In this video I show how I made formed concrete dovetails using one 80 lb bag of QUIKRETE 5000 cement.  The seat was made from one single wide White Oak board.  The portability of the bench is simple, just loosen the turnbuckle, pull the pins from the legs' tails, and move the two (or three) components easily.
This project was for the #QUIKRETE1BagWonder Challenge.
