As you can easily notice in the diagram you need to make 10 degree cuts to both ends of the legs. Lay the piece of timber that will form the top of the bench on to a flat surface and place the frame of the bench into the centre of it. Place your legs 3 4 from the other edge of the 2 x 8 and mark where you want them with a pencil. Use 2x2s to make the frame then secure it to the bench top with some wood screws before upholstering it so you can hide the screws under the cushion.

Once the cushion is all arranged pull tightly and use the staple gun to secure it. Building a dining bench building the sides of the bench the first step of the project is to build the sides of the bench. Clamp the top in place and then screw a screw through each of the horizontal bars to attach the frame and the top of the bench together. Cut 3 pieces of 3 4 plywood for the storage bench top at 18 1 4 x 32.

Now that you have your two legs built it s time to put the whole bench together. The tools lumber materials and cut list everything you need to build the bench.

Most diy benches that i ve seen and made use cheaper quality pine which is fine but i m actually looking into making a similar bench to what you ve made and wonder if i would be better off buying a store bought bench due to the added cost of materials. This quick and easy diy will allow you to replace two dining room chairs with a functional bench and if we re talking about fitting little ones.
