    Individuality is much prized hereabouts

    Like it or not....

    The trick is to turn out a couple of dozen & pic the ones that match the closest.

    The peg is restrained, elegant and purposeful, but will probably go unnoticed by many. I really like it.

    Default a better design peg

    Here are two more. Intended to be a bit beefier, these are a matched pair. The phone camera makes them look different but they are remarkably similar considering I have never tried to turn two like items before.

    Hi Groggy,

    I likes the last version of the pegs. Well done.

    Cheers,

    Sorry if this link has been posted before, but you may find some inspiration amongst this lot.

    In between painting the pergola and moving things around I got to finish the pegs, I did four the same and one flat in case I had any larger pieces.

    Not bad, not bad at all, you need to put 3 of them back & turn the knob down just a bit more to match the one with the smaller knob.

    No movement since last update. Renovations have taken priority. I have to move all furniture outside and paint the skirtings in the house so we can have slate put down. Unfortunately that has put the bench on hold. It will be a few weeks before I get to have fun again.

    Default Finally, a little progress.

    Well, I've been so flat-out procrastinating I haven't got much further than the last time I posted. However, I have got the mortises finished for the stretchers. Side stretchers will be next but I am playing with a storage idea that will hold things up a little more.

    Here is a pic of the front leg assembly dry-fitted.

    I like it but how do you go sanding out that permanent marker or is it some other type of marking pen/pencil? - looks like creating hard work

    I can remove the marker with good quality 100% meths but in this case it will be cut out when I fit to the top. The legs mortise into the top in the Roubo fashion (unless I change my mind again, I'm doing a drawing in Sketchup at the moment to try some things)
