I got tired of kneeling on the ground or using the top of our recycling bin to do things like spray lacquer or paint or even just work on something outside. I've had this chunk of cedar sitting on my driveway for at least 3 years and it was probably too cracked to turn a large bowl out of so finally decide to make a simple bench out of it.
I sliced off the bottom, drilled some holes and then turn some tenons on some cedar branches that I had laying around and sliced the the top off.
You've heard of a saw horse or even a saw buck but how about a saw pig?
It was fine as a proof of concept but it was just tool low so I sawed some longer legs out of some live oak also laying on my driveway, sliced the belly off the pig and made something a little more useful.
Nothing fancy but it will save my back and knees from stooping and kneeling.
