Directions
-
Build the top & bottom of the frame
Cut the 2x2 pieces as shown on the cut list. Drill pocket holes on the 8-1/2" pieces, where the blue arrows point. Then assemble the pieces as shown, using 2-1/2" pocket screws. You will end up with two identical pieces that will make the top and bottom of the frame.
-
Put the top and bottom together
Drill pocket holes on the 14" inch vertical pieces and use them to put the two pieces together using 2-1/2" pocket screws. Make sure the pocket holes face the inside of the frame.
-
Attach the Seat
At this point I sanded and painted the frame. I used a metallic silver spray paint to give the wood the appearance of metal. I also upholstered the seat. Once the paint is dry and upholstery completed, I attached the frame to the seat using 2" wood screws as shown by the arrows. Tip: Visit the link under the "Extras" tab for more details, including video instructions for upholstering the seat.
Enjoy your bench!
