Show Us Your Bonsai Benches

[Deep Sea Diver]

After building a couple fixed benches designed as a take off from Jeremy Norbergs design, I riffed the new design to build some portable “COVID constructs“ this year. First there were 2, then these multiplied like rabbits! Gotta figure what caused that!

My newest bench my husband Wade built me ( @sorce See what I did there...I gave him a name. lol) ...So didn't know what to expect. I questioned his idea...and was banned to the house while he built it. lol Plenty of lineal bench space. I was concerned it wouldn't be large enough.

Wade

I just realized I might love the name so much cuz....I do him in the river! LOL!
Think I saw..pun intended...his name on FB when I was there.

That package....is held up with @TimberLakers due to a printer malfunction, went to the PO today and they sent me to the library for copies, so I'm in a holding pattern researching new printers...blah blah blah....sorry for the delay!

Love this V bench.

It seems things surrounding it may need adjusting for it to feel at home, where the stained glass one fit perfect straight away.

But I know you'll get this one tuned in.

My stained glass 7 foot bench is still in place my friend. That's my side bench.

This one needs the wood to dry to allow it to be stained. Then it will fit in easier on the eye.

Right wading in the creek. Lol

Do not worry about the package @sorce.

Not as heavy duty as it could be but given that I almost entirely used wood from old slat frames and pretty much improvised the construction on the go I'm happy with the result.

 

[CWTurner]

Very cool.
Why am I hankering to do some ironing?

See @sorce I still have the seven foot bench. Not the best angle for the top trees on the shelf. But...It's still there.

Just because it photographed not very nicely in the image above...Catlin Elm.

Still a work in progress. But today we lifted 850 pounds of granite by hand to make the first one. Tomorow i will make another one.

Things are getting real when you bust up your BBQ to make room for your bonsai

It’s not fancy but it has worked for me

Lmao I contemplated this. I have a stack of pallets and blocks!

 

[Trenthany]

Today. Don't pay attention to the rare orange Jack pine.
Now these is some benches!
This is a shot from the road. They are just 30 feet from the edge. I welcome would be thieves. My dog thinks everything here is his. He will eat a strangers ass faster than you can eat a bag of salted peanuts.View attachment 192828
They hold up trees plain and simple.
Easy to add more.
Easy to rearrange.
I actually take them down in winter.

You must be southern with that turn of phrase!

Found some good folks getting rid of a few thousand pouds of slate, so it's gonna be a back breaker weekend! I already popped off 3 trip, not bad after a work day!View attachment 243760View attachment 243764

I feel your pain. I’ve gotten I don’t know how much limestone for my pond. I’m going to set up an aquaponics type setup once ponds are sealed and holding water again. Use a holding tank to hold waste and periodically flush through filter plants and media. Other parts of holding water will be used in irrigating bonsai for free fertilizer and water as well.

Got my shade netting (40%) up this weekend, finishing off my small townhouse bench.

The front shade panel will be off most of the time, it’s more for thunder storm protection in summer. We have heavy thunderstorms with hail where I live in South Africa.

All panels are attached with 6mm bungee cord and have my own DIY quick release mountings
