I've been thinking of redesigning my bench for what seems like years. My old bench was designed after I found that weaving benches were extremely expensive to purchase. Wow I sure could not afford $400 for a bench to sit and weave! On the other hand weaving in a chair was not the best solution. Since I already started to make some other weaving tools for the same reason (the cost) I decided to design and make myself a bench. Well having a bench was great but I found that my design was just to much of a pain to adjust the height so I rarely did. Well like I was telling you, I've been thinking about resigning my bench to make adjusting the seat quicker. I looked at several benches and took the best of each one for my new design. Here it is. :) I am so happy with this one. I started selling this a few months ago on my Etsy Handywoman store.
I'm offering a large and a small version of this new design.
I've sold this bench a few times already so I finally ordered templates so I could easily make the hole and round the tops so that they will all be exactly the same. I found a company that laser cuts acrylic sheets. :) The expense was well worth it.
A couple ladies painted their new benches and sent me pictures. I love seeing pictures of what people do with my weaving tools.
This one was before I decided to round the tops of my benches.
And this customer rounded the tops for herself....and is the reason I now round the tops of my benches. Best customer EVER!
