Introduction

This project uses cedar, but redwood would work just as well. If you decide to use treated lumber, only make the base assemblies from it and use cedar or redwood for the seat slats. When buying lumber, look for pieces that are straight and have the fewest knots, especially knots that are on the edge of the board. Note that dimensional cedar (2x4s for example) may be more difficult to find at your local home improvement center or hardware store, so you may need to visit a lumber yard.

Step 1

Project Cut List

End Legs – four at 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 16-1/2"

Legs – eight at 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 16-1/2"

Long Front Aprons – two at 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 25-1/2"

Short Front Apron –one at 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 18-1/8"

Long Back Aprons – two at 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 25-1/2"

Short Back Apron – one at 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 18-1/8"

End Aprons – six at 3/4" x 3-1/2" x 11"

Seat Braces – three at 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 13-1/2"

Outer Seat Slat 1– two at 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 31-1/2"

Inner Seat Slat 1 – two at 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 24"

Step 2

Cut the Legs

Cut the outer legs. Two will be used on each outer end of the bench (the base assembly). Follow the layout in Image 1.

Then cut the inner legs, refer to the dimensions in the cut list.

Step 3

Cut the Apron Pieces

The aprons are rails used to connect the legs and support the seat. Use the layouts and to create the long and short front aprons. Refer to the cut list above for the exact sizes of the aprons.

To cut the radii on the inside corners of the front aprons, use a half-dollar coin or something of similar size .

For marking the top arc, use a thin strip of wood or a flexible metal ruler. Drive in nails or brads to hold the wood strip or ruler in place while marking. Use a jigsaw to cut the front apron pieces to shape.

Step 4

Attach the Apron Pieces to the Legs

Position an end apron flush against two legs (Image 1) and attach using glue and 2-1/2" pocket-hole screws. Build two assemblies.

Place a scrap piece of 1-by material (3/4-inch thick) underneath the short front apron and positioned flush against two end apron assemblies and attach using glue and 2-1/2" pocket-hole screws.

Position the short back apron flush against the end apron assemblies and attach using glue and 2-1/2" pocket-hole screws.
