The guy who gets most of our burning wood for us brought us this pile.

It’s some other chap’s old gazebo which had started to collapse because the supports had rotted. Our guy bought it to me because he thought we could stick it in the wood burner but it’s been treated so no chance.
So, what to do with it….? Well, £20 on some 12mm nuts and bolts, 4 hours work later…. It’s an extremely solid workbench. Weighs a ton. It’s not going to win any beauty contests and it still needs a plywood shelf on the bottom, the surface needs smoothing off a bit. I’m quite pleased with this. I’m looking for a vice now and will fix a fluorescent lamp to the wall right above it.
