Oh, I need to add that the refrigerator doors fit perfectly when I put them side by side on the back. Then I added an old wooden ladder pieces to the back for support. It was the exact perfect length! This project was meant to be! :o) Can't wait to share!

"AN....TI....CI....PATION!" (with such a great helper, you should be done soon! Love that sweet smile!) TFS! Jeanne S.

Just noticed Ben's shoes on the wrong feet! LOL! He's dressing himself now and so proud of it! Off to work on my potting bench! :o) Bear Hugs! Kirk

Tee hee! Shoes on the wrong feet were the first thing I noticed - love it! Can't wait to see the finished product!

I can't wait to see the finished bench! What you have looks very sturdy and strong.

And Ben sure is getting big! He's not a baby anymore. I didn't even notice his shows on the wrong feet. lol What a cutie!

YOU are such a tease Kirk!! NEED TO SEE!!! Looks like it will be a great potting bench. And that Ben is such a doll! Too funny about his shoes...my DD did that too for a while.

HURRY UP already!! 8D

Had to go back to my favorite country thrift store today to buy more iron pieces for this project. I'm adding a shelf on top to store things...also bought some iron doodads to hang my tools from. When I attached the wooden ladder pieces to the back, I saved the rungs from the wooden ladder. I attached these to the sides to hold towels. This project is so much fun! I have been so inspired by all of the potting benches posted lately. (Thank you!) I'm struggling with what color to paint/stain the potting bench... I did several swatches on the back and will go back and look as to what's my favorite... Can't wait to share! Bear Hugs! Kirk

FANTASTIC project!! And definitely a "meant to be". You collected such neat things to put together! I can't wait to see the finished product.

As for BenBear...I love him to pieces!

hugs, Karen

Little Ben is getting to be a big boy & daddy's helper too! Good bones as they say so should be a great potting bench with lots of useful extras. Can't wait to see the finished bench!! Jan

Very creative, but I was unsure when you were talking refigerator doors--I was picturing a sears or frigidare, but those look to be wooden doors, so help me understand, why are they refrigerator doors?

When I bought the doors from a housing salvage yard, they told me they were pulled from an old store's refrigerator units. I remember doors like these when I was younger when we bought our bottles of soda pop at a neighborhood store. The front part of the unit was glass with the doors in the back. They're heavy and have metal pieces on the back plus insulation tubing along the edges. Oh, what memories...I remember having to pull on the doors hard as the suction was so strong...and the sound of the doors closing... Those were the days... If theses doors could tell a story.

What a great project, it's going to be super. That's funny about going back to the junk store, when DH and I are working on something (a trellis this last weekend) we are constantly running back to the hardware store for something. Luckily we have an Ace right around the corner. Frou

I finished the potting bench tonight...I am pooped. :o) I am sure my wife wonders if I am even around! LOL Took all day to stain the various pieces. I added a shelf...found a piece of scrapwood in a free pile in our nearby town. Guess what? THE PERFECT LENGTH! I mentioned that I attached ladder rungs on the sides...didn't even have to cut them down. This project was meant to be. It's too dark now but I'll take some pictures tomorrow and post them on the forum. Bear Hugs! Kirk

You are SO right....this was definitely meant to be!

Well, Kirk, where is it?? I've been waiting all day. Sure you're in a different time zone and are 3 hrs. behind us on EST, but it is now 1:00 in the afternoon there - the sun has been up for quite some time now......Why are you making us wait?? LOL!
