We each built a secret project and then exchanged half way for the other to finish – without telling what it was meant to be.
After a lot of iterations, I decided to turn it into a bench for my little boy.
Make all the cuts per the plans. Make the pocket holes in the rails and the slats as shown in the plans.
The sides are built using countersunk screws. They are simple rectangles. Make sure they are all square and level. It helps to use a speed square as you assemble.
Attach rails between sides using pocket hole screws to complete the frame of the bench.
Attach the slats between the rails with 2-1/2″ pocket hole screws.
