My wife didn't realize that she needed a potting bench to help her stay organized in my, er make that our garage.
Plans are from Family Handyman July/August 2000. Since the the bench will stay in the garage, instead of using cedar, I bought regular 2x4 and 2x6 Pine and mixed in some Maple and Oak "scraps" that fit where needed. The plans listed a cost of $300 to $400 for the Cedar and hardware. I spent about $100, of which more was for hardware than for wood.
I added a back to the bench and installed hooks on which to hang the rakes, hoe and shovels. I used a couple coats of water based Poly to seal it all up.
A few details to finish, she hasn't decided exactly how she wants to hang her hand tools.
thanks for looking,
Russ
