Carving bench done


Second post today. I put this carving bench together in a day, using all treated lumber. It's fortified with several 6" lag screws so it will stand up to my heavier stones. To test it, I got up on it and jumped up and down, using all my weight. No movement in any direction, so I'm confident that it will support whatever I choose to put up there. This week sometime, that will be my piece of white marble, estimated weight 220 lbs. The piece I have planned is an open sort of form, so when it's done I should be able to lift and carry it by myself. We'll see!
