Bulk rubbish

A friend asked if I could do something with his find in the street, the answer is, of course, yes. He is a great one for recycling and up-cycling and this was potentially a scandalous waste.

Before restoration. Rusted fixings that damaged adjacent timber.  The slats had never been treated and the bolts had rusted to the bench ends.
Found in the street

It took three weeks to work on two benches, so, forty eight hours for this bench which was the easier of the two. Other costs were: A2 fixings, sand blasting, primer, paint and linseed oil.
