Assembly guidance for this frame
- Cut every member from Sheet C-02 board by board, then write its part ID on each piece in pencil so nothing gets mixed up.
- Laminate the legs: glue and screw the L-01 pieces together in pairs to make 8 solid posts (8 screws per post, staggered both faces).
- Build the top frame and 1 lower shelf frame using the F-01 aprons and 10 C-01 cross-joists in the cut list. Place the cross-joists in the gaps between leg positions as shown in the plan projection and member coordinates; the front apron conceals their ends in the front elevation. Confirm joints and supports suit the actual worktop and intended loads.
- Place each paired leg BETWEEN the front and rear apron faces; do not put a leg and apron in the same timber volume or cut an unspecified notch. Bolt the legs to the frames with suitable reviewed connections, top frame flush with the top of the legs (bench height 915 mm including the top).
- Stand the bench on a flat floor, check level both ways and the diagonals for square; shim or trim legs as needed.
- Plan the worktop at 3660 mm x 1220 mm separately. The listed leg lengths allow a 36mm top; a different top thickness needs its leg allowance reviewed before cutting. Confirm the worktop material and its fixings suit your intended use.
- Fit the lower shelf boards, ease all edges, and seal the top with 2 coats of oil or poly.
Tools: Mitre / circular saw, Drill-driver + impact driver, Spirit level (1200mm / 4ft), Tape measure, square, pencil, Clamps (at least 4), 10mm drill bit + socket set.
