Project Information
Ok so this is my Garden Bench submission. It was originally a goal to see what i could build out of 1 sheet of plywood and other cheep materials. This is inspired by the "Embrace Bench - Peter Chen" in the Fine Woodworking Contemporary Furniture Design. My bench is about 72" x 20" and about 18" Tall. this was made with 1 sheet of 3/4" borg plywood about 3 ft of 1/2" aluminum rod. My Aluminum rod doesnt go through the legs i built the legs around the inset rods. The porous plywood was filled with system 3 epoxy on the whole thing, and finished with General Finishes Exterior stuff… I used some easier joints than Mr. Chen did and i used crappier plywood that had to be filled with epoxy. But i will say I think it turned out pretty great. Especially for about $75 and a bunch of time…
