    Love this, would love if you could show us how to make an outdoor cupboard which is waterproof. So like a tiny bike shed but too small for bikes . I want to make one that’s 3.5 ft high and about 5 foot wide but all the plans I see for outside storage are either big sheds or storage boxes with gaps for maybe covered terraces or poolside toys….. also many require expensive jig tools and I’m a complete beginner. I will do this potting table, thank you!!!

    I simply love your potting bench build! You are awesome for working in over 100 degree heat. It is hard and that’s one of the reasons I moved back here to California. Keep posting your fantastic videos.

    Good grief! You bought 13 2×4’s!?! May I ask how much you paid for each ’cause here in Columbus, Georgia they are $5.82 each! Beautiful potting bench though! Love the accent hardware!

    How much did everything cost to build? I’m debating which would be cheaper, build or buy.

  13. Cesar Lopez on November 4, 2021 at 9:57 am

    Great job! If I made a longer bench would I need to add any extra support?



  14. Bob Cohen on November 4, 2021 at 9:57 am

    I love your potting bench and want to build one. I have been unable to find the plans and cut list mentioned in your video and on your website. Can you direct me as to how I could find the plans and cut list.Thanks
