Great afternoon picnic table and benches project
I purchased 8 benches - 4 for our house and 4 as house warming gifts for friends who relocated to the country. These benches were a breeze to put together. After thinking it over I decided to incorporate 2x6s in place of 2x4s where I could to prevent warping. 2x6 lumber fits perfect into this construction. I've attached photos above - check 2x6 construction. the 2x4 braces below make for solid shake-free benches. I sanded and finished mine with three coats of Thompsons "Honey Gold" tint Watersealant. After this summer and winter in OK I'll report back on how well these held up. All construction so far has been 6 feet long.
You have to realize it's wood you're working with and prepare accordingly. Measure to get the most of each cut from the length wood you buy. I purchased #2 Douglas Fir - it's a bit stronger than framing lumber.

Not really programmable but better than average quality.
This cooker has a digital timer that you can set to cook at your chosen setting (Simmer Low High) for any time up to 24 hours. At the end of the set cooking time it automatically switches to Warm and then switches itself off after another eight hours. IMO a truly "Programmable" cooker would change heat settings during cooking and perhaps have a delayed start function; this unit does neither.
On the other hand the Simmer setting is what's missing from some other slow cookers and perhaps that's why foods get burned. This cooker heats to 185°F on Simmer 200°F on Low 212°F on High and 165°F on Warm. Some cook books including Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Cookbook assume that Low is 180°. 180°F is the oven temperature I've always used for slow cooking a leg of lamb London broil and other roasts so the lower Simmer setting is something I appreciate.
The stainless steel housing glass lid control panel and ceramic pot are all nicely constructed and finished - nothing's cheap-looking or flimsy - and looks like they'll last for years. The 3-1/2qt oval pot holds a 2-1/2lb chuck roast without the meat touching the sides and there's enough room for a layer of vegetables (a couple of cups chopped) a layer a meat a couple inches thick and new potatoes on top. You could cook a complete meal in this for three or four people. Mine is a one-person household and this is the ideal size for me; anything smaller wouldn't make enough leftovers.
The included cookbook has nutritional information - number of servings calories carbs fat protein sodium and more - for all 50 recipes. I gave it four stars instead of five because it's not what I consider programmable but I'm very pleased with it for the price.
