Nice work Mark - and really like the bench design - looks good and also a good method without having to do fiddly mortices

Thanks guys I wanted to make a slot together bench for a while no screws or fancy joints , its bloody heavy though I would say 4 blokes to carry it

That bench is a lovely,simple design. Love it

[Ian Leach]

Very nice work .

[Mike Black]

Beautiful bench, Gobbypunk. Love the design. I'm going to have a try of that.

Did you cut the slots on the ends as one piece, then cut in half to create the two ends?

[harvey b davison]

That bench is brilliant, wouldn't mind having a go at something like that myself.

[gobbypunk]

Hi Mike no I cut the ends to length then measured and cut out the slots one by one then with the back slotted in I carefully shaped the ends with my carving saw , the sanding took the longest if you get the slots nice and tight there should be no need for screws or pegs of any kind . Thanks for all your kind comments and do post some pics of yours if you do one

cheers Mark

By using green timber will it not split and warp?
