    Hey. I made 2 of these benches for less then 80 dollars. The benches are strong and very attractive. My mom loves them on her front porch.

    These plans, which arrived instantaneously, were quite brilliant in their simplicity and clarity. I am a 74 year old retired solicitor (attorney) with little or no knowledge of carpentry and a bit of a bozo at anything practical. Yet from these plans I was able to construct a beautiful and yet practical garden bench of which I am justifiably proud in about 8 hours. And I had no help at all, just a circular saw.
