sugar fixJust found this and bro you got it going on, hope you still use it. Just what I am looking for, However, would you be so kind as to add some dimensions with it or add a picture of the underside for us less than lumber experienced people.

Give us some dimensions please. Height, width, depth and the width/depth of the cutout. I have a perfect spot for one just like it. Nice job!

Good morning. I apologize but I have been stuck at the hospital for the last 3 days. Here’s some info on the bench. Please bear in mind that it’s now a bit old & I was actually planning to restore/update it as soon as I have a minute.
I believe it’s a good design, but my needs have changed a bit. My old chroni broke & I bought an FX branded pocket chroni that doesn’t require the telescoping tabletop. However, I may keep that feature because it helps when doing videos & I want to have the camera out further.
I hardly use the “left hand” side but helps even when I need to take a shot off to the side, I can rest my elbow. I think it needs to be a wee bit wider.
I used new wood & never let it rest, so now it has gaps. I will be fixing that on the upgrade, but be aware of that if you make your own.
The chair in the picture doesn’t work out as well either. Next build will have a small stool.

Thanks, Bro, still supper nice would expect nothing less from mother nature. Thank I will drill some 1" holes through the back legs and use stainless steel bar stock to mount a bench seat on that would make it movable for height adjustment. Using reclaimed wood from equipment shipping platforms. Might have enough plywood for a top cover will wait and see.

Thanks for the details, we are getting ready to build a bench. Maybe lumber will come down one of these days.
