Making a bench at home!!!!!

Well setting up at home is proving trickier than I had first thought! I am really missing the workshop facilities I had at Uni!!! So anyway, with money being rather short and in need of a bench to work on, I thought I would make my own(well with the help of my lovely dad)!!! We are using wood my dad had in his garage, every penny counts!So this is how its going so far.......

I'm holding a skipping rope here, very technical device, to pull the frame tight at the front!
