference in durability ?
    Nice work !

  29. Steve Bettany

    Perfect use of materials to hand and a great style of bench. I did wonder why you didn’t just shove the extra piece straight through the gap instead of forcing it in at an angle but it adds to the fun. So pleased you use glues of your own choice.

  30. AndyC

    Another nice frugal and functional project Keith, thanks for selflessly making the mistakes so we don't have to !

  31. OllieC

    When you realised the legs were cut the wrong way, couldn't you have just turned them over?

  34. Peter Compton

    Great build. Micky approved 🤪. My Saw stops are about 30cm min from the cut line. I have made a 'Spacer' approx 35cm long which I can use to put between the saw stop and cut line (which I can clamp), for the shorter repeat parts. It sits on a screw fastened to the side of the saw enclosure. Maybe you should consider something similar.
