Baby Clothes bench, Toy Box, & now a Gear Bench. (circa 1952)

Dick, too bad it not an outdoors bench to post in the contest.

Looks great.

Not bad for just a hammer, saw, amd screwdriver. Reminds me of carving with a knife and scredriver,
didn’t work too well.
Nice job Dick!

Great idea! I love the family history this has. It looks comfortable too.

Pretty cool Dick, necessity is the mother of invention. You remind me of my dad. He could make a closet anyplace their was a place. Nice piece of history in your life. Thanks, mike

Thanks for the nice kudos Mike.

Barb had a garage sale once, & I told her to sell it. She put such a high price on it, just so she

wouldn’t sell it. (She’s one smart little lady), so we reupholstered it, & managed to squeeze it into

our small cabin.
