Sink bridge

[Boynutman]

I wanted a stable sink bridge and still had some discarded hard wood scraps left. Didn't want any fancy adjustment mechanisms so I tried to come up with a minimalist design, but still it needed to hold various sizes of stones. Tools I had available were a cordless drill, a saw and a simple hand plane.
What I ended up with is this, a plank with a slot and simple cork wedge to fixate to stone. The near side can be raised for comfort by putting something underneath.
I am not one for super nice finishing but the set up workes fine!

Nice! As you say - uncomplicated and effective .

Is the size adjustment done with the wedge then? So you could drill the slot longer if you needed it ever...

Exactly, I have a few cm's of adjustment range for shorter or longer stones (perhaps should have made the slot longer). I found that the stones have quite some friction on the (wet) wood, so the wedge doesn't have to do all that much.

It's functional and it works. Sometimes you don't have to over invent the wheel.
