Kids Bench

Modern DIY Kids Bench

We each built a secret project and then exchanged half way for the other to finish – without telling what it was meant to be. 

This bench is a quick afternoon project. It’s a few simple cuts and can be made rather quickly.

Step 1 – Prepare lumber

Make all the cuts per the plans. Make the pocket holes in the rails and the slats as shown in the plans.

Step 2 Build the side

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.

Step 3 – Attach the rail

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.

Step 4 – Attach the slat
