DIY - Restoring an old Potting Bench

Hi! armature DIY'er here. Unfortunately some of the early footage was lost due to the camera dropping and the recording becoming corrupted. I had to saw off one of the legs because the rot had already damaged too much of the wood. Also the footage of sanding/scraping the old paint off was lost.

From what I was able to research, this piece of furniture is considered a potting bench and it was left behind by people who have moved out of an apartment I was hired to renovate. I thought this would fit well for my porch. Hope you like the end result. FYI I worked with what I had, so if some approaches seem unnecessarily complicated, keep that in mind.

But I still appreciate any hints or tips. Btw I was debating to do a commentary on this but I was told, a lot of people prefer the ASMR of just the sounds. I hope the low background music isn't too much distraction. Let me know ;)
