MATERIALS & TOOLS
- Self-tapping screws
- Wood glue
- Pocket screws
- Sandpaper
Cut the below lengths from 2×4’s:
- 2 – 25 1/2″
- 2 – 25″
- 2 – 12 1/2″
- 2 – 23 1/2″
- 1 – 22″
- 1 – 18″
Cut the below lengths from 1×4’s (furring strips):
- 4 – 25″
STEP 1
Join the pair of 12 1/2′′ legs with the 18″ section using pocket holes, with 2 1/2′′ self-tapping screws, and wood glue.
STEP 2
Attach the back legs in the next step. Join the 22″ piece to the two 25 1/2″ pieces at 12 1/2″ from the bottom with glue and 2 1/2″ pocket screws. Attach a 25″ long section to the top of the 25 1/2″ units.
STEP 3
Attach the two 23 1/2′′ wooden pieces between the front and back legs with glue and 2 1/2′′ pocket screws.
STEP 4
Attach the 1 x 4’s to the top of the seat. Five 1 x 4’s are shown in the photo, but four will do just fine. I used 2″ brad nails and wood glue to assemble it. Add a 25″ board with 2 1/2″ screws to provide additional back support if required. Once the glue dries, sand lightly and seal with a water seal.
