Greg, it's still more than three months to the Queen's Birthday long weekend when we will build those benches but I had to get a whole stack of timber for my other projects, so I got the 140x35, 90x35, and 42x18mm for the benches at the same time. It got us a better discount and also saved on delivery costs.
I've trundled out the old TRITON bench and cut the 90x35mm into lengths of 550mm and 700mm which I will take to a joinery shop in the Bay where they can be shaped on a large bandsaw.
I bought enough timber for three benches: one for you, one for me, and one for the Queen if you want to give her a belated birthday present!
