(FT Bench: FrankaTizian 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


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?])



will it need braces? maybe on one side to make it more stable and leave an entrance for the shelf space?





maybe the boards for seating & shelf space can be detached and the bench disassembled for storage? (unstable?)

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 bucksaw (in German 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.
