The benches are all done and a bit ahead of schedule. This job seems pretty straight forward but there is a lot going on that meant there were many unknowns to deal with. The difficulty lies in meeting a deadline when there are unknowns. So many unknowns, so little time. The heavy stock of the seats was hard to find and very difficult to work with. I was lucky to find the stock locally and also lucky that I was able to mill out and glue up the seat blanks without help. I knew what I wanted for the steel back supports but I was not sure how they would come out. How precise would the bends and drilled holes be, etc. Time is what makes almost anything possible. A lack of time when it is needed can cause much stress. Well, it all worked out.
Much thanks to the many sitters who watched my daughter, Claire. They took morning and afternoon shifts and made this project possible. They gave me the time that I needed. See the picture of Claire at the bottom of the page.
