Nice one Clive. What do you ask for one of them?

[Steve Bullman]

Good work! Are the legs cedar also?

[delabodge]

the legs are cedar ,and I spend a day planning,mitering,and half lapping the joints, then have a session on the 24" planner ,doing the seats, the tops where 36" across so sanded them with a belt sander, etc, there 10ft long with 3" tops and weigh a ton, so nobodies nicking them, they seat 12 people each .

Nice benches ,looks really good .Must be worth a few quid?

I pressume these are for outside use? as the benches are attached to the table.From what I have recently veiwed on-line regarding tables and benches,it would seem that if the benches are seperate from the table then its classed as a dining table,attached its a garden table? And price seems higher for dining rather than garden, so would it not be better ,or more profitable to make the benches seperate and call it a dining room table?

there made to go in country parks outside a cafe,and a couple outside a sailing club, so groups can sit on them,having worked in the parks department previously for five yrs, if its not fixed down they walk, or end up being thrown in the lake, these are built so they cant be moved or stolen:thumbup:

Very nice!

 

I'm glad there are still some discerning customers out there that aren't swayed by the relatively cheap mass produced product. It must be a limited market given how much time, skill, dedication and materiel it's takes to make yours in comparison to the factory output.

 

Keep 'em guessing on price.....

Your bang on there Kevin,I'm one of those people who buy something if I like it and appreciate it,and I have a lovely piece of furniture from a graduate at art college ,it was his degree piece and worth every penny,his face was a picture when I said I'd have it,😆my range of products and prices vary from £3.50 to £15k so there's scope for every one, pubs rarely want to spend £££ on quality stuff like cedar benches but one did last yr and ordered ten, sold two too the hells Angels as party tables,and a couple to big houses which had there own woods,so there is a market, but for every bench I sell I sell 100 bird boxes at £25 each,,,time is the issue,trying to strike a happy balance with keeping the wife happy and not working every minute:001_cool:
