Step One
Cut the pieces for the legs. Cut the curves as desired using a jigsaw or a bandsaw, and drill pocket holes in one straight edge of two of the pieces. Assemble using glue and 2-1/2″ pocket hole screws.
Step Two
Cut the piece for the stretcher and drill pocket holes at each end. Position as shown and secure using glue and 2-1/2″ pocket hole screws.
Step Three
Cut the pieces for the top and drill pocket holes as shown. Assemble using glue and 2-1/2″ pocket hole screws.
Step Four
Cut the pieces for the top supports. Position as shown then secure using glue and countersunk 2-1/2″ screws.
Step Five
Position the seat on the legs and secure using countersunk 2-1/2″ screws through the legs into the supports.
Finish as desired!
