Build a bench - woodworking plan

5 January 2011 kl 11:01

It only takes an hour or two from log to completed bench. Use a chainsaw, folding rule, set square, hammer, and nails – and do not be unecessarily careful, you will get a good result anyway!

To produce the two diagonally sawn boards, make a 7” block that is 221 cm (87 inches) long. Make a diagonal cut by not letting the cradle foot on the short arm reach the notch in the screw plate, but letting it be positioned next to it. Support the guide rail by placing sticks under it, in order to prevent the guide rail from moving while you are sawing. Make sure the block is securely fastened.

Boards:
Diagonally sawn 2”7 (51x178 mm):
two 185 cm, two 35 cm.
1 1/4”7 (32x178mm):
one 140 cm, four 35 cm.

Building instructions:
Draw a curve on the 140 cm long board (e.g. by attaching a pencil to a 150 cm long string and fastening the other end of the string 142 cm from the centre of the board). Let the curve barely cover half the board width. Saw along the drawn line with a chainsaw.

Nail two of the legs (A) to the curved board. Make sure that the curved board does not protrude from the outer side of the leg board.

Mark the middle of the short, diagonally cut boards (B) and nail them to the legs, centred on the end of the curved board. Let the diagonally sawn piece stick up 3-4 mm above the leg board and the curved board.

Attach the two other legs with nails (C).

Cut of the leg boards with the chainsaw (C) so that they are in line (D) with the upper corners of the short diagonally cut boards (B) and the lower corners of the legs.

Place the long, diagonaly cut boards (E) on the construction, and nail them to the short, diagonally cut boards with a space of 1 cm between them.

Finally, you carve off the rough edges with a sharp knife.

Good Luck!

Coach Factory I would say that the experience of shopping at a Coach Factory store is VERY different than shopping at one of their full price boutiques. If someone doesn’t know the difference, maybe it is because they have never shopped at a full price store? At the Factory Store, Coach Factory Online the service is much less personal and the focus is on getting people through the line so they can buy their stuff. At the boutique, it is much more personal and less rushed. There are more sales associates per customer and they take the time to get to know you and what you would like to buy. Coach Outlet It makes sense because you are paying a lot more at the boutique. The boutique has a generous return policy while the Factory store has a more limited one. I want to know what’s up with the Coach Factory Store’s policy of not being allowed to buy more than 5 leather goods or 10 other items at a time. Coach Outlet Online I had this problem trying to purchase bags as christmas gifts for family and friends this year.
