(FT Bench: __F__ranka__T__izian Bench; fka Hammer Bench)\\ sketches: \\ \\ maybe it would need bases / supports at the feet so it can't "zusammenklappen"? maybe I'm underestimating the sturdiness of wood\\ \\ \\ {{::ft_bench_sketch.png?400 |}} rough bench sketches (looks kind of picnic-y. has the shelf space at half height of the original H.A.M.M.E.R. bench, might get the backrest of it as well [although resting against a side might create a leverage effect and make it unstable?])\\ \\ {{::tf_bench_simple.png?400 |}}{{:ft_bench_braces.png?400 |}}\\ \\ will it need braces? maybe on one side to make it more stable and leave an entrance for the shelf space?\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ {{::ft_auflageflaeche.png?400 |}} maybe the boards for seating & shelf space can be detached and the bench disassembled for storage? (unstable?) \\ {{::ft_bretter1.png?400 |}}{{:ft_bretter2.png?800|}} //Here is some feedback to your bench//: - That's a good transformation from the H.A.M.M.E.R. bench to the picnic-esque bench and the detail of the small shelf works well.\\ - The wood itself is very sturdy. - But indeed, it might get shaky with more horizontal elements or braces. One option could be to produce the A-shaped legs and the tabletop first (keeping some wood on the side). Then put them together and see how you should place stabilizing beams.\\ - The idea of a detachable bench is good, but i have no precise solution for this with hammer and nails. One thing that comes to mind is the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bow_saw|bucksaw]] (in German [[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestells%C3%A4ge|Gestellsäge]]) which creates a strong frame by using tension. But this might get a bit complicated. \\ - Here is a sketch with horizontal boards attached to the legs. On those, boards could be resting that serve as shelf. {{:ft-bench_feedback_01.jpg?direct&900|}} \\ \\ \\ -/-------------------------------/- \\ ./ /. \\ /-------------------------------/^ \\ ^|\ \| \\ |/------------------------------/- \\ /------------------------------/-\ \\ / \ f.t. bench? / \ \\
