Cut List

2 - 2x10 @ 31 1/2" (Back Boards)

2 - 2x10 @ 15 1/2" (Base Boards)

2 - 2x10 @ 17" (Seat)

Instructions

You will want to join your adjacent boards for this project, prior to assembling. I suggest staggering your attachments and placing equal number of Pocket Holes on either board slightly offset from one another to avoid creating a curve in your boards over time.

You have the option to miter the front edge of you seat, this is not required however if you decided against this step you will need to shorten the length of the vertical front boards by 1 1/2" and allow the seat to rest on top of them. The miter is purely aesthetic an does not lend to it's stability.

Before beginning to build, always check in on my site to make sure you have the most up to date set of plans, I occasionally update and change the plans to make the building process easier or to allow for less expensive purchasing of materials!

Read through the entire set of instructions and all comments before beginning this project. If you print out or save plans, be sure to check in on my site to be sure you have the most up to date set of plans, as I occasionally update things for ease of building or buying. If you are new to building, read through the GETTING STARTED section and other articles found under the BUILD tab in the menu on my site, it has valuable information about how to get started, tools and techniques. If you are unfamiliar with the finishing process, visit my Finishing school for some tips and tricks for painting like a pro and for special finishing practices.

Use glue to secure your joints and Consider Painting or Staining individual sections prior to assembling. This makes the paint application virtually flawless. Coat with a spray on Poly or Wipe on Poly to protect your finish and your piece and it will last for ages. Adhere to all safety standards and guidelines, and be sure you follow safety protocol throughout your build. If you are unsure about whether you are building safely, run a quick online search for the tool or technique you are using, or contact me via email or post to the forum before you move ahead. My contact info can be found in the menu of my site.

Step 1

Attach your Back Boards to each other staggering your Pocket Holes. Do the same for your Front Boards, the Base Boards, and the Seat. Miter the Seat and Front Boards if you are choosing to do so. Create your Pocket holes for fastening these 'pairs' to each other as well. Then fasten the Back Boards to the Base Boards and the Base Boards to the Seat.

Step 2

Step 3

Fill any Pocket Holes that remain, sand and finish as desired! That's it, this is easy as pie...

Finishing Instructions

Fill any Screw, Nail or Pocket Holes, Sand and Finish as Desired. For Finishing Tips and Tricks visit my Finishing School
