    The only thing I don’t like is all the screws! Wow! I use a lot of dowels in a case like this. But not as many as these screws. But I do like the bench., I think I’ll try it

    I think I have figured out most of the dimensions. 3 1x6x8 for the 6 back legs/back staves - each about 42" long The slope starts at 19" and ends about 2 1/2" from the back. You will need either a very long leg tapering jig, or a sled to hold down the staves at an angle, while you cut the slope, or you may need to tack some boards to a piece of plywood and make your own custom jig. This turned out to be the longest step for me. 6 1x4x8 for everything else The front legs are 19" long; the pieces in the middle are 5" and 7" with 3 1/2" gaps between and after them. The staves that hold up the seat lathes are 24" long in the middle, with both side pieces being 15" long; 9" of the 24" are for the 2 mortises - 5 1/2 and 3 1/2" A 3/4" Round Over Router bit is probably best to make the crown at the top of the back, and the crown at the front of the seat. The seat lathes are 47 7/8" long; some of the lathes are cut in half for comfort. Add 2" deck screws and Titebond 3 to the shopping list. Since we are using 8' lengths of pine, there is very little waste. They can be cut in half, although that means that rather than 24" pieces, they will really be 23 15/16" and 48" pieces will really be 47 15/16". No one will notice.

    I wish you would have shown how to build the legs. Video begins with them complete except for the middle part for the M&T. Overall nice bench. I want to build this. I suppose I can wing it for the legs.

    You can use a wet cloth or just wait for it to dry and it will come off pretty easily with your finger nail or something like a chisel.

    Come on guys. Wes figured out the design and his cut list, if you are any kind of wood workers you should be able to do the same. Be original.
