Thank you. Yes it is rock solid.
It's the first thing I have made, I'm really pleased with how it has turned out.

Nice bench Mr Teroo. Just needs beating up a bit now to give it that used look.
As for myself, i spent yesterday and will spend today constantly moving stuff and painting the space left behind. Should be done today and start to get my shop back into working order. It's been 2 weeks of grief i could have done without but the space is now cleaner, brighter and definitely warmer.

Beating up? I've just bought some paint to pretty it up
You can't beat spring cleaning and reorganising, I love it.

Kill dozens of (sleepy) wasps I knew there was a nest I just didn't realize it was between the false ceiling and the insulation. They hadn't been a problem until yesterday so I left them alone. They should have just died but I assume with the temps dropping to near zero the last few days they decided to go for the warmth.

A couple of days ago my son told me about a distraught young woman at his place of work [shelter for the homeless], a decade ago she was assaulted by a stranger, while pregnant, and lost her baby. She was distraught because the baby's grave had been vandalised and the basic wooden cross marker was broken, two days before the anniversary of death.
I didn't have much time due to work and SWMBO's hospital appointment;
I scraped the old glue off the half lap joint in the centre of the cross, cut a couple of Iroko dowels using a plug cutter [in the end grain] and drilled blind holes through the joint from the front, which will be hidden by the brass plaque. Glued it up in the warmth of the house with TB3 which will hopefully last outdoors. I sanded everything above the soil line and gave it all a couple of coats of Teak oil. It looks a lot better and I feel like I've done a good thing.
The half lap joint was so slack you could fit a coin in the gap, unfortunately I didn't have time to address this.
Didn't get a full piccy but took a couple of detailed ones, hopefully someone could enlighten me re. the wood type. My guess is Iroko.
