The 2
x 4
plywood top of the bench will be larger
than the frame underneath. Decide which side of
the bench you want to be the back and align the
plywood top so that it is even with the legs along
the back of the bench. This way should you wish
to attach vertical supports and then attach a peg
board or similar organization device it will be an
easy process.
Your bench is now complete.
There are 3 - 16
cross braces under the top, as
pictured above. These should be both glued and
screwed into place.
Assemble the legs as pictured above. It is a good
idea to pre-drill all holes in the members that the
screws go through first. Apply wood glue along
all surfaces that are to make contact. Glue and
screw the 2
x 4
wood blocks at the bottom of
each set as shown. Before you finalize this step
please refer to B3.
The legs are not identical within each pair one
is a mirror image of the other. This is how the
partially assembled bench frame will appear
with the 41
and 19
2 x 4’s in place and the legs
properly oriented. Glue and screw.
