| David, I can't take credit for the back, it's a reworked twin bed head board,I did fabricate the bench & upholster the seat. |

| Ever since you showed your first bed bench conversion I have been looking for an old metal bed. Husb. was a welder so if thats needed we could do it. I love the victorian look to a bench made from metal bed.
If you eve come across one let me know please. I am in Clermont and I don't think thats a world away from you.

| good idea Bonnie, I never thought of using a metal headboard, I've picked up a lot of them in the past & used them as decor along my fence, too rusty to use them now.
