Like the image shows the bench seat rests on two blocks which sets it 16 off the ground.
Diy dining room bench seating.
Now that everything is cut and sanded you are ready to build a bench.
The dining room built in bench with storage is finally done.
Once you have all your wood cut you will need to sand each piece to remove the rough edges.
Adding this table provided a bit more space for seating so i knew that the diy built in dining bench would be the perfect addition.
Use 2 4 wood and 3 4 thick plywood to create the bench frame.
Optionally add hinges to the top instead of using screws to attach it for it to serve as the lid.
I actually started blogging about all my projects so that i would have to finish them.
The whole bench is 58 long.
I started this project in january before i started blogging and it has taken too long to finish but it is done now.
Yet another easy to build diy bench is available at my outdoor plans.
The chairs cost about 40 each to diy and less if you already have.
Cut the footboard in half to use the halves as armrests.
I re stained the oak table using my trusted refinishing an oak table method.
Cut wood to length.
I first found a more oval style oak table that fit the space much better at my local goodwill.
Sand pieces of wood.
Sand and paint or stain the wood to get the design you.
This way the bench.
First you need to cut all your wood.
