work bench work bench work bench Click the pictures to enlarge them

here is a work bench i built. it is made fron 6×6 oak fence posts and lumber from a chicken coop. i used cut nails because the wood was so hard. cost $0 the bench is 6’ x 3’
this is also on my blog with more pictures
the top was glued with white glue and screwed. i will remove the screws and put some in from the bottom when glue is dry, so the top won’t have any metal in it

I just hope you don’t have to move it. I bet it weighs a ton!!!

Good use of old lumber. It looks solid enough to hold the entire Ethiopian Army.

At first i did not know what to think of your bench. but after a minute of thinking and reading some more, I decided that it rocks. Nice job working with what you have available, we should all be so willing.
Good luck and keep building. PS where will the chickens live now?
