dads christmas present in the making
Well i like giving my family members things i have built as holiday gifts. this year the ol' man is getting a dodge tailgate bench. picked up the tailgate from a local wrecking yard a few yrs back and its just been hanging on the wall in the garage. so i decided it would make for a pretty cool patio bench. here are the progress pics.
the seat frame.
then i got the rear legs and back support finished.
gotta build the front legs and the arm rests yet but i think its going to be pretty cool. the seat portion will be done in wood planks with the steel strips like in old truck beds.
