We often complain about the lack of space in the kitchen, even for growing herbs by the window. And yet we can put our plants, for example, on a cleverly constructed bench.
It is only thanks to fresh herbs that each dish can be properly seasoned. However, most of us do not have our own garden and do not have enough space either, to ensure a supply of spring vegetables straight from the pot. To begin with, let's try to make better use of the kitchen window sill. Thanks to the bench we propose, we can easily double the area of our crops.
The bench is made of thick plywood 10 mm and pine slats with a cross section 1 x 2 cm. If you prefer to make a piece of furniture with a more noble appearance, while saving on priming and painting, should reach for mahogany slats, which are covered only with clear varnish and screwed with brass screws. According to the old woman, As a good carpentry rule, then all notches of the screw heads should be aligned parallel to the grain pattern of the wood.
If we have an electric jigsaw and additionally a workbench, we can saw both bases at the same time. In the absence of these tools, each part must be cut separately, using a hand jigsaw with a strong saw blade. A simple clamping device is useful for cutting and fitting the moldings.
