the mortise and tenons were glued as well as pegged

the top joints were done the same way, they were dry fitted and temporarily screwed while the mortises were done then the plywood braces were glued and screwed on, the top was unscrewed and removed straight up, then glued and pegged into place

it has one coat of some old leftover water based poly

the material is Douglas fir recycled from packaging used to ship some pvc trim material, it was a 2×6 12 feet long mostly knot free with a little damage from a forklift when i saw this i knew i had to make something out of it

re worked railing, lowered so it wouldn’t be in line of sight when sitting down, used old spindles

they all had to cut a little off of both ends so to save time and to give accuracy I used two saws

they are screwed down to the bench, a piece of plywood clamped to the saws with a screw in it provides an indexing pin

I had some thin scraps of mahogany that I nailed the spindles too, the top and bottom rails were precut on the job and taken back to the shop to use a pattern for the strips to get the correct length and angles on the ends, just need some warm weather so it can be caulked and painted
