4 [13] Cut List: /2 (Legs) /4 (Spacers) (End Aprons) (Stretchers) (Side Aprons) /2 (Inner Aprons) /2 (Supports) (Bench Seat Boards) (Breadboard Ends) General Instructions: The is designed to work with this Farmhouse Table, but there is no reason you could not modify the dimensions or use it as a coffee table or outdoor bench. If you plan to build the Farmhouse Table, starting with the bench will give you a chance to test out your skills on a smaller version. For those of you who have a pocket hole system, you can use the pocket holes to build your bench seat separate. You can also fasten your aprons directly to the legs without spacers. Page 4 of 12

5 [14] Legs The notches and stretchers on the legs is optional. Notch out your legs (for full instructions see the Farmhouse Table post) and laminate your legs together in pairs of 2 with glue and 2 1/2 screws. Then take note of the placement of the spacers and attach to the insides of the legs. This will differ depending on the leg. Attach with 2 screws and Step 1 glue. Page 5 of 12

6 [15] End Aprons Attach end aprons to the spacers as shown above. Use glue and 2 screws. Step 2 Page 6 of 12

7 [16] Stretcher The stretcher gets attached in the same method. Screws and glue. Step 3 Page 7 of 12

8 [17] Bench Frame Build the bench frame, keeping the 1 2 supports flush to the top. Easy method is to flip it all over and keep the supports flush to the bottom :) Step 4 Page 8 of 12

9 [18] Attaching Legs Screw bench frame to legs with glue and 2 1/2 screws. Page 9 of 12

10 [19] Seat Boards Find the center of the supports and begin attaching seat boards from the underside. Work with the boards to minimize gaps as you go. Attach all seat boards. If you have a pocket hole system, you would build your bench seat separate, and then attach. Page 10 of 12

11 [20] Breadboard Ends If you have a pocket hole system, you would attach the breadboard ends directly to the seat boards in step 6. Otherwise, attach to leg bases. Step 8 Finishing If you are staining, be very careful to not let glue dry on the project, as these areas will not take stain. Fill holes with wood filler, sand and paint or stain as desired.
