I was tired of seeing potting benches in stores that seemed flimsy and over-priced for what they offered, so being a crafty type, I set out to build my own. I had no plan, no measurements, and only a rough idea of what I was trying to do. I sat down with graph paper and rulers and designed this. I think it turned out pretty nice. It measures 22×48 x 52. ( depth, length,height ). This pretty much jump-started my desire to build furniture and other things.
I hope you enjoy looking at it.

Thanks, guys. I’ve been looking through the pics of works the LJ’s have done and I’m inspired.
Nitewalker, go ahead and show it to her; it only took 9 pine boards ( 1×4’s ), 1 dishpan, and the finish of your choice. Truthfully, it was pretty left natural, but I’m a sucker for cherrywood finishes.

Really great. An ambitious – and terrific- first project here at LJ.
