Osmo top oil, clear matt.

As @JSW outlined, ping a line through and plumb cut them off, there all done now and have fitted fascias and soffits today, but that's not very interesting to see.


Took me me a while to dig through the pile of timber to find we didn't have a ridge, but to be honest I enjoy this type of work, it just gets harder though, now, with climbing up a scaffold ladder and with dodgy knees, bits of me hurt I didn't know I had.

I hear you, a lot of ladder work for me yesterday , feel your pain.

My missus volunteered me to make a backgammon board as a 70th birthday gift for my FIL. White oak, sapele and walnut. I didn't make the counters or the dice. This is the first thing I've made which I've been sad to give away!

Here's the finished desk tidy, did not enjoy making it and as nice as it came out I don't want to make another, hopefully the lady that asked me to make it is happy with the price and likes it.

If she’s not happy with it I’ll have it excellent work yet again Stig .

Hehe, I'm afraid she seems to love the photos I have sent her and has agreed to the price (possibly a little too enthusiastically) so just waiting for her to come get it

So your price was too low?

To be honest I know I should have charged more, probably double but other than time it only cost me a few £ for the hardware, I'm not disappointed with what she is paying me.

Made another planter and a small stool.
The stool was a test of the design to see if I wanted to make a bench and table in similar design.
Turns out I don't ha, was boring to make and I don't think it looks that good, so back to the drawing board on that one.

Was that the one which you asked about the through tenons? Looks like you smashed it!

I like the bench concept. I would have made the gaps bigger, about half the width of the rails though.

Sat at home yesterday, getting over a bit of surgery.

I had time to indulge myself.

do you have any plans you would be willing to share for this?

I have the stock dimensions if that helps? The design is pretty simple. Happy to walk through the key points and learning!

Just to update an old thread: Bench seat and as @petermillard say's "We'll call this one done".

Finally had time to finish this off, (I did plug the screw holes in the seat support) deliverrood today:

beautiful work, I'm curious about the folding feature, I can't imagine many scenarios where I'd want that on an outdoor bench?

That was a big plus for me. Great for winter storage.
