I just ordered a bench. A made to measure wooden job for the garage to be precise. To be even more precise it’s 1400mm  long, 580mm wide (deep?) and 1050 high with a 44mm thick top.

Every bloke should have a bench. I particularly need one because two Christmases ago I got a vice. It’s bloomin’ heavy and needs a solid bench to sit on. Never used it other than once last summer to straighten out some tent pegs. Just seemed the right thing to have. Soon my vice will have a permanent home instead of just sitting in its box on a shelf in the garage.

Once my bench is in place I will have to make sure I have all the right tools – circular saw springs to mind but I’m sure there will be others that I need. I will only find out when the bench appears and I know how much space I really have.

The garage is undergoing a makeover, as they say on reality TV fix my house up and redo my curtains programmes. First thing I did was replace the extremely dim energy saving bulb installed by Mrs Davies some time ago but which gave off so little light that we needed a torch every time we went to look for something in the garage.

Then I bought a moveable bike rack from Halfords. They had sold out of the brand new ones so I got an ex display model for 25% off (I asked for 50% but hey…). It’s in perfect, “as new” , nick. You will also note from the picture that the top box has moved up the wall using an innovative hook and chain combination to maintain its position. Reg from B&Q, the guy who sold me the Makita drill, suggested the method and it works by golly. Thanks Reg. Works a treat.

Next up then is the bench which I am expecting to get delivered on Saturday if it is the will of a Greater Being (Postman Pat). In researching this post I looked up the manufacturer’s eBay shop. If you want to buy anything else made from wood he does it all. Products are named to work well for SEO. I list some of them here:

wooden bondage stocks fetish spanking
bondage cage fetish kinky fifty shades
Chicken Feeding Station, Field Shelter
2.4m x 1.2m work bench 8×4
garden planter seat bespoke sizes available
spanking horse whipping bench bondage kinky
bondage cross dungeon spanking furniture
solid wood floating wine rack
solid wood floating shelf shelves

Came as a bit of a surprise but hey. A bondage fetishist has to get his or her equipment from somewhere and what better material than a nicely sanded wood. I did think about asking the joiner what proportion of his sales were bondage products. Didn’t think it would be striking up the right kind of conversation somehow. Who can blame him though. We all have to earn a living. Adds a new dimension to the saying “where there’s muck there’s brass”. Innit. It would be interesting to see how he got into that product range in the first place. No it wouldn’t – stay out of there Tref 🙂

I’ll stick up a photo of the bench when it is in situ. I know some of you will be getting excited already. Pic of bikes in bike rack below – floor needs a bit of a clean – I think we will paint it when we put the bench in.
