Do you remember Wood Bench in Taiwan at old days ?
For the 8/28 Mid Summer Concert, Josephine and I hade thought about renting chairs for our guests...and then I decided to bring all the chairs back from our office. But, these chairs plus those we have at home are such a big mixed and messy...Surely cannot be approved by our concert producer - JP.
What should I do? The Concert is 24 hours away...
Friday afternoon, I went to Home Depot to shop some lumbers and ask my helper to work on this urgent project - to make our own wood benches. The adventure is unforgetable!
I used to see how our master carpenters in the wood work that our family owned back in Guansi, 50 some years ago... Based on that memory...we discussed on our draft.
We surely not capable to make it with the tradional way - nailess joints... We must use nails and screws, but still try to make it soild and looking good. We did figure out how finally...and we even rushed to have these benches painted.
Please check these 3 wood benches... they are our proud babies.
6 foot long, 18 inch high and with 10" width...solid strong! I believe they are definitely useful for many events, including for my tea workshops and our Hakka Toastmasters Meeting...
Maybe, this is a new hobby!

First, get some lumbers
ReplyDelete2x10 - 6 foot long for the bench face
2x6 - 5 foot long for the base
2x3 - 8 foot long (2 pcs)for the legs and support. (need 2-1/2" screws - one small box) and some nails.
With good tools could be done easily...
