Entry for ugly bench contest
Moses Yoder in White Pigeon, MI
>The contest may be over, but I now have an entry for the ugly bench contest. I will be doing some saw sharpening, and also wanted to have a very portable bench to possibly do craft shows in the area. I needed this one to be ready to pack in the car Thursday, plus all the other stuff I want to get done this week. I started yesterday afternoon with some treated pine 2x4's and 2x6's I had left over from another job, and finished building the bench this evening. The pine of course was warped, and I never did take the time to stop and sharpen my chisel, so the joinery is probably worse than you can imagine. But with some shims under the legs to level it, it is sturdy enough, and all the joints are bolted so as the wood shrinks I can just tighten up the joints. I will wait to take pics until it is set up at 5 Barns, and you can see it for yourself there.
