A little bench

[ivwshane]

I used this as the inspiration piece:

http://www.restorationhardware.com/rh/catalog/product/product_suite.jsp?productId=prod1102011&navCount=2

Total cost had I purchased it from restoration hardware: $1100
Total cost for materials: $200
Time spent: 5 days (two days of building and three for paint)
Saving: $900!!


This was way over priced but I've seen similar benches that were priced around $300 so I still would have came out in the end Plus my wife loves it!

Looks good! So how many tools are you going to be able to buy with all that money you saved.

The moulding gives it a very nice touch.

All it is a box (or two depending on how you look at it) with some trim on it.


A simple project for a beginner like me
