All dressed up!
Completed, but bare!
I included a rake head shelf, spicket knob, sprinkler towel holder, and enamel pan.
The rake head can be used to hang things and it can also hold things on top. 
All dressed up!

I just finished my first potting bench!  I used an old door for the back and lumber for the rest and painted to compliment the door.  I cut a hole in the top to hold an enamel bowl.  I added a rake head shelf/hooks, spicket knob, and vintage sprinkler towel holder.  I think it looks kind of fun all dressed up.

ANGELZ writes: What a nice piece! I am also working on my first potting bench an hadn't thought about the rake as a shelf but only as for hanging, great concept..can't find doors here, even old windows go for a lot, my piece seems to be going together with an old shutter and picket fence shelf..combinations are fun...keep colecting an ya never know what cool things will evolve..thanks for posting..vicki Posted: 1:47 am on May 11th

chiccottagejunk writes: Midge - this is wonderful! I really like your shelf and pegs made from garden tools. Yours is the most unique potting bench I've seen yet. I can't wait to see it in person next time I'm up - rather - I hope you sell it before I make it up again!
