Bench Project

[MikeW]

My goodness, Martin, what a beautiful bench. Something to be proud of both in its construction and where the wood came from. Nice way to commemorate that.

real nice job Martin...

Martin

Can't wait to see it in the flesh, really nice job.

I thought you'd have put some new goodies on there for a little gloat?

 

[Scott]

Superb Martin! Very impressive!

To Martin

Looks super and I would certainly like to have it in my workshop, built with greenheart means it should last many lifetimes, our local pier had greenheart and that stood in water for over 100 years.

 

[Aragorn]

Fantastic. Too good to use! :lol:

 

[Neil]

Absolutely superb, Martin! A real inspiration. I bet your planer knives needed resharpening after dealing with that lot!

Cheers,
Neil

Yeah, can you imagine what'd happen if you accidentaly let your chisel slip and hit the bench? Probably need a re-grind... :wink: :lol:

Cheers, Alf

Superb Martin,
You made a cracking job of the tailvise.

dont worry about about using it now......because you know how you finished it..... a good flatten once a year will get rid of the user maks.....i was
hesitent at first but now it gets full abuse and i've reflattened and refinshed it 3 times.

you realise now you have to keep up that standard of work in all your jobs.

great learning curve

well done

lovely job

Ian
