    Edd I know the HT is heat-treated so that is good no chemical but for the numbers I don't know, I had wood chipped blocks on one pallet easy to get apart with hammer and crowbar.

    I am looking forward to the pics Edd 

    Thanks artjak

    I have added the liner of the strawberry planter

    Well the potting table has got a little bit further this afternoon

    image

    Put the blocks on the bottom of the legs for the table, then put it on the trestles to see how it looks and if any needed doing

    It was a little high so the legs will go up past the top and help support the edging of the top of the potting table

    The bottom shelf has now got a an extra board put on cause not as wide as top so now both 90cms wide to help attach to the legs and stand up properly

    So will roughly look like this but not on the trestles - there is a nice knot hole in the top just right for the dibber tools - will take more pics as I go

    I only had a bit of time in the afternoon to have a go and it rained on me while hammer in nails but I wanted to get it done

    The garden table as promised.

    image

     Round topped table at 30 inches diameter. those were the legs i had planned to use. Thought they looked a little bulky so this is how it looks.

     Stil not happy with legs. Thinking of replacing them with one circular leg.

    No Expert like your table well done  - goes so well with your bench

    How did you make the table top circular?

    With a home made compass. A piece of wood with two holes 15 inches apart. Screw through one hole in middle of table. pencil through other and revolve. Cut with a jigsaw. sand down rough edges.

    Proper power tools then

    Been doing a bit more of the potting table put the legs on and support frame around the bottom area and got help from my dad with the shelf area -  still need to put the frame around the top edge

    Garden girl; everyone should have a jig saw; mine is a Bosch and has been useful for about the last 15 or 20 years. The power tool I really love is my hammer action drill; 42 years old and still drilling awayimage
