About This Project

The plans are great.  This went together really fast.  I am cheating a little here, it is not quite complete; I need to add the side blocks on top and my wife would like a another panel added to the front at work height level, just for looks.  But the overall look won't be changed.  I struggled some with finishing (I usually do).  A couple spots  have runs I didn't see.  One will be covered by the front panel I'll add,but another needs sanding.

From Plan: 
Simple Potting Bench
Estimated Cost: 
$100
Estimated Time Investment: 
Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)
Required Skill Level: 
Beginner
Type of Wood: 
Cedar
Finish Used: 
General Finishes Cedar Exterior 450 Water based stain. I was going to add a spar varnish to extend the life. I decided against that because while it likely would extend the life, I would have to strip it to re-stain. After a couple years, I can simply re-stain without stripping if I don't varnish.

So envious!

This is 1000X better than I could have imagined!  Beautiful, and I am so envious of your spring weather!

Spring

Thank you. 

And thank you for the plan as well.  This is a great site.  

And yes we have had some awesome weather over the previous 5
days.  I was staining in a wind-storm yesterday so I could get it
mostly done before the cold front came through and dropped the
temperature 40 degrees.  Such is March in St Louis.
