here are the pictures of this mudroom bench I made with mirror. the mirror and board with hooks was made from old barn wood. I sanded briefly with my ro90 and then took the 850 planer with the undulating head and messed it up a bit. then took dirt and darkened up the areas where planed..... yes dirt right out of their planters next to the drive way were I was working.. wiped it off then added satin poly all over it... came out awesome.
the bench was made from birch ply, popular frame and t & g beaded pine,,, what else.
the first picture is from some magizine the lady found and water the bench to look something like that but smaller and with my designs.
let me know any questions... and thank you
oh if I might add this is awesome ! i am very pleased and even impressed myself on this one. customer is also very happy and has hired me to do a complete bonus room of cabinets, benches desk, tv cabinet... a pretty huge job.... starting around may 1st... and I just met them at the coffee shop I eat at and they had mentioned to the waitress that they were looking for someone to build a mudroom bench... and the waitress came over to me to get my card and I said why... I said let me go over and introduce myself,, showed my mini I PHONE presentation and right then and there said... lets get together either this afternoon at 4 pm or would tomorrow at 6:30 be better.... they said today which I might add was sunday.. so I saw them that afternoon, sunday... why dilley dalley around with emails when you can book now... saw them that afternoon went back 2 days later with price and got deposit right then.
and they are extremely happy... they had meet with 4 people before me over the last 6 months and none of them she said had a clue and all looked puzzled as to what to do.
i showed up with enthusiusm and the attitude that i can do it and do these changes and it will look awesome ! and it did..
just a brief lesson for your pros out there on how I do things... in case it might help you.
