Anywho, I finished the bench today. Learned alot, would love to do this again, keeping eyes out for discarded benches. I didn`t reuse the original wood because it was sooooo weak. These things are built so cheap... anyway, I wanted to beef it up a lot. Well it`s strong, but I had a hard time with the thickness of my choice and were it had to mate with the cast iron (now i`m in serious doubt that its iron, prolly some real cheap steel made to look cast)
Then about half way thru the thing I realized I could have saved myself a tone of work if I HAD used the original wood, it would have been alot stronger because I changed the width of the bench, (shorter planks are strong than that long original span)
And somehow I changed the darkness of this text and I don`t seem to be able to stop it now LOL
.
And I got that paid project done. I didn`t want to post anymore because I hate to spoil it for the one thats gonna own it. This is the car cut and backlit on the light box. It still has the original pattern glued to the fron and so you cannot see anything wood.
.
I Like how this turned out. Will deliver early next week.
Now this thing is underlineing everything, think I`m gonna sign out...
