For the outer frame, you’ll need 2 long rails and two short rails. These boards will form the rectangular outline of the apron beneath the bench seat. Then you’ll need 5 width-wise internal frame supports and 8 long top slats that will form the actual seat of the bench. You’re also going to construct a simple leg at each corner of the bench, and add these stretchers for stability. Start by screwing together the 2 long and 2 short rails that form the outline of the bench. Be sure your frame angles are square. If they aren’t, your whole bench will be bent out of shape. You can check for “square” by taking two measurements, corner-to-corner diagonally, and making sure the two lengths match. When you’re putting these pieces together, add a little glue to each screw point to help set the frame solid. Don’t forget to use a countersink bit on your screws — this will help the screw heads sit flush with the wood, and it’ll keep the wood from splitting when you tighten them.
