"Swinging Bench" From Old Rake
Old hay rakes make dandy two-seater "swinging benches," says Rich DeVries, Forreston, Ill., who made a bench with a large vinyl canopy.
  The swinging bench measures 7 ft. wide and mounts on the rake's 4-ft. dia. steel wheels. A small table with cup holders is located between two large padded seats. The entire unit is held steady by a pair of V-shaped steel legs, one on each side.
  "It's a comfortable place to watch the sun rise in the morning," says DeVries. "The big wheels make it easy to roll around. I work with a missionary group and sometimes make presentations inside our shop, where we have a movie screen. I set up folding seats inside the shop and also roll the swing in there. I also move it every time we mow our lawn.
  "I paid $100 for the canopy at Walmart."     Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Rich DeVries, 10606 N. Hollywood Rd., Forreston, Ill. 61030 (ph 815 938-3393 or 815 238-4494; email: RichDeVries@aol.com).
