Put in another couple evenings this week. All of the SPF is width/thickness dimensioned, and most of it is length cut as well. Was assembling the legs tonight, and revisited my towhead youth with this manuever:
Luckily it was easily recovered:
Eventually, I finished assembling the legs, cutting and drilling the end stretcher and end pipe-holding pieces and cutting all of the 8 foot pieces. After I drill the pipe and screw holdes in the 8 footers, I can assemble everything to look like a bench (except for the back 12” bench top…)

Hey, Ben. Lookin’ good! It’s funny that we both did a goof when making the legs… I look forward to the next installment.

I didn’t even know what you were talking about until I saw the picture where you had to take your workmate apart. That’s hilarious! We’ve all done it. Good start.

Looks like you are well on your way to an outstanding bench.

I’m sure we’ve all had what my father calls bone-head moments, I know I have. Sometimes you just have to make sacrifices for progress.

Took me a second also. That is funny. At least it you could recover.
Otherwise, nice job. Looks like a fine bench.
