The seat will be about ½” to 1” forward. You want it
brought toward the front of the bench, so it overhangs a
bit.
Note:
The sharp corner should be sanded down when
you are done with assembly.
Drill two holes at the edge of the seat of the seat, about
½” from the ends, and 1 ½” from the front and rear edges,
making sure that the seat remains in its aligned position.
REPEAT
at the other end of the seat.
Note:
It will be a little difficult getting a large power drill
in close. A smaller drill will make the job easier.
Fasten the Seat to the Leg Assembly using (4) screws. You
are fastening into the top of the Rear Leg, two screws on
each end.
Important:
Make sure that the seat is TIGHTLY
screwed and FLUSH with the upright leg assembly. The
board should be right up against the Front Leg, and sitting
completely on the Rear Leg.
For additional strength, drill two holes on the outside of
the legs. These holes should go though the face of the leg
and into the edge of the seat. You may need to measure
the distance from the floor to determine where to drill. (It
will be approximately 11 ½” from the floor.)
REPEAT
at
the opposite side of the bench.
From the outside of the leg, use (4) more screws to further
pull the seat to the legs. In total, there will be (8) screws
holding the seat to the legs – four on the top of the seat,
and four from the ends.
