That way if I need it to work on something in the either the front or back garden or even inside the house it will be easy to set up. If we are going somewhere like Houston in a few weeks I can throw in the back of the truck. I'll need it in Houston to repair the damaged changing table. <br /><br />I liken building benches to childbirth, In a few weeks I forget about the pain of the build and remember the joy of finishing. That few weeks hasn't passed yet but I expect it will. The only problem is finding someplace to put another bench.<br /><br />ken I'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-78583821533141352362018-12-04T04:57:06.125-08:002018-12-04T04:57:06.125-08:00Nice job on the bench Ken.

Thanks and I will.
I can't thank you e...Will,<br /><br />Thanks and I will.<br /><br />I can't thank you enough for rediscovering and reviving the form. I had spent a couple of years trying to figure out how to make a small but solid and usable portable bench before I ran across your build video. I knew you had nailed the portable part at first sight but only after working on the bench for awhile did I realize how brilliant the Moravians were in the design. <br /><br />Thanks again,<br /><br />ken I'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-43280003309138383552018-12-03T13:32:56.026-08:002018-12-03T13:32:56.026-08:00Mighty Fine!

Then it will look like a bench and a thing of beauty. :-)<br /><br />kenI'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12079088.post-37977313769885735722018-12-03T13:01:31.796-08:002018-12-03T13:01:31.796-08:00She's a beauty, Ken.
