Directions
Cut Leg Parts
Cut four Legs, and four Short Leg Fillers, and four Long Leg Fillers to length from 2 x 4 boards, as shown in the cutting
diagram. Sand the parts smooth.
Tip: Be Picky when Picking Boards
The base for this bench is made from 2x4 stud lumber. These boards are inexpensive, sturdy, and easy to cut. They’re not
always pretty, though. When you’re buying lumber, take your time and find boards that are straight, clean, and that don’t
have torn up edges. Even if you have to spend a while digging for boards, it will take a lot less time than you’d spend
sanding and trying to make bad boards look good. Plus, you’ll have an easier time building, and you’ll end up with a better-
looking bench.
Make the Bottom Rails
Cut two Bottom Rails to length from 2x4 boards, as shown in the cutting diagram. Drill 1/4"-diameter holes where shown.
Then, with your Kreg® Pocket-Hole Jig set up for 3/4" material, drill pocket holes along one edge of each Bottom Rail. Sand
the Bottom Rails smooth.
