Rustic log benches

[spandit]

Instead of just cutting up for firewood the big bits of Scots pine I was given, I thought I'd make some rustic benches:

Hard work with my little MS181 (14" bar) and full of admiration for the Jimny in towing them up the hill to where they needed to be

I fitted a front hitch so I could winch the logs up onto the trailer. They're now up at the fire site

Nice work. Those Jimnys are gutsy little 4x4s.

Great job on the benches! It is a mark of civilisation to have somewhere to deploy one's buttocks that is not the cold wet ground.

Really lucked out with the trailer. It's incredibly rugged - think it was for a generator or mobile lights so can take a lot if weight! Helped by the drainage work I did earlier means that I haven't lost traction. Writing this from inside the Jimny where if anything it's too hot

It's probably the engine over heating, after pulling that load!

Cool idea and nice Jimney!

The heaters in those little cars are amazing. Horrible to drive on the road but it's been SORN'd since I bought it as I only ever use it around the homestead
