This way the bench.
Build a bench for dining table.
Because of their thickness some saws won t be able to cut them.
Optionally add hinges to the top instead of using screws to attach it for it to serve as the lid.
Sand pieces of wood.
First i cut the pieces of walnut to size on my bandsaw.
I knew i wanted these benches to be big and beefy so i was immediately drawn to using 4 4 s for these as well.
Apply several coats of wood stain to the wooden components fill the holes with wood filler and smooth the surface.
Once you have all your wood cut you will need to sand each piece to remove the rough edges.
Sand and paint or stain the wood to get the design you.
I sold my table saw and this piece of wood was too small for my track saw.
There are some things you need to remember though.
Once i finished the diy dining table bench seat top i started building the bench seat bottom.
These are beautiful and cheap at the same time.
Cut the footboard in half to use the halves as armrests.
The bottom closely resembles the dining table bottom a simple farmhouse style bottom with half lap wood joinery.

Cut wood to length.
Use 2 4 wood and 3 4 thick plywood to create the bench frame.
Now that everything is cut and sanded you are ready to build a bench.
