Doug,
Just noticed your free ad in ICAN. for that overgrown paperweight.
I've come up with a plan for a few of mine. Maybe you'll reconsider and want to make one for yourself.
I've been rebuilding the porch around the house the last few weeks. In a couple places I am going to put a bench and low table using these anchors as the legs.
I will bolt 2 of them to the deck. The top has a piece of flat metal bolted to it, maybe 8 inches long and 2 wide, with a couple holes drilled in it to allow screws into the underside of the wood top. Same idea for a bench with a backrest. Two pieces of flat metal 20 inches and 3 wide, are bent at less than 90 degrees . Bolted to the top of the insulator and screwed to the underside of the seat as well as into the back of the backrest.
For one bench I have a gnarly 4 ft section of an old pine tree cut in half lengthwise with a chainsaw. Sanded smooth it looks pretty good to me.
Of course with just one you might have to settle for a small round table......
yeah, yeah. I know. I keep sharing these ideas and pretty soon there will be more collectors after these things and then we will have to start paying for them
