The Holy Grail

i was fortunate enough to get a knock on my door , which was the vicor who also loves woodworking.

any way he drove me to a church which was being renovated.

and there was timber everywhere , and the vicar said just help yourself .

,so not being greedy i took what i needed to make a bigger bench.

now i measured up and sawed what i needed to make a bigger bench.

Step 1: Glued and Kreg Joinery

now i placed the bar clamps out.

layed 2 lengths on the clamps.

then using wood glue making sure the timber is square all round.

then tightened the lengths of timber on the bar clamps .

and let it bond

Step 2: Shellac

with the 3rd length.

i used my kreg pocket hole jig which works like a dream.

then i placed the pocket hole filler knocked it in snugly.#

then added 3 coats of button shellac.

and now i have the bench i have been wanting for a long time.

thanks for looking.

take care and have a good day

Step 3: Making an 8 Ft Bench
