Project Information
my wife brought home this bench (see in pic#1) she got at a yard sale and ask me if I could do anything to help it.The 1st. thing I did was to take it apart and sand down to bare wood where possible. The seat on the orig. was only 14" off the ground.I cut off the tops of all 4 posts and attached them to the bottoms of each post. The 2 front post's where in 2 parts so I cut off the bottom 3" of the top portion and attached it to the bottom portion I then attached a ball knob to the top of all 4 post.The overall widthe of the bench was 22" so I cut it down to 16" inches which fits just right in our entry way.I changed the seat from a pad to solid pine and stained it with cherry stain .I then painted it with semigloss black paint. See pic #6…....Thanks for looking…...................Schloemoe
