Quantity of 4 – 4 x 4 x 16 = Bench legs [I cannot cut 4 x 4’s. I’ll use 8 2×4’x and nail together.
Quantity of 5 – 2 x 4 x 11 = End pieces and sitting surface base
Quantity of 4 – 2 x 4 x 48 = Top (sitting surface)
Quantity of 2 – 2 x 4 x 44 = Horizontal pieces (from leg to leg)
Quantity of 4 – 2 x 4 x 14 = End of top surface sides (2 on each side)
Quantity of 1 – Box of 3 1/2″ Long wood screws
Quantity of 1 – Bottle of wood glue
The first thing we did was to attach the top sitting frame assembly together.
The 5 – 2x4x11″ and the 2 – 2x4x44″ pieces.
Next, we screwed the 4×4 legs into the top sitting assembly structure.
Secure these with 4 of the wood screws on each leg.
Using some wood glue here is also helpful to secure the pieces together.
