    Thank you for sharing this video! I bought a cast iron bench just like this model at a garage sale but it was only the cast iron pieces. It didn't have any wooden pieces. Could you tell me how I would go about measuring and cutting out the top part of the backrest on the bench? Everything else I think I could do. This would be my first solo DIY project.

    Sold !!! It’s so good to have help someone to hold the camera I wish😂. Haha. Lost clips☹️
    That puts us back on even playing ground.
    I really like the projects I wonder why. 🤷‍♂️.
    I’ve seen people try to make the Patina. 👈 is that how it spelled? Who really cares.
    Hay Dee.. sup
    Looks like we might get some rain huh
    Looking forward to YOU catching a mole ……..live🤝. I know they be around 😂😂 not a challenge😂

    Here comes another view because it took me so long to write this
    I just got home from old Salem going to make a small video on that. And maybe take some time off. Just need to find my second wind

      Hey Jerry!!
      Haha yep, we sure did. Camera problems are the worst!! Especially when you forget to press play or it overheats and you have no idea. We were originally getting some rain but now that it shifted we may not over here. My in laws are currently near the eye of the hurricane. They live in Charlotte County. Hope they make it out okay.
      Thank you Jerry for your support, I look forward to your next video and don't feel bad for taking a break!! I dont anymore and it's much needed.
      Take care

      I’ve got a reply to this. Just today at old Salem. I was capturing clips of this old lady making bread. Little did I know every time I hit the button I paused it and then when I was done recording I hit record and held my phone at my leg. Ugg. Three great clips of my pants. And her talking to me in the background. 😤. After I got done with my single Street tour
      I noticed it and had to go all the way back on foot…. Then my phone died
      😤😤😤. She was kind enough to let me use hers and send it to myself
      💝. She was very nice dressed like a Little House on the Prairie kid.
      When the place is fully open they have people churning butter blacksmithing all of it.
      Anyway I get the camera Probz
      I’ll pray for your family

      Friends and neighbors. Sorry about the delayed reactions. Some thing about bad weather …. I’m getting plenty of rain now. I’ll post any flooding I get, I’ve already got a Weather video so no biggie.
      It’s kind of like gardening 🤣🤣🤣
      I think I break all of the niche rules

      I love the lists, just add to them like each ones it’s own separate channel
      Glad to hear the damage is superficial. Today was supposed to be my seed day but I’m gonna have to back this program up. Hehe

    Picked one up at a garage sale almost like yours! The wood is in bad shape and I got as far as disassembling it, but lacking a table saw I put it in a corner. Now you’ve given me the incentive to finish the project. Beautiful job, thanks for your ideas!
