My attempt at a bench







Here is my attempt at a tailgate bench. I made this for my daddy, who gave me my truck!! It a repurposed church pew. Not as much character as
bigwin56f100 but it will do. He loves it !!

Looks good. I've got a couple of diner booth seats and a tailgate from a 53 8' bed. Maybe I can make something happen.......
If I can find some ambition.

Looks great!

I have a couple of old tailgates. The problem with them is that it would take tons of work to make them presentable. If I was going to do that much work I'd have to put them on my truck....LOL

I guess they are relegated to being "wall art"

Great job on the bench, I'm glad your dad liked it.

The real question is can you stay awake while sitting in it. I do some of my best snoozing while sitting in a pew on Sunday morning.
