Here is a portable bench from @cynthiaspicklepot - “I was doing a spot as a resident artist at a one-day festival, so needed a portable bench. As it was just the day, I decided DIY would be better than a bigger investment. I used cutting/serving boards from Kmart and a couple of pot plant saucers. I added timber decorative moulding to stop things sliding off. The handles on the serving board were also excellent for hanging my pliers. I sawed away the entire day without any hassle!” Thanks for sharing this with us Cynthia, love the idea of doing this on a vacay or when traveling at a show! If you have a bench idea you want to share please email me! Tips@metalsmithsociety.com #jewelersbench #makingjewelry
