As my skill set has evolved, I felt the need to make something original, difficult and so artistic that most people would not understand the effort and time involved in creating it. Yes- The Lover's Audio Bench. This was made early in my deck board and rail kit bending career and it took me awhile to complete it. I decided if any PVC product was to be installed on it, it must be modified. Even the 5" TimberTech post sleeves have a mild bend in them. 130 hours later you have an amazing outdoor work of art with 2000 watts of Audiobahn power, a Sony Bluetooth receiver with iPhone integration, a 10" MTX Sub in the bottom of the planter box and Sony 5" speakers in the posts.
At a recent home show, people were asking how much of an investment my bench was and then they would have to remain seated to absorb the price.
I would start to play something dynamic like Michael Jackson and as my potential clients realized that it played music, they would start to bob their heads, then I would turn up the volume. Loud. A gentleman who was relaxing on my bench yet snubbed me about the expense, now had a very large smile on his face. I turned down the volume before show management could, and asked the man what he now thought of my bench. "Worth Every Penney" he said and he refused to leave as his wife continued her way on the path of the home show. That man made my day.
Who's Bad Now?
