How to build a 2×4 bench

Fitting-the-legs

The first step of the project is to build the sides for the 2×4 bench. Cut the components at the right dimensions from 2×4 lumber. Make sure the corners are square and align the edges with attention. Drill pilot holes and insert 2 1/2″ screws to lock them together tightly.

Fitting-the-middle-supports

Attach the next layers of 2×4 lumber. Cut the components at the dimensions shown in the diagram, drill pilot holes and insert 2 1/2″ screws to lock them tightly together. Align the edges with attention.

Assembling the bench

Add the rest of the modules to the 2×4 bench. Align the edges with attention and make sure the corners are square.

Side supports

Fit the 2×4 support to the sides of the bench. Align the edges flush and drill pilot holes through the legs, before inserting 2 1/2″ screws. In addition, drill pilot holes through the supports and insert 2 1/2″ screws into the middle vertical blockings.

Fitting the side trims

Last but not least, attach the 2×4 trims to the sides of the bench. Drill pilot holes through the trims and insert 2 1/2″ screws to lock them into place tightly. Fill the holes with wood putty and then smooth the surface with 120-220 grit sandpaper. Apply a few coats of paint or stain over the components to enhance the look of the project.
