I am still incredibly impressed with the wood shop machines that Maria, Peter, and I worked with. I did not realize 1) the beautiful wood that was underneath the old, weathered wood we found in the garden and 2) the extent of our/the machines' ability to restore this wood. I am impressed by how well the layers underneath were preserved, which makes me hopeful about how durable our bench will be out in the garden. I know we have so far to go and it is not going to be very easy, but I cannot wait to see the finished project. Showing everyone the picture of the wood before sitting in the garden in the same place it had sat for years and comparing that to the beautiful wood we have now will be very satisfying.
We have been doing some research in terms of the wheels/tires we will use for our storage bench. We are looking at both the environmental affects, durability, and ability of the tires/wheels to work in the mud. After seeing the tires (from a tricycle) that we had planned to use, does anyone have any input? Peter thinks that the current tires will be perfectly fine and we had planned not to buy any of our materials, but if we can't use these wheels we will have to buy bigger, more durable tires. However, this will effect the height of our bench and therefore, may delay our progress.
