Cut Out your Outer Legs: You will need 2 of these exactly the same. If you have a preferred ‘side’ of your plywood, you will want to flip this template around to mirror so you have the appropriate side on the showing side. This diagram shows you how to connect the mark out the shape you need for this portion and corresponds to the angles shown in the diagram. Use your circular saw to cut this out. If you simply connect the dots between the dimensions outlined below and use a circular saw to make these cuts, you won’t have to worry about the actual angle for each corner. If you prefer to build this using Wood rather than plywood, I recommend creating a template using the image below, out of plywood or cardboard and then transferring that shape to your boards of choice.

Cut Out your Inner Legs: You will need 2 of these, exactly the same. This diagram shows you how to connect the mark out the shape you need for this portion and corresponds to the angles shown in the diagram. Use your circular saw to cut this out. If you simply connect the dots between the dimensions outlined below and use a circular saw to make these cuts, you won’t have to worry about the actual angle for each corner. If you prefer to build this using Wood rather than plywood, I recommend creating a template using the image below, out of plywood or cardboard and then transferring that shape to your boards of choice.

After you have cut out your Inner Lower Legs, you will attach them to the Outer Leg Units allowing the Bottom of the Inner Leg to be flush with the Bottom of the Outer Leg. The Top of the Inner Leg will sit 3/4” lower than the Top of the Lower portion of Outer Leg to allow for the Seat Slats later, and will sit back 3/4” from the front edge to allow for the Support Trim in a later step. The Back of the Inner Leg will extend back past the Back edge of the Outer Lower Leg and will act as the actual portion that rests on the ground. Refer to the Project Image in this step for reference as to how this lays out.

Cut Out your Front Legs: This is most easily done by marking out 21” on your 1×6 or from your plywood and then a 2” width on one end and a line made between that 2” edge and the existing edge 21” up from it. Then attach to the Leg Units by fastening it from the inside using 1 1/4” Screws and glue.

Attach the Support Trim: Fasten in place using 1 1/4” Screws and glue or Finish Nails, and fasten them into the Inner Lower Legs.

Attach the Back Rest Panels: You will cut a 1×6 to size (rip it into a 1 x 4 1/2) just as you did in the previous step and you will attach them to the Outer Upper Leg using your Kreg Jig® set for 3/4” stock and your 1 1/4” pocket hole screws and glue or 1 1/4” Screws or Galvanized Nails. The Back Rest Panels will be fastened in place flush with the inside edge of the Outer Upper Leg and should begin 1/4” from the Top of the Outer upper Leg and then be placed 1” apart after that.

Construct the Arm Unit: Create your pocket holes for your arm unit, using your Kreg Jig® set for 3/4” stock and place them as shown below in the Rail (blue) and the Arms (green) at the place they will fasten to the Outer Upper Legs (this is determined by where the arm units will hit if they are perfectly perpendicular to the Front Legs). Build part of a Face Frame for the Arm Unit by using your 1 1/4” pocket hole screws and glue to fasten the Rail to the Stiles (Blue to Green). Then you will fasten the arm unit to the Outer Upper Leg. Fasten the Arm Unit to the Front Legs using 1 1/4” Screws or Galvanized Nails. Support the Arm Unit using a 1 1/2” triangular piece as shown below. Fasten it in place approximately in the Center of the Side of the Front Leg using 1 1/4” screws or Galvanized Nails.
