An Easy to Build Bench with Curved Legs

Free Plans to Build a Curvy Bench

Previously, I posted plans for the Curvy Table… Today, I’m sharing the free plans to build a Curvy Bench to match. The materials listed are for one bench, so if more than one bench is being built, adjust the lumber and cut lists accordingly! Stay tuned for the plans to build the matching armchair which will complete the collection!

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!
