2 Seater with center table from 1×6
$5.00
Description
This is a downloadable PDF file containing 12 pages of plans, drawings, and step-by-step picture laden building instructions.
This style of bench is very common and there are many varied versions posted around the place.
What differentiates this version is that it is built mostly out of rough 1×6 (150mm x 25mm) actual (true) size lumber.
It is both inexpensive and easy to make – a very comfortable bench with a convenient build in table in the middle
The bench is 61-1/2″ (1560mm) long

ZOE –
After a few initial explanations and a couple throughout the project, Les left me alone to read from the plans and get on with it.
I felt I handled the electric saw and drill with confidence and ease. I wasn’t at all intimated by the drop-saw as I read some of the
first-time girls were and I soon learnt to hold the drill-driver in proper alignment with the screws. There were only a couple of instances (maybe more) where I had to call on Les for some assistants.
It was such a lot of fun and I thouroughly enjoyed it. I think I could just about do another one by myself although Les said for safety reasons I would probably need supervision for the next one or two. It took about six hours to make over a couple of days.
I would recommend anyone to give such a project a try.
I am very proud of my bench seat with it’s little table.

Hei.
Har laget noen av disse benkene, men har gjort noen endringer.
Del “D” er 5 gr. i forkant og ca. 10 gr. i bakkant.
Dette gjør at setet heller ca. 5 gr. mot ryggen. Mye bedre sete.
Legger ved et bildet av den jeg har laget.
