Sewing Cabinet Potting Bench
November 28th, 2009 in member junk
Not my original idea, but I have made a couple of these potting benches out of those ubiquitous sewing machine cabinets from the 50s-60s. I just had to slightly modify the hole to access the space beneath and stabilize the hinged part of the platform. The hardest part was finding the right size tub to hold the potting soil. For this bench I found one at a restaurant supply store. On the other bench I added a shelf near the bottom for extra storage. Also added a chicken waterer to hold some tools.
