work bench

Project by roy posted 671 days ago 1023 views 0 times favorited 18 comments Add to Favorites Watch

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?

just waitin for the wood to settle before leveling with a plane
it was a chicken coop NOT store bought wood
if i had run it thru a plane before i glued and screwed it i would still have to hand plane it again when all the chicken @#%$#^&%$ dried out of the wood

Yes youre right.
Chiken @#%$#^&%$ does harm to not only wood, cement slate also tends to become vulnerable.

That’s why most of my projects (tool box, workhorse, jigs) are from shipping pallet
I collected at the dumping ground.
My workhorse is one of them…
