Yeah yeah, side tracked again...
With the all the good weather over Easter...
I was inspired to make this..
But it rained all this weekend while making this slab bench, can't be sunny all the time.... ;)
Note the string line and level for marking the leg height and angle..., Also called a slab pig from way back in the day in old logging camps or bunk houses....;b
Looks great. I've been meaning to build one of those for a while just have not come across a suitable log. Got a four foot chunk of eastern white pine last fall but it was quite knotty and sappy, and not the best choice. I split it and set it to dry over winter. See what comes of it as the snow clears away.
ReplyDeleteThanks..
DeleteI hope it's still usable when the snow clears..
"Slab pig" is a new one for me. Guess I've learned something today.
ReplyDeleteI've always heard them called pigs but they might have just dropped the slab part. Here is my favorite Mr Logcabinlooms in North Dakota making one.

ReplyDeleteI just watched that ..
ReplyDeleteHe's a cool guy.... ;)
Check out his channel he has a lot of interesting stuff. Some times he goes off a bit commie when he delves in to political commentary but otherwise hes ok and his delivery is quite pleasant.
