Benches

[Gixxerjoe04]

Finally finished some benches I've been workin on for a few weeks, the finish won't be cured for another week which is annoying. Anyways, used plans from the wood whisperer and made from white oak. I used my domino for all the joinery, Id probably still be working on it if it weren't for it haha.

Nice looking bench. Looks like that will stand up to years of use. Client has to be very happy with them.

Nice! I can see where the domino would be a real time saver on those.

Thanks everyone, they're going to their final resting spot today, the finish said it needed 2 weeks to cure so I let it sit for 2 weeks, didn't want to risk ruining it. Not gonna lie, nervous about the floor being flat and them sitting perfect haha. I put some non slip pads on the feet so they won't have a chance of sliding around on tile.

As everyone said, very nice.
What finish did you use that takes two weeks to cure? For outdoor use?

I used system 3 marine varnish. They aren't going outside but inside a locker room at a gym, so needed a good waterproof finish, probably could have got away with something different but when Charles Neil tells you what's good, you listen haha.
