Friends: I thought you all might enjoy this workout bench I made for my wife. It's a sturdy piece and I got it done fast by turning round tenons on the lathe, fitting them into simple, drilled mortises and then wedging the joints for security. The whole thing was very fast to make and the...

I'm very happy to finally add this to the projects page. It seems like its been a blog forever. This is the 1st piece that I've made that could possibly be construed as fine furniture. I'm not sure it actually makes it, but I'm real happy with how she came out. Pretty comfortable too.
