Rather than dumping this antique, I thought that a garden seat would be in order.
Recycled my Workmate + me and the wee dog

I like it. It's still has the look and feel, while being fully transformed. Good workmanship and fast great creativity.

Excellent idea and very creative. My wife watched Flea Market Flip where people re-purpose ordinary items.

Cool, but shouldn't you have included at least a small bit of segmenting?

I am now looking at my old workmate with a fresh perspective. I use mine outside mostly, for spray painting, or clamping PVC pipe for cutting, etc. My workmate has served me well over the last 20 years, but I like the idea of retiring it to a garden seat - that would be a great repurpose for it.

I hate hearing my things being referred to as antique or vintage.

Interesting outlook. Many things in my search for products, I celebrate that they are antique or vintage. We each look at things differently though and that is a great part of the human experience.

They are getting harder to find! Picked one up at a garage sale for $5.

I have two in my shop that I still use once in a while. Great work on converting into a chair.

Give the guy a break, there's three segments in the middle !!!
Didn't see the antique until final picture though
but dog seems happy with him so can't be a bad job.
Cheers Alan and pat your pup on our behalf

To clarify, I hate things I bought new being called vintage, or antique.
