    Thanks for the comments Anthony. You were not the only one unsure about how it would look. Way back I said it was a technique I wanted to try out and the bench was a good place to do it. The fact that it looks ok is a bit of luck really. I did consider and use the golden mean as a rule of thumb so that probably helped.

    Soon enough you'll be done and dusted, then you look, ponder and lean and think, "what the heck do I do now?"

    Just send Sally inside at meal times to collect your grub for you so you don't have to come out of the shed.

    It might just work.

    Waldo, sending a Labby to collect food for you would be worse than sending a fox to bring the chooks home........

    Congratulations! I trust that the champagne will be swung into the bench on a rope?

    That won't even feed the dog for a week. I have often wondered what this bench might be worth, looking at some websites a standard bench goes for over $3k!

    Get yourself a Weimaraner, they only cost about $45 a week to feed.

    I reckon $3K might be a little on the light side. My guess would be about $4500, however, at the end of the day, it's worth whatever someone is prepared to pay.

    Can't see it ever being sold though.
