I simply built the bench Paul Sellers showed in the videos. For the tabletop i used spruce/fir 8cm by 8cm. The aprons and wellboard are same wood but 4cm by 8cm. The bench is 220cm long. For the legs i used 10cm by 10cm spruce/fir. The bench is also mobile as Paul’s is, just 12 screws hold it together. My working height is 103 cm as I am 183cm tall.
Dyed curly maple, tung oil, shellac top coat
Dovetail box made from yellow pine with shellac finish.
Old pine floor boards, as Paul’s tutorial except no decorative studs. Shellac and wax polish finish

Walnut and Cherry Breadboard End Cutting Board, mineral oil finish 9″ X 16″ X 1.5″
Walnut, finished with wiping varnish. This is a take on the open top dovetail box, modified with a lower opening for iPad, a clamp on rear to attach to music stand, and giftee’s initials and bass clef symbol carved on bottom. To be used to hold small items during practice sessions.
Curly maple finished with dye, wiping varnish, wax. This project taught me a lot about working with difficult wood gain. Sharpen, sharpen, sharpen, and use scrapers!
