This is my progress on a custom bench that is for a mans wife that likes palm trees as well as her Pug and Black lab. The insert is coming along nice and after sandblasting the bench it will be painted gloss black.
many thanks to Bill at steel FX for contributing the dyes for the drawing, I said I would post pics to show them being used.
I will definitely buy more when I get low.

12 Ga, the trick is in adding 1 inch flat bar and 1 inch box tubing, in the right places, the seat and the back are bent twice to add strength, do it right and it is very strong. I go 260 lb and can't get it to budge.
