100_3151.jpg162 viewsMy first real bench - fake bench can be seen in the background (with one of Scott Grandstaff's wonderful persuaders sitting atop). This is a modification of Chris' French Bench.

The nuts are 4"X4" and 1-1/16" thick - seems like plenty of thickness. The maker threw in the third nut at no charge - I have 2 screws with a choice of 18" or 10" spacingRubyOct 21, 2011
