Great job. So practical and yet very good looking and functional. Great video.

Glad you like it!

Omg! The best potting bench ive seen on you tube!

I'm a bit late to the party but I wanted to say how much I appreciate the thoughtfulness and efficiency of your design. I'm in the process of building a new potting bench myself and came across this video during my research. I'm also especially pleased with the recycling you have done - we have a lot of pallet wood available in my area, and far too much of it gets trashed or burned - I use it all the time for out-door projects, but few are as elegant as yours. One thing I have on my old bench - similar to yours in the use of the plastic bins for soil - is a sifting screen that fits over the bin. When you are changing soul in a pot it is very helpful to be able to sift out any rocks or roots, and then that "used" soil can easily be returned to the garden or re-nutrified with compost and used for another planting of annual crops. I know a lot of people don't put much thought into utilitarian furniture - for many, a decent sized flat surface is sufficient - but the attention to detail that you put into this build will no doubt be rewarding for many years - and yes, I can foresee a few afternoons when some ice in those bins might be quite advantageous. Well done, and thank you for posting this!

Still going strong!

Love this. The double sink is such a useful feature. Well done, I bet your wife was thrilled with it!!

[@DavidAbela]

It’s been extremely useful and versatile. We both use it a lot. Only thing I would change is larger wheels.

[@kimberly-mo5cp]

@@DavidAbela Great to hear it. Larger wheels can be added later on. You should make and sell these, they'd be popular, especially before Christmas

Wondering how it is working, worried that the slids might get clogged with dirt
