4 - Attaching the upper back rail

Positioning the upper rail over the slats, start at one end to push the rail down, snapping the slats into the groove as you go.

Once the pieces are all in place, glue and screw the half-laps joining the rail and rear legs.

To complete the bench, glue wood filler strips in the upper rail groove amongst the slats.

This will keep the slats from shifting.

Chapter 12 How to make a park bench

The park bench can serve as a stationary bench, or as a glider. The height of the bench without the glider may be a bit low for some users, but adding 3 inches to the leg lengths provided in the requirements will yield a standard-height bench.

Utalizing mainly modest butt joints, the park bench is rather straightforward to construct. While not as robust as the half-lap, the butt joint is quick and easy to assemble and it does an even better job of shedding water and moisture.

Reinforcing the joinery with waterproof glue and screws makes it sufficiently robust. Another concession to straightforwardness is the usage of same-size stock for back and seat slats. This enables you rip all the slats with the same setting on your table saw, speeding building and reducing errors.

Requirements:

Front legs: Quantity: 2, Thickness: 1 1/4 inches, Width: 4 inches, Length: 20 ¾ inches
