Chrismas benches

For Christmas this year we wanted to give the kids something that would last awhile and that would help them remember this Christmas. Brian and I decided to build each of the families a bench from all the antiques that we have around our place. With the help of Brooke, Nich, and Jared we were able to finish all of them Christmas Eve.

Picture of one of the benches. One bench has 26 used horseshoes, 2 hames, and a singletree. Brian and Nich built all the wheels using used horseshoes as the spokes. All the lumber we had around here that Jared cut, sanded and finished. We had a great time building them and Brooke and Nich didn't know they were building their own Christmas present.
