A complete leg is an assembly consisting of a Front Leg (24
″
angled) and Rear leg (11 ½
″
angled).
You will need a straight edge to help align the legs. An
easy way to do this is to stack the lumber which makes the
Seat and Back on top of each other, then clamp them to a
work bench.
Another option, if you are working on the floor, would be
butt them against a wall. You can also tip the Back on its
edge and use it (shown in this photo).
Next, lay the two Front Legs on the large flat work surface;
with the bottoms against the straight edge. They should
be making a big triangle-like shape, with the bottoms of
the legs flat against the guide/wall/straightedge.
Important:
Make sure to do this on a big smooth
surface, like a large work bench.
Note:
You are building the legs on their sides, to make
them easier to assemble.
Put the (2) 11 ½
″
Rear Leg pieces on top of the Front Legs.
Note:
Alignment of the Rear Legs will be easier if you
slip a piece of scrap 2-by material under the ends of the
Rear Legs, as shown in the photo.
