Bench
Bench No.4 - 48" x 32" x 32".
Table or work bench made from scrap wood nailed together, with two integrated shelves below. The top is made of three boards. One corner of the work top has become detached in the past and has been nailed back in place. The corner of the central board in the work top has been lost and a cork has been put over a nail protruding from this board. The table wobbles. The top shelf is made from very thin wood with a central batten on the upper surface. The bottom shelf is made from three pieces of wood, of different widths and thicknesses, with a gap between each one nailed at each end to cross pieces between the legs. Supports run diagonally from the legs towards the centre of the table top and the front right support has two 'F's painted on it, which can be seen in some of the photos taken in the workshop.
