Well, it’s been almost 20 years in the making but it’s done!
The project started as a 50th birthday present for Shirley. Somehow it got derailed many times over the years. I’d build a part of it and then park it away in the corner of the shop. You’d think it would have been completed last year with the lockdowns and all the time at home and while it did get some attention it wasn’t until the end of 2021 and January 2022 that the push was on for completion.
So, what is a Decon’s Bench? There seems to be a mixed opinion on the origin and purpose but it seems that a bench with a storage space under the seat is common. Ours has a flip up lid under the seat cushion with a large storage area underneath. For us it’s a place to sit when you’re putting on your shoes or boots.
