But the work is soothingly neat. Can almost smell the wood.

Of course it did..............

For some reason, I managed to use some hardwood timber for the front slats in most of those for holders, which meant pre-drilling to avoid splitting. With the use of PVC pipe, all are set at 500mm, but I can then extend the pole with a joiner to suit different bench heights. Because the timber is not painted, they won't last forever, but I can replace them as needed going forward. I actually made up a jig to quickly assemble them. All up, I've made about 17 of them now.

Not shown, the bruised index finger I slammed with a hammer trying to pull apart a particularly recalcitrant pallet, or the infected thumb I skewered with a slipped Phillips head driver.
