WIRE STRAIGHTENER

If you have been in the hobby any length of time and wire your trees, you will soon collect a large amount of used wire. I usually unwire by hand...

I’m adding one ASAP. Unless there’s better ideas lol. Oh and not ASAP but once I get some stuff wired! Lol I’m growing and propagating but don’t have anything to weird yet except my two latest I’m hoping! Actually 3! Got an FL black olive that’s been worked, a nursery FL black olive to chop and a Japanese boxwood that’s huge in my opinion lol.

Gosh that’s cool! I have all of the parts in the garage too... except one. Where do you get the New Castle Brown Ale? Haven’t seen it around here

I’m hoping he’ll come straighten wire for Newcastle. But he better straighten fast or the Newcastle may run out!

One of the best designs I've seen. Great use of space. I'm a big fan of benches that aren't too showy, the bonsai is the star of the show. Keep it understated.

One step up from my "Rub it along the bench-edge"!

Very nice. I tried to get my husband to build me a bench this spring, what are all those tools in the garage for anyway? So far, no luck. I'll just have to show him a really expensive one on the internet and tell him I'm going to buy it, as motivation lol.

Not that I want to tell you how to manage your husband or anything.. But my girlfriend found out that if she just buys some wood and glue and starts fiddling around with it, I'll build whatever she wants. She knows glue isn't going to hold a cabinet together, but that's part of the trickery. Half an hour of her dummying around is usually enough to convince me to take over and do it properly.
Please do act relieved and grateful, that's an important part of the act. Otherwise it might only work once ;-)

Here they are with some trees on them, and some sod underneath.

Looks great John. I need to do something with mine...

Really nice, you have your own nursery!

Threaten to call a contractor. make a sticky with a few local numbers. That has helped a few friends of mine.

I managed to build these earlier in the summer, finally, no more cinder blocks

Well done John! Love your vision put into action.

This looks great! Just built my first cinder block bench this summer. Good inspiration here

What is the length of your longest table?

Great setup John. I like the way you have the sprinkler system integrated.
