Devin,
Nice job. That is a beautiful bench. Looks comfortable too!

-- I love the smell of sawdust in the morning....

Nice job especially with your simple details…very well done!!

Fantastic work! Not overly detailed.

You have been able to take a woodworking class AND you have a woodworking guild to attend. I am jealous!! There is not anything woodworking related in my area!

-- James - What's your excuse this time??

Nice shape and design. The wedges make the piece stand out.

this is very nice…I love the extra personal touches you went with on this bench…and to build this while learning so much is even better…

I built a similar bench a few years ago for my woodworking lvl 3 course at camosun. sandra does have a nice design she encourages everyone to use.
i’m leaving for inside passage school in nine days, so it is kinda funny that our woodworking paths have been so similar. we should probably take the time to visit each others shops someday.
nice project.

Thanks for the comments everyone, with the move and building the new shop it had been way too long since I made some sawdust, feels great to be back at it.
James, I am lucky to have courses and a guild in Victoria, but in addition to that there is the Woodwhisperer guild, it’s an online guild that you might want to check out.
Junior, small world…you’re leaving for IP in nine days?! congrats, I’m very jealous…how long are you going for? Are you going to blog about it a bit here at LJs?

going to try and do 2 years at IP, though i cannot confirm the second year yet.
I will try to post the smaller project as I complete them, if the school is not opposed to it.

A very nice bench and you have displayed it with appropriate photographs.

Junior, 2 years at IP! wow, that’s going to be an unbelievable experience, I hope to get up there for at least one or two of their 1 week classes in the near future, I’ll be sure to say hi if I do.
