Work bench

Score! When I take over the world and everything, one of the laws I make will be a central registry of dunnage used and where it can be picked up for free. It will be against the Out law to throw away or burn wooden pallets and such. I may even make it against the law to put tree trunks in the landfill too.

Beautiful job on the bench. I bet that will last you and a couple of your progeny a lifetime or two.

Best,

I commend you and your colleague for not letting that great material go to waste. I would’ve definitely dumpster dove for something like that. Well done, I consider it saving resources for you and all.
Thanks!

There’s nothing like free wood for a worktable or anything else worthwhile to build. Nice going.

Very nice build, excellent reclaim too. Here’s to enjoying that bench for years to come.

Great looking bench Mike!
How you got your wood is how I got my wood.
It was being thrown out and I just couldn’t stand to see all this material going to waste.

Keep up the good work !

Now that is one SOLID looking bench – I bet you could work on cars on that thing. Great job.

Wow, Woodwrecker….that is one heck of a stash of wood…..I guess dumpster-diving really pays off….:)

Where I live we don’t have dumpsters….I just have to hope some dope throws out some good re-claim timber…... good score on the lumber…..

Thank you all.

Whoa woodwrecker!!! That is a heck of a stash.

Don, I was surprised at how solid it actually is for pine. I am no small guy and I was jumping on it without it moving.

Nice job on the bench Mike…. Also, good to see another jock in NE Florida; i’m in Jacksonville.

Thank you Chris,

Where in the Jacksonville area are you?

Wood workers are the best at reusing “waste”. Like the bench.

I’ve never seen chinese pine before, but it sure makes a nice looking bench.
