Bench Dogging After Greene and Greene
And so we now move on to the getting of legs, and in all your getting, be sure to take what you can use.
Moving now to the fourth bay of my barn on the south side, I have a bay filled with lumber from past accumulated workings of wood projects. Looking through the rows of some stickered and some stacked lumber, I soon found what I thought would make some good legs for the table bench dogs. The pine I decided on using was left over from a barn door ...

....and then some! Well this past week has been a busy one for me around here.
Started out with a storm on Monday and then we lost power, so the sump pump in the cellar went down and the water level went up….up….and up.
