I love what you did here! At 61 years old, I really appreciate not having to bend over to water and tend to plants. It's a fabulous design. Could you do a video, a tour of all your plants? I am sure we would all love to see them and it would be a great way for you to keep track of the growth of your trees if you did the tours like once a year or so.

Adam, you clearly enjoy bonsai, it shows on your face. I can't help but smile just watching your enthusiasm. Love the benches.

Aw thank you Mary 🤗🌳♥ I do love it!

You can also get a bit of string or wire between small gap between the planks to tie any pots to the bench if you feel they might blow over . Looks great

Omg this was such a great video. I mean, building a bench isn' hard. But turning it into a multifunctional bonsai space is such a great idea!! Great video, and can we PLEASE have an update on your tree collection? 👉🏻👈🏻

Well made. The video as well as the bench.

No Adam, you are not a carpenter ... but you envisioned it, planned it, organized materials, experimented with tools ... AND BUILT IT! Excellent! Such a massive improvement over cluttered stuff on the floor. You can even put more storage shelving underneath. a tarp or old mini blinds along the front the block of the visual of clutter even more. That'll make the landlord happy too!

Brilliant little set of display benches and should make your life easier. I do love that rose Adam :)

A few years ago I made a rather complicated bench. I intended to make one early this year but didn’t. Now I am glad I waited. I really like your design Adam!

Awe nice! I love Peter and Nigel's videos too!! 🤗Good luck with your Bonsai bench!

I love that Haws watering can. After seeing how much Nigel S. liked his I wanted to give it a try. Two years ago every place online was sold out and it seemed that the particular model had been discontinued. Luckily after a few months of searching I found a place in Canada that was selling them but I had to pay extra for International shipping (Living in U.S.) but after getting the watering can I realized it really is as nice as Nigel says it is and was worth it. Glad to see Haws is still making them as I have seen a few new places online selling them again and buying a backup can is tempting, or 2.

You’re doing great!! Can’t wait to see how your Bonsai art grows.

Hi Adam, saw this video when it got out, but now I want to make a bench. So your video inspired me. Do you have anything in mind, you would have done differently after almost 8 months of using it ? Still happy with it or already have made any improvements ? I ordered cinder blocks and similar wooden planks and planning on making it into a bench in a couple of days. Thank you for the inspiration and advice 🙏🍀

You can certainly tell your not a builder 😂 but the end result will do ya nicely bud great job 👍 really love your recording and editing skills 👍 wish my videos came out as good as yours 😊👍

Great job ! I have to put a no more order as I’m out of room !

Looks nice! A coat of exterior varnish, boiled lindseed oil or simmilar would help to protect the wood even further

Currently I have a budget friendly bench of pressure treated 2x6 boards stretched across 2 saw horses, and a low raised step bench made of 4 blocks standing up and 2 laying down with an oak wood pallet I cut in half (half on top step and half on the lower step). Very low to the ground but keeps the plants off the ground and a little easier to take care of. Also fits perfectly in a small area next to my shed door.

Great job Adam! Definitely you will enjoy your trees up on a shelf. 👍

Hi Adam! i purchased 21 cinder blocks from home depot yesterday. my decking boards will be delivered tomorrow. i will let you know how it goes. i am customizing the build to suit my needs and situation. i appreciate the simplicity and versatility of your design. i am not "handy" at all , but you inspired me to try something new

Ohh nice!! 😊🌱 How did it go for you??

I would treat the cut ends of your decking boards with end grain seal, other wise rot will get into the exposed untreated centre of the boards. Various companies manufacture it. Made my staging with the same materials 18 years ago. I give it a coating of decking stain each year. This year I stripped the build up back to the original surface and retreated it.

thats not a bad price for each of those adam. i was just talking to my old lady the other day about these type of benches. i need to replace my old table with the mdf top thats not going to make it long out doors lol. thanks! now i can show here this video and she can see what i meant
