Truck Tailgate Bench

After a nice afternoon kiting in the Delta, I was sitting on my tailgate checking out people surfing, and decided wanted a more comfortable seat for this type of scene. Here is a photo from that afternoon:



In typical fashion, I got carried away and built a teak bench for the tailgate...

Along with a flagpole and some custom cushions...




This is going to be EPIC for Stanford football games.

1991 Ford F350

Ever since I started doing carpentry, I have wanted a truck. Actually I wanted one even before that, but this gives me a good excuse.

So now I am the proud owner of a 1991 Ford F350 XLT Lariat, single cab full bed, with the 7.5L engine. 400 ft*lbs of torque... and plenty of towing capacity to move a boat around. (Someday.)
