That's my thunkin' stool. Just the right height for resting the elbows on the bench and working out how to fix the latest stuff up. 
As soon as the oil has cured i'll be starting on a bluegum slab desk. Stay tuned for the next WIP. |

Bench looks stunning. That timber in the cross member on the close up looks fantastic. Is that wavy grain in the timber real or a photo artefact? |

I might actually have a piece of brass that could be made to fit. |

I've just noticed that this bench took less than six months to build...
Isn't that some sort of code violation

I prefer to think of it as a Benchmark 
Now get a move on with your bench. |

I think you're right Ray. It's going to have to be a bloody big book to cover that much procrastination  |
